Chapter 297 30 points

The competitive state of this game has dropped by 12%.

"It's you, the yellow-skinned man? Are you going outside to shoot three-pointers again in this game?" Nazr Muhammad still wanted to try to provoke Tang Qiandao, but the latter was not the master of the nunnery, so he just smiled slightly: "You don't care about me What are you doing, black skin guy, no matter if I go outside or inside, if I blow you up, there is no problem at all, Do.you.understand?"

"Are you confident?" Nazr Muhammad didn't expect Tang Qian's answer to be so direct, and said with a gloomy face, "But I won't let you do it!"

"Really? That's up to you." Tang Qian said: "No matter how bad I am, if I suppress you, there is still no problem."

When Tang Qian said this, he was definitely not talking wildly. If it was Nazr Mohammed last season, he would not dare to say so full, but this season, it is completely a small case!Because this season's Nazr Mohammed has degraded too much compared to last season. Last season, he still had an ability close to 7+5. This season he directly dropped to 2+2, and the decline was so fast. The Thunder couldn't believe it.

So even if his competitive state has dropped by 12%, he still has considerable confidence against opponents of this level.

For the rest of the first quarter, Tang Qian fulfilled his words and completely suppressed Nazr Mohammed under the basket. In this way, the Thunder's rebounds suddenly lost control. For a full 3 minutes, only one was recorded. .With a lot of rebounds, the Lakers recovered a lot of points.

25-30, this is the score of the first quarter of the two teams, the Lakers are temporarily behind by 5 points.

Tang Qian scored 4 rebounds and 1 block in this quarter. Kobe played hard in the second half and scored 10 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal, followed by Gasol with 6 rebounds and 7 points.The Thunder is still the same, the Thunder's two minors took most of the team's points, Durant 8 points, Westbrook 8 points.

There is a hidden message here, that is, Kobe's defensive pressure is getting weaker and weaker.

Obviously, as the series progressed, the upper limit of Black Mamba's physical fitness began to gradually decrease.

In order to maintain the offense, the Black Mamba can only give up part of the defense. This situation was extremely rare in the previous playoffs.But in future competitions, it will become the norm, and the so-called "commanding traffic department" will gradually appear.

In the second quarter, the Thunder strengthened their defensive strength against the Lakers and improved the pace of the game, which immediately made the Los Angeles people fall into a kind of discomfort.Coupled with Derek Fisher's two consecutive three-pointers, the Lakers also felt suffocated.As for the Lakers, the offensive end was once again unable to open. The Thunder's super rotation defense made it impossible for the former to find open shots.

Don’t think that most of the time in NBA games is hand-to-hand combat, single-handed, and strong shots. If you have studied the scoring probability of the entire game, in fact, the so-called "pan-open shots" or "pan-opportunity shots" It is the big head, and it is the main segment.Wonderful shots are always a minority, and they are only a small part of the more than 80 shots.

The "Hulk" Celtics, who don't have many blocks and steals, how did they become the strongest defensive team in NBA history?
It relies on the ability to compress the opponent's "wide-open shooting" and "wide-opportunity shooting". If a game allows the opponent to shoot "no space" or "no chance", then the opponent's shooting rate will naturally drop. , This is the defensive mechanism of the "Green Devil", which extremely exploits your "spaces and opportunities" when attacking, reduces "easy.ball", and makes every shot of the opponent as difficult as possible.

Of course, the Thunder can't reach the level of the "Green Army", but relying on their super physical fitness and young physical fitness, they abruptly cut off nearly half of the Lakers' "vacancies and opportunities" tonight. In this way, the Lakers It became inevitable that the team's offense became more and more difficult.Kobe scored 8 points with great difficulty, but his opponent scored 16 points in a flash. The difficulty of that kind of attack cannot be compared between the two.

Both Thunder and Thunder broke out, especially Russell Westbrook, whose shackles finally loosened. How could he miss such an opportunity?So they took the opportunity to attack and attacked a lot, making the Lakers parry more and more frequently, and the extent of the insiders being killed was very serious.Throughout the second quarter, including Tang Qian, the Lakers fouled 6 times inside, Gasol 3 times, and him 6 times. If the number of fouls by Ci Shiping is added, there will be a total of 8 times.A lot of fouls means a lot of free throws, but tonight the Thunder's free throws were extremely accurate, making 12 of 12 free throws, not polite to the Lakers at all.

After the entire second quarter, the big score was 40-59, and the Lakers fell behind by 19 points.

The cheering atmosphere of the fans at the scene gradually became low.

