Chapter 436

This is a tough game to play.

G7, also known as "tie-break", is the most "torturing" time in a round of the series.

What's more, the Lakers are about to play the seventh game of the finals. This kind of pressure is far from any ordinary game and can be compared.Historically, the Los Angeles people are indeed not very good at "tie-break games". At least in the 60s and 70s, their record made it difficult to raise their heads.

"Boys, cheer up! If you win tonight, I will distribute bonuses to you on the spot! Look at the box over there! If you win, it's all yours!" said the current owner of the Lakers, Jack. In order to boost the morale of the team, Kent Cook personally came to the Lakers player locker room, and then continued the "dollar stimulus method".

U.S. dollars are a good thing, let alone in the 60s and 70s, a few thousand dollars was a huge sum of money.

But the atmosphere of the team is still a little dull.

There is no way, the closer the game starts, the clearer and more real the scenes from 2 years ago.

The psychological factor may not be obvious in the regular season, but after entering the playoffs, it will be magnified ten times in an instant.Many veterans clearly have "a mess" and "extremely mediocre" regular season statistics, but why are they still "hot spots" for many teams?The reason for nothing is to prepare for the series.Compared with many young players, veterans have rich experience in the playoffs, know how to play, seize opportunities, and reduce mistakes. There are even some veterans who deliberately "waterproof" and "play dead" in the regular season, and suddenly "play dead" when they enter the playoffs. Wake up", as if they were different from the regular season.

Typical examples are "Old Fish" Fisher, Robert Horry, Andre Iguodala, Tim Duncan and so on.

The nomination of these people does not mean how much his average data in the playoffs has improved, but the role and performance of the court. Compared with the regular season, it has been completely enhanced by one level or even several levels.In the 60s and 70s, the New York Knicks had this kind of person, and he was No. 10 Walter Frazier.Unfortunately, the Lakers did not.

At least this season, no.

Because No. 44, who played this role before, has all fallen to the bottom in terms of efficiency and ability this season. Let alone helping the Lakers score key goals, thank God for being able to do his job well.So the Lakers suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of anxiety and crisis.

West wants to "stand up", but his current competitive state...

On the New York side, through the reversal of G6, their morale has greatly increased in this game. Looking at the Lakers, they are like wolves, eager to start the game.On the Lakers side, because "Mr. Key" West couldn't exert his strength, before the fight started, the atmosphere in the locker room fell silent.

This kind of thing is called a mental state. Although the Lakers have entered the finals many times, there is not a single person who has the breath of a championship.Even if you add the substitute players on the bench, there is none... except for the Lakers' No. 13, Wilt Chamberlain.As a team that has entered the finals frequently since the 60s, there is no champion member. This kind of thing is the only case in the entire NBA history.So unknowingly, "Tang Qian" became the "hidden support" of this locker room.

There is no other reason, but he has a championship ring on his hand.

That's all there is to it.

It is enough to be the whole reason.

Tang Qian seemed to have noticed this situation, and after thinking about it, he stood up vigorously.

Why use the word "powerful"?Because Tang Qian is also "the first time a big girl gets on a sedan chair", whether it is the "leader of the locker room" or the "champion holder", it is the first time for him.Therefore, the psychological activities are far more intense than everyone imagined.

Tang Qian sometimes really doesn't know how those "protagonists of time-traveling novels" can become both eloquent and leadership temperament without any experience.Could it be that "traveling once" can also wash "the whole body temperament" by the way?Strengthen "Leadership" and "Charisma"?When he read novels before, he thought it was a bit nonsense, but now that he "experienced it personally", he felt even more that it was really "nonsense" that was "not harmful".In fact, don't look at Tang Qian standing up at this moment, but he has actually done a long "battle between heaven and man" and "compilation of abdominal manuscripts" before. Even so, when he stood up, he still felt a little bit " Dizzy" "Tongue dry".

It is said that being the core is cool, and being the focus is enjoyable. There is a prerequisite, whether you can handle this scene.

Fortunately, Tang Qian's current identity is No. 13 "Wilt Chamberlain", so he had a little more confidence and said, "Everyone, listen to me." It can be seen that Chamberlain's status in the Lakers is really important. His salary is very high, and he has the highest salary in the league. His influence is really extraordinary.

All the soldiers of the Lakers turned their heads when they heard the words, then stared at Tang Qian, waiting for the next sentence.

