Chapter 526
"OH~MY~GOD~" The Knicks' on-site commentator, famous mouth Mike Brin suddenly said loudly: "What did I see? Kobe, Kobe Bryant, actually punched Dwight Howard??? Is this true??? What happened to the Lakers???" This voice caused nearly 2 fans at Madison Square Garden to look sideways at the direction of the Lakers bench area. Whispering.

In the TNT live broadcast room, there were also several exclamations:

"Ah~ What happened just now? Kobe Bryant actually punched Dwight Howard in the face? What made the Black Mamba explode? Lose? Can't make the playoffs? Or the overwhelmed outside world Public pressure?"

"Kenny, no matter what the cause is, I think the Lakers are going to collapse and disintegrate now."

"I agree with you very much. Reggie, Kobe's punch is equivalent to ruining the future of the Lakers." Kenny Smith said: "Even if this season fails, there is still next season, the Lakers After all, the book lineup strength should not be underestimated. As long as there is enough time to adjust, I think it can still return to the ranks of championship contenders. But if this punch continues, Mitch Kupchak is probably busy. Already!"

"Kobe Bryant, the 2nd position closest to Jordan, is still not as good as Jordan." Reggie Miller sighed.

……

"You dare to hit me??? Old dog!!! I'm going to kill you!!!" Howard roared and rushed towards Kobe, who was also ready for a big fight. Raise your fists and swing your chest obliquely.But Howard's attack was unsuccessful, because someone pulled him down and said, "Hey, no fighting, understand? Warcraft?"

Howard turned his head and was about to scold, but when he saw the clear face, he immediately calmed down and said, "Dongfang...Dongfang is hot, he did it first, didn't you see it?" Qian "upright" said: "I'm sorry, I didn't see it, I just bowed my head to tie my shoelaces."

tie your shoes? ? ?I believe you are a ghost! ! !
Howard was furious again: "You are deliberately sideways, right??? You made up your mind to support this old dog, right???"

"Be careful with what you say." Tang Qian said lightly: "He is one of the souls of the Lakers team. If I don't support him, who will I support?"

Tang Qian rolled his eyes and said jokingly, "Could it be possible to support you?"

"You bastard! You..."

"Hey, do you want to fight?" Tang Qian made a "vicious" look on purpose and said, "If that's the case, I'll accompany you. As long as you want the high-definition picture of yourself being beaten, it will be spread all over the United States tomorrow. Oh, no, it's the whole world." When Howard heard this, he lost almost [-]% of his courage, because last time in the locker room, the former really beat him up quite badly.Howard was horrified once watching the secretly recorded mobile phone video.

Now, everyone in the Lakers team, including Howard, has basically confirmed the fact that the number 29 of the Lakers team must know the mysterious Chinese kung fu!Otherwise, can a person who weighs 280+ pounds be beaten like a rag doll?Did you think it was Captain America?Did you think it was the Avengers?

After just one incident, the attitude of all Lakers players towards Tang Qian has improved significantly.

One is because Howard deserves to fight, and he shows off his might and makes fun of others everywhere on weekdays. Tang Qian's helping many people is tantamount to venting his anger!The second is that the combat ability of this Eastern center is really terrifying!It was so scary that several substitute players even quietly discussed in private whether this Oriental and Captain America could fight for a few rounds!
Compared with comic book characters, this is an almost unbelievable thing.

But within the Lakers, it has become an "open secret."

Don't mess with anyone and don't mess with Mao No. 29, otherwise "Warcraft Fall" will be a role model!

Well, as for what is "Warcraft Fall"?This is an "adjective" that some meddlesome people of the Lakers chatted up in private.But after Tang Qian heard it, he felt very appropriate, so he said, "Or, do you want to experience 'Warcraft Fall' again?"

When he heard the word "Warcraft Fall", the muscles on Howard's face seemed to tremble involuntarily. The mobile phone video that was originally intended to record his "fat beating" opponent has become Howard's most frightening memory now.

