Chapter 456 Dou KG

"Then come down for me! Don't play in today's game!" Mike D'Antoni said suddenly. As soon as these words came out, all the Lakers were stunned.You must know that it is not as good as before. During that time, the Lakers still had a lot of games, so the problem of "spending" a little bit would not be too serious, but now...the All-Star Game has been played, which is the highest in the NBA. It means that it is time to start a full sprint for the playoffs and prepare for the playoffs.

And tonight has a special meaning for the Lakers, not only for the fans in Los Angeles, but also for the old Bass, who has just passed away at the helm.If the "feud" army green cannot be defeated, it will deal a great blow to the overall morale of the Lakers.

In the 2012-2013 season, the Lakers formed the "Four Kings" lineup, but they laughed generously. If they fail to make it to the playoffs in the end, then this kind of shame will be a unique big joke in the history of the league.So the removal of Howard at this time, in the eyes of many people, is really a bit emotional and passionate.After all, as a head coach, it is best not to coach with such emotions.

The record is what the Lakers need most now, not the boring fighting spirit between each other.

"What?" Howard's face changed when he heard the words, and then he turned to mocking: "Mr. Mike D'Antoni, do you want me to sit on the bench? Do the players agree? Do the fans agree? Do the management agree?" Howard was so confident that he obviously thought of the previous layer, so he dared to ask such questions and said so forcefully.

He knew that the Lakers were under a lot of pressure from the management to the players, so he didn't believe that Mike D'Antoni dared to do such a "stupid thing".Mike D'Antoni couldn't help getting angrier when he heard the tone of the other party, and immediately replied loudly: "I don't care if they agree or not. It's game time. As the head coach, I have the right to decide everything!"

"SO...you get off the stage right away, and calm down tonight!"

Hearing that Mike D'Antoni was "playing for real", Howard was taken aback, and then his face turned angrily: "Asshole, are you crazy? When is it time to avenge yourself? You don't deserve to be a coach at all! I must go to the general manager's office to complain about you! Complain about you!!!" "You can go if you want! I can't control your legs! You don't need to report to me!" After speaking, Mike D'Antoni pointed to Tang Qian, said: "You go, hot, replace Howard."

"Okay, sir." Tang Qian nodded, and then decisively took off the long-sleeved training clothes.

After seeing this scene, Howard's resentment towards Tang Qian deepened, and even his hatred towards Mike D'Antoni was added to the former.

You bloody oriental!He actually bought the coach to suppress me!Do you think that once you enter the All-Star team, you can show off your power and have no scruples?I tell you!You are thinking beautifully!I will make you suffer!I promise!I swear!
Howard sat down on the bench extremely unwillingly, his eyes reflected No. 29, and his resentment was dark.

But in this round, Mike D'Antoni's mind was set. He had to punish Dwight Howard to rekindle his sense of teamwork in his mind.Because the former has been discovered, now Howard is obsessed with low-post singles obsessed with swiping data, and even ignores the outcome of the game for the sake of good data.Why is this putting the cart before the horse?There is only one reason, and that is Howard's heart, which has left Los Angeles and the Lakers.

He is ready to change teams and go to the free market to make a fortune.

That being the case, why should he care about the life and death of the Lakers this season?

But the season is not over yet, and Mike D'Antoni doesn't want to worry about things that far away. He has only one requirement for "Warcraft" right now, and that is to play well and show the spirit of a professional player.You are not required to do your best and shed blood and tears for the Lakers, at least you must obey your own tactical command and tactical arrangements.You are so stupid, you have already swiped the data, and this summer will be the worst thing to do, but what should I do?It is conceivable that all the scapegoats will become my head coach.People who don't know it may even subconsciously think that I can't even lead such a luxurious lineup, the head coach's ability is worrying, and I don't have the potential to become a champion coach.

I, Mike D'Antoni, absolutely don't want to bear such a wronged blame!

So now D'Antoni is also hardened, everything is for the team's record, as for the relationship with the star players, it can be retreated to the second place.Because he is also a human being, he also has selfishness and desires, so he "takes the blame" like this, for no apparent reason, how could he be willing?

Howard, since you are already divorced from the Lakers, there is no need for me to spoil you anymore. If you are only here so blindly, then you might as well get out and sit on the bench for me!Labor and capital don't have that much patience to BB with you now!If you don't want to play well and can't help me improve the team's record, then you just sit down for me!When you are willing to listen to me, then I will let you play!
I tell you!I am definitely not kidding you this time!

