Chapter 463: Change Tactics
"Don't worry, Mr. D'Antoni, we're going to win, the streak will continue. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "Tang Qian turned his head to Mike before going on the field. D'Anthony Road. Because he could see Mike. D'Antoni is serious about this game, and with the fixtures reduced, external and internal pressure is having a huge negative impact on the 60-year-old.
Because the "Zen Master" did not come, even many Lakers fans did not like this old American with Italian nationality very much at the beginning. To be honest, in his last life, Tang Qian didn't necessarily like Mike much. D'Antoni, but since coming to the United States and coming to the Lakers in this life, he has been very interested in Mike. D'Antoni is still grateful.
After all, this old man, when he was still very ordinary and ordinary, was willing to give himself a chance and was willing to pull himself, this alone was enough for Tang Qian to remember in his heart. Don't think it's an inconsequential thing, it's not uncommon in the NBA to get playing time to "level up" and end up being a talent who is not known to everyone or even abolished. Don't say that Tang Qian is just a non-draft player, people just don't believe in you and don't give you any chance to play, what are you going to do?
There's nothing you can do.
This can happen to high-ranking rookies, and it's even more common for non-draft players to appear.
None of them are qualified to complain.
Look at the names that were scrapped because they didn't have enough playing time to "level up", Darko. Milicic, Archie. Ties, Bill. McGill, Chris. Washburn, Kwame. Brown and so on, they were once in college or middle school, they were all the stars of the storm, full of talent, and hailed as future basketball stars. But they are also an encounter, the top three high-level shows, but the first year or even the first few years are more than ten minutes of playing time, in this kind of playing time, their confidence in technical potential qualifications, have been finally smoothed out, become a big parallel commodity in people's mouths. If you take a closer look at all the draft rosters in NBA history, you'll see that no matter how high your draft pick is, if you don't get any playing time in your rookie year, more than 90% of them will be scrapped and you will become an ordinary mediocre player in your career. And those powerful star players, few of them have played an average of no more than 30+ minutes per game since the first year, which seems to have no connection, but using big data statistics, there is always an invisible law, looming.
I have to blow a wave of Kobe Bryant here, none of the top ten players in history have less than 30+ years of training time in the first year, even if the list is relaxed to the top 20 in history. Look at Emperor Zhan, the "leveling time" in the first year is 39+; Look at Qiao Shen, the "leveling time" in the first year is 38+; Look at O'Neal, who was close to 38+ in the first year; Look at Duncan, 39+ in the first year; Not to mention Chamberlain, Russell, and Abdul-Jabbar, their 40+ "average training time per game" is their starting point.
Only Kobe Bryant, the "average training time per game" in the first year was only 15+, which is definitely unique among the top 20 stars in history. So Kobe's sadness and Kobe's inspiration are far from being as simple as the sentence "four o'clock in the morning" that everyone sees. How many young geniuses have fallen on this "leveling time", he can stand out, he can be an exception, and naturally he has also made efforts that ordinary people don't know.
Otherwise, why, others didn't do it, but he did it? Just talking about luck would make people feel ridiculous.
The No. 1 of the Rockets and the Magic team also had this opportunity, and he also had less than 20+ "average training time per game" in the first year, only 18+, but unfortunately...... That damn injury and spine.
So from the perspective of this big historical data, Tang Qian can't help but thank Mike. D'Antoni, not to mention that he was still in Howard's internal struggle with himself, was faintly biased towards himself. This is the reason and basis for Tang Qian's good impression of this old man.
If you are good to me, then I will be good to you, a very simple way to do things.
Hence see Mike. When D'Antoni was so angry by the score difference, Tang Qian stood up and comforted him.
Mike. D'Antoni saw that the person who spoke was Tang Qian, he was stunned at first, and then opened his mouth and said, "It's you, it's hot?" Just be yourself, the Thunder are now the best team in the league, you ......" "No, sir, we will win, the Lakers' winning streak will not be interrupted, it will only continue." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he turned around and went on the field, and his resolute and resolute tone made Mike. D'Antoni couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and said in his heart: In addition to Kobe, I'm afraid the Lakers are the only ones in the team now, thinking about winning, thinking about winning, even if it's Steve, he is old after all~
The extra pressure of leading a big city team for the first time made Mike. D'Antoni felt deeply powerless, deeply tired.
Because as a Lakers head coach, there are so many things to deal with, and at least half of them...... It's not something on the field.
That's the small city team, the additional problem that doesn't exist at all.
"Paul, we are still the old rules, I am responsible for defense, and you are responsible for the inside attack~" Tang Qian said after replacing Howard's No. 5 position, and went on the court to Gasol. After Gasol saw Tang Qian on the court, he was simply "in tears", because by Howard's side, he played extremely depressed and awkward, but by Tang Qian's side, he was relieved, and the whole person was full of energy, and said: "Don't worry, hot, I understand." β
"Hmm." Tang Qian nodded.
Don't look at him and Howard are now playing separately, but Mike. D'Antoni still did a lot of work in the same amount of time. For example, Howard's playing quarters were in the first and third quarters, and it seemed that he kept his starting position, but in the really crucial fourth quarter, he sat on the bench and could only stare dryly. Originally Mike. D'Antoni did this, and he still had a little scruples in his heart, but he asked the opinions of the rest of the team members in private, and it was surprisingly consistent, and none of them objected to his own arrangement. D'Antoni finally decided to make the decision and carry out this substitution.
