Chapter 148 Outbreak

On February 2012, 2, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Portland Trail Blazers at home.

Andrew Bynum is still absent tonight, but Kobe has recovered seven to eighty-eight, so the latter will appear in the game tonight.

Since there are not many things to watch in this game, it is still not ranked in the national live broadcast.

But compared to the slightly indifferent America, the other side of the ocean, the Eastern World, is full of enthusiasm.

Many fans waited in front of the TV early in the morning, just waiting for the game to start.

"Hi everyone, this is Chao.Ting Sports Station. I'm Yu Jia and I'm overflowing."

"Today is Tang Qian's first game officially joining the Lakers. What do you think of this game?" Yu Jia said first.

"In this game, I think everyone should not expect too much." The typical overflowing answer style, half concealed, eager to refuse and welcome, tantalizing.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Yu Jia and him are also old partners, so they are very familiar with how to strike up a conversation.

"Because of the 'explosive' performance like yesterday, it may be difficult for Tang Qian to present today." Yang Yi said frankly: "I am not belittling Tang Qian, it is mainly a matter of hard ability. If he can really explode continuously, There is no doubt that it will be the next Linsanity, after all, Los Angeles is also a mega city, and has the strength to build momentum.”

"Well, that makes sense, so what do you expect from Tang Qian today?" Yu Jia continued to ask.

"I'm looking forward to it, there really is one!" Yang Yi said: "I hope his block data can continue, because if he can win the NBA's block leader, Tang Qian can earn an extra million dollars this season, right?"

"Well, this is just a joke." Yang Yi closed his smile and said: "The reason why I expect his block data is mainly because this is the only NBA single list he can be on. And yellow people block shots Wang, in the nearly 70-year history of the NBA, he has never appeared before. If he can do it, then this alone will be enough to leave his name in history."

"The king of the single list, let alone the king of blocks, I remember that no yellow person has appeared in any king, right?" Yu Jia said.

"It's almost like that." Yang Yi replied.

"However, Tang Qian's time to join the NBA is not very good. Starting from the match against the Celtics on February 2, the Lakers have played 9 games before, and this season is a shortened season. From the perspective of eligibility, Is it too late?" Yu Jia said.

"Let's put it this way, the NBA's single data king, the selection rules are as follows." Yang Yi talked eloquently: "For example, scoring champion, if you want to participate in this list, then there are two hard conditions, one is to appear in the game 70 games, the other is to score 1400 points or more. It is worth mentioning that these two conditions are not required at the same time. According to the NBA rules, only one of the two conditions needs to be met to automatically qualify for participation .So the participation conditions for the block king are similar. Except that you need to play 70 games, the remaining one is that the number of blocked shots reaches or exceeds 123 times. As long as one of the two meets the standard, you can participate in the competition. In addition, rebounds The eligibility criteria for the king, assists king, and steals king are also similar, except for the attendance rate of 70 games, the other is 800 rebounds, 400 assists, or 100 steals, and one of the two eligibility conditions can be achieved.”

"According to the evaluation rules, Tang Qian's first attendance rate has already failed. Even in the shrinking season, he only played 41 games, which is still a little short, and he is not qualified to be selected for any individual list. Competition." Yang Yi bought a pass, and said: "Since this is the case, why does this column exist in Tang Qian's incentive options?" Yang Yi said: "This will involve the second one I just mentioned. There are hard conditions, since the attendance rate is low, what should I do? As long as the cumulative number of blocked shots in the remaining games exceeds 123, then Tang Qian is still eligible to compete for the award of the blocked shot king."

"So that's how it is. I've learned a lot today." Yu Jia sang together with him.

"Now Tang Qian's average blocks per game is 3.0. I remember that the Lakers have 35 games left to compare. This means that in the remaining games, Tang Qian still needs to contribute 3.0 blocks per game to get Qualifications to participate in the evaluation." At this point, Yang Yi shook his head and said: "3.0 blocks, it's easy to say, but it's really difficult to do it!"

"Yeah, I remember that last season's block leader averaged 2.6 blocks per game, right? Tang Qian wants to maintain an average of 3.0 blocks per game until the end of the season. The difficulty is not ordinary!" Yu Jia said.

"It's not just difficult?" Yang Yi said again: "Looking back, do you know when will there be a block leader with an average of more than 3.0 blocks per game? It was the 07-08 season. I remember that it was a man or a horse." Cus Camby, averaged 3.6 blocks per game, and the total number of blocks in the season exceeded 280! And in that era, it was the era when McGrady still scored 20+ points, and it was the era when Dayao scored 20+ points. Look at it The distance, how many years has it been? So it is definitely extremely difficult for Tang Qian to reach an average of 3.0 blocks per game!"

"That's right." Yu Jia said: "I just checked the statistics, and the statistics show that Serge Ibaka is temporarily the block leader this season, and his average number of blocks per game is as high as 3.7 times! From this point of view, even if Tang Qian maintains an average of 3.0 blocks per game until the end of the season, it will be difficult for Tang Qian to become the block leader this season!"

