Chapter 1088 In the first round of the playoffs, the surname is Tang but not Huo

The Lakers' opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the Houston Rockets. The Rockets' record after Howard's injury this season is not very good. After all, Harden is still learning and improving.The ability to lead the team is insufficient, not as strong as the regular season later.The Lakers don't think they are a threat, but there is news that Dwight Howard will return in the playoffs.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Rockets fan area cheered, feeling that their team was finally able to compete with the Los Angeles Lakers.Harden also opened his mouth and said: "Howard and I are the cornerstones of the team. With him, the team will be complete and will not be afraid of anyone's challenge." He had a new nickname for this matter, and he had a big battle with Parsons who left the Rockets at that time, which made countless fans have a "melon-eating crowd" addiction.Now Harden is still immature in the regular season. Of course, until 2018, his playoff mentality was also immature.But the regular season was good.Now, he is still in the learning period, and he is still working hard to consolidate the league's first position.

Hearing this, Tang Qian thought it was funny, and thought to himself: Your rocket team is really against him.Howard's return, do you think this is a good thing?Let me tell you, if he doesn't make a comeback, it will probably be better, the little brother will explode when he meets him.The tradition of Chinese super centers, eating, sleeping and playing World of Warcraft.Alas, Rockets, you must be cool off.

Howard didn't come back, you still have 1-2 wins, the hope of resisting the resistance, now... definitely swept.

Definitely without a doubt.

So Tang Qian also said: The Rockets will never win us, whether they have Howard or not, for us, it is actually the same.Even, I think the Rockets may be a little more difficult to deal with without Howard.

Speaking of which, Harden is okay, and he almost didn't make Howard so angry that he choked on his meal. This trash talk is really enough!Enough to bury people!If he really didn't play well, wouldn't this statement be confirmed?The Oriental!Still so annoying!I really want to punch his stinky mouth to burst!

Howard is really fed up with this Easterner. Since he competed with the Lakers and the latter team, he has been "injured" and "unlucky".Look, he was obviously the starting center of the Lakers in the 12-13 season, but in the All-Star Game he was going to be the latter's substitute!This degree of aggrieved, it is estimated that only Shaquille O'Neill back then was Yao Ming's substitute, but at least O'Neill and Yao Ming are not players on the same team.So the relationship between him and Tang Qian's all-star deputy is obviously more awkward.Secondly, look, he is the starting center of a team, No. 13 in the league, but he lost both the rebounding leader and blocked shots in the team.Therefore, such a comparison, it seems that he is "high salary and low ability", doesn't it?Coupled with the plot of being beaten by all kinds of fat... Uh, let's not mention this, the last thing Howard wants to recall is this episode.Well, I thought I would be the last to leave the Lakers, so I could rip off my old club, but unexpectedly... Nima, the Lakers won the championship without myself in the 14-[-] season? ? ?Is there anything more unlucky than this? ? ?

It's fine if I don't get a ring, and I will be ridiculed endlessly by the Lakers fans, saying that it was because of him that he played so badly in the 12-13 season that Kobe would break his Achilles tendon.You see, without you, I won the championship immediately, right?This, this, this, Howard was really depressed to death during the offseason of that season, and he was also wronged in his heart. How did I know that Kobe would suddenly be so fierce next season?If he had been this aggressive in the 12-13 season, the team wouldn't have won the first round.This is the logic of robbers. Without Kobe, he led the team. What happened?The original time and space were swept directly, and this time and space also relied on Tang Qian's explosion to drag the Spurs to the seventh game.Otherwise, the result is estimated to be swept away.

And then the Eastern center didn't know what was wrong, he got excited when he saw him, and pressed himself to fight every time, this is really a ghost.Regardless of whether I was in a good state or a bad state that day, I was suppressed and beaten.This is simply enough to suffocate people to the point of bursting.It's completely the feeling of natural enemy nemesis.

So Howard is really about to form a "demon" in his heart, and he will feel guilty when he sees the Lakers' number 29.

To break this "psychological shadow", there is no other way but to overwhelm the opponent once.

