Chapter 823 Won the first game

Howard fell into the same situation as Harden before. He competed with his opponent, that is, Tang Qian.

But the shooting rate is pitifully low, currently 6 of 1 shots, the only shot, still a little bit of shit luck, slipped into the basket.

"Okay, okay, you can score a goal, and you can improve a lot! It seems that I have to improve my inner evaluation of the opponent." Tang Qian said jokingly, he was deliberately teasing Howard, because the latter attacked The more and more fierce the game, the greater the Lakers' chances of winning.As for defense?Tang Qian really wanted to look up to the sky and scream:
Young master, I can't defend against anyone, but I can defend "Warcraft" Howard!
This is "destiny"! ! !

Imperial Sports Station.

"This is really amazing. It seems that Tang Qian's state has picked up tonight. Howard's previous good state was suppressed by him. This is not easy. How strong Howard was when Gasol faced him just now. The contrast is too great." After Meteor Shower finished speaking, Zhang Weiping said: "It's not that Tang Qian has recovered, but it's a matter of tactics and style of play. Tang Qian's bad statistics in the last round are just tactics that require tactical arrangements. Facing Dirk Nowitzki in the later game, the statistics were completely blown up. It is far less effective to use Tang Qian, who has excellent athletic ability and agility, to replace him. D'Antoni's tactics are very decent, and Tang Qian is also very sacrificing. , because the center leaves the basket and leaves the penalty area, it is tantamount to abolishing martial arts, and the data decline is certain. But he also agreed, and the entire series has followed Nowitzki closely. This is something that few players in the league now have. .”

"That is, it seems that our Chinese players still have a high-quality spirit." Meteor Rain said.

"However, in the United States, it is not a good thing to be like this all the time. Tang Qian's performance in the last round suffered a lot of criticism. In this round, he needs to perform well in order to return to the basket." Zhang Weiping said: "So beating ESPN The candidate for the league's No. [-] center forward is an opportunity to prove himself. If Tang Qian can catch it... that's really good, really good! Another block! Tang Qian can be regarded as an opener tonight!"

Staples Center.

"Tang's performance tonight was impeccable. Dwight Howard, the Rockets' breakout leader in the last round, was actually defended against a 7-of-1 shot. I think the defensive deterrence of this restricted area is comparable to the four major centers back then. !” After Bill McDonald finished speaking, Sturantz beside him also said: “Look at Howard’s stats in the previous round, and the stats against Gasol before, they are all very dominant, but that’s how we can It reflects the strength of Tang's defense! As I said earlier, the group of ESPN people is Wannianhuhei, why Tang is one of the most watered DPOYs? It's completely nonsense!!! As long as No. 29 returns to the basket, he will be One of the dominant defenders at the position!"

Howard was really blocked and turned around, and his state also fell out. He made 7 of 1 shots. This offensive efficiency is simply horrible!

Why is it that I clearly feel that I am in a good state, but I can't beat this Oriental guy! ! ! ! ! ! !
Why? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Just when Howard fell into self-torture, the Lakers once again scored a three-pointer. Nick Young raised his hand and scored. With Nash, his three-point ability was fully opened at once!
After making an "OK gesture", Nick Young bounced back to the backcourt. Now he likes the Lakers more and more, and he is more and more integrated into the Lakers team.And the biggest credit for this is not Kobe, but Nash.

As long as Nash has full control of the ball, he can turn decay into magic, not to mention that the Lakers still have a super perimeter killer this season.If he really can't figure it out, he can also solve the problem by fighting alone.

Alas, if there had been a one-man king like him in Phoenix back then, then at the critical moment, he wouldn't have missed the Spurs and made it to the finals.The stronger the team, the more it can reflect the power of individual weapons.

Don't need any tactics, don't need any pick-and-roll, don't need any cooperation, just go it alone!This is simply a winning gem in the highly competitive playoffs.

For example, Kobe, Durant, and Irving in the future are all such people.

They are the best magic weapon to break the game when the tactics cannot be opened and the cooperation is not working well.

Therefore, Nash now is actually far more relaxed than in the Suns, and the burden on his shoulders is lighter.

This kind of mentality also makes his performance a bit beyond the norm for this age group.

After Howard missed a low hook again, Kobe made a fast break, and the Rockets finally couldn't hold back and requested a timeout.

After a while, McHale changed his previous reliance and kindness, and said to Dwight Howard, who was still a little confused: "Dwight, tell me what are you doing??? What are you playing??? 8 shots 1??? Could it be that you can’t beat that Eastern center??? Can’t you beat the ball and still know how to pass the ball???”

This is actually McHale's own lack of coaching ability, why?First of all, Howard missed consecutive shots, and he had to hold on forcibly, pretending to believe the former.Yes, many famous coaches play like this, but they basically don't play off.If you, McHale, have this ability, how can you be confused like this?Secondly, if you can't play well, you will curse and scold, isn't this a disguised blow to the prestige and self-confidence of the core players?

What's more, he just hit Harden and then hit Howard. It's no wonder that the Rockets can go far in the future.

You thought everyone was Jordan and Kobe?Can this stimulation be eaten as an "energy pack"?So as to complete the gorgeous transformation of the arena?If you think too much, even Zhan Huang is not in this situation.

The non-paranoid can't play like that.

That's why Kobe and Jordan have such outstanding mental states in NBA history, and they are so repeatedly mentioned.

Then, McHale made another worse tactical decision. He turned his head and said kindly to Harden: "James, now is the time when the team needs you. Are you ready? This is the team The boss must have obligations and responsibilities."

Harden: ...

