Chapter 423 Begging for Changes

dong dong dong~
Back to the original scene, Jerry West knocked on the door.

"Hey~ Big Dipper~ have you woken up yet? Or is there a naked blonde in the room?"

Tang Qian took a deep breath, then sat up and opened the door.

……

"Wilt is taking the wrong medicine? He didn't even smile during training? By the way, has he ever talked since he started training?"

"I don't know, it doesn't seem to be true, shi.t~ Today is not his 'period', right~ Then I have to stay away~"

"Wilt should have been dumped last night, so his self-esteem has been frustrated, and he is working hard to anesthetize himself!"

The Lakers were whispering about the unusual "Wilt Chamberlain" today.

Head coach Bill Sharman pulled Jerry West past him and asked in a low voice: "Jerry, what's wrong with Wilt? Why does he look so serious? Usually, he rarely sees this expression." Do you know what happened?" Jerry West shook his head and smiled wryly, "Mr. Salman, Wilt's private life has always been very rich, so I don't know what happened to him."

"But it's a good thing that he can get serious, isn't it?"

"Well, that's right, the Knicks are not easy to deal with." Bill Sharman nodded.

That night, there were more than 1 seats in the Great Western Forum Arena, and the on-site commentator Chick Hearn was explaining loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Great Western Forum Arena, I have I have a feeling that you will witness history tonight! Please cheer for our boys!"

After both sides warmed up, "Tang Qian" stepped onto the middle circle, because he is the No. 13 of the Lakers, so it should be taken for granted that he should start by scrambling for the ball.Before stepping up to the middle circle to scramble for the ball, "Tang Qian" said something to Jerry West in a low voice, saying:
"Jerry, I understand your feelings very well now."

"It sucks to be on the highest stage of basketball and never be a winner."

"It's even more humiliating and disgusting than not making the playoffs."

"So tonight...I will fight to the end!"

Hearing this, Jerry West was slightly taken aback, because he didn't know why No. 13 said this to him, but soon, West recovered, smiled and said: "You can finally understand ? I thought you would be careless until you retired."

After hearing this, Tang Qian shook his head and said, "Seeing the New Yorkers hold the cup continuously, I already saw that I was about to throw up."

ah?Seeing New Yorkers hold the trophy in a row?The New Yorkers held a championship trophy in front of you in total, right?how?

The words of No. 13 of the Lakers made Jerry West a little confused, but the former didn't explain much, and walked directly to the middle circle, preparing to compete with his opponent Jerry Lucas.This was a scrimmage without any suspense, because Jerry Lucas was only about 203cm tall, and it was easy for "Tang Qian" to defeat him.

"Hey, Wilt, look at your 'frustrated' face, did you expect that you will lose again?" Jerry Lucas is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is a "memory expert", Possesses the so-called "photographic memory" memory ability.So when it comes to talking trash, he is also very good at it, with a variety of tricks.

But for this person, "Tang Qian" is not unfamiliar at all, because the two of them have actually played against each other 8 times.So "Tang Qian", facing his routine, was very calm, very calm, not angry at all.The appearance of No. 13 of the Lakers surprised Jerry Lucas slightly, because Wilt Chamberlain was not known for his calmness on the court. He also felt that it was easy to provoke him when he played against him before. The other party's emotions come.But tonight, the other party seemed to be deaf, and didn't shake him off at all.

But Jerry Lucas is not someone who gives up so easily. He took advantage of the time when the referee was about to throw the ball, and continued to spray at "Tang Qian": "yoo~ It seems that tonight's 'Mr. Stilts', no Bring your ears to the Great Western Forum~"

'Mr. Stilts', this is one of Chamberlain's most hated nicknames. Usually when someone mentions it, he must be annoyed and angry, but tonight, Jerry Lucas' words only got him "Tang Qian" has a poker face.

No expression, no emotion, no fluctuations.

First, "Tang Qian" is not the real "Wilt Chamberlain", so he doesn't have much feeling for this "word".

Second, "Tang Qian" doesn't want to use his tongue now, because he can't win the ball and save the Los Angeles Lakers.

All his thoughts must be concentrated on the court.

How difficult this round of the series is, he knows better than anyone now.

So after losing 8 games, he just wanted to win, and his desire to win was so strong that it was almost overflowing.

It can even be said that playing basketball so far, there has never been a game where the desire to win is greater than it is now.

People are indeed forced out.

When you are ravaged once in a place, you may not feel deeply, and you will forget it in a few days.But what about when you've been raped 8 times in the same place?How would you feel about that feeling, that overwhelming external accusation?

Lu Wenhao said it well, don't die in silence, just explode in silence.

Tang Qian felt for the first time that he was eager to win, not just his previous hope of winning.

The difference of one word is a thousand miles away.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the NBA Finals begins, and our 'Big Dipper' wins the scrum!"

"Jerry made the first field goal, and his posture is still the same standard as always."

But Chick Hearn's words are considered "poisonous milk". Throughout the first quarter, Jerry West made 5 of 1 shots and hit the opening goal.The rest of the Lakers also didn't feel good. Except for Gail Goodrich, none of the others shot more than 25% from the field.On the opposite side, the feel is overwhelming, and the shooting percentage has reached a terrifying 70% or more. 39-20, leading the Los Angeles Lakers by almost half of the score in the first quarter.