Otherwise, it will only make this "psychological shadow" bigger and bigger and deeper.

It's a pity that his comeback this time is destined to be another tragedy.

Tang Qian eats, sleeps, and fights World of Warcraft. He is ready and waiting for him.

On April 2015, 4, US time, the playoffs officially started. On the first day, there were Wizards VS Raptors, Warriors VS Mavericks, Bucks VS Bulls, Lakers VS Rockets.The game between the Wizards and the Raptors ended first. It’s funny to say that the Raptors were obviously the team with a higher ranking and a better record, but they lost in the first game. The Wizards won the game 18-93. Victory over the Torontonians, who have home-court advantage.This game is actually a veritable iron fight, and neither team's shooting percentage exceeds 86%.The Wizards are 4%, what about the Raptors?Worse, 3% to 9%.The Wizards missed a total of 3 shots in this game, yes, you read that right, they missed 8 shots! 60 of 60 shots!The three-point shooting percentage is also very poor, only 99%, and even the free throw percentage is only 39%.So how did they win?And then again, this is still an overtime situation.Only 28.6 or 6 points in overtime is enough.The reason is that the Raptors are better.

He made 29 of 6 three-pointers and only made 20.7% of his shots. Then it is very important that he rebounds, rebounds and rebounds. The important thing is said three times, the rebounds are too poor.Just to put it bluntly, the player with the most rebounds in the Raptors is actually a perimeter player DeMar DeRozan... on the other side?The audience scored 61 rebounds!Completely blast the Raptors!In addition, Pierce scored 100 key points with 5% shooting in overtime and took away the game.Oh, let me just say that the entire Raptors scored only 4 points in overtime, not as much as Pierce alone.So it was a reasonable thing to lose.

If you win, that's weird.

The second game ended with the Bucks against the Chicago Bulls. There was no suspense in this game. The Bulls easily killed the former, with a score advantage of 12 points and a good start to the series.Rose scored 33 points in this game, and his shooting percentage reached more than 6%. Coupled with Gasol's overwhelming inside, 15+13+2 data, the Bulls won.

The two games in the East are over, and the two games in the West, that is, the two games in California, are also in progress.

The Warriors took the lead, and they established a dominant advantage almost from the beginning, scoring a high-energy 60 points in the first half!All of a sudden, the game lost its suspense ahead of time.Leading the Mavericks by 20 points at halftime.Although Nuo Tianwang was still stable for the Mavericks, scoring 12 points in the first half with a super shooting percentage, but he was unable to recover. 8% of the shooting percentages could not save the team.In the second half, Dallas's basket was crazily "splashed". The Golden State Warriors scored another 55 points in the third and fourth quarters, taking the Dallas Mavericks by a total of 115 points.Even if Nuo Tianwang scored 7 points with a shooting percentage of 1% in this game, it was useless.

The opponent's offensive power is too strong, and it also has the ability to suppress running and bombing. The team's offense and defense are integrated. This ability is too tyrannical.

It is simply the perfect adaptor for the small ball era.

There is almost no team that can achieve this level in history that is not the seed of the season.

The favorite to win the championship.

Curry scored 24 points, 11 assists and 2 rebounds in this game, and won the best player in the game.

The last game is the Lakers VS Rockets.Since this game was broadcast on TNT, it was all about warming up and teasing the Rockets from the beginning.For example, Barkley said: It depends on whether ESPN dares to rank Hot outside the season's strongest center five after this round of the series.The first center Howard?Tonight will see if he can help the pundits at ESPN.

I predict that the Lakers will sweep their opponents 4-0 and advance to the Western Conference semifinals.

Kenny Smith said: According to this season's regular season record, the Lakers are indeed dominant. This is no problem, and I think even if Howard comes back, he will not be able to resist the No. 29 of the Lakers.My prediction is a 4-1 promotion.

Reggie Miller agreed with Kenny Smith. He also chose the Lakers to win and eventually advanced 4-1.