Tang Qian played very mediocre in the second quarter. After the Thunder replaced Ibaka + Perkins, he and Gasol did not take advantage of it. , was controlled everywhere, and was bullied at every step.Obviously, the morale and state of the entire Thunder team are up tonight, so Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins have played beyond their regular season strength.

It is only natural that Tang Qian and Gasol were suppressed.

After all, in the inside line, you don't talk about any feelings. If you can't do it, you just can't do it. You can only be bullied.

If it weren't for Kobe scoring alone, it would be almost a foregone conclusion that the Lakers would be beaten directly in this quarter.

Right now, he is just lingering on his last breath, and has no momentum to win at all.

Tang Qian played 10 minutes in this quarter and got 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

Why did he get so much playing time again?That's because as soon as Anzhu went up, another foul was called. Fortunately, the opponent didn't shoot, which prevented the score difference from being further widened.4 fouls in the half, and An Zhu will probably stay on the bench for a while in the second half.

Staples Center, Auditorium.

"Old Tang, Xiaoqian's team doesn't seem very good. How many points have they lost? Can they still win?" Tang's mother and Tang's father are now qualified fake fans, so they have a rough idea of ​​the game. , There is already a vague judgment in my mind. "Trust Xiaoqian, it's not impossible to catch up to 19 points in a basketball game." Tang's father comforted Tang's mother, but he vaguely felt that the trend of this game was very unsatisfactory.

On the other side, there were also two women discussing fiercely.

"Sophia, I have lost so much, can I still win?" Although Sestin has been supplementing basketball knowledge and basketball videos during this period, she is still far behind the "old fan" Sophia , so seeing this situation, she instinctively asked her sister beside her for help.

"It's hard to say. The overall momentum of the Lakers is very bad now. If the morale of the team cannot be improved, the next game may lose more and more until it enters the garbage time earlier." Sophia saw the clue and told Sestin said, but the real situation was far worse than she expected.

Lakers locker room.

"Paul, how are you? Can you still hold on?" Kobe looked at Paul Gasol.

"Well, I can do it, don't worry." Gasol gritted his teeth and nodded. In fact, his foot injury was already serious at this time, and it even started to deteriorate. But for the man in front of him, he Decided to forcibly support it.In essence, Paul Gasol is a standard "second leader". He has the strength to be the "big leader" in some teams, but his mentality and will are not really suitable for the "big leader" this location.Look at his independent leadership time, 0 wins and 12 losses in the playoffs, nothing else, as the boss of the team, he has entered the playoffs many times but failed, and he has never won a game. It's all a bit out of place.It's not that Gasol's personal ability is not good, but that he has no concept of winning in character, so the team he leads lacks energy in the playoffs, and there is always a kind of "go here" illusion.

But once this problem becomes the "second leader", it will not be a problem immediately. Instead, because of his personality, he can coexist peacefully with any boss. The so-called "excellent second leader" and "excellent team player" are like Gasol.With the boss to help him shelter from the wind and rain, he can also give full play to his strength without having to play under tremendous pressure and attention.

And because his "boss" is Kobe, his spiritual attributes can also get a "halo" bonus, changing his normal, slightly "soft" personality.

"OK, come on, Paul." Kobe and Gasol have won two consecutive championships, so there is no need to talk about the tacit understanding.

In fact, the ball has been played to this point. It is useless for Mike Brown to say anything. He is not the kind of head coach with a strong ability to control the scene, so at this time, I can only say some words of encouragement, and then pray that the Lakers can Moved by the goddess of victory, a miracle of reversal occurred.

What about the Thunder?Everyone is full of energy, lively, and looks like they will be promoted tonight!
From this point of view, the Lakers have fallen behind.

Due to Bynum's foul problem, Tang Qian got the chance to continue playing in this game. He still has a bronze block card that can be used, but now is not the time.The thunder team's competitive state is so good, even if he blocks 9 times, he may not be able to stop the opponent's indiscriminate bombing.You must know that this team is famous in the league for not being afraid of cover.

And now, what the Lakers need is to score. Even if he uses the bronze block card, he can't give the team any help in this regard.

Can I just endure it temporarily?

But soon, Tang Qian was forced to use his ability card, because only one and a half minutes into the third quarter, the opponent played another 7-0 spurt.The Lakers continued to misfire. Gasol and Ci Shiping all tried to shoot, but the basketball just couldn't fly into the Thunder's basket.This is the role of the team's morale and momentum. Although it is invisible and invisible, it really exists. If it goes well, the whole team will go well, and if it doesn't go well, the whole team will not go well. That's why Gasol and Ci Shiping The shots will get worse and worse, and the hit rate will drop to the bottom.

