Chapter 537

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers were in huge trouble, and the team's shooting percentage began to drop sharply.

The burden of physical fitness makes a group of veterans who are mainly attacking have more energy than energy.

Pau Gasol, who played well in the first three quarters, also failed to score two hooks in a row, which was embarrassing.

Fortunately, the Warriors didn't feel good at the beginning of the game. After 2 minutes, only Harrison Barnes scored 3 points at the beginning, and the next few shots all went out of the basket.Tang Qian almost swept the Lakers' backcourt rebounds. He made the Warriors, who were weak inside, pay a big price.But after all, the Lakers are [-] points behind. If they drag on, it will definitely be beneficial to the opponent and not beneficial to themselves.

So someone is going to start "spirit over body".

The No. 24 of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant almost gave up his outside shot after getting the ball, and headed towards the inside of the Warriors without thinking.And his opponent, Klay Thompson, has just been promoted to the starting lineup this season, and his defense is far worse than a few years later, so Kobe really has a strong chance of getting past the opponent.

But outside players hitting the inside is a very hurtful job. This can be seen from Jordan to Wade.Qiao Shen also broke through the flying style in the early stage. After his comeback, he wisely chose to change his style of play and became a "shooting floor style".At least not compared to when he was in his 20s, it's not a way of playing at all.Wade is more regretful. When he was young, he was known as "Jordan who is 5cm short". His performance in 06 was shocking. Many people even thought that he was comparable to Kobe Bryant that year.You must know that in that season, the Black Mamba was in a "scoring maniac" state, and he was comparable to him, which already shows how exaggerated Wade was that year.It's a pity that this style of play is too harmful to the body.So once the age is over 30, it will decline sharply, and I will never see the unsolvable power of my youth.

This point of James has yet to be verified. Although he is an outside player who focuses on breakthroughs, he is also an "intermittent shooter".Moreover, his body is much fiercer than Wade's, so it is a special case for the time being, and it is not convenient to join the discussion.But among the perimeter players, apart from Zhan Huang, it seems that no one can maintain a breakthrough-oriented style of play after the age of 30, and of course Kobe can't do it either.

Looking at Kobe's shooting hot spots, the distribution of shooting numbers has become more and more extrapolated in recent years, and the average shooting distance is as high as about 15 feet.The proportion of shots at the basket has never been higher than 20% in recent years.Last year it was around 13%, and the previous year it was 15%.This shows that in order to protect his health, Kobe has gradually reduced his breakthroughs in the restricted area.This coincides with Qiao Shen's trajectory, but unfortunately this season, the situation has changed.The proportion of his inside shots has broken through more than 20% again, reaching 21%, which is only a lot more than during the two consecutive championships.When is it really higher than this ratio?That was the time of the 07-08 season, when it reached above 24%.

What is this concept?Excluding the perverted style of play of James, the "outside center", the remaining young players such as Durant and Irving, that is, the probability of inside shots fluctuating around 21%.Chris Paul and Klay Thompson are only around 14%.And they are all much younger than Kobe, so playing this way, although the success rate and lethality will increase, but the physical burden is really too big.

Young outside star players only have this ratio, even worse than Kobe, who will soon be 35 years old, so it is very risky to do so, especially visible.But now the Lakers really need to score, and it is a steady score, so Kobe has to do this.

Because free throws are the easiest way to score and also the way to score with the highest percentage.

Besides, a little bigger can give the whole team a chance to stop the ball and take a breath, and slow down their physical fitness.

Sure enough, the effect was good. Through Kobe's 2 consecutive breakthroughs, the Lakers recovered 4 points steadily.

90-79 with 11 points left.

But the Warriors are in a hot state now, so how can it be fake?Stephen Curry turned his head and made a three-pointer. With a "swipe", it pierced into Staples' basket. 93-79, the score difference returned to 14 points in the blink of an eye.

The 3-point ball is indeed a sharp weapon for scoring points. It can get the score of a 2-point ball for one and a half rounds in one round, and its addition and subtraction effect on morale is even higher than that of dunking.

It is really suitable for suppressing the momentum of the opponent team.

You can't see any hope of chasing points.

hateful!

