Chapter 776 The Unstable Factors of the Lakers

Hasim Thabeet, 7 feet 3 inches tall, probably around 221, with a wingspan of 7 feet 6 inches.This kind of hardware is fine, the most important thing is...he is not the type of a general 220CM+ big man who lacks athletic talent.This guy once had a vertical jump of 89cm in the rookie physical test!Don't think that everyone is Chamberlain and Tang Qian. Basically, there are very few players with outstanding athletic talents if they are above 210cm. Occasionally, one, such as "Big McGee", is even severe asthma, even if "IQ is a little low Fee", can also do well in the NBA, and has been "Mr. Ten Million" for 4 years at the peak.And you have to know, McGee is only 213CM, which is a full 221CM difference from 8CM! 8CM is the difference between 172CM and 180CM in ordinary people, you can imagine how big the gap is.

But Hasim Thabeet, known as the "big dream" of his college days, once averaged 4+ blocks per game, and his offense and rebounds were also at a "double-double" level.This is already exaggerated in the college league with fewer rounds and long possession time.In addition, he has a hit rate of more than 60%. He was also a popular candidate for the No. 09 pick back then, but he lost to the "White Monster" Blake Griffin. [-] was not a particularly big draft year, but there were also a large number of future "carrying stars" in the league such as Harden, Griffin, Curry, DeRozan, Rubio, Evans, Jennings, etc. star player.

During this period, Hasim Thabeet can become the second place, of course he has his own reasons.

McGee's physical bounce is 90CM!Now you know how exaggerated the bounce of 221CM is for a big guy who is 89CM!

It's almost to the level of Ralph Sampson back then!

However, he also has the common problems of Ralph Sampson, that is, the skeleton is not enough to hang too many muscles, and the strength of the lower body and waist is not good, and the explosion is not good.Especially explosive power, although he can jump so high, but the bullet speed is not enough, in the fiercely competitive NBA league, he can't give full play to his advantages.

Look at Jordan, that bullet speed is the key.

Moreover, the skeleton and the bottom plate are not good, which makes it a big trouble to be stuck in the top position. The NBA is not the NCAA. His problem that was not a problem before has suddenly become a fatal injury.But Tang Qian also sympathized with him very much. You said that he has lost water and is a million-year-old parallel importer, but you have to look at the actual situation.What is the actual situation, this guy is like the "super genius" Milicic back then. He joined the Memphis Grizzlies with a relatively strong lineup and a relatively stable lineup from the beginning. The Grizzlies already have Randolph and Marc Gasol inside , how can there be any time for him to fight monsters and upgrade?There are very few such people who can play in the past few years without much playing time. There are really not many.There are countless abolished ones. Since ancient times, this is almost an "iron law".

Take a look at how this guy played in his rookie season during his first three years, also known as the "golden time for leveling".

In the first year, there were 68 games with 13+ playing time, in the second year, 47 games, less than 8 minutes of playing time, and in the third year, 20 games, just an average of 7+ playing time per game.And within 3 years, he changed 3 teams.This kind of appearances and average time per game, if it is a super inside talent, it may be difficult to play.

Just adapting to the rhythm and intensity of the NBA is enough.

It is also particularly easy to damage the self-confidence and enthusiasm of a young genius.

In fact, in the first year of 13+ playing time, he can get 3.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks, but the biggest problem is poor foul control.However, the same sentence, if you don't give him enough time to practice, how can he learn?How to improve?How to improve?
In the first year alone, counting 36 minutes of data, it is about 8+10 data, with an average of more than 3.5 blocks per game! ! !Does this suck as a pure rookie?Of course, this statistic is an idealized statistic, but he definitely deserves the title of shot-blocker!The rebounding is not bad, and the shooting rate is close to 60%!And if you give him time to level up, maybe he can produce a qualitative change.But it's a pity that everything is nothing. This season is his last season, and he will completely fade out of the NBA after the game.

It's not unreasonable for Tang Qian to sympathize with him, the damn "leveling time", how many geniuses have been ruined by this.

