Chapter 1093 In this time and space, there is no thigh Huo

"Tonight is our last stand. If we lose this game again, the series will be over."

"Yes, but I believe in our team, they can defend their home court. Don't forget, our Houston Rockets are a veritable city of resilience."

"This round of competition is mainly for James and Dwight to open up. They played too badly in the first two games. This performance is not enough for the Rockets to win. They need to stand up like the real core players."

Before the start of the game, the on-site commentators at the Toyota Center began to analyze and discuss, especially Drexler, who was born as an NBA player, expressed his own opinions.He believes that the reason why the Rockets were beaten by the Lakers in the first two consecutive games is mainly because the core players played too poorly. The role players can't ask for more. If the core is open, it is not without the power to fight.This analysis seems simple, but in fact it is to the point, because Howard and Harden fell into a slump in the first two games, and suddenly lost two absolute strengths, the Rockets did not play well and it was difficult to win The ball is totally a matter of reason.For example, if Tang Qian and Bosh are in a downturn, can the Lakers still win?The chances of losing against any team will be greatly increased.The game was switched to a TNT live broadcast, and Barkley was still bragging about Tang Qian. This time, Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller both expressed their approval. They began to publicly recognize the number 29 of the Lakers, and now it is the number [-] of the NBA. The first center.

Howard is a thing of the past.Unless in the last two games, he can play a superb performance, that's about the same.

O'Neal is still talking hard. He said in a cliché that basketball is round. Before the series is over, he doesn't think anything can be settled.He still felt that Howard hadn't reached that level.After all, the current "Warcraft" is only 29 years old, which happens to be the peak golden age.O'Neal expressed what he thinks is the "golden age theory of centers". He thinks that although Tang Qian performed well in the regular season, he is more prone to problems when he plays later in the playoffs.

This is really a bit biased, don't you see how O'Neill publicly buried Howard at that time?Why don't you look down on Howard?Why did it suddenly become "Homi"?But this is not the first time O'Neal has done this kind of thing. He used to backtrack on a regular basis, especially when Kobe hadn't led the team to win the championship. He bluntly said that Wade was much better than Kobe.

Wade can win the FMVP like a god, but Kobe can't. After the Lakers lost to Boston in 08, he even publicly sang an insulting song in a speakeasy.Therefore, if you want to convince him and let him admit that you are strong, the easiest way is to overwhelm him in honor, blow him up on the ring, and leave him speechless.

Otherwise, no matter how many MVPs you win, O'Neill will treat you like Steve Nash, the Lianzhuang MVP back then, and will not look down on you at all.This kind of thing, he did not do less.Now, he feels more and more why he doesn't like the No. 29 of the Lakers. The reason is nothing else, but this guy is likely to threaten his status as the strongest center in the 21st century.

This is why he didn't like it at first sight.

Facts have proved that O'Neill's vision and intuition are relatively accurate. Back then, Tang Qian didn't even hit it, so he just targeted it, and now it has aggravated the former's displeasure.O'Neal's narrow-mindedness is well-known in the NBA.

He even said publicly that he could beat Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Of course, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar immediately jumped out to fight back, but this shows the arrogance in Ao Pang's heart.

"Still waiting? Shaq, do you really think that Dwight can keep pace with the current heat? Are you serious?" Barkley looked at O'Neal and questioned, and the latter did not waver and insisted on this point. , as if he was one of the few who grasped the truth.This made Barkley couldn't help complaining: "I have to say, your eyesight is getting worse and worse. You can't even see such an obvious advantage. You really need to wear reading glasses."

In fact, let alone them, Yahoo Sports conducted a poll, comparing Howard and Tang Qian, the latter defeated the former by 86%.This actually shows that in the United States, most fans have begun to exclude Dwight Howard from the number one center in the league.

