Chapter 1236 Are You Dreaming?

Tang Qian is really very angry, and he has been lingering recently, because 5 people have been down, 3 starters and 2 substitutes. Now the Lakers' lineup is ordinary enough.Center Tang Qian + power forward Randall + small forward Ariza + shooting guard Josh Smith + point guard Farmar.That's all that can be used, and the rest must be ensured to make up the number of substitutes.The lineup for the Kings is DeMarcus Cousins ​​+ Rudy Gay + Quincy Asch + Ben McLemore + Darren Collison.

As far as the Kings' record is still in the West, Tang Qian directly believes that they have no hope of entering the playoffs this season.

Note that there is none at all.

Cousins' temper is notoriously hot, and it's nothing to scold the referee for expulsion. In Yuanshikong, he was pissed off in a game, and he went directly to the Warriors' locker room to "beat up" Durant.And it's still the kind of one who is alone.In a way, he is really "savage".Tang Qian didn't dislike him before, and felt that there was nothing wrong with being passionate. The current NBA league is too obedient, and it doesn't make much sense.This guy doesn't wear a mask, which is quite interesting.

However, there is a problem, you can't take the initiative to trouble me.

For example, this time Cousins ​​complained about the All-Star voting and his own votes, and he mentioned it repeatedly, which made Tang Qian "very unhappy".This is not hatred, but as the number one center in the league, he must stand up and teach a lesson to this opponent who dares to "mock" him like this.

Otherwise, do you really think that you are so powerful?
Cousins' data has indeed improved significantly this season, averaging almost 27+12+3+2+1 per game.Successfully promoted from a quasi-first-class scorer to a first-class scorer in the league, so he thinks that he can challenge any insider in the league now.Including Tang Qian.At least he thinks he can make a run for it.

This is also a kind of "speaking straight".Although standing on Tang Qian's side, he was quite unhappy.

As soon as Tang Qian came up tonight, he rarely said directly to Cousins:
Is your family here tonight?I advise you to let them leave early, because you will be ravaged very badly later.

Cousins ​​has a violent temper and bad temper, and this season he has also been promoted to the 308-pound behemoth center tonnage. He is not afraid of the Lakers' No. 29 at all:

Stop talking nonsense, Dongfang Tang!Do you think you still have any advantage over me?Your words are exactly what I want to say to you!

Tonight, I will make you, the so-called No. [-] center in the league, feel ashamed and call your mother crying!
Tang Qian responded with a sneer when he heard the words:
Okay, I accept it, and I won't forgive you even if you beg for mercy tonight.

Enjoy this wonderful time, cousin.

In fact, this nickname is not popular in the United States. It was only in 2017 that Cousins ​​got the news of this nickname from a Chinese reporter's question.At that time, Cousins ​​​​was directly rude, saying that he was very upset and didn't like this nickname very much, because he thought it was too motherly, and he felt like a softie.So when Tang Qian called him that in person, he immediately lost his temper and yelled something, but Tang Qian didn't listen anymore, and jumped up to win the ball, and the Lakers made the first attack.

"Are you cheating? You cunning oriental!" Cousins ​​yelled at Tang Qian, which made Tang Qian feel amused and said: "I still need to cheat you in the fight for the ball? Can you stop teasing me? You feel really good about yourself. Give you 100 chances, can you beat me once?"

"You look down on me?" Cousins ​​stared, looking scary.

"Yes. You can think so." Tang Qian said indifferently: "In terms of scrimmage, I just look down on you. What can you do?"

The Kings' offense is very good this season, averaging more than 106+ points per game. Their problem is defense.Their average conceded points per game this season is as high as 110 points!This is simply against the sky!How to say?For comparison, the Philadelphia 76ers, the worst team in the league and the record losing streak in the four major leagues in North America, did not lose as many points as the Kings, only averaging about 107 points per game.

So... defense?The Kings, do they, have?
Even though the defensive strength of this lineup has dropped a lot for the Lakers, the impact of the lineup has not decreased at all, but has increased.For example, Josh Smith, who has just turned 30 years and one month old, or Randall, who is still a calf, plus Ariza and Tang Qian, that is, a Farmer with insufficient impact.The other four are very good.Facing a strong defensive team like this may be easy to be blocked, but the Kings, do they count?

doesn't count.Therefore, the Lakers played a 10-2 scoring spurt at the beginning of this game.

Tang Qian couldn't help but said to Cousins: "Defense, buddy, defense, as the center of the team, don't you have no basket protection? Sigh, that's really half disabled." Cousins ​​said The temper and IQ of this kind of person couldn't be provoked, so he started yelling at Tang Qian, but Tang Qian didn't take it to heart at all.

