Chapter 341 Rebound Explosion (Please recommend tickets for the big chapter~)

On December 2012, 12, US time, the MIC Center Arena, where the Lakers will have another back-to-back game.

The opponent is the Washington Wizards, who are currently at the bottom of the league's record. Due to the injury of No. 3 pick Wall. Hall, their start to the season has been a mess.So far, it has only achieved a record of 16 wins and [-] losses, one less win than the Charlotte Bobcats. It can be said to be one of the most emaciated teams in the Eastern Conference.

If the Lakers still lose this game, then even Kobe's power will not be able to appease the angry Los Angeles fans.

So despite the back-to-back games, the entire Lakers team has no reason to fail.

9 wins and 14 losses, this is the current record data of the Lakers.

Naturally, it is impossible for such a game to be included in the national live broadcast schedule, so the number of media present is not many.But it doesn't matter, because this group of people will become "lucky ones", just like the people in the Barclays Center Arena.

There is a saying in the NBA that miracles often come from mediocrity. This sentence can be used in today's game.

Since John Wall, the main player of the team this season, suffered a stress fracture of the kneecap during training on September 9, the 29 No. 8 pick will not be seen in the MIC Center Arena for the next 2010 weeks. Figure up.Faced with this team situation, the attendance rate of the Washington Wizards team was only less than 65%. Tang Qian stood in the center of the court and glanced at it. There were a lot of vacant seats and no one was sitting. Sad and angry.

If the Lakers continue to lose in the future, will this happen at the Staples Center one day in the future?

However, I won't let that happen.

Because the Lakers' winning streak is about to begin.

Just start in this MIC center arena.

Head coach Mike D'Antoni is well aware of the conflict between Tang Qian and Howard, but right now the Lakers are short of major generals, and there are not many inside players available, so it won't work if Tang Qian is not allowed to play.

I hope these two guys can reconcile as soon as possible, alas.

Mike D'Antoni sighed in his heart.

Coming to Los Angeles to coach, the pressure from all aspects is really too great. In the past, Mike D'Antoni still looked down on Phil Jackson, thinking that he was a "super giant nanny". Without a superstar player, he is worthless. carry.But after coming to the Los Angeles Lakers in person, he realized that it was so difficult to be a "super giant nanny", much more difficult than he originally imagined.This is really not something ordinary people can play.

Leaving aside the authenticity of the "Triangle Tactics", he began to gradually admire Phil Jackson for this.

"Chinaman, show me, you will taste the humiliation, I promise!" Howard even bickered with Tang Qian after he came on stage. "Haha~ Really? That's what I was trying to tell you. Don't rush to regret it!" Tang Qian didn't flinch, and confronted Dwight Howard directly in the center of the court.

"Hey, I say you two, don't go too far! Do you really think that infighting can do us better? What do we think we are?" Brazilian player Nene Hilario is impulsive, seeing these two guys from the Lakers Looking down on people so much, I immediately felt a little uncomfortable, and I went to the mirror forcibly.

"What are you doing?"

"None of your business!"

What he answered were two "ruthless" answers, which made Nene shout loudly: "Don't look down on people, I won't let you do whatever you want tonight!!!" "Really? I advise you to still Don't mess around, really, this is advice." Tang Qian said. "Single testoster man! What are you? How dare you challenge me? Get out!!!" Howard was furious when he saw another "little character" come out to shout, he was immediately annoyed, and opened his mouth very sarcasticly.

"What!!! What did you say!!!" Nene Hilario had undergone surgery in 2008 because of a testicular tumor, which is commonly known as "cutting eggs".Although the operation was successful, it did not affect his return to NBA games, but since then, there is indeed only one "egg. egg" left under his crotch.This also caused some people who didn't like him to give him the insulting nickname of "single testoster".But under normal circumstances, no one would say it in front of him, because this guy is a hot-tempered man, and the lack of an "egg. egg" doesn't seem to affect his violent style at all.If you want to talk about the player who has caused the most trouble inside recently, then Nene Hilario is definitely one of them.

And this guy, in the NBA arena, has almost never suffered any losses, which means that his "fist ability" is very strong, and it is not built.So Howard's words ignited his nerves. If it weren't for his teammates, the game might have turned into a "boxing ring" before it officially started.

The atmosphere of the game suddenly became tense because of this episode.

