Chapter 555 I Only Think About Dunking

Bugs on your face?Beat bugs?Do you think this is the wilderness?Besides, it takes so much effort to beat bugs?Turn half of your face red?Do you... think I'm an idiot?
The referee is also a serious person, so he stared at Howard and Tang Qian and said: "You better tell the truth, do you think I will believe this kind of shit excuse?" Tang Qian just shrugged and said: "We are telling the truth Ah, is that Dwight?"

Under Tang Qian's force pressure, Howard could only nod in humiliation.

"Look, referee, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Tang Qian said, "It's really just helping to fight bugs. This is the mutual friendship between teammates. You can't just intervene in this?" "Then what happened just now?" What's the matter with the screams? Don't tell me that I'm also 'beating bugs'!" The referee is obviously not a person who is easy to fool, and he found another breakthrough and said.

I thought this would make No. 29 of the Lakers speechless, or at least flustered for a while, but unexpectedly, the former "casualized" and said: "Mr. Referee, that's massage, you know that massage? That's what works. It doesn't hurt or itch, it doesn't have that effect. We usually do this, if you don't believe me, you can ask him." As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of the entire Lakers team looking at Tang Qian had a vague change.

Fuck~ This oriental guy is just talking nonsense, so he can easily come up with it?
At first it was beating bugs, but now it has turned into massaging. This number 29 is really... too black-bellied!

Be more careful in the future, so as not to be tricked by him!

"Massage? Do you know how to do massage?" Of course the referee knew about it, but he didn't quite believe that Tang Qian could do it.Tang Qian smiled and said: "Few of us Chinese can't do it, sir, this is just a very common thing." Tang Qian spoke naturally and smoothly, as if it really happened.Anyway, the Americans have no eyes for the other side of the ocean, and it is impossible to go to China to verify it in person, so Tang Qian is not afraid of being exposed.

"This...that Dwight, was he really giving you a massage just now?" The referee looked at No. 29's calm expression and was a little uncertain, so he asked the person directly.He didn't believe that a person who was beaten would speak up for the person who beat him.So Howard's words will be the "ultimate argument."

But Howard said like this: "Yes, Mr. Referee, just now, just now, the iron was indeed being massaged for me."

When he said this, Howard's heart was bleeding. After being beaten, he had to speak for the "murderer" who beat him. Who wouldn't be depressed about this kind of thing?But……

"Really?" Seeing Howard said that, what else could he say?I can only open my mouth to make sure again.

"Yes, it's true, sir." Howard gritted his teeth in his heart.

The referee was also confused, because this kind of thing happened for the first time in his law enforcement career, but no matter how you look at it, it's a bit too weird, right?Hitting bugs so hard?Is massage the same as killing a pig?Is there such a thing?

"Then, well, since this is the case, you should be careful not to make too much noise, which is easy to cause misunderstanding." The three referees looked at Howard suspiciously, then turned around and walked away.Only Howard himself was almost in a riot!
Because he clearly saw that those referees finally looked at him, as if saying:

Hey, isn't this guy being slapped stupidly?How dare you speak for the person who beat you?Is there something wrong with his head?
Well, it's probably a little bit. Looking at his appearance, his muscles should grow into his brain.

Oh, that's so pitiful.

Fuc. k! ! ! Fuc. k! ! ! Fuc. k! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Damn Orientals! ! !You are such a bully! ! !I must let you out! ! !I must ruin your reputation! ! !

"Okay, don't look at it, the referees are gone, and it's too late to regret." Tang Qian said to Howard in a slightly mocking tone: "Remember what you said today, otherwise next time you'll hit the bugs, you will be able to It’s not so light anymore, understand?” Seeing that Tang Qian was still holding his hand, Howard could only "sit his nerves" and "beg for mercy" for the time being: "Yes, yes, I know, I remember, I will not gone."

