Chapter 305 Tiantuan Tie-break Prediction (Please recommend the big chapter~)

"Lakers, Celtics both enter Game [-]!" - Los Angeles Times.

"The Lakers staged a super comeback! Kobe 48 points! Hot triple-double!" - Bleachers.

"Win the tiebreaker, and the Lakers will have the hope of returning to the finals! Let's take a look at the comparison of various statistics between the Lakers and the Spurs this season!" - Lakers Nation.

That night, TNT's well-known TV program "TNT Tiantuan" held a meeting on the fierce tiebreaker between the East and the West.

The guests present included hosts Matthews, O'Neill, Barkley, Kenny Smith, Isiah Thomas, and Bill Walton.This is a basketball program first promoted by TNT TV station. All kinds of big-name players put on suits, sit together, brag and fart, chat and gossip.

"Okay, gentlemen, tonight's topic is the prediction of the 2011-2012 season tiebreaker between the East and the West. At present, Boston and Philadelphia have a big score of 3-3, and the Lakers also have a big score of 3-3 against the Thunder. [-]. Compared with the Spurs and the Heat, these two traditional tycoons in the east and west seem to have encountered a lot of trouble, OK, everyone can start speaking." The host Matthews said, he is actually the "soy sauce" of this show The role, because he can hardly get in any words except for the beginning and the end.Because talking about basketball, everyone here is a real expert, not a talkative commentator.

"Okay, then let me talk about it first." "Shark" O'Neal said first: "To be honest, I didn't expect Boston and Los Angeles to get into this situation. First, I think Boston's strength is stronger. I have passed Philadelphia too much, and a 4-0 sweep is the truth, but it was dragged into the tiebreaker, which is surprising. Second, I think the strength of the Lakers is weaker than Oklahoma, at most it is 1-4 , 2-4 capped, I didn't expect them to go through a historic reversal and tie the Oklahoma 3-3. This year's playoffs, something unexpected, is really There are too many." O'Neill paused, and then continued: "However, if you ask me about my final forecast, I still stick to my original opinion. Boston in the east will advance, and Oklahoma in the west will advance."

"I agree with Shaq." Kenny Smith said: "Competing for the willpower of the playoffs, Philadelphia and Boston are far behind. I think in the last game, Boston will advance in the East. As for the West, I thought about it , I still feel that the Thunder have a slightly better chance of winning. After all, the Lakers are exhausted this season, and it is a little 'lucky' to be able to drag to the tiebreaker. A 30-point reversal does not happen in every game. Yes, so in the West, I choose the Thunder to advance."

"Okay~" The host Matthews nodded, then looked to the other side of the seat and asked, "I don't know about the other gentlemen, do you have any other opinions?"

"I have a different opinion." Charles Barkley said: "First of all, I am no different from them in predicting the tiebreaker in the East. The Bostonians will undoubtedly advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. But in the West, I have a different opinion." Barkley Said: "I think the Western Lakers will advance to the Western Conference Finals and kill the Thunder 4-3."

"Oh, Charles, can you tell me your specific opinion?" Matthews asked.

"The Lakers were scored 0-2 in the first two games. That's because the head star Kobe played abnormally, and at the same time, the inside line was collectively sluggish. For the Black Mamba, he only scored 20 points in a game, which is really too little point, it is not in line with the normal state of the Lakers. Look at the next few games, 36-38-42-48, scoring four consecutive games, one higher than one, this is the state of Kobe's full firepower, although the Lakers The Thunder couldn't stop the Thunder's super perimeter lineup, but Kobe averaged 41 points per game in the last four games, which is more than double the average of the previous two games. + Westbrook, that is enough to exchange Westbrook + James Harden. In this way, although the Thunder has Durant, the actual perimeter advantage is much less than everyone imagined. Now that I said it, The Lakers also have an inside advantage, so I think the Lakers can finally win the tiebreaker and advance to the Western Conference finals."

