When the Lakers released the official news the next day, the American media exploded!

There are many lengthy stories of various lengths, and they appear wantonly. Both TNT and ESPN are preparing for real-time programs, and they don't want to miss this national hot spot.This is the fate of celebrities. When you need to be quiet, the outside world is not even willing to let go of your hair.

In a sense, the media all over the world are of the same nature.

The Lakers held an official press conference on the afternoon of the 13th. Tang Qian, Howard, Gasol, Nash in suits, and Ci Shiping all attended the scene. After the reporters finished asking questions about Kobe, they even The bombing began.

This is a kind of meaningless "interrogation" back and forth, such as "How do you feel about Kobe being injured?" "What will you do in the future after Kobe falls?" Metta Shiping and Nash were no strangers to it, and their answers were extremely official, and they were not as expected by the reporters.

But when the question came to the number 29 of the Lakers, the wave surface that was originally "a pool of stagnant water" became restless.

It's not that Tang Qian deliberately said something surprising, he just said the truth:

"Kobe got hurt and everyone is sad, it's unfortunate, and I'm certainly no exception."

"Kobe is down, and his spirit is still in the team, and that will inspire us to keep going."

"Of course he will return. If there is anyone in history who can recover from this kind of injury, it must be Kobe. All of us believe in him."

The reporters began to smell something "unusual". This is a professional sense developed over the years. Sure enough, the next question, Tang Qian threw a "bomb" and said: "Of course, of course we will enter the playoffs. The goal will not be Anything that changes! We’ve been through so much this season, there’s always going to be a little bit of a response and something in return.”

"The latter two opponents are indeed very strong, but we will not lose, you know that is enough."

"How sure am I? Of course it is 100%! 100% we will squeeze into the playoffs this season!"

Hearing this, the reporters were excited in their hearts, and the entire Lakers team was a little surprised, because it is too "inappropriate" to say these words now.In case the words have been released, but they can't be done, without Kobe, who will take the blame?Anyway, no one wants to come out and be "taken advantage of" at such a time.Moreover, the two opponents behind the Lakers are very strong, namely the San Antonio Spurs on the 14th and the Houston Rockets on the 17th.The Spurs don't need to go into details. They are currently 58 wins and 21 losses. Their regular season record ranks second in the Western Conference and third in the league. Strong championship contender.As for the Rockets, they are currently ranked 7th in the Western Conference and are also a playoff team.

The Lakers are currently 43 wins and 37 losses, half a game behind the eighth Jazz in the West, and one and a half games behind the Rockets in seventh in the West, temporarily ranking ninth in the West.Lose any of these two games, then say goodbye to the playoffs this season.With such a bad schedule and such a strong opponent, who would dare to say that the Lakers can still enter the playoffs 1% of the time?

Please, don’t say that Kobe is injured. Even if Kobe is not injured, the last two games may not be successful. Besides, now that the battalion is full of wounded soldiers and morale is low, why do you dare to say that you are the same as Kobe? Big talk?

"100%? Hot, are you sincere? If you just want to boost morale and appease the fans, it will be too disappointing." An ESPN reporter suddenly ran out and said.Tang Qian glanced at the reporter's press card, looked straight at him, and said loudly: "I said this to boost morale and appease the fans, but at the same time, it is also 100% true."

"You can process it artistically or write it truthfully. Anyway, this is my promise to the Lakers fans, Mr. Buss, and the Black Mamba." Tang Qian did not hesitate at all, and blurted out: "Because from now on, I am A Laker."

"A true Laker."

"And my team, I won't let it fall out of the gate of the playoffs!"

"So, Tang, this is your public commitment, right? It's the same nature as Kobe Bryant's public commitment?" The ESPN reporter continued "insidiously".Tang Qian sat on the press booth, looked down at the former, and said in a calm manner: "I know the answer you want, okay, I can do what you want, and do what you want."

"Listen, big ESPN reporters, I now publicly promise that the Lakers will make the playoffs and will never disappoint anyone who shouldn't!"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the storm broke out.

Even the country far away across the ocean is in chaos. The Lakers fans are downcast, as if yesterday's game took away everything from them.

Because of Tang Qian, there was no public broadcast of a Lakers game in China. On the portal website, it was possible to save as much as possible. Anyway, No. 29's name was never mentioned.But now it is an online society, and the country is not the northern peninsula in the north. If you want to watch some foreign games, you don't even need to go over the wall.Every day when it comes to the game day, a large number of viewing addresses will be distributed in various groups in the forums and forums in the post bar, and you can choose from them.

So for the vast majority of Lakers fans, this "ban" is far greater in form than in reality.

Therefore, the details of yesterday's game have long been known.

In a post bar, someone looked down on it and said:

"It's over, Nash is injured, Metta Shiping is injured, Kobe is also injured, five starting lineups, more than half of them have been injured, and the Spurs and Rockets will be played in the future. What can we use to win? Maybe the biggest in the history of the league. "Luxury Joke", has been born!"

"Don't be so pessimistic, okay? We still have Howard, Gasol, and Tanguy! We played against the Warriors yesterday, didn't we win?"

"It's not that I'm pessimistic, it's just that the momentum has dissipated. Howard is simply a "happy beast". He has no intention of playing well this season. Gasol is good, but he is alone. Young, but I think his physical fitness is average. Whether he can last for 40+ minutes is still a question. Besides, the most important point is that Tang Qian is just a blue-collar player. It is true that he is very strong defensively, but what about scoring? How to score? Facing the inside of the Spurs, Howard doesn’t have to count on it. How many points can Gasol score alone? I remember the career high was 44 points, and it happened in 06. After coming to the Lakers, I have never scored 40 points in a single game again. Taking a step back, even if the character explosion really scored 40 points, it is still not enough, right? You don’t understand how strong the Spurs are. As far as the Lakers are now outside, How many goals can be scored? How many goals can be defended against the opponent? So it’s not that I’m too pessimistic, it’s just the reality, brother!”

