Chapter 329 Two 20+
The new coach of the Lakers has been selected, and the final winner is Mike D'Antoni. — ESPN.

The Lakers gave up "Zen Master" Jackson and signed the running master! - TNT.

Mike D'Antoni, 3+1 contract, 3 million for 1200 years, of which the fourth year is a team option! -- Yahoo Sports.

The Los Angeles Lakers have entered the era of running and bombing! — FOX Sports.

As soon as the news came out, the outside world was boiling, and the Los Angeles fans seemed very dissatisfied.

"What's going on? Why Mike D'Antoni? Didn't Phil agree? Why didn't he sign him?"

"Stupid! This is simply the stupidest signing of a head coach I have ever seen! The best head coach in history is not allowed, but he chooses someone who beats and runs away! Are the management's brains trapped by the door? "

"That's right, what achievements does Mike D'Antoni have? European champions? We don't care about that! How can someone who doesn't have a championship lead the luxurious Lakers this season?"

"Idiot management! Idiot Mitch Kupchak! Our Lakers don't want to watch this season! We want the championship! We want the O'Brien Cup! Do you understand!!!"

"And signed for 4 years! What a fool! Haven't Mike Brown's lesson taught them to behave?"

"Phil! We want Phil!!!"

Compared with the fans outside, the Lakers team is now clouded with low pressure.

Kobe looked ashen, Gasol looked depressed, and Ci Shiping looked dissatisfied. As for Howard, although he also felt a little regretful, he had not experienced the era of Phil Jackson after all, so his feelings were not that deep.

"How did this happen? Kobe? Didn't Phil agree? Why did he suddenly become Mike D'Antoni again?" Ci Shiping looked at Kobe and asked in disbelief.Kobe didn't answer, but his face turned greener by three points.

And the most frustrated person was none other than Pau Gasol, because he was looking forward to the return of Phil Jackson the most.

Sure enough, small details may be affected by my "butterfly", but the general trend of history does not seem to have changed much.

The Los Angeles Lakers finally chose Mike D'Antoni over "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.

After completing the signing ceremony, Mike D'Antoni came to the Lakers' training ground in the afternoon.

He is an ordinary-looking old man. Although he also played in the NBA when he was young, at first glance, he is not as tall as Phil Jackson.On the contrary, there is still a bit of rickety and emaciated.

"Hello, everyone, I'm Mike D'Antoni, your new head coach for the next few years!" Mike D'Antoni greeted enthusiastically as soon as he came in without being stage frightened.But the voices that responded to him were sparse, as soon as I heard them, I knew that I didn't have much energy.D'Antoni seems to have been mentally prepared for this scene, so he smiled slightly and continued: "I know everyone is surprised by my arrival, but the NBA is a business league, and accidents are normal. There is an old saying how to say Come on? Oh, right, since you can’t resist, then choose to enjoy it.” Mike D’Antoni smiled and said, “Enjoyment is better than depression, right, everyone?”

With this move, he instantly dispelled the embarrassing atmosphere of just entering the door, and the distance between the Lakers and him suddenly narrowed a little.

"I'm new here today, so I won't do any complicated tactical drills, just let everyone play freely at night." Mike D'Antoni said: "It's best to win, I'll treat everyone to a big meal! Lost... "He smiled and said: "Then please! Take it as a meeting gift for everyone!"

Seeing this, Tang Qian discovered Mike D'Antoni's ability. At least in terms of integration into the team, he is more than three times stronger than Mike Brown?Although this cannot immediately establish the authority of the head coach, it is a good adjustment to the overall atmosphere of the team.You must know that NBA games are sometimes not simply 5VS5. The atmosphere and disharmony of the team are often a factor that determines the outcome.

At least the initial depression gradually dissipated in the Lakers.

Otherwise, the atmosphere and emotions will start, and it will be no wonder if the Nuggets don't get blown away by the Nuggets tonight.

And this game is the opportunity Tang Qian needs to seize.

He will do his best in this game.

"Don, I'll go to the Staples Center to watch your game tonight. How about we have something to eat after the game?" The call was from Taylor Swift. Tang Qian wanted to seriously prepare for the game. He refused to drop her, but in an instant, he changed his mind again.Because he had something he wanted to give back to Taylor Swift, and it would be best if he thanked him in person.

