Chapter 227

Before that, Tang Qian checked his personal "reserves".

Completion of the challenge mission, Bronze Completion, rewards a Bronze Cap Card.

Task card task is completed, reward a bronze defensive rebound card.

The effect of the Bronze Block Card does not need to be repeated. The effect of the Bronze Defensive Rebound Card is that you can get 12 defensive rebounds in a game, which does not overlap with the previous number of defensive rebounds.

These two cards are good things. Now that the Lakers are about to hit the playoffs, they urgently need to improve their bench strength. I must make good use of them!Tang Qian read silently in his heart.

On April 4th, the Lakers played against the Mavericks at home, but Tang Qian was destined to be disappointed.

Because tonight, "Northern King" Nowitzki felt uncomfortable in his right knee, so he will not appear in the game against the Lakers.

This year's Mavericks have a very weak record, and they don't look like the defending champion team at all.

34 wins and 26 losses, this is their current regular season record, temporarily ranked seventh in the West.

Why is it going down so fast?This is mainly because most of the winning members of last season left Dallas.Looking at the Mavericks lineup last season, the starting lineup is Nowitzki, Kidd, Chandler, Marion, Stevenson, and the main bench is Terry, Barea, Peja Stojakovic , This is the lineup after the team's second-leading scorer Caron Butler was reimbursed for the season.Not to mention the star-studded, giants everywhere, that is super reasonable, and the outside shooting ability is so strong that it is scary.And this season?Caron Butler, Tyson Chandler, Jose Barea, and Deshaun Stevenson all left the team, and sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic also announced his retirement. The season's championship lineup fell apart, so from the beginning of the season to the present, the Mavericks have not been relieved.

Moreover, the decline in the personal ability of the German tank "Nuotianwang" is also an unavoidable and important factor.

After winning the championship last season, Nowitzki's main personal data is that he averaged 23 points, 7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, and his shooting percentage reached its peak, 51.7%.The playoffs were even more frightening, not to mention the average scoring increased to 27.7 points, and the three-point shooting percentage reached a terrifying 46%!This kind of shooting efficiency is almost unmatched among 7-footers, and it is absolutely comparable to the "Big Bird" Larry Bird back then.It's a pity that this season, Nowitzki's competitive state has suffered a major decline, especially in the playoffs against the Thunder, and his shooting percentage is only 44.2%. What about the three-point shooting percentage?Even worse, only a miserable 16.7%, and the championship season, almost completely different.

Therefore, from the beginning of the season, ESPN excluded the Mavericks from the first championship sequence.

In this game, due to the absence of the team leader, the Lakers easily ran over the Mavericks, adding another victory to their regular season record.For the Lakers, Kobe scored 28 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal, and Anzhu scored 23 points, 16 rebounds and 2 assists, but the shooting percentage was low, only 24 of 9 shots, and the shooting percentage was 37.5%.Pau Gasol had 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, Metta Shiping had 18 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.The team's total rebounds and total assists are much higher than the Dallas Mavericks, and naturally winning has become a matter of course.

Tang Qian played 16 minutes and scored 3 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Behind the seemingly victory, there is also a hidden worry, that is, the playing time of the main players is too long.Except for Ramon Sessions, the other four played more than 40 minutes. This situation showed that Mike Brown's mentality was a little out of balance.In order to keep the fourth place in the regular season, he even ignored the physical condition of the overdrawn main players.

In this form, it is too difficult to win the championship again this year.

Even Tang Qian, who is a member of the Lakers, is not optimistic about this.

During this period, there was also a small episode, that is, the meeting with "Emperor Yi", but because "Emperor Yi" did not get a chance to play in the whole game, the "Chinese Derby" was declared a failure.

No wonder domestic fans have forgotten him, he is too introverted in the NBA!
Although Tang Qian met him for the first time, he could tell at a glance that his relationship with his teammates was not harmonious.

The No. 6 high pick, joining the NBA league with a high profile, but can only end sadly in the end, this kind of feeling is definitely not good.

