Chapter 420: Tactical Zhang burst complete~(1/2)
"West, are you still waiting for the pick-and-roll in such a high position? Let me tell you, your move is useless. We have seen through it completely." Walter Frazier, who thought he had found a way to block it, stood.
In the high post, he was facing the dribbling Lakers No. 44. But West was not in a hurry, because he was still waiting for someone, waiting for "Tang Qian" to come up and pick and roll.
"Sure enough, it's the same old thing, Jerry West, you're finished!" Just after the Knicks made a substitution, Walter Frazier only felt a "hurricane" passing through him. And
The person running past him was not No. 13 of the Lakers, so who was it?
What was he planning to do when he ran in so anxiously? Was he planning to attack?
Not only Walter Frazier thought this way, but also the head coach of the Knicks, so he immediately stood on the sidelines and shouted instructions: "Pay attention to Chamberlain, pay attention to guard Chamberlain!"
But everyone in the Knicks knows that as long as Chamberlain is not allowed to catch the ball in the penalty area, he is a toothless tiger and is not too dangerous. Although Willis Reed is missing from the team, he is good at
The "iron-blooded defense" Knicks still have many ways to deal with the Lakers' No. 13 "giant tower". For example, the simplest answer is that when there is really no other way, just take a ruthless move and bring down the "cruel" No. 13.
However, sending him to the free throw line is actually a victory in disguise.
Because everyone in the United States knows that at the free throw line, Wilt Chamberlain's offensive power is last in the league and at the bottom of the league.
But would "Tang Qian" not know the other party's plan? He is also the "authentic descendant of Chamberlain" after all.
Yes, my current scoring ability is not as good as that of 35-year-old Chamberlain, my defensive ability is not as good as that of 35-year-old Chamberlain, and even my rebounding ability is much inferior to that of 35-year-old Wilt Chamberlain. But there is one thing...I am better than him at 35 years old,
Be strong!
That's... my young body and amazing physical fitness!
Just saying this, I must be stronger than Wilt Chamberlain now!
There is no problem with Tang Qian, because Chamberlain suffered severe injuries to both knees in the 1969-1970 season. After the overhaul, he has lost the superhuman athletic ability that he was proud of in the past. But even so, he can still perform this season, specifically in 1972
On January 9, 2011, MVP winner Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was repeatedly slapped away. The most famous video of "The Marshal's double-hatted Skyhook" came from this game.
Therefore, the decline in physical fitness is compared to Chamberlain himself. It is still very scary for other league centers. However, Tang Qian is still confident that he can surpass the 35-year-old Wei in terms of physical fitness.
Walter Chamberlain.
Basketball fans in this era must rarely see wonderful "alley-oop" shots. Tonight... you are in for a treat.
"Jerry used Wilt's pick-and-roll to rush into the Knicks' inside. But this time the Knicks changed defense in a timely manner. Lucas followed Jerry closely. This ball may not be good, because in
In terms of height comparison, there is a huge gap between the two." On-site commentator Chick Hearn is also an absolute "old fan", so when he saw that West did not get rid of Lucas' defense, he was very worried.
If he really forced a breakthrough for a layup, Jerry West felt that his success rate would not be too high, because Lucas followed very closely, and his height and weight were much higher than his own. Good idea. So, he glanced slightly, estimated the position of Lakers No. 13, and then threw the ball with one hand.
"This, Jerry's shot deflected too much. I even wondered if the ball was too slippery, so he let it go...what? What is this??? Wilt, Wilt took off???oh~ God Ah~ He jumped so high~" Along with Chick Hearn's commentary, "Tang Qian" jumped high, and flew into the sky without any interference at all.
Then he held the ball in the sky with both hands... and hit the basket hard!
Bang!!!
The Knicks' basket let out a miserable wail.
"Goal, goal!!! This is a slam dunk!!! Ladies and gentlemen, this is an imaginative dunk!!!" Chick Hearn reacted immediately, and then He spoke loudly into the commentary microphone in front of him.
