Chapter 777 Kobe is in a downturn, unable to support himself alone (addition completed~)

Gasol even resented Tang Qian a little bit.

Why?Because of the latter's outstanding performance during this period, the Lakers' inside standards have been raised, so everyone's expectations for him are naturally "raised."In fact, this is a complete venting of anger, because if you want to blame, you can only blame Gasol himself. After his comeback, he was under too much psychological pressure and had too high expectations of himself, so he fell into this deadlock.

If he is willing to start as a substitute in the first few comeback games, it may be much easier to find the feeling like this.But because of the so-called "self-esteem", the Spaniard insisted on starting.Insist on being prepared.But the facts are quite the opposite.

In fact, let alone him, even if he was as strong as Kobe, wouldn't Yuan Shikong perform mediocrely after returning from a serious injury?You want to come back with a perfect performance...it's not torturing the opponent, it's torturing yourself.

Feasibility is too low.

But Gasol didn't want to blame himself, so he could only "blame his anger" on Tang Qian.

Tang Qian, who was lying innocently, didn't know that he had been "concerned" by Gasol. In his opinion, the latter was still the good teammate and senior who helped him and supported him in his rookie season.Of course, not only Tang Qian, even Kobe, who has played side by side with Gasol for so many seasons, did not find the "abnormal" number 16 of the Lakers.

They all overlooked one thing, the human heart and human nature, especially those who are not so tough, are most prone to internal changes.Gasol is too eager to prove himself, and the increase in age and the sudden emergence of newcomers have added an extra psychological burden to him, so gradually, he developed this "anger" mentality.

Generally speaking, the number 16 of the Lakers is actually not fully prepared to deal with the intensity of the NBA's starting lineup.

He was too impatient.

Perhaps to prove himself.

Maybe it's for...

Now that D'Antoni is in the locker room, he really has a very low sense of presence, and he doesn't have any "right to speak" in tactical settings. It's all about letting the Lakers run on instinct.Really, if there is no Tang Qian, if there is no super-peak Kobe, if there is no silver scoring card + silver monthly card, then the Lakers can win 30 games this season is an extravagant hope.

Up to now, he is third in the Western Conference, and may even reach second in the Western Conference. With this record, D'Antoni himself has not "relieved".Much more than he expected.So on the contrary, it was a little lack of preparation and extremely hasty.

"Strengthen the defense in the second half! Strengthen the defense! If you can't play well in rotation, can't man-to-man? The Thunder is not the Spurs? Tonight's game, we must win! Did you hear that???" Kobe said The locker room kept calling the shots, but he was actually not in a good state tonight, which was a sign.

A sign of something falling apart.

Kobe played too hard this season, and doing so in the regular season actually didn't do much good.

But you have to change your perspective. If he doesn't play like this, the Lakers will definitely not reach 50 wins now!It must not reach the third position in the West!This is also dialectical.

Whether it is a gain or a loss depends on Kobe's own trade-offs and trade-offs.

But Tang Qian is still confident, because he still has a deadline for the silver scoring card, and he should be able to win this game tonight.But the facts will prove everything, this game is not so simple a regular season.

The Lakers want to win, why not the Thunder?

Kobe has a strong desire, is Durant bad?

Everyone in this game knows in their hearts that whoever wins the game and wins the statistics, then there will be a watershed in the MVP match between the two sides.The loser may have to lose a lot of "impression flow ticket sources".

This is fatal enough when the MVP competition is so fierce this season.

So when Tang Qian also started to try to score, he suddenly realized that the situation was not good.Because he scored, the opponent also scored, so it was equal to not scoring, and the score gap was not narrowed.This is a big disadvantage for the lagging team.If it goes on, the Thunder is getting closer and closer to victory.

"Succeeded in the hard play at the basket! It also caused a defensive foul by Ibaka! But the score difference is still very big, the boys need to work harder!!!" Bill McDonald was right, Tang Qian The ball finally hit a 2+1, but within a few seconds, the opponent scored a 3-pointer, and the scorer was Kevin Durant.

Durant didn't score much in the first half, and he didn't play much in the second quarter because the game went smoothly. Now his physical fitness and energy are extremely abundant, and he is naturally relentless when he scores soaring.As for Wesley Johnson's defensive interference, Thunder No. 35 just ignored it.

