Chapter 847: A Near-Out of Control Post-Game Press Conference
104-103, the Lakers were beaten by a one-pointer by the Spurs' Danny. Green lore.
Said to say Danny. Green, in fact, it would be better to say that the ball was the result of the Spurs' team tactical efforts. From the moment Popovich laid out this tactic, the entire Spurs team was like a precision instrument, working tightly, without a single flaw. Not a single bit.
Even with only 1.7 seconds left in the game, Duncan did not rush to make a move, and still strictly executed this tactical operation. Therefore, this spurs stunner is definitely not a matter of one person, it belongs to all San Antonios.
Seeing that the Spurs all hit a 3-pointer, Danny. Green surrounded him, Tang Qian's eyes were frozen, and his face seemed to be full of disbelief. It was as if all the noisy shouts around it had been blocked out, except for the blood-red 104-103 on the scorer. And just 1.7 seconds ago, that place, it was still 101-103.
Compared to the atmosphere of the entire San Antonio home arena and the excited commentary at the AT&T Center Arena, the Lakers' side is terrifyingly quiet. It's not just about losing a game. What was lost was the Lakers' entire playoff journey and the morale of the remaining players in Los Angeles.
All of a sudden, it collapsed.
and the cheetah, which fought its last breath, finally collapsed before the finish line due to exhaustion.
Died a little unclear, died a little reluctantly.
This is very different from the mood of losing in the regular season, or even being eliminated in the playoffs before.
was eliminated by the Thunder in the first year, Tang Qian is still a pure newcomer, and the data played is okay, the ability is there, there is no ability card, he is simply a very ordinary substitute and rotation player. In the second year, his personal strength has grown a lot, and he has also added various personal honors, so he should be a star player who is not too big or small. If the Lakers don't have "No. 1 center" Dwight. Howard's suppression, then Tang Qian will only play better. Well, no matter what, anyway, the final "Tang Huo dispute" was Tang Qian's victory, he made Howard have to leave, and he finally became the well-deserved starting No. 5 position for the Los Angeles Lakers. But last year's situation was just as bad, Kobe's Achilles tendon tear, Gasol's injury, Nash's injury, and the team's entire morale have been dispersed, and at the moment when Kobe Bryant's season was reimbursed, the Los Angeles Lakers have only regarded entering the playoffs as the ultimate goal of the season. Although Tang Qian averaged 11.9 points, 21.9 rebounds, 7.6 blocks, 2.1 assists, and 0.4 steals per game, while getting a 56% shooting rate, and even in the fifth game of the series, he played an exciting 43 points, 29 rebounds, 9 blocks, 3 assists, 1 steal, and a large quasi-triple-double, but it was still in the last game, losing to the San Antonio Spurs, and unfortunately stopped in the first round.
But the situation in the past two years has been different from this year, and too many people in the Lakers have bet on their careers and this season, including Tang Qian himself, who have high expectations for this year. Unexpectedly, it was still going to stop in the Western Conference Finals.
Maybe for many teams, reaching the Western Conference Finals is a very successful season, but for the current Lakers team, it is directly tantamount to failure.
A naked, utter failure.
And Tang Qian can be very sure that the Lakers will not have such a good chance to win the championship in the next few years.
It's a shame that he wasted this opportunity!
It's a shame that he didn't take this opportunity!
It's shameful that he still didn't let Kobe and Nash finally realize their dreams, isn't it???
What else do you want to be a reguider of history, a redefiner, and now? What is this? Is this a reboot? Redefined??? It's all dogs. Excrement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In addition to Tang Qian, there was also Nash, who was also stunned for a moment, looking at Danny from the bench. Green threw in the corner, and at that moment, he felt like he was being sucked away from him. Throughout his career, he never touched Larry again. The O'Brien Cup is hopeful.
The fact that Nash, who joined the Warriors' coaching staff in the future, secretly kissed the championship trophy and the FMVP trophy is proof of this.