The whole audience cheered and applauded constantly.
We can’t blame the audience at the Great Western Forum Arena for being “rare and strange”. It’s just that in the early 1970s, such alley-oops, full of beauty and power, were almost completely extinct. Because the level of basketball has not yet developed to the level of the future. So suddenly Upon seeing it, the whole audience cheered loudly.
Including the Knicks players, they were all shocked by the "Tang Qian" ball, because this kind of ball really refreshed their senses.
"Wilt, you, you are so amazing!!!" The passer Jerry West was a little stunned, because the visual impact of that moment was extremely amazing.
"Tonight, we must win, we will definitely win, right, Jerry." "Tang Qian" smiled and said.
"Of course!" As if being aroused by the ball "Tang Qian", Jerry West couldn't help but raise his voice.
The next game became the so-called "show time". "Tang Qian" made all kinds of violent alley-oops, which almost destroyed the morale of the entire Knicks team. Therefore, the Lakers won the victory without any danger. Won the first game of the finals.
Tang Qian scored 24 points, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 assists, and was elected the best player of the game.
But the buzzer of the end of the game had just sounded, and Lakers No. 13 almost sat down on the ground. Why, because he was too tired. If he hadn't tried his best to "alley-oop dunk" in the end, he might not have finished the game at all. It can't be sustained.
After the official reporter's interview, the Lakers returned to the locker room, cheering and excited.
Finally, finally won?
T.N.N.D~ Is it so difficult~ I almost lost half of my life~
There are still 3 games left, try to win them all in one go!
After the game, the Los Angeles media praised Bill Sharman's "new tactics" and said he was worthy of being a "new generation of talented coach". Bill Sharman also responded "humbly", saying that this was a "collective "Strength". Regarding this, Tang Qian didn't bother to stand up and explain, because his goal was to "complete the mission" and "go home", and the rest had little to do with him.
Besides, if you give Bill Salman some face, he will "like" and "trust" you even more, right?
This may also be an implicit help in "completing the task".
But soon, the NBA held an emergency "secret meeting" for this game. The then president, no, J. Walter Kennedy, who was still called the NBA president in this era, made the decision after several hours of deliberation.
Strengthen the attack on "alley-oops" and "the pass cannot be higher than the backboard". Then it even hints to the "referees" to strengthen the control and control of the Lakers' No. 13.
This disguised attack is the "epitome of stupidity" of the second NBA president.
This man named J. Walter Kennedy took over from the first chairman Maurice Pudolov in 1963. Then, under his leadership, the NBA league was in a quagmire, and there was no big deal.
Development, is there any innovation and progress? In fact, the period from 1963 to 1975 can be called the dark age of the NBA. Porn, gambling, and drugs were rampant, and there was no tendency to suppress them. In addition, he frequently
Making wrong "policy" instructions has made the development of the NBA become deformed and strange.
Not to mention comparing with the fourth legendary president David Stern, even his next president, Larry O'Brien, has made more contributions and played a greater role than him. "No lobs" and "No passes"
"The ball was higher than the backboard" were all masterpieces made under his tenure. Moreover, this person also had a famous example of being "slapped in the face", which was the most famous "Connie Hawkins Incident" in the 1960s.
In this incident, J. Walter Kennedy’s short-sightedness was worse than that of the famous retired NBA star George Mikan. In the end, the ABA led by George Mikan successfully won Connie Hawkins. But the NBA league’s “banning order”
" still made Connie Hawkins very worried, so he began to file legal complaints against the NBA's "banning order" in 1966. That was enough, because this kind of thing was not uncommon at the time.
But the problem is that in the end, Connie Hawkins was allowed to successfully litigate the lawsuit. In this way, NBA Chairman J. Walter Kennedy was disgraced, because he personally presided over and issued the "blocking order", so in the end
The verdict was that he was required to pay $1.295 million in compensation to Connie Hawkins.
