Chapter 551 This kid really has the potential to become the best shot-blocking king in history

Gasol scored a 2+1, 80-75, and the Lakers once again caught up with the score.

This made the Spurs coach Popovich immediately call a timeout.

After some routine lectures, Tim Duncan took off his thermal training clothes, then stood up from the bench, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would continue to play in this game, hehe, the Lakers look better than I imagined it to be tough."

"But... the victory of the game, I still don't want to hand it over."

"Come on, Manu, Tony, let them see how powerful our GDP combination is." Duncan said confidently.

However, the development of the script was completely different from what he expected.

After Tang Qian used the silver block card, the situation began to deflect to the Lakers.

Tang Qian's timing of using ability cards is much better now than at the beginning. He has gradually understood that when to use them, the effect of ability cards can be maximized.For example, the silver block card seems to be able to block and fix 16 blocks, but in actual use, it is still exhausted.And only by standing on the inside line can it play its greatest value.So if the fixed number of times is used up in the first half, then the second half may still be in crisis.If this happens, at that time, if you want to reverse the situation, you will have no choice but to be powerless.

Now is the most appropriate time to use it.

Slowly, the atmosphere at the Staples Center began to heat up.

The reason is that the Lakers' No. 29 defense in this quarter can be called invincible and vigorous.

What Tony Parker?What Manu Ginobili?What Tim Duncan?What GDP mix?At this moment, everyone has become an ordinary person. As long as he makes a shot from the inside, he will definitely not be able to escape the Lakers' No. 29 hotpot hat!This made the Spurs, to be honest, confused and forced the boss for a long time.

When they came back to their senses, the Lakers had already taken the lead 84-82.

If the Spurs hadn't made a mid-range shot, the fourth quarter would have been close to swallowing zero.

Popovich immediately called a timeout. He wanted to adjust the team's offensive state, but no matter how sophisticated his tactics were, as long as he shot from the inside, he still couldn't escape bad luck.After entering the fourth quarter, No. 29 of the Lakers seemed to have changed, becoming violent and terrifying.

When he blocked the 11th shot of this section, Popovich was dumbfounded, because such block firepower was simply unreal!

He had heard about No. 29 of the Lakers a long time ago, and once uttered wild words, saying that he would become the best shot-blocking leader in NBA history in the future. At that time, Popovich just smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously at all. Best shot-blocking leader in NBA history?Let alone the best in history, it is considered luck to finally enter the top ten of the total blocks list. Is it true that the NBA has had fewer perverts and monsters inside for so many years?
But in the end, after 3000, there were only a few people who were able to block a total of 1973+ shots?

There are only 4, namely Olajuwon, Mutombo, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Mark Eaton.

In the future, only Tim Duncan may set foot in this club.

The rest of Mourning, Camby, David Robinson, O'Neal, Ewing, and Garnett are all short of 3000+ blocks.So want to be the best shot-blocking leader in NBA history?Is this a joke?This oriental guy is a little too outspoken.Compared with his compatriot Yao, he can't see the humility and modesty of the East style at all.

But as the season progressed, Popovich was a little shaken.

Because this oriental guy is like crazy, he is frantically breaking the NBA's block records, such as single-quarter block records, half-court block records, all of which have become his name, and even single-game block records, They were nearly doubled by him!After this situation appeared, Popovich began to slowly pay attention to No. 29 of the Lakers.

Shot-blocking talent, this kid must be a natural shot-blocking talent!

But watching the news is different from seeing it with his own eyes. For example, right now, he doesn't know what to say.

Move all the firepower outward?If this is the case, then the first thing to be disrupted is not the rhythm of the Lakers, but the rhythm of the Spurs' own game.A weak team may not matter, but as one of the perennial powerhouses, the rhythm of the game is what Popovich usually values ​​most.He always believes that as long as the team plays according to the normal rhythm, it is bound to win more and lose less, so that the team can maintain a stable height for a long time.Facts have also proved that Popovich's coaching philosophy is very correct. The Spurs have been the most stable team in the NBA since the late 90s, not one of them.Excluding the shrinking season, the 20-year average season wins 50+, which is enough to stun anyone and any team.

For 20 years, the San Antonio Spurs are such a team.

But at the same time, they also have a fate, that is, stars who are easy to be runaway and killed.

Because the rationality of the defensive end is one of the biggest advantages of the Spurs, but when they encounter some unreasonable people, the Spurs often lose more unjustly.However, that was all trouble for the Spurs from the offensive end.Anyone going to give the Spurs a "lesson" on defense tonight?
Popovich tried to use more air cuts and coordination to attack the Lakers' basket, but most of them were either blocked or ironed.After the No. 29 of the Lakers fanned out the 13th block of this section, the audience at the Staples Center finally couldn't help but cheer up.

"Dongfang Tang, tonight Dongfang Tang is simply an unrivaled Nordic giant! He supported the Lakers inside, he supported the Lakers inside!!!" Bill McDonald explained to the commentator in front of him The microphone yelled: "This is his night, San Antonio, you are dead! You can't win!"

