Chapter 149 Outbreak

"Hot, this guy bombarded you! Don't let him go next time, use your Chinese kung fu to teach him a lesson!" Matt Barnes ran into the training ground angrily holding a newspaper .

"Chinese Kung Fu? What Chinese Kung Fu?" Ci Shiping asked immediately with sharp ears.

"Uh...this...it's nothing, you heard it wrong!" Matt Barnes knew that he was fast-talking, so he quickly changed his words.

"What are you bombarding me for?" Tang Qian came over with a basketball and asked.

"Who else? Not that Polish idiot!" Matt Barnes said.

"Polish idiot? Are you talking about Marcin Gortat?" Tang Qian said.

"That's right, it's him. Look at what's written in the newspaper!" Tang Qian took the newspaper from Matt Barnes and took a closer look, only to see a section above that said: I knew him It's rubbish, that outbreak was just luck - said the Polish giant Marcin Gortat.

Skip the title, Tang Qian continued to browse down.

ESPN reporter Mark Hong interviewed Marcin Gortat, a Polish player who broke out tonight. The latter boasted that he would definitely enter the All-Star this year and become an All-Star player. ...Talking about that conflict with the Lakers, Marcin Gortat still seemed to be brooding. He said that if his teammates hadn't blocked him, he would have let the Chinese know how powerful his fist was.And when it comes to the performance of the Lakers on the 29th, Marcin Gortat scoffed, claiming that his poor form that day allowed the opponent to take advantage of the loopholes. The poor statistics of the past few days are the true level and what the Chinese Hot should be Performance. ...In my eyes, he is a fringe player in the NBA, and he is not worthy of being compared with me...Marcin Gortat, who scored 21 points and 15 rebounds against the Golden State Warriors that night.

After Tang Qian read it, he returned the newspaper to Matt Barnes and said, "Don't worry, Matt, there are jokes every day, so there's no need to be angry with this kind of person."

"But……"

"Next time I will get it back with action." Tang Qian turned around and continued to practice the ball: "This is more effective than any counterattack."

Hearing this, Matt Barnes said with a "yiny" smile: "Really, hot, I look forward to the arrival of that day."

……

On February 2012, 2, US time, the Los Angeles Lakers challenged the Oklahoma City Thunder away.

The Oklahoma City Thunder this season is not what it used to be a few years ago. The current 26 wins and 7 losses are far better than the Lakers' 20 wins and 13 losses. They are second in the Western Conference, second only to the old-fashioned Spurs, which is hard power proof.And their young stars are also gradually maturing, Kevin Durant's consecutive scoring champion, Russell Westbrook, whose statistics have improved in an all-round way, and Serge, who is far ahead of No.2 in the blocked shots list this year Ibaka, just saying the names of these people makes people feel horrible.What's more, there is a "future No. [-]" James Harden on the bench who is ready to move. With such a luxurious lineup, it is not unreasonable to break through from the Western Conference in the playoffs this year and then go all the way to the finals.

But it's a pity that the current Lakers haven't taken their opponents seriously.

Including Kobe Bryant at this time, they don't think highly of this NBA rookie team.

Only Tang Qian knows that the Oklahoma City Thunder this season is extremely terrifying!
And since this season, facing the Thunder, the Lakers began to fall into a long-term disadvantage. Until the last memory of Tang Qian's last life, the Lakers could not recover.

This team is definitely a strong opponent.

An easy win tonight is unlikely.

Looking at the group of young Thunder players opposite, Tang Qian muttered to himself.

At this time, in a luxurious villa in Los Angeles, a "television battle" is being staged.

"Sophia, Sestin, you, what are you doing, why do you want to grab the remote control, why do you want to change the channel? I want to watch SpongeBob SquarePants, I want to watch SpongeBob SquarePants~~~" A person with the same appearance as Sophia and Sestin Seven points similar to the little girl crying and shouting.

"Scarlett, there is an NBA game to watch tonight, so the right to use the TV is temporarily ours!" Sestin said majestically, looking at the little girl.

"NBA? What's so interesting about the NBA! Besides, don't you all have TVs in your rooms? Why do you want to come over and grab me???" The little girl quit and yelled loudly.

"Uh... Watching an NBA game, the TV screen is too small and there is no atmosphere, so how about borrowing the big TV in the living room for us first?" Sofia also said.

"No, no, no! I want to watch SpongeBob SquarePants, I want to watch SpongeBob SquarePants! I've never missed an episode!" The little girl's obsession with "SpongeBob SquarePants" far exceeds the imagination of the two sisters.