You want to know how much the NBA's maximum salary was in that era? It was about 100,000 US dollars! The winners were Jerry West and Elgin Baylor, Chamberlain and Bill Russell. But if you calculate it through price conversion, that
In the 1960s, 100,000 US dollars was roughly equivalent to about 15 million to 20 million US dollars today, so it can be regarded as an absolute "rich family". When was this maximum salary broken? It was the start of the 1968-1969 season.
In the early days, the breaker was the famous "Wilt Chamberlain". At that time, he joined the Los Angeles Lakers for a sky-high price of US$250,000 a year and a five-year contract extension. It is worth mentioning that this was also the first time in NBA history that he joined the Los Angeles Lakers.
The first contract worth over one million US dollars.
So with this comparison, you can see how much Connie Hawkins earned and how much our NBA president lost.
What is even more tragic is that the NBA will be forced to cancel the "blocking order" on Connie Hawkins and allow him to join the 1969-1970 NBA season next season. This means that Connie Hawkins will suddenly
He received a "super contract" at the same level as top superstar Wilt Chamberlain. No wonder when he joined the NBA, he was interviewed by sports reporter Ron Rapoport. Connie Hawkins behaved extremely generously, as if
He doesn't care at all about the unfair treatment of being "banned from the NBA for nearly 10 years".
Hey, what if you try without the $1.295 million compensation? Will Connie Hawkins still be so generous and generous during the interview, regardless of past grudges? Because he himself also knows that he really wants to be in the NBA
If you play inside, you will never get a "salary" at this price. After all, compared to the famous "Big Dipper" Wilt Chamberlain, he is still far behind. So because of this matter, the NBA league
Chairman J. Walter Kennedy's reputation plummeted, which was really the American version of "losing his wife and losing his army".
Now, he starts doing stupid things again.
This decision is also one of the most "criticized" stupid decisions in this parallel dimension.
But J. Walter Kennedy doesn’t know it yet, he is still feeling proud of his “wise leadership”.
When Tang Qian received this news before the second game, he was so angry that his face almost turned green, and he cursed silently in his heart:
Damn J. Walter Kennedy! Damn "different space"! You are so inhumane and don't give you any way to survive!
Although Tang Qian "complained" like this, "different space" actually gave him certain "benefits". For example, after winning the last game and winning the best player in the game, the latter rewarded the former with a reward.
A golden ability card fragment. By combining the remaining two fragments into one, Tang Qian immediately obtained an "awesome" golden rebound card.
The card ability is also very simple and crude. You can get 55 rebounds in a single game, which does not overlap with the rebound data before and after.
This... this is simply a "machine gun", no, it's a "cruise missile".
55 rebounds in a single game, which is also the highest rebound record of "Dashuai Zhang" in a single game.
You must know that this abnormal record was obtained from the same "mythical beast" Bill Russell, and its gold content can be imagined. So as soon as he saw this introduction, Tang Qian immediately thought of the source of this ability card. After all,
55 rebounds in a single game is as crazy as scoring 100 points in a single game. You can completely record it with just one glance.
After seeing this golden ability card, Tang Qian's "grievance" calmed down a little. It seemed that the "different space" still gave him some "way to survive" and did not seriously "kill everyone".
But even so, the remaining games are not easy to play.
Because the most important thing about "strange moves" is "strange", the first effect is the best. Once the opponent starts to prepare and target, the effect will be greatly reduced. So in these two days of training
, Tang Qian was meticulous and did not dare to be careless or lax at all.
When other Lakers players saw this, they also nodded, because "Wilt Chamberlain" who trains so hard is definitely extremely rare. Even No. 13 has started to take it seriously, so what reason do the others have to be lazy?
Is there any reason not to work hard?
A positive training atmosphere has gradually spread among the Los Angeles Lakers.
But even so, the Lakers were "blocked" in the second game. The main reason was that the team resumed the "super defensive counterattack" style of the regular season. Coupled with the Knicks' substitutes,
Phil Jackson stepped up and scored 18 points and 11 rebounds as a substitute, shooting over 80% from the field, perfectly replacing the Knicks' Willis Reed's absence.
To be continued...
