Chapter 1038 I want to recommend someone (add to ~)

In the end, Tang Qian scored 17 points, 28 blocks, 20 rebounds and 2 assists in this game, but AMVP still gave the Thunder Zero who scored 41 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 1 block in this game. No. Russell Westbrook.This is not surprising. Tang Qian got it last year. If he gets it again this year, he will be with Westbrook. Unfortunately, this time AMVP and Tang Qian have no chance, and it belongs to Russell Westbrook alone.

Of course, Westbrook's stats are definitely worthy of tonight's AMVP, it's just a pity on Tang Qian's side.

After Westbrook won the first MVP trophy in his life, he hugged Tang Qian hard. After all, he knew very well that without the help of the No. 29 big man of the Lakers, he would never get the AMVP tonight .At least he thought so.

Apart from Westbrook's playing style, his personality is still relatively straightforward, without so many secrets.

And Tang Qian didn't know that from then on, the seeds of Westbrook's big brush began to be completely planted after today's game.Thunder Team No. 0's desire to collect data was seduced by the former...it was out of control.

Cole humorously praised Westbrook and Tang Qian after the game, claiming that if they are willing to come to the Golden State Warriors, he can give them both the head coaching position.This is of course a joking statement, but Cole is in this style, and he prefers to "skin" or "skin a few times" when speaking.Warriors players are basically used to it.

Furthermore, they turned the Warriors into the absolute king of the league as soon as they came, and the season slogan was directly changed to win the championship... No Warriors player would not understand the gap in this.But everything still needs to be tested in the playoffs. When Mark Jackson led the team, the regular season was actually passable, but once it entered the playoffs, it immediately languished, and even became another team that was completely unknown.

Everything depends on the grades.

Of course, Cole is also very confident in his abilities.

He came to coach, he went to the sea himself, not just to be an ordinary head coach, his goal, or ambition is more suitable... just to challenge the status of the best coach in NBA history.

At least, he must also be among the presidents in the head coaching world.

Now it seems that Cole is a crazy rookie coach who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, but in the original time and space, few people would think so.This guy's locker room control and on-court tactical settings are intimately combined. Just because of this, he is qualified to be one of the strongest active players in the NBA.

Not to mention his creation of a pure shooter as the team's core system, which can be said to be an unprecedented pioneering work.

From this point of view, Cole has pride and arrogance in his heart, and it is not out of thin air. The team is built with a pure outside shooter, which is unique in history.He broke certain conventions, and for this, he deserves to be remembered by history.

The days of rest passed quickly. After these few days, the team's fatigue from the previous period has also eased a lot, but after that, there will be no such easy days.Until the playoffs win or be eliminated, it will be an increasingly tight time.

Bosh is still receiving blood-thinning treatment, the date of his comeback is undecided, and Randall has also undergone surgery. If Tang Qian hadn't persuaded the management to sign Robert Covington with a basic salary for four years, then they would have Will be in the 4th position, being beaten up every time, and blown up every time.The appearance of Covington has greatly made up for this problem. At least in terms of defense, not only did he not make the Lakers' overall defense weaker, but it became stronger than before.

But the score is not as good as Bosh, and there is no way to do this. After all, he is only a player with a basic salary. Can you ask for more?
During this period of time in China, it is also the winter vacation and the Spring Festival, but Tang Qian has no way to go back, which makes Tang's mother can't help "spitting out" on the phone, claiming that she sees Tang Qian on TV more times than real people many.Uh, there is nothing wrong with it. Ever since Tang Qian joined the NBA, Tianchao Sports has become a 24-hour and almost 1-hour TV channel in Tang Qian's home.This period of time happened to be the All-Star Weekend in the United States, and AND[-]'s commercials were crazy, so what Tang's mother said was not groundless.

After comforting his mother on the phone, Tang Qian began to prepare for the second half of the competition.

But in the first game after the All-Star Weekend, the Lakers lost inexplicably. In this game, the opponent played an unexpected tactic, similar to "Tian Ji's horse racing". Brook Lopez, who had just returned from injury, was placed in the Played the 4th position on the bench.In this way, when Covington was away, the Lakers' No. 4 position was completely blown away by Lopez.At this time, it is too late to replace Covington, because the opponent's touch is opened up, and secondly, Lopez's offensive end is quite powerful and solid.This is completely different from his defensive rebounding. Except for the first year of his career, he basically averaged close to 20 points per game, which is enough to prove that he is very stable and powerful on the offensive end.

Besides, on the offensive end, he is not a space-type insider or an athletic insider who is popular now. He is a real low-post offensive No. 5 after Yao Ming.Solid basic skills + 7-foot body, he wants to play back, at least Covington is very difficult to defend.

As a substitute, Lopez scored 28 points in this game. His outstanding performance disrupted the Lakers' defense. In the end, the Lakers lost the game 105-114. The 4-game winning streak was ended, and the regular season record became 43 wins and 11 losses.However, the Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics, who had a messy record, two days later.The Celtics traded away the core of the last 2 champion this season. He went to Rondo of the Mavericks.

