Chapter 157 Fighting "Hai Ye"
The Sacramento Kings joined the NBA very early, but except for its predecessor, the Rochester Royals, which won an NBA championship, there has been no breakthrough in 60 years. At the beginning of the 21st century, the Kings in their heyday had a chance to win the O'Brien Cup. Unfortunately, they were unlucky and met OK, the strongest internal and external combination in history. Since then, the Kings' results have been lukewarm.However, in recent years, the Kings have shown a trend of revival. Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins, this young combination of inside and outside, began to gradually bloom in Sacramento.The former, in particular, showed a strong momentum almost as soon as he joined the league. In the first year, he was able to hit 20+5+5 All-Star level data, which can be called the "new king" of Sacramento.

But Tang Qian understood that this guy is the type of player who is "the rookie is the pinnacle".

What is "the rookie is the pinnacle"?There are two explanations for this, one is commendatory and the other is derogatory. Unfortunately, Tyreke Evans is the latter.After hitting a rookie perfect data of 20+5+5 in the first year, his competitive state has been declining all the way. Last season, he has dropped to an average of 17+4+5 per game. What about this season?worse!Up to now, the average can only contribute 16+4+4 per game. This kind of slowly degraded performance has scared the top management of the Kings.Hearing the rumors, the general manager of the team has already started to plan secretly. This "new king" may soon "abdicate to the virtuous".

Some people complained about him, but injuries and positioning have always been problems for professional players throughout their careers. If they are not handled well, no one can blame others, but themselves.And the "new king" that the team executives are going to praise is DeMarcus Cousins, who entered the league a year after Tyreke.It should be mentioned here that compared to Tyreke Evans, who is "a rookie is the pinnacle", DeMarcus Cousins ​​has a completely different development trend. He only averaged 14.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game in his first year , 1.4 steals, and 0.8 blocks, the data changed drastically in the second year.So far, Cousins ​​has averaged 18+11 per game, including 1.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks. He is a good embryo for a future star center.The most frightening thing is that after completing this step of improvement, his average playing time only increased by 2 minutes, from 28.5 to 30.5. With such potential, it is no wonder that the top management of the Kings will make up their minds and replace the "King" again.This is definitely a good move, because as far as Tang Qian remembers, he will eventually grow into a super insider in the league, with a level of 25+12, no problem.

But now Cousins ​​is only a second-year student, and his strength is not bad. As for the title of superstar, it is not his turn, and he dare not think too much about it.

In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers had an offensive climax. Under the leadership of Kobe, they led the Kings 31-26 by 5 points. Among them, Kobe Bryant scored 13 points and shot 8 of 5, which was very beautiful.In the second quarter, Kings veteran Francisco Garcia made 4 of 4 shots and 2 free throws. He scored 11 points and led the Kings to counterattack. Stop the opponent's wave of points.With a total score of 34-32 in the first half, the Lakers led by seven points into the second half.

……

"Teacher Yang Yi, how do you think the two teams played in the first half?" Meteor Shower asked.

"The Lakers are playing normally. Kobe has 20 points, Bynum has 11 points, and Gasol has 10 points. As usual, these three scored more than half of the Lakers' points. The Kings are a little weird." After Yang Yi finished, He stopped on purpose.

Meteor Shower immediately knew what to do, and said without hesitation: "I don't know what Teacher Yang Yi means?"

"Look, the two core members of the Kings only scored 18 points combined, but Marcus Thornton and Garcia scored 12 points alone and 11 points alone. It's very abnormal." Yang Yi said: "If these two played normally, the Kings would be behind the Lakers, and it wouldn't be single digits."

"So, you mean, they all performed beyond their normal limits?"

"Yes, the reason why we say extraordinary is that it is an unstable state that is difficult to continue. So in the second half, if Tyreke and Cousins ​​don't recover, then I think it will be difficult to win this game. Marcus Thornton is fine. After all, he is in good shape and young this season, but it is hard to say for Francisco Garcia. His average data this season is only 4.8 points per game, and his field goal percentage is 37.6%. We really can't expect more from him."

"What about Tang Qian? Do you have any expectations for him?"

"Expectation? Let's talk about it first." Yang Yi said.

……

In the third quarter, it was still Kobe's personal show, with 11 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, which directly defeated the Kings' counterattack.The overflowing "prophecy" has come true. For a full 12 minutes, the Kings only scored 16 points, far behind the Lakers' 27 points in a single quarter.Looking at the total shot data of the two sides, the Kings took 29 shots and the Lakers 24 shots. The former took 5 more shots than the latter, but they were suppressed by the Lakers because of their shooting percentage. Thornton and DeMarcus Cousins ​​were the biggest "sinners". One was 4 for 0 shots and the other was 9 for 0 shots, which directly lowered the total shooting percentage of the Kings.

In the third quarter, the total shooting percentage was 50% to 20.7%, 92-74. The Los Angeles Lakers led by 18 points in the third quarter, which can be said to be a sure thing.

In less than 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Kings' "last struggle" was extinguished by Kobe. He scored 7 points in a row, which directly made the Kings lose hope of catching up with the score.Seeing this, the head coaches of the two teams began to change players one after another, removing the main players and putting on substitutes. Because professional games are different from ordinary amateur games, the NBA schedule is dense and long, so since there is no hope of winning, it is important to protect the main players. The common choice of the team's head coach.

Even with a shortened season, there are 66 games to play, and losing one is not a big deal.

If you don't understand this, it is impossible to be the head coach of an NBA team.

Troy Murphy was in mediocre form in this game. He only made one of his five shots, but fortunately he grabbed six rebounds, which is not too embarrassing.

