Chapter 388 To Win

"Me, why are you yelling at me? My coaching ability is not good, and I have brought the team to this state, how dare you yell at me?" Howard also has a "superstar temper", so he was immediately unhappy, and opened his mouth to retort.Who would have thought that this would add fuel to the flames, causing Mike D'Antoni's sensitive nerves to shake again.

"My coaching ability is not good? Have you played well according to my tactics? You know how to go to the low post all day long and play singles. Do you think you are Ewing? Do you think you are O'Neal? The hit rate and turnover rate are so ridiculous. Dare to question my coaching ability?" Mike D'Antoni is actually much more tempered than Mike Brown, looking at what he did in New York and what he did in Phoenix, they are all very bold.

I supported Jeremy Lin in New York, so I was finally hugged by big-name players.

In the era when the traditional style of play was popular, he was the first to introduce small-ball tactics and run-and-gun tactics, and unlike previous small-ball coaches, he played brilliantly, and eventually even changed the style and style of play of the entire league.So he is different from former Lakers coach Mike Brown. He is a person with courage and character. At least, he has more character than Brown.

Hearing that Mike D'Antoni exposed his shortcomings in public, Dwight Howard was immediately annoyed. He stood up and said loudly, "Who do you say has ridiculous shooting and turnover rates??? Don't think that If I call you head coach, you will go to heaven, and I tell you, in my heart, you are simply an incompetent head coach, unworthy of being in charge of the warship of the 'Four Heavenly Kings'!"

"I'm incompetent? I don't deserve it?" Mike D'Antoni was also annoyed, remembering the patience he had endured in recent times, he was not afraid of the tall "Warcraft", and said: "Then I will show you the victory today!" After Mike D'Antoni finished speaking, he pointed to Tang Qian and said, "Hot, you will play later to replace this rude guy! Then everyone, work together to win this game!"

"Not for me, but also for your jerseys!"

"Not for the jerseys you wear, but also for the honor of your professional players!"

"Tonight's game, everyone must win, and if I win, I will treat the whole team to a big meal!"

"Michelin three-star restaurant in downtown Los Angeles, everyone chooses!"

Under the mobilization of these words, the atmosphere of the entire Lakers team improved a lot in an instant. It can be seen that Mike D'Antoni is still more than Mike Brown as the head coach.Although not as good as those famous NBA coaches and Qiansheng coaches, among ordinary NBA coaches, his ability is definitely above average.

"Everyone get on the field!!!" Mike D'Antoni clapped his hands and shouted loudly.

During this period of time, the entire Lakers team has been suppressed too much, from players to coaches, without exception, so they all need a vent.And Tang Qian saw Mike D'Antoni's gaze, then nodded slightly, took off his thermal training clothes, and looked up to play.

Maybe Mike D'Antoni is not a famous coach, maybe he trusts himself, and that's enough.

After all, in the NBA, it is not uncommon for famous coaches not to win the championship trophy. There are several coaches of Qiansheng who have never got their hands on the Larry O'Brien Cup.So not being a famous coach does not mean that there is no chance to win the championship. This kind of example runs through the history of the NBA for more than 60 years, and it is not uncommon.A little farther away, such as Doc Rivers, if it weren't for the "Hulk", he wouldn't be able to touch the NBA championship trophy at all. He is a head coach whose winning rate in the regular season is much higher than that in the playoffs.Another example is Tom Heinsohn, who is also a player-turned-head coach, and he still has two championships in his career.Another example is Bill Fitch, who has a long coaching career. He has only one championship in his 2-year coaching career. He still got a ride from Larry Bird. Otherwise, with his 25% winning rate in the regular season, he would like to win a championship. , extremely difficult.The same is true for KC Jones, who has made 46 finals and won 5 championships. He got on the line of "Big Bird" Bird. His coaching career was only 2 years and he changed 10 teams to achieve this result.In fact, regardless of his 3 years of coaching in the Celtics, the regular season is indeed good, with a high winning rate, but the playoffs are also terrible. In the first three years of the Bullets, the winning rate of the playoffs never exceeded 5%. The Sonics have an even worse winning percentage in the playoffs, only 48%.Therefore, his 40% playoff winning rate in his career is all dependent on the Celtics for 58.7 years.

A little closer, the same is true for the head coach of the Heat this season. Relying on the Big Three in Miami, they won 2 NBA championships in a few years.

So if possible, Tang Qian is willing to bring a championship trophy to the coach who trusts him.