Where did Kobe go, you ask?Kobe is on the court, but as soon as he gets the ball, the Thunder will double-team him unscrupulously, leaving him with no room to shoot.Moreover, in this game, Thabo Sefolosha's defensive state was good, and Kobe's off-ball marking was done very well. In this way, it became extremely difficult for the Lakers' No. 24 to receive the ball stand up.

why?Because the Lakers couldn't open other points, they were dumb, so the Thunder's defensive focus was obvious, and they gradually supported Kobe.In this way, let alone a shot, it is very difficult for him to catch the ball easily.

40-66, the Lakers fell behind by as many as 26 points.

This time, the Lakers were taken aback. They fell behind by 26 points at the beginning of the third quarter. How should they continue after this?In this mood, the combat effectiveness of the Lakers continued to decline, and the state became worse and worse. Mike Brown seemed to feel that there was no hope of winning, so he didn't call a timeout at all.

"How, you can't do it, right? Chinaman?" Serge Ibaka taunted Tang Qian when he was stuck in the position, because he was in very good form in this game, and he has won 9 points so far. He scored 9 points and 5 blocked shots in rebounds. If he is lucky, he might be able to get a shot.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Tang Qian also tried his best to get in his place: "The game is not over yet, what a fart you are!"

"You're so far behind, why don't you give up? I think you've got water in your head!" Serge Ibaka said: "Our Thunder team will not only advance in this game, but I will also beat you to death. Let you end this season with a miserable defeat!"

slap~
Ibaka grabs the offensive rebound, then makes a quick shot from the basket, the basketball hits the net, and the Thunder add 2 more points.

40-68, the Lakers trailed by 28 points.

"How? Convinced? Chinaman!" Before turning around, Ibaka puffed up his chest and said to Tang Qian. Needless to say, the meaning of that demonstration was clear at a glance.Tang Qian's eyes lowered, he clenched his fist with his right hand, but finally had to let go.There is no way, if he can't suppress Ibaka on the defensive end, then the offensive end will be even more ugly.He is the winner of the authentic first defense this season, and he is by no means a parallel importer with a bad reputation.If you want to fight hard in front of him, the current Tang Qian doesn't have that ability yet.

In order to get the ball, Kobe had no choice but to dribble the ball from the backcourt and push himself to the frontcourt.

But for this ball, he was strongly interfered by the Thunder. He had just entered the free throw line, and the three defenders of the Thunder all went up, chasing and blocking, without giving Kobe a little room to breathe.In this situation, if Kobe was at his peak, he would naturally be able to do so, but tonight, he felt a bit weak.Many of the movements in my mind were a little weak at first, and gradually I couldn't do them perfectly.

While playing basketball, a little change in hand shape may bring about a completely different ending.

Bang~
Kobe's layup in the air in the crowd is still very good, but the strength and direction of the shot are slightly "error" from the normal situation.After the basketball rolled around the rim, it wobbled and finally fell outwards.

Even Kobe can't get in. Could it be that the Lakers are coming to an end tonight?The Staples Center was dull, and the voices of cheering and shouting became sporadic.

Russell Westbrook broke through the inside and attracted Tang Qian's attention, then raised his hand, and with a bang, Serge Ibaka completed the alley-oop, and the Thunder scored the 70th point.

The score difference between the two sides has also reached the number 30.

What does this mean to the Lakers? Every basketball fan knows that in the history of the NBA playoffs, the Celtics had the biggest reversal in the history of the playoffs. They reversed the Lakers by 24 points in the finals and successfully won the fourth game of the finals. , and finally got the match point 97-91.And this record was broken by the Clippers of the same city more than 20 days ago. The Clippers reversed the maximum difference of 27 points and finally beat the Memphis Grizzlies 99-98 by one point.So, unless the Lakers make new history tonight, losing is almost a certainty.

And can they do it?
No one believed it, not the fans, not even the Lakers themselves...

Maybe this season is coming to an end. This is the thought of everyone on the Lakers except Kobe.

30 points is really too big, even if Tang Qian activates the bronze block card, there is nothing he can do.

And it was clear that Tang Qian had lost the desire to block shots just now, otherwise Serge Ibaka would not have been able to hit consecutive shots.

If there is no desire to block shots, the ability card will not play a role.

After all, Tang Qian is just an ordinary person, he does not have the belief of "innate invincibility" and "rebirth supreme" like the protagonist of popular novels, so he will also feel frustrated and powerless, because he is just a mortal of flesh and blood .

People who have never played professional basketball will never understand what 30 points means.

That means you need to score 15 2-point goals when the opponent doesn't score.

That means you need to score 10 3-point goals when the opponent doesn't score.

That means you need to make 30 free throws without the opponent scoring.

That means...

This game is almost lost.

PS: I'm too busy today, sorry~