In this way, Boston played completely without rules, and the Lakers scored 129 points. In the end, they scored 18 points and took the game away with a big score. 44 wins and 11 losses.But in the next game, the Lakers lost again, and they lost to the Utah Jazz at Plateau. 44 wins and 12 losses, 1 losing streak, the ball that was finally won, turned into a negative number again.

Two days later, they lost another 2 points to the Bucks! 2 wins and 44 losses, 13 consecutive losses!From the end of the All-Star weekend to the present, the Lakers have a record of 2 win and 1 losses.Tang Qian's latest MVP ranking also dropped from the top three to the top six.

His record during this period was too poor, and his statistics might be good, but it wasn't enough.

Can't win the game just by brushing the data?What's the point?
After losing to the Bucks, the entire Lakers team was left behind. Tang Qian needs to sort out and sort out the poor record during this period, which is always the reason for the loss.In the end, after combining and analyzing multiple data and combinations, Tang Qian and the others also discovered some problems that they hadn't noticed before.For example, the place where the team loses the most points is the substitute time for the 4th position.

D'Antoni glanced at this problem, but he didn't come up with a solution or solution in his mind.

After all, the Lakers' No. 4 position can be regarded as a position that has declined seriously. Even if a Robert Covington is added, it will only be temporarily topped, so that it will not be blown up every game.It's a pity that no matter how strong Covington is, he is still alone. In fact, removing last year's bullshit "34-minute rookie season", this season is his real league debut.So there are many things that he still needs to learn and adapt to.For example, if you have this physical fitness, he has not been able to adjust and distribute it well. A game is at most 27 to 28 minutes.This shows that Covington's physical fitness is an imminent issue.In addition, his defensive mode has been gradually studied and targeted by people, so when it comes to defending, he will have a lot of trouble from the front.

If he can't break through this "rookie wall", he will be beaten back to his original shape soon.

In this way, there is still a big hidden danger in the 4th position. Before the free market is completely closed, it must be strengthened a little bit. Maybe it is better than nothing, but it is always better than watching nothing.At this time, the news came that the Cavaliers had signed Carlos Boozer. He joined the Cleveland Cavaliers with a basic salary of one year veteran.When he joined, Boozer was a little sarcastic about his former club, the Los Angeles Lakers.He said that he would make the team that looked down on him regret it in the playoffs.

Bonnie Laughlin felt a little depressed. Anyway, they gave up Boozer on their own initiative, and the latter's scoring ability has always been what the Lakers wanted.Besides, it's just the basic salary, and it's not a loss to sign it. Giving it to the Cavaliers is tantamount to changing directions to improve their scoring ability.

So 48 hours before the free market was about to close, there were changes inside the Lakers.

The above gave Tang Qian a list of No. 4 positions in the free market, and wanted him to choose it as a candidate for the absence of Bosh and Randall.But unexpectedly, Tang Qian looked along the way, and there was no one he liked.That's right, the big fish has already been settled in the offseason, so if you go looking for it at this time, how can you find anything good?It's all mediocre and can't be more mediocre.It doesn't make much sense to sign in, but it is a waste of the team's salary cap.

……

It didn't take long, and the budget came down to give 200-300 million at most for a year. There is no need for more. After all, it is a super cap team. Spending money generously does not mean that you don't watch it at all.And for the low price of 200 million to 300 million, those who are a little bit better think too much of themselves and don't bother to pay attention to you.So it’s not really easy to find.

Besides, for this sake, there are really few free agents at the 4th position. In this roster, most of them are European players, American players and players in the NBDL.

Tang Qian took the No. 4 roster of the free market and thought about it for a long time. He thought it was a simple waste of brain cells, but unexpectedly, he really thought of someone in his mind.

But, does he still have the spirit?This is not ten years ago.

But when there is no one in the free market and the funds are not abundant, this idea is not completely whimsical and not feasible.Moreover, let alone 200 to 300 million, the basic salary is probably acceptable to him.

As long as it is typed out for him, Tang Qian thinks that this is a great thing.

He was not suitable for this league before, what about now?What about the league now that small ball is all the rage?
As an ultra-cheap contract, it can't be played out, and no one will say anything.

Or, give him a chance?A chance to prove yourself at least once?This is good for the future...isn't it?
Thinking of this, Tang Qian put down the useless No. 4 roster, opened the mobile phone address book, and then clicked on a mobile phone number.Take a closer look at this call, who is it if it's not Lakers deputy general manager Bonnie Laughlin?

After the call was connected, Tang Qian took a breath, and then said: "Hello ma'am, I have an idea about the team's temporary reinforcement candidate for the 4th position, and I want to recommend someone."

PS: Thank you that I am the top ten big, step-by-step suit big, Buzi big, Fengshenglong big, former Zheng Yi handsome big big monthly ticket, Xiaozi thank you all~ Add more~ Who will it be?Everyone can guess.