……

"Hot, keep an eye on Brandon Bass~" Paul Gasol and Tang Qian said before playing, Tang Qian knew that the latter was "helping" him, because the Spaniard saw that he was being beaten by the old man in front of him. KG handled it badly, so he took the initiative to stand up and make a rescue.Tang Qian was moved by Gasol's behavior, but he rejected him on the lips, saying: "Paul, you are the main offensive force of our inside line, don't spend too much energy and energy on the defensive end, the defense is handed over to you." Come here, you just prepare for the inside attack."

"But..." Gasol also knew that Tang Qian's words were correct, but he was afraid that Tang Qian would be "spoiled" by KG in this game, because he had also tasted the trash talk ability of the Celtics No. 5 before. If you lose in the end, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover for a while.As a star player, he certainly has time to adjust his body and mind, and the management and fans will not be too harsh, but for ordinary bench players, the NBA does not have such patience.If you do not play well in a few games or even one game, you will be instantly "sprayed", or even temporarily "abandoned" and temporarily "snow hidden".Generally speaking, the positive side of the NBA is reserved for the stars, but the negative side?There is no doubt that all of them are digested and borne by the bench.

If you think it is unfair, then you can choose to withdraw from the alliance, because this is the "rule" of this alliance from ancient times to the present.If you want to get the "good" side, you must stand out, otherwise, even if you have a big reason and a big grievance, few people will really care about you and sympathize with you.

Gasol and Tang Qian have been together for so long, and he feels that he is still a good person. Of course, the most important thing is that he does not overlap or conflict with his own position, so he does not want the latter to be abandoned and sunk.But he didn't expect that this oriental man "didn't appreciate it" when he was kind enough to help him. This kind of situation made him a little confused.After thinking for a while, Gasol asked, "It's easy for you to be attacked by the fans and the management..." But before he finished speaking, Tang Qian blurted out: "It doesn't matter."

No. 29 looked at the counter above his head and said, "I just want to win now."

"That's all."

"So Paul, I will leave it to you to attack the inside line, and I will try my best to do a good job defensively."

"You..." Gasol said.

"I just want to win, Paul, so let me mark KG." Tang Qian stopped Gasol, because defending a former quasi-superstar and now an All-Star player was originally an extremely exhausting task.Yes, Garnett is getting older, and his physical strength has long been inferior to that of the past, but at some critical moments, he can display abilities far beyond ordinary All-Stars.So letting Gasol go on a single defense will only consume his physical energy and make him unable to give the Lakers much-needed contributions on the offensive end.

So Tang Qian is really not acting out of emotion or passionate about his brain, he just wants to make the best division of labor from the perspective of the team winning.Of course, some competitive thoughts still exist, but that is the second, not the main reason.Maybe there are some "Niu.X" protagonists who can often fight five times and easily turn the situation around by themselves, but that is not Tang Qian, so in reality, what he needs to consider is not how to be a hero, but how to help The team wins.

Basketball is a team sport after all, heroes are needed, but other people cannot be ignored, otherwise, even if they average a triple-double per game, they can only accept failure and never touch the floor of the championship.

"Okay, if you can't support it anymore, replace me." Gasol agreed after thinking for a while, because Tang Qian's starting point was right, and what the Lakers need most now is not his defensive ability , but his offensive ability, singles ability.If too much energy is spent on defense, it may lose the point of Mike D'Antoni putting him back in the low post.

Besides, going to the low position to attack was originally what the Spaniard wanted most. Now that he has this opportunity, he is not willing to let it go easily.

With the help of Tang Qian's high pick-and-roll, the Lakers Nash scored a three-pointer near the top arc, which finally gave the Lakers a little breather.Boston deliberately didn't want the opponent to take a break, so they quickly pushed the ball to the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to No. 5 inside with a lob.

Garnett turned his back to Tang Qian, held the ball and said, "Why are you still defending me? Could it be that the Lakers can't find a capable player? It's really impossible, the Spaniard just now can do it too!" Tang Qian bent his knees and bent over , concentrated and whispered: "Paul is not needed, I can do it." "You?" Garnett grinned, showing bright white teeth: "You can't, Oriental, you are still too tender~"

Tang Qian didn't speak any more, but just fixed his eyes on No. 5 in front of him, ready to move or take off at any time.

"It's useless if you don't talk, kid, because the basketball court is a place where strength speaks." Garnett turned one foot and turned into Tang Qian face to face: "And you are destined to be eaten by me!" Before the words fell, Garnett moved out at a high speed. It is really hard to imagine that he is so tall, but has such an agile lateral movement and first step. If he was at his peak, it would be unimaginable.No wonder before James, the title of the league's all-around fighter belonged to KG Kevin Garnett.