Let's not talk about whether it's embarrassing or not, the main reason is... Ni. Ma's pain! ! !
But how did he know that it was impossible for Tang Qian to do the "Warcraft Throw" now. Howard of "Bow Cup Snake Shadow" has no guts to "try again".The shadow of the last time has caused a great sense of fear in Howard's heart.

So after that incident, although Howard hated Tang Qian extremely in his heart, he only dared to come to Yin, what kind of positive, this kind of thought never appeared for a second.

In short, Dwight Howard was scared by Tang Qian.

"You, is this how you treat your teammates?" Howard was at a loss for words and was timid, so he could only "defend" in this way.But would Tang Qian take this kind of weak questioning to heart?The latter just smiled and said, "Are you our teammate? Or, in the future?" This question made Howard feel guilty. He almost thought that the Eastern center had seen through his heart.

"Of course, of course." Howard said with some confidence: "Aren't I wearing a Lakers jersey?"

Unexpectedly, Tang Qian suddenly said something he couldn't understand: "I am in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han. This kind of thing can't be hidden from history in the end." "Why are you in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han? You mean What the hell? Why can’t I understand it at all? Old English? Ancient opera lines?” Tang Qian didn’t answer Howard’s question, he just said: “Respect the jersey on you, this is a The basic work ethic of a professional player, right?"

"I, of course I know, you don't need to tell me this." Howard said hesitantly.

What people didn't expect was that the conflict between the Lakers did not escalate. It was as if a raging fire was about to be ignited, but a bucket of cold water was suddenly poured head-on.Everything is bluntly calmed down.

At least temporarily.

For the later plan of "revenge", Howard chose "a hero does not suffer immediate losses" and chose "endure humiliation and steal life".

Seeing Howard was flattened by Tang Qian, Kobe didn't intend to continue to expand. He turned his head and continued with the proposal just now: "Mr. D'Antoni, I suggest replacing Howard, otherwise the New York team will continue to implement off-ball foul tactics." Mike D'Antoni also knew that Kobe was right, so after a little thought, he nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, let's replace Dwight for now."

"Who should I replace? Is it ironed?" D'Antoni asked Kobe for his opinion.

Kobe glanced at Tang Qian on the bench, nodded and said, "Just replace him."

……

"Haha~ As long as you continue to 'cut Huo' a few times later, tonight's victory will be considered safe!" With a big lead in hand, Carmelo Anthony finally smiled and said loudly: "Just Let's send the Angelenos to hell!"

However, Carmelo Anthony's idea was doomed to fail, because with less than 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Lakers replaced Dwight Howard and replaced No. 29 Tang Qian ahead of schedule.This has been extremely rare in recent times.

As soon as Tang Qian walked on the field, he said to Carmelo Anthony: "Hi~ Have you scored enough points just now?"

Anthony asked sullenly, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting." Tang Qian replied simply: "I'm going to play."

"And you, you have to stop scoring."

Beep~ The referee blew the serve whistle, the Lakers kicked off, and Steve Blake dribbled the ball across the half.

It may also be that there are more leading scores, so Kidd did not defend particularly tightly from the beginning.

That allowed Steve Blake to dribble into the Knicks' half court.

He passed the ball to Gasol on the inside, and Gasol dribbled the ball back, but at the moment when he was about to turn around, the Spaniard found Jamison's shot was empty, so he quickly shot the ball, and the basketball flew directly into the Lakers 4 Number, in the hands of Antawn Jamison.Jamison made a shot, the rhythm was okay, and the process of the shot was not disturbed, but it was just a basketball hitting the iron, and with a "boom", he smashed out of the basket.

But the rebound was taken by Tang Qianqian. Before forming a double-team inside, he hit the ground and passed the ball to Pau Gasol on the other side of the inside.Gasol immediately hooked the shot, swiped~, the basketball hit the board, and got into the Knicks' net at a 45-degree angle.

Only 18 points left.