Seeing the Lakers further widen the score difference, the Spurs gradually became nervous, but because of the Lakers' No. 29, few people wanted to go inside and under the basket for the time being in this game.

Yes, everyone knows that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate, but if it is blocked, the shooting rate is equal to 0.

Might as well shoot from the outside.

Even if the shooting percentage can't be higher than the basket, there is always a shooting percentage, isn't it?So far in the fourth quarter, who has a higher shooting percentage at the basket?Damn!It is no longer a question of whether the hit rate is high or not!This is... There is no shooting percentage at all, okay! ! !

Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker have all tried, and without exception, they were all shot out by the Lakers' No. 29 cap.

This situation made the Spurs' offense more and more outside.

Human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so even if Popovich doesn't say anything, the Spurs players are unwilling to go to the inside and the basket to "clean up".But in this quarter, the Spurs' outside touch is not particularly good, so the Lakers took this opportunity to "make a fortune by messing around", and scored 2 more three-pointers.

Duncan's face no longer had the smile when he played in the fourth quarter. He saw the plight of the Spurs, so he was ready to step forward and break the iron wall of the Lakers' No. 29.But he was doomed to be disappointed.Because before the 16 hot pots are covered, the inside and the basket of the Lakers will be destined to be impenetrable and indestructible.

"The Spurs handed over the basketball to Tim Duncan. Duncan made a back-up turn inside. His footsteps were beautiful, but the iron was still the same. He didn't mean to cling to it. He let the opponent half a step from the beginning to the end. Make Duncan move extremely smoothly!" Bill McDonald's commentary voice made Duncan feel very awkward.Since he has been playing basketball, when has someone under the basket in the penalty area dared to defend close to him and increase physical confrontation?It can be said that up to now in his career, 99% of the time, he has completed inside shots in high-intensity defense and high-intensity confrontation.Even sometimes double-teams or three-teams are commonplace and commonplace.Therefore, the more this is the case, the more Duncan feels uncomfortable with the Lakers' No. 3 defense.

This, on the contrary, caused a slight fluctuation in his mentality.

After making a set of smooth inside offensive moves before, he thought that this shot was a sure thing, but tonight, Duncan dared not make a shot at all.And for some reason, he clearly felt that the Eastern center's blocking state was much stronger than the previous three quarters.

No, it is ten times stronger!
Of course, shot-blocking ability and shot-blocking status cannot be quantified in real games, but it doesn't prevent Duncan's instinct to think this way.This guy, did he enter "The.Zone" in the blocking state?

Even so, I still want to break through you!
"Duncan shot the ball very quickly, and the arc of the basketball is also very high, oh~, another block! Our Dongfang Hot blocked the 14th time in this quarter!"

This, this is also covered?Has he already calculated my shooting time and shooting angle?

Fortunately, the Lakers missed the ball, giving the Spurs a chance to breathe.

Duncan keeps asking for the ball, and he's going to try again.

For this ball, Duncan chose a quick back turn, dribbling and rhythm, which were close to perfection, and then the non-dribbler also hindered the opponent, which was tantamount to completely leaving the Lakers No. 29 behind.It's impossible for you to block such an attack, right?There was no one in front of me.

"Duncan took off for a dunk, the ball... Tang also took off at the same time, he stretched out his long arms, GOD! He gave Duncan a big cap on the back of his head!!! Tonight, no one wants to break ground on Dongfang Tang's head! !! Tonight, Tang is the king of our Lakers in the restricted area!!!" Duncan was stunned all of a sudden, wondering if this can be blocked?Has his timing judgment been so proficient?

No, it's impossible!It must have entered "The.Zone"!Otherwise, even Olajuwon might not be able to do this! ! !
The Lakers' Gasol hit the inside and raised his arm to beat the defender Splitter!The Lakers further expanded their lead!

The Spurs felt a little fooled by the Lakers. When the inside line was completely misfired, the pressure on outside shots doubled, which made a 3-open three-pointer with a pretty good transmission opportunity slip out of the basket.Needless to say, for the defensive rebound, Tang Qian undoubtedly took it off with one hand, without giving the Spurs any chance to grab it.

The Lakers relied on Gasol to attack inside. Although they did not score consecutive goals, they caused a defensive foul by the opponent.

2 free throws at the free throw line.

Gasol is not the "happy beast" on the Lakers' bench. His free throws are still okay, so he made two "swipes" to help the Lakers score another 2 points.The situation of the Spurs suddenly became extremely unfavorable.

If you can't score another morale-boosting goal, it is estimated that this game will have to be explained here.

Popovich knew it well, and so did Duncan, so for such a critical ball, the Spurs No. 21 chose to play it himself.

This ball is very critical, and Duncan's face is also a little dignified.

Duncan finally gave up his plan to continue to cut into the hard attack. He chose a low-post turnaround jumper with less stability.