"Well, okay, after the game, I'll go find you." Tang Qian replied.

After hearing Tang Qian's reply, Taylor Swift immediately said happily: "Okay, then it's settled~ See you tonight~"

Against the Denver Nuggets at night, Tang Qian looked at the opposing lineup, and suddenly he was a little dazed and said: "What... what's going on? Has the Nuggets changed their blood? Why are most of them new faces?" "Are you surprised?" What?" Ci Shiping said: "The reason why the Nuggets are like this is not all because of you?"

"Me? What does it have to do with me?" Tang Qian asked in a daze.

"What's the relationship? Haha~ That's a big relationship~" Ci Shiping said with a smirk: "Fortunately, this is our Lakers' home game tonight. If you go to Denver's home game, you can try it. You will definitely be booed from the beginning To the end!" "Ah~ why? Did I steal money from the Denver Nuggets? Why did you do this to me?" Seeing that Tang Qian hadn't remembered it, Ci Shiping finally clicked it out and said, "Please, please?" ~Hot~ Have you forgotten the fight in the playoffs last time? Because of you, the entire Nuggets team is still in a semi-paralyzed state, and a total of 7 people have been suspended. Hehe, the Nuggets team is going to be unlucky this season You say so, can the people of Denver not boo you?"

Originally, this was the reason!

No wonder I always feel that the other party looks at me with a faint "murderous look", so this is the problem!
Tang Qian thought about the details of the punishment, and felt a little sympathy in his heart. This season, the Nuggets are going to be difficult.

Played 16 games so far, a full 2 ​​wins and 14 losses, the lowest record in the league.

If it weren't for the suspension of some players, it is estimated that 0 wins and 16 losses would not be impossible.

Fortunately, the team's "boss" Ty Lawson has returned, otherwise this game would have been a massacre.

Before the start of this game, Tang Qian received the long-lost "Different Dimension" challenge task. Today in history, it restarted.

最终他抽到的挑战数据是，维恩.库珀，1985年11月30号的数据，全场11分13个篮板球4记盖帽。

Tang Qian looked at this set of data and felt that there should be a lot to do tonight.

In the face of the broken formation, he will never show mercy.

Because in professional basketball, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!
Since the main inside players JaVale McGee and Kenneth Faried are still suspended, the Nuggets had to use Timofey Mozgov as the main center in this game.The Russian is very tall, more than 7 feet, with an altitude of 216cm, but his athletic ability is mediocre, and his footsteps are even slower, so he has no advantage against Dwight Howard.

Even if "Warcraft" has a back injury now, it's not something a mere Timofey Mozgov can handle.

There was no suspense in the scrimmage, and it fell into the hands of the Lakers.

Throughout the first quarter, the Lakers showed strong firepower, and Kobe seemed to want a good sign for a coaching change, so in the first quarter, he tried his best to restrain his desire to score.Under Kobe's go-betweens, the Lakers played an extremely smooth offense. Among them, Dwight Howard played the most vigorously, with 16 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter, directly hitting Russian center Timofey Mozgov. rise to life.And Kobe also cooperated very well, with 5 assists in a single quarter, which revitalized the entire Lakers team.

34-27, the Lakers led by 7 points and entered the second quarter.

唐潜首节比赛，上场2分14秒，得到了2分3个篮板球1次盖帽的数据。

In the second quarter of the game, Kobe scored 10 points in a single quarter, and most importantly, someone stood up on the bench. He was Jody Meeks. He made 6 of 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, using more than 80% The three-pointer hits the Nuggets outside and is in a mess.

37-30, once again led by 7 points in a single quarter.

Tang Qian played 3 minutes in the second quarter and scored 2 points and 3 rebounds.

At the end of this quarter, there seemed to be a little problem with Paul Gasol's running. Gary Vitti took a look and immediately suggested to coach Mike D'Antoni: "Mr. D'Antoni, the sole of Paul's right foot has some Inflammation symptoms, it is best to let him not continue to play in this game." "Inflammation? Gary, didn't Paul have surgery during the offseason? Why are there still inflammation symptoms?" D'Antoni seems to have done a lot Homework, so I asked as soon as I opened my mouth.

