Chapter 418 Defense Improvement

"Dwight, what are you doing??? You can't even pass the ball???" During the intermission, in the Lakers locker room, head coach Mike D'Antoni was yelling loudly.He couldn't help but not be angry, the score that Howard had been struggling to catch up to, was all in vain after "one hit".

Now the Lakers don't have many games to "splurge". Mike D'Antoni couldn't help but reprimanded Howard like this: "I tell you, if there are vacancies later, if you are double-teamed and don't pass, then Just roll off and sit on the bench! I am definitely not joking with you this time! Do you understand?"

Howard suddenly had a feeling of "betrayal". He scanned the locker room of the Lakers. There were more than a dozen people, but none of them supported him.Leave Orlando by yourself?Really right?Is it really right to come to Los Angeles?
He was confused, and then a "perverted sense of revenge" suddenly emerged. He looked at all the members of the Lakers coldly, and opened his mouth and said, "You all have thought about it? Right? Everyone supports him? Don't support me, right?" ?” Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, not understanding what Howard meant.

"Dwight, what are you talking about? What is supporting him and not supporting you? It's still game time, you..." Howard interrupted Mike D'Antoni and continued: "You all feel that this 'team building' Battle of the winners', I'm going to lose, right?"

"Let me tell you, don't be too happy too early. In the final result, what he said doesn't count, and what he said doesn't count. Only the management can make this decision, understand?" Seeing Howard pointing to the head coach Pointing to Nash and Gasol again, Kobe frowned, stood up and said, "Howard, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Now is the time to talk about this kind of thing?"

"Yeah, why not?" Howard said something that made Kobe "explode in place", and said: "Anyway, the Lakers won't be able to make the playoffs this season, right? In this case, it's better to give me... "Kobe was furious, grabbed Howard's jersey, and shouted: "Shit! Shit! What did you say? Tell me again? Do you have the guts to say it again???"

Howard didn't expect Kobe's mood to fluctuate so much, but he was not afraid of the latter. Relying on his strong body, he pushed away Kobe's right hand and said, "Bryant, I think it's because of your old arms and legs. I only respect you for the sake of it, don't make fun of yourself, shameless!"

"What?!" Seeing the "Happy Beast" in front of him repeatedly making insulting remarks, Kobe, who was bleeding with purple and gold blood, became furious.

What is violent?Just rushed up and punched "Warcraft" Howard in the face.

And this punch officially broke the relationship between Kobe and Howard.

It will never be possible to fix it again.

The patience of most of the season on the 24th disappeared.

Howard didn't seem to have thought that Kobe would actually make a move, so he didn't react immediately, his face was square, and he took the old punch of No. 24.But since it is called "Warcraft", Howard's physical fitness is not a joke. He quickly adjusted, and then his eyes were red, and he was about to pounce in Kobe's direction.

With Howard's weight, if Kobe is really overwhelmed, the latter will be at a disadvantage in an instant.

It seems that Howard's fighting instinct is still good, at least he has considerable qualifications.

However, it is a pity that he failed to complete this "cull" action, because just halfway through the "cull", his body was restrained, and then he could not move.The "Cheng Yaojin" who came out from behind was none other than No. 29 Tang Qian.Because of some words of the Lakers No. 12, he also annoyed him.

So he just kept on doing nothing and became Kobe's "accomplice".

Such benefits, at least kill three birds with one stone.

"Kobe, come on, beat him up!" Tang Qian said directly.

Seeing the reversal of the situation, Kobe immediately rushed forward without saying a word, a "combo punch", and the "Warcraft" who couldn't fight back was dizzy, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.Who told Howard to fight back just now?This can only make No. 24 more angry and annoyed!

Kobe is really a "determined" master. He decided to tear his face apart with the opponent, so there is no reason to "give in" and "forbear". The "crackling" fat beating stunned everyone in the locker room .Including Mike D'Antoni and Steve Nash.

D'Antoni looked back at Nash, as if to say, is this what you mean by "good"?
No matter how wrong they are, they can't fight among themselves!
Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will definitely deal a big blow to the public image of the Lakers.

Neither the team management nor the owner will spare themselves easily.

Steve, I have been tricked by you this time!
Nash was also in a state of astonishment, because the development of the matter had obviously exceeded his "expected".

