Chapter 708 Who is the emperor under the basket?(1/2)
"What on earth is that Oriental guy doing? Is he... is he beating up his teammates?" Wade was stunned for a while, then turned to LeBron James and asked. "...I don't know.
"James forced himself to calm down. Although he couldn't see it on the surface, he was feeling the same turmoil in his heart.
This guy... is not a new era player, he plays "old school basketball"!
Inherit the spirit of "old school basketball"!
What is the spirit of "old-school basketball"? Within team relationships, it means absolute authority, absolute suppression, and absolute prestige. It is completely opposite to the spirit of modern "new basketball". For example, when treating teammates, they do not pay attention to harmony and harmony.
, but most of them deal with it in a way that is "pleasing to the eyes" and "pleasing to the heart". Of course, generally speaking, those who can become the boss in the NBA are top-notch existences. There is no need to think about whether they will be a mess and whether they will be strict or not.
effort.
Such a person, firstly, cannot become the boss, and secondly, once he does, he will be replaced soon and become a stepping stone for others.
Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, Russell, Garnett, O'Neal, Ewing, Malone, Olajuwon, Payton, etc., are all such people. If you carefully observe their news and
From the gossip, you will find that it is not uncommon to teach newcomers and teammates a lesson. Even Tim Duncan, who seems to be an "honest and good person", has had several quarrels with the team, and one of the targets also
There was Tony Parker. So all the way to Kobe, they were all loyal believers in "old-school basketball" and would not mingle with their teammates casually.
To use Ci Shiping's words later in the interview, that is: If you want to be friends with people like them, you must first show your qualifications and strength, otherwise please step aside. This last question is a "huge topic"
Kobe Bryant had countless performances in his career.
Search for similar news, there are tons of them.
And this is the basketball style that Tang Qian likes. He doesn't like the "brother style" created by the "03 Platinum Generation".
You try to think about it, if he is really an opponent, how likely are you to be good friends with him? Aren't most of them "face projects"? Just perfunctory on the surface? And this kind of perfunctory was more real in the past
display.
There is sympathy for each other, but most of them are tit-for-tat.
Look at the current competitive atmosphere of the NFL. They are still the so-called "old school" atmosphere. This way in the competitive league, it looks more real and more substantial. Obviously most of them are just pretending, and they have to force themselves to accept it.
Is it uncomfortable? Is it disgusting?
If there really were so many "enemies and friends", the four words "sympathizing with each other" would not be so precious or valuable.
In a competitive league, everyone is "friends and foes" and "sympathizes with each other." Do you believe it?
Even a simple competition is full of emotions and unhappiness, let alone such an occasion and stage with unlimited spotlight?
Of course, this is also a plan to leave an extra escape route for myself.
What if in the future... we all stick together and become teammates?
There seems to be nothing wrong with saving more face and reducing the smell of gunpowder.
right?
Is it?
There was only the last minute left in the first quarter. The two sides came on stage again. Tang Qian asked D'Antoni to replace Sacre, replacing "CIC handsome boy" Jordan Hill. The Lakers' lineup was Farmar, Wei
Sli Johnson, Manny Harris, Robert Thackeray, Tang Qian. The Heat replaced Wade and Bosh, leaving only James on the court to lead the team.
This is the Heat's regular style of play this season. Wade is suffering from a knee injury, so he needs to rest longer and longer, and many games even take turns. Bosh's physical strength is not as good as James's, and "with more in one area", it is very
It’s none other than James.
Making role players who suit his own system stronger is James' "additional aura" and "additional attributes."
After Tang Qian came on the field, he looked at the score. It was 29-10. The Lakers were 19 points behind. He said to Sacre next to him: "Robote, try your best to stay in position and push people. You don't need to take off to cover up defense. Just
As long as you don't lose position, leave the rest of the work behind the basket to me."
Thackeray cherishes the time standing next to Tang Qian, because his own ability is not as good as Jordan Hill, and his shooting range and accuracy are also several blocks behind Ryan Kelly, so he has always been with the Lakers.
He was the "Guardian of the Water Cooler" or the "Iron Bench". But next to No. 29 of the Lakers, he suddenly found that he had some use.
That is to block the opponent and then cooperate with active defense. This is enough.
His 7-foot height! 270-pound tonnage! These are his advantages!
Regardless of whether it is blocking positions, pushing people, or "defending without jumping", what is needed most is enthusiasm, followed by physical hardware, and finally the so-called "ability". He considers himself to be far superior to Jordan Hill in these aspects.
and Ryan Kelly.
Tang Qian needed someone to be a human shield and someone to sacrifice. Thackeray, who had good physical hardware and a perfect attitude, became his first choice.
