Chapter 979 Double kill the rocket, step on the monster again

"Xiao Qian, are you okay over there? I see that the Internet is treating you..."

"It's okay, Mom. Netizens are generally not very calm. After this period of time, it will be fine when we win." Tang Qian is not the "Xiaomengxin" who just came to the United States back then. He is now It is very clear what should be done to calm down and reverse the team's decline.Besides, the country is still polite to me now, if Tang's mother saw the online reports from the United States, she would probably be even more angry and worried.

"Then you have to win the game quickly. Your dad said that you are now the number one on the team. Your status in the team is different from before, so the pressure and attention will also increase exponentially. Xiaoqian Ah, anyway, you have earned so much money, if you really can't do it, just stop fighting, and you can live a good life when you come back." Uh, this mother, if you really care about it, you will be confused. I have signed a contract. If you don't fight Neither will work.Besides, what is this downturn?This can't stand it, why do you still play in the NBA, and what kind of team leader do you still want to be?

"Don't worry, Mom~ I will take care of these things. You and Dad have to take care of yourself in China~ Buy yourself more good things to eat and clothes. Don't keep looking at that flower shop if you have nothing to do. Go out and report A group tour or something." Tang Qian said here, and Tang's mother came and complained: "Xiao Qian, you don't know, your dad is always telling me to hire a few more people to see store, and then he can go out and be chic everywhere by himself! Tell me what this old man thinks! What’s the point of not caring about your own store? At the root of his thinking, he corrected his thought of liking leisure and loathing work..."

After a phone call with his family, Tang Qian felt much better. Although most of them were Tang's mother's "broken thoughts", Tang Qian, who was in the United States, did not feel upset at all.

Hmph, the four major media?Master will remember your faces!Wait!The young master will make you feel comfortable!

In the 12th game of the Lakers regular season, the opponent finally let the Lakers breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the name of this team is called, the Houston Rockets.

The Lakers have never lost against the Rockets recently. Whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, they are all winners.In this game, ESPN started advocating the "modern combination" of Howard and James Harden again. Now it is getting better and better, and it will not affect Tang Qian's state in any way.

Not at all.

Because, Howard, the monster, is on their team.

Let's vent all the depression during this time, who told you to have Howard, who told you to be unlucky?
Because it was broadcast live across the United States, Tang Qian was very decisive, and answered reporters' questions before the game:

I don't care what they say because they only have one mouth, but I can shut them up.

At this moment, many reporters were "joyed". It seems that our Dongfang Hot has no intention of bowing to ESPN at all. Who was the last player with such a distinctive personality?It is the No. 24 Kobe Bryant of the Lakers who has already retired.

TNT once said that Kobe is the last "super giant" of this era.

Because the rest of the people are good babies, only the 24th speaks, he doesn't think about the consequences so much, and he follows his heart more.

I thought that Kobe had retired, and without the umbrella, the Lakers' No. 29 would also be restrained, but I didn't know that the situation was not like this at all.This No. 29, he seems to be more straightforward than last season. This is completely inherited from Kobe's "character superstar".

Many media are actually secretly laughing, because besides the four major media, there are many media that want to gain a foothold in the sports circle and become a new "authority".However, although these four media also have internal conflicts, once they encounter external pressure, they will immediately hold together to keep warm, temporarily monolithic, and will not share the profit.

TNT has long chosen to side with Tang Qian, and it is even more so now. Kate Marin has almost become the team reporter for the Lakers, and he will basically be present whenever there are Lakers games.Tang Qian is still very impressed with this person with "intelligent eyes", so Tang Qian will try his best to answer the questions he asks patiently.

As for ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc., Tang Qian is now in the cold air and out, and he doesn't have a good face to show them.This made the four media secretly angry, determined to continue to "smear" Tang Qian, and must make Tang Qian obediently bow his head to them and admit his mistake.

This time it was carried on, but it is a pity that Tang Qian was not an American in the first place, and he has no intention of staying here in the future, so these media's so-called "killing his commercial value" is purely non-threatening nonsense.Because taking a step back, the country has now given him the green light. As long as he thinks, domestic advertisements and endorsements are much more than enough, and he is not the kind of person who spends money like water.In this way, if you care about ESPN, Sports Illustrated and CBS, Tang Qian doesn't care at all.

He just wants to play well, and the rest, just be himself.