This is due to his miscalculation of the internal pressure on the Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers have experienced ups and downs this season, and they have been ridiculed, but they are also extremely exposed. Under such circumstances, there are actually some tiny lesions in everyone's heart.Usually, it is just being actively suppressed, which does not mean that it disappears.This lesion is like a virulent virus, as long as there is a slight gap, it will attack violently and attack the host's sanity and rationality.

Not to mention these ordinary players, even Kobe, why didn't he need to vent?
Beating up Howard tonight has become a "venue to vent".

In just about 1 minute, Kobe and Howard were actually separated, but it was also this 1 minute that made Howard almost bleed out and his face was disfigured.But even if there was no bleeding, the bruises and redness were quite astonishing, because it was obvious that Kobe didn't intend to hold back much just now, and grabbing Howard was just a way to vent.

Howard is an NBA star with good physical fitness, that's true, but Kobe is also an NBA star. After being punched by him so many times, our "Warcraft" didn't recover for a long time.

Taking advantage of Howard's lack of recovery, Kobe said loudly: "Who dares to say nonsense like 'the Lakers can't make the playoffs' in the next game, then he is an example, and he will end! Listen to it!" Do you understand?" Since everyone felt somewhat disgusted with Howard, Kobe's move changed the atmosphere in the locker room, and his fighting spirit was revived immediately.

Kobe glanced at Tang Qian vaguely, then nodded unnoticed.

This is the expression of "Black Mamba", how could Tang Qian not understand?

So after seeing this scene, Tang Qian knew that he was doing the right thing. In the future with the Lakers, his room for development will be wider and more unlimited.This is an important step in improving the status of the team.

After all, not everyone is LeBron James, who can be promoted to the position of "head star" as soon as he enters the team. Most of them are like Kobe, McGrady, and Tang Qian, step by step, to the top.So Tang Qian did this out of both public and selfish intentions.

64-52, the Lakers started the second half.

At the beginning of the game, the fans at the Staples Center discovered a change in the Lakers.

The center became Tang Qian again, not the usual Dwight Howard.

"Huh? Howard didn't appear in the player tunnel again? Where did he go?" Bill McDonald asked with some doubts.

"According to the news just received, Howard should not play in the second half of the game due to physical discomfort." Another on-site commentator, Stu Lantz, explained half a minute later. "I'm not feeling well? Could it be that the back injury has recurred? Oh~ Poor 'Warcraft'~"

And Tang Qian had just set foot on the field when "Different Space" issued a "task card". The task content was very simple, and Tang Qian was required to win the game.One random ability card will be rewarded for success, and three random ability cards will be deducted for failure.

Tang Qian has long been used to the suddenness of "Different Space", so after reading it, he retreated with a flat face.

win?win this game?Does this still need you to say?

This is... a must!
Seeing Tang Qian coming up, Blake Griffin immediately had a "target to vent his anger", because in fact, he was more unhappy with Dwight Howard than Dwight Howard.Why?Because in his eyes, Howard is still capable and qualified, but the oriental man in front of him, why should he?What strength does he have?What qualifications does he have?Isn't it just because you are Chinese, so there are many "naval troops", can you swipe your tickets?You squeezed out my All-Star starter, and I must pay you back tenfold!
This season, he is still a "slam dunk maniac". The number of dunks in the season of more than 200+ represents his total points in the season, and almost one-third of them are dunks.After deducting the 5+ free throws per game, one of the 3 shots was a dunk.This ratio is extremely rare in the current NBA league.Even "UFO" Vince Carter has never had a season with more than 90 dunks. In fact, let alone a season with 111+ dunks, he has never appeared.Tim Duncan, who is also a power forward, only had 174 times in the highest season, and Garnett was about the same, so calling Griffin a "slam dunk maniac" is not a problem at all.In the first four seasons of his career, he had at least 5 dunks. Except for the No. [-] position, he is considered "the only one" in the league.

So in the first four years, his strongest nirvana was dunking into a bottle.

And the way he wants to "teach" Tang Qian is to dunk.

Compared with the last match, this guy's dunking skills have obviously improved a lot, so Tang Qian didn't take it lightly.

