Chapter 630 Third Floor

In the second half, Ray Allen really stepped up his shooting. Although his opponent was known as the "king of mid-range shooting", Alan Houston's three-pointers would only stay in the "regular season" forever.why?Looking at his three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs, it is clear. The three-point shooting percentage in the regular season exceeded 4%, which is considered super accurate. The average of nearly 4 shots per game is definitely not a small base.But what about the playoffs?It is also very accurate, reaching 42%, except for the 98-99 season.

In this most critical season, Alan Houston seemed to be allergic to three-pointers, and it was only a mere 25%.

要知道他的整个职业生涯季后赛数据，有三个赛季3分球命中率超过了50%, 4个赛季超过了39%。再加上一个活塞队的33.3%, 他绝对堪称超级神射了。嗯，除了“黑八”的这个赛季。

But Tang Qian and the others were very lucky. What they encountered was Alan Houston this season. His three-point shooting percentage was extremely difficult to score even if he was open.Got a fight with Kidd.

In this way, Ray Allen's three-pointer is very important, even highlighted.

Because Latrell Sprewell's playoffs this season is also a "shit shit three-point shooting percentage", which is the same as Alan Houston's dime, the lowest in his career, but only 16%.And his career playoff three-point shooting percentage actually has a good 33%.

It is also cut in half.

Larry Johnson's 98-99 season playoffs were also touching three-pointers, averaging 4+ shots per game, but his shooting percentage was only 29.3%, less than 3%.Taken together, the New York Knicks' outside three-pointers hardly need to be too defensive.Because the highest is only 29%, what about the lowest?But 16%.

With this kind of hit rate, there is really no need to bother too much about arming.

What about the Tang Qian team?Kidd made 18% of his three-pointers in the playoffs this year. Szczerbiak was inexplicably inaccurate when he encountered a tough defense. In the regular season, he made 4% of his three-pointers in the playoffs. This is enough to explain the problem. Well, in the current situation, he cannot be relied on.So...the only one to count on is "Gentleman's Sword" Ray Allen.

Tang Qian is from 2015, so he is very aware of the weight of this man on the three-point line.

The shot in G6 that redeemed LeBron James once made 8 three-pointers in a single game in the Celtics Finals, setting a record for three-pointers in a single game in the NBA Finals. The three-point leader in the playoffs... Maybe these records will eventually be broken by the "Splash Brothers", but being able to sit on this throne shows one thing... Ray Allen's three-pointers are extremely terrifying and extremely reliable.

The shooting percentage in the regular season is 4%, and the playoffs are higher than the regular season, exceeding 4%. This is the strength of Ray Allen.

Moreover, he is different from Szczerbiak and Jason Kidd in that he has a strong three-point shooting ability. Furthermore, Ray Allen has a big heart and is not easily shaken.

In this way, if there are rebounds, Ray Allen's firepower will be fully displayed.

Of course, Alan Houston's average defensive ability is also an element of Tang Qian's desire for Ray Allen to strengthen his offense.You must know that the Ray Allen of this season is not the Ray Allen at the end of his career. His physical fitness and explosive jumping are all there, and the stats of 26+4+4 are also dazzling enough.If you want to beat Alan Houston hard, as long as you have rebounds, it's not a big problem.

Ray Allen's three-pointer was really impressive. He made 5 of 3 shots and immediately overtook the score, allowing Tang Qian to lead the New York Knicks by one point.In this kind of slow-paced game, once someone shoots a three-pointer, it will definitely kill someone.Because the New Yorkers didn't win by offense this season, their playoff average was actually only 85 points per game.

So their head coach, Jeff Van Gundy, immediately called a timeout, and then ordered Ewing and Camby to do a good job on the backboards. Offensive rebounds can be missed, but defensive rebounds must not be lost.But Jeff Van Gundy made a mistake. Ewing is no longer the "gorilla" he used to be. His average rebounds per game are less than 9+ in the playoffs. What about his inside partner Camby?Only 7+ rebounds, 10+11+ rebounds at the peak, have not been developed.

In this way, Terry Cartridge can almost exchange with him. It is not difficult for Tang Qian to overpower the "gorilla" at the end of his career.

Tang Qian now theoretically has the strength of 17+ rebounds, so against Ewing, who has less than 9+ rebounds left, his position seems to be perfect in an instant.It was as if eyes had grown out of his back. No matter how Ewing moved or tried to grab a favorable position, he was "ruthlessly rejected" by No. 29 of the Lakers.