"Well, that's fine." After Tang Qian got the answer, he nodded in satisfaction, and then, as if remembering something, he added to Dwight Howard, saying: "Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you Now, let Gary Vitti take you to the locker room to check it out, or if there is something wrong, don't blame me."

After Tang Qian let go, Howard felt his right hand, as if... seems to have lost consciousness.

Completely numb! ! !

Fuck! Groove! ! !Lao Zi is the league's number one center forward! ! !This year is a contract year for labor and capital! ! !If he suffered a serious injury that affected his career, wouldn't it be a disaster! ! !Thinking of this, Howard ignored Tang Qian's eyes, turned his head and went straight to the end of the bench, the position of the Lakers team's medical team, and shouted loudly: "Gary, Gary, check me quickly, my hands don't seem to be damaged. Perceived!!!"

After Howard rushed to the end of the bench, Mike D'Antoni suddenly stood behind Tang Qian and said, "Tang, it's not wise for you to do this, because Howard is still the 'future darling' from above, wait At the end of the regular season, no matter how good or bad the result is, the management will definitely attack you in order to appease Howard, at that time, the situation may not be good."

Tang Qian saw that it was D'Antoni, and he replied flatly: "That's a matter for the management. As a player, I just need to do my best on the basketball court. I don't want to think too much about the rest, and I'm too lazy to think about it." After hearing Tang Qian's answer, Anthony nodded, then lowered his voice, and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Don't worry, I will help you talk, if I was the head coach of the Lakers at that time .”

Tang Qian showed a slight smile when he heard the words, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. D'Antoni, you must still be the online head coach of the Lakers at that time, and I have confidence in you." D'Antoni also smiled, and then Said: "Then you can handle this game? If I can't make it into the playoffs, the management will definitely not let me go. The NBA has had a tradition of coaches taking the blame over the years."

"Remember what I told you in the last game?" Tang Qian said before going on the court: "I won't let the Lakers out of the game, and likewise, I won't let you out of the game." These words Mike It's not the first time D'Antoni has listened to it, but every time, it makes him feel warm and comfortable.

……

Howard temporarily took a break because of "discomfort", and the Lakers replaced the backup center No. 29 Tang Qian.

With 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the first quarter, the Lakers made their debut again.

Facing the sluggish team morale, Tang Qian was extremely confident, saying: "Paul, before the end of the first quarter, we will force the main players of the Houstonians to reappear! Okay?" Gasol was stunned and said: " Hot, I guess they won't play the main force again in this quarter, or even the whole game, after all, they have already led by 26 points, almost entering..." The word "garbage time" hasn't been said yet When I came out, I heard No. 29 of the Lakers cut it off: "No, Paul, it won't be in garbage time, because the game has just begun."

Tang Qian showed a smile that Gasol couldn't understand, and said: "Believe me, their main force will come back soon."

Originally lacking Kobe, Nash, and Metta Shiping, Howard and Gasol should be the leading players. Unfortunately, one of them is "absent-minded" and has no interest in the future of the Lakers. The other wants to work hard, but the spirit and leadership Talent is inherently flawed.In this way, the No. 29 of the Lakers temporarily took the position and became the temporary spiritual support of the Lakers.

Now the Rockets lineup is: PG Patrick Beverly SG Carlos Delfino SF Francisco Garcia PF Terrence Jones C Chandler Parsons.Except for one Parsons, it is almost a full bench lineup, and letting Parsons play the 5th position is obviously to strengthen the firepower and grab points.Whether it's Terrence Jones or Chandler Parsons inside, they are both unreliable in rebounding and defense. With such a defensive lineup, Tang Qian would be embarrassed if he didn't show his fangs.

"How will the Lakers attack?" Bill McDonald said: "Should we continue to bet on the shooting percentage of the three-point shot, or should we leave it to Paul in the low position to deal with it? Jamison catches the ball from the top arc, and his action should be I'm going to shoot directly, but the space for this shot is not good, the Rockets' defender Francisco Garcia has already followed, if you make a strong shot..."