"Paul had surgery during the offseason, and the surgery was successful, but Mike Brown used him too hard in the new season, so it's normal for the area to become inflamed after the surgery. Besides, I watched Look, Paul's two knees are not in good condition, so my suggestion is to stop the game immediately." After hearing Gary Vitti's professional explanation, Mike D'Antoni nodded and said: "How long will this recovery period take? Second surgery?"

"That's not necessary." Gary Vitti checked carefully for a while before opening his mouth and replied: "For a small inflammation of this level, just take some medicine and antibiotics. The main thing is not to be overtired during the recovery period." "Can you play with an injury?" Mike D'Antoni continued to ask. "Let's not talk about playing with injuries. After taking the medicine, he can still play 20-30 minutes per game, but it's better not to exceed 30 minutes, because his body can't bear such a high intensity. It will take at least 2 months , to resume 30+ appearances."

Mike D'Antoni nodded. As long as he can play, that's fine. Otherwise, without an All-Star No. 4, the strength of the team will be greatly reduced immediately.When he first came to the Lakers, he didn't want to be short of major generals as soon as he came.

"Then Paul, you should rest for the time being for this game." Mike D'Antoni glanced at the locker room, and finally his eyes stayed on Tang Qian and said: "China is hot, next you go to take Paul's position, there is Question?"

"No problem, Mr. Mike D'Antoni." Tang Qian nodded in agreement.

In fact, Tang Qian had expected Pau Gasol's injury a long time ago. In his impression, the Spaniard only played 49 regular season games this season, which was the lowest point of his entire NBA career.In other words, there are a full 33 games this season, and the Spaniard will be absent.And this is one of Tang Qian's so-called opportunities.

Don't get me wrong, although Tang Qian took the position of Paul Gasol, it doesn't mean that he wants to sit firmly at the team's No. 4 position.Because what he wants to sit firmly is the 5th position, the position of the team's center forward.

"Chinese, just follow me later, don't hold me back!" Howard glanced at Tang Qian and said casually.Even though the Lakers played 15 games in the regular season, he and Tang Qian hardly played at the same time.Because in the Mike Brown era, Tang Qian was the center of the bench lineup, or occasionally paired with Pau Gasol. As for Dwight Howard, he almost staggered the playing time of these two people.

There is actually no problem with Mike Brown's consideration, because to some extent, Tang Qian is a fully weakened version of Dwight Howard.Needless to say in terms of offense, even the defense he is best at is not as strong as the latter, so letting the two of them stay on the court together is a kind of functional overlap.But right now, Gasol can't play, the Lakers can only send Tang Qian to the top. After all, Tang Qian was also the league's block leader last season + a member of the second defense. Such a strength is better than Jordan Hill. The flow is stronger.

The Lakers now have no shortage of offensive firepower.

Tang Qian didn't answer him, because in his heart, Howard was a competitor, and a competitor he had to beat.So any politeness, any hypocrisy, are directly avoided. Players in the same position, in the NBA, have only one way to go.

The starting center, after all, only has one position, isn't it?
If you want to sit on the same seat, you have to fight hard!
Howard was a little annoyed when he saw that Tang Qian didn't answer him, because he was not pleasing to the eyes of Orientals, especially Chinese. Now Tang Qian still has this attitude, showing no respect to himself.
brat!Labor and capital can't handle Yao!Can't you handle it?

Just wait and see! ! !

Tang Qian noticed Howard was looking at him, but he didn't care, he looked up, because Tang Qian had no reason to retreat from competitors in the same position.Not to mention a Dwight Howard, even if the four major centers in the 90s came, they couldn't let him surrender without bloodshed.

Moreover, there is another point that Tang Qian has never liked this "happy beast".

So to put it all together, the confrontation and even confrontation between the two has become a matter of course.

Since the Nuggets have no main inside players, relying on Timofey Mozgov will not help at all.They were at their wit's end and even put Danilo Gallinari directly inside the team.In this way, Danilo Gallinari tasted what is called "inside hand-to-hand combat". You must know that he usually plays the 3rd position, but without JaVale McGee and Danilo Gallinari In the end, he had no choice but to be forced into the restricted area.