"ah~ha~Charles, your analysis method is too subjective." Shaq O'Neal immediately retorted to Barkley, "Indeed, Kobe played bravely in the next four games, averaging 41 points per game, but you And don’t forget, he only scored 20 points in two games. I don’t think Kobe’s current age can withstand the power of continuous explosions. Let alone 40 points in the next game, if he can score 30 points, that would be good It’s impossible to give the Lakers such a big help.” O’Neal continued: “And the inside advantage you mentioned, I didn’t see it at all in this round of the series. Gasol averaged 12 points per game, Bynum The average is 14.9 points per game, and the total is only about 27 points, and the shooting percentage of both of them is not less than 45%. I think it was not a problem for my brother to average more than 30 points per game in the first round of the series. The two of them added up to only 27 points? The shooting percentage was less than 45%? , in our era, most of the insiders taught them how to behave every minute!"

O'Neal's words are domineering, even very arrogant, but he can't pick out any problems, because he has a lot of games with more than 30+ in the series, and even the finals have more than 30+ times many times, so he commented on the Lakers. Tower, he has his own capital.As the Big Mac insider in NBA history, few people can be regarded by him.

"You are you, they are them, how many insiders in the NBA can handle you?" Charles Barkley said: "Furthermore, the Lakers insiders I am talking about are not limited to them, there is also the Chinese Hot, a series of The Asian who won two triple-doubles!"

"Asian center?" O'Neal said contemptuously: "A backup center who averaged 2.9 points per game in the regular season?"

"It's not right for you to say that!" Charles Barkley said: "Although Tang averaged only 2.9 points per game in the regular season, that's because he is a defensive center. How can you talk about scoring with a defensive center? Why don't you shoot three-pointers with Mehmet Okuby? Besides, since entering the playoffs, Iron's scoring average is much higher than in the regular season. He averaged 5.3 points per game against the Nuggets and 6 points per game against the Thunder At present, the average of 13 points per game after 3 games is pretty good for a backup center, okay?" After speaking, Charles Barkley seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly teased: "By the way, say Wake up, Shaq, you seem to have never got a triple-double in the playoffs, the only two times in your career were in the regular season, I remember right?"

O'Neill is the kind of person with a particularly high spirit. You can see from his attitude towards Kobe Bryant. If you want him to think highly of you, you must show your honor and strength. Otherwise, he will always look aloof when dealing with you. look.Kobe understands this better than anyone else, so he has to desperately win the championship, not only to catch up with God Joe, but also to surpass Shaq O'Neal.

5>4, when Kobe's number of rings exceeds that of O'Neal, this "big shark" will be honest immediately. If you look at the news before and after, you will understand why the changes in sharks are so obvious.

"It's true that I haven't won a triple-double in the playoffs." O'Neal changed his expression, looked at Charles Barkley and said, "But I have won 4 championship rings. When will he have so many rings? Compare with me."

This sentence has an insinuating meaning. It seems to be talking about Tang Qian, but in fact, it puts Charles Barkley, who does not have a ring, into it, which is a hidden loss.

When Barkley heard this, his face darkened, but he didn't refute it anymore, because this matter was the biggest regret in his entire career that he could never erase.In the NBA circle, you can clearly see that without a ring, there is no status. Even if you are as strong as Malone, it is still useless. There is no room for him to discuss in the top 15 in history.So O'Neill's words are extremely aggressive.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the host Matthews immediately shifted his gaze and asked Isiah Thomas and Bill Walton, "I wonder if the remaining two gentlemen have anything to say?"

Isiah Thomas took the lead and said: "There is nothing to say in the East. The Bostonians will definitely advance. There is no doubt about it. As for the West, I think the Lakers and the Thunder will have a [-]-[-] split, because both teams have their own. It is difficult to directly define the advantages. But for the Lakers backup center Smash, I feel that the future is good. If this situation continues, there will be opportunities to compete for the defensive team and even the best defensive player in the future."

"Isaiah, you think too much of that Oriental boy! I watched his playoffs, and he is basically an offensive guy with no skills at all. This kind of person still wants to win the best defensive player? Are you joking?" O'Neill objected to Thomas' words, because in his heart, he didn't like the Asian center at all.

"What's impossible? Shaq." Isiah Thomas has a high EQ, he blinked and said, "After all, Tyson Chandler got DPOY this year. Impossible, isn't it?"

"Hmph, wait until he gets it first." O'Neill snorted.

"What about you, Bill? What's your opinion?" Matthews then asked.

