Chapter 460 Just a slap in the face
But it is easy to shout slogans, but it is difficult to actually implement them.

This is why those big ESPN experts are so "believable" about Kobe and the Lakers.

Because from the calculation of probability, more than 27% to 29% of things are worth a gamble, so it is not difficult to choose this side of the team. 25 wins and 29 losses, this is the current record of the Lakers. The Mavericks on the opposite side also have a bad record, only 2 wins and [-] losses, which is even uglier than the Lakers.It's really unexpected that the Dallas native, who was the championship last season, suddenly returned to before the liberation. Everything that happened two years ago seemed like a bubble, colorful, but it couldn't last.

He and the Lakers are both "difficult brothers and sisters". The current trend of the team is all the way down and down.

So in order to enter the playoffs, both teams are firing on all cylinders and preparing to fight hard.

In the first quarter, under the leadership of the core player Nowitzki, the Mavericks scored 30 points in a single quarter, which is definitely a good single-quarter statistic.After the Lakers starting PF Gasol played for a quarter, he felt uncomfortable in the soles of his feet, and was then brought back to the locker room by Gary Vitti. This made the "Warcraft" immediately accept more siege, and the shooting rate dropped sharply.

He made 4 of 1 shots in a single quarter, which was his report card. Fortunately, he made 4 of 3 free throws and managed to score 5 points.Otherwise, his reputation as the "League's No. 30 Center" may be completely lost.Why do you say that?The main reason is that the Mavericks' starting lineup is not strong inside defense, Chris Kaman + Dirk Nowitzki, the athletic ability of this inside combination, to be honest, is relatively weak.The former is 35 years old and the latter is close to [-]. In addition, they are both white, so even at their peak, their athletic ability has never been said to be very good.So it seems that Dwight Howard should make a big difference inside Dallas.

But the reality is surprising.

Dwight Howard, who is known as the "Warcraft", unexpectedly missed his shots repeatedly under the joint defense of the two, and the scene was extremely tangled and difficult, and there was no meaning of "Warcraft" at all.why?This is caused by Howard's injuries and technical actions.In the past, Howard was in good health and in the prime of life, so he could rely on his super explosive power to forcibly squeeze opponents away and score inside singles.But when his physical condition gradually declined, it was already difficult for him to squeeze away his opponents. Coupled with the impact of his back injury, his explosive power was further weakened.

Chris Kaman is also a 7-foot big man. Although his athletic ability is far inferior to Dwight Howard's, his defensive attitude and playing style are generally considered relatively tough.Using the height advantage to kill "Warcraft", this made "Warcraft"'s singles skills rough and immediately magnified.What's more, there is another 7-foot No. 4 Nowitzki who can help defend at any time, and the cooperation of the two elders is acceptable, so "Warcraft" Howard fell into the quagmire of the inside.

After losing his superhuman explosive power, he was completely unattractive, and the weakness of his lower body was fully exposed.

This is also a point that teams across the league have used against Howard this season.

Instead of fighting physically and sports with you, I just use a defensive inside line to stalk you and fight a lot.Facts have proved that such a defensive effect is surprisingly good. Sometimes even if he is a little shorter than Howard, it can also contain and weaken him.Representatives such as "Haiye" Hayes are the best among them. Their height and data ability are all at the level of an ordinary bench in the NBA, but they can restrain the current Howard, so that the latter has never had a better time this season. Pass.

This is not to say that Howard's offense has really declined to the point of "not worth mentioning". If he gives up the so-called dignity of the center and plays more pick-and-rolls, running positions, and air cuts like the Magic, then he is beside Nash. It is not easy to average 20+ points per game.With these offensive skills, he is definitely a leader in the league's insiders.

But unfortunately, even after going to Houston, it took him several years to understand this truth.

At least for now, he still stubbornly believes that he has this low-post ability, but the head coach does not believe in himself, does not design more low-post singles tactics for himself, and his back injury has not healed, it is difficult to exert force, etc. It is the reason why he is "relatively sluggish" in low-post singles.It's not that his own low-position skills are not good, and his low-position ability is limited.

Seeing Howard is still "fucking" like this, Mike D'Antoni was so angry that his nose almost exploded, but what can you do?No matter how well the tactics are arranged, it can't hold back the players under him who don't obey orders at all!Under the pressure of the record, Mike D'Antoni once again had a verbal conflict with Howard. Fortunately, Tang Qian and Kobe stepped forward to stop it in time, so that the conflict did not continue to escalate.But this scene was captured by the reporters on the sidelines. It is conceivable that headlines such as "the Lakers' internal strife" and "discord between generals" will appear on the Internet soon.