"Hey, Scarlett, how about I buy you donuts later? Add chocolate coating and cream?" Seeing that it didn't make sense, Sofia immediately changed to "food lure" and said.

"Ah~" The little girl Scarlett was obviously stunned when she heard this, her cute little brows were frowned, as if she was thinking and measuring.But in the end, she chose "SpongeBob SquarePants" and shook her head to reject Sophia's donut temptation.

"That's not enough, that's not okay, can you do it the other way around?" Sestin is not as good-tempered as Sophia, seeing that the game is about to start, he immediately put his hands on his hips and shouted loudly: "Go to the room to watch right away, or I will Just close your confinement, so that you won't be able to watch any cartoons tonight!!! Did you hear that???"

"Woo~Wow~~~" Scarlett was a little girl after all, so frightened, she burst into tears and kept saying "Wow".

"Okay, Scarlett, if you're obedient, I can consider giving you one of my Barbie dolls!" Sofia threw out the "sugar-coated cannonball" again.

"Really, really?" Scarlett stopped crying as soon as she heard it, and asked eagerly.

"Of course it's true. I'm not like Sestin. I mean what I say. How about it? Would you like it?"

"Hmm...Okay, but Sophia, you have to keep your word!" Scarlett urged.

"Of course, sure." After Sophia finished speaking, Scarlett obediently went back to the room to watch "SpongeBob SquarePants".

"How is it? I'm still good, right?" Sophia raised her eyes and said to Sestin.

"Tch~ I didn't expect her to know the 'benefits' at such a young age, what a brat!" Sestin replied.

"Forget it, I don't know who used to mess around with me and grab the Barbie doll."

"Sophia, you..." Seeing that Sestin was about to jump, Sophia immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, forget my mistake, the game is about to start, sit down and watch."

"Hey, I don't know how much time I can play in this game. Too little playing time is very bad for professional players." After Sestin finished speaking, Sophia said: "hoo~ It seems that I have done a lot of homework recently Oh~ I even know this, not bad, not bad~”

Sestin shrugged her small nose and said, "That's not true! Sofia, you have to be careful, don't let me overtake you!"

"Overtake?" Sophia also raised her chin and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll wait for you."

……

In the first quarter, the Lakers had a good offensive power. The return of Andrew Bynum gave the Thunder a great impact inside.Facing the Lakers Twin Towers, Serge Ibaka was a little hesitant to lose sight of one another. 0 blocks in this quarter was his answer sheet.After the first quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 10 points for the Lakers, but Durant on the opposite side did not show weakness. He scored 9 points in the first quarter, almost on par with Kobe Bryant.

The Lakers led the first quarter 23-19.

But starting from the second quarter, the situation was gradually reversed by the Thunder.

Kobe Bryant made 4 of 0 shots, which is considered the culprit, because the Thunder's "Du Shao" made another effort, with a wave of 11 points in a single quarter, which directly overwhelmed Kobe.Fortunately, Gasol made 3 of 3 shots and scored 3 free throws. This was the only way to withstand the Thunder's indiscriminate bombing and prevent the Lakers from collapsing in a single quarter.

43-46, the Lakers were overtaken by the Thunder.

However, the really scary thing is yet to come. In the third quarter, although Kobe scored 8 points again by relying on breakthrough free throws, the Thunder, in addition to Durant's 7 points, also had Westbrook's 8 points and Ibaka's 6 points. , 19-27 in a single quarter, the score difference between the Lakers and their opponents has not widened, but has widened.

After the third quarter, 62-73, has fallen behind by as much as 11 points.

At this time, the fatigue of the Lakers gradually emerged, and the Thunder, sorry, are still full of energy.

This is the benefit of a younger lineup, and there is no need to worry about the decline in the physical strength of the main force in the second half.

Kobe fought hard in this game, but he is 33 and a half years old after all, coupled with the excessive consumption in the first half of the season, the problem of physical strength has become more and more obvious.And this problem will become more and more serious as the season goes on.

Maybe the Black Mamba hasn't realized it yet. This season will be his last season in which he will be able to catch the offense and defense. After that, there will be no chance to engrave his name on the All-Defensive Team.

The decline in physical strength led to the integration of offense and defense that he was once proud of, and this season, it slowly collapsed.

Domestically, Chao.Ting Sports Station.

"Director Zhang, now the Lakers are behind by 11 points, what are the reasons?" Meteor Shower said to Zhang Weiping.

