Chapter 229 The Showdown of the Shot King

"Teacher Yang Yi, the Lakers will end their regular season with two more games this season. Do you think Tang Qian and Kobe will be able to win the honor of the king of the single list?" Meteor Rain sat in the studio and asked road.

"It's not impossible for Kobe. After all, the gap is very small, and a high score can solve the problem. But Tang Qian, it's hard to say. Judging from the available data, if you want to surpass the number one Purcell Ji Ibaka, then he needs to get a total of 17 blocks in the remaining two games, that is to say, in the last two games, Tang Qian has to contribute 8.5 blocks per game." Shaking his head, he said slowly, "What do you think is the probability that this kind of data will be completed?"

"In other words, it is impossible for Tang Qian to win the NBA block leader this season, right, teacher Yang Yi?" Meteor Rain said.

"It can't be said so absolutely, after all, there is still a theoretical possibility, isn't there?" Yang Yi replied.

Los Angeles, Staples Center.

When the two sides were still warming up, Tang Qian felt a sharp gaze from behind him, shooting directly at him.

He looked back, and who was that person if he wasn't No. 9 of the Thunder?

Serge Ibaka, do you need to be so impatient?

Tang Qian silently slandered in his heart.

This cannot be blamed on Ibaka. He was born in September 89, and he is only 9 years old now. As a young man, it is normal for him to hide his vigor.And there are incentive payments in Ibaka's contract. If he can get the NBA block leader this season, then he will get a lot of money.

Therefore, for this "Cheng Yaojin" who suddenly appeared, he had great vigilance and hostility in his heart.

Hmph, Chinaman, tonight I will show you what is the demeanor of the NBA shot-blocking king!

Just wait and see!
Ibaka looked at No. 29 on the opposite side and thought hard in his heart.

"Sophia, why did you buy such a place at the back? Not to mention the first row, at least the first three rows!" In the fourth row of the audience at the Staples Center, a girl with golden brown hair was standing He curled his lips and complained.

"Cestine, it's not easy to buy temporary tickets for the Lakers, not to mention that this game has attracted a lot of attention. It's lucky to be able to buy this seat!"

"Hmph, it's too far, I don't like far!" Sestin said with a little temper.

A pair of daughters of the Stallone family have come to the Staples Center to cheer for the Lakers, or the number 29 of the Lakers.

The Lakers' starting lineup for this game is PG Ramon Sessions, SG Kobe Bryant, SF Mercy World Peace, PF Paul Gasol, and C Andrew Bynum.The Thunder's starting lineup for this game is, PG Russell Westbrook, SG Thabo Sefolosha, SF Kevin Durant, PF Kendrick Perkins, C Sergey Perkins .

The two sides scrambled for the ball, the Lakers took the lead in getting the ball, Kobe threw the first ball, Duang~, it ended.

The Thunder protected the defensive rebound, and then Kevin Durant broke through and scored. Serge Ibaka made a one-handed dunk.

The Oklahomans took the lead for the first time.

The Lakers returned quickly. Pau Gasol made a pass from the free throw line, and Ci Shiping made a backhand layup from the baseline. 2-2, the two teams drew.

The Thunder's Sofolosha failed to break through, and the dribble was intercepted by Ci Shiping.

After Metta Shiping dribbled the ball for halftime, he passed the ball to Kobe. Kobe and Gasol passed the ball back hand in hand, and the former scored the point with a three-step layup.The Lakers 4-2, leading the score.But no one thought that this goal was Kobe's first and last goal in the first quarter.

Under the two-man defense of Thabo Sefoloza and Kevin Durant, Kobe's shooting percentage dropped sharply. Throughout the first quarter until the end of the game, he scored a total of 3 points and made 5 of 1 shots. He made 2 of 1 free throws, and the overall shooting percentage was very unfavorable.

Starting from this season, whenever the Lakers hit the Thunder, they will be deflated most of the time.

From Kobe to Sessions, no one has a high shooting percentage. The team's total shooting percentage of 36.4% is enough to illustrate this point.In contrast to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the team's total shooting percentage in the first quarter was as high as 45%, which was close to a 10 percentage point advantage in shooting percentage, which made the Thunder "head-on" the Lakers who were playing at home in the first quarter.