It doesn't matter what the head coach's coaching level is.

Because this is his oriental plot.

It's a pity that Mike Brown missed it in such a muddle.

After changing this lineup to play, Mike D'Antoni was actually drumming in his heart, because it was unreasonable to suppress a superstar player and let a substitute player play.It’s okay if you win, everyone will praise you for being eclectic and tough in coaching, but if you lose, fans, reporters, experts, and management probably won’t let him go.

The Lakers ball, Kobe took a shot, Duang~, and couldn't hit the Jazz's basket.

Because of Howard's crazy shots, Kobe has only shot twice so far.

However, these two shots were all smashed.

The Jazz lineup still has merits. The first is that there is no real center insider. The tallest is Al Jefferson, who is only 208cm tall.The second is that the average height is very good. Except for Randy Foye who plays guard, the other four are all big men over 203cm, with both mobility and body height.Although there is no real basket protector, the overall defensive efficiency is not bad.In fact, this Randy Foye is also a person who can be replaced at any time, because Tyrone Corbin has another killer feature, that is, the "five front line" lineup, which is very similar to Pat Riley's "future basketball" theory .

However, this "five strikers" lineup has not been well adjusted, so it is temporarily inconvenient to play together for too long.

Tang Qian wanted to compete for this offensive rebound, but soon, he discovered the problem, and he underestimated his opponent.

Although the Jazz don't have a big man over 210cm, their average rebounding ability is terrible.Look at the 4 strikers on the field now, Al Jefferson averaged 9.2 rebounds per game, Paul Millsap averaged 7.1 rebounds per game, Derek Favors averaged 7.1 rebounds per game, and There is Marvin Williams, who is not very good at rebounding, but has a height of 206cm.The advantage of this lineup is that everyone has good rebounding ability, and everyone can be responsible for blocking the top man, and then let his teammates get the rebound.

If he didn't pay attention, Marvin Williams stood in front of Tang Qian, and he didn't even take off, just to block people.What about Gasol?He was also held back by Paul Millsap, preventing him from getting close to the bounce area of ​​the rebound.In the end, the rebound was taken down by Jazz Al Jefferson.

Then they launched a fast break, and Derrick Favors dunked the net.

26-39, the Lakers' score difference was widened to 13 points.

Seeing this, Mike D'Antoni regretted it a little, because the Jazz's top man strategy at the basket cannot be broken without a strong center.Although Gasol has a height of 7 feet, his athletic ability and physical strength are not good. It is okay to protect the backcourt rebounds. If he wants to count on the frontcourt rebounds, his hope is relatively slim. What about the 29th?Can he crack this rebounding defense?

If not, for the team's victory, he can only be cheeky and continue to replace Dwight Howard.

It turned out to be such a rebounding tactic?Sure, I didn't expect this unknown Tyrone Corbin to have such a hand!
However, this tactic has a fatal shortcoming. Although it greatly strengthens the protection and rushing of rebounds under the basket, but because too many people enter the penalty area, once the rebound misses, it is easy to be pushed by someone for a fast break or A second long-range strike directly.Tang Qian saw this, but the head coach of the Jazz, Tyrone Corbin, was not nervous, because seeing it and being able to crack it were two different things.It's like Michael Jordan's fadeaway jumper, the whole world knows he's going to do it, but then what?However. And. Eggs.

He didn't believe that an oriental man could break through his rebounding defensive tactic.

This year is the third year he took over the old Sloan team, and he entered the playoffs in the second year of the reconstruction last year, which also gave the new head coach great confidence.It's a pity that all of these are bubbles and reflections, and last year was also the pinnacle of his entire coaching career.

Gasol's whole state is dissociated. Injuries, system, mentality, pressure, etc., all overwhelm the Spaniard.This season even played the worst data of his career.Yes, you read that right, it is the worst in his career. The current basic data of 13+8 is much worse than that of his rookie season. He made 46% of his field goals and also fell to the bottom of his career.The Spaniard is different from Kobe. He is the kind of person who is easily influenced by the outside world. Fans, journalists and experts saw him play such shitty data, and immediately sprayed it, as if Gasol was no longer suitable for continuing to play. The NBA is the same.But all this is an illusion. Once Gasol regains his confidence and correct position on the team, he will still have the strength of an All-Star power forward.

The future 2 into the All-Star lineup is evidence.

But now, Tang Qian can't count on him, because of Gasol's slump, this season is no longer once or twice this season.

