Chapter 478 The Emerald Form of the Northern King
Unwell?Really because of the body isn't it?Of course not.

The truth is, Howard's body is healthy, but his face is...well, kind of miserable.

So for the sake of the team's face and healthy image, Mitch Kupchak decided to let Howard take a rest first, and then participate in the next game after recovering.Furthermore, there was a plan to keep Dwight Howard from causing trouble.After all, if they can win 7 consecutive victories, it will be the Lakers' first time this season.

At this juncture, it is impossible for him not to think about the team, or himself.

Because this lineup was formed by him himself, he has a lot of credit for winning, and the same for losing, and he must bear joint and several responsibilities.Now that Old Buss has just passed away, the Lakers are undercurrents. He cannot shake his position as general manager because of this small incident.

So it's okay to wrong "Warcraft" for a while.

Anyway, when the tickets for the playoffs are confirmed, all the pressure will disappear, and it will not be too late to deal with the issues of the 29th and 12th at that time.Mitch Kupchak's calculations are sound, but unfortunately he is not God, not Jesus, so many things are beyond his expected range.

"We must win this game tonight! Then we will rush into the playoffs!" Kobe said in the player tunnel, raising his arms: "Let everyone in Toronto be buried in Staples! "

"Three~"

"Tow~"

"One~"

"Lakers.gogogo~~~"

This is a very ordinary regular season, but because the Lakers can continue their winning streak, it was put on the live broadcast of ESPN Channel [-].Even if ESPN has been "maintaining maliciousness" towards the Lakers, it has to be admitted that there is no suspense in tonight's game.The reason is nothing else, the Toronto Raptors, this season is just too weak.

However, the absence of the Lakers' main center, Howard, may have given the mediocre Raptors a chance.

This is an analysis of the pros and cons of the two teams before the start of the ESPN game, but Tang Qian doesn't care.

The inside combination of the Raptors in this game is C Jonas Valanciunas PF Andrea Bargnani.Both are European 7-footers, with the former in his first year.So for the NBA, Valanciunas is still in the adaptation period, averaging 8+6 data per game, which is not enough. The maximum limit in the future is a qualified starting center.To be honest, his potential is a bit sorry for his No. 5 pick in the first round.However, before he came to the NBA, he was very famous. He won the title of Mr. Basketball in Lithuania for two consecutive years, and he was even a favorite for the best rookie this year. In order to let him play in Canada with peace of mind, the Toronto management also released rumors of "not for sale". .

However, given the current scarcity of big men in the league, he can get close to 12+10 in the future, which is enough to earn an annual salary of tens of millions.Of course, this is only possible after the 15-16 season, when the league enters the "big premium era", and now it is at most a million level.As for another Italian striker, Andrea Bargnani, he is not the same as the former because his "beginning" is quite strong. He was once the No. 2006 pick in the NBA in 21. He plays extremely lazy, has good offense, and his defense is eye-catching. As a seven-footer, he is obsessed with outside shooting, and his assist and passing skills are low. All of this made the Raptors finally decide to give up training him.This season is the last Toronto season for the Italian No. 5 pick.

And he himself knows it well, so most of this season's games, he clocks in and goes to and from get off work, and the loose time is far greater than the serious time, so whether it is Gasol or Tang Qian who faces him, it will be in the future. The offensive end is promising.As for the offense?Tang Qian is confident that the opponent's scoring ability is no longer at its peak, and it is impossible to cause any waves inside the Lakers.

Well, the calculation is that he is in his prime season, so what if he averages 21 points per game?If he meets his current self, he will still die.

So ESPN Channel [-]'s prediction is simply nonsense.

In the first quarter, the Lakers almost beat their opponents, 35-19 in a single quarter, leading by as much as 16 points.

Nash scored 4 3-pointers in the first quarter and scored 12 points. Gasol scored 10 points. Tang Qian also scored 4 points. On the contrary, Kobe only scored 2 points in the first quarter and made 2 of 1 shots. The desire to shoot is not particularly strong.The reason why they played so easily is that Tang Qian and Gasol dominated the inside lines of both sides, allowing Jonas Valanciunas and Andrea Bargnani on the opposite side to make 15 shots combined, only Hit a pitiful 2 times, the hit rate is less than 14%.

This overwhelming advantage made it extremely easy for the Lakers to play in the first quarter.

"Hot~ You cover it so beautifully~ 4 blocks in a single quarter, I don't think they dare to shoot in front of you~" The combination of Gasol and Tang Qian is very comfortable and exciting. Yes, it made the Spaniards extremely brave. "No way~" Tang Qian also complimented and went back: "Your 10 points in a single quarter are also very strong, with a shooting percentage of over 70%, which really makes them at a loss~"

"Haha~Hot~We will continue to work hard later~Let's disrupt Toronto's inside line~" Gasol laughed loudly after hearing this, and then burst out with rare pride. "Okay~Of course it's okay~Paul~" Tang Qian nodded and replied, he knew that he had completely liberated the inside power of the Spanish matador.