As for Tianchao Sports Channel, we also invited a more interesting special guest commentator here, that is former Rockets star player Yao Ming.Because it was an official event, Yao Ming nodded in agreement. With his current status, it is impossible for him to pass through the Internet and local stations for the time being.This is also an idea of ​​Tianchao Sports Station to increase the ratings. After all, it has entered the era of high ratings. The impact of the Internet has caused a lot of impact on many traditional TV stations.

Sure enough, as soon as Yao Ming came, he attracted a lot of fans to watch. The word Chairman Yao kept swiping on the interactive platform.This made Meteor Shower feel extremely emotional for a moment about Yao Ming's domestic influence and popularity, claiming that it is well known by the whole people, it is not fake.As far as popularity is concerned, Yao Ming in China is estimated to be the so-called superstar and little fresh meat in the entertainment industry, let alone abroad, most people only know Yao Ming and do not know these so-called domestic big stars.

When domestic basketball and football are weak at the same time, if someone really comes out, it must be very popular.

These are actually opportunities. If you want to become a national hero, there are opportunities. It depends on whether someone can seize them.

If one really comes out, the expectations of hundreds of millions of fans, the expectations of the "poor and weak" in the past ten years, will be detonated like gunpowder.

Tang Qian, in fact, is now standing on such an opportunity, coupled with the current promotion of the domestic basketball association, he is really well-known in the country, as if he is on a rocket, and he is soaring upwards. .Seeing this situation, many small fresh meats and even top stars in China feel envious.This rise, how much they will spend to stir up so many scandals.

It's really... envious, jealous and hateful.

However, I can only be envious and jealous. After all, they are athletes, and they rely on their solid results to speak. If they are asked to train like Tang Qian, they will be exhausted to death within a week.But compared to the future, Tang Qian's domestic popularity can only be said to have just begun.The future fame, even Yao Ming did not expect it.

"Dayao, what do you think of this series and this game?" Zhang Lili asked.

"Well, I'm really asking this question." Yao Ming pretended to say: "You know, I'm actually a rocket man through and through. The Toyota Center was also my second home. If it were someone else, I would I definitely stand on the side of the Rockets without hesitation. But with Tang Qian, I think I have to temporarily adjust my position as the Rockets." Everyone couldn't help laughing at the scene, Yao Ming's sense of humor and emotional intelligence really There is nothing to say, not only to resolve the embarrassment of his own position, but also to choose Tang Qian's side invisibly.

Compatriots from the same country, Yao Ming did not hesitate to choose the latter.

This is political correctness and his inner choice.

It's not for the betterment of the national basketball team. Wouldn't it be good for him to be the owner of the team comfortably?What are you doing in this muddy water?If it's not done well, it's easy to steal chickens and lose money, and in the end it will only cause embarrassment.

"I think if the Lakers want to win, they must implement the principle of defense first. The playoffs are different from the regular season. I always think that defense is the foundation of winning in the playoffs. The defense is too poor, it is difficult to go far Yao Ming did not say this clearly, but it also explained that he actually does not agree with D'Antoni's coaching system. He still believes that "offense buys tickets, defense wins."What about the facts?It also proves that Yao Ming is right. D'Antoni's set is not easy to succeed.

Uh, that is to say, it is not easy to win the championship.

I was able to win the championship last year, and any fool knows why. The conditions are too special, and there is no condition for copying.

"Dayao, do you think Tang Qian can continue to suppress Howard in this match? What expectations do you have for Alian?" Meteor Rain asked. "I think Howard should recover at home, but Tang Qian should be able to suppress him. Of course, this is just my personal wish. As for Alian, I think he should seize the opportunity of the playoffs, Do a good job in every offense and defense, so that he can better stay in the NBA and stay with the Lakers in the future."

"Very pertinent evaluation." Director Zhang said: "Yao, you are still conservative. I think Tang Qian has become the number one center in the league now, and Howard's era is about to end. Our Chinese center, Both of them are number one in the league." Yao Ming said with a smile, "Director Zhang, I don't dare to be that, I was not recognized as number one in the past."