"Hey, I agree with the landlord's words. Without Kobe, Nash, and Ci Shiping, who are the outsiders of the Lakers? Jamison, who is nearly 37 years old, Steve Blake, who is calm and independent, likes Jody Meeks who is messing around, Darius Morris, a low-ranking rookie, and Chris Duhon, who has no offensive ability for a long time. It’s not that I look down on this group of people, this group of outsiders, it’s just that It’s really too bad, the offensive firepower is mediocre, and the defense is like paper, which will be broken at the touch! Such an outside line wants to beat the Spurs and Rockets, it’s really a bit of a dream!”

"I, well, I still have to hope, don't I?"

"Is there any hope left? Kobe has a broken Achilles tendon. The Lakers may not have a future in the past few years. I haven't read what is said outside? Broken leg dog, broken leg team, pun intended, both satirized Kobe and satirized The old, weak, sick, and disabled Lakers are vulnerable! I argued with them before, but Nash, Ci Shiping, and then Kobe fell one by one, which made me lose my emotions. No way, the disease is too serious , people are gone, so why argue?"

At this time, someone replied below:

"Hey, everyone, go to the XX forum, there is a new video, which is Tang Qian's "oath" of the Lakers!"

"What does the "swear word" mean?" someone immediately replied.

"It's just... well, don't you know if you go and see for yourself?"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

The XX basketball forum has already been very popular at this moment, and the traffic is surging.

"I'll go, Tang Ji! You can say that! Domineering! Admire!" someone said.

"Domineering fart! This is simply insane, okay? This bullshit lineup still wants to win two games in a row, why don't you go dreaming on the pillow? If the Lakers can make the playoffs, I will live broadcast cut-ding-ding !” Someone dismissed it.

"It's good to have courage, but Nash, Ci Shiping, Gasol, and Howard didn't speak up. You talk so full, what is it if you are not pushy or have low EQ? I think he is the same as Yi Di. I can’t last long in the Lakers or even in the NBA!” Someone talked eloquently.

"I think this is the best opportunity to gain a foothold in the Lakers! You can say that he loves performance or is a good presence, but don't forget that the Lakers are leaderless now. If you can seize this opportunity, then these two games , Maybe it can lay the foundation for Tang Qian's NBA future, and it's not impossible to push him to a higher level!" Someone defended.

But more people still think that Tang Qian is talking big and crazy, his heart is higher than the sky, his life is thinner than paper, and his talent cannot support his ambition.

But this situation will not last long, and will soon be fundamentally changed.

On April 2013, 4, US time, the Lakers played against the San Antonio Spurs at home. This day was also the day Kobe underwent Achilles tendon surgery.

Bryant sent a tweet before the operation, saying: Bless my brothers and partners, I hope that after the anesthesia passes, I can see the news of the Lakers winning streak! Lakers! GOGOGO! ! !

At 8 p.m., the Staples Center is ablaze with lights.

Up to now, the Lakers' main lineup has lost more than half, which is the only case in the entire NBA.

The San Antonio Spurs, under the leadership of Popovich, played very reasonable playing time, let alone fancy rotations, so until Duncan retired, the Spurs were a powerful team in the West that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Tonight's battle is nothing to the Spurs. It doesn't matter if they win or lose, and it won't affect a little bit.

But for the Lakers, it's very different. The Lakers are in a tense situation now, and if they want to squeeze into the playoffs, they must win.

It can be seen that the overall morale of the Lakers team is not passionate. After Kobe was compromised, there was no one in the spiritual realm of the Zijin Army who could always spur them on.As I said before, Los Angeles is the city of angels, with bright lights and material desires. Players who come here are easily affected by off-court factors, resulting in the inability to devote [-]% of their mind and energy to the court.O'Neill has said that the lights in Los Angeles can easily make people addicted, psychedelic, and luxurious, which ordinary people really can't resist.

That's why the importance of paranoia comes out. If it weren't for such a "mechanical snake" in the team, who practiced hard day and night, the Los Angeles Lakers would really fall apart and collapse too easily. The "Zen Master" autobiography "11 Rings" made it very clear that when he first joined the Lakers, the Lakers were a group of stragglers with more than enough talent but not enough will.But there is only one person, he is full of energy from beginning to end, and he is No. 24 Kobe Bryant.

Why is Kobe Bryant still a rookie, and he can shoot several "key air balls" in the playoffs?
Apart from his audacity, is there any other factor?

Of course there is.

The head coach at the time, Del Harris, had already seen that others, including the team boss Shaq O'Neal, were always cowering and cowering at critical moments.Only No. 8, that young man, has a single muscle, and the word "fear" does not exist in his head, so at the last moment, No. 8, a rookie, is allowed to make consecutive key shots.

Even if he has already thrown an air ball, continue to trust him and let him throw a second ball.

Why?Don't the rest of the Lakers have an opinion?

The answer is that no one is willing to take on this responsibility, so naturally, it falls on the shoulders of rookie No. 8.

Facts also proved that in that game, the rookie completely screwed up.

However, on the contrary, it made Del Harris look even more impressive.

Now... Tang Qian also has this opportunity, this opportunity, just like rookie No. 8, to prove himself.

Not proving ability.

Just a testament to courage.

PS: This is the first update. The promised outbreak will definitely not be less. There will be a second update in the early morning~
