Chapter 726 If you want to slap your face, you have to hit ESPN first

And don't tell me, Le Fu's move has worked wonders.

Because his three-point shooting percentage today is very high. At a glance, it is close to 60%!Maybe it will drop later, but looking at it now, it's amazing!This season can be regarded as a year in which Kevin Love has basically made three-pointers. He averaged about 6.6 shots per game, but his shooting percentage was as high as 37%!For a 208CM big man, this is almost equivalent to the level of a high-quality shooter!

And his average number of three-point shots per game can be regarded as reaching the peak of an inside player. You have to know that even Dirk Nowitzki has never had a career high of 5+ three-point shots per game in a single season. .Therefore, this guy Love's obsession with three-pointers has reached a new dimension in the traditional saying of "soft inside".

If this was the early 21st century or the 90s, this style of play would only be ridiculed and despised from beginning to end.

But now is the "new era". The direction of the league and the changes in the rules have relaxed the requirements for this type of people.

The label on the body has changed from "soft guy" to "new era insider", "insider with excellent range", "spatial insider" and so on.The speed of this wind direction change is probably unimaginable for those players who played before.However, it is still the 13-14 season, and there is no standard title for the so-called "spatial insider", so Love's approach is still a bit super strong.

But, soon, he will be the leader of the times.

And the person who accelerated the catalysis was none other than Tang Qian, the center of the Lakers.

"Fuck!" Tang Qian couldn't help cursing when he saw that Love had thrown another three-pointer. However, Love is determined to survive on the outside in this game, so no matter how provocative Tang Qian is, He also tries not to challenge inside.In this way, the Lakers need someone to pull it out, otherwise it is not a sensible thing to give Love an open three-pointer.

"Hot, why don't I go out, but I can't come back after I go out." Thackeray said with a heartbroken heart.After all, as a seven-footer, if he leaves the paint, he will completely give up his strengths and statistics.In fact, the Lakers' best inside defense expander should be Tang Qian, but if Thackeray stays inside, it will be tantamount to giving up rebounds. For the current Lakers, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

Tang Qian glanced at Thackeray and said, "Such a sacrifice is a lot, Roberto, are you sure you have thought it through?"

Instead of regretting it afterwards, it's better to say it in one breath, so as not to feel unhappy when it happens.

"Hot, I've figured it out, it's okay, without you, I wouldn't even have the chance to play now." Robert Thackeray said: "I know exactly what kind of strength and ability I am, so in order to Being able to stay in the league for a few more years, I'm willing to do these jobs, even if it doesn't matter if it doesn't have data."

When Tang Qian heard what Thackeray said, his heart warmed up, and he said, "Don't worry, I actually appreciate you more than those people, and the two of us are more compatible, aren't we?" If there is really a player who is willing to help Blocking people or even supplementing and expanding the defense from the outside will be a huge good thing for the main inside.

Because it means that his energy can be concentrated without distractions and distractions.

It will not drop in data because it is often transferred out, and it will not be able to play the role of the defensive core.

The point is that this kind of person is very rare. Those who can enter the NBA are young geniuses, arrogant people. Who doesn't want to get more data and then get a big contract and get out of the country?Do you think I am a fool if you want me to be a purely coolie, or the kind of "lowest coolie" who can't even get basic data?
People have desires and aspirations, so this kind of "willingness" is the most difficult to find.

In the future, many people will be smarter and choose this path, and because the league has entered the "big premium era" in an all-round way, they will also get a lot of salary and rewards.One of the representative figures is Tristan Thompson. A blue-collar worker with an average of 8+8 or 8+9 per game like him still gets a huge salary close to 2000 million a year. Hill, in his 14-year NBA career, only received a total salary of just over 5000 million. PJ Brown is similar, with a total of more than 15 million US dollars in his 6000-year career.Of course there is James' involvement in this, but it also proves that as long as the matching is right, ordinary blue-collar workers can also have spring.

And Tang Qian needs such people now, like Tristan Thompson, Tyron Hill, and PJ Brown who don't care about data "pure blue-collar coolies".Thackeray is seven feet tall and weighs about 270 pounds, which is definitely enough for this qualification.So as long as he is willing to sacrifice, Tang Qian will need this kind of person by his side in the future.

