Chapter 108: Tang's Block Shows Its Strength (Part I)
"Good morning audience friends, this is Chao. Ting Sports Channel, the game brought to you today is the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the New York Knicks, I am Yu Jia, I am Zhang Weiping. β
"Director Zhang, I don't know what you think of Jeremy Lin?" Yu Jia asked at the beginning.
"Jeremy Lin is the No. 1 defender in Asia." Zhang instructed.
"Asia's No. 1 defender? Wow, Director Zhang has a very high opinion of Jeremy Lin! β
"No, it's not that it's highly rated, but in the entire NBA, he's the only Asian guard, and that's a well-deserved honor." Zhang Weiping continued: "Personally, I think that because of Jeremy Lin's success, the status of Asian American guards on the international basketball court will also change in the future, just like Yao Ming's success in the NBA. Americans are actually a people who value experience very much, and if there is no previous successful case, then they will be suspicious. For example, if the NBA did not have the success of Garnett and Kobe Bryant that year, then no matter how good James was in 2003, he would not have been elected as the top pick. So from this general point of view, Jeremy Lin sent a message to the NBA that the small man of the yellow race can also survive in the NBA, and this is what I think 'Linsanity' really brings. β
"It's really worthy of Director Zhang, and he really analyzed it thoroughly, so do you think it's the spring of the yellow guard, and it's coming?"
"Not really." Zhang instructed: "Jeremy Lin's physical fitness, there is absolutely no doubt, but if you want to say that none of our Chinese defenders have good health, it is unrealistic." As far as I've seen in various places, there are at least three or four of them with the same physical condition as Jeremy Lin, but I don't think they can make it to the NBA. Because aside from physical conditions, the basketball education they received and their understanding of basketball itself are far inferior to Jeremy Lin. What is the most important thing he should have as a basketball guard, especially a point guard? It's not the physicality, it's the basketball mind. If you look at the guard line of our national team, it is either dribbling over half the court, or the brain is hot, and ******** offensive type, which is a bit contrary to the four words point guard. β
"Director Zhang said it brilliantly." Seeing that Zhang Weiping was a little overdone, Yu Jia hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "But speaking of yellow people, Jeremy Lin is not the only one who is here today, China's Tang Qian, who recently joined the Lakers from the NBDL, is also a hot topic on the Internet, I don't know what Director Zhang thinks of him?" β
"Do you mean Tang Qian? Finally, another Chinese has stepped into the NBA, and of course I will pay attention. Zhang Weiping said: "Although he only played one game in the NBA for about ten minutes, he can still see some clues from this time." For example, his statistics in the last game, 6 assists, which fully shows that he has a good basketball IQ and passing vision, and 3 blocks, which also proves that his interior blocking is still good, and he is generally a blue-collar interior player with strong defense and weak offense. But I think he still has a couple of things that need to be strengthened. One is the ability to rebound, with a height of more than 7 feet, but judging from the statistics of the last game, his rebounding is not outstanding, which is definitely a big obstacle for him to gain a foothold in the NBA. The second is the ability to block and dismantle, because the team he joined is the Los Angeles Lakers, and there are already enough offensive points here, so he wants to continue to stay in the Lakers, and it is also quite important to do a good job of strategy and pick-and-roll. β
"Okay, we thank Director Zhang for his wonderful comments, let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams!"
"Lakers: Kobe Bryant. Bryant, Paul. Gasol, Derek. Fisher, Andrew. Bynum, charity. World. Peace. β
New York Knicks: Jeremy Lin, Jalaid. Jeffries, Tyson. Chandler, Bill. Walker, Landry. Fields. β
"Oh, we saw it, Cameron today. Anthony still hasn't been able to play, and it seems that his injury is not very optimistic. β
"Coach Zhang, who do you think has a better chance of winning today's game?"
"I think it's still the Lakers."
"Oh, why?"
"After all, the records of the two teams are there, one is 15-11 and the other is 11-15, and in terms of heritage and book strength, that is also the advantage of the Los Angeles Lakers. So if New York wants to win today's game, it will need to work hard. β
"Director Zhang is right, then let's take a look at this wonderful showdown."
"Okay, the Knicks won the scrum first, Jeremy Lin shot, but unfortunately the iron, oh, Jeremy Lin steals Ci Shiping again and passes to Landry. Fields. Landry shot, short, and the Lakers got the defensive rebound again. β
"Fisher made a three-point shot, oh, still missed, Kobe. Bryant grabbed the offensive rebound and got a strong hand under the basket! The Lakers took the lead with 2 points! β
β¦β¦
Like the previous game, Tang Qian didn't get a chance to play in the entire first quarter.
The score was 15-22, and the Lakers temporarily fell behind.