"No difference, no difference." Zhang Weiping liked Tang Qian more and more because he was so upbeat: "You are all leaders in the national basketball team. I believe Tang Qian will reach a higher position in the future." These words Speaking of it now, Zhang Weiping himself actually thinks that "compatriot feelings" and "national feelings" are mostly, but who knows, in the future, the word will become a prophecy.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Tang Qian said loudly to all the Lakers players:
"I have only one request for tonight, and that is victory."

"For this round of the series, I only have one thought, and that is to sweep."

"Let's end this boring first round early. Our goal is not to come to Houston next time."

For the Rockets, McHale is still the old-fashioned "spiritual motivation method", and it is still a very low-level "chicken blood method".It's not that we don't want to "play chicken blood" at this time. If "chicken blood" plays well, it can play the role of "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, allowing the team as a whole to erupt in peace and tranquility.But what about McHale?Still talking about his "brilliant career history", talking about how he faced difficulties and solved difficulties in the Celtics at that time.It sounds good at first, but after listening to it too much, it becomes boring, like chewing wax.

No way, McHale's coaching ability is only at this level. If the Rockets want to improve, the best way is to solve it from the source, which is the head coach.

The lineup has not changed much from before. The Lakers are still Tang Qian + Bosh + Ariza + Butler + Jeremy Lin. The Houston Rockets are Howard + Harden + Terry + Terrence Jones + Josh Smith.

At the beginning of the game, Tang Qian successfully scrambled the ball and gave it to Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin quickly pushed it. He has been playing in this mode for a season, and he has long been familiar with it. Then the two flanking arrows of the Lakers quickly moved left and right, looking for opportunities to directly kill the Rockets. basket.The Rockets retreated very quickly for this ball, which seemed to prevent the Lakers' double flanks from rushing down, but Butler gave the ball away and gave it to the outsider who had just run over, Chris Bo Varied.Bosh plays a big role and has great tactical significance. He can stop the ball at all here and directly raise his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

brush~
It hit the first shot, which made Bosh feel good, and he swung his right hand hard.Bosh's 3-point shooting percentage this season exceeded 3%, reaching 8%.That's higher than Yuan Shikong's 38.9 percent three-point shooting.It's normal when you think about it. Although it is very difficult to increase the three-point shooting percentage by one percent after reaching a high level, D'Antoni's system is very fast, and three-point shooting is the main way of shooting.If you look at Bosh's three-pointers this year, it is obviously a lot higher than Yuan Shikong's own shots. This is why he can get an average of 37.5 points per game with less than 15+ shots. .More three-pointers and a more accurate shooting rate directly increased his scoring efficiency.

Furthermore, the Lakers insider Tang Qian has exploded offensively this season, averaging 12.2 points per game from 28 points last season!No matter how you say the data bonus of D'Antoni's system, it is exaggerated enough.Many people say that the most improved player award should actually be given to the Lakers' No. 29.This huge containment ability allowed Bosh to get more outside opportunities.

He himself went from the Heat's No. [-] scoring point to the Lakers' No. [-] scoring point, and of course the scoring will increase.

This is also a reason.

Furthermore, Tang Qian is not LeBron James, he will not control all the ball so that his teammates only need to play off the ball as a shooter. "Not abandoning star teammates" is also one of his differences.Therefore, Bosh is very hopeful to squeeze into the best team again this season.

Anyway, the voice is not low.

Both Harden and Howard played a lot in this game, because the pressure from the outside world made them feel that they couldn't be swept again, so they played a few good offenses at the beginning.What about the Lakers?In fact, it was a little bit slack, which also gave the Rockets a lot of opportunities in the first quarter.Leading by a big score and slinging in 2 games, many Lakers players subconsciously relaxed and underestimated their opponents.Due to lack of concentration, several balls were scored by the opponent's air cut, which kept the score being bitten by the Houstonians and did not open.