Tang Qian yelled secretly in his heart, but he didn't have any good way to prevent the Warriors from shooting a three-pointer. Even if he made a save, it would be difficult, unless he used an ability card.However, through the first few games, Tang Qian has fully understood the truth, that is, the ability card is not a panacea, as long as the opponent plays well, he can still destroy himself and the Lakers.

What's more, it's fine to throw out to block the shot and block the opponent. If the opponent transfers the ball and makes another three-pointer, Tang Qian can only sigh and sigh.It is impossible for the ability card to let him fly over to block the shots of everyone in the Warriors like Superman. Besides, once he goes out, there is no guarantee for rebounds inside. It is too risky.

If the block is unsuccessful and the protection of rebounds is lost, the morale of the Lakers may collapse in an instant.

So Tang Qian was also very anxious, but he couldn't think of a perfect solution.

Kobe broke through again and killed his opponent. The referee gave him face and continued to whistle. Of course, Klay Thompson of the Warriors did indeed make a defensive foul on this ball.Both he and the defending David Lee are suspected of fouling, but according to the general penalty criteria, the referee will only punish one person for a personal foul.

David Lee survived.

brush~
After making two free throws again, Kobe shook off the sweat on his forehead, didn't stop for a second, turned around and returned to defense.

93-81, the Lakers are still 12 points behind.

Harrison Barnes failed to make the shot. Tang Qian suppressed Festus Ezeri and easily protected the defensive rebound.Pass the ball to Steve Blake. Just after halftime, Blake passes the ball again, and No. 24 of the Lakers will continue to perform individual singles.

Klay Thompson is very serious about his defense, but he is still a rookie in the second grade after all. He has just been promoted to the main force this season. It is a dream to defend Kobe Bryant, who is still at the tail end of his peak.And Kobe also showed the treachery and cunning of an "old ball skin", deliberately changed the rhythm, and took the initiative to create physical contact with Klay Thompson.

Now Klay Thompson is not considered the future "Buddha", and the "League Star" is much smaller than Kobe. Besides, this is the Staples Center, the home court of the Lakers. It is extremely normal for the referee not to take care of him.So even though Klay Thompson yelled innocently and looked wronged, the referee still gave him a defensive foul.

Kobe made 2 more free throws.

93-83, only 10 points left.

But the Warriors won't let the Lakers succeed so easily. Curry made a 3-pointer and shot into the Lakers' net again.Fortunately, in the slow-motion playback, his left foot stepped a little on the line, so he only counted a 2-pointer, which made the Staples fans a little relieved.

95-83.

The Lakers are still Kobe. He took the ball and entered the singles mode. With a feint emergency stop + feint rhythm change, he immediately surpassed Klay Thompson's half body position and entered the Warriors' penalty area.Klay Thompson was so angry with this ball, he was very annoyed by being continuously broken through, so he tried his best to chase back, trying to catch up with the former.

Kobe glanced out of the corner of his eye, deliberately slowed down the beat, and then took off and stayed in the air, waiting for his opponent to "catch".

Klay Thompson was still a little tender, and his body quickly hit No. 24, causing No. 24 to lose his balance in midair.

This is exactly what Kobe wanted. He forced his waist, shot the ball before landing, hit the basketball, and entered the Warriors' net.And at the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.

Kobe got the chance to play 2+1.

But a heart-wrenching scene happened. When Kobe landed on the ground, he was unsteady and suddenly fell to the ground.

Look at the place where he covered it with his hand, it seems to be the knee of his right leg.

If this kind of ball is usually full of physical fitness and normal muscles, it is difficult for professional players to be twisted, because protecting one's body is also one of the compulsory career courses for professional players.Kobe Bryant is even more outstanding in this regard. Since he entered the league, he has maintained his body as a limited edition Lamborghini, because he also understands in his heart that there is a huge difference between him and the original talent of that No. 23 in Chicago. , if it is not well protected, it will definitely be powerless in the later stage, and the follow-up will be weak.So although Kobe often "can't go to the line of fire with minor injuries", his body maintenance afterwards is absolutely top in the league.