Because Nash and Gasol are still recovering from injuries, the Lakers' starting lineup is PG Chris Duhon, SG Kobe Bryant, SF Metta World Peace, PF Tang Qian, and C Dwight Howard.On the opposite side, Wall is missing, and it is PG Jordan Crawford, SG Brad Bill, SF Martell Webster, PF Nene Hilario, C Emeka Okafor.

Tang Qian looked at Emeka Okafor, the former No. 60 pick, who was once on an equal footing with Dwight Howard beside him, but who would have thought that the first season was actually his peak season. After that, he There was no longer a season in which Dwight Howard could be suppressed, and the more he played, the more he became marginalized.To be honest, Tang Qian liked this player very much at one time, but his luck was not very good. He was injured in the second year of his career and missed nearly [-] games. Moreover, due to the slow improvement of offensive ability, his athletic ability is not as good as Howard's. The exaggeration, so gradually the Bobcats lost patience with him.In addition, his personality also means that he does not have the personality of being the boss of the team. Coupled with years of physical injuries, this season has actually become the last NBA season for this big man.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Tang Qian believes that in terms of low-post defense, his ability to assist defense may not be as good as Dwight Howard, but his ability to defend alone is even higher than that of "Warcraft".A career-high 2.6 blocks and a 30% reduction in points per round against opponents is an almost terrifying defensive dominance.Especially the latter item, which is several percentage points higher than Dwight Howard.With a height of only 208cm and a physical upper limit that is not particularly strong in athletic ability, he can perform this kind of performance, which is definitely the type of "low post defensive madman".In fact, Tang Qian believes that his potential has not been fully realized in the NBA. He averaged 4+ blocks per game for several consecutive seasons in college, which is enough to scare any insider to death.

You must know that the NCAA's style of play and time limit are different from those of the NBA. Their total number of offensive rounds is less, so it is a monster level to be able to play such average blocks per game.In the NCAA that year, he was the well-deserved king of blocked shots.And compared to Tang Qian and Howard's physical shot-blocking style, he is closer to the "ancient age" Bill Russell's shot-blocking method, which focuses on timing and skills, supplemented by physical fitness.If he can have the physical condition of "Warcraft" Howard, then maybe 4+ blocks in the NBA are not impossible.

Tang Qian once carefully watched Okafor's defensive end video, and found that there are many bright spots and merits in him, at least for the current self, there are many things worth learning and learning from.

But appreciation is appreciation, liking is liking, basketball is a competitive game, as long as the referee blows the scrum whistle, then you can only lose or win.

A basketball game is not a football game and there is never a draw.

In scrimmage, few people in this league can match Dwight Howard, even if he still suffers from a back injury, that's the same.Emeka Okafor is indeed several blocks behind the former in this regard.Obviously affected by the dispute, Kobe took 3 shots at the beginning, but tonight he didn't feel good, DuangDuangDuang~ hit the iron three times in a row, and the basketball collapsed and popped out.

Dwight Howard seemed to be full of energy tonight, he flew to grab the offensive rebound, and then he couldn't help but rise from the spot, dunking his hands heavily, with a "bang", very much like his playing style and appearance when he was healthy. "How is it? Chinaman? Did you see it? This is my strength!" Howard said after landing without looking at his opponent, but staring at Tang Qian.

The atmosphere of gunpowder is very strong.

"Don't worry, Howard, the game has just started, hasn't it?" Tang Qian said with a smile indifferently, looking not nervous or urgent at all. "Hmph! Hard-spoken guy! Let's see how long you can hold on! I'm sure to explode tonight! Because I can feel that labor. Capital is full of energy tonight!!!" This is American culture, especially In the professional sports circle, on the surface, suits and leather shoes, ties and leather shoes are actually exported as dirty in private, and dirty words continue.The same is true for Howard, who pretended to be a good baby in front of the media, but after losing the spotlight, he returned to his original nature.

"Really?" Tang Qian has been in the United States for so long, so he responded very calmly in an American way: "Then I will put your energy back into your ass."

These two bastards are fighting openly on the court. Is this looking down on our Nuggets inside?

Be sure to give them a good look!
"Brazilian Fighter" thought so in his heart.

Tang Qian entered the "Different Dimension", took out two silver cards, and said with a low smile, "Come on, let's make a mess from now on."

"For the [-] spectators present today, you are blessed."

"Activate, Silver..."

