Chapter 1101 In the name of free throws, destroy you
There are still about 5 minutes before the end of the game. At this time, in order to prevent the team from being swept, and for his position as the head coach, McHale chose a trick that he thought was relatively insidious.That is the "cut Tang tactics".He has studied Tang Qian's free throws in the playoffs, and they are very poor.If the latter's free throws in the regular season are still in the early 6s, which is not satisfactory, then the free throws on the 29th in the playoffs cannot be watched.Often a series is only about 2% to 3%.At its worst, it was as low as just over 1%.So looking at it this way, chopping Tang was the last method he could use.

Didn't use it before, isn't it because the team also has a character who can be cut by the opponent.

If Howard had made the free throw on time, he would have swung his hand and slashed at Tang Qian.

Dongfang Hot, don't blame me, I don't want the game to be swept away, who made your free throws worse than Howard in the playoffs?If you don't chop you, who will you chop?The big deal is to stay on the field and cut it!
McHale replaced it with a bench drinking fountain, and his purpose was also very sad, which was to foul.

Nothing else.

And if this person, Tang Qian, has a few more years of memory, he will know that although he is miserable now and his playing time is extremely low, he has great future potential.He is Clint Capela, who averaged only 7.3 minutes per game this season and averaged 2+3 per game.Capella?He is a rookie selected by the Rockets this year, and he is a 208CM big man.But he doesn't get the attention of current Rockets coach Kevin McHale.But in the future, he will have a famous nickname, "Cake King Capella".When it comes to this title, almost everyone in the country knows it.

But that's the future, not the present, and Harden can't be developed until he transforms from a pure shooting guard to a playmaker.So now, he is an "unlucky cannon fodder" used to act as human fouls.Capela actually has a lot of resentment in his heart, but now, what can he do?It can only be that people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Tang Qian was fouled by the opponent without the ball as soon as he came up. He went to the free throw line and made 2 of 0 free throws. This is rare for him tonight.

Unlucky, Tang Qian cursed secretly, because he is no longer affected by the "playoff demon", so the game state and free throw state will no longer be subject to the previous situation of random landslides.In this way, his free throws have actually returned to the best he can do now.That is 61.3%.It doesn't look good, but if you want to cut him, you will kill yourself.Because the famous Tim Duncan has one season in his career that is lower than this number, and several seasons are almost the same as this number.Who did you see hacking him?As strong as James, he has only made more than 6% of free throws in two seasons in his career.Who will chop him up? Only when it is less than 6% can it be worth cutting, and if it is less than 5%, it can be used wildly.

For example, who killed Howard in the first few years?Nearly 6% of the hit rate is frequent slashing and killing, which is self-defeating.

But in the 11-12 season, his free throw percentage suddenly dropped by 10 percentage points, let's look again.He began to frequently appear among the objects being chopped.Tang Qian used to have an average free throw percentage of only about 3% due to "demons".No matter how bad luck is, it is not difficult to fine more than 1%.Because a 3% free throw percentage is just an ability value and a probability value, it doesn't mean that you can definitely make this free throw percentage.

A 3% free throw percentage can indeed be slashed crazily. After all, luck hit the unlucky moment on the 29th. A 1-2% free throw percentage can allow the team to quickly chase points when necessary.That time was also the time when D'Antoni had the most headache.

When this problem was first discovered, it was Popovich of the Spurs. He discovered that Tang Qian's playoff ability state would have great fluctuations and downturns compared with the regular season.Especially the free throw end, the most obvious, so he made a "tactical cut" move.This later became a big "magic weapon" for many teams to play against the Lakers in the playoffs.

In the regular season, some people also wanted to cut, but in the end they found that doing so was miserable.Because the Lakers' No. 29 free throws in the regular season far exceed the playoffs, and they are very stable, and it is not easy to have a sharp cliff.

Some expert reporters have also analyzed this data, claiming that it is caused by Tang Qian's psychological effects. His psychological endurance in the playoffs is far worse than in the regular season, so there is such a big watershed.Similar to how Howard often made more than 8% of his free throws during training (this is true), but on the court, he just couldn't do anything.This is also the influence of psychological factors.

If it weren't for his strength, he wouldn't be able to punish at a better level.