"Average 3.7 blocks per game." Yang Yi pushed up his glasses and said, "Do you know who was the last person to reach this statistic?"

"Who is it?" Yu Jia said cooperatively.

"Alonzo Mourning." Yang Yi said, "It was 99 blocks created in the 00-3.7 season."

"In other words, it has been 12 years?" Yu Jia said.

"So the difficulty of surpassing this data is unimaginable." Yang Yi said.

"It looks like Tang Qian dug himself a big hole," Yu Jia said.

"Yes, but it's like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate. If you fail to jump, you will fall to your death. If you jump over, the situation will change, and you will become a dragon in one fell swoop!" Yang Yi said.

"Okay, the game is about to start, let's take a look at the starting lineup of both sides tonight." Yu Jia said: "The starting lineup for the Los Angeles Lakers tonight is Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol , Derek Fisher, Metta World Peace, Troy Murphy. Portland Trail Blazers lineup is, LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicholas Batum, Raymond Fei Leonton, Gerald Wallace, Marcus Camby. Unsurprisingly, Andrew Bynum continues to miss the game."

"It doesn't matter." Yang Yi said: "Whether Andrew Bynum is absent or not, the Lakers' book strength is higher than that of the Portland Trail Blazers. As long as they don't make mistakes tonight, it's no problem to win the opponent."

"Let's watch the game..."

……

Due to completing the task released by "Different Space" and successfully staying in the NBA, Tang Qian was rewarded with the Bronze Strength Booster Card. Its effectiveness is similar to the Silver Strength Booster Card. Within 5 minutes, the physical strength can be increased by 0.5 times.

In addition, there is another new change that caught Tang Qian's attention.

At some point in the "different space", a calendar appeared, but the strange thing is that this calendar-like thing is blank on it.

Yes, it is a blank, empty space.

This... what is this?
Tang Qian knelt down again regarding the pissing nature of the "different space", but there was still no introduction or explanation, and everything was based on guesswork.

Enough is enough!Can't this damn "different space" be a little more intelligent?

Tang Qian complained slightly, and then withdrew from this "ghost place".

In this game, Tang Qian's luck is gone, because the Lakers played extremely smoothly all the way, so there are not many opportunities left for him to perform.After playing just over 5 minutes and getting 4 rebounds and 1 block, Tang Qian's trailblazer journey came to an end.

The Lakers easily defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 103-92.

This is the tragedy of being a pure substitute. The playing time is very limited, so it is very difficult to get good data.

4 rebounds, 1 block and 0 points are Tang Qian's report card tonight.

Tang Qian was naturally dissatisfied, but he only had so much playing time, so he couldn't help it.

Immediately, the domestic media booed.

Tang Qian's status has declined, and his future is worrying!
Lazy after signing the contract?This is courting death!
Lose motivation!Tang Qian is no longer miraculous!
Show your true colors?Or is that the case?Tang Qian's true strength is in doubt!

This is the trend of the domestic media. They are both fans and critics. They have no patience or objectivity. All headlines are aimed at attracting attention and attracting attention.

All the major forums are also full of discussions, such as "luck theory", "one game theory" and so on.

There are even some fans of "Yi Di" and "Sun Dasheng" who came over to "sneer" and "add insult to injury", wishing that Tang Qian, like Yi Di and Sun Dasheng, would be in a mess and finally leave the NBA in disgrace.

But compared to the domestic side, the United States is much calmer, because in their view, Tang Qian is just a small character. It is expected to applaud if he plays well, and there is nothing to care about if he plays poorly.

The same thing is still going on. In the game against the Mavericks on February 2, Tang Qian only played 22 minutes again, with 4 rebounds and 2 block. The statistics are unbearable.

This time on the other side of the ocean, Tang Qian has already confirmed the ironic nickname of "sugar water", and the number of sunspots is doubling every hour.

"I knew he was just lucky. I really thought it was impossible to eat dumplings every day? Are you still comparing yourself to Emperor Yi? Pooh, let's go through Sun Dasheng's level first!" The content of the words left by people can be understood at a glance, he is a Tang Hei.

"I heard from Tang Mi a few days ago that Tang Qian signed a basic salary, which is a big loss, but what about the facts? The fact is that the Lakers signed Dashui.B, and it is the real victim!" Someone echoed. "Tang Qian Zhenshui.B" said.

"What about Tang Mi? Why did he disappear after playing badly? Didn't you still brag about him a while ago, is he better than Emperor Yi? Where are you all going now?"

"What is better than Emperor Yi? Emperor Yi was a serious and high-ranking rookie back then. Do you think that all the beautiful professionals are blind?"

"Forget it, don't go too far in everything, and give Tang Mis room to cry!"

……

"Don, how do you feel? I saw that your statistics in the last two games were not very good." Taylor Swift asked on the phone.

