"What? Asian centre-forward? Mickey, do you mean seriously? "Kobe. Bryant asked loudly as he stood in the general manager's office.

"Well, Bonnie said he's very good, and he's the most suitable interior player for our Lakers in the NBDL right now." For herself by Bonnie. Laughlin put things on the line, Mickey. Naturally, Kupchak would not tell anyone, after all, the signature on the signing contract was his own handwriting.

“what？ Are you kidding me? That's what you told me about reinforcement??? Find an Asian to reinforce ??? Kobe Bryant also feels that he is getting older, so he is imminent of winning the championship again, and there is not much time left.

"Kobe, NBDL is not an NBA draft after all, and it is normal for players to have limited levels, but this person's NBDL data is very good, and so far, he has been the NBDL rebounding king and block king." Mickey. Kupchak Road.

"The NBDL's rebounding and blocking kings?" Kobe snorted coldly and said, "Don't tell me these useless things, I'm not an NBA rookie anymore, this kind of rhetoric can't deceive me!" Show me his player profile, I need to know if what you're saying is true! ”

Take Mickey. Kupchak took the player information sheet, Kobe Bryant was stunned for a moment, and said secretly in his heart: Why is he?

……

"Hey, boy, what are you going to wear tomorrow?" Ci Shiping seemed to be extremely interested in Tang Qian, so did he come over and talk to Tang Qian.

"Well, I don't know, maybe the 14th." Tang Qian said.

"Number 14? That's a shame, because this number has been taken up this year, and the person who uses it is Troy. Murphy, of course he was injured two weeks ago, so you can't see him today. Ci Shiping "popularized" Tang Qian.

"Someone who used it? So, that's the 29th, right? Tang Qian said after thinking about it.

"Number 29? Does it have any special meaning? Ci Shiping was curious, because in the NBA, many people choose to be particular about their back numbers.

"No, because tomorrow is my first NBA game, it's the 29th." Tang Qian replied.

"Huh? Just because tomorrow is February 9th? Ci Shiping said with a disappointed face: "You are too casual." ”

"What? Mr. Pease, does it have to mean something? Tang Qian asked.

"That's not it, it's just that it's generally a little meaningful, such as wearing a number from childhood to a big number, such as paying tribute to your idol, such as ...... In short, I chose to carry out the number like you, and it was the first time I met it, is this oriental thinking? Ci Shiping said.

“maybe。”

Just as the two were chatting with each other, the door of the training venue was pushed open again, and this time the person who walked in was the undisputed boss of the Purple and Gold Army, Black Mamba, Kobe. Bryant.

Kobe Bryant walked in and glanced at Tang Qian, and then said loudly: "Tomorrow's opponent, I think you all know, I can tolerate No. 6 losing to the 76ers, but Boston ...... Be sure to win! ”

After a long day of training, Tang Qian felt that the man was a little indifferent to him, and just when he didn't know why, Ci Shiping ran over and said, "Look at you all the time today, you think he's very strict, right?" ”

"Mr. Pease, it's okay to be harsh, but why do I feel that he seems a little cold to me? It's completely different from the last time we met. Did I offend him somewhere? Tang Qian saw that it was Ci Shiping, and immediately asked the question in his heart, because in the entire Lakers team, except for him, no one took the initiative to talk to him for the time being.

"Hey~ What should I be, this is it? Haha, what's the matter, China is hot, it feels weird, right? ”

"Well, could you please ask Mr. Pease to sort it out for me."

"Puzzled? Haha, okay, I like to be a teacher to help people solve their doubts. Ci Shiping smiled happily when he heard this, and said: "China is hot, in fact, he doesn't have any hostility towards you. ”

"Then why ......"

"That's because you weren't a member of the Lakers before, so he naturally doesn't have any requirements for you, and it's okay to be kind and smiling. But now it's different, once you put on the Lakers jersey, then you become a member of the Lakers, and he has always had this attitude towards the Lakers players. ”

"But I see him ...... with you"

"I'm not like you, I've won the championship with him, and I've already been recognized by him."

Hearing this, Tang Qian seemed to understand and said, "Mr. Pease, that is to say, he doesn't agree with me now, does he?" ”

"Yes, I don't identify with you as a member of the Lakers." Ci Shiping thought for a while and said, "I know that Smash. Parker? ”

Tang Qian nodded.