……

"Chinaman, why are you smirking! It's disgusting to look at!" Howard couldn't help feeling cold when he saw Tang Qian's smile, and then opened his mouth and sprayed.It seemed that if he didn't say anything, he would feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable. "It's nothing, little beast. Beast, I'm here to tell you solemnly, the show has begun." Tang Qian continued to say with a smile, not affected by Howard's words at all.

When the opponent's shot missed, Howard was active and stuck hard, and he was going to get the defensive rebound.

However, the rebound disappeared in mid-air in an instant.

Howard was startled, and turned his head to look over. The orange basketball had fallen into the hands of No. 29 of the Lakers at some point. "This is the first one, little beast! Beast!" Tang Qian grinned, then passed the basketball in his hand.

Duang ~
Kobe missed a shot, and Howard quickly got stuck in his position. After several years of growth, the gap in ability between him and Okafor has become more and more obvious.As the league's No. [-] center, the latter gradually lost his ability to fight back in front of the former.

This offensive rebound, can't run away!It's mine!

With years of inside experience, Howard subconsciously came to a conclusion.

He jumped up and was about to put the basketball into his arms, but suddenly, there was a cold in his right ear, and with a "snap", the rebound was caught first.Howard turned his head and saw that it wasn't No. 29 of the Lakers, but who was it?
Boom! ! !

Tang Qian blasted the basket vigorously with both hands, almost exactly the same as Dwight Howard just now.

After releasing the basket and landing on the ground, Tang Qian smiled at "Warcraft" again: "Hi~Little Beast. Beast~ This is the second rebound~"

hateful! ! !The bloody Chinaman! ! !
Howard was furious and mustered up his energy to save face in the next round, but he didn't know that the real nightmare had just begun.The night of December 2012, 12, US time, will be a night that Howard will remember for a lifetime.

After the entire first quarter, the Lakers led the opponent 27-15 by 12 points. Although Kobe's touch was relatively average and he only made 10 of 4 shots, due to Tang Qian's strong intervention, the Lakers dominated the game from the beginning. Absolute initiative.Why do you say that?Tang Qian picked up 15 rebounds in a single quarter, including 10 backcourt rebounds and 5 frontcourt rebounds, which directly disintegrated the Wizards' offense.Due to the lack of a large number of rebounds, the team's offensive rounds have decreased and the number of offenses has been reduced. In addition, the Wizards' shooting percentage is already very average, so it is rare for the Lakers to take a big lead this season.

"Hot, you've done a good job, keep up the form!" The head coach Mike D'Antoni patted Tang Qian's shoulder and said after the game, because his current situation is somewhat similar to that of Mike Brown. If the team's record does not improve, Although he will not be waived, he will inevitably suffer verbal criticism from the management and Los Angeles fans.Don't think that this kind of pressure is just a joke. Ordinary people don't feel comfortable even carrying a small lawsuit, and their spirits are depressed, let alone this "public enemy of the city" situation?Therefore, Tang Qian's "unexpected" performance gave Mike D'Antoni a bright feeling.

Originally, in Mike D'Antoni's tactical system, it was more repulsive for big guys over 7 feet, because of his "three seconds or less" concept, it was difficult for players over 7 feet to integrate.But the yellow man in front of him, he found something different.Although he has a height of more than 7 feet, whether it is moving speed or lateral agility, it is far beyond the standard of a center insider.It's almost at the level of a striker.

This is definitely an amazing thing!Mike D'Antoni said with some joy in his heart, because this means that this Chinese center has the possibility to integrate into his own tactical system.Originally, in "three seconds or less", the most lacking link is defense, which is the control of key rebounds. Due to the need to form a "running and bombing rhythm", this determines that it is impossible for most players to Too tall.As for the short super rebounder, there are very few in NBA history. Mike D'Antoni has no delusion that he can get it.After all, rebounding is still a big man's domain, even if he set off a "small ball whirlwind", it can't change this fact.

Looking at the "Big Three" in Miami, they are simply the "perfect prototype" of future basketball, but they have never solved the problem of rebounding.Basically, they are all in a weak position, which shows a flaw in the small ball tactics. The control of the basket and rebounds will never be as strong as traditional teams.Unless you can get a 2-meter rebound leader like Dennis Rodman or Wes Unseld, otherwise you will never be able to perfectly make up for this defect.

