Chapter 1160 The Lakers' debut is very slow after halftime(1/2)
Staples Center, Lakers regular season opener.
It seems that the "grass period" has been going on for too long, so tonight the Staples Center is extremely lively and enthusiastic.
Players from both sides began to enter the stadium to warm up.
Towns looked at No. 29 in front of him who was warming up to shoot and said: "That guy is Dongfang Fang? It looks... really big." Wiggins next to him said in his heart: Not only is he big, an offseason
Is he taking hormones? He was big enough last season, and now, is he going to go crazy? Is he already over 300+ pounds? Or 310 pounds? Fuc.k~ I hope his athletic ability has declined.
Less.
"I really want to try his skills tonight! It's a pity that he can't play tonight~otherwise~" Towns, like all the "proud ones" who have just entered the league, feels that he is the best one.
, these people are just "stepping stones" on their own way forward. No wonder there are various "teaching rookie dramas" staged every new NBA season. Mainly rookies, they are all pretentious and think they are college stars.
So when you come to the NBA, you still want to be a star. In addition, challenging well-known players is the best way to increase your reputation, so this kind of "challenge drama" and "teaching drama" will be repeated at the beginning of every season.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. Although most challenges end in failure, there are also examples of success.
Become famous through one battle and gain a lot of praise and fans.
Everyone knows the example of Tracy McGrady becoming famous in the first battle in the training camp. It was also in the training camp that Qiao Shen was discovered by the college coach through constant "mixing in" and constantly becoming "familiar". In addition to these examples in the training camp
, there are not many nights in the NBA where he becomes famous in one battle. For example, in the finals when "Magic" replaced Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he was blessed by God.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had a stat sheet that would have been difficult to produce even without injury, with 42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. He perfectly defeated his opponents and won the FMVP trophy as a rookie.
For example, the 76ers' rookie Michael Carter-Williams played against the Heat and delivered a nearly crazy 4-double data, and helped the team upset the defending season champion Heat. In that game, the "Heat Big Three" became
His supporting role. Although he got worse and worse as he played later, as if his "aura" was overdrawn, this did not prevent his name from being remembered by many people. After all, this is the strongest debutant in the NBA in 28 years.
Show, something that even N super experts can’t do.
Then there are Jeremy Lin's "Linsanity", Brandon Jennings's youngest "Mr. 50+", Yao Ming's 23 points, 20 points, 6 rebounds and 9-for-9 shooting, which made Barkley kiss the donkey's ass. There are also
Future's latest "scoring crazy show", young player Devin Booker from the Suns scored 70 points! This made him create a lot of history in one fell swoop, such as being the youngest person to score 70 points, and becoming the active player in this league.
First person to score, etc.
This depends on becoming famous in one battle. If Jeremy Lin hadn't scored such a high score in the game against the Lakers, would he have been remembered after the Kobe Bryant game? The NBA will only respect the strong. This has always been the case from the founding of the league to the present.
.So, many young rookies think that they can become famous like them, and from then on, endorsement contracts and fame will fly like snowflakes.
What could be more "eye-catching" and more "topical" than defeating the league's No. 1 team at the same position?
Towns dares to say that as long as he does it, he will definitely be on the front page tomorrow, and his commercial value will also be greatly increased. As a rookie, he is much more obsessed with American swords than famous stars. Because the latter basically does not
This is lacking, but as for the former, they have just joined the alliance and their pockets are still relatively "dry". In this case, continuing to increase the number of US dollars is the top priority.
And how to increase it? Of course, the greater your fame, the faster you will make money.
This is the same thing all over the world.
As this year's No. 1 pick, if Towns doesn't have any enthusiasm, then he will come out of the prestigious Kentucky school in vain.
Besides, most Americans show off their individuality, and they don’t want to “accumulate” and “wait” at all.
Well, there is actually nothing wrong with this mentality. A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier. However, it depends on who you are looking for to challenge. If you don’t find it well, it is very likely that something like that will happen.
Lamy encountered Wilt Chamberlain's "human tragedy" for the first time.
Nonsense, you, a newbie, want to become famous overnight by challenging me, so I have to "teach you a lesson" for my own reputation, right? Besides, "teaching newcomers a lesson" is a "long tradition" of the North American sports league.

Tang Qian saw the look in the eyes of the young No. 1 pick across from him and didn't express anything. It was Nick Yang, the "big mouth" who said: "Hot~ Look, that kid looks at you like he's treating you like a delicacy."