"Kobe Bryant once said to him famously, your level is not qualified to talk to me, before you can talk to me, you need to achieve more honors and achievements. I didn't understand why he said this, it hurt the relationship with his teammates so much, but after I won the NBA championship with him, I suddenly understood that he is such a person, once he sets foot on the basketball court, he will be desperate, and even some of his relatives will not recognize him. ”

"Can you understand him, Mr. Pease?" Tang Qian naturally heard about this matter, after all, the "Grim Reaper" Parker also came to the CBA to pan for gold.

"Of course, I couldn't understand it before, but all this, the moment you put on the championship ring, you will immediately wake up, this is how this man leads the team forward, and the reason why he is very you is that he wants you to be stronger, he wants the Lakers to be stronger, and he wants to win more Larry. O'Brien Cup, that's all. After Ci Shiping finished speaking, he also mocked Smash slightly. Parker said: "So you saw it too, Smash. Parker didn't have anything, couldn't even play in the NBA, and I got a championship ring. ”

"Well, I see, I see, thank you Mr. Pease for your patient answer." After getting the answer, Tang Qian's body and mind instantly relaxed a lot.

"So, China is hot, if you want to get Kobe's approval, then work hard, training lazy people is also what he hates the most." Ci Shiping said.

"Well, I will, Mr. Pease." Tang Qian replied.

On February 9, US time, the Los Angeles Lakers played at home against the Boston Celtics.

There is no need to say much about the grievances between these two teams, whether it is the United States or China, everyone knows it, and the gimmick of the "yellow-green war" can be said to be one of the famous grievances of the NBA. In recent years, the vicious battles between the Purple and Gold Army and the Green Shirts have almost been popular and very interesting. Unlike Tang Qian's 2015, in 2012, the "Big Three" of the Green Shirts are all in the team, and even if it is not for the East Final of Miami's "New Big Three", then the 2012 championship will most likely be won by the Green Shirts. Judging from the current situation, the Lakers have been different from the two-game championship period, and the overall strength has declined sharply, while the Celtics are still "old and strong", after the introduction of former All-Star power forward Jermaine. After O'Neal, the strength of the bench inside increased again, and the thickness of the bench was extremely terrifying.

However, the Green Shirts have an old problem, that is, the regular season is "slow to heat", and it takes a long time to gradually get into the groove.

No, don't look at the 2012 Green Shirts reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and the fierce battle with Miami ended until the tiebreaker, but the record on February 9 was not much better than that of the Lakers. The Lakers are 14-11 and the Celtics are 14-10, just one win ahead.

However, the main forces of the two teams, which are all old acquaintances, can be described as "enemies are very red when they meet", so as soon as the two sides stepped on the court, the whole atmosphere became tense.

"Kobe, your team looks very average at the moment!" Meet Kevin. Garnett teased.

"Kevin, I don't think you're much better, it's so slow, be careful that you can't even make the playoffs!" Bryant. Bryant also spoke back, don't look at the relationship between the two off the court is quite good, but as soon as they got on the court, they instantly became "incompatible" and "needle-to-needle".

"You don't have to worry about this, because if we destroy your Lakers tonight, we can use this to improve our state!" Kevin. Garnett said.

"Really? That's what I mean. What could be more exhilarating than stepping over a Celtic corpse? Kobe Bryant is also an "old Jianghu", so when it comes to lip-synching, he is not weak at all.

But all of the above has nothing to do with Tang Qian, he is now just a "water cooler guardian" at the end of the bench, and the big guy above is choking, in addition to watching, he only has to watch.

Is this the real NBA game?

The atmosphere, the number of people, the lights...... It doesn't even look like you're playing basketball!

At the beginning of the game, the two teams played iron in a row at the beginning, and no one scored for nearly two minutes, but in the end it was the Celtics who broke the deadlock first and relied on Ray to break the deadlock. Allen's 2+1 scored three points for the first time. Lakers head coach Mike. Seeing this, Brown immediately adjusted his style of play and switched to an inside attack, which immediately had an effect, and under the combined attack of Gasol and Bynum, the Celtics' interior line slowly showed fatigue and began to lose repeatedly. In this situation, Boston's MVP could sit down, and Pierce stepped up and scored five points in a row to help the Celtics stabilize the lead.

The score was 12-17, and the Lakers trailed by five points.

"The remaining two minutes, Bryant, it's up to you to attack, they're getting tighter on the inside now, and we need firepower from the outside." Mike. Brown called a short timeout.

"I see." Bryant's answer was succinct as always.

