Chapter 556 I Only Consider Dunking

With the Rockets throwing a backcourt shot directly from the backcourt, when ~, the end of the first quarter.

27-47, Tang Qian took over all the Lakers' points from 1:20 of the first quarter.

100% shooting!The free throw percentage is 2% of 1 free throws and 50 free throw!

But still behind the Rockets by as much as 20 points.

Tang Qian calculated the time, and the battle must be resolved in the second quarter as soon as possible, otherwise, once the effect of the gold power booster card expires, he will not be able to reverse this adversity.Time, the most precious thing now is time!

"Steve, pass the ball to me as much as you can later. The Rockets' bench is vulnerable." Tang Qian made a rare request for the Lakers' No. 1 position in order to ensure the greatest offensive success rate.Steve Blake was taken aback for a moment, but seeing that Mike D'Antoni didn't say anything, and the 29th scored 1 points efficiently in 20 minute and 9 seconds, he chose to nod.

Originally, Gasol had some complaints when he saw that Tang Qian wanted to occupy the low-post offensive power, but the latter turned his head and comforted him with a word, saying: "Paul, let me play a few more while I am in good shape, you Try to conserve your strength, wait until the second half to exert strength, and defeat the Houstonians in one fell swoop!" After hearing this, Gasol immediately cleared his heart, nodded and said: "Okay, I will save my strength first."

Playing in the second quarter, Tang Qian continued his competitive state in the last 1 minute and 20 seconds of the first quarter, chopping melons and vegetables frantically, which completely exploded the Rockets' inside line.Terrence Jones' fate was even worse than Parsons'. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't block every movement and every turn of Zijin No. 29, and the harder he pounced, the latter would often smash the basket Get harder!
He was dunked twice in a row, and the second time even because the collision was too strong, Rocket No. 2 was ejected from mid-air and hit the base of the basket behind him heavily before stopping.Although 6 Tang Qian still made 2 of 2 free throws, the blow to rookie Terrence Jones was not ordinary.He suddenly felt that he was like a grass on the side of the road, and he didn't want to block the running tiger at all.

From the beginning to the end, No. 29 of the Lakers didn't look at him too much, just stuck in the low post, then turned around in the low post, and then took off in the low post for a dunk.When Terrence Jones made his third consecutive defensive foul, his mentality collapsed tonight. During the offensive process, a "butter hand" actually came up, directly missed the ball, and gave the offensive power to the opposite Los Angeles Lakers again. Team.

"Thank you, buddy." Tang Qian said "thank you" slightly to Rocket No. 6 as he ran to the front field, which made the latter's expression even more depressed and darker.For the next ball, the Lakers still had No. 29 holding the ball and attacking in the low post. This time McHale finally stood up and commanded loudly from the sidelines: "Go double-team him, double-team him!"

In the past, Kevin McHale wanted to learn from the calmness of the "famous coaches", to be calm when encountering problems, and let the players face and solve problems by themselves.But when the Lakers continued to narrow the score difference, he couldn't sit still.

After all, he is just a qualified NBA head coach. Compared with his legendary player career, his coaching career is not outstanding, nor does he have any special talents.It's okay to be a coach in the transition period. If you really want him to achieve some good results, it's definitely a dream.I dare not say it in the future, at least in the past few years, his coaching ability has been stabilized.Morey got "Warcraft" in the later period and continued to invite him. I don't know if there is something wrong with his mind.

If you let a McHale be the head coach of two superstars or quasi-superstars, he can only lower the average level of this team.

Because his coaching ability is there, without qualitative changes or breakthroughs, he is just a qualified head coach. The gap between first-class coaches, champion coaches, and famous coaches is not ordinary.And this ball is a typical example.If it is a first-class head coach, he will definitely choose to call a timeout instead of standing up and giving orders.

Kevin McHale didn't see that the No. 29 of the Lakers could no longer be limited by the current bench lineup. The result of not pausing would be to continue to send points and continue to weaken the confidence and morale of the players on the field.

Sure enough, even in the face of two double-teams, the Lakers No. 29 was still the same as the Raptors, violently crushing, and then took off and smashed the basket.Even if Parsons almost hangs on him, it's useless. With a bang, the Rockets' circle was almost torn off by Tang Qian.

A goal counts, plus a penalty!
This is the final penalty, leaving the Rockets' five players on the field stunned.

Tang Qian glanced at the time and thought, "Have you changed to the main lineup yet?"If you don't change it up, Xiaoye will turn the score over in one go!