This is a big man with strong skills and the necessary offensive skills. From Yao Ming to Garnett to Dirk Nowitzki and Duncan, it is impossible for an insider who can average more than 20 points per game for many seasons to not have a solid foundation .Unless you're a monster like O'Neill.Well, even if it is O'Neal, he doesn't dunk every ball, and his inside skills are still extremely powerful.It's just that Duncan's move can only be counted as between "good" and "excellent", and it cannot be compared with the historical top level of the previous three players.However, it is enough. After all, there is no shortcoming, which is Duncan's biggest advantage.

Tang Qian had experienced this trick just now. If he didn't have the ability to help, it would be difficult to block it by himself.

Too bad Duncan picked the wrong time.

At this time, let alone the current him, even in his peak period, he would still suffer from the inside of the Lakers, so...

"A block!!! Another block!!! In the fourth quarter tonight, Hot has turned on the tyrant mode. Anyone who comes under the basket of the Lakers must die!!!" Bill McDonald's voice, for this game With the final number drawn, the Spurs were stunned by No. 29 of the Lakers and could only play the rest of the game mechanically.

91-87, the Lakers miraculously won this victory!
Tang Qian, who scored 21 blocks, 11 rebounds, 4 points and 2 assists in this game, was of course selected as the best player of the night.Seeing that No. 29 of the Lakers was accepting a routine interview with the best player on the court, No. 21 of the Spurs suddenly smiled and said: "What an amazing young man, this tenacity to lead the team to counterattack, perhaps the Lakers It’s not certain that the team is really likely to enter the playoffs. Hehe, if the playoffs weren’t coming soon, I would almost be unable to hold back my state and try to fight him with all my strength. It’s a pity.”

"However...the matter of poaching him next season, I can really talk to the management seriously."

"This kid is paired with Kawhi in the future. At least there will be no vacuum in San Antonio in the next ten years."

"Dongfang Hot, let's work hard, haha."

Having said that, the Spurs No. 21 turned around and walked into the player channel.

……

"So how accurate is this information?" In a mansion in Los Angeles, Jenny Buss asked while looking at an insider information.

"It's hard to say, because I only heard a few sporadic phrases. You know, Mitch Kupchak rarely opens the door at work, and he is very vigilant in his profession, so being able to hear these is already a priority. I'm doing my best." Bonnie Laughlin said below, although she had been promoted to the position of assistant to the general manager by Old Buss before his death, it's a pity that until now, she has no real power.Kupchak has always been polite on the surface, but the real core management has never allowed the former to participate even once.

The heart of defense is obvious.

Mitch Kupchak still maintains a high level of vigilance compared to the new boss of the Lakers, Jim Buss, who has been a little lax.

"Hehe, Mickey is still like this. He is vigilant and cautious in doing things, and he doesn't give the enemy any chance." Jenny Buss put down the inside information in her hand, and said slowly: "But if this thing is true, then It's worth our planning, maybe...in less than three years, Jim will come down."

"Miss. What do you mean? Shall we bet on the number 29? But he and Howard..." Before Bonnie Laughlin finished speaking, Jenny Buss said, "You have also seen his potential , if you can maintain this momentum, who is to say that he is not the next Mutombo or Ben Wallace? Although Howard's reputation is great, but this season, he has long since returned to his peak. I choose to use him to build a team. I think it's a brilliant thing."

"But miss..." Bonnie Laughlin wanted to stop, but Jenny Bass had already understood the meaning. The latter smiled slightly and said, "Don't think this is a risk, the NBA is also a business , I don’t have any courage, and I will never be able to get ahead. Taking a step back, even if we choose the wrong one, it will only wait another three years, and nothing will cause too much damage to the foundation.”

"And..." Jenny Buss said slowly, "I believe in my father's vision, he has never missed a few times in his life."

At the same time, in a dark corner of Los Angeles, two people were talking in the shadows.

"Everyone has been fished out?" A Mexican man asked with an extremely hoarse voice, smoking a cigarette.

"Yes, they've all been fished out, and the bail has been paid, so there won't be any problems." Someone below replied respectfully.

"Well, let them relax and take a rest first. They should be exhausted after staying in the bureau for so long." After the Mexican man finished speaking, the person below continued: "But they all revealed a piece of news. I find it weird."

"Say." The Mexican man said in a low and hoarse voice.

"It seems that the two groups of people were sent to the bureau because they offended a yellow-skinned Oriental."

"Both groups of people are because of him?" The Mexican man was stunned for a moment, and said, "Do you know his identity? Who is he?"

"It's not clear yet, the brothers have just been released, and everyone wants to vent, so I didn't ask too much, and I came back to report as soon as I arranged the place. Otherwise, I'll call and ask Mr. Raben Pass……"

"No need, don't be in a hurry right now." The Mexican man said with an extremely hoarse voice: "When they have had enough fun, we can ask them tomorrow."

"Okay, MG, I understand." The man below nodded and backed out.

"Oriental? Hmph, what Lao Zi hates the most in his life is the Oriental!" The Mexican man took a deep puff of his cigarette, and then said in a low voice, "Dare to destroy my good deeds? I won't make it easy for you! Wait for me, don't let me know who it is!"