48-66, but this did not make the Knicks, who raised any vigilance.

After all, they are still leading by 18 points, aren't they?

Kidd passed the ball inside, and Kenyon Martin dunked vigorously towards the Lakers' basket. The two of them have played together for a long time, so there is quite a tacit understanding between them.Although Martin is old now, he still can't forget his "old profession" of jumping and dunking.In fact, when he can't even do this old job, it's time for him to leave the NBA.

Unfortunately, tonight, the Lakers' interior is stronger than ever.

slap~
Tang Qian sacrificed his tenth block of the game!
Hat sender, New York No. 3, Kenyon Martin!

Tyson Chandler picked up the ball, made a second attack, and shot from a small thrower under the basket. The situation was the same as Martin, and with a "snap", he was easily slapped away by that Dongfang slap.Jamison gets the ball and passes it to Steve Blake.Steve Blake advances with a dribble.

Here we can see the difference in ability between him and Steve Nash. They are both No. 1 and "Steve". Whether it is passing the ball, advancing speed, timing or vision, this Steve is on par. The latter Steve, there is a huge gap.

To put it bluntly, there is a gap in all directions, not on the same level.

If it is Steve Nash, he will definitely see 3~4 passing positions in this defensive counterattack, and think of 3~4 passing methods.But Steve Blake, he couldn't do it.This is the naked limitation of personal ability.

It's not that he doesn't want to play better, it's just that he can't.

The same physical fitness, but the gap between him and Nash is so large, it can be seen that the "core ability" of the No. 1 basketball position is not physical fitness and athletic talent.

If the opportunity to quickly defend and counterattack is wasted, it can only become a positional battle in the end.Compared with the former, the consumption of physical energy and energy in positional warfare is many times greater.Moreover, the difficulty of scoring goals in positional warfare is not in the same dimension as quick defensive counterattacks.Both sides settled down, set up the formation, and then the offense and defense began.

After being scolded by Anthony, Tyson Chandler did play a lot defensively, which made Gasol feel more and more difficult to attack.Gasol is not going well here, and Steve Blake can only pass the ball to Antawn Jamison on the other side.

Jamison's opponent is none other than "Little Melon" Carmelo Anthony.

Although Anthony has never entered the best defensive team in his career, his defense is still in the upper reaches of the league or even the upper reaches.I've heard such a joke before, but any star, regardless of offensive and defensive ability, is naturally higher than role players and substitute players.Except for some defensive masters who specialize in defense, Anthony's single defense effect is often not bad.

As for why he couldn't get the best defensive team, one is that his defense has no continuity, the other is that he doesn't have the determination to dominate both ends of the offense and defense, and the third is that he deliberately plays on the defensive end in order to maintain the efficiency and energy of the offensive end. Maintain physical fitness, do not seek meritorious service, but seek no faults.This is very similar to McGrady in the later period.But you want to say that McGrady's defense is not good?They really want to defend seriously, and they are very strong and very good, but just like Anthony, McGrady is also prone to fall into the above three "defensive vicious circles".

"Come and try, I will definitely defend you, old bone!" Anthony saw that it was Jamison, with a very confident expression on his face.

If this is Jamison's peak period, apart from anything else, he will definitely start. After all, he is also a person who averages close to 25+ points per game in a single season. There is no doubt about his offensive firepower and ability.But now, he feels his body's old state, and he can no longer use many movements and techniques in reality.

Almost 37, what more could you ask for?

Moreover, he is not the core force of the Lakers, and there is no need or right to force one-on-one in this way, so Jamison chose to pass the ball.The pass was given to No. 24, Kobe Bryant, who was on the wing.

Sure enough, after losing Nash, Kobe's offensive end changed from running without the ball to cutting air to holding the ball + flanking singles.

Compared with the former, the latter obviously consumes much more energy.

But now, apart from Gasol, he is indeed the only independent offensive point of the Lakers.

Of course, it is also the strongest point of the No. 2 position in the active league.