So at this time in the playoffs, McHale was going to make a "smuggle", and the Lakers No. 29 really made 2 of 0 free throws at the beginning.This also strengthened his determination to "cut Tang" tonight.The Rockets attacked, and Harden finally scored one of the few three-pointers tonight, as if everything was developing in the direction McHale expected.

The Lakers sent the baseline ball, and then... Tang Qian was fouled by Capela without the ball and sent to Houston's free throw line.

This made D'Antoni furious, and he stared at McHale on the other end, but the latter didn't care.

Okay, you bastard, you're playing tricks on me, aren't you?Don't forget, in your team, there is also a Dwight Howard who is a mess with free throws.Big deal, I'll play with you and see who can beat who!

Tang Qian made 2 of 1 free throws this time, and still helped the Lakers get 1 point.

The Rockets attacked, Harden made another 3-pointer and missed, the Lakers got a high rebound, but continued to whistle.

The bottom line referee also applauded the Rockets in his heart: Okay, that's it, let him lose face at the free throw line.It'd be better if the situation was reversed because of his shitty free throw.Then after the game, a group of people will scold him to death.

Sure enough, Tang Qian continued to the free throw line.

This annoyed D'Antoni, and D'Antoni directly replaced Hinrich and asked him to play exactly the same role as the opposite Capela.Hinrich is now completely aging, and his injuries are extremely eroded, so he doesn't have any complaints.

This scene made "Magic" Johnson also tweeted: Ugly tactics!Can't you play basketball well?But this is a "ass decides head" tweet, so not many people take it seriously. "Magic" Johnson was originally a hardcore Lakers, and now he is in a high position, so tweeting like this is just a kind of "unilateral dissatisfaction of the Lakers".

Scratch~ But Tang Qian made 2 of 2 free throws this time, which also made D'Antoni call for good luck. After all, he knew how messy and unreliable Tang Qian's free throws in the playoffs were.In the past few years, the Lakers' playoffs have been caused by this problem, which made him inexplicably "liver tremble" every time he saw the Lakers stand on the free throw line on the 29th.

McHale also secretly scolded Tang Qian for his luck, but when he wanted the Rockets to continue the three-point attack, the opponent also started to blow the whistle.The target this time is not Tang Qian, but the No. 12 of the Rockets, Dwight Howard.

Damn D'Antoni, he confronted me so quickly, hum, but don't forget, Dwight's free throw playoffs are still better than your Dongfang Hot.Otherwise, do you think I'm stupid?Why don't you replace him?Howard made 2 of 1 free throws from the free throw line, the Lakers attacked, beep, whistle, Tang Qian continued to make free throws.

This made the broadcast media in the United States couldn't help it, complaining that this kind of game had turned into an ugly free throw shootout, which seemed both funny and ridiculous.That's true, but it's also within the rules, isn't it?Tang Qian made 2 of 1 free throws from the free throw line.Howard turned around and continued to make free throws.It seems that before the game entered the last 2 minutes, both sides were determined to play like this, so grudge.Howard made 2 of 1 free throws.Tang Qian continued on.

Tang Qian made 2 free throws, which made D'Antoni couldn't help but squeeze his fists. At the same time, he also picked the bench at the other end as a demonstration.This action was aimed at the Rockets coach McHale.McHale was patient, waiting to see Howard get to the free throw line.

As a result, Howard made 2 of 0 free throws and did not save him face.

Tang Qian went to the free throw line again, swiped, and under D'Antoni's prayer, he made 2 of 2 free throws again, which made the latter smile. He started laughing at McHale, meaning did you see it, it deserves it Well, let's eat it, are you still playing?McHale's complexion suddenly fell, but he did not admit defeat. He believed very much in the data analysis in his hand, and it was impossible to make mistakes.

It's just the shit luck of that Lakers No. 29.He will die later.Don't be provoked by the opposing coach.D'Antoni must be more nervous than me. It is impossible for him not to know the normal level of free throws in the playoffs on the 29th.