"shi.t~ Andrew, Paul, what are you doing? In the first quarter, he was killed by the yellow man and scored 10 points? Didn't you sleep last night??? Kobe Bryant was a little dissatisfied after the game, and was cut by a "nameless junior" in the first quarter with 10 points, which made him very unhappy with the team's interior line.
"Bryant, isn't this because you feel too bad?" The owner of the nunnery also had some "little emotion" and said: "You and Paul have only 10 shots, but each person has only scored one goal, and this kind of hit rate can lead the ghost." β
The owner of the nunnery only made one shot in the entire first quarter, so it's no wonder he has a "little emotion".
"What did you say?" When Kobe heard that the owner of the nunnery was coming to confront him again, he immediately said angrily: "You idiot! If you hadn't run at all, and just stood stupidly, wouldn't we have passed the ball to you??? Think about it for yourself!! β
For the situation that the owner of the nunnery is becoming more and more "big" on the offensive end and more and more "reserved" on the defensive end, Kobe Bryant has become a little intolerable. This is clearly to save your strength to attack! This kind of stupid thing, "paranoia" can get used to seeing ghosts! In his 20s, it is the time to grasp the offense and defense, and at this age, I want to play "Uncle Ball", so do you still have it when you are old? Don't play the "ancestor" ball anymore???
As soon as I remembered that this was the successor that the team management had found for him, Kobe Bryant was very angry in his heart!
"What, I don't run, I don't want to run! I'm going to give me the ball if I run and ask for a bit? The owner of the nunnery once again "committed two" and said.
βwhat.fuc.k.do.you.talkοΌοΌοΌβ Kobe Bryant's eyes widened when he heard this, and he stared at Andrew. Bynum said, "You kind of tell me again??? β
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Mike. Brown hurriedly said: "Bryant, now is not the time for infighting, and your hand in the first quarter is really not good, let's pass more inside in the second quarter!" β
"Did you hear that? Give me more passes in the second quarter! As if he had found a backer, the owner immediately demonstrated to Kobe.
"Okay, no problem, I just hope you can shoot that damn ball into the basket!" When Kobe Bryant heard this, his voice said coldly.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come back with a 10 points in a single quarter!" As if he had won, the owner of the nunnery patted his chest happily and said.
This game, Tang Qian's memory is slightly impressed, don't look at Andrew. Bynum is full of words now, but in fact, he feels even worse in this game! It seems that there is only 1 of 8 shots, and a "terrible" shooting rate of 12.5%! This kind of hit rate is not to mention the inside line, even if it is placed on the outside line, it is extremely smelly, and you can't see it at all!
Just when Tang was thinking about it, there was another person on the Lakers bench, who was restless.
He's Matt. Barnes.
Seeing that in the first quarter of the game, Jeremy Lin slashed 10 points, and the feeling in his heart was immediately wrong.
Even if he doesn't score later, he has to go all out to stare at this Asian kid, otherwise once he gets a score of 20+, he will be ......
The game continued in the second quarter, and this time I don't know if Kobe Bryant did it on purpose, but in the whole quarter, he actually only made one shot, and a large amount of the ball was sent into the interior for his interior players to attack. Paul. Gasol swept away the decline in the first quarter, shooting 3 of 3 in this quarter, and the offensive end was perfect. But the owner of the nunnery is a little miserable, he got a lot of opportunities to shoot in this section, but unfortunately the feeling is really "stinky to home", not to mention 1 in 5 shots, and was also Tyson. Chandler covered a bloody cap, and the whole person almost sat down on the floor!
At halftime, the Lakers were 41-49, temporarily trailing by eight points.
As soon as I entered the locker room, Kobe. Bryant said, "This is what some people are asking for?" A 20% hit rate is pretty good! β
"Bryant, you don't sarcastically mock me, didn't you also shoot 1 of 5 in the first quarter? Isn't it also a 20% hit rate? What is there to say about me? "The owner of the nunnery was originally playing in the second quarter of the game, so his tone was very bad at the moment.
"Hey, you know what?" After Kobe Bryant sneered, he said, "This is the difference between me and you!" β
"Did you see Paul? The first quarter of the game also scored only one goal, but what about the second quarter? Immediately shot 3 of 3, plus free throws, and scored 8 points in a row! And you? I can say you can't score more than 5 points in this game! β
"5 points? You look down on people less! As the Lakers' main center, will I not be able to surpass me by just 5 points? β
Hear Andrew. Bynum's rebuttal, Kobe Bryant said mercilessly: "Yes, I just look down on you, if you really have the ability, prove me wrong, otherwise, shut your stinky mouth for me!" β
"Bryant, don't be angry, now the team is only eight points behind, we have time to catch up." Seeing that the atmosphere in the locker room was a little tense, Mike. Brown immediately stepped up again.
"Coach Brown, being behind by 1 point is also behind, let alone by 8 points? In the third quarter, I want to increase my shots, and I have to catch up with the score! "Kobe Bryant looked at Mike. Brown glanced at it, and his voice was unwavering.