New York's No. 2 is no match for the Black Mamba.

Turning back, turning, and jumping back, this action is really only the Lakers No. 23, except for Chicago No. 24, who can do it so smoothly, so chic, and so elegant.

brush~
The basketball impaled the Knicks' rim.

50-66, with a gap of 16 points.

The Knicks attacked, and Kidd missed a three-pointer, but because he hit the front of the basket and had a strong rebound, it directly became a high rebound.It was snatched by Carmelo Anthony.

"Carmelo got the rebound! Carmelo made a layup in the penalty area! Oh~no~ was blocked by the Lakers' No. 29 again! But Carmelo grabbed the offensive rebound again! Carmelo continued to attack, he did I made a fake shot, and it seems that I want to deceive the opponent!" Under Mike Breen's full-court commentary, Tang Qian said to Anthony: "Don't bother, I won't take such a lame basket fake like you. action."

"What did you say? You said my fake moves were lame?" Anthony roared, and shot quickly: "Who do you think you are? Olajuwon or Shaq O'Neal?" Tang Qian replied while taking off: "I'm nobody, I'm who I am, but your basket fakes are really bad."

slap~
"Oh my God! He blocked again? Is this Easterner's block really that strong?" Mike Brin was very surprised: "I look at his game data, oh~, he has already blocked 13 times Already! When was it so easy to block double figures? It’s so worthless? Has this kind of thing happened in NBA history?” Just when Mike Brin was surprised, Walter Frazier beside him suddenly said: “Of course Yes, Mike."

"Yes? When? That's double figures in blocked shots!" Mike Brin turned around and asked.

"It was the era when we played." Walter Frazier was born in 1945, and Mike Breen was born in 61, so the latter has no impression of the "prehistoric years" in the NBA, and it is impossible to have any impression. "In our time, although blocking shots in double figures was a rare thing, there were still people who could do it frequently. At least for them, blocking shots in double figures was the same as scoring double figures and rebounding double figures. It was not a big deal. Difficulty." Hearing this, Mike Brin wondered: "No way, is there anyone else who can do it frequently? Is that still a human? Are you sure you're not playing volleyball?"

"Really." Walter Fraser said, "Their names are Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell."

All of a sudden, Mike Brin stopped talking, because during those NBA years, he had no right to speak at all.

"I know you may not believe it, but I still want to say..." Walter Fraser said: "The shot-blocking ability of these two people is like that of aliens, especially the former... To be serious, he It can block you to doubt your life." Mike Breen asked: "How many blocks can you average per game?"

"Probably between 8 and 9 careers, but just counting a certain season, hehe." Walter Fraser said: "Both of them have seasons in double figures per game. And more than once." "Really, Really? If this is the case, then it would be too scary." Mike Brin said: "How did you deal with them in those days?"

"I'm okay. The Chamberlain I'm facing is at the end of his career, and after suffering a knee injury, his athletic ability is not as good as before. As for Bill Russell, he retired in the third year after I entered the league. But I still remember that every time the New York Knicks played against the Lakers and Celtics, I would secretly pray that I would avoid two blocks.” Hearing this, Mike Breen joked: "Walter, how many times have you been overshadowed by them in a game at most? Can you tell me?"

I thought Walter Fraser would think for a long time, but unexpectedly the latter blurted out: "I was overshadowed by Russell probably 4-5 times in a single game. As for Wilt Chamberlain, I remember it very clearly. It was my first year in the league, and Wilt was still in the Philadelphia 76ers. It was Christmas Eve, and after one game, I came off the bench and took 7 shots. Without exception, all of them were photographed by that monster in the restricted area I took all the bills. Then Mr. Reed Holzman, who just joined the Knicks, scolded me, and then..." Watch Walter Frazier stop at a critical point, Mike Breen He asked anxiously, "Then what happened?"

Walter Fraser spread his palms and said, "Then I sat on the bench for the entire game and didn't play again until the end of the game." "Wow~ That's really a sad story, Walter." Mike. Breen joked, "How many blocks did Chamberlain get in the end?"