Tang Qian looked up and saw that there was still a 16-point gap, which meant that he worked hard inside and scored 15 points with a super high shooting percentage, but only helped the Lakers narrow the gap by a few points.This is obviously not fast enough.

The Lakers couldn't keep up in this quarter, why?Mainly because of the state of No. 24, there was a sudden big landslide. From the second quarter, his shooting percentage dropped sharply. This situation has never been encountered in the first 60 games of this season.The Zijin Army team didn't know what to do.

Because of the previous games, Kobe has always been extremely strong, and it has never been like this.

It came suddenly, which was terrifying, and caught the entire Zijin Army by surprise.

But if you can’t keep up with the scoring points, it’s very difficult to win by relying on an insider alone, because the insider scoring has always been known for its stability and high shooting percentage. You want to continue to explode and chase points continuously, which is not what the insiders are good at.Besides, so what if it was done?It is impossible for one person to score more than the opponent's team.

This is the same as Kobe scoring crazy points some time ago and always losing.

A single scoring point is really too little, not enough at all.

Moreover, the Thunder team also played up their momentum, and everyone was alive and kicking, which made the entire Lakers team restrained.

Even rookie Steven Adams completed two inside attacks. When Tang Qian went to block Russell Westbrook, Thackeray was forced by the former.It also includes a violent deduction!This made the Thunder's momentum soar!
Kobe's shooting rate still hasn't improved. He wanted to explode, but...but found that he couldn't explode.

This is the reason for the serious deficit in both physical reserves and energy reserves.

The body of No. 24 makes it difficult for him to forcibly improve his state.

In this way, Durant exploded, virtually widening the gap.

Because Kobe was supposed to blow up the No. 2 of the Thunder, and Durant hit the No. 3 of the Lakers, and then see who scored more points in the end.But now Kobe is not doing well, which tilts the balance of the outside line comparison, and the Lakers' outside firepower has been completely suppressed.

After Durant scored another isolation shot, he yelled at Bryant: "How is it? Bryant? Is my scoring ability okay?"

Kobe wanted to fight back on the offensive end, but he still missed. In fact, Caron Butler's defense was not very good, but from the second quarter, the Thunder's basket seemed to give Kobe an extra "The Cover" did, denying nearly all of his shot attempts.

After Durant received the ball, he made a direct shot, swipe~, and then scored.

"Hey Black Mamba, is this your peak? I'm not giving it my all yet!"

Kobe's face turned cold, but he couldn't explode tonight, as if his body had been hollowed out, and heavy lead weights were tied to his feet, making it impossible to break free.

We can't continue fighting like this!He was obviously tired!He is tired!
D'Antoni saw the problem, and he was going to replace Kobe in the next timeout, but this did not succeed, because the Lakers' No. 24 refused to order and refused to leave the field.And his reasons are very good. Only when he is on the court can the Thunder be restrained. Otherwise, Durant and Westbrook will play smoothly, and the Lakers will basically lose this game.

Mike D'Antoni knew that Kobe was not talking nonsense. The Thunder's lineup has a strong scoring ability and a lot of scoring points. If Russell Westbrook fights again, then the Lakers' season winning streak will end. Tonight, it ends on March 3th.

What makes D'Antoni tangled is that this tone cannot be vented.

Because once vented, the morale of the team that had been gathered with great difficulty would collapse in an instant.

After all, the lineup of the Lakers this season was not originally formed to win the championship. Most of them are short-term contracts with basic salaries and temporary mercenaries.With such a lineup structure, you can play downwind and against the wind, but your ability will be greatly reduced.This has been verified many times throughout the season.

So after a little hesitation, he still didn't get past No. 24, and Kobe continued to appear on the stage.

Seeing that he was in good form and his opponent's condition was getting worse and worse, Durant said somewhat vindictively: "Bryant, Mr. Black Mamba at the peak, I don't need you to 'let' this year's MVP, it's mine too! You The era of James has passed! The era of James has passed! The future belongs to me! It belongs to our Thunder! It belongs to me Kevin Durant!!!”

"Okay! Shut your mouth! I can see your disgusting gums!" Kobe replied angrily: "The game is not over yet, I won't let you win!"

"Haha~ Then tonight is up to you!" Durant laughed and said, "I will give you back everything you said to me before the game!"

Tang Qian played very aggressively in the paint, and he also possessed good overwhelming power. Whether it was Serge Ibaka or Steven Adams, he was very embarrassed on the rebounding end.Offensive low-post rebounds are hard to get one.What about defensive rebounds?It is also necessary to be cautious and do your best to survive, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be snatched by the former and become a part of the statistics column.