Although the Italian handsome guy has a height of 6 feet 10 inches, but after all, he rarely fights inside and his body is too thin. After entering the inside, he was immediately suppressed by Tang Qian.Originally, Tang Qian was thinking of using his ability card in this game, but now it seems that he is lucky. He ran into the Denver Nuggets who are short of major generals. To suppress Danilo Gallinari, who weighs only 225 pounds, That's not a thing at all.

In the NBA, not everyone is Dennis Rodman, especially a tall outside player like Danilo Gallinari. Although he is tall enough to meet the inside standard, his body and consciousness are still on the outside. .It's a ghost to just rush into the restricted area rashly and not be taught to be a human being.To put it bluntly, it is that a historical super giant perimeter like Joe God Kobe wants to play with inside players to grab rebounds, block shots, and protect the basket. Ordinary bench insiders can blast them.

If you use your own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, it's no wonder that you are not unlucky.

Under the "care" of Danilo Gallinari, Tang Qian showed his prowess in this quarter, scoring 12 rebounds, 8 blocks and 2 points in 4 minutes.As for Howard on the opposite side, how can I say that Timofey Mozgov is also an orthodox center forward, and his height has reached 216cm, and the tonnage is sufficient. It's a bit more difficult here.

Who told him to be the team's No. 5 position.

If he is the 4th position, then against Danilo Gallinari, he may be able to generate even more terrifying single-quarter statistics. Unfortunately, this big deal was taken up by Tang Qian tonight.This made Dwight Howard very unhappy, because as a superstar center, he should have completely suppressed Tang Qian in terms of statistics, but now the number of rebounds of this Chinese guy is exactly the same as his own, keeping pace with him.This makes "Warcraft" a little unhappy.

Thinking of Tang Qian's "arrogant" attitude just now, Howard secretly said in his heart: Tonight I must completely overwhelm you in terms of statistics!I, Dwight Howard, do what I say!
In the fourth quarter of the game, Danilo Gallinari wanted to "know the shame and be brave" to fight Tang Qian, but Tang Qian's offseason was not in vain.In addition to crazy rebounding practice with Dennis Rodman, his physical strength training has never stopped, and after a "summer vacation" conditioning, his weight has increased from 245 pounds to 258 pounds.Considering Tang Qian's height, although he was still not strong, he completely got rid of the word thin.

Moreover, his strength crystal brick also broke through to the level of six, and his bench press weight exceeded his original limit of 358 pounds, reaching an astonishing 380 pounds.This bench press number is considered extremely tyrannical among the center forwards, and can barely squeeze into the first-class ranks.You must know that Tang Qian's real age is only 19 years old now, and being able to do this is far beyond the average rookie of the same age.And it is foreseeable that in the future, his strength will be even stronger.

Based on his current physical condition, Tang Qian felt very relaxed when he wanted to squeeze Danilo Gallinari inside, because the former was far behind him in terms of weight and bench press strength.In this way, at the end of the whole game, Tang Qian easily picked up 20 rebounds.The total data is 11 points, 20 rebounds and 5 blocks, and has won the silver completion of the challenge data.

In this game, Danilo Gallinari seemed to be in hell, and Tang Qian's various flying boards made him almost doubt his life.

Fortunately, he only made a guest appearance at position 4 temporarily. When McGee and Faried come back, he can return to the "cute" position 3.

But Tang Qian was still not the best player in the game, because his "opponent" Dwight Howard also scored 20 rebounds, 3 blocks and 28 points.In this way, it is a matter of course to overwhelm Tang Qian.

The final score was 122-103, and the Lakers won by 19 points, ending the home game.

At this moment, there was a guy with gaudy hair, wearing sunglasses, sitting in a bar drinking alone.

Anyone who saw him would run away.

I was afraid that this "abnormal" guy would suddenly go crazy towards him.

What?What's wrong you ask?I'll go, it's already dark in the bar, it's not so easy to see clearly under normal circumstances, why are you still wearing sunglasses?It's not that the brain is abnormal, what is it?
Mental illness and neurosis, no matter which country they are in, are a kind of existence that is not easy to provoke.

The United States of America, that too.

Therefore, within a radius of several meters of this person, there is not a single "living person".

The Lakers VS Nuggets game was playing on the TV in the bar. The man glanced up, then lowered his head and took a big sip of his drink, and said to himself in a muffled voice, "Didn't lose to Howard? Huh?" Finally, I didn’t embarrass the old man!”