Tang Qian scored 4 points, 4 blocks and 7 rebounds in a single quarter.

Most of the time in the second quarter was on the bench, so Tang Qian only played for 4 minutes and scored 1 block and 4 rebounds.In this way, he scored 4 points, 5 blocks and 11 rebounds in the half.Quite good. In terms of 400 million a year, the Lakers don't know how much they have earned.Of course, if the incentive clause is activated, then Tang Qian's income is enough to make Mitch Kupcher collapse.Absolutely no less than signing a normal big contract.

54-41 at halftime, the Lakers led by 13 points and entered the second half.

At the same time, a muscular man with a Band-Aid on his face pushed away the Lakers general manager's office.

"It's you? Dwight? Didn't I tell you to go home and recuperate for a few days before joining the team? Why didn't you follow my orders?" Mitch Kupchel After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked out the window, as if to make sure that Howard had "brought" the reporter over. "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you like this, but some words are on the verge of breaking out, and I can't bear it anymore~" The person who came was none other than the "Warcraft" Dwight who was beaten up by Tang Qian in the locker room that day. . Howard.

"What do you have to say now? If you can't do it, you can make a phone call!" Kupchak was still a little dissatisfied.

"No, sir, there are some things that must be done face to face." Howard replied in this way.

"Well, if you have anything to say, go ahead." Mitch Kupchel sat on the leather swivel chair and replied casually.

According to him, Howard is here now, one is to pretend to be pitiful, and the other is to come for a big contract, wanting to knock himself out in advance.But soon, he knew that he was wrong, because what Howard took out made him look stunned, and then Kupchel fell into petrification.

Back to the Staples Center.

Facing this chaotic team, someone couldn't help but exploded. He asked Rudy Gay, "Guy, can you pass the ball a little bit? Kyle and I were both empty just now~ "Who knew that Rudy Gay opened his mouth and said: "Is it empty? Why didn't I see it?" This answer angered DeMar DeRozan, even though he is only the No. 9 in the first round Xiu, but in his bones, there was a very strong desire to win, and he said: "Of course you can't see it~ The team didn't bring you here for you to collect data!"

Gay was recruited by the Raptors management before the All-Star Game this season. The purpose was to form a "flank double gun" with DeRozan to improve the team's flank offensive firepower.Although he has been in the league for 7 years, the former has no personal honors, but in terms of average data per game, he is not weaker than the average All-Star player.Before coming to the Raptors, he can basically maintain a data close to 20+6+3 every season. As a No. 3 position, he is absolutely excellent.However, the blueprint for the Raptors team building was to find the wrong person, because after coming to Toronto, Gay only knew how to shoot wildly, and his cooperation with DeRozan was almost zero, so the initial "flank double guns" became It's a mirror image.

It's empty.

In addition, Gay's attitude also angered DeRozan. After all, before trading the former, DeRozan had been promised by the management to make him the new owner of Toronto. The trade of No. 22 to the Grizzlies was just to assist him. Let the team get on the right track faster.Because the Raptors haven't entered the playoffs for a long time since Bosh left, the management's big move has benefited DeRozan very much.But man is not as good as God, Gay has successfully dug into the team, with an average of nearly 20+ scoring points per game, it should be able to help DeRozan a lot on the offensive end.

It's just that Guy didn't expect that when he saw that DeRozan was young, he directly came to take the lead, and the magpie's nest occupied the dove's nest. It seemed that he didn't come to assist, but airborne Toronto to be the boss.All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the Raptors team was tense, and the locker room was torn apart.Compared with the previous record, it did not rise but fell, and DeRozan was so angry that he almost tried to repair the former.

But Gay is a "veteran", so he is not afraid of the young DeRozan at all, he just continues to do his own way, and for the next season's big contract, he will make a big deal.

"What is data collection? Didn't I help the team contribute close to 20 points per game? But you, how many points can you average per game? Are you embarrassed to say me?" Gay bullied DeRozan when he was young, so he spoke A set of authentic. "shi.t~ Don't you look at how many shots you take per game? Don't you look at what kind of shit defense you are? Let me tell you, if you really want to score, you can't even see my taillights, do you understand? ?” DeRozan also got angry and said directly.

After all, he is also the one who competes with Andrea Baggnani for the boss. He is definitely not an obedient boy. If Guy thinks he can bully him at will, it is a big mistake.

"I can't even see your taillights? You can really blow it! Do you think I will believe you? Do you think everyone will believe you?" Gay said with a look of contempt, belittling what DeRozan meant, and seeing it all.

"Then keep your eyes open and watch!" DeRozan roared angrily.