Swipe ~ extra penalty hit ~ Tang Qian's free throw percentage tonight can't be said to be very good, but it can't be said to be bad either.

In his own opinion, he was basically satisfied.

37-47, the Rockets were beaten, Kevin McHale finally called a timeout, and the two sides went off to rest temporarily.

In the TNT live broadcast room, Charles Barkley was excitedly shouting: "See? Did you see? Kenny! This kid's style of play is full of violence! This is my favorite way to watch the inside attack. Today he He played so well at night!" Kenny Smith could only nod his head and said, "Indeed, Charles scored 5 points in 57 minutes and 19 seconds. If you don't look at free throws, his shooting percentage is 100%! Haven't missed even one shot yet! That's kind of amazing!"

"It's all dunks, how could it be possible that the shooting percentage is not high? The blame can only be blamed on the Rockets' substitute insiders, who are too weak defensively." Charles Barkley said with a laugh: "I can always play on some nights." Putting on this kind of pure hoop abuse performance, I was so excited that I couldn't help myself! I really hope he can help the Lakers reverse the game and make a perfect night!" "Charles, I'm afraid it's not easy." Ken Ni Smith said calmly: "Even if they scored a lot of points in the past five or six minutes, the Rockets are all on the bench. The only main player, Parsons, is a patient with weak interior defense, and he does not pose any threat to him. However, if it is not expected, after the timeout, McHale will send out the main force, and then it will be the time for the game to really enter the showdown."

"It depends on how the Lakers respond when they come back from a timeout."

Drip~ The timeout is over and the game starts again.

Not surprisingly, Kevin McHale brought in the full lineup, as if desperate to reconsolidate the deficit.

But this kind of substitution will actually intensify the psychological pressure of the players on the field, because the purpose is too obvious and too straightforward.

There is no room for maneuver.

Whether it is the timing of the timeout or the allocation of substitutions, McHale is a grade behind the first-class coaches.

"Finally up?" Tang Qian counted the time, then licked his lips and said, "Go all out!"

Before the end of this section, I will let your morale collapse!

火箭队进攻，这是哈登成为联盟知名球星的第一年，所以他也数据大爆发的头一年。从去年的场均16+4+3+1，眨眼就变成了优秀的接近26+5+6+2。而且今年他也成功入选了生涯首次全明星阵容，赛季模拟最佳阵容投票，介于2阵和3阵之间。

Similarly, this is the first time he has entered the list of the best team in the 4 years of the NBA.

A star of hope for the alliance seems to be slowly rising.

Of course, I also want to mention that this season is still the year when Harden's "touching porcelain" has made its initial achievements. The average number of free throws per game is in double figures, which shows his "lethal power".You must know that even Kobe can only reach this level in the three years when his personal ability is at its peak.Other well-known points such as Carter and McGrady have never reached double figures in free throws per game in their careers.The "Flash" Wade, who has broken through to become famous all over the world, has only had two careers.Therefore, it shows the power and horror of this data.

However, unlike his predecessors, Harden's free throws are more derived from actively "making fouls" or even "finding fouls."So from a certain level, it makes sense for Harden's free throw to be dubbed "touch porcelain".But Tang Qian didn't think there was any problem. Reasonable use of the alliance's "body hair whistle" rule was also a kind of ability.Playing basketball is about maximizing your personal abilities.

In this regard, Harden has done quite successfully, and in the end it was even so awesome that it made people "daunting".Many photos of players playing in order to avoid Harden's "touching porcelain Dafa" are also quite popular in later generations, which makes people look a little bit amused.But for him to play like this, he still needs to be able to withstand the test in the playoffs.Although the league has canceled the hand-check that suppresses the outside line most, which has greatly liberated the offensive ability of outside players, but compared with the regular season where it is easy to "touch porcelain" and "big swing", the penalty scale of the playoffs has changed significantly. .

And don't look at Harden's average free throws per game, which seems to have not changed much compared to the regular season, but after watching the game carefully, you know that the chance of "touching porcelain" at least 20 times in the regular season has been reduced by half now. about.This is the most obvious when looking at the shooting percentage, because once the "touching porcelain" fails and the referee does not give a whistle, most of the results will end in shooting.After all, if you want to "touch porcelain" decently, changing your shooting movements and distorting your body are the basic conditions. Coupled with the intensity of physical confrontation in the playoffs, Harden's shooting percentage in the 2012-2013 playoffs dropped significantly.In the regular season, the shooting percentage was close to 44%, but in the playoffs it directly became 39.1%, less than 45.6%.Then in the next season, the difference was even more clear. The shooting percentage in the regular season reached a good 37.6%. What about the playoffs?Cut off a full eight percentage points, leaving only [-]%!This is why Harden has never been able to become a real superstar. On the edge of a quasi-superstar, he has lingered for too long and always missed the playoffs.