Want to wake him up instantly, Tang Qian is not a magician, he can't do this.

Therefore, he can only rely on himself.

The Lakers attacked, Ci Shiping made a long-range three-pointer, missed, and went out of the basket.

"Grab the basketball!"

The players of the Lakers shouted towards the inside of the Jazz.

But listening to the Jazz coach's ears, it was a waste of effort. He looked at his own inside line and thought:

Without super strong inside players, you still want to break through my defensive lineup?It's just too ridiculous!Was it just a sleepwalking Spaniard and a replacement Oriental?
Tang Qian couldn't hear this inner monologue, otherwise he would definitely tell him, you are too stinky! ! !

Do you really think this lineup is unbreakable?So how did your Jazz lose 42 of 19 games?

Tang Qian looked at the orange-red basketball flying high, and said in his heart, rebounding, this is his strong point.

Moreover, he practiced for a whole offseason, sweating profusely, and was "tortured" crazily, for what?
Isn't it just for now?

Yes, just for now.

Now is the time for me, Tang Qian, to express myself.

"Can the Lakers grab rebounds? Alas, the Jazz's rebounding defense tactics are too strong. Hot and Gasol have two Jazz forwards to block the top man. It is estimated that it will be difficult..." Lakers Before the team's on-site commentator Stu Lantz finished speaking, Bill McDonald, who was sitting next to him, explained loudly: "The situation has changed. Iron has got rid of Marvin Williams' top man, and he grabbed At the front, he and Derek Favors took off together, he... he got the rebound one step earlier than Derek Favors!"

This is Tang Qian's first personal data in this game, and offensive rebounds are recorded.

After he got the ball, he quickly passed it out, and Steve Nash made an open shot.

brush~
Three points hollow into the net.

29-39, due to Nash's three-pointer, the score difference is only 10 points.

What?He actually grabbed the rebound?Or offensive rebounding? ? ?
The head coach of the Jazz was slightly taken aback.

Since the Jazz's lineup consists of four strikers, except for Randy Foye and Marvin Williams, the rest of them have no three-point shooting ability.Paul Millsap developed the three-pointer ability when he went to Atlanta in the future, but that will be a matter of next season. This season, his three-pointer shots are still only 0.5 times, and he basically does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers. ability.

And Kobe posted Foye, and Metta World Peace posted Marvin Williams. In this way, the Jazz's two three-pointers basically disappeared.Especially the latter, because Marvin Williams is too tall, so his footsteps are not particularly fast, which just suits Ci Shiping's appetite.Because Ci Shiping's defensive speed has degraded to the limit this season, it is almost a one-step rhythm for him to defend speed players.But against players who are not fast, he can still play a little bit of heat.After all, when it comes to physical fitness, Marvin Williams' body weighing less than 240 pounds is really no match for Ci Shiping.

So in this way, the Jazz's main attack direction has become the inside line.

Tang Qian glanced at the penalty area, ready to help defend and fill positions at any time.

"Derrick Favors caught the ball hard, Gasol's reaction was a bit slow, the ball was about to go in... oh~ hot appeared, he stretched out his hand to interfere with the opponent, Derek Favors missed the ball Already!"

After successfully defending against the interference, Tang Qian quickly exerted his strength, took off for the second time, and grabbed the defensive rebound.

Steve Nash didn't enter the inside lane at all, so he dribbled the ball and made a fast break. After the Jazz's chasing players approached, he made a random toss, and even finished an alley-oop with the old Mamba.You must know that this kind of ball has basically disappeared in Kobe's game after 12 years, but tonight, fans at the Staples Center saw it again.

"Alley-oop~~~" Bill McDonald shouted loudly, and the passionate voice spread to the entire Staples audience.

31-39, the score difference is only single digits.

The Jazz attacked again, this time it was Paul Millsap's down attack, but Tang Qian gave him a hat.The basketball was picked up by Al Jefferson of the Jazz, and he quickly attacked again, trying to pick up a bargain.But in the same way, a big hand, like a ghost, flew in front of his eyes. Although he failed to directly block the shot, it also made Al Jefferson miss the shot.

Tang Qian scored a defensive rebound again.

Then without hesitation, he directly made a long pass and made a fast break.

Steve Nash assisted Metta Shiping and made a layup.

33-39，仅仅3分钟不到，比分差就从最大13分变成了6分。

This made Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin shout loudly from the sidelines: "Concentrate! Give me concentration!!!"