Once Nash lost the 2010 Western Conference Finals, he hugged Kim in the locker room. Terry's crying is proof of this.
This 40-year-old old man who is still working hard in the NBA league has lowered his expectations for himself again and again, from the absolute boss of FMVP to winning the championship, to the main team winning the championship, and even the substitute winning the championship. But for now...... But everything has become a mirror, and it has come to naught.
And he is also very aware of his physical state, and he is completely holding it in one breath and pouring it out, and it is time for him to retire. If it drags on any longer, it will only get worse and worse, with more and more injuries, worse and worse ability, and more and more annoying.
Of course, on the 24th, his eyes at the moment are full of all kinds of emotions, some are unwilling, some are surprised, some are afraid, but more than that, they are still angry! Still extremely angry!!
He had a good performance tonight, scoring a full 47 points, and from the second half, almost all of the Lakers' goals went through his hands. He also played the whole game, and there was no slack from start to finish. How......
Still lost to the San Antonio Spurs! Moreover, it was the opponent who took the victory in the last 1.7 seconds!
This...... How can he be willing???
But everyone is a mature professional athlete, and in the end, we still have to accept the facts and reality.
If you lose, you lose, and there is no way to change it.
You can only bow your head and swallow it all.
Duncan and Kobe Bryant hugged each other, but compared to the former's smiling face, the latter's face was pale, and there was no kindness in sight. If he could, Kobe Bryant would have ......
Duncan also knew that No. 24 was in a bad mood now, and he didn't care about anything, he hugged Nash and Gasol respectively, and finally he walked to Tang Qian, who was still in a daze, and said: "Hot, you have done a good job, your rebounding, your blocks, and your defensive deterrence have reached a height rarely seen in the league, believe me, don't be discouraged, the future belongs to you." ”
Duncan didn't mean to ridicule this sentence, and his tone was very sincere, but Tang Qian's heart was still only unhappy.
Extreme unhappiness.
Duncan suddenly said something inopportune at this time: "Hot, if you want to taste the finals as soon as possible, touch the supreme Larry as soon as possible. O'Brien Cup, you can think about whether you want to come to our Spurs next season, I remember you signed a 1+1 contract, right? It's still a player option, so you can ...... well during this time of the offseason."
Hearing this, Tang Qian was really on fire, and he separated himself from Duncan, and then said in a cold and blunt tone: "You just defeated me and want to recruit me?" Are you thinking too much? Tim. Duncan??? Tang Qian directly called the full name of the Spurs No. 21, and the meaning was obvious: "I can tell you this, I will never leave, and I will never join you San Antonio." I want to defeat you! Step on your head and get to the finals!! to win my own championship!! ”
"Hot! Don't you really think about it? You're a pro, this is the NBA, and with Kevin's words, don't let your loyalty hurt you. Duncan seemed to really want the No. 29 in front of him to join the Spurs, so he didn't give up, and still persuaded him. When Tang Qian heard this, he directly said angrily:
"Why don't you go? Why don't you leave San Antonio for the rest of your life? If you can't answer my question, don't talk to me about any solicitation nonsense! Tang Qian said in an extremely unkind tone: "I'm not Garnett!" I'm not James either! I am who I am! What I'm going to do is beat! Not to join! It's not a defection! It's not a huddle!! ”
"Good night! Enjoy the evening! After speaking, Tang Qian walked towards the direction of the player's tunnel without looking back.
The back and answer turned out to be the famous Tim. Duncan was also speechless, and for a moment did not know how to answer.
This little guy ......
Duncan shook his head after a moment's pause, then turned to join the Spurs in cheering.
At the post-game press conference, none of the Lakers attendees had a good look.