Since Jamison lost the athletic ability of his youth, he has played more and more outside. Although Francisco is 31 years old this year, it is not difficult to keep up with Jamison, who is close to 37 years old.The most important thing is that Jamison's personal ability has also declined sharply this season. The open space is good, and the shooting percentage of top man shots is far worse than before.If it was replaced by his peak period, it would be a matter of minutes to blow up a Garcia. He averaged 20+ points per game for many seasons in his career, which is by no means blown out.

It's a pity that time makes people grow old. He is already a little too old, so it is even more difficult to eat Francisco Garcia, who is nearly 6 years old.Besides, even though Garcia is not as tall as Jamison, and his weight is not enough, his wingspan and marking determination are not bad at all. His wingspan exceeds 210cm, which makes him enough to contain Jamison, who is 2cm taller than him, on the defensive end.But the most important thing is the decline in athletic ability and physical fitness, which made Jamison lose his former glory.

Just when Jamison was about to make a shot, Tang Qian stood inside and shouted loudly: "Pass~pass the ball~"

Jamison didn't take it seriously, and still shot the ball. The basketball drew an imperfect arc, and then slammed heavily on the front of the Rockets' basket. "Oh~no~ didn't make a hit, Jamieson's three-point shot failed, we must retreat as soon as possible, the Rockets' lineup has good conversion ability, can't... Hot grabbed the rebound! Hot squeezed Parsons and grabbed it It's an offensive rebound! Tang didn't pass the ball out, he just took off...a beautiful dunk under the basket!!!" Accompanied by Bill McDonald's shouts, Tang Qian scored the Lakers' 20th point.

20-44, 24 points behind the opponent.

This scene is not too surprising, because Tang Qian was originally No.2 on the rebounding list this season. Getting offensive rebounds is not news.As long as the top man and defense are better in the next round, it will be fine.

Rockets coach Kevin McHale thinks so.

He didn't expect the combination of Parsons + Terrence Jones to play any sparks. The core of this lineup is not defense, but offense. It only requires maximum points.Strive to break through 50+ in a single quarter, so that the Lakers will completely collapse and their morale will be cleared.

Such a plan is no problem. After all, as far as the bench lineup is concerned, there are 5 players on the court, and all of them average more than 5 points per game. There are also two players with more than 10 points and one with 15 points.The firepower is excellent at the substitute level.And most of them have the ability to shoot 3 points from a long distance, which makes it more difficult for the Lakers to defend, and it is very obvious to open up space.

So in Kevin McHale's view, using offense to support defense is enough to maintain until the Los Angeles Lakers collectively lose their fighting spirit.

I thought this game would be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, but it seemed that I was thinking too much. After losing the absolute core Kobe Bryant, the overall desire of the Lakers to win is not as good as before.

Well, take advantage of this breath and make a good start for the playoffs.

Kevin McHale thought in his heart.

The Rockets really lived up to expectations. Parsons hit a three-pointer from the outside and gave the Lakers a strong response.

After scoring the goal, Parsons nodded exaggeratedly, with a feeling of "why am I hanging like this".

20-47, the Rockets lead even bigger.

Seeing this, the morale of the Lakers became even lower.

The Lakers attacked, and it was Jamison again. He seemed to be fighting with Francisco, so he shot again from outside the three-point line.

Completely disregarding Tang Qian's position on the inside and asking for the ball.

Shi.t!Tang Qian cursed secretly in his heart. Because of the reason for asking for the ball just now, the offense and defense were easy to change, so he was blocked behind by Parsons.However, Tang Qian didn't hesitate, and used his strength to make a clever move. He forcibly rushed past Parsons' top man, and then succeeded in rebounding.Seeing this, Chandler Parsons couldn't believe it.

No matter what I say, I have a body of 230+ pounds. Even if my strength is not as good as that of my opponent, I won't be torn out of my position in an instant.