So why does Barkley repeatedly emphasize that if he is still a rookie, he must want to join a weak team, and it is a weak team with no strong players in his main position?The reason is here.Apart from some other reasons, the most important factor is "leveling time".If you don't have enough time for leveling, the possibility of you being abolished is as high as 9%.Don't say anything that can be typed out, it's all bullshit!Basically, except for the paranoid, any super giant who sits on the bench for an average of 46 minutes per game every season, and then only has 2 to 3 minutes of playing time. After 3 years, he can still play at the peak level of the original space, which is more likely than winning the lottery. Small!

Not to mention the "rookie three years" period.

So many living examples prove that the polishing of technology, the speed of growth, and the change of mentality are all fatal enough.This is the elimination rate and cruelty of the NBA, the highest hall of basketball.

Tang Qian himself has a deep understanding of playing in the league now. If there is no "different space", he basically has no chance to make his debut in the first season, and it is difficult to say in the second season.Even now, there are not enough balls for him to practice and squander. He wants to go further in offense, and he wants to improve his ability to lead the team. It is all nonsense.And if you don't even guarantee the minimum playing time, what are you talking about?Just the stimulation and continuation of the state is a big problem.

As for improving?That is delusional!Thank you so much for trying not to retreat.

Now Thabeet has lost his energy, and he feels like he has dealt with it when he plays. Even the super basket protection ability that was most talked about back then has degraded to almost nothing.An average of 0.4 blocks per game, this is his current blocking state, completely lost the awe-inspiring arrogance of his college days.Right now, he may feel that he is a "big parallel importer", and he will be positioned as a "bamboo pole" mascot when he comes to any team.

He raised his head, just in time to meet the recently popular No. 29 of the Lakers. From the eyes of the other party, he did not see the usual sarcasm and ridicule, did not see the usual contempt and banter, but saw a faint sympathy.

Yes, it is sympathy and regret.

He had seen this kind of look on many scouts and coaches at first, but in recent years, it has long since disappeared.

I don't know why, this may be a bit of an annoying look to ordinary players, but to him...

He even felt a little respected.

If I could do it back then... well, forget it, this is my life, don't think about it.

If he replaced him, he would still be ravaged, even worse than the ravages suffered by Steven Adams just now. Thabeet is currently averaging 8 minutes of playing time per game and can only get 1+ rebounds.It can be seen that he has completely lost his belief and desire to play now.

I just want to finish the contract honestly, then quit the alliance and find another way.

"Tang got the rebound. He is in the inside of the Thunder. No one can stop him from grabbing the rebound!!!" With the words of the Lakers home gold medal commentator Bill McDonald, the Lakers took the lead and won Section one.

30-23, 7-point advantage, which is not unpleasant for the rhythm of positional warfare.

Of course, if you watch the game, you know that it's not fast at all, it's because the Lakers' shooting percentage is too high.

The Lakers' scoring in the last month has almost exceeded 100+, and even almost reached 105+.And judging from their offensive rhythm and offensive rounds, this is simply a miraculous scoring average!It is very difficult to increase the team's scoring average by every point.More than 105+, this is considered a team with super scoring ability in the 13-14 season, and the rest of the teams that can reach this number are all small ball and running style.The Los Angeles Lakers are the only exception.

It is also the only team in the entire NBA since the 90s that can use the offensive method of positional warfare to average more than 105 points per game per game.

ESPN and TNT, as well as some professional sports media, have begun to study this data, make image analysis tables, and then attempt to write some articles and comments from a professional perspective.But the real factors are two, one is that Kobe is stronger than ever, and the other is that Tang Qian is now a monster-level center that surpasses the peak O'Neal.

In short, the power of the "KQ combination" far exceeds that of the "OK combination".Just talking about this month, they may be the strongest inside and outside duo in NBA history, and there is no one.

This is why the Lakers can also score more than 105+ points in positional battles, and why they can still win streak now.

Right now, Tang Qian could easily suppress Hasim Thabeet, who was a head taller than him, and he was completely victorious in both offense and defense.

But the latter didn't have too many mood swings, as if he took all of this for granted.