"I think the main reason is that Kobe, the arrow of the Lakers, is a little out of order."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Just looking at his field goal percentage, you can tell that it was 44% in the first quarter, 0% in the second quarter, and 25% in the third quarter. In fact, if it weren't for the decent number of free throws, it would be difficult for Kobe to score 10 points in this game. And As for the Thunder, their arrow man Kevin Durant shot 50% in the first quarter, 66.7% in the second quarter, 60% in the third quarter, and scored 27 points in three quarters. Kobe's 18 points were redeemed, so the Lakers are behind, and it's a matter of course."

"Then how can the Lakers solve the current predicament?" Meteor Shower asked.

"Attack, strengthen the offense, because until now, the defense can't defend against the Thunder, so we must fill the gap with scoring." Zhang Weiping said.

"Why can't you defend? Could you please explain?" Meteor Shower said.

"The main reason is that the two teams now have different offensive priorities." Zhang Weiping said: "The Lakers Kobe doesn't feel good, and the points are not as good as Kevin Durant. This has increased the pressure on the Lakers inside. But the Thunder The team's interior defense is extremely strong. In front of Ibaka and Perkins, the Lakers Twin Towers can hardly take advantage of it. Moreover, the main function of the Thunder's interior is defense, and they rarely take the initiative to attack. It is not easy to make up and come back. But at this time, the Lakers' outside line cannot guard against the Thunder's outside line. Ci Shiping and Fisher were stunned by double-doubles. This made it difficult for the Lakers to score, while the Thunder scored easily. .In this situation, the score is behind, that is a very normal thing."

"It turns out that's the case. It looks like the Lakers are a bit overwhelmed in this game." Meteor Shower said.

"Yes, if the Lakers can't open up the offensive end, then the game will be suspended."

……

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kobe entered the mad attack mode. Unfortunately, after scoring 2 goals in a row, he missed 4 shots and his shooting percentage dropped to freezing point again.As for Gasol and Bynum, they were both stunned by Ibaka. Each of them had a big cap, which directly crushed the offensive momentum of the Lakers inside.At the end of the game with 4 minutes and 30 seconds left, the Lakers trailed by 14 points, 74-88, and head coach Mike Brown called a timeout.

He could tell that this match was hopeless.

……

"Oh, the Lakers have changed players, Director Zhang, does this count as giving up the game?" Meteor Shower said loudly.

"The substitution at this time should be a surrender." Zhang Weiping said: "But it's no wonder that the Lakers have played 5 games in 4 days. For an aging team, the load is really too big."

……

After a quick change, the Lakers put on a full bench lineup, Steve Blake, Troy Murphy, Jason Kapono, Matt Barnes, and Tang Qian.Upon seeing this, the Thunder also withdrew most of their main players, leaving only one Kendrick Perkins on the field.

The thunder team's on-site commentator and DJ were also relaxed, as if the game had lost its suspense.

The Lakers attacked, Troy Murphy made a three-pointer from the outside, dang~, the basketball hit the iron.

Kendrick Perkins grabs the defensive rebound.

Kendrick Perkins is nicknamed "Two Fatty". Although he is only 6 feet 10 inches tall, he is extremely heavy. By the 2011-2012 season, his weight has soared to a terrifying weight of 288.9 pounds. He has a big waist and is most suitable for sports and sports. With a tall and thin inside line, one of the big meat shields in the active NBA.

And this kind of meat shield insider is Tang Qian's most troublesome opponent right now.

Losing 35-40 pounds of meat is not a joke in the inside of the NBA!

It means that you will be subject to great resistance if you are stuck and want to be in a position.

This rebound was like this. Kendrick Perkins had no intention of jumping at all. He directly held Tang Qian behind him, and then reached out to pick up the rebound that was about to hit the ground.

In terms of game experience, he won the NBA championship in 07~08 with the Celtics. He is definitely not lacking, but very rich.

brush~
"Future No. [-] point guard" James Harden made a one-stop backcourt, directly tore through the Lakers' defense, and then made a layup with a master.

74-90, the point difference widened again, reaching as many as 16 points.

At this moment, there are still 3 minutes and 59 seconds before the end of the fourth quarter.

Turning around, Troy Murphy of the Lakers made another three-pointer, bang~, the basketball still failed to fall into the Oklahoma City Thunder's basket.

The rebound was again protected by the Thunder, Perkins blocked Tang Qian's way, and then teammate Cole Aldridge got the defensive rebound.