Only O'Neal, although he also chose the Lakers to advance, but he chose 4-3 and barely advanced, because he believes that the Rockets' "Magic Combination" will show their power in the playoffs, and the regular season games are simply not enough. What kind of.He used himself as an example. He was basically two "sharks" in the regular season and playoffs.This was answered by Barkley and mocked: Without Kobe, you can play like this in the regular season?The team can't make it to the playoffs at all, right?If I had Kobe back then, I would have won the championship long ago.

O’Neill was very dissatisfied, of course it wasn’t about Kobe, because in the original time and space after Kobe’s five championships, he didn’t make any fuss anymore. The two-person face-to-face interview program of the 2018 All-Star Game said in front of Kobe, you have one more than me Ring, you are awesome.The attitude has long been very different from before.This time and space?Needless to say, Kobe has 6 rings in hand, and it is even more impossible for him to make fun of himself and spray No. 24.But he is not going to let Charles Barkley go: It's useless to have Kobe. Your opponent was Michael's Bulls dynasty. Do you think you can survive?
This is tantamount to killing two birds with one stone, using Jordan to overwhelm Barkley and using Jordan to overwhelm Kobe.

But basically they all agree that the Lakers are set to advance.

Because the Lakers are a top team, they naturally have home court advantage, and Game [-] will be at the Staples Center.Not much else to say, as soon as Howard entered the Staples Center, he was booed hugely, with all kinds of tricks.What are you a big softie, you guys who don't have any kind are all light, more are traitors, scumbags, with you, the Lakers can't win the championship and other heart-warming words.But there is no way around this. The fans in the original space-time Staples Center treated Howard like this. It took several seasons to subside. He slapped the Lakers hard, so that the Lakers didn't even have time to reinforce last season.

Kupchak was also questioned about his business ability because of this matter.

Howard walked in with a stern face. Yi Jianlian was still too young to understand the specific grievances between the Lakers and Howard, or the grievances between the Lakers No. 29 and Howard, so he still wanted to high-five the former before the game.At this time, Thackeray next to him pulled him down and said: "Yi, don't go over there and give Howard a high five. In our Los Angeles, anyone can high five, just don't give him a high five. He is now a member of the Lakers. Public Enemy of the People, don’t do this kind of thing.” Yi Jianlian was taken aback, and said, “It’s so serious? It’s not enough, is it? It’s just competition etiquette.”

"You're stupid, haven't you seen how Tang sees him? Let me tell you, the player Tang dislikes the most in the entire league is the man named Dwight Howard in front of you. I witnessed it with my own eyes last season. The 'team war' between the two of them. Listen to me, treat this guy with cold eyes and contempt. The rest will be taken care of."

"You are here, Mr. Warcraft." Tang Qian became angry when he saw Howard, and the grievances had long since been resolved, so there was nothing to be polite to him: "How do you want to be abused by me tonight?" ? Light abuse? Medium abuse? Or tyranny? You choose one."

"I choose your XXX!!!" Howard was also furious when he saw Tang Qian: "You are so arrogant, the match hasn't started yet, you are such a loser, I want to see if you will be killed by yourself later!" Swollen face!!!" Tang Qian said with a sneer: "It's hard to say to others, but to you, I can definitely win 100%! There will be no accident!"

Idiot~ Pretend to me every day~ Sooner or later, I'm going to fuck you to death, so that you can't even speak bullshit! ! !
Of course Howard said this in his heart, and he didn't have the guts to say it face to face.

The scenes from 2 years ago are still fresh in his memory.

This oriental man is a violent element, his fists and kicks are beyond the charts!Going to fight him by yourself is unilaterally looking for a fight!

So he could only snort coldly, then turned his head and walked to the middle circle of the scrum.

The Lakers' lineup for this game is: Tang Qian + Bosh + Butler + Ariza + Jeremy Lin, and they have almost recovered the strongest lineup that the team can form this season.The Rockets are Harden + Terrence Jones + Jason Terry + Josh Smith + Dwight Howard.Because the Rockets are still coached by the head coach McHale, there are basically no tactics in the playoffs. Apart from simple pick-and-rolls, it is just a few singles tactics by the stars.This strategy was notoriously "beautiful" in the hearts of the Rockets fans at the time, no worse than the future "Director Lu" of the Cavaliers.