And this did not exceed "Tang Qian's" expectations, because he had played the "first game" twice, and the opponent's overall feel in the first quarter has always been surprisingly high.As for myself, due to the influence of the "inner demon", his competitive state dropped by 2%, which made the situation worse.

It's not that he doesn't fight, but that the opponent's overall strength is too strong, with tacit cooperation, skillful tactics, and the team's chemical reaction seems to be much stronger than the Lakers.Moreover, the New York Knicks in the 70s were famous for their "iron defense", and there were almost no defensive loopholes in every position.The worst "Black Pearl" Monroe is due to the vigorous training of Knicks head coach Reed Holzman, and his defense has gradually become normal, exceeding the league average.

Who is Reed Holzman?During the player period, there was nothing to say, no bright spots, an iron bench substitute, and the team's main lineup never had his share.But when it came to the coaching period, he honed in the Bucks and Eagles for 4 years, and then quietly dormant for 10 years. In the 1967-1968 season, he suddenly "opened up" and became the hottest "Mesozoic" head coach in the league. one.And the essence of his return to the NBA "coach circle" is defense, iron defense, and even hand-to-hand defense.

No matter who you are, no matter what style of play you were before, as long as you are in his hands, you will immediately become a tough defensive guy and an expert in hand-to-hand combat.This is really not bragging. At the time of the Knicks, it was almost to the point of fear. Many players would frown when they heard that they would play against the Knicks at night, and some extreme ones would go to the nearby hospital first and make an appointment in advance. a bed.

It can be seen that Holzman's defensive training skills here, and the Knicks' iron-blooded style have officially entered people's impressions from him.Later, this person was successfully selected into the Coach Hall of Fame, and was named "one of the top ten head coaches" in NBA history.So in terms of coaching level, the Knicks are not worse than the Lakers at all, and they are on par with Bill Sharman.

"Damn it, the opponent's defense is messing around! Can't the referee see it?" Even Jerry West couldn't help being angry, and complained as soon as he returned to the Lakers' bench.Indeed, looking at the scratches on his arm, one can see how fierce Walter Fraser's defense is.The first team of the best defensive team 7 times in his career, "double first team" this season, has actually faintly surpassed Jerry West in terms of hard power, although the latter is also the winner of the "double first team" this season, but The direct counterpoint on the highest stage has already said it all.

He was a little confused about his opponent.

And he is the "peripheral leader" of the Lakers and the league's assist leader this season. If he is messed up, the Lakers' "super defensive counterattack" will be somewhat unable to play.It's no wonder West, the opposite Walter Fraser is almost 7 years younger than him, which is enough to replace the second generation of players in the NBA.Therefore, in the competition of physical fitness and athletic ability, he suffered a big loss in the hands of Walter Fraser.

It is not surprising that West struggled after falling behind his opponent in height, physical fitness, and athletic ability.

In fact, Reid Holzman had carefully and detailedly studied Bill Sharman's coaching system and tactics before the start of the series.After nearly a week of hard work, he finally found a way to deal with the "33 consecutive victories" team in the game video and game statistics.It's very simple, without it, just implement and strengthen your team's tactical system.

Because the most commonly used tactic of the Lakers this season is "super defensive counterattack", which is the original Boston set. frequency. The "pretentious" Reed Holzman believes that this tactic is "outdated" and "outdated". He only needs to resort to "hand-to-hand defensive tactics", sticking to the defense desperately, and sticking to the defense with all his might, can break Los Angeles The Lakers seem to have a "flowing clouds and flowing water" offensive mode.

In the original time and space, this plan should be regarded as half successful and half failed, with mixed reviews.

But in this time and space, it's almost like finding the Lakers' "fate".

Directly follow the "Team with the best record in history" and beat them fiercely.

What is the reason?The reason is that "Wilt Chamberlain" has become a non-"Wilt Chamberlain", so the original tactical system of the Lakers can no longer be played.In addition, "Tang Qian" could not replicate the explosive performance of "Chamberlain" in this round of the series, so the Los Angeles Lakers fell into a huge crisis in just the first quarter.

In the second quarter, although Bill Sharman arranged several effective tactics, and the Lakers players also scored these tactical goals, it was still "a drop in the bucket" and a bit "useless".After the second quarter, the Lakers trailed the opponent New York Knicks by 49 points 67-18.That is to say, Bill Sharman racked his brains to arrange the tactical ball and only recovered 1 point for the Lakers in a single quarter.

This situation made the atmosphere in the Lakers' bench area a little dull.

Tang Qian scored 2 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block in the half. The statistics are not good. There is no way. Comfortable.Tang Qian has already figured out this kind of "defensive system" based on him, and the current him can't support it at all.

That's why the Lakers played tied up and extremely uncomfortable in the first half.

After all, this defensive system was tailor-made by Bill Salman based on "Chamberlain", not "Tang Qian".So it is normal for him to be unable to control it for the time being, after all, he is not "Wilt Chamberlain" yet.The gap in hard power is basically all-round.

After fully understanding the problem, No. 13 of the Lakers took the initiative to speak for the first time:
"Mr. Salman, I think we need to change our game."