This kind of lateral movement and footsteps are definitely not covered by inside players, they are very sharp.

With a series of beautiful steps, Garnett made a one-handed shot, and the basketball flew to the Lakers' basket.

"KG made a shot. At this distance, he basically can't... Oh~ a block!!!" Bill McDonald's voice suddenly sounded at the home court of the Lakers. Tang Qian's block is really too much. In time.Nash of the Lakers picked up the floor ball and quickly pushed it towards the opposite half.

Garnett was taken aback for a moment, but quickly reacted and ran towards his own half.

However, this ball Nash took advantage of the opponent's inside line, so he broke in alone, made a fake fax shot, and hit the basketball into the net.

No one thought that after the timeout, it was Steve Nash who took the lead and scored 5 points in a row, helping the Lakers quickly narrow the score difference.Kobe nodded towards Nash. After all, this kind of "teammates step forward" is rare in Kobe's career. Once it happens, it will be "Kohei"'s after-dinner talk Special book three days and three nights.

In fact, Kobe has played 1300+ games in his career. The proportion of this situation is really not high, but because he is a popular superstar, it is easy to magnify the problem.The same is true for LeBron James. A little problem can be hacked into a dog, which completely makes you unable to take care of yourself.

"Boy, you did a good job just now, it seems that I can be a little more serious about you." Garnett started talking trash again as soon as he came over.Really, this number 5 of the Celtics is definitely Tang Qian's favorite player to talk trash since he joined the NBA. Although others have said that, in terms of frequency and quantity, it is far from the same order of magnitude as the former.Tang Qian looked at him, and only replied, "I just covered you."

A simple sentence made Garnett's trash talk bounce back, but who is KG?The ashes veteran who has been in the league for 21 years, in his own words, in this league except for the championship, nothing can make me emotional.Even in the 2012-2013 season, he played for 18 years. This kind of experience and experience, even in the history of the NBA, is the top row.So he was not annoyed, and just continued to say: "How can you not be blocked when you are playing basketball? As long as I can fuck you in the next game, it will be fine~ Isn't it~"

"Get ready, KG is coming to attack you!" Garnett received the pass, made three back-swaying fake moves in a row, then turned around with a smooth stride, took off and shot backwards.It is said that there are three false moves, but in Tang Qian's eyes, it is almost the same as one. The degree of delicacy and deception are among the inside players, which are terrible first-class.Furthermore, this guy is obviously 211cm tall. In fact, most NBA players claim that KG is definitely more than this height, at least 7 feet guaranteed. However, one of his main offensive methods is a flip-back jumper.

This kind of offensive method can be regarded as a very powerful move in the NBA. The average 7-footer can't use it flexibly at all, and it is different from Yao Ming's turn and fallback jump shot. KG's turn and fallback jump shot is faster and wider. In the peak period, basically no one can block one-on-one.Now that he has used this special skill against Tang Qian, it means that he is really serious about this ball.

Tang Qian was quick to keep up with the jump, but he didn't defend KG's ball. The basketball drew a graceful arc, and then fell into the net.Swipe ~ Garnett succeeded in singles and helped the Celtics score 2 points.

"How is it? Young man? You have to work harder~haha~" KG turned around and said after landing. This is his offensive and defensive habit. If he doesn't spray after scoring a goal, he feels that something is missing.Tang Qian gritted his teeth, but didn't answer.

Because he knows very well that his trash talk can't get the opponent out, and KG has never encountered any monsters in his 18 NBA careers. If he really can't even win a second-year Eastern center, then the latter won't make people itch.So Tang Qian could only choose to remain silent temporarily, waiting for the opportunity.However, if you want to "spray" your opponent, there are ways, that is to defend him and block him continuously, so that you can use the power of carrying facts to make Garnett speechless.

It's not that KG has encountered this kind of embarrassing moment in his career, but he doesn't think this kind of thing will happen tonight.

Garnett carefully read the defensive data of No. 29 on the opposite side several times before the game, but no matter how good his physical fitness is, what's the use?I don’t choose to play straight and hard~ It’s impossible for him to defend alone~ and as long as the Lakers adopt a strategy of assisting defense or supplementary defense, Garnett will immediately release the ball, allowing him to An open teammate makes a shot.