The Rockets basically couldn't turn the game around, and the overall momentum was suppressed. Not to mention, Harden took charge of the offense again after being cold for a while, and his rhythm has not yet fully recovered.so……

Under Kobe's defense, he hit the iron continuously, missed shots consecutively, and his mentality was similar to Howard's, and he was close to collapse.

As for the Lakers, all the way forward, all the way, after three quarters, they reached 79 points. What about the Rockets?With only 60 points, they fell behind by 19 points all of a sudden.If it weren't for tonight, the Rockets' Chandler Parsons and Jeremy Lin both felt good three-pointers, and the Rockets wouldn't even be able to make it through the fourth quarter.

What about the Los Angeles Lakers?On the contrary, they haven't exerted their full strength yet, and they almost defeated their opponents in the regular season.

This is not surprising. The "Magic Combination" that the team relies on the most is pinched by both Kobe and Tang Qian. How can this be played?
Do you really think that every team's team is San Antonio?
Without Harden and Howard playing, the Rockets will lose a lot of points on the offensive end. If they want to rely on Parsons, Jeremy Lin, Beverly, or Terrence Jones to win, It's basically a joke.Because this Rockets team is playing superstar basketball. Since it is superstar basketball, what is it called without superstars?
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Rockets still wanted to resist and counterattack, but...

"Tan gave Harden a big hat. Do you want to touch porcelain? Do you want to flop? Sorry, our tyrant will not accept your trick!"

"Hot defended Terrence's shot and Gasol got the rebound."

"Pau Gasol offensive hook, Yes! Terrence Jones can't guard the Spaniard at all! His height and 'too short'!"

"The Lakers replaced Kobe with Nick Young. Nick Young scored a three-pointer as soon as he came up. He has now become the best sixth man of the Lakers. He can score without a buffer as soon as he comes up. !"

"McHale actually replaced Omer Asik. Did he want to form the same inside twin towers as Howard to contain our inside? But...a good shot!!! Hot received Steve's alley-oop!! !alley-oop!!!"

"Harden..."

After about 5 to 6 minutes, but the score difference widened to 25 points, Kevin McHale reluctantly removed Howard and James Harden, and replaced them with a group of substitutes to use up the garbage time.

When he left the court, Harden's face turned dark because he clearly heard a Lakers fan shouting loudly from the sidelines in the front row:

"Hi~ You can't do it~ You are far behind Kobe~ You go home, number one!!!"

Howard?His face was even darker, because not only a few fans were scolding him, but most of the Staples fans were mocking him:

"Thank you for leaving! The first dog. Mr. Shit Center! We are stronger without you!!!"

"The four heavenly kings are completely different if only one person is changed. Guess who else has changed? Huo Zhongzhong???"

"Cream Monster! Let's go play basketball in Space City!!!"

"Our Lakers only need men! No boys!!! Houston's milk is better, right???"

No way, Howard gave the Lakers a "big bang" at the beginning, and the plot was far worse than the original time and space, and he dragged it to the end before leaving.This made the Lakers' signings completely lost opportunity and time.Some important role players who should have joined the Lakers all joined other teams, causing the Lakers fans to almost collapse at the beginning of the season.

Fortunately, fortunately, on the 24th, he returned to his peak. Fortunately, fortunately, Tang Qian used various methods to help the Lakers drag Gasol and Nash back.Otherwise... This team is basically in the West and cannot make it to the playoffs.

Along the way, there are many people who doubt, who have broken cans, who have nowhere to vent.

Therefore, Lakers fans hate "Warcraft" and Dwight Howard far more than the original time and space.

Just when this round of the series was confirmed to have just started, Howard even received something similar to a "threatening letter" in his hotel room.This shows how strong the resentment and resentment of the Lakers fans towards him is.

Don't think it's an exaggeration. In fact, if you search the Internet casually, it is not uncommon for NBA players to receive "threatening letters". This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time for Howard.

Drop~
With the Lakers Ryan Kelly throwing the last ball, the game ended.

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Houston Rockets 121-100 with 21 points to get off to a good start in Game [-] of the series.

Kobe scored 32 points, Nash had 13 assists, Gasol had 16 points, 9 rebounds, 1 block and 3 assists, Tang Qian had 18 points, 17 rebounds, 6 blocks and 2 assists.This is the data of the four kings of the Lakers, all of whom have performed very well.If the Rockets hadn't surrendered too early, the data of the four of them should have been better.

However, this is also good, easy to clean up, easy to solve problems.

For the Rockets, Harden scored 20 points, but it took 19 shots to get it, and a large part of it was "swiped" after Kobe was off the court.No matter how you look at his stats tonight, if you look at them horizontally or vertically, they are all far behind the 24th.Howard?He was a little bit better. Without Tang Qian in front, he scored a lot of points, and that wave was the last wave.He scored 19 points on 25 shots and scored 8 rebounds and 3 blocked shots.

However, during the matchup with Tang Qian, the hit rate was ridiculously low.

In the future, someone will make special statistics.

In the postgame press conference, Bryant responded to reporters' questions:
Lakers' season goals?No, no, Houston is just a passing stop, and the final stop we are going to is the finals!
James Harden?He is not bad, maybe he can play the first position in the league in the future, right?oh?You say he is now?It should be that the ESPN website was infected with a virus at the time.

Tang Qian was also the target of the siege, especially after the domestic ban gradually began to be lifted, there were obviously more black-haired reporters, not much worse than Kobe's side, with long guns and short guns, wantonly bombarded:
oh?Howard?He is not bad, as a third-team player, this is already very good, isn't it?I think he has performed super-level and deserves encouragement!

How do I see my current position?Let me tell you an answer. I am a first-team + DPOY winner this season. Is the answer enough?
The Lakers won their first win, and Los Angeles won the first game.
