Chapter 1023 The cry of the little people, the losing streak is over (the big chapter has been added~)

On the 12th of the Magic tonight, that is, our Tobias Harris, he feels that he is in good condition.

Even since he joined the NBA, the best time, the best state.

It felt so good, it made him feel confident tonight, and he felt that a night of his own was coming.

And the background board is the famous Los Angeles Lakers.

At this time, he found that after playing again, the Lakers changed players.

It was replaced by someone whose name he didn't even know.

This is normal. The NBA is a league with a lot of personnel turnover. Unless it is a core and fixed rotation, how can marginal people like drinking fountains come and go so much, how can they remember them all?Besides, before that, Robert Covington only played 7 regular season games in the NBA, playing a total of 34 minutes.This time is still garbage time, who can remember him?

Seeing this guy walking towards him, Tobias Harris immediately spat out trash talk: "You are the savior brought in by the Lakers? They can't guard me, do you think you can? Rookie?" In fact, in terms of age, Tobias Harris is more than a year younger than Robert Covington, but because he joined the league earlier, he has already played a certain role in the NBA. The name is gone.Robert Covington couldn't compare to him in this regard.

But Covington didn't say a word, he just stared at the individual, ready to attack and defend at any time.

However, the confrontation between the two did not come so soon, because the two teams took the lead in several offensive and defensive battles before that, but they all ended in iron strikes.Seeing that the situation was not good and the hand feeling was not good, the Magic began to give the ball to Tobias Harris again, asking him to help the team break this situation and suppress the Los Angeles Lakers in one go.

At the Amway Center, David Steele, the on-site commentator of the Magic, said: "The basketball was given to Tobias again. This young man who is less than 23 years old this year is in good condition tonight. It is right to give him the basketball." Decide. Come on, New York boy, seize the opportunity, seize tonight, and then, become famous in one fell swoop!"

The fans at the scene also booed, and it would be better for the Magic to kill this unknown opponent on the 12th.

Just listen to the taunting voices of various home fans at a closer position:

Where did the idiot come from?Hit him, Tobias, and let him know how good you are!

Boy, have you ever played in the CBA?Why have I never seen you in the NBA.

This is not the place for you, you bastard, wait to be blown up! ! !

You must be a ten-day short-term contract worker, right?After playing, just leave crying tonight, because you are not suitable for playing in the NBA!You can only play in lower leagues, you know?

Look at your hairstyle, it's really ugly, are you a carrot head?Dead rookie? ? ?
Tianchao Sports also said:
The Lakers actually replaced a water dispenser player?Looking at his stats, it's horrible, why would he do that?Is it a ruse by D'Antoni or is he just at the end of his rope?
Oops~ At this time, a rookie is replaced for leveling, which is unreasonable, unreasonable~ D'Antoni is a bit confused about this ball.

Amway Center.

"Hey~ don't look at me like that~ eyes can't eat people~ you and I know this, don't you?" Tobias Harris teased the Lakers player who was bending over, kneeling and opening his hands with a basketball in his hand Said: "Do you also hate the team? At this time, I want you to face me? I want you to make a fool of yourself? But... this is the life of a player of your level."

"Being blown up by me is your fate tonight."

"Are you ready? Actually, I really don't want to slaughter rookies, but who made you catch up. So." Tobias Harris said after a breakthrough: "I'm sorry, admit it."

Although Covington's defense was passable on this ball, it was still almost there, and the former broke through and threw the ball and scored.

"The defense is good, but if you want to guard me, it's not enough." Tobias Harris was actually a little surprised at the defense of the rookie who didn't even know his name, because to be honest, the ball He scored it, and he thought it was a little bit of luck.why?Because he lost his center of gravity a little before he made the shot just now, and the opponent's defensive confrontation is not bad at all, even very strong.

In fact, Covington's weight and tonnage are not as good as Tobias Harris, but his physical fitness is better and faster. Another important thing is that his core strength is better, coupled with tough defense The mentality made the ball almost defend successfully.But almost, just not yet, the winner of this ball is still Tobias Harris.

Tang Qian walked past Covington and said, "Work harder, it's not enough, it's not enough to change your team status, you still need to do better."

Well, I know, I know, hot, I will.

In the next round, the Magic played a tactic of quickly pulling the inside to a high position. This tactic had worked well against the Lakers who lacked Bosh before, and every time they played the Lakers lost their temper.And as long as No. 29 comes out and leaves the basket, he will pass the ball immediately, allowing the rest of the team to attack the inside and make a lot of impact.

This is not surprising. In the Lakers lineup, Tang Qian is the entire fulcrum of the defensive end. Without his inside line, and without Bosh and Randall, what use can Thackeray and Ryan Kelly be?Isn't it bullshit?The Magic are not a strong team, and their defense is average, but their offensive firepower has never been weak.

Isn't it easy and pleasant to fight Thackeray or Ryan Kelly?