"First of all, this is not a sad story." Walter Fraser said seriously: "This is a scary story."

"Did he cover 18 or 19 times that night? Anyway, I remember less than 20 times." From Walter Fraser's calm tone, Mike Brin was shocked: "No, no Up to 20? Is that playing volleyball? Are your hands numb?"

"I don't know." Walter Fraser said, "Fortunately, the block records at that time were not officially recorded by the NBA, but were only recorded by on-site data recorders and reporters. Otherwise, you would have seen an even more exaggerated "Basketball Emperor" Of course, I personally don’t think his hands can block shots and numb, because after playing every day, he has to go to the bed to play. So the numbness is on the bed, not on the basketball court.”

"How to limit this kind of monster? How can others fight it?" Mike Brin asked.

"There's no way to limit them at their peak. Are they so perverted even after looking at their stats?" Walter Fraser said, "Fortunately, Chamberlain is limited by the Bostonians, so his number of championships has never been too high. This is also unfortunate. I'm lucky. Otherwise, I doubt that Wilt will destroy the competitive sport of basketball." "The Celtics? Then who will limit the Celtics?" Mike Brin continued to ask.

"No one can stop it." Walter Fraser said while recalling: "Didn't you see that Bill Russell has so many rings that he can't fit in both hands? If you insist, it's Wilt who can stop it." Yes. The Celtics' eight consecutive hegemony ended in the hands of the latter. Therefore, there is some basis for saying that the two of them are old enemies."

"But that was a long time ago. Since then in the NBA, there have never been shot-blocking monsters like Chamberlain and Russell, right? I remember that Olajuwon, the strongest behind, only averaged 4+ blocks per game. Well, do you think this Eastern center can reach it?" Walter Fraser heard the words and said: "Averaging 4+ blocks per game is indeed a hurdle. How many strong shot blocks can't break through that level? I remember the last time Or in the 95-96 season, Mutombo has entered this state, and how many years have passed? There has never been a person with 4+ blocks."

"Yes, I think since the NBA reopened the era of defensive three seconds, it should be impossible to block 4+ shots again."

"No, I have a different opinion from yours, Mike." Walter Fraser said, "You overestimate the power of this three-second defense. In fact, give the former shot-blocking masters a little time to adapt, and they can still play a role. Fu, the opponent's nose is bruised and the face is swollen. Not to mention the defensive three-second thing, the NBA has had it a long time ago, it was done in the 60s, and because it didn't limit Chamberlain and Russell, it actually encouraged them. The power of the inside line, so after a few seasons, the implementation was stopped by default. Because the weakening of the rules is overall, and their level is too high, it seems that they have weakened the general public instead. Both of them have nothing to do! As for In the 80s, there was also a three-second defense, but it was modified to a 12-foot penalty area on the weak side. The strong are always strong, and this is absolutely true.”

"As for this Eastern boy, although I don't like him very much, but look at how many blocks he has averaged this season? It seems to be 3.3~3.4 per game? It surpasses No.2 Serge Ibaka. Less, if there is no accident, he will defend the NBA's block leader this season." Walter Fraser looked at the No. 29 of the Lakers and said: "It's not even the soy sauce time in the first half of the season. His average blocks per game The number should have been 4+ long ago."

"But there is one thing, the NBA's average blocks per game should be at most 5+, you haven't done enough homework, Mike~"

"Walter, are you so optimistic about him?" Mike Brin was a little surprised, because he knew that Walter Fraser was a person with high vision and would not easily praise others, especially non-Knicks players.Walter Fraser said: "It's just a matter of fact. He has made 13 hot pots now, so what if he doesn't admit it?"

"I just hope that the Knicks can wake up quickly, and don't forcefully send a shot on a night when the shot-blocker's state explodes."

But the audience at Madison Square Garden soon discovered that Walter Fraser's words came true.