Jordan Hill and Ryan Kelly are completely unqualified in these aspects.
Who has the final say on the future Lakers big man? It’s obvious.
"Don't worry, Tong, I will do whatever you ask me to do!" Thackeray cherished this opportunity. He even felt that this was his only chance in the Los Angeles Lakers. So, how could he not work hard?
"Well, come on, Robert, you seize the opportunity by yourself, and you earn your worth by yourself. The basic salary is not your highest salary." Tang Qian was very satisfied with Thackeray's performance and attitude, so he said a few words of encouragement.
He said: "Don't you forget that my first season was also a basic salary, which was even less than half of your current salary."
"So remember one sentence."
"Anything.is.possible."
"Everything is possible."
This kid... besides fists, does he also know this move? Perhaps this is also his talent and factor that impressed No. 24?
Well, it's not impossible.
Mike D'Antoni stood on the sidelines and thought silently.
James dribbled the ball from the outside, and Wesley Johnson had no choice. In the first quarter, he was completely beaten by Miami's No. 6 and lost all confidence. James easily broke through from the top arc, and then rushed
Enter the inside line, attract the defense, and missile the ball.
The basketball flew to Michael Bliss on the other side at an extremely fast speed. Bliss caught the ball and attacked the basket. Thackeray tried his best to block him. Moreover, he listened to Tang Qian's words and did not
Take the initiative to take off, just stand outside the reasonable collision zone and straighten your arms, and then ensure not to lose the defensive position. This seems to be useless, because Bliss dodges the latter with a change of hands, but Tang Qian needs Thackeray
What has been accomplished, he has already accomplished.
Frontal impact is easily hindered, so the opponent can only dodge and take action, but if he dodges... is that enough?
Tang Qian jumped up high and slapped away Michael Bliss's layup.
The basketball is back in the Lakers' hands.
However, the basketball did not hit the Miami basket. The independent offensive ability of the Lakers is still weak, and they cannot handle the Heat's fully mature and fully formed defensive front. It is not fake that they have entered the NBA Finals for three consecutive years.
This kind of continuous experience in the finals will also make fools out, and the chemical reaction and team understanding will be greatly improved.
A single player needs to "fight monsters and level up", but why doesn't a team need it?
The Heat are currently considered to be one of the best "Team Cooperation Level" S teams in the entire NBA. Except for the San Antonio Spurs in the West who have surpassed them for "twenty years as a day", looking at the entire league, they have no rivals.
So even if it is a substitute player, the tacit understanding and chemical reaction are still excellent. At least it is much better than the Lakers. Not everyone is Kobe. If one person attacks the entire team's defense, the shooting rate is appalling.
What's strange?
Originally, the shooting percentage in positional battles is not as good as in sports battles. Who doesn’t know this simple basketball common sense?
But Tang Qian got the offensive rebound.
Because "Birdman" Anderson is simply not enough for him to step on.
Then, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he rose up from the ground and dunked into the net with both hands.
Boom~The Lakers broke the "scoring drought"~
12-29, 17 points behind the opponent.
This is also Tang Qian's first offensive rebound of the game.
James dribbled the ball, and he easily passed the defender. Nothing happened. The Lakers' perimeter trio is now Farmar + Wesley Johnson + Manny Harris. Do you want more? Defense
It's almost impossible to live in No. 6 of the Heat.
It was another breakaway ball. The basketball flew to the bottom corner. Jordan Farmar tried his best to pounce on it, but the basketball was moved to near a 45-degree angle. It was completely open! Rashad Lewis made a three-pointer.
Take a shot, brush~, and hit the Lakers basket.
12-32, with the three-pointer hit, the score difference between the two sides widened to 20 points.
Falling behind again by a big margin? They were beaten last time and fell behind by 36 points in the end. But last time the team had a tidy lineup and had the offensive weapon of Kobe Bryant. Now? The sun has simply set.
Same, no sunlight can be seen at all.
When James retreated, he glanced at Tang Qian, with a hint of provocation and teasing in his eyes.
It seems that after playing so many games with the Lakers No. 29, James has a little temper.
He wants to use a naked victory to wash away the opinions of the outside world.
Tang Qian saw this look, raised the corner of his mouth, and ran towards the frontcourt.
Since there is no real strong point guard, Tang Qian is unable to exert his ability without the ball. As a result, the Lakers once again strike from the outside and the basketball flies high. The Heat adopted a contraction strategy in the hope of consolidating their defense.
rebound.
Michael Bliss wanted to get stuck in front of Tang Qian, but was quickly pushed back by the latter. A power forward who averaged 3+ rebounds per game was completely out of Tang Qian's sight. What's more, he weighed 230 pounds.