In the past few years in the NBA, his self-confidence and competitive spirit have been completely wiped out. Whether he loses or wins, it doesn't mean much to him.He just came up to "dabble" and "make soy sauce".

Throughout the second half of the first quarter, Thabeet's total stats on the court was 1 block, and Wesley Johnson of the Lakers was a bit hot-headed, basically he took the initiative to send a stat.In addition, there is no entry, and there is no collection of particles.

After being yelled at by Thunder coach Scott Brooks with an angry face, Hasim Thabeet became even more depressed, and covered his head with a towel while sitting in his seat.

This battle of giants has come to an end before it even started.

And unlike before the beginning of the 21st century, today's audiences and fans are no longer keen on this kind of "giant hegemony". They prefer to watch outside players fly into the sky, break through and attack gorgeously.This is the development of modern basketball, but also the sorrow of the giants.

In the second quarter, the Thunder team mustered enough energy to overthrow the Lakers in one go. Westbrook + Caron Butler + Reggie Jackson + Ibaka + Jeremy Lamb formed the " "Typical" lineup of one big and four small.Moreover, the scoring ability and lineup impact are extremely terrifying, which immediately made the main insider Paul Gasol fall into the "foul quagmire".

Another 3 defensive fouls in a single quarter, plus 1 in the first quarter, received 4 fouls in less than halftime, and had to end early.

Obviously, Gasol has not fully adapted to the rhythm of the NBA game. He has recovered from this injury for too long, and his action response and judgment are not as good as before the injury.So it's miserable to be fouled by opponents all the time.

Mike D'Antoni scolded him with some displeasure. The former didn't really like Gasol, who had a weak personality and liked to complain. Besides, he didn't like the latter's athletic ability and mobility. Instead of "seven seconds or Less" tactical system does not match at all.Therefore, Gasol in the original space-time had a lot of conflicts with D'Antoni. He was pushed on the bench by the former for a while.

Now after his comeback, his game was not smooth and his statistics were greatly reduced. He didn't have the confidence to refute. He could only hang his head down and listen to Mike D'Antoni's scolding.

Tang Qian saw the Spaniard's problem, and Gasol couldn't treat him like this. During the downturn, he had better give priority to encouragement and supplement it with strictness, otherwise it would be easy to have the opposite effect.

"Paul, are you okay? It's just like this when you come back. You'll be fine after a while. Believe in yourself." Tang Qian said to Gasol's side, but the effect was negligible. The latter just nodded and then said nothing. up.

This, this is not easy!Without Gasol in the future, who will serve as the inside scoring point?

Tonight is the deadline for the silver score card, and I won't be able to score like this time in the future!

Just when Tang Qian was a little worried, the Thunder team was about to play a whirlwind. Even if Kobe suppressed Westbrook with all his strength, he couldn't stop the other 4 opponents.Including Ibaka, this season has bid farewell to the identity of a pure blue-collar, averaging 15+ points per game, which can already be used as a relatively stable scoring point.

In the second quarter again, the Lakers were scored 44 points by their opponents, but they only scored 18 points.

Kobe showed a bit of a downturn. All his shots in the second quarter were shot down.

This has never happened before.

Westbrook himself was also in good shape, scoring 2 goals in a row under Kobe's defense. Tang Qian noticed that the former should have entered "The.Zone".Kobe hit five?And still the Thunder?The fate can be imagined.

The Lakers only scored 48 points in the half, which is why they scored 30 points in the first quarter. What about the Thunder?They scored a total of 67 points in the half, and they only scored 23 points in the first quarter.Lost by nearly 20 points at once!Why isn't Kobe annoyed?So as soon as he returned to the locker room of Staples, the Black Mamba was furious: "Whoever doesn't want to fight later, then take the initiative to get out! The Los Angeles Lakers don't welcome softies!!!"

As soon as these words came out, they were not originally directed at Gasol, but because Kobe was standing closest to Gasol, the Spaniard's complexion suddenly turned green and white.

There's an element of insecurity about the Lakers that's starting to take hold.