A star who can be easily targeted is definitely not a superstar, at most it is a quasi-superstar capped, no matter how good your regular season statistics are, it will not help.And Harden has no MVP bonus for the time being, so the threshold for a quasi-superstar is several years.As for the future, it depends on his personal fortunes. Maybe he will explode suddenly, and then become a superstar or even a quasi-superstar. Maybe... he will spend his whole life at the peak of a quasi-superstar, spinning around on the edge of a superstar.

But now Harden doesn't know that his journey to the playoffs will become so "difficult". After all, he lived extremely comfortably in the first year of the regular season "after becoming a regular".Having tasted the sweetness, he was about to break through as soon as he came up, and then made a defensive foul by the Lakers.

This is also his most common problem-solving method in the 2012-2013 season.

"Porcelain Dafa".

No one knows this better than No. 29 of the Lakers, so as soon as he saw Harden's posture, he stood on the inside and said loudly: "Jordy, don't stick it too tightly, let him in if he wants to come in." Come in, the Lakers inside welcomes him." What?Let him in?Jody Meeks was stunned for a moment, and Harden took the opportunity to dribble in, breaking through the former's first line of defense.

Well, the next step is a group of people gathered around, and then made it convenient for themselves to "touch porcelain".

Harden was thinking about it, but what he didn't expect was that the Lakers were unimpeded from the three-point line to the inside.

No one went to double-team and help him.

This... This damn is blatantly looking down on me!

In this case, I will accept this ball with a smile!

Harden made a layup, and then was blocked with a big cap!

For people like Harden who like to rely on physical contact to "touch porcelain", "Rocket block" is simply the natural enemy and nemesis, so clean that even the referee who has collected black money can't say it. "A big hat! Hot successfully defended our Lakers penalty area!" Bill McDonald was talking, and the Lakers switched offense and handed the basketball to No. 29 again.

Not to mention the future, not to mention the second half, for this period of time, the number 29 of the Lakers is enough for the fans of the Staples Center to trust.The current shooting rate is 100%!Just ask who else in the Lakers team can compete with him?So as soon as Tang Qian got the ball, the Staples Center cheered and shouted: "Come on, hot, fulfill your promise! Lead us to the playoffs!"

"Kill the Rockets! I'll buy 10 of your jerseys tonight!!!"

"Destroy these Texans!!! Let them know how powerful the City of Angels is!!!"

As if suddenly, the whole audience became his fans.

This feeling, this expectation made Tang Qian slightly distracted, but he quickly adjusted back, focused and continued the game.After switching to the main lineup, Tang Qian's opponent became the 213cm Turkish center Omer Asik, and this season can be called the "peak period" of the latter, averaging double figures in points and rebounds per game, 10 +11, this third grader is full of hope for the future of his league.Besides, defense was originally his job, and his position in the NBA was that of a senior blue-collar.

From this point of view, he seems to be doing a good job, ranking fourth in the rebounding list this season, which is enough to show the ability of a first-class rebounder.

And except for No.2 Tang Qian, his playing time is the shortest in the top 5, exactly 30 minutes. He averaged 30 rebounds per game in 11.7 minutes, which is unimaginably efficient.If you give him the playing time of the rest of the players, he will have the ability to rebound 14+.So if you want to say that the underrated people, Asik in the past few seasons is definitely one of them.

It's a pity that physical fitness is his biggest weakness, which makes his maximum playing time, which is about 30 minutes, once it exceeds, his own efficiency will drop rapidly.This will become more apparent in the future, especially after 2015.But compared to Parsons and Terrence Jones just now, his defense is much more reassuring.

At least McHale feels that enough will not allow the Lakers to continue to "make waves" and "dominate" on the 29th.

"Asik has played top-notch blue-collar statistics this year, with an average of 10+ per game, and with a standard height of 7 feet, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to be the same as before... oh~ beautiful!!! Dunk!!! Hot and It's a dunk!!! He pushed Asik, who weighed more than 250 pounds, and turned around and dunked successfully!!!" 39-47, Tang Qian scored his 21st point, and his shooting percentage was still 100%!