The Kings' offense is also fast, and their head coach George Karl uses a flank assault style of attack.Rudy Gay and Quincy Asch of the Kings had an effect. The mixed lineup of the Lakers did not cooperate well enough. They seized the opportunity and scored several goals in a row.Although Rudy Gay's defense is not good and his passing organization is poor, he can score.This is a person who averages around 20 points per game all year round.There is nothing to say about offensive technology.If the Lakers are in the starting lineup now, they can still be tough, and Butler will never suffer against him.In addition, the tacit understanding of the team is getting higher and higher, and there is a possibility of choking Gay.

And it's not small.

But now, this is impossible. Josh Smith is not as good as Butler on the defensive end, and his teamwork with the main team is not good enough, which gives Rudy Gay an opportunity.But the Lakers are not in a hurry, because the Kings' defense is really bad, and they score equally easily.No, it was easier. In this way, the Lakers had the absolute upper hand.

Cousins ​​didn't take the ball very much during this period, because Gay took a lot of shots, and his shooting percentage was not bad during this period, so until now, Cousins ​​still scored zero eggs.Tang Qian smiled and said, "Hey, didn't you say you want me to cry and call you mom? What? That's how you asked me to call you mom?" "Why are you in a hurry! Just wait for me, and I'll blow you up right away!" "Cousins ​​is really deceptive, alas, what a pity for his skills and stature.

No wonder it's been so many years, I haven't tasted the playoffs once, it's so pitiful.

"Okay, then you come." Tang Qian said, looking very relaxed and calm.

The Kings attacked, and Cousins ​​yelled for the ball as soon as halftime: "Give me! Give me the ball!"

In fact, Gay feels good during this period, so he is still a bit "reluctant", but now the Kings Cousins ​​​​is the veritable No.1, the King of Sacramento, and he has to give the ball.Otherwise, who knows what kind of nerves this tantrum will have in the locker room later.Although Gay is 201cm tall and weighs 230 pounds, compared to ordinary people, he is a monster figure. Unfortunately, in front of Cousins, he is a lot smaller.

Cousins ​​​​this season is also when his body tonnage is the largest, and his deterrence is amazing.

It is not a good thing to fight against him, and Gay has never been the kind of person who likes to fight, otherwise he would not only have this achievement in the NBA.When he entered the NBA, his voice was not low.In the second season, people who averaged 20+6+2+1+1 per game can be cut down. What do you think is a weak chicken in talent?
It is that he is too lacking in ambition for playing. McGrady's successor back then, with a 7-foot-3 wingspan and 42-inch jumping, these are excellent swingman physical talents.But this guy feels that playing basketball is just a simple job. Punching in and out of get off work is a typical scene you can see.In addition, his spirit has never been high, so he can muddle along, and he has earned so much money in his life. To be honest, Guy himself is quite satisfied.

In that case, what else can you say?Nothing to say.

Gay passed the ball, even if he feels good now, he chose "self-interruption".Cousins ​​got the ball, turned around and said face to face: "Dongfang Tang, I am going to challenge you this season, challenge you, the first center position, you should give up!" Yes, in the original time and space, many times They all ranked Cousins ​​​​in the top three centers.His personal ability is still recognized as strong.This season he has made a big breakthrough again, breaking into the first-class scorer in scoring, and after the tonnage has increased significantly, his back body and card position have also improved a lot. Under such circumstances, he thinks he has already You can challenge the No. 29 of the Lakers.

The NBA is a place to challenge and be challenged. It is not surprising that he has this in mind after he becomes strong.

So he can sit in this position, but his teammate Rudy Gay has no talent and can only play as the second or even third leader of each team.

"Okay, you beat me, the first center position is yours."

Cousins ​​​​started to attack, and he chose a face-to-basket attack.Cousins' face-to-basket breakthrough is the strongest level of insiders among the new generation of players.Why do you say that? For example, in the original time and space for several consecutive seasons, Cousins' breakthrough to the basket is No.1 among the insiders.This shows that his face-to-basket ability is strong.With his tonnage this season, the sharp increase in scoring per game is not unexpected.But this trick didn't work against Tang Qian.

From the beginning of his breakthrough, Tang Qian has been tightly attached to him, without giving him any space at all. With the same tonnage of a behemoth center forward, Cousins' pace is still slower than Tang Qian's.Coupled with Tang Qian's strong defensive ability, Cousins ​​quickly fell into a stalemate.In the end, there was no other way, because Cousins ​​couldn't get any good chances, so Cousins ​​could only force the ball to shoot blindly, and the basketball directly made a three-point shot.

"You're not very good at this. The breakthrough speed is too slow. Is it because you have grown fat that your steps are slow?"

asshole! ! !