Only two minutes after the start of the third quarter, Blake Griffin seized the opportunity, received Paul's touch pass, and then vigorously flew into the air, soaring like a falcon, directly killing the Lakers' basket.Don't look at him as a "little short hand", but his jumping ability is really not flickering, extremely terrifying, and his momentum is quite fierce, which is more impactful than the average 2th dunk.

"Griffin dunked, the Lakers' basket is hot, can he block the opponent's dunk?"

In the voice of Bill McDonald's commentary, Tang Qian also took off. As the 5th position, his only thought was to protect the basket and cover the attacker.But on this ball, Griffin's dunk once again made Tang Qian look at him with admiration.Because compared to last season, his dunk speed is faster and his strength is stronger. This may be due to the NBA professional training, which has greatly improved his physical fitness and muscle strength.

bang~
Dunk into the basket, Tang Qian did not block the dunk.

After all, the opponent is the active "Presidential Mountain Buckle General" in the league. Tang Qian's ability to block shots is good, but he is still defensive, a bit reluctant.Because he always felt that it wasn't his ability to block shots, but his defensive ability, which didn't quite match him. As a result, many balls that could have been blocked were missed one by one.For example, Griffin's two-handed dunk is one of them. In Tang Qian's feeling, it is not a goal that cannot be blocked.

But the final result is that there is no block.

Tang Qian felt a little stuffy.

"Oriental, you can't!" After falling from the basket, Griffin deliberately smiled at Tang Qian and said loudly.

It's normal to miss a block. If you really can block the ball, it will be a ghost. The NBA will probably kick you out of the league.

But why would the block miss?This is what Tang Qian is most concerned about.

Because the ball just now, in his opinion, was not unstoppable, it was just that he failed to defend.

defense?Could it be that the defensive end has not done enough?
Tang Qian thought of the key to the problem.

In fact, blocking is only a kind of defense. It belongs to defense, but it is not equal to defense. It is just the last line of defense for basket protection.Before that, if you want to improve the success rate of blocking shots, excellent defensive control is indispensable.Tang Qian lacked this procedure, which is why he was so easily scored by Blake Griffin.

The defensive strength before the block must be improved!

Tang Qian thought this way. In the Lakers offensive round, Kobe missed a strong shot and was protected by the Clippers with a rebound.

I don't know if it was intentional, but Blake Griffin rushed towards the inside of the Lakers again, and then took off for a dunk.

The operation mode of this ball is very similar to the operation mode of Tang Qian + Nash, but Griffin's technology is a little better than the former, so the chances of getting it are relatively more.After catching the ball and making an empty cut for a dunk, "White Monster" hit the Lakers basket with one arm.

It was a simple frontal dunk again, and Tang Qian felt slighted for a while, because this kind of dunk, with low technical content, is simply bullying you, eating you by force, making you angry but powerless.After two seasons of baptism, he, Blake Griffin, can be said to have dunked all the insiders in the league, so when he faced Tang Qian, he felt a little disapproving, which is normal.

He just felt from the bottom of his heart that the opponent couldn't guard him, couldn't cover him.

That's why it's so "careless" and simple.

"Griffin took off again, and he was still standing between him and the Lakers basket. This time, can he succeed?" Bill McDonald quickly explained.Tang Qian didn't jump in a hurry this time. He stood under the basket of the Lakers, waiting for Griffin's approach.

Finally Tang Qian took off. He wanted to stage a "low basket block", but what is a "super dunker" in the league?That is, in addition to dunking beautifully, there is also the ability to change dunks in an instant.Because many wonderful slam dunks come from "forced by the situation" and "spiritual inspiration", rather than appearing in the slam dunker's mind from the very beginning.

Blake Griffin obviously has this ability.

Seeing that Tang Qian was about to "block the shot with a low basket", a slight sneer flickered at the corner of his mouth, and he continued to fly towards the Lakers' basket without changing his posture.

Well, he didn't change his dunk position!It didn't turn a dunk into a layup either!
This ball, I am very hopeful to block it!

But the facts proved that Tang Qian was still too naive. As a "superior league dunk general", how could he be so hot?After two and a half seasons of tempering, Griffin's dunk ability and dunk skills this season have basically matured.So during this period of time, he often dunked some "shocking" dunks.