But still the same sentence, one person cannot support a team.

No matter how strong Tang Qian is in rebounding, there is a limit. After all, he didn't use the rebounding ability card, so he couldn't miss every low rebound.So if the offensive problems of the Lakers can't be improved, the defensive problems... Forget it, basically they can't be improved.We can only find a way from the offensive end.

He didn't know, he was speechless, so why not his opponent?Originally thought that Kobe's poor state and feeling bad, this game can be easily won.But now, the Thunder are still playing a bit "depressed", without that feeling of complete suppression.

Because the reason is very simple, the score difference has not been enlarged, but is still gradually shrinking.

The range is very slow, but it is shrinking!This is an unquestionable thing!

The head coach of the Thunder, Scott Brooks, was surprised. He didn't understand why the Eastern center was in such a good offensive state during this period, and his shooting percentage was so exaggerated!It's a center forward, the one closest to the basket among the five positions on the basketball court, and it's only natural that he has the highest shooting percentage.After all, the highest field goal percentage in NBA history was set by a center.But what about this streak of key goals?Could it be that he can withstand the pressure so much?Is this how to continue the feeling?

This guy really didn't use drugs, did he?

Of course, it's just a thought, because the league's urine test for the Lakers is the strictest and most frequent now, and there haven't been any suspicious reports or problems.So everyone can only attribute all this to the state and feel.

At least, after a game, the hit rate is not 100% or 90%, is it?

7% to 8% of the hits are still obtained with high scores. It is incredible, but it is still within the acceptable range.

If Tang Qian scored 100 points in a row with 50% shooting, it would be unrealistic for a fool.

It must be pulled to do "experiment".

Tang Qian is not stupid at this point, he has already thought of all the steps in his mind before using this combined ability card.In some competitive novels, the protagonist uses an impossible hit rate to cut invincible data, quadruple double or even five double, and the league is only "surprised".Tang Qian would not be stupid for such a thing that violated common sense and laws.

And having owned the "Different Space" for so long, Tang Qian gradually realized a problem. "Different space" is not omnipotent, it should be just a "special space" for "accelerated growth" in the end.Fewer and fewer missions, more and more difficult to obtain ability cards, this all shows one aspect, those who want to rely solely on the ability cards of "different space" to become "Long Aotian" will definitely die a miserable death in the end .

He didn't want to end his career hastily like that. What he wanted was a big ambition.

Well, I heard that his contract is not long, 1+1 contract, so after this season is over, it will be operable, right?If the Thunder team fails to win the championship again this season, and they don't even make it out of the West, then it is very necessary for me to discuss with the management and try to poach people at the end of the season.If a core lineup of Durant + Westbrook + Dongfang Hot can be formed, then in the next 5 years in the West, Oklahoma will be invincible!

The coach of the Thunder thought so, the current Tang Qian is not the Tang Qian before the end of last season.Super data, super strong rebounding ability and ability to protect the rim, the latter has already impressed countless people with its strong season process.

If it is said that Tang Qian after the end of the 12-13 season is a problematic player caught in various negative news and various "gates".

Then after the end of the 13-14 season, he will be recognized as a super blue-collar.

Kobe has a point of view that is being gradually accepted by everyone in the league.That is... No. 29 of the Lakers, he is the number one blue-collar in the league, blue-collar No.1.

Through one game after another, more and more teams will throw "olive branches" to him.

As for how old Tang Qian is now? Who. cares?Who the hell cares about this kind of thing?
Powerful ability, this is the best counterattack to dispel all doubts.

Mutombo was also troubled by this problem back then, but when his data got better and better, people would only make good-natured ridicules about his real age, not the previous malicious irony.

Tang Qian is now a blue-collar, and this season has already surpassed the former's season data, even if people don't know whether he can continue to maintain it in the future.But in this season alone, there will be countless people who dare to bet.Because of this kind of data, half of the decline is still the excellent level of the league's blue-collar workers.

So this kind of "gossip" besides the meddler and the media, which management still cares about it?

You said you don't want it?In this era of general decline of giants, then you must be a fool, a two hundred and five.

The pressure on Kupchak is the best example.

With the continuous advancement of Jenny Buss' faction and the continuous successful decision-making, his position as the general manager has long been crumbling.