However, tonight Tang Qian is obviously not the "normal level" that McHale and D'Antoni thought. He made 2 of 1 free throws, but he still didn't make 2 of 0 free throws that lowered morale the most.Howard went up again and made 2 of 1 free throws, which was considered a tie.After you sing, I will appear on stage, and it is Tang Qian's turn to continue.The Rockets' on-site interference suddenly increased. All kinds of fans' trash talk, jamming sticks and other things began to catapult behind the basket, but Tang Qian ignored it and still made the first free throw steadily. .

Can this ball still be scored?McHale was also a little nervous, staring at the basket, and finally, there was a swipe, which made him stunned.

That's not counting, Tang Qian immediately made another free throw and made 2 of 2 free throws again.

It seems that his touch tonight is not bad.

TNND~6% of the free throws are different in the playoffs. In the past, the free throws of more than 3% would be pissed off by myself.Now, Feng Shui has taken turns, and it has really come to my house.Hahaha, the free throw shootout is still with Howard.Hey, monster, monster, why are you so unlucky and miserable?Your family's Kevin McHale is cheating on you, do you know?
Big hole you ah.

Howard felt a lot of pressure, because now Tang Qian obviously feels good or is lucky, he must also make free throws, otherwise, McHale will shoot himself in the foot instead.While waiting for his free throws, the Toyota Center was nearly silent.Nobody bothers their own home players to make free throws.But the quieter he was, the more he felt the pressure on his free throws, and the muscles in his body were less able to listen to his control and commands.

Bang~ Bang~
2 missed free throws, which caused a burst of "oh~on~" sounds in the Rockets' home court.

Howard's mentality began to change. Tang Qian smiled when he saw this, and said with a little elation: "You know, I can kill you with free throws in the playoffs, which really makes me feel so good. . " This is not a trash talk made up by Tang Qian to deliberately hurt people.It was his real psychological feeling now.Free throws in the playoffs, did he dare to think about this kind of thing a few years ago?At that time in the playoffs, he was most afraid of being chopped and forced to the free throw line.

Fortunately, everything is different now. He actually had a chance to end the battle with a free throw. This feeling is so sour.

Even better than scoring 30-40 points and 30-40 rebounds in the playoffs.

This is a real kind of great growth and great progress.

At this time, "Magic" Johnson posted again, and he began to change his previous tone: If it is a free throw comparison with the Rockets, then I think it is still possible. Haha~ The accompanying picture is a smirk expression.

Tang Qian made 2 of 1 free throws, and Howard went up again. This time is about to enter the last 2 minutes. At this time, off-ball fouls will no longer be allowed. Forcible corrections will cost a lot.Howard went on again, seeing the home fans in the front row and even some people closing their eyes in fear, he felt more nervous in his heart, and then the first free throw, bang~, the second free throw... Maybe it was too much pressure. An air ball was thrown out.

This made Tang Qian laugh and walked to the Rockets' free throw line: "Let me represent free throws tonight and destroy you."

"Houston, your 14-15 season is over."

Swipe~swipe~2 free throws and 2 free throws, which completely lost the suspense of this game. McHale also looked at the field in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart now.This scene was later photographed by interested reporters, and it was completely different from the elation on the face of Mike D'Antoni of the Lakers on the other end.

No one thought that the game would end like this, in such a dramatic way.

It is estimated that this game will be discussed and talked about for a long time.

If this is in China, it will definitely be a big "storytelling", watching Zijin Tang Qian's free throw fight to destroy the Rocket Beast.

Tang Qian was replaced before the end of the game, because the overall situation is set, the Rockets can't catch up again, unless there is a "McGrady moment", that's about the same.Before Tang Qian left the field, he still didn't forget to say to the bottom line referee behind him: "Okay, now you can judge as you like, blow the whistle, send me off, I don't care anymore, hahahaha~" Tang Qian was obviously in a good mood, The baseline referee was in a bad mood.He really wanted "zero tolerance", but it was impossible.

The regular season is okay, but the playoffs are absolutely not allowed. It is not allowed to expel the main stars with partial whistle and zero tolerance.

Besides, the number 29 is right now, the overall situation has been decided, so what's the point of bragging about it?
Shi.t~ I will find it sooner or later~ Damn Dongfang Center~Damn Dongfang Kid~
Dip ~ As the final bell rang, the Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets 111-105 with 6 points, a big score of 4-0, swept their opponents, and advanced to the next round.

PS: It will explode tomorrow~