Seeing Tang Qian's hand stretched over the basket, Griffin twisted his waist, and then changed his whole body from the front to the side. This was to use his torso to cover the basketball... With a "bang", he dodged Overwhelmed Tang Qian's block and succeeded in a second dunk.

This slam dunk is very beautiful. If nothing else, it must be the top ten balls of the week.

"Your shot-blocking level is not enough, haha~" Griffin said with two slams on Tang Qian, as if he let out a bad breath.

"Hot, are you okay? Don't think too much about it. That guy's dunk ability is at the abnormal level." Paul Gasol thought that Tang Qian had been dunked, so he approached him and comforted him.Tang Qian shook his head, he was lost in thought, wouldn't it work to "block the cap with a low basket"?No, it's not that "low-basket blocking" is not good, but that one's own "Taoism" is not enough, and this trick can't be used well.Because the last time he blocked James, he relied on the power of the silver block card. In fact, with his current self, he was basically unable to do this well.

So I can only find a way from other aspects.

Otherwise, if they are detained a few more times, the overall momentum of the Lakers will be completely crushed.

This is by no means alarmist talk, because dunking is originally the easiest way to drive the atmosphere and momentum on the basketball court.As one ebbs and the other rises, the morale of the Lakers will decline, and finally they will never recover.

Potential, in a basketball game, although intangible, is no less important than other winning elements.

Whether it is offense or defense, as long as the momentum is up, it can serve the purpose of strengthening oneself and suppressing the opponent.

As the offensive side, the best way to increase "potential", dunk is undoubtedly one of them.

You must think of other ways to prevent Griffin from continuing to dunk!

But Tang Qian wanted to think so, but it was extremely difficult to actually do it.

He has vaguely felt that the momentum of the Clippers has risen. If this problem cannot be solved in this quarter, then the game will enter garbage time early in the next quarter.This will also be a huge negative blow to the Lakers' subsequent games.

After all, the Lakers have been roasted on the fire for a long time, and if they continue to roast, it may not necessarily turn into black coke.Don't talk about other people, even if you are yourself, don't you become more and more anxious, more and more anxious?
In the last 2012-2013 season, the Lakers did make it to the playoffs, but the problem is that history cannot be changed.

Although it is extremely difficult, it can also be deflected.

Tang Qian was really afraid that this "historical process" had been changed because of his arrival.

Gasol stormed inside and got 2 points with difficulty.

The Clippers attacked, DeAndre Jordan made a strong attack at the basket, and was interfered by Tang Qian. He grabbed the offensive rebound and attacked again, but he still didn't make it. Tang Qian's long arms made "Little Jordan" suffer a lot . "Little Jordan" originally also had a pair of good long arms, which exceeded his height by 17cm, but even so, he still lost to Tang Qian's super wingspan of 7 feet 9 inches.Not to mention the item of standing and touching height. Although 287cm is good, it depends on who you compare it with.

"Little Jordan" took the rebound again. This is not because Tang Qian's rebounding ability has declined, but he has been defending the former, so it is impossible to switch actions instantly.No matter how fast the human body reacts, there is a limit. It is almost impossible to balance shots and rebounds, especially for unblocked balls. If you want to catch rebounds at the same time, it is a bit of luck.

If you can really take care of it every time, then congratulations... See you at the secret laboratory of the United States.

White coats and scientific madmen will warmly welcome your arrival.

Just when DeAndre Jordan was about to take the third shot, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Don't force it, pass it to me, DeAndre!" As soon as "Little Jordan" heard it, he knew who this person was, and immediately turned around. He turned around and passed the basketball in his hand.

Take a closer look, who is the receiver of the Clippers if not No. 32 Blake Griffin?

Seeing his teammates being blocked frequently, the "White Demonic Beast" is about to jump out to be the rescuer.

Do you really think... I'm not a dish?
Seeing the opponent's gaze, Tang Qian shrank his eyes and pupils and said.

What is your look?Want to eat me?But you can't do it!

With the first two dunks as the basis, now Blake Griffin is quite confident, just like "three dunks in a row", as easy as he can get.But at this moment, Tang Qian changed his defensive method and moved out of the penalty area immediately.

Seeing this scene, Griffin became inexplicable.

PS: The outbreak is complete, thank you for your support~
The new plot is about to start, and I'm a little excited after thinking about it~
Xiao Zi is late woo woo woo~