What about big players?It is also difficult to adapt to running and bombing.Look at Pau Gasol, the basic skills at the basket are solid, but if you want him to run and shoot, first of all, speed and agility are serious problems.That's why Mike D'Antoni doesn't like the Spaniard very much. There is also a reason for this. It's not that Gasol is not capable, but his style of play is difficult to integrate into the former's tactical philosophy.What's more, the Lakers still have Dwight Howard, and Gasol doesn't need to be responsible for low-post shots, so it's not difficult to understand that the Spaniard's team is the most important.

But this guy in front of me...maybe fills that gap.

To fill in the most lacking link in his tactical theory.

Originally, "Warcraft" also had this potential, but unfortunately he is too big, Mike D'Antoni can't use his arms at all, and Howard is too obsessed with scoring and singles at the basket, which is also in line with Mike D'Antoni's tactical system, Not very compatible.What he wants is an inside player who can keep up with the "running and bombing tactics", who can not stick to the ball, and who can work hard to do defensive tasks.Dwight Howard obviously doesn't meet this standard.

However, Mike D'Antoni is not the rookie coach who just coached. He quickly suppressed his emotions and prepared to observe Tang Qian for a few more games.Because of the explosive and explosive competition, there is basically not much reference.

Throughout the first quarter, Tang Qian scored 18 of the Lakers' 15 rebounds, while the Wizards on the opposite side only had 6 rebounds in total.

Very poor.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Mike D'Antoni did not replace the main players according to the regular time because the substitute lineup performed well.Except for No. 29 Tang Qian, as a member of the main lineup, Mike D'Antoni still put him on the court for "investigation".The shooting percentages of the two teams in this quarter were surprisingly high, 55.6% and 57.1% respectively. Under this high shooting rate, Tang Qian's rebounds naturally "shrunk", and he only got 7 rebounds in a single quarter.At the end of the first half, the Lakers led their opponents 58-45. Tang Qian grabbed 22 rebounds in the half.

But still only a few people have noticed something, most people haven't felt it yet, tonight will be a different night.

Record night.

In the Lakers locker room, "Warcraft" Howard was sullen, and he didn't show his joy because of the Lakers' big lead.

Why is this yellow-skinned guy so good at rebounding all of a sudden?What the hell!Just in time for him to explode? ? ?hateful! ! !

Howard is still angry and depressed now. He didn't expect it at all, and the greater shock is yet to come.

In the Wizards locker room, Nene was venting loudly: "shi.t~ How could he lose so many rebounds? Emeka must show off in the second half! Otherwise, the opponent's arrogance will only become more arrogant!" Emeka O By the 2012-2013 season, Cafu had basically lost much energy, so he could only nod dully without expressing much.

In the third quarter of the game, this was a battle of iron and steel. The shooting percentages of both sides fell to the ground. The Lakers' shooting percentage was only around 40%. What about the opposing Wizards?Worse, only 20.8%, 24 hits in 5 shots!Under this ultra-low shooting rate, Tang Qian once again took advantage of the situation to rise again, scoring 13 rebounds in a single quarter. At this time, the Lakers tasted the sweetness and used the offensive rounds and the number of offensives to grind their opponents to death.25-14 in a single quarter, 83-59 in three quarters, entered the fourth quarter with a full 24-point lead.

And starting from this quarter, someone finally noticed Tang Qian's "abnormal" data. Steve, the on-site commentator of the Wizards, said in the third quarter: "Phil, have you noticed that this Chinese has He scored more than 30 rebounds, which is an amazing record! The last person to reach 30+ rebounds, I remember, was Bynum of the Lakers last year, right?" Phil, another on-site commentator Chenier said: "That's right, it happened last season. I remember it happened against the San Antonio Spurs, right? I didn't expect someone to break this record so soon!"

"I don't know what step he can do? Watching such a milestone game is always easy to make people excited."

"Haha~ Let us wait and see~"

"This ugly guy!!! He actually scored so many rebounds in a single game??? Are you kidding me???" "Dan. Egg Fighter" Nene looked very angry. The first game was a "strong duel" between him and Tang Qian. "Nene, that guy isn't very ugly, I think it's quite pleasing to the eye." As soon as Okafor finished saying this, Nene said angrily: "What a fart! He looks like a girl in a movie." Same! It’s white and tender, it’s really disgusting to look at! It doesn’t look like a man at all!” “Really?” Okafor looked at the number 29, then turned around and secretly looked at Brazil next to him. The teammate said in a voice that only he could hear: "I still think he looks better."

PS: Dazhang is here, take a guess, whose team record is Tang Qian doing?Xiaozi’s writing is based on grounds, and it’s definitely not based on imagination~