Tang Qian wanted to block James Harden's layup, but unfortunately he failed, because James Harden this season is no longer an ordinary substitute.Averaged 16.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, fully showing his star potential.However, the stronger his ability is, the less likely he is to stay with the Thunder in the future.Don't look at the NBA as a sports league, but everyone knows the truth of "being famous as soon as possible", and everyone knows it well.After all, athletes are not like actors or singers. After the age of 30 to 40, they can continue to strive for their careers. An ordinary NBA player in his early 30s means that he is not far from retirement. Only a few superstars and superstars can extend their careers. One's own sports career will not end the professional sports life too early.But even so, 40 years old is the limit. Even if you want to play as a substitute in the NBA after 40 years old, it will be even more difficult.

Evergreen trees like "Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are really rare.

So if the Thunder don't give Harden a big contract, it's definitely a matter of time before the latter leaves.

Don't talk about loyalty, that's the treatment only superstars have, and that's the morality that is imposed on superstars. Ordinary young players, if they don't get a few big contracts while they are young, what will they eat when they are old?

brush~
James Harden scored another goal, 74-92, with a gap of 18 points, 3 minutes and 30 seconds, the game was almost a foregone conclusion.

"I said you, don't keep flying kites outside, okay!!! You are a big man, can you go inside??? It feels like shit, and you keep shooting, so shameless!!!" Ma Te. Barnes yelled at Troy Murphy when he caught him.

Troy Murphy saw that it was Barnes, so he didn't argue, but the anger in his eyes didn't decrease at all.

It's not that he's not angry, he's just enduring it.

"Yeah, Troy, I was empty just now, why didn't you pass the ball?" Jason Kapono also walked over and said.

"Pass it to you? Do you deserve it? Just because you are a past three-pointer?" Troy Murphy was not so polite to Jason Kapoor, and said directly: "Just you poor The 3-point shooting percentage, if it is passed to you, it is a free pass, so I might as well do it myself!"

"You..." Jason Kapono blushed and became extremely angry.

As the winner of the NBA All-Star Three-Point Long Shot Contest for two consecutive years, Jason Kapono has always been extremely proud of his three-point ability.But unfortunately, his long-range shooting skills have declined greatly in recent years. By last season, his three-point shooting percentage, which used to be as high as 51.4%, had fallen to the bottom, leaving only a pitiful 12.5%. Abandoning it has become a reasonable thing.So it was not unreasonable for Troy Murphy to laugh at him.

"Forget it, let's talk less, we are in the game now." Tang Qian saw several teammates "tattling with swords", so he had to come over to persuade him.Unexpectedly, this time, as if touching Troy Murphy's sensitive nerves, he turned his gun and began to shoot at Tang Qian: "Chinaman, what qualifications do you have to come here to talk? Based on your recent performance, I can see from the distance Getting fired is not far away!"

"What did you say?" Tang Qian frowned and said.

"I said you swallowed zero eggs, and your scoring ability is very worrying! Did you hear clearly this time?" Troy Murphy has also received some rumors recently, so his attitude towards the Chinese in front of him has become more and more bad.

"Did I offend you?" Tang Qian asked.

"No." Troy Murphy said.

"Then why are you targeting me like this?" Tang Qian asked again.

"It's nothing, it's just that I don't like you, oh, I'm sorry, I look down on you!" Troy Murphy said arrogantly, with an obvious attack.

"It turns out to be like this, okay, I understand." Tang Qian was beyond Murphy's expectations. He was neither angry nor angry, but just nodded lightly and said, "Since I haven't offended you, and since you are targeting me on purpose, then I won't be shy either."

"I'm usually a very reasonable person, but I don't mind being unreasonable for things that are deliberately provocative and finding fault."

"What did you say? How dare you say that I'm a 'thing'? You kid is still on the sidelines, right?" Troy Murphy has long been displeased with Tang Qian, and immediately exploded.

"Don't talk too much, just keep your eyes open." Tang Qian said in a flat voice.

"China guy, I think you're looking for a fight, right?" Troy Murphy said with a fierce look on his face because he was a veteran of the alliance.

Who knew that Tang Qian didn't even bother to take a look, so he turned to Matt Barnes beside him and said, "Matt, pass the ball to me later."

"Send more."

"Okay, I'm happy to help." Matt Barnes agreed with a smile.

"Dog boy, how dare you ignore me??? I..." Troy Murphy was about to yell, but at this time Matt Barnes walked past him and softly threw out a sentence Said:
"How dare you provoke Hot? Your head is really squeezed by the door! If I were you, I would immediately catch up and apologize, understand?"

Apologize?Still chasing after?
Troy Murphy's self-esteem was blazing and said: "Absolutely impossible! After this game is over, I must teach him how to behave in the Los Angeles Lakers!!!"

"Really?" Matt Barnes had sympathy in his eyes when he heard that.

"I hope you don't regret it."

Matt Barnes said somewhat meaningfully.