Otherwise, if they don't want to go out, he can only go out by himself, and if he goes out, it will be a big loss for the Lakers.Investment and return are not directly proportional.

Sure enough, after Thackeray took the initiative to expand his defense, Kevin Love's three-point shooting percentage began to drop sharply. Most of the big men in the NBA shot three-pointers by using space and misplaced shots.There are very few people who can face or top shoot like "Nuo Tianwang".Love also obviously doesn't have this ability. He needs a certain amount of space and space to shoot.

Someone jumped up, and he was still a 7-footer. His long-range shooting efficiency could only fall off a cliff.

Of course, he can easily pass Thackeray by relying on his speed and explosiveness. After all, he is also a 7-foot center. Thackeray is a traditional type. He does not have Tang Qian's almost abnormal speed and agility.So on the outside, Love can easily pass the former.

But the question is what happens after that?Does he dare to go inside?If you don't dare to go inside to shoot, it's just a mid-to-long distance jump shot, Kevin Love doesn't have the confidence.After all, after 2010, mid-range and long-range jump shots, especially long-range 2-pointers, were classified as "inefficient scoring methods" by ESPN.And if you really play basketball, you know that the mid-range is more difficult to practice than the three-pointer. It doesn’t mean that the more accurate your three-pointer is, the better your mid-range is. On the contrary, there are a large number of three-pointers in NBA history. , Their mid-range is not very good, even far worse than the three-pointer.

Compared with the three-pointer that relies more on muscle memory, the situation of mid-range shots is more complicated, there are more points to master, and the defensive pressure is stronger. This is why there are fewer and fewer mid-range masters.The results are slow, time-consuming, and few points are scored, and these are precisely the strengths of three-pointers.

Quick results, less time-consuming, more points, so you can see more and more three-point shooters in the league, but the strange thing is that there are fewer and fewer strong mid-range shots, and the remaining ones are basically from the beginning of the century or even It is the "old man" of the last century.However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Three-pointers are easier to practice than mid-range shots, and they also score more points and are more lethal. Far easier to contain than mid-range.

This shortcoming has not been solved by "Ku Hao", who claims to be the strongest three-pointer in history, and other people don't have to think about it.

Unless you are teamed up at the peak and form a multi-giant universe team, the more the game escalates, the more defensive pressure you face will also escalate, so that the pros and cons of three-pointers and mid-range shots will be highlighted.Otherwise, the Warriors in the original time and space may have won three consecutive championships and established a new dynasty, and there is no need to recruit "Reaper Durant".

Taking advantage of Love being pressed down, Kobe made consecutive strong hits. With Tang Qian guarding the inside line, he could play more unscrupulously on the offensive end.The opponent, Kevin Martin, was almost blown out of shit.This statement is not elegant enough, but it is like this on the scene. Kevin Martin has always been a "black hole" with weak defense. Even if Kobe beat him last season, it was easy to ask for anything.It is no exaggeration to say that Kobe is the terminator of "Kevin Martin".In the original space-time career match data, Kobe is close to averaging 30+5+6+2 per game.Where is Martin?Only 16+2+2.This still counts Kobe's torn Achilles tendon in the last few seasons, otherwise the career match data will be even more terrifying.

I also want to mention here that the career match data can only be referenced in the same position, at least in the regular season.Because there are very few long-term misplaced offenses and defenses in the regular season, playing like this is too tiring, and it consumes too much for the team and players, which is not conducive to coping with the entire 82-game ultra-long schedule of the NBA.Therefore, for all players who are not matchups, especially outsiders, the matchup data in the regular season is basically of no reference.Unless you can make a complete set of detailed screenshots of regular season matchups, this kind of comparison is basically comparing the strength of players in your position and the opponent's position.

However, unfortunately, Kevin Martin is the main No. 2 position, and his opponent is Kobe.

So this set of alignment data is full of unquestionable gold content.

The overall matchup data is more than half of Martin's. In the NBA, even hitting a blow is considered light, and it can only be said that it is appropriate to hit shit.And this season's Kobe is the super-peak Kobe who is at the peak of all aspects. Playing him is even more relaxed and happy. In the final matchup, Kobe made 5 of 5 shots and scored 12 points in a row, leading the Lakers to overtake the score in the last 2 minutes. .

Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman called a timeout, this time in fact the Lakers have taken advantage.

Both physically and psychologically.

Because no one in the Timberwolves can play the final "key ball" and "closing ball".

And it just so happens that the Lakers are playing this kind of ball this season, not one of the strongest teams.

Even though they have Kevin Love and Kevin Martin's "Double Victory Combination", the average scoring of these two people this season is as high as 26+19+, and both of them scored 5 points in the last 2 minutes, which is already Not bad.But what about Kobe on the Lakers?The score in the last 5 minutes of this season is 6.9 points!This is even more exaggerated than Michael Jordan back then!Nearly 2 points higher than his own strongest season!In this statistics, most of them use a few tenths to calculate the gap. For example, Durant has 3.2 points this season, and James has 3.8 points this season.Counting the entire history of the NBA, except for the lack of statistics before the 80s, how many can score 4+ on this statistic?Very few!Excluding some "fishing in troubled waters" who only played a few games, starting from the millennium, there are only 13 times and only 8 people.Among them, Kobe has 4 exclusive seats, and Zhan Huang has 2 exclusive seats!
And those who can average 5+ per game, from the new century to this season, there is none, and the original time and space will only appear in the 16-17 season.

Therefore, Kobe's data, firstly, shows his tyranny, and secondly, shows the importance of the Lakers. Comparing this data, Los Angeles will be the strongest one since the 90s.Jordan is not as good.Of course, this has something to do with the Lakers' style of play this season, but if it is done, it is done. The Timberwolves and the Lakers bite the last moment, and they are at an absolute disadvantage from historical data.

What's more, the Timberwolves don't have Tang Qian, and Kobe's offense and defense are integrated, completely suppressing the opponent Kevin Martin, which means that the Timberwolves only have one Kevin Love left to rely on.Love has reached the peak of his career in scoring this season, but his shooting percentage is similar to Kobe's career shooting percentage. If you distinguish between position and style of play, this is considered low efficiency.Because no matter how Love goes outside to fly a kite, his main position is the 4th position, which is all inside, and the inside players only have a 4% shooting rate. This is equivalent to a "brush", a model of big shots and high scores.

At the same time, the extremely inefficient mid-range this season is also flawed. 3% of the 5-10 feet hit rate is much lower than the three-pointer, so you want Love to stop the mid-range shot and show the mid-range shot. Technology, that's a pipe dream.But for this reason, it is impossible for him to easily shoot a three-pointer, and Tang Qian's "half-god descending to earth" is strongly guarding the inside, leaving Love with few choices, not many. .

No way, you still have to vote. You can't expect Rubio, the "Lu Zhongyi", to be the main attacker, right?
So later, Love hit 3 shots in a row, and the Lakers overtook the score in one breath.

This made the head coach of the Timberwolves, Adelman, shout loudly: "Be tough, be tough, Kevin! You are a big man! You are a big man! Don't keep shooting outside! Go kill! Go inside and make kills." !!!” But Love is not Webber of the Kings back then, he doesn’t have that kind of ability, and his career shooting percentage at the basket is less than 6%, which is simply eye-catching!Because many outside players have a higher shooting percentage at the basket than him.

It is not unreasonable to say that he is soft. The "Nuotian King", who is famous for his shooting, has an offensive shooting percentage of more than 6% in his career.Le Fu can't even catch up with flattery.His career shooting percentage at the basket is not even as good as Kobe's, and it's still a long way behind.

This kind of person wants to go to the basket to challenge the "half-god descending to earth" Tang Qian, I am really embarrassed, a big hat makes him understand life.

"Just go outside and play obediently. Come inside and come to the basket in front of me. What are you looking for?" No. 29 of the Lakers said in a flat and joking tone.Kevin Love, hehe, he really didn't take it too seriously.

In his opinion, Love is just a No. 3 with a strong body and rebounding ability. If he wants to play hard at the basket, his skills and abilities are not qualified.

On the offensive end of the Lakers, Kobe dunks!2 more points!
The score difference was further widened.

