Chapter 47 Fighting the Bighorn Sheep Again
For a whole week, Tang Qian didn't contact Taylor again. His life was back to the two-point and one-line life of the game, practice, and game.The Los Angeles defender, since the start of the new season, has performed quite well, and the best start in history with 7 wins and 1 loss is still continuing.The feeling of winning streak made the atmosphere of the entire Defender team very good. Not to mention anything else, at least this year, many season rewards that were once elusive, finally showed their "miaoman figure" in front of them. This For the NBDL league with low wages, it is undoubtedly the biggest temptation.

By the way, there is one more thing, that is, in the last game, Tang Qian was finally righted and replaced the original starting center Brandon Costner.

This is undoubtedly a huge incentive for Tang Qian, who landed in the United States alone.

"Hot, it's up to you tonight's rebounding and defense. Try to work hard and start with 10 wins and 1 loss! I've heard that as long as we can enter the playoffs this year, everyone will have a A reward of [-] U.S. dollars, even if it’s just a substitute, can get [-] U.S. dollars.” Manny Harris said loudly in a good mood.

"Yes, it's hot, pass me two more balls tonight, I already feel my hot touch is coming." It was the defender's starting shooting guard Karim Rush who said this, Obviously, he also felt the benefits of being present with Tang Qian at the same time.

An easy three-point shot from an open spot. As an outside line, who doesn't like this kind of opportunity?
"Tan, you've made great progress. You've become a starting player so quickly. Unlike me, you're still a small substitute."

Tang Qian looked at Travis Heyman and comforted him: "Don't talk about Travis like that. I also came from the bench when I was young. Besides, haven't you improved during this time? Sitting firmly on the team's sixth man, this Isn't it the result of your hard work? Come on, I believe you are no worse than anyone else."

"Hey, that's right, the feeling of increasing playing time is really quite good!" Travis Hyman also smiled, he saw the help Tang Qian gave him during this time, didn't he not understand.If it weren't for Tang Qian's frequent feeding of the ball in these few games, whether he can be promoted to the sixth man of the team now is still a question mark.

So for Tang Qian, he is both happy and grateful.

The morale of the entire Los Angeles Defenders team is unprecedentedly high.

And these are all the results after the oriental joined.

As the head coach of the Los Angeles Defenders, Phil Hubbard knew very well.

As a sub-team of the Los Angeles Lakers, the performance of the parent team in the new season is also one of the hottest topics in the free time of practice.

"Last year, the Lakers 'inexplicably' lost to the Mavericks. This year will definitely not make such a mistake again, especially the head star Mr. Black Mamba. Went to Germany and did some kind of platelet-rich plasma treatment operation, you must know that this operation has not been widely recognized in the experimental stage, the black mamba's doing this is enough to see the repressed anger in his heart."

"Oh, it's a pity last year. I thought I could win another three consecutive championships. Last year, the Black Mamba's knee was indeed a big problem."

"Yeah, there are too few breakthroughs. If the proportion of breakthroughs is higher, the Mavericks may not be overturned in the first game. I feel that the 16-point reversal in the first game broke the momentum of the Lakers. Otherwise, In terms of lineup strength alone, the Mavericks didn't do much last year."

"You can't say that. How accurate was the Mavericks' outside line last year? They killed the Big Three. Even if Kobe Bryant is not hurt by the Lakers, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win the 'mad cow'."

"Tan, why don't you talk? What do you think? How will the Lakers perform this year?"

"I...don't know." Tang Qian paused, and then said, "Maybe losing Phil Jackson is their biggest disaster."

"Phil Jackson? Are you talking about Zen Master? Not at all, the Lakers lineup basically hasn't changed much. Besides, Mike Brown isn't that bad either. I remember that he also won the best player award The coach, and the team's winning percentage was as high as 80.00% that year!" As soon as Tang Qian's words came out, Andre Ingram questioned him.

"A winning rate of 80.00%? That's true, but he didn't become a champion coach, did he? Besides that year, are you sure it wasn't because James was too strong?"

"But Phil Jackson's superficiality, isn't it because he has superstars like Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe under him? Mike Brown has used James well. How is it different from him?" Andre Ingram still Disagree with Tang Qiandao.

"That's right. A good head coach must be paired with good players. The two complement each other. But Mike Brown, I think James is calling him. This is completely different from Phil Jackson's situation."

"Hmph, hot, do you think Mike Brown's coaching ability is poor?" Andre Ingram's tone changed a bit.

How did it happen?How could he defend Mike Brown so much?Could it be that he is a distant relative of Mike Brown?
"Hot, Andre has received private advice from Mike Brown, so..." Manny Harris said to Tang Qian in a low voice, and then he made a gesture of shrugging his shoulders. , you get the idea.

It turned out to be like this?
Tang Qian suddenly realized.

No wonder Andre Ingram maintains and supports Mike Brown so much, he didn't expect that there is such a relationship in it.

Now that he knew what happened, Tang Qian was not angry, but patiently explained: "It's not enough to say that Mike Brown is bad. After all, he is the head coach of the NBA and has won the honor of the best coach of the year. If you compare it to Phil Jackson, it’s not as good.”

"Why? Just because Mike Brown hasn't won a championship?" Andre Ingram continued to ask emotionally.