When Howard saw that Tang Qian and Kobe were both "pull out", he was immediately furious, and his affection for the ghostly place of Los Angeles was even thinner in his heart.And this kind of mentality directly made him "selfish", and he no longer had any team records in his mind, only himself, only data, and only leaving the Lakers in the future to make a fortune.

Tang Qian scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, 1 block and 1 assist in the first half. Although he is not as good as Howard, looking at his efficiency and playing time, he is not necessarily worse than the latter.In the second quarter, the Lakers originally had some chances to comeback, but it is a pity that Tang Qian and "Warcraft" were present at the same time, and they were almost strangers.The former can still abide by professionalism and professional ethics, and barely cooperate with Howard. It is not a tacit understanding, but it is not cold, but the latter is completely doing its own way, treating Tang Qian as an opponent and enemy.Looking at the statistics, throughout the second quarter, he didn't take the initiative to pass the ball to No. 29 even once.

Such "zero contact" simply made Mike D'Antoni unbearable!

Back in the locker room, he couldn't help but reprimanded the two loudly, hoping that the two could temporarily put aside their personal grievances and think about the team's record together.But Tang Qian was okay to say, Howard flicked his eyes directly, and said arrogantly, it's impossible!This attitude not only surprised D'Antoni, but also angered the entire Lakers team.

When is the fucking time, you are still unwilling to compromise, unwilling to make a small sacrifice for the team?Is your Dwight Howard still a member of the Los Angeles Lakers?But Howard's thoughts are completely opposite. What he thinks is, anyway, Labor and Management will leave the Lakers and Los Angeles next season. If they don't make the data look better, how can they raise their prices then?How to make yourself a lot of money?Lao Zi is different from you small characters, Lao Zi still has several illegitimate children to raise!If I don't take advantage of my youth to earn a few more big contracts, what will happen to my future?Can you be responsible?

Even if the "contract year" wants to brush up the data, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, professional players are also human beings, and they also need money to guarantee their retirement life in the future.But there is a limit to the so-called "scanning data". People like Howard who are desperate and just want to do a lot of swiping are still in the minority.

Such a person lacks professionalism and lack of professional ethics.

Well, although Howard's professionalism and professional ethics "have not been good", otherwise how could he be nicknamed "Huo Zhongzhong" and "Happy Beast" by fans?The Lakers want to regard him as the savior and core, which is definitely a major decision-making error in Mitch Kupchel's life.

As for the eyes of the Lakers teammates, Howard also thought about it. As long as he has a thicker skin, and a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, it will be no big deal, and there is no need to worry about their personal emotions.Anyway, I won't stay with the Lakers in the future, so what do I care about the mood of these benches and characters?Quickly scan the data, the right way is to make big money comfortably in the future, sinking with the wrecked Lakers, that is a move that only a fool would do!
His playing attitude directly caused Kobe's eyes to narrow into a line, and the light inside became colder and colder.

"So you can't cooperate well with Tang and play well, right?" Mike D'Antoni finally asked again. The off-court factors of the big city teams have consumed too much of his energy. Now the team enters the The playoffs are in jeopardy, and he has to feel his emotions, and it is difficult to control them. "That's right, let me tell you directly, I hate him, so it's a dream to want me to cooperate with him!" Howard also went all out, and he didn't even bother to maintain the disguise of the first half of the season. At this moment, the essence of the ball tyrant is fully displayed.

Ball bully is a very negative term in the NBA, but it does exist.

For example, New York's Carmelo Anthony is one of the recognized ball bullies. It is common practice to teach teammates, scold teammates or even intimidate teammates. It's just his background, so few people in the NBA dare to challenge him openly.There are many such examples. During the Nuggets period, he was still restrained. After all, it was not his own territory. When he returned to New York, he immediately felt like a fish in water, and his temper and personality exploded. In 2014, he had an argument with the team's second-year player Tim Hardaway. , and threatened to beat the opponent, followed by scolding teammate Vujacic and other bad incidents, which even angered the "Zen Master" and criticized him for being too clingy to the ball and too fond of being a ball bully.In fact, last season, New York collectively blasted Jeremy Lin away, and Anthony was also involved in it. This matter was said by Mike D'Antoni himself.So don't think how clean the NBA locker room is. What you can't see on the court doesn't mean it doesn't exist off the court.