In fact, this is the second time he has returned to the NBA. Unfortunately, in more than 4 months, the Mavericks have not given him much playing time, and it can even be said that it is pitifully small.So Tang Qian could see fatigue in him. After this season, he should leave the NBA completely.

As a Chinese player, Tang Qian didn't want to laugh at the other party, because he personally believed that "Yi Di" still had NBA-level personal ability, but because of his personality and style of play, he failed to rise like Yao Ming and become a player. China's new flag in the NBA.

Two days later, as expected, the Lakers suffered a major defeat at home against the San Antonio Spurs, losing the game with a total score of 91-112. The hidden dangers of the "old team" have gradually become more and more prominent.Tang Qian performed well in this game. After consuming a bronze defensive card, he got 2 points, 7 rebounds, 6 blocks and 1 steal.But even so, it cannot restore the fact that the Lakers were defeated.

On April 4, moved to the Oracle Arena, back to back against the Golden State Warriors.

Still because of the injuries of the main players, the Warriors were vulnerable tonight, and the Lakers took the victory by 12 points.Golden State ranked third from the bottom in the West this season, and has definitely missed the ranks of the playoffs.

Tang Qian completed another "different space" task in this game and got a bronze power booster card.

I thought I could take advantage of this big victory to adjust the morale of the team, but in the next game, I ran into the San Antonio Spurs again.There is nothing to say, the Lakers lost by a big score, 97-121, and lost their opponent by 24 points.

After the game, Kobe couldn't help but "bombard" the team. He publicly said that the team's defense was too bad, which is not what a championship team should have at all.Faced with the "bombardment" of the leading star, Mike Brown said that Kobe's words were too exaggerated. He said that one game can't explain anything, and the Spurs team is full of hands, with a shooting percentage of 61%. It is impossible for a team to win.

The discord between the generals has faintly appeared on the paper.

Domestically, some Lakers fans also helped find excuses:

"I ran into the Spurs three times in a month. This is too bad luck. Anyone who changes it will have to vomit blood!"

"After all, the Spurs are the No. 3 seed in the league. Winning one out of three games is enough. The playoffs are king!"

"That's right, my goal for the season is the championship! If you lose in the regular season, you lose. It's no big deal!"

Although they said so in their mouths, most Lakers fans had a bad premonition in their hearts.

On April 4, the Lakers finally returned to their home court in Los Angeles. At eight o'clock this evening, they will face the second team in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder, at the Staples Center.

This is an eye-catching battle, because according to the existing playoff seats, the two teams are likely to meet in the second round of the playoffs.

There is no doubt that this game is broadcast live across the United States and broadcast on one station by ESPN.

Before the game, ESPN, as usual, "rendered" the game to a certain extent.

Kobe VS Durant, the battle of the scoring champion, needless to say, must be ranked first in the "rendering".

Unexpectedly, this game, Tang Qian, was also listed by ESPN on the "rendering" list.

The name is: The league's block king battle, China Hot VS Serge Ibaka!
"Hot, congratulations, you've been featured on ESPN's pre-match promotional poster! This is a great thing to increase exposure!" Ci Shiping came over early in the morning to "teasing" Tang Qian.

"What a good thing this is. Tomorrow's game, Serge Ibaka will definitely fight me to death!" Tang Qian shook his head with a wry smile and said, he has also seen this publicity stunt, it can be called " Do whatever it takes."What is a war under the basket? Who is more MAN, Tang Qian or Serge Ibaka?What does it mean who is the rim protector, and the loser will withdraw from this season's contest for the block king?What is a long-standing grievance, a destined duel between a Chinese center and a Congolese center?What do you mean... these "flashy" publicity renderings, Lao Mei has done no worse than domestic ones!

"What are you afraid of!" Ci Shiping heard this, patted Tang Qian's chest and said, "Show off your masculinity and let Serge Ibaka be convinced! Basketball is originally a game where male animals are full of competition." Exercise!"

"Uh, Mehta, I have to say that sometimes your speech is really...disgusting!" Tang Qian also teased Ci Shiping, and he obviously felt that since returning to the team this time, most of the Lakers players There has been a subtle change in my attitude towards myself.

