Chapter 584 Tianwang Mountain
The battle of Tianwangshan, that is, the term that appeared after the two sides in the series reached a 2-2 tie.

If anyone can win, the hope of advancing to the next round will be greatly increased.

According to ESPN's large database description, the promotion probability is as high as 80%.

However, this kind of thing is originally a cold data. If you rely on it at all, you will definitely die miserably and suffer a complete defeat.

Before this battle, the Spurs said: The Lakers are a very strong team, so they will readjust themselves to fight with all their strength.The subtext of these words is, well, I'm ready, I'll be serious next time!

In order to improve the morale of the team, Tang Qian also said: The Lakers are bound to win the Tianwangshan battle, because he has found a way to deal with the second strongest team in the West!
Method?any solution?Tang Qian didn't find any way at all!He just said this in order not to be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.Otherwise, declining before a battle is generally not a good thing.Moreover, this game was held at the AT&T Center Arena in San Antonio. The Lakers challenged away, and the pressure was not light.

At the press conference before the game, someone made a fuss:

"Tan, what do you think of the second team of the league's best defensive team? Are you satisfied with your vote rate?"

Tang Qian glanced at him, and said in a neutral voice: "It's ESPN's guy again, and he has racked his brains to do things for the owner. It seems that ESPN's treatment and food are really good." After finishing speaking, he began to answer the former Asked the question, said: "I don't think about things that have already been settled. Anyway, appealing and complaining are useless, aren't they?"

Unexpectedly, this ESPN reporter didn't skip it easily, and continued to ask: "That's hot, are you satisfied? Dissatisfaction can be expressed. We are a democratic society, democratic politics, and freedom of speech." Tang Qian saw that he did not comply. Not forgiving, with a look of swearing not to give up until the goal is achieved, he also became angry, and blurted out directly: "If you want me to give a controversial answer, just say it, don't talk about democracy or freedom of speech for me, Anyway, since I said it, you also need to process and polish, right? If that’s the case, I’ll help you.”

Tang Qian fixed his eyes on the ESPN reporter, and then said in a cold tone: "I am very dissatisfied with the vote rate this time, because I think I should be better than 'barely' squeezing into the second defense, isn't it? But what? , This, um, most NBA head coaches don’t like me, so there’s nothing I can do about it, right? But…”

"I will make them regret it in the future. Well, that's it." After speaking, Tang Qian turned and left the interview booth. The Lakers press officer also announced that the interview time had come. If you have any questions, you can ask them after the game is over.The attitude towards Tang Qian was shocking, and there was a lot of discussion on the Internet for a while.

This oriental boy is too arrogant!What does it mean that he is not satisfied with the vote rate this time?What else do you want to do if you squeeze in the second defense?Do you still want to be the leader of the second defense?

I'm afraid that the leaders of the second team will not be able to satisfy his appetite, maybe they want more than just the second defense!
Still want a defense?He is too self righteous!Do you really think that your defense has become the NO.5 in the 1th position?
The funniest thing is the last sentence, "they will regret it in the future", how can you regret it?Still want to enter the first defense against the face?There is no precedent for people of yellow race entering the first defense, right?Yao didn't even do it in his peak period!

……

Tang Qian didn't bother to respond to the comments on the Internet, because as long as competitive sports show their results, data, and honors, these "online comments" will naturally die down and drop straight down.But to say that I don't have fire in my heart is also a lie. Based on my performance this season, let's not talk about the first defense. Is it so difficult to enter the second defense?

Reluctantly squeezed into the second defense, this kind of vote rate made Tang Qian unhappy.

But the head coach has no choice. The No. 5 position of the best defensive team is actually the rarest position with the highest gold content.Why do you say that?Because unlike G and its F, there is only one place for C.This is why the competition for the 5th position was so fierce in the 90s. There were too many strong Cs in that era, and there were often times when there were hidden gems.Not to mention Patrick Ewing, he has only made two All-Defensive Teams in his career, and they are all second defenses.O'Neal is strong enough, but he didn't have a defensive lineup throughout the 2s. The first one didn't come true until the 90-1999 season. His career was only one more than Ewing's, and he was also a second defense.