After changing players, the main force of the Lakers team was removed, and the players on the field became Steve Blake, Andrew Goodlock, Tang Qian, Matt Barnes, and Luke Walton.For the Kings, there are Francisco Garcia, John Salmons, Jimmer Fredette, Dante Green, and Chuck Hayes.

All substitutes vs. all substitutes.

Looking at the short and sturdy figure opposite, Tang Qian said, "Master Hai, I'm sorry, I'm going to complete this challenge in front of you today."

According to the "calendar board", there are four levels of completion, 1 is unqualified, the challenge is judged to be failed, 2 is bronze completion, 3 is silver completion, 4 is gold completion.But what is the specific dividing line, "Different Space" is too lazy to explain to Tang Qian as usual.

It's all up to you to figure it out.

Tang Qian's main opponent is Dante Green, a first-round pick from 2008, 6 feet 11 inches tall, 226 pounds, and a black player born in Germany.Tang Qian has a little impression of this person, why, because in the future he will set foot on the far east and become a CBA player.Faced with this center forward who is not as tall as him in weight, Tang Qian is full of confidence. Tonight's "statistics" plan should go relatively smoothly.

Facts have proved that Tang Qian was right. Dante Green, who averaged 5.4 points and 2.5 rebounds per game this season, is not Tang Qian's opponent at all, so soon, Tang Qian scored 7 rebounds and 2 assists. , There are nearly 4 minutes left, work hard, "full target data" should not be a big problem.

But at this moment, the Kings switched defenses on the inside, transferred Dante Green, and the main defender of Tang Qian became Chuck Hayes.

It seems a bit exaggerated. After all, the height difference between the two is more than 15 centimeters, but this is commonplace for Hayes. Anyway, most of the inside players he defends are a lot taller than him. As time goes by, On the contrary, he found out some unique defensive experience.Seeing the huge dislocation formed inside, Blake decisively stuffed the basketball into Tang Qian's hands.

Then the Lakers scattered and pulled away, as if they wanted to create space for Tang Qian's singles.

Want me to play singles?Or singles Haiye?Tang Qian was a little confused. Although Hayes's statistics are very average, but his single defense is very good. "Warcraft" Howard and "White Warcraft" Griffin have both suffered in his hands. .So if you underestimate him because of his low stats, the consequences will be serious.Tang Qian is very clear about his offensive ability. It is okay to play a single in NBDL, but it is more difficult to deal with in the NBA, let alone facing "Hai Ye" Hayes, who is one of the defensive masters?But the arrow is on the string and has to be launched. Such a good opportunity, I don't know when it will be the next time I get it, so after thinking about it for a while, Tang Qian decided to attack one by himself and give it a try.

Tang Qian tentatively slapped the opponent on the back, and the result was astonishing.

He can't stand the opponent? ? ?

What kind of order is this?Is it too safe?
Tang Qian currently weighs 245 pounds, what about Hayes?This season's value is 244 pounds, which is only 1 pound behind Tang Qian.But don't forget that he is much shorter than Tang Qian, so there is no doubt that he is far superior to Tang Qian in terms of physical strength.Although Hayes' bench press is only 130 kg or 287 pounds, his lower body strength is very abnormal. Of course, this is also related to his short height, so his center of gravity is low.However, defending against a person against a person is originally a technical move that tests more on the bottom plate, so although "Hai Ye" is short, he stands up to a person without ambiguity at all, and does not suffer at all.

This... This guy is a monster!
For the first time, this is the first time Tang Qian has encountered a player who is less than 2 meters tall.

In an instant, he felt the dilemma of Howard and Griffin. If they couldn't move their backs, they could only rely on technology to overcome them. But with their current technology... there is no time to think about it, so they can only try it!

As if he had seen Tang Qian's plan a long time ago, Hayes felt the wind under his feet, and he didn't give Tang Qian any room or space to turn around. This time, the advantage of the short inside line was reflected again.Compared with the seven-foot tall insider, his 6-foot-6 insider figure is more flexible and agile. Coupled with years of rich defensive experience, it is not difficult to restrain Tang Qian.

Seeing that it was about to attack for three seconds, Tang Qian had no choice but to forcefully turn around and shoot, but in doing so, he fell right into Hayes' arms.Turning around and cutting the ball, "Hai Ye" showed another unique secret skill. His move is fast, precise and ruthless. His cutting and turning skills are not top-notch insiders. He can cut 10~6 out of 7. Look at "Warcraft" Howard, It's just an example. When "Hai Ye" wanted to play around, he was frequently cut, which made him extremely depressed.

slap~
As soon as Tang Qian turned around, he felt his palm was empty. He looked down and saw that the orange basketball had disappeared at some point.

"Oriental, do you want to hit me single? That's almost." Hayes walked in front of Tang Qian and smiled slightly.

PS: I saw someone sending me a private message asking me, so Xiaozi will say it again here, as a person who has played on a college team (of course, Xiaozi is just the ultimate drinking fountain player, and basically has no chance to play), he can be very responsible Let me tell you, bench press does not equal strength.The previous article also made it very clear that strength can be quantified, but it cannot be confused. If it is really subdivided and there are many types, the bench press is just one of the representative data of upper body strength, and it cannot represent the overall strength attribute.Of course, if you play basketball, it’s good to have a high number of bench presses, but basketball is not about weightlifting or fitness. Core strength and lower body strength are also crucial, and there are also the feeling and rhythm of exerting force, instant explosive power, etc., in basketball. , comprehensive strength is the key, otherwise many people in the gym who can surpass them can sweep the court and play professional basketball?You can't generalize, cover your face with a few points!

"Hai Ye"'s specialty is top defense, stalking, and dealing with some inside players whose post-up skills are not top-notch, it is indeed miraculous.But he also has weaknesses, and we'll find out what exactly it is later.By the way, 2 updates are also available today!The time is around 12 o'clock in the evening, Xiaozi thank you for your support!