Therefore, once the fourth position is lost, the Lakers have to promote Tang Qian, but the price of raising Tang Qian is that the inside advantage is completely lost, including defensive rebounds and shock at the basket. .This is why Zhang Weiping said that Bosh is very important at the beginning. Not only the offensive end, but also the defensive end can be defended, which is also a very important thing.

The 4th position that can be defended can make Tang Qian feel at ease and stay at the basket most of the time.

Now Covington is here to do this. He needs to complete Bosh's work and defend the Magic's No. 4 position.

Especially the 4 with that kind of long-distance shooting.

Whether this can be controlled well is especially important for the Lakers game.

And who ran out from the inside to catch the ball, if it wasn't No. 12 of the Magic?

He has already scored 2 three-pointers tonight, and this is only the first quarter, and he is going to explode tonight.

Tobias Harris himself feels this way.

But just as he shot the ball, a long black arm poked it on the basketball. Then, the ball changed its flight path, exhausted its strength, and fell directly from midair.

As soon as Ariza jumped up to get the ball first, the Lakers attacked, Tang Qian dunked, and the center of the Magic, Nikola Vucevic, didn't even jump up, and Tang Qian pushed him away .

This guy's explosive power is so powerful, I still feel shocked every time I look at it!
It is mainly on the defensive end. The defensive end must control people, otherwise it will be difficult to overtake if you continue to fight like this.

The state of the entire Lakers team is in a downturn, so the outside line cannot be opened, and Tang Qian is also playing very hard inside. Now if you want him to play one-on-one under the intensity of the regular season, then he really has a lot to do. grasp.But once the opponent becomes double-team and zone defense, Tang Qian can only bite the bullet, and the hit rate is absolutely impressive.

Tang Qian still can't do one person's hard packing and multiple people's defensive control, so he needs his teammates to open up and help him open up the space.Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to play by himself.

After all, the Magic are still an NBA team, and they still have a basic overall defensive ability. The most feared point for players who attack the basket is the double-teaming and joint defense.If you plunge in, all three heads and six arms will be pressed down for you.Therefore, if the rest of the team can't play now, then they can only do some work on the defensive end, so that the opponent can't score well first.Otherwise, how about playing a fart?Just disarm and surrender.

Tianchao Sports Station.

"Or let this rookie defend? Can he do it? The block just now is good but it doesn't mean anything."

"Unreasonable ~ D'Antoni's ball is more like a gamble because the team lacks someone at the 4th position ~ Tobias Harris is also the one who averaged 17+ points per game this year. It's even hotter, it's too risky to defend with a rookie who has only played 34 minutes in the NBA before~"

The home commentators of the Magic are also making fun of it, as if they feel that the rookie just brought in by the Lakers is just self-defeating and humiliating.

But Covington held back. He forced himself to calm down, watching his opponent, ready to slide and move at any time.

This is not some fantasy novel, how could it be possible for the first time to face this kind of ridicule without any fluctuation in heart?

If Covington can suppress his negative emotions, it is already a success.And for this ball, he didn't intend to try to defend the side of the center as Mike D'Antoni said during the timeout, let go of the side of the baseline, and let the opponent enter with a dull head, thereby creating a "defensive trap".This can make Tang Qian's ability to block shots better.

The words are not unreasonable, but... Covington really doesn't intend to do this.

His ball, his game, his night, he must seize the opportunity to prove himself!
At the very least, they also have to fight for a chance to play for the next playing time.

In the Rockets, he was fed up with being a drinking fountain, and basically could only watch the game on the bench, being a so-called "SSSVIP fan" by the outside world.It's been half a season since he came to the Lakers, and he also basically doesn't have much playing time. He has been on the bench for several consecutive seasons. To be honest, he is a little scared to sit.

Therefore, after Tang Qian said those words to him yesterday, he made up his mind at that time. This time, he must play with all his strength and burst out with the greatest defensive energy.You have to know, this is not for the dollar, nor is it for any big contract, it is just for... being able to play in the game.

For this wish, he has to work hard!

Iron bench?Water dispenser?Get the hell out of your balls!I will seize this opportunity!Just this time! ! !
I, Robert Covington, want to make all the people who support me and those who are optimistic about me feel relieved, and feel that they have not mistakenly believed in me!

I want to guard against you, no matter who you are! Whether it is 15+ scoring ability, 17+ scoring ability, or 20+ scoring ability!I will guard you tonight!No, I want to freeze you completely! ! !

I... must win tonight! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

To seize this hard-won opportunity! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Otherwise, next time, who knows when it will be?Who knows, will there be a next time? ? ?

He is still a little guy now, a really super little guy, even the opponents don't know him, the fans don't know him, and the teammates don't necessarily know him very well.Therefore, his roar is the real roar of a small person, representing how eager and urgent a small person wants to seize the opportunity.

Driven by this strong desire, Robert Covington's status has risen, and it is not yet 01:30.

His defensive state kept upgrading like a sprint.