"My opinion in the East is no different from them. The Bostonians have at least a 95% chance of advancing. Unless Philadelphia collectively breaks out, it is almost impossible to win the tiebreaker." Bill Walton said: "Talk about the West, I think The Thunder still have a better chance of winning, because they are younger, healthier and more energetic. Besides, the Lakers can delay until this time, I think it is considered lucky. A 30-point super reversal, the history of the NBA for more than 60 years , This is the only case in the playoffs, can we expect more?"

"As for the China Hot just discussed, my opinion is that it is the Eastern version of Dikambe Mutombo."

"Dikambe Mutombo? Bill, you think highly of him, don't you? No matter how bad Mutombo is, he is also the winner of the 4th DPOY, the winner of the best defensive team 6 times, and the three-time block leader in his career. , 2 times in rebounding, 8 times in the All-Star lineup, do you think this Chinese can achieve these honors?" After hearing O'Neal's words, Bill Walton said unhurriedly: "Shaq, China is also rich in insiders. The player’s country, you will not forget Yao in those days? If he is not injured, I think he will definitely be the top ten center insider in history. He can’t reach the height of Yao, but he can be a weakened version of Muttom It's not impossible to be Bo, even if Di Kembe's honor was cut in half, it would be a very successful career, wouldn't it?"

"Yao? There is only one Yao out of more than a billion people in China! I don't think there is any comparison between him and Yao!" O'Neill said: "And Yao is not a blue-collar player who can only block shots. He averaged 25 per game at his peak. + Well, it is impossible for this Chinese to catch up in his lifetime!"

"Charles also said before that Tang is a defensive center. It is really unfair to compare him with scoring, but I think this kid's shot-blocking talent and sense of smell are still very good. This is enough to gain a foothold in the NBA." Bill Walton is an open Yaomi, so he is relatively friendly to powerful Chinese insiders.But the premise is that you must have the strength, and you need to get his approval, otherwise you still won't be able to kill you.As a Hall of Famer, Bill Walton is also arrogant.

"Well, after a brief discussion, we can basically conclude that there is no suspense in the East, right?" Matthews began to conclude.

"Correct."

"Yes."

"no problem."

The rest replied one after another.

"As for the tiebreaker in the Western Conference, let's vote with a show of hands. This is the most intuitive and clear." Matthews suggested.

The final score was 5-1. Because a choice must be made, Isiah Thomas finally chose to favor the Thunder.

The ratings of this show are good, so the view of watching the Lakers tiebreaker spread among the public.

Tang Qian's temporary home, Los Angeles.

"Son, why do these people look down on you! Didn't they watch the game last night?" Tang's mother was also watching the show, so she suddenly said "outraged".Tang Qian glanced at it, and replied casually: "This is a very normal thing. The current book strength of our team is not as good as that of the Thunder."

"Really?" Mother Tang was stunned for a moment, and then continued to ask: "Then what do you think the Lakers' chances are for winning the next game?"

"Probability?" Tang Qian thought for a while, then whispered, "I don't know."

After finishing speaking, Tang Qian himself fell into silence.

Domestically, the basketball management center, the top leader's office.

"The list of contestants will be submitted soon, Xin Guan, look..." Chen Xin walked up to Xin Guan with a tablet computer, and asked cautiously.Because of the instructions from above recently, the goal of this Olympic Games has been set down. Because of this incident, Xinguan has become grumpy, and if he is not careful, he will be angered.

"Damn it! Damn it! They will stretch out their hands blindly and command blindly! How dare they think about it! Do they know what a basketball game is?" It’s a No.08, and now this lineup asks me to keep eight and compete for six! Are you kidding me!!!”

When Chen Xin heard this, he remained silent on the face, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart, why do these words sound so familiar?It's really squeezing one layer at a time!They are all masters who stand and talk without back pain!
But of course he didn't dare to reveal these slanders, otherwise he wouldn't want this "iron rice bowl".

In China, this kind of place is a dream job for others, and Chen Xin also paid a lot of money to break out of the siege from thousands of troops.So he had to keep some words in his heart, otherwise he would offend his immediate boss, and he would have no hope of promotion in his life.

And he has been in this business for many years, of course he understands the truth that "the leader is angry, and the subordinate officials are silent". At this time, it is the most correct decision not to speak and listen to the leader to vent.Sure enough, after a few minutes, Xin Guan's mood calmed down, and then he turned to Chen Xin and asked, "How is that bastard doing now? Does he have the qualifications to show us a little favor?"