Wade also talked about this matter during the 08 Olympic training camp. Kobe's self-maintenance and self-maintenance before and after the game amazed him.So don't look at "in the game" No. 24 is very reluctant to his body, but before and after the game, he loves and cherishes it very much.

So this kind of landing action, Kobe used to be protected, but tonight, he still fell.

why?That's what Gary Vitti and Judy Seto are talking about, muscle strength.Strength is the basis for performing a series of protective actions. If the strength is sufficient and the strength is normal, then even if this ball Kobe lands a dozen times, there will be no problems at all.However, insufficient strength will lead to incomplete and irregular protection movements. The moment Kobe's ball landed, his leg strength became slack, so when he softened a little, his knees were slightly contused and he fell to the ground.

When the Lakers were in a mess, No. 24 got up forcibly, and then moved his knee a little, signaling to the referee that he was fine, and the game continued.Seeing this, and seeing No. 24, who was a little limping, Tang Qian's mind was suddenly opened, because a memory that he didn't want to recall suddenly appeared clearly.

April 2013th, 4, US time, this, isn’t this April 12th, Chinese time, isn’t this...

The game where Kobe Bryant ruptured his Achilles tendon? ? ?

damn it! ! !How could I even forget this! ! !
He shouldn't be allowed to continue playing today! ! !

The reason why Tang Qian missed this key information is that the Lakers have internal and external troubles this season, and the internal and external pressure is too great, which distracts people.The second is that this period of time is the last moment for the Lakers to hit the gate of the playoffs. The whole team is spending time in a tense atmosphere of preparations, making it difficult to think about other things.The third is the difference between American time and Chinese time. In Tang Qian's impression, that game has always been on April 4, so he was a little careless about the date of April 13.

Putting it all together, it was only now that Tang Qian suddenly realized, and it was like waking up from a dream.

At the moment when Kobe was about to execute a free throw, Tang Qian actually grabbed the ball, and then made a time-out gesture.

The whole audience was at a loss, and the whole team was at a loss.

Everyone doesn't understand, what are you doing on the 29th?
However, the suspension has taken effect, and both sides must end the game to rest.

After the game, Mike D'Antoni asked Tang Qianqian: "Hot, what's the matter with you? Why waste a timeout? A timeout in the fourth quarter is a very valuable resource. Sometimes it can even play a role in reversing the game. You You must give me a reasonable explanation!" The entire Lakers team also looked at Tang Qian in a daze, wondering what he wanted to do.

But Tang Qian's answer was somewhat unexpected, saying: "Mr. D'Antoni, you must replace Bryant, you must replace him!" W, what?Mike D'Antoni was taken aback, and said, "Why? Is Kobe uncomfortable?" Before Tang Qian answered, No. 24 shook his head and said, "No, sir, I can continue to fight."

"Hit? Still have a fart!" Tang Qian said to No. 24 so emotionally for the first time: "If you continue to beat you...you will die! Do you understand?" Tang Qian almost blurted out "taboo words", But fortunately, at the critical moment, he held back and changed the statement that he would not reveal his secrets.When Kobe heard this, he frowned and said, "Hot, are you exaggerating? I have been playing basketball for decades, and I have played thousands of games since I was a child. What kind of game will kill people? Don't talk nonsense! It's easy to shake the morale of the team!"

But Tang Qian still said to himself: "If you're not afraid of 24, you're just in case. How do you know if something will go wrong tonight? I, I think you were hurt just now!" Tang Qian was anxious Under the circumstances, I could only find this "bad excuse", but No. [-] couldn't listen to it at all, and just frowned impatiently: "It's just a slight knee bump, it's not a big problem, hot, you've been doing very well, Why are you talking nonsense at such a critical time? Concentrate! Killing the Jinzhou talent is the key point, understand?"

"I, I still feel..." Tang Qian didn't know what to say, he couldn't just say, did you tear your Achilles tendon in this game?If this is said out loud, it's fine if it's not allowed. If it comes true, I'm afraid I will be arrested by the FBI the next day and tortured severely to do scientific experiments.

Seeing the opponent’s hesitation, Kobe said directly: "Don't think about useless things! Concentrate all your energy and focus on the field! Do you understand? Everyone is the same! Now we are behind, we can't be a little bit behind Hesitation and relaxation!!!”