Not sticking to the ball, making timely and decisive shots is also one of KG Garnett's player characteristics, so it is very nerve-wracking for the opposing team to defend.It seems that there is no better way to defend besides praying that he doesn't feel good.

The Lakers missed a shot, and the Celtics continued to attack. Pierce originally wanted to beat Ci Shiping by himself, but Ci Shiping's tank size prevented him from having a good chance of attacking.The explosive power in the first step has long been inferior to that of the past, and the breakthrough attack from outside the three-point line is already on Pierce, which is not very common.At least in the regular season, he will not kill the inside like this. He is 77 years old, only one year younger than Garnett, and he is also over 35 years old this year.Besides, when he was young, Pierce was not the No. 3 position known for his physical fitness, so when he got older, his breakthrough skills declined day by day, and gradually turned into a "slow motion" layup with strong hitting and squeezing.

So after the ball turned around, it returned to KG's hands. KG turned around and made a fadeaway jumper, swiped~, and continued to hit.

"Hey~ lad~ Come on~ Your defensive attitude will never prevent me~" Garnett mocked after scoring a goal. Although Tang Qian knew that the opponent was deliberately teasing him, he still couldn't help it. His complexion turned black.At this time, the Lakers are in crisis again. If they can't defend the Celtics' No. 4 position, then tonight's game is likely to continue to swallow the defeat.

Kobe made an emergency stop for a jumper, but he missed the basket, and the basket collapsed.

"Grab a rebound~"

Both teams shouted at the same time.

Tang Qian's current rebounding ability is already better than Garnett in the regular season, but it is not as much as the statistics show.why?Don't look at Garnett's average rebounds per game this season is only 7.8 per game, but this is the data for less than 30 minutes of playing time.In fact, as soon as he enters the playoffs, his playing time will surge, and his average rebounds will suddenly rise to a level close to 14+.Know what is the concept of 14+ rebounds in the playoffs?The famous Dennis Rodman only surpassed this limit in one season in the playoffs. Even if KG’s average rebounds per game in the playoffs this season is “Big Bug” himself, it is enough to rank third in the latter’s playoff career Bit up.Moreover, the highest average rebounds per game of "Big Bug" in the playoffs is only 16+, which is not as close to 19+ as Garnett's. As for what you say is fair or not?Both have 3 games this year, one round tour, so there is no saying that whoever plays less games takes advantage.

This shows what?This shows that KG's rebounding ability in the playoffs is not inferior to "Big Bug", but he is a bit "playing dead" in the regular season.So it is very difficult for Tang Qian to beat Garnett to grab this offensive rebound, and it is not as simple as the data shows.

Coupled with the fact that the difficulty of grabbing frontcourt rebounds is much higher than that of backcourt rebounds, Tang Qian also tried his best to get stuck in front of Garnett just now, and he can occupy a better rebound Location.Logically speaking, Tang Qian had a good chance of getting the ball, but in the next second, the situation changed suddenly.

"Oh~ It's a pity~ The rebound was taken by Garnett~The Bostonians organized the offense~" Needless to say, McDonald's commentary voice has already told the final outcome.Even if Tang Qian seized a better rebounding position, he still lost to an "old man" who was almost 37 years old.This kind of answer is indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

"Little guy~ You are too tender~ You are too tender~ Be more careful next time~" Garnett's voice continued to appear, which made Tang Qian's complexion even more ugly.What happened to that ball just now?Why didn't the duck that was about to be caught?No one in the audience knew better than the latter.At the moment when he was about to take off and grab the board, the former... used an extremely subtle but effective small move on himself.

The knee of his left leg suddenly pressed against his popliteal socket hard, and at this moment, his left leg lost the power of an instant explosion.Then he wanted to take off forcefully, but he missed the best time, and the rebound was grabbed by KG.

Garnett leaned back and scored again. Tang Qian felt that no matter how he blocked it, he seemed to be unable to block the basketball that was close at hand.

Is the ability to block shots a little bit worse?damn it!

Tang Qian cursed in his heart, being eaten three times in a row with the same technical action, even Tang Qian felt a little annoyed and couldn't hold back his face.Just when Gasol was about to exchange defenders with the former, No. 24 suddenly walked over and said, "Tan, you are too obsessed with blocking shots. You can't do this when defending KG."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran to the front court, leaving behind only Zijin No. 29 whose expression changed from confusion to enlightenment.

PS: Can Tang Qian be able to defend KG in his last peak season?Please wait and see~
Completing the "torch succession" with the older generation of inside players is also one of the charms of the NBA, isn't it?