"Well, it's okay, it should be fine after adjusting it." Tang Qian said casually.

"Don't worry, take your time, you will find your form one day." Taylor is usually very busy and can only take time to watch the Lakers' game report, so she doesn't know the details of these two games.

Tang Qian responded, but said in his heart, if I am not given playing time, what can I do no matter how good I am?
Damn!

In fact, Tang Qian couldn't blame Mike Brown, because generally speaking, the main lineup played smoothly, and who would remember a marginal substitute?Isn't it okay to find trouble for yourself?Furthermore, discovering newcomers and using newcomers is not Mike Brown's strength and coaching purpose.For a team that aims to win the championship again, utilitarianism is necessary, so Mike Brown must do his best to improve the record and winning percentage of the Lakers. He is very clear about the purpose of hiring him , not looking at the future, one word is now, it is now.

Therefore, Mike Brown's cognition is also very clear. If he wants to stay with the Lakers for a long time, there is no other way, only to win, only to win.As we all know, rookies are definitely the most unpopular group of players, especially for the Lakers. In order to ensure the winning rate, Mike Brown can only use less rookies and more.Kobe's average playing time this season is nearly 5 minutes more than last season, which is the best evidence.

Don't think that Tang Qian will be favored after playing a few good games. Since then, his status in the team has risen steadily. It is not uncommon in the long history of the NBA that high-ranking rookies are suppressed because of the coach's coaching purpose, and they are hidden. .A typical example is the No. 03 pick of the 2 Platinum Generation, Darko Milicic, a talented Serbian player who was once considered as talented as LeBron James.Looking at Milicic's scouting report back then, you will find that it is almost as good as Zhan Huang.

...Able to open the bow with both left and right hands, strong inside scoring ability, strong physical coordination, strong inside explosive ability, possesses the ball handling level of a forward, and can be competent for any position except point guard...Wide range, three-point shooting Not to mention, the shooting feel is quite soft... Suggested templates, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, Larry Bird.

If this scouting report wasn't enough to explain the problem, Milicic conquered then-Pistons general manager Dumars in just 45 minutes in his first tryout, and even forced the latter to swear, and his excitement was beyond words.

It is precisely because of this that the Pistons will give up Carmelo Anthony and choose this underage kid from Serbia instead.

But the final result, everyone knows, the genius has come to an end before it rises.

The iron bench for three consecutive years directly inhibited the growth of this talented player, and Larry Brown always satirized Milicic in front of the media, which greatly devastated his spirit and will.As the No. 03 in 3, as a genius who became famous as a teenager, how did it feel to have no chance to perform for 3 years? In 30 years, LeBron has evolved to an average of 26+ per game, Anthony also has an average of 1.5+ per game, and what about him?Still cleaning up garbage time, averaging no more than [-] points per game!Who is not proud of being a young genius?But the huge gap between reality and ideals directly tore the heart of this Serbian teenager.

And as a professional athlete, what are you most afraid of?
It's not an injury, it's not a low tide, it's not ridicule... it's a heart.

Without the will to become a strong man, then the achievements of a lifetime will be limited to death. This is the case of Darko Milicic.

Amid the scolding of "parallel imports", he gave up being strong, continuing, and being proud... Until the end, he even gave up on basketball.The same example, there are many more, such as Kwame Brown, Danny Ferry, Lalu Martin, etc., these people are the top three rookies of the year, but in the end they did not bear the infamy of "parallel imports" , is to fade away.But they all have one thing in common, that is, the playing time in the previous seasons was pitifully small, with a maximum of ten minutes, which is completely different from LeBron and Cameron.So over time, talent and confidence will fade away, and it is not surprising that everyone will disappear in the end.To put it bluntly, in terms of the situation of the Pistons back then, they have been contenders for the championship for a long time, and with a head coach like Larry Brown who is not too interested in rookies, even if LeBron and Cameron join the team, It is also the fate of being "abolished".Can you imagine that LeBron James averaged only about 5 minutes per game in the first three seasons?Can you imagine Carmelo Anthony sitting on the bench for the first three seasons and only playing in garbage time?

And now the situation of the Lakers is somewhat similar. As a strong contender in the Western Conference in recent years and a strong contender for the championship, the task assigned to Mike Brown is to win the championship.As for how he won the championship and whether he will train new players with him, those are not matters that the higher-ups will manage, because as the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, they have plenty of money, but they have no patience.

When Mike Brown first came to the interview, he was already aware of this.

So in order to keep his job, going mad. Fucking. The main force became his only choice.

This is not Cleveland. From the players to the owners, neither has the patience or the habit of waiting.

Looking at the history of the Lakers winning championships, you will understand that they have always had a superstar policy, and they especially like to rob other teams' stars to enrich their own strength-SO, instant success, is the true attribute of this city.

Nobody here likes to wait.

Whether it's the owner, the players, the fans, it makes no difference.