And it's clear, just now the Lakers' No. 29 didn't even perform a technical move to reverse the card position, just like that... um, easily crushed himself?How can this be?

After Tang Qian held the ball, he didn't hesitate to dunk the basket violently on the spot!
With a bang, the Rockets' basket was ravaged for the second time!

22-47.

"Chandler, get in position, otherwise I won't be able to grab rebounds. That Easterner has a very strong rebounding ability." Terrence Jones, who is also an insider, reminded, but he didn't know that everything had just begun.

The Rockets made a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and when~, it went out with iron.

This is the problem of long-range shots. Generally speaking, in official games, the hit rate of 35% is the passing line, and it usually fluctuates around this value.For example, the Rockets averaged 36% of their three-pointers per game this season, which is a passing level.This is especially true for the substitutes, whose stability is a bit worse than that of the starting players.So this gives the Lakers a good chance to narrow the score difference.Tang Qian forced a position, protected the defensive rebound, and then passed it to Steve Blake to dribble across the half.

When the basketball was in the hands of Antawn Jamison, he actually wanted to shoot another three-pointer!This made Tang Qian a little angry, and immediately let go of his throat and shouted: "Don't shoot blindly, pass the ball to me!!!" Hearing the voice of No. 29 of the Lakers, Jamison froze a little, yes Neither cast nor pass.

Tang Qian knew that Jamison must have been provoked by Francisco Garcia, so he gradually lost his composure.But now that the situation is critical, where is the time for Jamison to mess around?Tang Qian got stuck and shouted again: "Pass the ball! Pass the ball immediately!"

It's not that Tang Qian doesn't know how to speak like this, and he doesn't give Jamison any face, but he tried to speak well just now, how did the latter do it?Didn't take it seriously at all, didn't take it to heart at all.Now that the score difference is so far behind, every offensive opportunity is crucial, and Tang Qian can only temporarily ignore the latter and forcefully ask for the ball.

Sure enough, in this situation, Jamison reluctantly passed the ball, but his face was obviously not very good-looking.

Forget it on the defensive end, your number 29 is great, and I can bear to dictate to me, but why do you yell and give orders on the offensive end?Gasol hasn't spoken yet, but you are breathing first?Do you really think you are Kobe Bryant?

Jamison has been in the league for a long time, so it is normal to be a little "old ball" temper, but immediately, he was shocked.Because No. 29 of the Lakers forced Parsons behind him, he dunked into the basket with both hands again.

Looking at the referee's gestures also created an additional opportunity for defensive fouls and defensive penalties.

Tang Qian took a few deep breaths at the free throw line, and then made a serious shot. After the basketball rolled on the rim for 2 laps, it finally fell into the Rockets' net bag. 2+1 success! 25-47, after the Lakers timeout, Tang Qian scored all 7 points!And the shooting rate is 100%.

"Chandler, aren't you? Can't stop that Eastern guy at all?" Terrence Jones said again, which annoyed Parsons a bit, and the latter blurted out: "Can you prevent If you have to, go defend it, I’ll defend Gasol!" "Okay, just replace it." Terrence Jones and Parsons are actually players in the same position, so there is a gap between them. Certain competition.Parsons is a second-year student, and his current average per game is 2+15+5+3, which is considered to be the main player.Terrence Jones is a first-year student. He graduated from the prestigious University of Kentucky. Before joining the NBA last year, he just won the NCAA National Championship. .

So from the perspective of Terrence Jones, the opponent just entered the league a year earlier than him, and sooner or later he will make way for himself and become a bench substitute.Based on this mentality, he has always maintained hostility towards Parsons in the team's daily training, without much respect.Naturally, Parsons also felt this, so he still had a normal attitude towards the former, without much smile on his face.

Competitive relationships, especially competition for the same position, are the most tense and also the easiest to deteriorate in the NBA.