Cousins ​​returned to the defense very depressed, but the Kings rarely defended the ball, and the basketball fell into Tang Qian's hands.Tang Qian looked at Cousins, and suddenly caught the ball with one hand and changed his center of gravity. Cousins ​​was caught off guard, his center of gravity floated, and then he saw a purple-gold figure passing by him, directly hanging high above the Kings on the basket.

"How about my noodle basket? Is it better than yours?"

"Dongfang Hot! Don't be complacent! I just made a mistake!" Cousins ​​roared.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you, the Lakers are low, see you there." Tang Qian walked away happily, and he also lured Cousins ​​to the low-post matchup.Cousins ​​is worthy of being one of the most easily provoked players in the entire NBA, and he will fight if he is fooled.But there was still no chance, Tang Qian posted it so that he almost missed the dribble.

"Come on, is this your patience?"

Cousins ​​was about to make a forced shot when a voice stopped him. It was the No. 1 player of the team asking for the ball and making a tactical gesture at the same time.When Cousins ​​saw this tactic, he immediately accepted it, passed the ball, and ran away from the low post.

"What? Stop fighting?" Tang Qian said.

"You wait for me! Don't worry!" Cousins ​​said angrily.

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry."

The Kings played a double cut, and the guard cut in with the pick-and-roll, and then broke through to make a shot.After the ball came in, Darren Collison just threw it back. Obviously, the breakthrough was just a cover.This is to let the team... the 5th position go down the middle and attack without the ball.With the team configuration of the Kings, it's not bad to be able to play this trick. George Karl is worthy of being a famous coach. He saved Sacramento's offense, but he couldn't save the team's defense.

Cousins ​​soared into the sky with a slightly ferocious face. Although he didn't jump high, he was a center forward. He was tall enough and his arms were long enough. He only needed enough impact to smash everything in front of him.With this move, there are not seven but six inside players who have been knocked out by him this season.With his tonnage this season, he really seems to be invincible and unstoppable.

Seeing Tang Qian moving over, he was not worried but rather happy and said:
Dongfang Tang, you can eat me! ! !Let's see if you're still fussing! ! !

The home commentator of the Kings also shouted loudly to mobilize the atmosphere: "This ball Cousins ​​is like a big truck rushing up at full speed. No one dares to block it." Big truck?It's a bit of an image, but no one dares to be it, so forget it.Tang Qian jumped up, just facing each other, the two bodies collided in the air and made a loud noise, which made the rest of the basket feel a little uncontrollable toothache.The tonnage of the two behemoth centers has reached 308 pounds. It is terrible to be so hard in the air.If he was in it, he might be squeezed into meatloaf.

"Cover, cover?? Cover!!! The Lakers' Dongfang blocked the ball!!!" The home commentator of the Kings said a little in disbelief.Let alone him, Cousins ​​himself couldn't believe that he was blocked so simply.

This is his own down-acceleration dunk!Is there a mistake?He blocked it?
"You jumped too short." Tang Qian didn't forget to "make up a knife" after landing, which made Cousins ​​even more depressed.

The Lakers' offense was successful, and the Kings' defense was indeed vulnerable.

The league is the worst, it's not a lie, if it weren't for the good offense, it is estimated that the 76ers will give up the treatment of the bottom king.

The Kings missed a three-pointer and the Lakers got a rebound, but Cousins ​​ran out and intercepted the ball when it was passed to wing Smith.This guy is positive. As a center forward, he has close to 1.5 steals in his career. He averaged 1.6 steals per game this season, which is really good.He defends around the front and waits for an opportunity to steal. This is also a classic defensive action of his.

After the steal, he didn't pass the ball, but just took the ball and rushed. This scene, I believe, should be very familiar to anyone who has watched the Kings ball a lot.

Fast break one-stop, close to the free throw line and start to collect the ball and step forward, hitting.

Tang Qian's defense speed is also fast enough, mainly because this person is his defender, and his attention is naturally more concentrated than others.Because he was off the ball, his straight line sprint also exploded.Really, very soon.When Cousins ​​entered the three-point line, he was already neck and neck, and when Cousins ​​was about to start, he had already entered the effective defensive zone.

It is impossible for Cousins ​​to dodge the ball anymore. The monster center has brought him great tonnage and strength, but the control of inertia and body center of gravity has also become more difficult.This ball, besides taking a shot, he still had to take a shot.This kind of acceleration of almost the whole court, the defender may not be able to stop easily, let alone Cousins.Of course, Cousins ​​didn't intend to stop. He raised the ball with one leg and just smashed it.

He just wants to overthrow this oriental man!Only to relieve my anger!