Howard obviously lost weight during the injury, which may be the doctor's suggestion or his own meaning.After all, the sudden red light on his body also reminded him that his body couldn't bear the tonnage of 290+ pounds while maintaining his athletic ability.More than one season is the limit.But now, once he loses weight, the strength of last season no longer exists.

Without the absolute advantage of strength and tonnage, the explosive power has also declined, which is tantamount to a significant decline in the offensive end.The high explosion in the playoffs last year is probably his swan song.The body no longer has crushing skills and has not improved at the same time. For Dwight Howard, the low-level killer will always only become a dreamlike dream.

It's fine to lose the scrimmage, but Tang Qian defended the first inside back and lost the ball directly, and it ended in a mistake.

Now he only has about 280 pounds left, and he has lost more than ten pounds in one breath. This is not bad for the light tonnage, but it is a dream for Tang Qian, who is already 291 pounds.His back kicking power has always been very poor, basically at the F level, but with such a large strength and tonnage, many times he can't even beat a blue-collar with a slightly stable chassis. The existence that makes Howard deflate and eat dirt.Howard's back-up strength is too poor and the rhythm is stiff, coupled with poor technical connection, so this is the number one center in the history of the NBA, but the back-up is the last player in the league among players with more than 200 post-up singles. One efficiency exists!
This is estimated to be an alternative record that has never been seen before.

Howard attacked with the ball for the second time in this quarter, and it was still with his back. This made Tang Qian couldn't help laughing. Sometimes he couldn't help laughing when he watched the former make a crappy back-up movement: "Hey, you are also called Doing back-up singles? Your back-up technique was given to you by your math teacher, right? It’s really a lady, it’s so ugly." "Shut up! Watch how I get in! You bastard..." Howard said Before he could finish speaking, Tang Qian slapped him with a big hat and said, "It's been so many years, haven't you learned to be good? Mr. Warcraft, I know you have a dream of a low-level killer, but that's really just a dream." dream."

"You'll never be able to."

"Trust me, stop doing this unrealistic daydream, okay?"

"Don't talk nonsense! I just came back and I'm still looking for the game status. When I find the status, it will be your unlucky moment! Dongfang Hot!" Howard is really obsessed, no wonder he finally lost all trust in the Rockets , because everyone found out in the end, he is like Stan Van Gundy said, the offensive ceiling is limited.The highest is that high.

And after the decline in physical fitness and the inability to eat large tonnages, the offensive end has become more and more blue-collar, which has become excessive and inevitable.

It's just that Howard himself hasn't woken up, or he doesn't want to wake up. He always hypnotizes himself, even to the point of a sick heart.This season is fine, but next season, he will completely lose his status as the dual-core cornerstone of the "Modern Group".The offensive role will be further reduced.Will be reaching his lowest point outside of his rookie season.But at this time he was still complaining, thinking that the Rockets didn't trust him and deliberately isolated himself and didn't give him the right to shoot.He didn't really wake up until he went to Atlanta. It turned out that he really didn't have the life to be a low-level killer.

After losing his superhuman physical fitness, it is impossible to average 20+ points per game. Degradation into a blue-collar team has become an inevitable result.Ironically, that's exactly where he looked down on No. 29 for the Lakers.

It's just a blue-collar worker, how can he be compared with himself.As a result, he himself will soon become a blue-collar worker, and he will never return.In fact, starting from next season, no media has ranked him as the No. [-] center. He Dwight Howard has completely become the history chapter of the No. [-] center.

To put it more bluntly, he is in the past tense and has passed away.

And the new No. [-] C in the league, the real No. [-] center in the league, is ready to occupy this position for a long time.
This round of the series happened to be the series in which he really gagged everyone.

From the start of this round of the series, most people believed that the league's number one center had to be completely replaced.

So far, the first C is named Tang instead of Huo.