After Love suffered a big hat, he changed back to the "space 4" style of play, but it turned out that this style of play was really not very good at the last minute.In terms of stress resistance and stability, three-pointers are far inferior to mid-range shots. Unfortunately, our "Big Love" does not have outstanding mid-range shots.This may also be something that many pseudo-fans don't understand.

After all, in their view, Love is an all-round power forward who can go inside and outside. He is so accurate in three-pointers, how could he not be able to make mid-range shots?But the fact is that it is so cruel and slapped in the face coldly.

Although Love also made a three-pointer and a long 2-pointer later, generally speaking, the shooting percentage was extremely low, so the Lakers won the game smoothly.Ended his season 5-game losing streak.

Kobe scored 51 points in this game, including 21 points in the fourth quarter, which is also the basis for the Lakers' final comeback.

Tang Qian scored 8 points, 30 rebounds, 12 blocks and 2 assists.

The Lakers' style of play in the first half of the season has returned.

Moreover, Tang Qian also completed the task of "Today in History" in this game. Although due to scoring reasons, he only got the silver completion degree, but this is enough.

At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked Tang Qian, "What kind of player is Love, and what does it feel like to play against him?" The Lakers replied on the 29th:

"I think Love is a good stretch player, he's a heavyweight version of the 3, he has a good 3-point shot, he..."

Just as Tang Qian was talking, the reporter reminded: "Tang, Kevin is the 4th position, he is an inside player, not the 3rd position."

"Ah? Kevin is number 4? Is he an inside player???" Tang Qian pretended to be surprised and said, "Why didn't I see it?"

"I always thought he was a perimeter player."

Suddenly burst into laughter.

Secondly, someone wants to "find faults and pick thorns". This person is a reporter from ESPN. This person stood up and asked directly: "Excuse me, do you think the slogan 'Winter is coming' at the beginning of the season of your Lakers is not a sentence? Empty slogan? So far, although the record of the Lakers is not bad, it is not particularly good. How do you see this problem?"

Kobe frowned, but this question was not addressed to him. Out of politeness and rules, he shouldn't rush to answer, and Tang Qian is obviously not that kind of "rookie" and "weak chicken", so he decided to look at the latter first. How to answer.

"Hey, it's ESPN reporters again. I said why do you still come to our Lakers to ask questions? Don't you have countless eyeliners and insiders? Just ask them yourself? Just make up your own. Isn’t this superfluous?” Tang Qian was satirizing ESPN’s “lake black” attribute, and at the same time ridiculed that they publish articles that don’t pay attention to authenticity, but only pay attention to effect and eye-catching.

However, the reporter of ESPN is the reporter of ESPN, and the salary is the highest in the United States. The previous slogan was just shouting casually to deceive the league and fans?"

This is a very tricky question, because in addition to the surface, it also has an "undercurrent" inside.

If the answer is not good, it is easy to arouse the hostility of all teams in the league.

If this was a "star of the new era", he would not have waded into this muddy water, he would just have a laugh, but Tang Qian was not a "star of the new era", so he took a look at Kobe, opened his mouth and replied, "Call me whatever you want Shout? Trick the Alliance? You'll find out soon, won't you?"

"We don't want to come to accompany you this season."

"It's not running with you, what is that?" The ESPN reporter hurriedly asked. This is also a "nirvana" as an interview reporter, so that you don't have much time to think and react.

Tang Qian cracked his mouth and smiled, then stared at him with his eyes, and said slowly: "Of course we won the championship. When did the slogan of our Lakers change?"

"Win the championship? With all due respect, I think you are talking big. It has been several years since the Lakers won the championship last time. Now is the era of Miami."

"Miami? Is that the team that was paralyzed by me two weeks ago?" Tang Qian asked.

"If you can't win the game, the data is meaningless." ESPN reporters also began to go online and said: "Is talking big is one of the traditions in Los Angeles? It would be ugly if you get slapped in the face."

Tang Qian saw it clearly. This ESPN, unless you are as subdued as the "new era star" and respectful to it, otherwise, it will fight with you and make you bow your head under the power of the media.This is really...shit urinating!

"Don't worry." Tang Qian looked at the ESPN reporter's face, and blurted out forcefully: "If you want to slap your face, start with your ESPN."