There is no need to be friendly with these media that look down on you.

For the Lakers, Howard and Harden really want revenge. The two also high-fived at the beginning, trying to cooperate sincerely tonight.

But this is just a beautiful fantasy of two people.

The Lakers' game, at the beginning, well, mainly because Tang Qian entered the "excitement mode" from the beginning.

He scored 12 points with shots and penalties in the first quarter, and the Lakers only scored a total of 25 points in the first quarter.

The Rockets didn't expect that Tang Qian would attack and break the game from the very beginning of the Lakers. Their pre-game defensive arrangement was still aimed at the Lakers' overall small ball and running and bombing.Therefore, at the beginning, there was a small somersault.The key is that they played a mess on the offensive end.

Tang Qian was in great form tonight. Howard was directly blocked by him in the first quarter and defended a 5-of-0 shot. This made Harden's face change with anger. In the second quarter, taking advantage of Tang Qian's absence, he attacked frantically and hit porcelain frantically. Scored 15 points in a single quarter!McHale couldn't help exaggerating when he saw this, and Harden also felt better.However, all this changed after the Lakers replayed on the 29th.

In the words of Barkley in the TNT live broadcast room, Tang Qian's game is a venting style of play.

As soon as Harden came in, even if Tang Qian was fouled, he would slap him hard, or slap Harden's hand hard.In short, if he wanted to send out a signal, if he wanted to get into the basket of the Lakers, and if he wanted to score points in front of my tyrant Tang, he had to pay the price!

In the second half, the Lakers resumed their run-and-bomb tactics and began to attack from a long distance as a whole, but the Rockets also withstood this period, and their three-pointers continued to respond.Both sides scored nearly 40 points in a single quarter!This is where the small ball plays well, focusing on offense and light defense. The game scene is very lively, and the ball is constantly rubbing against the baskets and nets of both sides.

But in the fourth quarter, the Lakers restarted the isolation tactics of inside defense. Tang Qian lured Howard to attack, but he missed consecutive shots. It seems that Howard will have difficulty getting 5-6 points tonight.Tang Qian's state throughout the night was getting better and better, which made "Warcraft" almost out of breath.

One state is good and the other is declining, one ebbs and another, Tang Qian not only completely suppressed the Houston Rockets not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end and rebounding end.Harden tried to stand up again to be the savior, but his long-range shooting has weakened a lot in this quarter. Jimmy Butler's defense is not so easy to break.In any case, he is also a player who has been selected to the defensive team consecutively during this period. This represents one point. Butler is among the best in the league's perimeter defensive ability.At least Ariza, who is also a defensive champion, is not as good as him, whether it is single defense, cooperative defense, or defensive IQ and awareness, they are far behind.

So D'Antoni naturally arranged for Jimmy Butler to defend the Rockets' outside arrow James Harden.

Harden's speed and explosive power are not strong in the first place, and his long-range shot is not the top shot of Joe Comey's style, so after being marked very tightly, his shooting space is not so much, and his shooting rate drops to [-]%. inevitable.However, Harden has also grown a lot this season. After seeing that his shooting was restricted, he immediately adopted the method of attracting shots and then breaking through the defense.Not to mention, this set really worked.Because the pressure was too tight, Harden was given a more convenient opportunity to break through the past.

After Harden changed from a shooting fake to a breakthrough, he stuck Jimmy Butler with a little push of his shoulders and successfully broke through.Butler wanted to chase, but it was too late. Harden went to the basket of the Lakers' restricted area.

Howard is really terrible, every time he is scalded by the Lakers' Dongfang to restrain him to death!It's useless!

For this ball, let's see my performance!
Harden thought so, but after bumping into No. 29 of the Lakers, he suffered a "spicy hot pot" from the latter.

"Howard can't do it, do you think you can do it?" Tang Qian dropped a sentence after landing: "You are the same."

"No."

After that, he ran forward quickly and joined the Lakers' new round of offense.

Howard single-handedly defended against Tang Qian, but the latter broke through directly, and then made a fake move, and dunked into the basket with one hand.

The action of this dunk is actually very ordinary, but it looks very interesting, because it was a hard dunk in the confrontation with Howard.The overall feeling of confrontation is very good-looking and very exciting.

But because it was the home court of the Rockets, the referee spared Howard's life and did not whistle a 2+1.

"Good luck, Warcraft, you managed to save me another point, keep up the good work."