Basically, the defensive lineup in the 90s was taken over by Olajuwon and David Robinson. The two were either on the first defense or the second defense. This directly led to the failure of other outstanding centers to be selected, and they could only regret it for the rest of their lives.In addition, Mutombo, a strong defensive man, disrupted the situation, so throughout the 90s, no matter how good you were, as long as you were a player at the 5th position, you almost missed the best defensive team.Think about it another way, if C has the same position as F or G, there are four places for one defense plus two defenses?

Then maybe there won't be so many "human tragedies".

For this year's second defense, the original winner was DPOY Marc Gasol alone. Tang Qian barely tied with Avery Bradley in the votes with his boss. According to the rules, he can be shortlisted for the best defensive team at the same time.But if you think about it carefully, DPOY is the second defense this season, and it is not surprising that Tang Qian almost lost the selection.The head coaches are not blind, but Tang Qian's competitors are too strong.

In the 89-90 season, Ewing averaged 28.6+10.9+2.2+4 super luxury data per game, but in the end he missed the best defensive team, and he didn't even get a second defense.This is the real bad luck.It's not that Olajuwon and David Robinson shouldn't have received this honor that year, but it's a bit "excessive" to omit Ewing.

The block data of 4+ per game is a top data set in any era, but because there are too few places at the center position, it can only be regretted that it has become one of the most unjust cases in history.Tang Qian almost "copied" this year, which made people feel slightly annoyed.

That's why he said that in the interview.

Jamison once again disclosed the "gossip" to the "media", and the Lakers felt "regretful" about losing the No. 29 pick.

It seems that he is determined to fight Tang Qian now.

Because of jealousy, his relationship with No. 29 of the Lakers broke completely.

On April 2013, 4, US time, the Lakers challenged the San Antonio Spurs away. This season at the AT&T Center Arena, the latter's winning percentage exceeded 30%.In fact, looking at the entire history of the NBA in the past ten years, the Spurs' home winning percentage is among the best, so the people of San Antonio are full of confidence, while the people of Los Angeles are worried.

Before the start of the game, the Lakers submitted tonight's starting roster, named: PG Duhon, SG Meeks, SF Jamison, PF Gasol, C... Tang Qian.This is the first time that the Lakers No. 29 overwhelmed the Lakers No. 12 so far when Howard is not injured and absent.In the locker room, "Warcraft" Howard's face was as gloomy as water. He looked at the back number of No. 29, and his eyes flickered.

Of course Mike D'Antoni knew what it meant to do so, but he had already made the final decision, so his mentality was no longer the same as before.As for what will happen to the relationship between the 29th and the 12th, this is not what he has to deal with, because for the 29th, is it not a test?If it can withstand it, it will make its mood stronger.

Howard walked out of the player tunnel with great anger and walked into the AT&T Center. Seeing the leading No. 29 in front of him, he seemed to think of certain clips and certain scenes in the All-Star Game.At that time, it was the first time he played as a substitute for Tang Qian, and now it is the second time.

Although it is said that the first time is familiar and the second time is familiar, Howard at this time can't wait to punch the former's head.

This formation made Dwight Howard feel hot and humiliated.

After the warm-up was over, Duncan and Tang Qian walked past each other and said, "Boy, we won't show mercy tonight."

Tang Qian replied after hearing the words: "I only woke up after losing 2 games, isn't it a bit late?"

"It's not too late, Dongfang boy, our culture in San Antonio is to play steadily, as long as we win in the end." Duncan's words made Tang Qian feel uncomfortable for a while, and said: "Then let's talk about it after you win. Now we are still standing on the same page." At the starting line, whoever loses wins, not necessarily!" Duncan smiled, walked directly to his own bench without saying a word.

ESPN Live Room, Channel [-].

"The Los Angeles Lakers actually replaced Dwight Howard with an Eastern rookie? Are they crazy?" the host Jay Williams exaggerated. "Crazy can't be called crazy, but it is indeed a little thoughtless. For the team's winning percentage, Mike D'Antoni shouldn't do this." The person who spoke was Tang Qian's "old acquaintance" Jerry Lucas. , sitting in the guest seat and said: "The data proves that the more critical the game is, the worse the rookie and the substitute's game state will be. D'Antoni is too gambled, and it is easy to make the coaching team suffer a lot."