Omer Asik was a little dazed, because just now, he seemed to be facing a 300-pound giant. As soon as the opponent's inside line exerted strength, his defense line collapsed, and he almost lost his footing.Although he has never fought against "Shark" O'Neal, he has played basketball for so many years, and it is the first time since his debut that he was pushed away by someone so easily.

Is it an illusion?Should I stand firmer for the next ball?
The Rockets are attacking, and James Harden is going to attack again. He was blocked by an insider just now, which makes the Rockets No. 13, who is full of confidence this season, not very happy.I am a first-class breakup with an average of 25+ close to 26+ per game, how could I be stopped by a blue collar?

Absolutely not!

Harden broke through with the ball. Because of Tang Qian's instruction, the opponent did not stick too tightly, which allowed Harden to easily rush into the inside of the Lakers.No. 29 of the Lakers looked at the former and opened his arms. Although he didn't say a word, the meaning was palpable: Come on, I'm waiting for you.

So far this season, how many people dare to treat Harden like this?Harden was a little angry, and as soon as his mind got hot, he jumped towards the Lakers basket and attacked.He is still the same with this ball, it is not going to the basket at all.His target is No. 29 of the Lakers, Tang Qian.

Tang Qian had expected this scene a long time ago, so he didn't stick to the front at all, but just stood there, waiting for his opponent to enter the urn.

bang~
The two collided under the basket, but the whistle that Harden was expecting did not appear, because the Lakers No. 29 went straight up and down the whole way, neither moving steps nor waving extra.Furthermore, this is the home court of the Lakers, and there is no reason for the law enforcement referee to give Harden a "star whistle". The "star whistle" is generally used on controversial foul scales. It is extremely rare in the league to give a "star whistle" even if there is no foul at all.And most of the referees didn't see clearly, or were deceived by the attacker's acting skills.

Harden's "Porcelain Touch" has just come to fruition this season, and his acting skills have not yet reached the point of perfection, so the referees did not punish Tang Qian for a defensive foul.

It didn't matter if the whistle wasn't sounded, but when Harden hit No. 29's body, he felt a strong shock force rushing towards his face, which was almost impossible to resist, and his body moved and was extremely deformed in an instant.In this case, Harden's shooting finally became 3 non-stick, non-stick basket, non-stick net, non-stick board, the basketball was obtained by Gasol, and the Lakers launched a fast break in the backcourt.

But Meeks "slipped his hand" on this layup. The basketball spun two or three times on the basket, but it still came out of the basket.

Tang Qian has not yet entered the inside of the Rockets, so the rebound was protected by the Rockets.

The Rockets made a quick break, and Jeremy Lin controlled the basketball. Just as Jeremy Lin was about to come by himself, a loud voice behind him stopped him and said, "Jeremy, give me the basketball!" The person who spoke was No. 13 of the Rockets. The league's top scorer James Harden.

This sentence is full of orders and unquestionable taste.

Jeremy Lin hesitated for a moment, but chose to pass the ball, and the basketball was passed to Harden who went down the middle.

I must kill you with this ball!Orientals!
Harden held his breath in his heart and concentrated on going to "touch porcelain" on Tang Qian's body.

Tang Qian had just returned to defense with the ball, and his foothold was still a little unstable, so he couldn't adjust the distance to block the Rockets. In the end, Harden could only hit himself as he wished.Beep beep~ Harden finally heard the whistle of his dreams.

good!I am really strong already!What league block king!I can't stop me anymore!

As for the huge shock force on No. 29, Harden has also made sufficient mental preparations after having one experience, and he believes that he will not be embarrassed again.But the golden power booster card brings more than just the shock force. Seeing that the whistle has been sounded, the Lakers did something on the 29th that made Harden remember tonight.

He didn't even look at it, he just slapped him down with a slap.

With a "snap", it hit the right hand of Harden's ball protector. Because Harden is a left-handed player, his offensive habits really made it impossible for him to react in a short time.But it doesn't matter, because what Tang Qian wants is thugs and intruders.Anyway, the whistle blew, and whether you hit this hand or not, you will be subject to a free throw... Why don't you charge some interest to maximize the effect of this foul.

What is the maximization of foul effect?