Being stared at so earnestly by so many people, Tang Qian was a little uncomfortable, but he had already stood up, so how could he sit down?With the help of "Tiger Skin" written by "Wilt Chamberlain", Tang Qian began to speak: "If you chase two rabbits, you will get nothing. This is a famous saying of a Soviet Russian writer. I want to apply it to the present, at this moment, Just right. I had a private chat with Jerry yesterday, and I found that we were thinking too much in our minds. Worrying about gains and losses is our morale, which is the key point of New Yorkers. Why? Think about it, everyone. You keep thinking about things like 'failure', 'tie-break history' and 'general runner-up' in your mind, how can you beat the opponent who has no distracting thoughts, only one idea of ​​'winning the championship'?"

"So I think right now, everyone should treat this game as the first game and play it as an ordinary regular season. It's decent." At this point, someone asked a question, and opened his mouth and said: "Will Te, your words are different from the usual cheering words! I used to hear people say that the next game should be played as the last game, why did you come here, it is completely opposite?" "Question Okay, Leroy, I will tell you the answer to this question." Tang Qian said while pointing in front of him and said: "Now you come closer, and then come closer, okay, just stand here and don't move."

"Everyone is optimistic, this is my answer..." After speaking, Tang Qian turned around and punched Leroy Ellis straight in the face.Then just before touching the latter's nose, Tang Qian stopped his fist and said, "Do you understand now?"

"Understood? What do I understand? Wilt, what the hell are you doing!" Leroy Ellis is also a tall insider at 208cm, and he felt a little embarrassed after being messed with like this.If it wasn't for the scarier and stronger Wilt Chamberlain in front of him, he almost couldn't help turning his face and cursing.Tang Qian didn't take it seriously, but continued: "Aren't you practicing boxing recently? Why can't you react to this level?"

"I, I didn't know that you would make a sudden attack. If I was normal, I would definitely be able to react. I'm just not in a good state today..." Leroy Ellis had just said this, Tang Qian interrupted him, saying : "You got to the point, Leroy, that's why I said, now we're going to treat the game later as a normal regular season."

"ah~? Can you explain Wilt more clearly? What kind of riddles are you doing at this time..." Leroy Ellis was complaining, when someone in the locker room suddenly spoke, saying: "Will Te, what do you mean to say, we were too nervous and paid too much attention to the result of this game, so instead it had the opposite effect?"

"Bingo~Jerry, that's what I mean." Seeing that the speaker was Jerry West, Tang Qian snapped his fingers.In fact, he may not have to spend so much time, but the Lakers urgently need something to attract attention and break the atmosphere, so he came up with such a seemingly "radical" method.

"Jerry, do you understand? What did Wilt mean? Why did he suddenly punch me? This..."

Jerry West is worthy of being the "Godfather" of the Lakers later. When he turned his mind, he thought of the intention of "Tang Qian", and then explained it: "Leroy, what you usually do to Wilt Fist, can you react calmly? Even in a sudden situation?"

"Of course, Wilt's punch just now was sudden, but the speed and strength are not too fast. Under normal circumstances, I can definitely... Wait, you mean, because of the upcoming G7, So my body's ability to respond has weakened?"

Seeing that Leroy also reacted, Jerry West nodded and said: "Yes, we all have this problem, because we are too focused on one thing, so it has the opposite effect, so this is ...Murphy's Law?" Tang Qian smiled slightly, but in fact, his original intention was "Jensen Effect", but unfortunately, "Jensen Effect" has not yet been born in this era, so as long as the general meaning is close, it will be fine.After all, his original intention was to improve the morale of the team and break the negativity brought about by "curse" and "history".

"In this way, Wilt is right. The more we treat this game as the last game now, the worse our competitive state will be and the greater our psychological pressure will be." Jerry Weiss Te said, looked at "Tang Qian" for a while, and said: "Wilt, I didn't expect you to think of this point. It seems that you have been hiding your clumsiness before and refused to use your full strength."

Since the Lakers' No. 13 proposed the "high-position pick-and-roll tactical system", Jerry West's impression of him has greatly changed. Now that there is such a "deep analysis", it really makes the former feel a little "Can't see through".

It's as if after entering the Finals, the Lakers' No. 13 has changed.

The game ability has dropped a lot, but the golf quotient and brain have also improved a lot.

"Haha~Jerry, you're just joking, I've always been so 'strong', okay!" "Tang Qian" faced West's words, casually slapped him, and then walked over.Then he continued to speak: "Do you want to know how I ended the eighth consecutive hegemony of the damn Bostonians? Hmm? Sorry, Mr. Salman, you shouldn't mind, right?"