Ewing roared, and he seemed to explode, but he still couldn't take down the young Eastern center in front of him.

Is it so far away?There was some disbelief in Ewing's eyes.

And this kid's actions...why is it so like Dennis Rodman?
With a huge rebound advantage, Tang Qian finally won the game 94-87. Tang Qian grabbed 18 rebounds in the game, which contributed a lot.He alone has more rebounds than Ewing and Camby combined.The total number of rebounds for the Tang Qian team was 45, and the opposite team had only 37, which was a full 8 rebounds short.

This is already a huge data advantage in slow-paced, slow-round games.

Tang Qian scored 2 points, 18 rebounds, 4 blocks, 3 assists and 1 assist in this game, but he was not the best player in the game, because Ray Allen's 29 points were too "eye-catching" .In a game with only 80-90 points, this proportion is equivalent to almost 110 points in a game with 120-40 points.And scoring is the highest level of basketball data, Ray Allen won the best of the game, no problem, no problem.

Although there is a little regret, the main purpose is to win. If you don't win, no matter how good the data is, it will be useless.

This is not the outside world. If you play well, no one will cheer for you and swipe your screen, so winning is what Tang Qian cares most about right now.

After each game, Tang Qian and these teammates can get a one-day rest period. During this period, they can take the opportunity to cultivate a tacit understanding and then strengthen the team's chemical reaction.And after a night of sleep, you can also restore your physical strength to cope with the next day's battle.

In the second game, the Tang Qian team won again, but it was very dangerous to win, with only a 2-point advantage.Even at the last moment, the New York Knicks had a chance to complete the overtake lore.It's just that Alan Houston didn't make the shot.

In this game, Tang Qian obviously felt that his opponent had become much stronger. No, it should be said that he was more targeted. Jeff Van Gundy may not be a champion coach, but the word defensive expert is still affordable.Whether it is New York or the future Houston, he is excellent in defense, and the teams he coaches are all tough bones in the league.

With a 2-0 advantage, Tang Qian and his team went to Madison Square Garden. Tang Qian is very familiar with this stadium because he played in the finals in the 70s in the "Garden Four Generations".The address of this venue has not changed since 1968, but decoration and maintenance details have been added.

Coming again, Tang Qian felt a little touched, but soon, he put away his mood, entered the field seriously, and then stood on the middle circle, ready to compete with Ewing.Ewing is indeed old. At the end of his career, he lost the ability of the past, and Tang Qian easily took the basketball away.

Jason Kidd holds the ball and Tang Qian goes first.

The Knicks also seem to have discovered the problem of Kidd's inaccurate long-range three-pointers in this series, so the distance of Sprewell's defense has become farther and farther.This made Kidd's breakthrough much less threatening.However, Tang Qian quickly brought it up and set a pick-and-roll for Kidd, who took advantage of the trend to break through.

However, unlike later generations, under the Hand-Checking rule, defensive players quickly delayed Kidd's breakthrough. According to Tang Qian, this was definitely a standard defensive foul in 2013.It's a pity that the league rules of 1998-1999 are now being implemented, so it is feasible for supplementary defensive players to do this.

Kidd could only be forced to pass the ball to Szczerbiak on the right, and Szczerbiak made a breakthrough shot...but was blocked by Ewing.The New York Knicks dribble forward.Similar to the previous two games, this team has no intention of playing a defensive counterattack at all, it just goes step by step, and then waits until all players are in position before conducting a positional battle.

Van Gundy's coaching style is really a headache. If you want to win, you have to peel off your skin.

Sprewell broke through Kidd with the help of the pick-and-roll, and then he forced himself to throw Terry Carterridge a body, then made a false block with his left hand, and made a low-handed layup with his right hand.Sure enough, it was the peak season of "Madman". His ability and personality reached their best in this season.

However, he is a player who plays a bit "individually". He was fine in Golden State in the early stage of his career, but when he went to the Knicks, he only had 2+ assists in an instant.A number 1 averages 2+ assists per game, can you imagine his style of play, what is it like?

The basket is Sprewell's first choice.

Just as the basketball was about to fall, a big hand appeared out of nowhere, and then slapped the "Madman" flying from the left.He is Tang Qian, No. 29 of the Lakers.

"Damn it!" The madman turned his head and glared at Tang Qian. Tang Qian couldn't feel that he was a person created in a "different space" by his realistic appearance.Well, maybe this is a living Sprewell, Tang Qian knows that "Different Space" has this ability.