As if Tyrone Corbin's shout had worked, the Jazz hit a half-stop on the next possession, 33-41.

Al Jefferson, who made the goal, made an arrogant move towards the Lakers. Those who didn't know thought he was possessed by a superstar in this game.Tang Qian looked at No. 25 of the Jazz, picked up his eyes, and then ran to the frontcourt.

The ball turned into a positional battle. Steve Nash made a pick-and-roll gesture. Tang Qian reacted immediately, and then raised it from the inside, instantly blocking Nash's defender Randy Fowler. yeah.Nash took the opportunity to break through, and then took a jump shot. The two Jazz players ran to cover the block, but at this moment, the Lakers passed the ball on the 10th.With a flick of his wrist, he changed from shooting to passing, and then a figure drove straight in and flew into the sky.

Boom! ! !

Big dunk with one hand! ! !
"NT!!!" Bill McDonald also yelled out an English abbreviation that he had never yelled out for some reason.

And this English abbreviation happened to be the combination of Nash and Tang Qian's surname abbreviations.

35-41, Tang Qian glanced at Al Jefferson, made the same move, and then turned back to defend.

This scene was clearly recorded by the camera. After Al Jefferson was stunned for a moment, his expression instantly turned angry and said:

Damn Orientals!

Al Jefferson is not the kind of player with a particularly clear head, so when Tang Qian was a little excited, his brain became hot.

Forcibly singles, was successfully defended by Tang Qian.

Basketball crashes.

Kobe came in and took the defensive rebound, then passed the ball to Nash, and quickly ran towards the frontcourt.

The Jazz's defense was timely. Seeing that there was no chance for a fast break, Nash immediately stopped the ball near the top arc, but soon his eyes lit up, and then he passed the ball with both hands from outside the three-point line.A long-distance pass from beyond the three-point line is a test of passing skills, and it is very easy for ordinary people to make mistakes when passing in this way.But this is not a problem for Steve Nash at all, So.easy.

"This is... alley-oop!!! Crash!!!" Bill McDonald said loudly, "From NT~~~~~~"

37-41, the Lakers made another 2-pointer.

At this time, there are only 30 seconds left before the end of the second quarter. The Jazz want to fight a positional battle.

Watching the attack time on the timer go by every minute and every second, all the players in the field focused their attention.

The Jazz want to enter the second half with an advantage of at least 6 points. The Lakers naturally want to defend and then take the opportunity to play a quick offense in an attempt to further narrow the gap between the two sides.

It started. Randy Foye of the Jazz dribbled forward. He called a high pick-and-roll, and then broke through quickly. Tang Qian and Gasol hurried over to defend.But this ball, Randy Foye did not shoot himself, but chose to pass.However, the quality of this pass is not high, because Randy Foye's organizational ability has always been a technical weakness, and it is not easy to pass it like this.Al Jefferson barely catches the pass, then hardens at the basket, and with his size advantage, he manages to drive past Pau Gasol and shoots.

The ball went in!
As soon as the basketball was shot, Al Jefferson had a premonition.

But someone just wanted to destroy his sense of self, and with a "snap", the basketball was sent flying.

Then the Lakers made a fast break on the third line, and it turned out that the figures were Nash, Kobe, and No. 29 Tang Qian who had just completed the block.

Nash passed the ball to Kobe, and when Kobe was about to play himself, someone from the Jazz rushed back, and he was Paul Millsap.But this couldn't stop the Black Mamba's determination to attack, he forced a layup, and after the basketball rolled around the rim...it fell out?

This……

Kobe obviously didn't expect this to happen. After all, according to his vision, 95% of this kind of ball will score.

It's a pity that I happened to meet the remaining 5%.

"Oh~ what a pity, Bryant missed the last layup, the Lakers halftime... hoooo~ dunk! China hot dunk! He successfully dunked the ball!!!"

39-41，唐潜上场4分15秒拿下了6分2记盖帽4个篮板1次助攻的数据。

The Lakers were only 2 points behind entering the second half.

After the lights were turned on, Steve Nash patted Tang Qian's arm with a smile and said, "Young man, you worked hard today."

"Of course." Tang Qian nodded, and then said seriously: "Because I don't want to lose again in this game, I want to win, I want to win."

And this sentence was just right, and the number 24 of the Lakers who walked over heard it.

PS: The turbulent second half of the schedule is about to begin, and the entire Lakers team will work hard for the playoffs!