Bill Sharman shrugged and said, "Of course I mind as a player, but as a coach, I'm on the side of the Lakers now, so you can just say what you want." "Okay~ Thank you Mr. Sharman for your generosity , My strategy is to be more Bill Russell than Bill Russell!"

"More Bill Russell than Bill Russell? What, what does this mean?" After hearing such a series of tongue-twisting words, the Lakers players asked again.But Bill Salman had a clear head, and blurted out in an instant: "You mean defense and rebounding?"

"That's right." Tang Qian nodded and said.

"But Wilt, your average rebounds per game in this series is not..."

Before Bill Salman finished speaking, Tang Qian said to himself: "It doesn't look good, right? That's because..."

"I am saving my strength just for this match!"

"Save your strength? What do you mean? Do you still want to emulate the Eastern Conference Finals that year and score 41 rebounds in a single game?" Bill Salman asked. "41?" Tang Qian suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Salman, the opponent of 41 is Bill Russell. Do you think there is Bill Russell among the New Yorkers?"

"Then what do you mean?" Bill Sharman was also a little confused, because the rebound record in a single game in the playoffs is Chamberlain's 41 rebounds in a single game, and he has done this more than once, even In the third scene of the Eastern Conference Finals in 1697, when facing the "old enemy" Bill Russell, this terrible statistic was achieved again.Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain are really a pair of destined "big enemies". The former is firmly suppressing the latter in the championship. What about the latter?In terms of personal data and personal records, the former is also firmly suppressed.The 55+ rebounds in a single game in the regular season were set against the former, and the most rebounds in a single game in the playoffs were also won against Bill Russell. This kind of "background man" is really "sour" ".It’s no wonder American fans say that it was the Celtics who defeated Wilt Chamberlain, not Bill Russell, because regardless of scoring, even the former’s most powerful rebounds and blocks were all lost. Suppressing one end, this kind of tragedy, if the former hadn't become the "Lord of the Rings", it would be a perfect template for "the second in a thousand years".

"Since the opponent is not Bill Russell, I have reserved at least 50 rebounds in advance! So don't have any psychological burden in this game, just open your arms and shoot! Anyway, if you can't make a shot, I will also take those rebounds." The damn rebound was taken!" The 13th of the Lakers team suddenly made a "shocking" speech, which made the locker room of the Lakers team suddenly silent.

……

Before the official start of the game, Jerry West, who was still warming up, suddenly approached "Tang Qian" and asked in a low voice: "Hey, Wilt, did you overplay your motivational remarks in the locker room just now?" ?50+ rebounds in a single game? You may not be able to do it in your peak period, right? You must know that the current record for the highest rebounds in a single game in the Finals is only 40, which was set by Bill Russell in 60 and 62 Well, isn’t it a bit too exaggerated for you to say that? If you can’t do it then...I’m afraid..."

"Jerry, when is it? Are you still in the mood to think about this?" "Tang Qian" turned his head and said, "Besides, I'm not just talking nonsense, because tonight, I'm going to launch a campaign against this goal." Challenge!" "But Wilt, is this..." "Tang Qian" cut off West's words, and said seriously: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, now it's the last moment, we have to surpass ourselves , don't you? Jerry, don't forget what you said during the day."

"Because this life may be the moment closest to the ring, you must go all out to clean up those useless excess waste in your mind!" After hearing the words of "Tang Qian", Jerry West's eyes froze. , and then murmured: "This life...maybe the closest moment to the ring... the closest..."

"Besides, don't forget, Jerry." "Tang Qian" smiled confidently and said, "I own the single-game rebound records in the regular season and playoffs. Bill Russell Er is only No.2, so in the finals... I won't let him be number one either!"

"You can rest assured that you can shoot and attack, because my name, Wilt Chamberlain, is the strongest guarantee for rebounding!"

Looking at No. 13 of the Lakers who continued to warm up and shoot, Jerry West slowly clenched his fists and said silently in his heart:

Thanks~ Wilt~ You are the real core of this Lakers team~
PS: After this experience, Tang Qian's mentality and locker room ability will grow considerably. This is the ability and temperament that one must possess if one wants to become a core and leader~ This paragraph is very tiring to write, but Xiao Xiao Zi will definitely complete it with high quality, because Xiao Zi has always kept in mind the original intention of this book and has never violated it~