In the opening 3 minutes, neither side scored a single point. In this round of the series, neither side has any "reliable" shooters, so the attack range is extremely narrow. Only one Ray Allen can open up a little space. , the rest of the people simply don't have the strength to pull this space.This may be the rhythm of the New York Knicks in the 98-99 season, but...isn't it Tang Qian's favorite?

The closer he is to the basket, the better Tang Qian can use his ability to protect the basket. If you look at the statistics, you will know that for 3 minutes, the Knicks' inside shots all fell through.Among them, Tang Qian made him miss 4 times and get capped 2 times. His inside deterrent ability is extraordinary.

But a basketball game is not a football game, and someone has to stand up to break the deadlock. It was Ray Allen again. He used a mid-range shot to tear open the iron curtain of the New York Knicks.

"Good job! Ray!" Tang Qian said.

"Yeah." Ray Allen nodded slightly while chewing gum.

Alan Houston lobbed the ball to Ewing inside. Ewing held the ball and seemed to be about to come alone.

When Ewing made a wrong footstep and hit his shoulder, he had to step sideways and turn around to hook. This is a scoring method he is relatively good at. With his extraordinary physique and wingspan, he has indeed hit a lot of points in his career.But Tang Qian won't let him succeed so easily. At his peak, that's all. Now you are only averaging 13+ points per game, shooting 43% from the field, and moving so slowly. Do you really think you are just an ordinary blue-collar?

Tang Qian bent his knees, jumped up immediately, and stretched his long arms, reaching out to touch the orange basketball.

touch?Got it?Can you touch this too?This guy's elasticity and bullet speed are so strong!

Seeing the basketball being blocked from falling, Ewing reached out to grab it, but someone was one step faster than him.

After Tang Qian got the ball, he made a long pass without hesitation, and then Kidd hit the board directly, and Ray Allen went into the basket empty-handed!

This is also the iconic move in Kidd's career, rebounding lobs.

4-0, the Tang Qian team took the lead.

"Patrick! Pay attention! This Eastern kid has a strong defensive ability! Don't shoot rashly!" Van Gundy shouted loudly from the sidelines, which made Tang Qian once again lament the power of "Different Space".

If I didn't know the truth myself, I would definitely think that everything is real now.

At the end of the first quarter, although the Tang Qian team only scored a low score of 17 points, the New York Knicks had even fewer points, with only 8 points recorded.During the break, Van Gundy kept arranging things. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the team's inside performance.

In the second quarter, the Knicks strengthened their outside offense and relied on a large number of mid-range shots to kill Tang Qian. This is a very effective approach, because mid-range shots are difficult to completely defend. If the hit rate is high... then it is defense The nightmare of the reader.In the first half of the second quarter, the Knicks took the opportunity to catch up with the score 23-24, and the Big Apple led by 1 point.

There is no way, the substitute teammates assigned to Tang Qian this time are too bad, and it is normal that they cannot stop the Knicks' substitute.

But Tang Qian didn't count on them too much. It would be enough to delay for a while and buy himself a rest time.

After Tang Qian came on the court, Tang Qian's defense became tyrannical again, and the inside line was almost indestructible. Whether it was Ewing or the young Camby, it was difficult to penetrate the No. 29 defense line of the Lakers.It's nothing to shoot from the outside alone, and the mid-range shot is not a three-pointer. If you can't guard your opponent, you can't kill someone.

Why is it impossible to prevent death?Didn't it mean that the New York Knicks are super defensive this season?Does it only allow opponents to score about 83 points per game?The reason is simple... They lost too many rebounds to the Tang Qian team, so no matter how good the defense is, it won't help.

Because as long as there are enough offensive opportunities, even a 20-30% shooting percentage can win the game.Who told the New Yorkers' own offense this season to be so ugly?Originally, he could only average 85 points per game. Now there is Tang Qian on the opposite side, and the average score is even weaker. Only 79 points in the second game is an example.

The New York Knicks, lacking the support of three-pointers, had a hard time breaking Tang Qian's iron barrel. Besides, they were also at a disadvantage in rebounding. At halftime, Tang Qian took the lead again, 44-37, leading by 7 points and returning to the locker room middle.

After the intermission, the two sides returned to the court, and Ewing looked at Tang Qian as soon as he came up and said, "Your good days are over."

"Oh? If you were at your peak, I might just nod passively, but now... are you still the 'gorilla' at your peak?" Tang Qian: "You can't attack me." Ewing was a little annoyed, The masseter muscle protruded, and he gritted his teeth at a glance: "Then I will show you, what is a center forward!"