But No. 12 of the opposing Magic team didn't know it. He still wanted to use a breakthrough to hit one, but the basketball was cut away by the former.

The Lakers made a fast break and Jeremy Lin scored a one-handed dunk.

"Okay, well done, keep doing it, beat your opponent, Roberto!" Tang Qian stretched out his finger at Covington as encouragement.

Okay, I must continue, I will use all my defensive energy tonight, and I will completely die at the No. 4 position of the Magic.

On the next ball, Tobias took a slow three-step breakthrough shot, which was successfully interfered by Covington and missed the shot.

On the next ball, Tobias wanted to hit a cut, but was disturbed at the moment of the shot.

So far the first quarter is over, and he continued to attack after playing again in the second quarter. After choosing a three-point shot from the top arc, he was finally disturbed by the Lakers' Covington rushing out. The shot missed, and the Lakers The team caught the defensive rebound.

Another attack, Tobias forced a breakthrough and shot, but missed.

The three threats broke through the basket, and Tang Qian jumped up and blocked it with a palm. Covington caught the ball and ran all over the court, and finally succeeded in a solo dunk.

At this time, Tobias was already a little angry. Looking at the "pineapple head" in front of him, he wished he could take his head off.With anger, Tobias hit another one. After the ball turned... Well, it was only halfway turned before the latter reached out and touched it.

The steal was successful, the Lakers attacked again, Farmar missed a layup, Tang Qian followed up and scored a dunk.

The score difference was tied.

However, the Magic's No. 12 made a turnaround shot. It was said to be a fallback. In fact, the range is still limited, but he can do this in the game, which means that he still has a certain ability.On the offensive end, he is a player who can often serve as the 3rd position, so many offensive skills, he is more inclined to the outside.

But the ball was still defended, even almost blocked!

This made Tobias Harris of the Magic really feel the extraordinaryness of the rookie in front of him. Even if he just broke out tonight, it would be an exaggeration to be able to defend himself like this.

The fans at the scene began to boo a little, which made Tobias even more unstable, and he began to make a lot of singles shots reluctantly.

And this is exactly what Covington of the Lakers wanted. He was afraid that the swingman would stop playing suddenly, and he would be depressed.

Why depressed?If the opponent stops attacking, then his opportunities to perform and show his face in defense are all gone.

How can this work?I'm in good shape tonight!Absolutely can not be wasted like this!so……

"Go on, don't stop playing." As soon as Covington said this, Tobias Harris almost collapsed. He yelled and began to prepare to use the small forward techniques against opponents.Generally speaking, this trick is usually very good and effective, and many well-known insiders in the league have suffered a little loss.But, but, he was still trapped by that Lakers rookie!How can this be?

Hehe~ Nothing is impossible. Tobias Harris can play the technical characteristics of a small forward, so Robert Covington can also defend from the inside to the outside. The switching of this process is smoother than silk .So the No. 12 of the Magic team made another mistake and underestimated the opponent.He almost got a big cap when he made a shot.

At this time, Covington also started to help Tang Qian miss 3-pointers. His three-pointers were relatively powerful tonight, especially when the entire Lakers team felt average, it showed his outstanding and outstanding ability. dazzling.

This guy is really an excellent 3D player, but I don't know if he can keep it going.After all, Tang Qian didn't know anything after September 2015.He is about to begin to officially become a member of this world.

In this game, Tang Qian and Covington's three-pointers were able to withstand the offensive climax of the Magic. Of course, the Magic also intended to counterattack, but it was nothing.Because their inside breakthroughs have been restricted right now, and the rest of the outside Lakers are not vegetarians.So, at the end of the third quarter, the score gradually tilted, and the Lakers began to reverse the overall situation and became an upper hand.

In the end, the Lakers defeated their opponents by four points 108-104. Tang Qian scored a game-high 31 points, 19 rebounds, 5 blocks, 2 assists and 1 turnover.When Bosh was away, he also showed a strong inside deterrence, whether it was the offensive end or the defensive end, it was all the same.What about Robert Covington?The audience scored 12 points, all of which were three-pointers without exception.This is what Tang Qian wanted.

He is a player who needs to have the ability to shoot three-pointers. Since this can open up space, it can also make his scoring relatively easier.Otherwise, if they are all crowded inside, he also feels that one head and two are big.

What's interesting is No. 12 Tobias Harris of the Magic. He made 21 of 7 shots tonight, and he made 5 of them in the first quarter, and he made almost 12 shots.After that, the hit rate plummeted to the point where it was almost unwatchable.Of course, this is not because he suddenly lost his status. If you watch this game, you will know that he was really guarded by this stat.From the perspective of containing No. [-] on the opposite side, this is an extremely successful defensive case.

Almost ready for books and tutorials.

Robert Covington finally proved himself for the first time. He will also attend the team's post-match press conference with Tang Qian tonight.And this is the first time for him.

The Lakers had 40 wins and 10 losses, and their 5-game losing streak was finally ended.