"Maybe." Tang Qian smiled and said: "Mike Brown started out defensively, and he has proved that he can use superstars, but in the Lakers, he may not be able to play well."

"Tan, are you questioning Mike Brown or Kobe?"

"No, no, it has nothing to do with them. It can only be said that Mike Brown is not suitable for Kobe. From the perspective of the general attributes of playing, he and James are obviously two types of people, and Kobe is already in his 30s. James, who is in his 20s, still has a certain gap in terms of physical strength." Hearing Tang Qian's analysis was straightforward, and he didn't seem to mean to slander Mike Brown, Andre Ingram's face gradually recovered, but Still somewhat dissatisfied, he said, "Could it be that Mike Brown can't make the playoffs with this Lakers team? Even if he and Kobe's style of play don't quite fit together, it shouldn't be a mess, right?"

It seems that Mike Brown's private advice back then was of great significance to him. Otherwise, according to Andre Ingram's personality, he would not be so angry with himself.

Well, he is a very affectionate person.

For Andre Ingram, instead of hating him, Tang Qian agrees with him a little bit, because people who know how to repay kindness and value love and righteousness are rare in both China and the United States. He can defend Mike Brown like this , It means that he is a "man", and he is worthy of making friends with him.

"What a mess? Haha, Andre, you are too exaggerated. When did I say such a thing?" Tang Qian pretended to be innocent.

"Then what do you mean?" Andre Ingram was taken aback by Tang Qian's attitude, and then asked.

"I mean, he led the Lakers and still can't win a championship." Tang Qian said this firmly without hesitation.

"The championship? Can't you prove yourself if you can't win the championship?"

Tang Qian shook his head when he heard Andre Ingram's words, and said: "In other teams, maybe as long as they enter the playoffs, enter the second round, and enter the semifinals, that is a proof for themselves. But the Lakers are different."

Andre Ingram was taken aback, and asked, "What's the difference?"

"The tradition of the Lakers is an absolute champion."

"The absolute champion?"

"It means that every season, their goal is to win the championship, or to win the championship. Any result other than winning the championship will be regarded as a failure." Tang Qian said here, and added: "Of course, if the opponent wins the championship It was the Celtics, and that was an unacceptable result for them."

"Tang, you understand it really carefully. Are you Chinese all so observant?" Andre Ingram said after digesting Tang Qian's words.

"Haha, maybe, Andre, but we should worry about our own problems. Tonight's opponent is not easy to deal with." Tang Qian said.

"What are you afraid of, look at your grandpa Andre, shoot the opposite basket!"

"Okay, guys, let's continue to practice. Tang is right, the opponent tonight is not so easy to beat."

In the evening, after everyone had a "very hard to eat" nutritious meal, the ninth game of the Los Angeles Defenders was about to begin.

And their opponent is the Renault Bighorn Sheep who are also in the West Division.

"Hi, Dongfang boy, I didn't expect to see you in a week, and you have become the starting player. It's really good, but the last loss will not be repeated tonight!" Renault Bighorn's PF Marcus Rand After Li saw Tang Qian, he immediately threw away a provocative sentence. It can be seen that his heart was extremely unconvinced by the last defeat.

"Really? Marcus, since we can win you once, we can win you a second time." Tang Qian looked at Marcus Landry and said without hesitation.

He admitted that he was able to defeat his opponent last time because of the blessing of "Rage". Like the last time, it was "bumpy" and "difficult to perform".

Tonight is just a good opportunity to test his scoring ability, Marcus Landry, just wait and see.

Tang Qian said silently in his heart.

Defender's starting lineup tonight: C Tang Qian PF Gamario Moon SF Andre Ingram SG Karim Rush PG Manny Harris.

The formation of the Reno Bighorns is: C Abigail Francis PF Marcus Landry SF Allen Brown SG Brandon Ramstrong PG Gail Jones.

beep beep~
The referee threw the basketball in his hand into the sky, and the second confrontation between the two teams this season kicked off immediately.

"Snapped."

Tang Qian was taller than Abigail Francis on the opposite side, and had better jumping ability, so it was only natural that he easily won the opening scrimmage.

Defensive team Manny Harris got the ball, and he advanced very fast, and it seemed that he was trying to hit the Reno Bighorns with a weak foothold.

"You think beautiful!"

Marcus Landry returned to the defense very quickly, so as soon as he saw Manny Harris was about to start, he immediately jumped up and was ready to block the shot.From this point of view, if Manny Harris chooses to go hard, then there is at least a [-]% chance of being blocked by Marcus Landry.If it was the old Manny Harris, he would definitely ignore it and be frustrated, but the current man has changed slightly.

He didn't choose to confront Marcus Landry head-on. Instead, he turned his wrist and pushed the ball back with his right hand. Immediately afterwards, there was a whistling sound in the air.

Ok?
Marcus Landry had just landed when a huge black shadow enveloped his head.

bang~
The defender's No. 10 caught the ball and dunked heavily, taking the lead in scoring the first point for the team.

"Landry, you can't win tonight."

"Because of victory..."

"It will be ours!"

After Tang Qian landed, he said loudly.

PS Thanks to Feixue Baibai, Qin Rumeng, and i~know for their great rewards, Xiaozi will definitely work harder, thank you~