Tang Qian also got 2 minutes of playing time and 3 rebounds in the first quarter.

The score was 20-26 in the first quarter, and the Lakers trailed by 6 points.

In the second quarter, the main players of the Lakers were still in a slump, but Matt Barnes and Jordan Hill played super efficient. The Lakers scored 27-26 in a single quarter, with a total score of 47-52, and entered the halftime break.Tang Qian played 3 minutes and got 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.Here I want to mention Tang Qian's "king opponent" Serge Ibaka. After halftime, this gentleman angrily scored 3 blocks, 7 rebounds and 12 points. With a comprehensive and perfect performance, he almost completely suppressed Tang Qian. latent.

Seeing this, domestic basketball post bars and basketball forums are boiling.

"What is Tang Qian doing? The data has been completely suppressed by Ibaka! Does he still want the honor of block king?"

"This is his true level. If it weren't for ESPN's hype before the game, how could he be compared with Serge Ibaka at the same level? One is a main player and the other is a substitute player. Not an ounce at all, okay!"

"Hey, it seems that my expectations for Tang Qian are too high. Facing Ibaka who is fully developed, he is still too weak!"

"Forget it, it turns out that Tang Qian is just an ordinary substitute player. If you insist on pushing him to the main position for comparison, you will only be humiliating yourself! This is very similar to Ramon Sessions!"

For some fans, a little setback will shake their hearts and make them unable to stick to their original intention.

Lakers, somewhere in the fourth row of the Staples Center auditorium.

"Sophia, why does Tang Qian have so little playing time? Could it be that he has no status in the Lakers?" Sestin asked anxiously while sitting in his seat.

"Tang Qian is just a regular rotation player now, so his playing time is limited, which is normal. It's just that in this game, he may be under pressure. He was forced to face Serge Ibaka by ESPN. His The situation is very bad." Sophia is a basketball fan herself, so when it comes to analyzing issues, she is much more detailed and in-depth than Sestin.

"Ah, what should I do? Could it be that Tang Qian can't do that big black fool?" Sestin said a little "naively".

"Well, right now, it's very difficult for Tang Qian to defeat Serge Ibaka." Sofia said with a little worry.

ESPN Live Room.

"Isiah, with all due respect, is this the only Chinese kid you're optimistic about?" Brad Doherty said, "If that's the case, your vision is too bad."

"What are you in a hurry for? Brad!" Isiah Thomas said: "Isn't there still a second half left?"

"Okay~ Then I'll wait for the remaining 24 minutes." Brad Doherty deliberately spread his hands in front of Thomas.

Lakers locker room.

"Come on everyone, it's not difficult to kill the Thunder!" Mike Brown cheered in the locker room, but obviously, the effect was not good.

The lack of offensive tactics makes the team under the leadership of Mike Brown very poor at key shots. If it weren't for the Lakers and Kobe Bryant, it is almost impossible to squeeze into the top four in the Western Conference of the playoffs.

"Bryant, you need to strengthen your personal offense later. The team needs someone to open up the outside line!" After speaking, Mike Brown said again: "Bynum, you also need to increase your low-post attack. The Thunder's center Only 6 feet 10 inches tall, you just have to hit him with your hands and feet, don't be afraid!"

"The rest of the team revolved around Bryant and Bynum to attack, using internal and external tactics to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder at home in one fell swoop!"

What kind of tactic is this?Wasn't that how it was done in the first half?What's the point of being immutable?
Tang Qian has no expectations for Mike Brown's offense. He is a defensive head coach, and his offensive and defensive ratio is seriously out of balance.

There's no other way, I really can't, I just...

……

This battle is of great significance to the Lakers, not only the gimmicks rendered by ESPN, but also the pressure to keep the top four in the West.The Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Clippers behind him are very close to him. If he is not careful, he will fall directly from No. 5 in the West to No. [-]. It is not impossible.And the fifth place in the Western Conference means that they will lose their home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, which is more of a blow to the morale of the Los Angeles Lakers than a reality blow.

Therefore, Tang Qian didn't care so much in order to win.

PS: Thank you Hulu God for your great rewards~