Tang Qian saw what he was thinking and jumped up directly. Although he hit Cousins ​​hard on the right knee, he didn't move at all. He raised his left hand high and slapped Cousins The ball in his hands.

There was a contest of strength between the two in the air, but the result soon came out. Cousins ​​was under the hat of Tang Qiansheng, and he almost fell down when he landed.

"My God, this kind of ball is so terrible. The Lakers' No. 29 has also been capped. He is really invincible in the league. The ability to protect the basket. If this kind of ball is replaced by another person, who else can block it? After Jerry Reynolds, the on-site commentator of the Kings, said, his partner said: "No one, DeMarcus's ball has been completely charged, close to the acceleration of the audience, I am afraid that Dwight Reynolds is now Howard is going to be pushed off. It can only be said that the Lakers Dongfang Hot is too strong."

"His physical confrontation is obviously better than that of DeMarcus."

He didn't tell the truth in this sentence, because the thought in his heart was that it was much better.

Cousins ​​is about to go crazy, he is going to blow up his opponent in this game, now, has he scored a goal?If this continues, won't tomorrow's newspapers write that he was brutally bombed?He couldn't bear it, so he started to attack continuously from behind.Individual singles.

Cousins' dribbling ability is really, really strong. Yuan Shikong Rondo said that Cousins ​​has the heart of a defender.

Changing directions in front of the body, fast dribbling behind the back while walking, cross steps, worshiping Buddha to break through, etc., are all easy to grasp.It's no wonder he is so arrogant, Tang Qian really can't learn this way.Tang Qian is a traditional center, not a new-age center like Cousins.However, he can't dribble like this, but with his foot speed and flexibility, he has to overwhelm the former.In this case, you will see the following scene, where Cousins ​​changes direction and is blocked by Tang Qian.Cousins ​​dribbled the ball behind his back and was blocked by Tang Qian.Cousins ​​made a tentative step + a false step, but was blocked by Tang Qian.

As a result, he was going crazy, and it was the first time he encountered a big insider who could completely keep up with his breakthrough and completely block his dribbling skills.Are you playing 2k?Is the other party Hall of Fame Breakthrough Difficulty?

"That's all you have to do? Do you have any more?"

After being sprayed with trash talk again, Cousins ​​directly grabbed the ball for a layup, and then gave Tang Qian a spicy hot pot.

"As a center forward, why do you play so much with the ball? It's really unlucky to be a guard on your team." Tang Qian's words actually spoke to the hearts of the Kings guards, but they were forced by Cousins. ", few people dared to confide.

There is only one ball. If you play like this as a center forward, what should we do as a defender?This is a typical inability to perform their duties.Because it is impossible for a guard to have Cousins' ability to guard the inside and attack the basket.

And if the center forward plays like this, he still misses the goal after all. Once he is caught up, he is not as good as the defender.

But someone from the Kings still gave Cousins ​​an opinion, asking him to switch his attack mode and stop hitting the basket all the time, because the Eastern center's speed is too agile, and Cousins ​​can't take advantage of it.In this way, his breakthrough advantage cannot be brought into play.In this case, it is better to switch to a back attack.

This person is also kind. Cousins ​​has greatly increased his tonnage this season, and has officially become a member of the giant center forward. Playing with his back is also a way.Cousins ​​thought it was good, and immediately did so in the next attack, but his back was simply... unable to support the Eastern center.The back-to-back play with strength completely failed.

"Try your technical back, don't fight with him for strength DeMarcus."

Cousins ​​also quickly changed his moves and started turning left and right, squeezing left and right, but Tang Qian gave him offensive feedback... I blocked you when you went to the left, and I blocked you when you went to the right. You have to push it hard and squeeze out the space forcibly.He was also eaten alive by Tang Qian's body.This season, he only needs a hard top to make the defensive players retreat, at least he can lose his center of gravity and relax his lower plate, but facing the Lakers' No. 29, he didn't feel it at all.

It seemed that the things I was proud of this season no longer existed.

Cousins ​​went a little berserk. He started pushing and turning like a bull. Sometimes, he looked terrified.But Tang Qian didn't take a single step back, relying solely on his body to resist, he forcibly suppressed it.Have you ever seen Reagan, who is known as "CBA LeBron James", hit Thompson hard in the low post? No matter how he contradicted and swung his elbow, the opponent still didn't move half a centimeter.It was as if he was fighting against the wall until he lost his center of gravity and balance.

Cousins ​​yelled and forcibly shot, watching his basketball being slapped by No. 29. That posture was really tough, as if the city wall was unbreakable.

"You still want me to call you mom?" Tang Qian said to Cousins ​​after covering the ball, "You must be dreaming."

"But as I said before, I accepted your challenge in this game, but you have no chance to beg for mercy."

"I won't spare you."