It seems to have become a little more respectful than before...

Compared with the United States, the domestic analysis of this game is more detailed.

"The average scoring gap between Kobe and Durant is only 0.1 points. Before the end of the season, anyone may aspire to be the scoring champion!"

"I support KD. After all, he is the scoring champion for two consecutive times. This year, there is a possibility of a three-consecutive championship!"

"I still support Kobe. He averaged 35+ per game this season, which is definitely proof of the strongest scorer in the post-Jordan era!"

……

"Tang Qian and Serge Ibaka fight, who do you like?"

"Of course it's Serge Ibaka. This year, the Congo slugger is the same as taking drugs. He averaged 3.7 blocks per game, topping the entire league! Although Tang Qian is strong, he's still a bit short!"

"Well, I also support Ibaka, but it's not because Tang Qian's ability to block shots is not strong, it's just that Ibaka is too strong this season! Anyone who comes, it is difficult to equal him! The average number of blocks per game in 27 minutes is 3.7 times, 36 blocks in 4.8 minutes, 48 blocks in 6.5 minutes, this has reached the monster level, okay?"

"Ibaka is indeed very strong, but I am more optimistic about Tang Qian, because Tang Qian has less playing time, not even averaging 20 minutes per game, but can get 3.4 blocks, which is undoubtedly better than Serge Iba Isn't it more efficient to block caps?"

"That's right, I also support Tanguy. If he plays as many minutes as Ibaka, then the average blocks per game will surpass the latter, which is absolutely appropriate!"

"Come on, why are you Tang Mi so thick-skinned! You are more efficient at blocking shots! Please keep your eyes open and see the distribution of playing time between him and Ibaka! A player who faces most of the time It's the opponent's main lineup, what about the other one? Most of the time, it's missing from the substitute lineup! It's interesting to compare the average block data like this? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. Even so, Tang Squib's average blocks per game Still not as good as Serge Ibaka! I'm so sorry."

"It's 'Tang Qian is a Squib' here. Tang Qian can be found wherever there is Tang Qian. This person is so professional!"

"Who says it's not? He's even more diligent than our Tang Mi!"

"Hey, but to be honest, what he said is not unreasonable!"

……

"Just because he deserves to be compared with Serge? What a stupid analogy!" The Suns' starting center Marcin Gortat made a public statement, supporting the Thunder's Ibaka to win the NBA season's block leader.

"Marcin is right, this is not a combination of levels at all! There is no comparison at all!" Rockets starting center Samuel Dalembert expressed solidarity with Marcin Gortat.

……

"Hot, Sestin and I will go to the Staples Center to cheer you up tonight!"

"That's right, it's hot, let's play hard and get rid of that Serge Ibaka!"

Since April 4nd is a Sunday in the United States, Sophia and Sestin bought tickets one after another to go to the scene to cheer for Tang Qian.

……

"Oh, mom, don't worry, I won't get hurt so easily~" Before going out, Tang Qian and Tang's mother and Tang's father "guaranteed".

"Well, don't try too hard, after all, it's just playing basketball!" Mother Tang touched Tang Qian's head with some distress.

"Got it, Mom, I'll take care of it myself." Tang Qian nodded and said.

PS: The next season in the NBA is going to be full of wind and clouds. A large number of big players will gather together. Although it looks like a luxurious lineup, in fact, ordinary teams don’t need to play. There are only a few teams in the league!Alas, I hope Xiao Hua can control this situation a little bit, otherwise it will be harmful to the NBA league after a long time. After all, every team has star players, and this is the kingly way for the healthy development of the league.Otherwise, it will become the same as MLB, where a few strong teams are competing and other teams are training partners, that would be embarrassing.By the way, the future is to let all urban teams "equally benefit", at least to give ordinary teams a little hope of competing for the championship, everyone is right.

The above are all Xiaozi's personal opinions. Anyway, Xiaozi thinks that a fierce battle between heroes is more interesting than changing the emperor in a strong team.

Finally, thanks to wuxiin**** for the big monthly ticket~Thanks to Hulu God for the big reward~ This is the first update, and there will be more updates in the evening~