Whether it is Kobe Bryant, Nash or Tang Qian, they are all "cold and stinky faces" that no one should enter, but whenever a reporter who doesn't open his eyes asks some questions that shouldn't be asked, the three of them will directly slam back. Even Steve, who has always appeared in the league as "Mr. Yes". Nash, who was also possessed by evil fire tonight, asked a reporter the wrong word, and Nash immediately said unceremoniously: How do I know who is stronger between the Spurs and the Heat??? If you want to know the answer, you can just ask Popovich or Eric. Spoelstra.
This kind of talk is put in the ordinary, Steve. Nash would never say that, but tonight, when he thought his career was coming to an end in the Western Conference Finals, his temper kicked in. It doesn't matter who you are, you don't want to be reserved anymore.
Nonsense! I've been reserved for 18 years! I'm 40 years old! I'm in my last season! Can't I still have a little temper tantrum for a night???
Damn the media!! Damn San Antonio!! Damn the Western Conference Finals!!
Some people also asked Tang Qiandao, who scored 14 points, 25 rebounds, 9 blocks and 2 assists:
Hot, do you think you cut the quasi-triple-double data tonight, have you already walked out of the state haze of the previous two games?
Tang Qian was also similar to Nash, and he opened his mouth and said:
What quasi-triple-double? The answer is that we lost! So don't ask me how the data is! It doesn't make the slightest sense! It doesn't make any sense! OK???
There was also a reporter who stood up and asked:
Excuse me, how do you feel the moment you were killed? Do you regret not seeing through Duncan's shooting feints?
Tang Qianyan became a little angry when he heard this, and when he looked at this reporter's work card press card, he broke out even more evilly:
Is there something wrong with your ESPN? What do you say is the moment you are killed? It's the same as when you were in love, someone suddenly cut off the bottom!! Do you understand??? The ball was my responsibility and I didn't defend Tim well at the end. Duncan!!! I'll apologize to the whole team!! Satisfied???
"Hot, don't get too excited, remember so much, it's easy to affect your public image." The press officer of the Lakers kindly reminded Tang Qian behind him, but unfortunately, immediately, the next person made the scene explode.
Bryant, what do you think the Lakers should do next season? Can you make it to the finals again? to beat the San Antonio Spurs???
Kobe Bryant said with a gloomy face:
I don't know how the next season is supposed to be, that's a management thing, I just want to say that the season isn't over yet, we're not really eliminated. Let's talk about these stupid questions when we are really swept out!
As for how to beat the Spurs, I'll tell you in the rest of the game.
At this moment, the scene became lively, because most of the reporters are very smart, so they immediately grasped the essence and explosive point of Kobe's words:
Bryant! You mean the Lakers still have hope of advancing to the Finals? Is that right?
Another ESPN reporter said:
IMHO! Bryant! After falling behind 0-3 in the series, no team in NBA history has ever successfully turned the tables around, so why do you think the Lakers can do it? Or are you just repeating the 2010-2012 playoff nonsense?
This passage is pointed, because the Lakers were led by a large margin in the playoffs in those two years, and Kobe Bryant said something similar. Maybe you think I'm crazy, but I still believe the Lakers can make a comeback.
As a result, of course, it failed.
Kobe's words naturally became a laughing stock for a while.
Kobe Bryant looked at this ESPN questioning reporter, his eyes were about to release icicles, and he blurted out directly:
Just because we're the Los Angeles Lakers! Just because I have Kobe Bryant in the team. Bryant!!!
And this reporter said with some mockery:
I'm sorry, Bryant, your words don't make any sense at all, and it looks more like boring cruelty that I can't do after losing a fight but lose face for the sake of face. The truth is, you've been crushed by the Spurs, the Lakers are 3-0 down, and no team in NBA history has ever made a comeback.
Never.
Not once.
Hearing this, Kobe Bryant actually stood up with a little out of control, he was already in a terrible mood, he had no future, but he still had to listen to this dog. The-like reporter is blind here.***, in his heart, he can no longer suppress his anger.
In an instant, the scene was plunged into chaos.