"pass~"

Ewing made a tentative step in the waist position, and then unexpectedly made a breakthrough...turned around and rushed to the inside.This move was invincible in Ewing's peak era, but he forgot...he is no longer the same person he was back then.In front of Tang Qian, only...

Covered!
hateful!I won't lose to you so easily!

I was one of the top four centers in the 90s!

With a roar, Ewing forcibly took down the blocked basketball, then squeezed Tang Qian hard, and shot inside.

This shot?Has Ewing exploded?Tang Qian felt the change in the former's momentum, but the corner of his mouth turned cold, and he thought:

It's a pity that your basic ability is too weak now, even if you are a burst seed, don't even try to get in in front of me!
Tang Qian took off. Although he didn't block the ball, Ewing's shot still missed the basket and the basketball slipped.

Ewing still wanted to grab the rebound, but before he took a step, the front was already blocked, and Tang Qian grabbed the defensive rebound.

"You can't beat me, gorilla." Tang Qian threw the basketball in his hand and said, "Because of the 98-99 season, your era is over."

In the next game, even though Sprewell and Alan Houston tried their best to attack, they lacked rebounds and played against each other at a slow pace, so there was almost no chance of winning.In the end, the Tang Qian team made another victory 90-80.

After the big score of 3-0 in the series, the victory is basically confirmed, but if you want to sweep, you still have to be careful.

第四场比赛双方尼克斯队似乎要放手一搏了，不过唐潜在内线最后时刻的2次封盖，扼杀了他们赢一场的可能。最终92-89，唐潜队3分取胜。大比分4-0横扫对手。

It is said to be a sweep, but if you look at the score and the process of the game, it is not easy. If Tang Qian hadn't played the role of a defensive gate in the interior, it is not certain who will win this round of the series.Tang Qian averaged 10.9 points, 16.1 rebounds, 5.3 blocks, 2.7 assists and 0.8 steals in this round of the series.The best time in the game was 1 time, and I got a bronze agility card, followed by a bronze shard, 3 bronze ability card fragments were merged, and I got a bronze assist card.

Then the field disappeared, the "calendar board" disappeared, and Tang Qian got the second special ability card fragment.

He took a deep breath and walked up to the third floor step by step.

the third floor.

"There are three remaining opportunities to challenge on this floor, and defeat the opponent within three opportunities..."

The prompt sound was exactly the same as the previous two floors, but Tang Qian's expression changed slightly very quickly.

Because the "calendar board" on this floor is neatly written: This level challenges a random Eastern and Western champion team in the history of the NBA, the number of matches, 7 wins in 4 games, and the rules of the game, based on the time and space rules of the challenged. allow.The challenger has three powers to pick teammates.

The five teams lined up in order are the Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Stars, Detroit Pistons, New Jersey Nets, and Seattle Supersonics.Seeing this, Tang Qian suddenly understood. Sure enough, the last two are reserved options. You can continue to choose players from this team.Kidd and Ray Allen are necessary. These two people work together very smoothly, and there will be no mutual restraint.The question is what about the third person?The Los Angeles Stars will not be considered, mainly how to choose the Pacers in the 13-14 season and the Detroit Pistons in the 03-04 season.

In the 13-14 season, Paul George is naturally the first choice. This can just fill in the shortage of the 3rd position, but the Pistons in 03-04 are also very strong. Should I choose Ben Wallace and myself to form a super inside iron gate?This is also a big problem.

It's a pity that we don't know who the opponent is, otherwise we can arrange troops according to the specific situation of the opponent.

唐潜纠结了一下子，还是选择了保罗.乔治，因为现在他更加需要进攻点，13-14赛季的保罗.乔治可是一防三阵的球员，不需要担心防守漏洞的问题。至于分配到的球员，依旧狗血，没有几个强的。分别是乔.杨（15-16赛季）、鲁迪.怀特（75-76赛季）、吉姆.欧文斯（73-74赛季）、康纳.亨利（87-88赛季）、诺兰.史密斯（11-12赛季）、本.本蒂尔（16-17赛季）、丹纽尔.豪斯（16-17赛季）、乔丹.希尔（15-16赛季）。

And the opponent on the third floor is...

The "calendar board" stopped on the Phoenix Suns. Tang Qian took a closer look, and it was the Phoenix Suns of the 04-05 season.This made Tang Qian's face suddenly lose the smile.