Chen Xin has been with Xinguan for some time, so he naturally understands what the leader is thinking and who he is referring to, and quickly and skillfully replied: "The performance is very good, I have already got 2 triple-doubles, and also broke the NBA season. The single-game blocked shot record in the playoffs."

"From your point of view, how does our team's inside line compare with him?" Xin Guan lit a cigarette and asked slowly.

Chen Xin hesitated when he heard the words, but did not answer immediately.

"Don't worry, there are no outsiders here, just tell the truth." Xin Guan saw the reason for Chen Xin's hesitation, and said lightly. "Okay, then I'll say it, trust me." Chen Xin nodded, then opened his mouth and said, "To be honest, it's not as good as this Tang Qian."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Xin Guan asked slowly after taking a puff of cigarette.

Regardless of the ups and downs of Xinguan, management has been around for a long time, but he actually doesn't know the outside world.All his energies are concentrated on the national team, the national youth team, and the Olympic team, in this three-acre land.So he is a little "weak" about the progress and changes outside, just a "paper tiger" who doesn't understand and pretends to understand.

"Yeah." Chen Xin thought for a while before responding: "Don't look at Tang Qian's scoring ability is not very good, but his defensive ability is at the NBA level. It seems that this season he won an "Asian shot block leader." '." In fact, Chen Xin is also a monk who became a monk halfway through. Before he came to work here, he had never had much contact with basketball, so most of the information was read online and his own subjective imagination.Tang Qian's scoring ability is not very good in the NBA, but it will be very different if he is put in the national team.But Chen Xin didn't quite understand these roundabouts.

"Defensive ability? Zhou Qi of our team seems to have a good defensive ability, and the block data is quite good." The information manager started talking nonsense again.Chen Xin frowned when he heard this. Although his basketball skills are not very good, he still knows that Zhou Qi is currently only a member of the u17 national youth team, and his achievements are also at the u17 level. The list is not his turn at all.But for the boss's "slip of the tongue", he can't directly expose it, so after a little thought, Chen Xin said: "Well, he is not bad, but unfortunately he is too young, so this year's Olympic squad is not his turn. .”

He said this sentence very cleverly, not only pointed out the problem, but also saved the face of the leader. No wonder he was the one who got along well in front of the grumpy Xinguan.

"Oh, really? Let's talk about the next Olympic Games." Xin Guan is also an old fritter, so he immediately understood what Chen Xin said.This way of dealing with normal people looks very awkward and very tired, but here, it is a common thing.If you don't know, you must be a stepping stone for a lifetime.

"Then let's make a little show of kindness. After being banned for a while, I believe he has awakened." Xin Guan smoked a high-end cigarette while puffing.

"Okay, I understand, trust me."

"Well, the overall situation of the country is the most important thing. Do you understand? Xiao Chen." Xin Guan said with an expression of "concern for the country and the people": "For the sake of the national interest and personal grievances, let's put them aside for now."

"I'm tired." Chen Xin lowered his head and said, then bowed and retreated.

Tang Qian didn't know anything about the situation in the country. Of course, even if he knew, he would sneer at it.

All morals are occupied by you, and if others disobey, they will be dunked one after another. This kind of ghost basketball team really doesn't matter if you don't join.They will not be afraid of pain if they don't fall hard to the bottom of the smog!
USA, Los Angeles, Oklahoma City.

In order to prepare for tomorrow's tiebreaker, the entire Lakers team flew to Oklahoma City one night in advance.

Mike Brown arranged tactics and adjusted the layout there again, but in Tang Qian's view, these were useless efforts, because what the Lakers need now is rest, a lot of rest.Two consecutive rounds of the series have reached the tiebreaker. This level of fatigue is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. What's more, looking at the player data of the Lakers, the average playing time of the starting lineup has almost exploded.Both Kobe and Gasol played 40+ minutes, and Ci Shiping was 39+. If it wasn't for the fact that An Zhu got into foul trouble in the last game and didn't play much, it must be approaching 40+ minutes per game.Under this kind of super-intensive overdraft and consumption, the entire Lakers team is actually about to melt into an iceberg and is on the verge of collapse.But Mike Brown didn't mean to reflect at all, and still arranged a lot of pre-match training sessions, which made the burden on the Lakers even heavier.

Coupled with the fact that this game was an away tiebreaker, Tang Qian's heart instantly became overcast.