Of course, in the end, it was the Lakers No. 29 who competed, and under his own tactical arrangement, he really helped the Lakers to play a wave of four consecutive wins, how could this not make D'Antoni overjoyed?
So he made up his mind that he wouldn't easily change this lineup distribution before losing.
Tang Qian looked at the lineup on the court, except for Ci Shiping, the Lakers are almost the main lineup. If the 18-point margin can be narrowed in five minutes, then the Lakers will use this lineup to play the fourth quarter until the end of the game. If the score difference does not narrow within 5 minutes, or even increases, then the next step, Mike. D'Antoni just considered a substitution and gave up the regular season.
No way, professional basketball is not a college high school league, and in a long season, sometimes making appropriate trade-offs is also a test of the head coach's coaching ability. Otherwise, if you fight to the death every time, you won't be able to reach the playoffs, and the whole team will be in a red state of health and become full of injuries.
So there wasn't much time left for Tang Qian, and it wasn't the whole 12 minutes.
But in his face, in his eyes, there was not a trace of anxiety or anxiety.
Because the Thunder won the scrum in the first quarter, they served the baseline in the fourth quarter.
Right here in Reggie. When Jackson was about to continue to kill the Lakers' basket to score points in the third quarter, a big hand suddenly appeared, and then easily slapped his basketball, saying: "Hey~Dude~ The current Lakers are guarding me, not Howard~"
Nash picked up the ball and made a long pass for the first time, Kobe Bryant caught the ball at full speed, and then completed a hard dunk on Westbrook's head. With a "bang", the goal is counted, and a penalty is added.
Brush ~ Kobe Bryant touched the jersey, then shot a free throw, and the basketball went into the net with precision and hollowness.
Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage in the first three quarters was not high, or a little poor, shooting 3 of 10, and 0 of 5 three-pointers, which made him only score 10 points in the first three quarters. 10 points in the third quarter, which was very important for Kobe Bryant. Bryant, it's really a little unsightly, too low. Therefore, Kobe Bryant's ball is also a bit to vent and vent his anger, and Wei Shao became an "unlucky ghost" as soon as he came up in the fourth quarter.
Westbrook passes to Derek in the left bottom corner. Fisher, Fisher made a three-point shot, and when ~, the basketball slammed high into the inner basket, and then bounced three or four feet high.
βRebound~~~β
When Fisher saw the shot iron, he immediately shouted loudly to the inside.
The Thunder's interior also grabbed the rebound, but ...... As soon as the long arm was relaxed, he took the first step into his arms.
The Lakers attacked, Nash missed a three-point shot, Tang Qian grabbed the rebound in the front court, passed the ball to Kobe Bryant in the middle distance, Kobe missed the shot in the middle distance, Tang Qian grabbed the rebound in the front court, and passed the ball to Paul on the other side of the inside. Gasol, Paul. Gasol missed the shot, Tang Qian grabbed the rebound in the front court, and then jumped up and dunked into the basket himself.
Within one round, Tang Qian brushed 3 frontcourt rebounds, this ability is really surprising and stunned.
Seeing this, the head coach of the Thunder immediately chose to make substitutions, replacing all starters except Durant.
But in the end, it still didn't work, the Lakers' interior line was like a high wall, no matter who entered, it was extremely difficult to succeed and it was extremely difficult to make achievements. Four minutes later, if the referee hadn't given Wei Shao a whistle and went to the free throw line to make two free throws, the Thunder wouldn't have known when they would have broken the "scoring drought".
Do you think it's enough to break the scoring drought? Is the Thunder on track? NONONO~ The plot of the first 4 minutes was repeated again, and they fell into the iron palm of the Lakers' interior again. Two more minutes later, Thunder head coach Scott Murphy Brooks finally saw the problem and immediately requested a timeout after the Lakers scored.
And how far apart is the Lakers from the Thunder at this time?
It's just 5 points.
Not Scott. Brooks didn't call a timeout early, but it all happened too quickly and suddenly, and before he could come to his senses, the team was almost overturned. But Scott. After all, Brooks is the head coach who experienced the baptism of the finals last year, and after spending so long, he finally saw a little "doorway".
"In the next time, we try to minimize the number of times we hit the inside, and the defensive state of the Eastern No. 29 tonight is too good, there is no need for everyone to force the fight!" After speaking, he looked at Kevin, who had rested on the bench for a long time. Durant said: "Kevin, you've been resting for so long, you should have enough strength, right?" β
"Of.course~I'm 100% ready to play~" Kevin. Duran nodded.
"Well, I'll take Kevin as the center of the offense later, mainly hit medium and long-distance projection, and the rest of the people should not be idle, more air cuts and runs, and they still have to shoot when they have the opportunity! Do you understand everything? β
"Understood, Mr. Brooks!" The Thunder team members opened their mouths and replied.
When the timeout returned, the Thunder relied on Durant to hit an 18-foot jumper, and the margin returned to seven points.
The Lakers' Gasol made a single basket, causing Perkins to be fouled defensively, making 1 of 2 free throws to narrow the deficit to 6 points.
And turning his head, Kevin. Durant made a three-pointer in the top arc, and at this moment, Tang Qian's brows furrowed slightly.
Have you started to change your tactics?