Terrence Jones wants to perform well in front of the head coach, and let McHale know that he can defend those who Parsons cannot defend.Where's Chandler?His idea was that it would be best to get out just in time to avoid the frontal offense and defense with No. 29 of the Lakers, and at the same time be able to trick Terrence Jones.

The Rockets Beverly passed the ball to the basket, Terrence Jones made an air cut and ran, then rushed out from the weak side, and the master made a layup.

Empty cut running and weak-side slips are Terrence Jones's forte in college, and he also brought this skill package into the NBA.

OK, scored!
In the rookie period, the most important thing is not the record, not the salary, nor the status of the team, but the performance. The better the performance, the brighter and more eye-catching, the better.As long as you perform well, all the previous things will come naturally.Coming from the University of Kentucky, a famous basketball school, Terrence Jones understood this truth in college.

As long as the offense scores one and the defense defends another, it will definitely leave an impression in the head coach's mind.

But the idea is always good, but unfortunately the reality is a bit cruel. A big yellow palm ruthlessly stopped the basketball when it was about to enter the basket.The Lakers launched a defensive counterattack.

Damn, it was covered!This Oriental!Bad my good deeds!
However, the Lakers' defensive counterattack failed. The Rockets took advantage of their youth and vitality to return to the defense quickly, killing the Lakers' fast break.Helpless, Steve Blake could only switch from mobile warfare to positional warfare.

"Give me the ball, Steve."

"Give me the ball, Steve."

Two shouts sounded from the outside line and inside line at the same time. Steve Blake saw that he was in trouble immediately.

Because Tang Qian and Antawn Jamison asked him for the ball together.

to whom?Just when Steve Blake was hesitating, a shout suddenly came from the inside: "What are you still hesitating about? It's time to attack! Steve! Give me the basketball!" Seeing No. 29 Having said that, Blake can only pass the ball and temporarily "empty" Jamison.

Damn it, didn't pass it on to me but passed it on to him?Who is the team's sixth man?
Because Jamison came to the Lakers, the management gave him a tactical positioning as the sixth man, which can improve the firepower and stability of the Lakers' bench.But as the season progressed, he slowly discovered that his team status was gradually losing.The reason was that an Eastern center suddenly woke up from the bench!

It's not that Jamison hated Tang Qian particularly from the beginning, it's just that when his own interests were involved, he couldn't look at the problem objectively and rationally.Being deprived of the status of the team is always not so happy, not so happy, isn't it?

But soon, Jamison gave up the idea of ​​creating a gap with Tang Qian, because the next ball, the latter played too domineeringly, even when he thought about it, his whole body trembled.What ball is so scary?
"Oriental guy, you can't make this shot. I'm not Chandler Parsons!" Terrence Jones said after seeing No. 29 of the Lakers holding the ball.Hearing this, Tang Qian smiled mockingly and said, "Is there any difference between you and him?"

"But there is one thing, you're right." Tang Qian pushed Terrence Jones away easily with his back, and then took off vigorously, trying to bomb the rim. "Don't think about it!" Terrence Jones is 2cm shorter than Parsons, but his weight and wingspan are far larger than the latter. In addition, he is conceited that he is good at defense. By 15 minutes, you can get 1+ block data.The only four players at the University of Kentucky who scored 1000 points, 500 rebounds and 140 blocks, Terrence Jones has a certain strength and confidence.

But now, it's useless.

You want to rival Captain America in strength?What is it if it is not a dream?
Tang Qian didn't even look at his opponent, so he forcibly smashed towards the Rockets' basket.

"You are too arrogant! Oriental guy! I..." Before he finished shouting, a huge force bumped into him, and then completely overturned him.

boom! ! !
Tang Qian dunked successfully! ! !

For the first time since the start of the game, Staples Center erupted in massive applause.

"Slam dunk!!! From number 29, Tang!!!"

Bill McDonald's voice shouted passionately.

"I'm not going to vote in it, I'm just thinking about buckling it in."

Tang Qian hung on the basket and bowed his head to the fallen Terrence Jones.