The rest of the first quarter turned into an offensive performance for Bryant, who first hit a mid-range shot and then was hit by Thunder from beyond the three-point line. Allen's offense, all three free throws. And that's not all, followed by another breakthrough layup, which single-handedly scored 7 points. In the last 3 seconds, it was Kobe Bryant, who assisted Steve in the bottom corner of the wonderful pass. Blake, Steve. Blake lived up to his mission and hit a three-point shot from the buzzer.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers temporarily trailed the Green Shirts by four points, 22-26.

Throughout the first quarter, Tang Qian didn't get a half-second chance to play.

This is normal, the yellow-green war, under normal circumstances, their "ten-day short-term work" is indeed not possible.

Unless the garbage time comes early, it's pretty much the same.

But looking at today's posture, it should be impossible to enter garbage time.

Tang Qian is not in a hurry, he has also watched a lot of NBA games, and players like him usually don't have a chance to play in the first half. And sitting below, it is just right for Tang Qian to observe the way and rhythm of the NBA game.

The degree of slashing is really very intense, it is completely incomparable to NBDL, one in the sky and one underground.

At this level of confrontation, how well can you perform?

Tang Qian's heart was a little drumming.

In the second quarter, the Lakers killed a "surprise soldier" at the beginning, and he was Matt. Barnes. With the Green Shirts' defense slightly neglected, he made 4-of-4 shots and scored 8 points directly, which caught the Celtics a little off guard. Fortunately, someone in the "Big Three" of the Green Shirts has stepped forward again, and he is Ray. Alan. Two three-pointers, the knife fell, and at the same time won two free throw opportunities, but unfortunately one of the balls "Junzi Lei" used great force, and the basketball collapsed out of the basket.

Seeing the Green Shirts tighten their blocking of the outside line, Paul. Gasol took the opportunity to basket a single attack, hit 3 of 4 shots, and scored 6 points to "beat" the opponent again. Seeing the opposing players shine, Kevin. Garnett was reluctant, and he made consecutive back-to-back shots, although he missed a few baskets, but also scored 6 points to tie Paul. Gasol's offensive score.

A minute before halftime, Kobe Bryant stepped up again, shooting 2 of 4, and helped the Lakers solve the "urgent need" with two difficult mid-range shots.

With a hook shot from the owner, the halftime was over, 45-47, and the Lakers were just two points away from tying it.

And unsurprisingly, throughout the first half, Tang Qian spent the entire first half on the cold bench. Brown didn't mean to get him up at all.

In the Lakers locker room, head coach Mike . Brown is speaking.

"We played well in the first half, inside and out, but there were too many holes on the defensive end, Bryant, Ray who was against you. Allen has already scored 12 points in the first half, one more than you, and you try to keep an eye on him in the second half. ”

"Is it one more point than me?" A light flashed in Kobe's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Coach, don't worry, I know what to do in the second half." ”

"Well, it's good, we had okay rebounding in the first half, four more than the opponent, but in terms of assists, we were a little bit worse, and hopefully in the second half everyone played a little bit more selflessly and made the basketball work."

……

At the start of the second half, I don't know if it was Mike. Brown "lost character" in the locker room, and the combination of inside and outside, which was originally played well in the first half, suddenly broke the line. Bynum conceded two goals in a row, Ci Shiping hit three points, and even Kobe, who has always been stable, seemed to be infected, and lost all the first 4 shots.

"Damn it!" As soon as he called a timeout, Kobe Bryant scolded secretly.

To be honest, Boston's hand in this quarter is not very good, but it can't stand the Lakers scoring only 5 points in the entire half of the quarter. The score gap was opened up a lot at once.

Mike. Brown also has a bit of a foundation, after all, he is a man who has won the best coach, it can't be so useless, he carefully analyzed the game situation and off-court data, and came to the conclusion that the Lakers' interior line is too weak.

It's a far cry from the first half.

A full half of the quarter has passed, and the entire Lakers team has only scored a pitiful 3 rebounds, which is a little unreasonable.

Probably Andrew. Bynum had already committed four fouls, so he hesitated between moves.

Then let Bynum take a break first, after all, the fourth quarter of the decisive game has not yet arrived, and if there are really 5 fouls, the situation will be even more troublesome.

However, the Lakers are short of interior personnel. Murphy is out again with an injury, which can still ...... Well? BY THE WAY, DIDN'T THE TEAM SIGN A 214CM BIG MAN THE OTHER DAY? Although Asian, there is always a height, isn't it?

Okay, then let him go and try it.

"Hot, come over here."

Mike. Brown suddenly turned his head and shouted at the end of the bench.

PS: It's late again, please forgive me!!