In the early stage of "Warcraft", there was no tendency to be a ball bully. He played hard and conscientiously, except for the occasional comfort of the prostitute.But in the later period, when he became famous, his mentality gradually changed. He felt that being a super blue-collar was too wronged for him, so he began to take credit and pride, and often used the status of "team boss" to overwhelm others.The players in Orlando didn't care, but this made Van Gundy upset, because he found that "Warcraft" was less and less listening to his tactical instructions, and was obsessed with low-post singles. As the head coach and "mentor", he kindly thought The point was to wake up the latter, but unexpectedly provoked a tit-for-tat from the latter.After many times of persuasion, the annoyed "Warcraft" directly made suggestions to the management, hoping to fire Van Gundy. This time, Van Gundy quit and fought back, asking the Magic to trade Howard.But what hurt "Warcraft"'s self-esteem was that Orlando came to a "comprehensive cleanup", not only Van Gundy and himself, even the team's general manager Odis Smith, all "packed up and got out"!
You must know that the struggle between superstars and head coaches is not uncommon in the NBA, but generally speaking, the former has a greater chance of winning and the latter has a greater chance of losing.So just when he was smug and ready to wait for the team to compromise to himself, the owner of the Magic gave him a fatal blow.You guys are going to quarrel, are you going to make a fuss?Then all fuck off!Save me from getting in the way!

It seems to be a loss for both sides, but for Howard, it is a loss, because he drove away Van Gundy, but failed to keep himself. The decisiveness and ruthlessness of the Magic made him extremely depressed and angry.So the "Warcraft" who came to the Lakers is no longer the "Warcraft" back then.Selfishness, ego, is his brand on the Lakers.

Now in his heart, what is the most important thing?Not wins, not records, only statistics, only dollars left!

This is also the reason why Howard will get worse and worse in the future, and even if he goes to the Rockets, he is still a "second-in-chief".So Tang Qian stood up when he heard this, and said, "Mr. D'Antoni, I hate playing with him too. Whoever encounters a black hole with ball power like him will be unlucky."

"What did you say??? Chinaman!!! Who do you say is the black hole of ball possession???" What are you talking about? Who is it if it’s not you? A selfish person who doesn’t even care about the team’s record, what is it if he’s not a black hole of ball possession? Also, you’d better keep your mouth clean, otherwise my fist will not Long eyes!" "You are China...China is hot! What qualifications do you have to say that about me? Don't think that you can be proud and arrogant by cheating to enter an All-Star team! In this Lakers team, you are just a bench, and you will always be just a player." Bench! Got it?" Howard didn't want to lose his momentum, so he bit the bullet and counterattacked.

"Bench?" Tang Qian was taken aback when he heard the words, then suddenly the corner of his mouth turned into a smile, and said: "Since you are so good, why can't you lead the team to victory? Could it be that you are not as good as my bench?" Howard said angrily: "Shit! !! Do you think you can lead the team to victory? It’s really a China that doesn’t know the heights of the heavens and the earth... Chinese!!!”

And just after Howard finished speaking, Tang Qian choked him with a single sentence, and said, "I can."

"What did you say?" Howard thought he had misheard.

"I said that of course I can help the team win." Tang Qian repeated.

"Hahahaha~ It's ignorance~ It's naive~" Howard suddenly burst into a big sneer: "With the current state of the Lakers, how can you help him win? With your black hair? Or with your never-open eyes?" Open eyes???" Hearing this, the smile on Tang Qian's face disappeared, because "can't open eyes" is just a typical discriminatory term, referring specifically to most of the eye characteristics of Orientals and Asians.

In addition, Tang Qian's eyes are not small, so the meaning of the other party's words is clearly revealed.

"GA guy, I can make the Lakers win streak, can you? If you can't, just shut up!"

"Victory streak? This team still wants to win streak???" Howard said with disdain again: "If you can achieve 3 consecutive victories, you are good!" Tang Qian shook his head when he heard the words, Then he stretched out his right palm and said, "3 wins in a row are too few, at least 5 wins in a row!"

"5 consecutive victories? I think your brain was eaten by zombies!" Howard said in complete disbelief: "If you can do it, I will lift your shoes!" "Shoes? No, no, no." Tang Qian said: "The last time you lost to me, you didn't do it. How could I trust you again? With your personality, I just want to slap you hard to relieve my anger! Huh? By the way, how about this How about it?"