The older generation of stars gave a good example. Jordan had similar words about Kobe's 81-point game. Unless I committed 6 fouls, I would never let him score so many points.In addition, Ben Wallace, Mutombo, Ewing, Mourning, etc. have said that fierce and strong defensive fouls, fierce fouls that do not violate the spirit of sports competition, can let opponents understand your defense Attitude, to produce psychological scruples, dare not show off in front of you, rampage.

The same is true for the so-called art of fouling, which is to maximize your defensive will and pass it into the opponent's head.

This creates an invisible deterrent.

Immediately, James Harden felt a sense of force majeure, reaching his right hand, and then with a "bang", his whole body was slammed under the penalty area.The weight of the collision made the audience under the Lakers basket feel a toothache.

This is because Tang Qian didn't use much strength. If he used all, no, [-]% of his strength, it is estimated that Harden's life would be in danger.The golden power booster card allowed him to catch up with Captain America in his bench press power at the moment.If you think about what it would be like to be punched by Captain America, I'm afraid you dare not think about it.

After "beating" Harden down, Tang Qian "obediently" raised his hand, and then looked like he was punished.

The referee whistled for Harden to make a free throw, but unexpectedly, No. 13 of the Rockets did not stand up for a long time.

At this moment, the head coach of the Rockets couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately applied to the technical desk and the referees to let the team doctor come on the field to check the specific condition of James Harden.If the team leader was injured in the last game of the regular season, Kevin McHale would almost want to die.

Please, God, please don't "play" me like that?

Maybe it was McHale's prayer that worked, or maybe God really heard his prayer. The Rockets team doctor had just entered the field, and James Harden on the ground responded and forced himself to stand up.As soon as he stood up, he yelled at Tang Qian in front of him: "Oriental guy! You are cheating on me? Are you looking for a fight???" Harden was the boss at the beginning, he had a very violent temper, and he was far from the maturity and enthusiasm he would have a few years later. Steady, his famous nickname "Hakishi" is also the result of his indiscriminate words during this period.

"Hey, after becoming the boss, your temper is good?" Tang Qian didn't care, he looked at Harden and smiled lightly: "Well, but, if you have the guts, come over and try?" Tang Qian's words made Harden immediately Sober, I thought that I must not fall into the opponent's "trick". Howard, Brook Lopez, and the entire Nuggets team have all been repaired by this Easterner. I am just an outside player with more than one meter, so I still don't want to fight with him. This "silly big guy" who is more than two meters long cares about every detail.

"Hmph, savage! I don't want to talk to you!" Harden's words meant that he was cowardly, because the vast majority of black Americans have always been the ones who do what they say, and they are already cowardly if they can think rationally. .Tang Qian didn't care, and let Harden go to the free throw line to make a free throw.

when~
when~
James Harden missed both free throws?This situation makes the people of Los Angeles feel that it is a pie in the sky!

It shows that the Lakers' foul on No. 29 is very worthwhile!Not bad at all!
You must know that Harden is now an average free throw shooter of more than 85%, and he missed both free throws. This kind of thing is really rare for him.hateful!The right hand can't protect the ball at all!It's all the work of that damned oriental guy!Harden shook his still trembling right hand angrily, and stared at Tang Qian, as if he wanted to eat the latter.

Tang Qian didn't care, instead he smiled at Harden and said, "Thank you for not making two free throws, which made me earn it."

This made James Harden even more angry, his eyes sharpened, and he shot directly at the opponent, wishing to pierce the chest of No. 29 of the Lakers.

The Lakers' attack, or Tang Qian, continued to eat Omer Asik raw, making the opponent lose his temper throughout the whole process. Those who didn't know thought that the latter was cooperating with the former in match-fixing.

"Boom!" The Lakers scored again, 41-47, with only 6 points left, and a maximum of 26 points in the first quarter were eaten away.

The Rockets missed a shot, the basketball was protected by Tang Qian, and the Lakers attacked. After halftime, Blake did not hesitate to pass the basketball in his hand to the No. 29 teammate in the penalty area.This made McHale very unhappy, standing on the sidelines and shouting: "Omer! Guard him! He is about the same weight as you! You must do your best!!!"

But it turns out that McHale's sideline guidance was useless, and Tang Qian still pushed Omer Asik to the basket and dunked!This made Asik also suffer. He couldn't help complaining to No. 29 of the Lakers: "Hey, Dongfang, don't you do anything but dunk? You are always so tired! "

Tang Qian was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then replied: "Because the dunk success rate is the highest, and besides." He smiled and said, "You can't prevent it, can you?"

"When you are able to defend, I will naturally change my tactics."