"Of course it's fine!" Mike. Brown is actually a little weak-hearted, after all, the tactics in the second quarter were arranged by him personally, but unfortunately the owner of the nunnery is really not angry, as a center inside, he actually shot a 20% shooting rate! This is a bit "excessive"! So Kobe Bryant said he was going to add shots in the third quarter, and Mike. Brown didn't think about it, and quickly agreed, no way, who called his tactics bad!
There is a saying in the NBA, it is called no superstar to play tactics, if there is a superstar, he will fight a superstar, even if the superstar XJBD, XJBT, then it's fine! Because of other people's abilities, they are placed there, not to mention a historical supergiant like Kobe? "His Majesty the Flying Man" has a good saying, the so-called tactics, that is, a thing that limits the ability of the supergiant, although it may make the team stronger, but for the supergiant itself, it is definitely a constraint. And for Kobe. The same is true for Bryant.
"Zen Master" Jackson once publicly said such things to the media, the first 45 minutes, the team played a triangle attack according to tactics, and the last 3 minutes, that was Kobe's time, he has the right to make all choices. In fact, this passage is very "beautiful", but if you remove these "beautiful" ingredients, it will become, the last 3 minutes of the Lakers are Kobe Bryant's XJBD time, whatever he XJBT, I have no opinion!
After listening to this passage, if you look at the Chicago Bulls game that year, you will find that in fact, in the "Windy City" Chicago, the "Zen Master" has always used this routine. Most of the time in front of the game was a triangular attack, and at the last moment, there was nothing to discuss, so it was stuffed to Michael. Jordan handled it himself. It can be seen that once the superstar ability is fully released, the power is really amazing.
Moreover, the basketball philosophy of the American basketball world is different from that of the international basketball community, they believe that the ball should be handed over to the strongest player of the team at the most critical moment, because this is the greatest guarantee for winning! Compared with the many complex tactics of international basketball, the critical moment of American basketball is simply straightforward to the extreme. You can say that it is a "brainless single" and "tactically poor", but it turns out that this "superstar" tactic is the strongest tactic at critical moments, because it is simple to the extreme, compared with the complexity and variety of international basketball, it is a bit of a "road to simplicity" feeling.
This can be clearly seen from the international competitions in the United States in recent years.
No matter how much your foreign team bites it, it will fall short in the end, or even collapse directly, the 08 Olympic Games final is a typical example, Kobe Bryant stood up at a critical moment, and Spain immediately lost the strength to parry. From 89-91 only two points behind the United States, it was pressed to 111-104 in a blink of an eye, of which the United States team's 14-point score was related to Kobe, and he himself got the perfect data of 9 points and 2 assists. That 3+1 outfit. forced the ball, and even made the Spanish big player Fernandez leave the field with 5 fouls, which made the outside strength of the Spanish team drop a notch all of a sudden.
Since then, world basketball has once again entered the American era.
So Kobe's XJBD ability, that's absolutely undoubted!
Don't say Mike. Brown, any player or coach in the league who comes will nod in the affirmative.
The black mamba at his peak, the key ball ability, is outrageously strong!
This is no joke!
At this moment, outside the field, on the Internet, a Twitter message attracted people's attention.
The tweeter was Charles. Barkley, who said online through his Twitter account:
I think in this ball, China can't get 5 blocks!
Immediately, the tweet got Kenny. Smith responded, saying:
Charles, are you making a bet?
When Barkley saw this, he replied:
That's right, that's it!
While~
Tang Qian, who was sitting at the end of the bench, suddenly changed his face, and then smiled slightly bitterly:
"You can really get me in trouble."
"Can't you just let me go?"
PS: This is the second update that I said today, thank you for your support of Xiaozi and this book~~~
Regarding Kobe's key ability, Xiao Zi looks at it this way, although the ability to press the whistle is also very strong, it is not as good as his ability to play key balls. The key ball and the lore ball should be seen separately, why does the impression flow always say that Kobe Bryant has a very good impression, why is the lore hit rate average? In fact, this question depends on what standard you use to measure, if you just look at the lore, it may not be as powerful as everyone thinks, but the key balls, such as lifting balloons, continuous chasing points, hemostatic balls, etc., these are Kobe's strengths, there are many games in the impression, although Kobe Bryant failed to kill, but a series of scoring frenzy before the lore, that is the foundation of the impression flow, and that is one of the factors that Kobe is really called "Mr. Key". For example, in the 12-13 season, three consecutive points tied the Raptors, although it was not a direct kill, but that terrible moment chasing ability is what really makes Xiao Zi unforgettable. By the way, it's great that my favorite clay kiln has finally been inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame! (I accidentally exposed my Yao Mi orientation, but I really like Yao Ming and the rocket back then!) οΌ
Thanks to the skull half-orcs for their big reward, Xiao Zi thanked ~~~