"That's right, Jerry, I think so too." Jay Williams began to flatter his feet and said, "Dongfang Hot's defensive end may be okay, but the offensive end is far behind Dwight Howard. The average contribution of 5+ points in the regular season is less than [-] points per game. Such a pure blue-collar, let him replace 'Warcraft', I am afraid that the next game will be a mess. The Spurs are not a soft persimmon. Back home, they will definitely In one go, take down Tianwang Mountain."

"Well, whoever loses Tianwangshan will be passive in the subsequent series." Jerry Lux nodded and said: "I predict that the Spurs will advance 4-2 and eliminate the opponent."

"I think so too, Jerry, our heroes see the same thing!" Jay Williams said forcefully.

AT&T Center.

Before Tang Qian went on the court, he walked past Mike D'Antoni and whispered: "Mr. D'Antoni, please rest assured, I will not let your choice become a joke." D'Antoni smiled and said: "Come on, I will I also have faith in you."

No. 29 nodded, then strode towards the middle circle.

Before the Spurs entered the field, Popovich glanced at the crowd and said, "Have you heard the layout clearly? This game can no longer have any mistakes or underestimates, otherwise whoever plays badly will not be able to play in the next series." Play! Do you understand?" "Understood, sir!!!" The Spurs replied loudly.

Tang Qian won the jump ball without any surprise. This seems to be a good start, but in fact it is not.

The Lakers missed the first ball attack, the Spurs dribbled forward, Parker passed to Tim Duncan, Duncan dribbled the ball, made himself closer to the Lakers' basket, and quickly...fake the ball, basketball Go straight to the free throw line.Tang Qian quickly made up, but at this moment a figure moved out from the side, blocked the former, and said: "Don't think about passing, just stop here."

Take a closer look, who is it if it's not DeJuan Blair?In this game, Popovich pushed the former to the starting position, and he and Duncan were jointly responsible for the Spurs' inside line.Moreover, one of his tasks is now.

Use your agility and weight to help offensive players screen and pick and roll.

Don't underestimate this matter. Not everyone can make high-quality pick-and-rolls and screens, but in the Spurs, from the bench to the core, there is no one who is not proficient in this technique.The team known as the highest tactical literacy in the league is by no means joking.So if Tang Qian didn't pay attention, the road ahead was blocked by De Juan, and De Juan weighed more than 260 pounds. With a height of 201 cm, he was already considered a very "exaggerated" figure.

At least from the perspective of "cross meat", that is the case.

Tang Qian wanted to break through in an instant, but had no choice but to foul.

So I missed the opportunity and could only watch the Spurs No. 9 break through the middle.

"Tony Parker!"

The name of the Spurs No. 9 rang at the AT&T Center.

Jamison of the Lakers made a top three-point shot. His shot selection was getting worse and worse, as if he was angry all the way. Mike D'Antoni stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Antoine, what are you doing with this kind of ball?" What? You also shoot this kind of ball?" The basketball really missed. Tang Qian wanted to grab the offensive rebound, but was blocked by the Spurs No. 21. No. 21 himself didn't want the rebound and asked Leonard to come in and pick it up. down.

The Spurs quickly launched a defensive counterattack, and finally Leonard dunked the goal.

4-0, Tang Qian smelled a crisis.

After the first quarter, the Lakers trailed San Antonio by 25 points, 37-12.

Why do you lose so much?Because the Spurs have become more serious, their tactical cooperation and concentration far exceed the previous 4 games.And Popovich's tactical targeting is more detailed and more obvious.The Lakers were led by the nose for a whole quarter, unable to use their strength.

Howard finally found a "breakthrough" and said: "Mr. D'Antoni, let me go, the team is already in danger now."

Who knew that in less than half of the second quarter, Howard made 6 of [-] shots. Duncan's single defense is obviously stronger tonight than the previous four games.This made the "Warcraft" in the "Jiushu Battle Formation" ashamed and almost exploded.

"Damn Duncan! You still use small moves at such an age??? I want to complain!!! I want to report the situation to the league office!!!" When Howard was yelling, he got up on the 29th and said: "Mr. D'Antoni , let me play, I'm ready."

"Have you thought of a way?" Mike D'Antoni asked.

"I thought of it." Tang Qian said.

"What is it?" D'Antoni said.

"Be serious." Tang Qian said slowly.