When Howard heard this, his nose was about to burst into flames, but so what?Now Harden has full control of the ball, and this is not the Orlando of the past, so he will not have the ball in his hands every time he wants the ball.In fact, starting from this season, his role in the team will gradually weaken, and the decrease in the number of shots is a signal.

McHale will completely start to support Harden, instead of the "modern dual-core" parallelism promised earlier.

Blue collar?This kind of thing, at least for now Howard, can't accept it.

So the conflicts between him and Harden and McHale gradually became bigger and bigger, and it became more and more difficult to reconcile.

Harden went inside, but the throw was interfered by Tang Qian, and Bosh jumped up to protect the rebound.

In addition to Howard, the Rockets' insider is Tarek Black, who averages 4+5 per game, and there is a Lithuanian center, 24 years old, named Donatas Motiejunas.But their abilities are not strong, they are at the level of ordinary bench players.In addition, they are all thin and tall, and they can't stop the No. 29 Lakers who are in great shape.

They were also considered unlucky to have encountered such an insider overlord who "explodes every beast".

Tang Qian's insiders of the Rockets were overwhelmed and had a great time killing, and these inside players of the Rockets were almost crying. They really didn't understand why this Eastern center was so energetic when he beat the Rockets?What about the status?

Originally, Tang Qian was not weak now, and he was still in an explosive state. This made the Rockets' inside line almost fall apart.

They didn't have a strong inside background this season, and it was Howard who stood up to it. Now Howard can't protect himself, and the thickness of the inside line is not enough, which has been magnified all of a sudden.

Tang Qian caught the ball and flew into the sky. Facing Tarek Blake, who was about to come over and block the shot, he showed no mercy at all. He raised his right hand high, and with a split dunk, Tarek Bryan was separated. Respond into the basket.

If Yu Jia had broadcast the ball live, he would have shouted loudly: Good shot!See the tyrant Tang not afraid of the road ahead, staged a powerful split on Huashan!

"You are very courageous, keep it up, and you will have a place in the league." Tang Qian actually has a certain natural affection for this kind of player who does not back down and has a tough defensive mentality. In addition, he himself is not a draft pick. Players join the league, so to Tarek Black said: "I am also a person who came out of the Development League, don't underestimate yourself."

This guy, in fact... is not as bad-tempered as people rumored, he just yells regardless of 21.

The Rockets Harden still wanted to struggle, and wanted to lead the team to a wave of Jedi counterattacks, but after another layup was slapped by Tang Qian's hat, his heart fluctuated, and he didn't step into the Lakers for most of the next quarter. In the team's paint area.

Flying a kite like this, the hit rate can't be high, and Howard's rebounds were also suppressed by Tang Qian. The Houston Rockets finally lost the game 81-119 with a big score of 18 points.Tang Qian scored a season-high 40 points in the game, and also scored 26 rebounds, plus 9 blocks. He almost got a block triple-double tonight.

Comparing Howard's 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, it is too miserable, and there is no way to compare it with Tang Qian.

Once again, Howard was defeated by Tang Qian again, and was washed away with blood again.

Howard's eyes staring at Tang Qian turned red at the end of the game, but if he lost, he lost, and there was nothing he could do.

As for hands?Solve it by force?That's something he can never do in his life.

In the past with the Lakers, he was often forcibly taught by the Eastern center. This kind of memory reminds Dwight Howard all the time that he has been punished many times.Whether he tried his best or not, the result was the same.So to be rough, Howard is not so stupid, or this courage.

Harden scored 27 points in this game, but it was still a drop in the bucket. He couldn't save the Houston Rockets.

The Lakers are currently double-killing the Houston Rockets.

And Tang Qian also said at the press conference after the game: "40 points, 26 rebounds and 9 blocks, I think my number should still be worthy of my 31st ranking in the league, right? You said next week's MVP list Will I enter the top ten again? Leave a name." Tang Qian looked at the ESPN reporter with a look of foolishness and said, "Is there any need to say this?"

"This is necessary."

"Where is the number one insider in the league that isn't in the top ten of the MVP list?"

"No, no, no, I'm not joking, I promise I'm serious, as serious as a fat man saw the donut."

After the end of consecutive road trips, Tang Qian and the Lakers finally returned home and returned to Los Angeles.And here, someone has been waiting for him for a long time.