Howard didn't leave the game during the regular time, he chose to continue playing, which he himself strongly demanded, because he has played so many games with Tang Qian, even after repeated defeats, he can still find some problems of.That is, the physical fitness bar of this Eastern center is not as good as his own.He can play the whole game, or force himself to play for 40+ minutes a few times, but the Easterner, he basically can't do it.After the physical strength is exhausted, the efficiency drops extremely quickly.Finally, after failing so many times, Howard has also researched something, so he can target Tang Qian a little bit.

Tang Qian was still taking a break in the regular season rotation, and Howard took the opportunity to attack the inside crazily. He played very resolutely in this game. After all, he was one of the top players in the league. Although he was ranked by ESPN, his ability is definitely not bad.What's more, in the past few years, his playoff mentality is obviously stronger than the "nightclub Deng" around him.Isn’t there a famous saying, Howard who wanted to play happy basketball met Kobe who wanted to play seriously, and Howard who wanted to play seriously also met Harden who wanted to play happy basketball.

When this kind of tragedy happened to him, Howard really wanted to die.

This game is just the beginning.

The Rockets and the Lakers fought fiercely in the first half, mainly because Howard used Tang Qian to get off the field and slammed the Lakers inside, which made everyone a little unresponsive.How should I put it, Howard, who came back from injury in the first two games, was not in form at all. He played too badly and "swallowed zero" directly on the court, which made many people in the Lakers despise him, but the facts have proved one thing. Howard's The ability is still there, but it has declined, and he is still a star player.

This season, if it weren't for Tang Qian, no one would have made him so miserable.

What's more, Howard broke out in this game, and was suppressed for two games. If he doesn't break out again, then he is not worthy of being a star player.Will lose star status.Besides, he himself had just come back in those two games, and he didn't find his rhythm and state in many things. In addition, it was the Lakers' home game, and the opponent was too strong, which made him play so embarrassingly.

But if you want to rely on a Thackeray to block him, that’s a dream. Howard scored 10 points in one breath and made all 5 shots. At this time, D’Antoni signaled Yi Jianlian to double-team with Thackeray, but the effect is still the same. not good.In this game, Howard has opened up his state, and the pressure of the last two games forced him to have a big blow.

This guy is so fierce. I saw Tang Qian suppressing him just now, but I didn't feel that I was going to match... my bones would be torn apart.

How strong is our team's No. 5 position, and can such a powerful person be able to hold back?It's too scary.

Yi Jianlian felt the power of the former No. [-] center in the league during these double-team defenses, which is really not covered.

Only when he goes up to defend himself, can he know how much defensive pressure Tang Qian is under.

How strong is the defensive ability.

It's not surprising that Howard broke out with Tang Qian, because during this period of time, during the Rockets' playoffs, if you read the newspapers and post-game comments at that time, Howard was the thigh at the critical moment.Otherwise, the phrase "Howard who wanted to play happy basketball met Kobe who wanted to play seriously, and Howard who wanted to play seriously also met Harden who wanted to play happy basketball" would not be popular anymore.Let’s not talk about the 13-14 season of the original time and space. Howard’s average is close to 26+14+2+3 per game, and his shooting percentage is around 55%, which is completely at the level of a real superstar. The score is less than 37.6%, 26.8 points looks good, but the fact is that in the key game, Harden disappeared and became invisible.Was eliminated by the Blazers in the first round.What about this season?Look at Harden's performance, especially the second half, it was horrible.All kinds of lost, the number is countless.So in the playoffs, Tang Qian really didn't take this so-called "first position in the league" to heart.At least, this is still the case in the 14-15 season.

But he doesn't know, let alone the 14-15 season, Harden will not be able to escape this vicious circle for several years to come.

Lost in the key playoffs, has become the "demon" of the bearded man.

So in this round of the series, it is enough to strangle Howard, who should have been a thigh, and the Rockets have no life.

In the locker room, Tang Qian smiled and said to D'Antoni: "Don't worry, Mr., I'll give you the monster beast. He can't make thighs."

"Our Chinese center is born to play Warcraft."

All of a sudden, the slightly dignified atmosphere in the locker room was diluted.