Well. What, no idea?" "Yes." Tang Qian replied while warming up: "I really want to 'take care of' him. But I can't help it tonight."
"That's such a pity. He's still a rookie and a top talent. It seems like the show will be postponed." Nick Yang said with a smile. Tang Qian said with an indifferent expression: "What kind of genius is he who can't withstand the storm? You can't.
Don’t forget, when I joined the NBA, I was well-trained by these famous stars. This is a required course. Jordan was severely trained by Bird. Is he still more talented than those two? Of course, even if
It's Jordan Bird. I won't be afraid of the first year as a rookie. I'm already 5 years old, and it's my job to teach newcomers how to play in the NBA." "Okay, hehehe, whatever you think is fine, I
He's just a show-goer." Nick Yang said hehely: "Don't say he is Jordan, saying he is Bird is just to promote him. Anyway, I am most optimistic about you in this position."
Tang Qian said lightly: "My opponent is no longer this kind of newcomer. Don't forget our goal for this season, Nick. Training the rookie is just a seasoning. Don't relax your focus."
"Allah, I know, I know, I will remember it. We will definitely get off to a good start in this game. Even though you can't play, we are still confident." Nick Young said: "Just look at me. Hot. Have a good time tonight.
Let’s enjoy my performance of ‘Yang Shaoxia’ on the bench~”
"It's not enough to get off to a good start." Tang Qian jumped up and hit a one-handed chop: "You have to perform very well, otherwise I will stand up from the bench after the game to practice more with you.
"
"Uh~ I want to practice with you more? Let's forget it~" Nick Yang's face turned pale when he heard this: "You think I am Kobe."
"You two train crazy people~"

"This is China Sports Channel. After waiting for an offseason, the new NBA season has finally begun. The game we bring to you today is the Los Angeles Lakers VS Minnesota Timberwolves. If you have anything to say, you can send us a scarf
, follow the topic and receive prizes. Director Zhang, Director Zhang? What are you looking at?"
"Look at Tang Qian, he's really thick and strong now. This is the quality of an inside player. It's a pity that I can't see his progress in the offseason today." Zhang Weiping was like this when he was playing.
"Power play" was one of the most powerful players in the national team in the past. At the age of 50, he was still unbeatable in arm wrestling in the CBA, which became a legend. His playing style back then was called "Chinese Barkley".
This shows that although he keeps emphasizing reasonableness, if you really watch the ball, you will know...he likes the kind of hero ball that goes beyond reasonableness.
Tang Qian is getting bigger and bigger now, and he likes him more and more.
Because a strong body is a guarantee for the strength of inside players, but I don't know whether No. 29's athletic ability will be affected.
This is also something Zhang Weiping is very concerned about tonight.
If it is affected, then it is better not to use this tonnage. The gain outweighs the loss.
"Yes, Tong needs to be suspended for 6 games in the regular season because of what happened in the Western Conference Finals last season. We still need to be patient to wait for his first show this season." Meteor Rain said: "But we believe that Tang Qian will perform better this season.
OK."
…
In the United States, T.N.T was responsible for commentating this game, and the commentators were Charles Barkley + Kenny Smith, a pair of old friends.
Because the Timberwolves have added famous NCAA newcomer Towns this season, their playing style has also changed a lot from last year. In the past, their playing style was still based on the outside, losing a lot of points, and their scoring was unstable. Their rebounds were also exploded.
It's tragic. This season, coach Sanders was originally planning to adjust to a combination of inside and outside play. Unfortunately, he was struck down by the disease before he could implement the adjustment. Even after undergoing surgery for Hodgkin's lymphoma, he could not
Save his life. Two days before the start of the Timberwolves' 15-16 regular season, Flip Saunders died of illness.
Before this game, many people posted condolences on Twitter, and the big screen at the Timberwolves' home court kept broadcasting various stories about the old coach's life. Garnett expressed the most sadness. He posted a picture of him sitting there late at night.
Sanders often took photos of the parking space at the stadium, saying that the latter asked him to come back but when he returned, the latter was no longer there.
Anyway, on this day, the new head coach of the Timberwolves, Sam Mitchell, had no sense of presence at all.
There's no way around it. How long has Flip Saunders coached the Timberwolves? From 1995 to 2005, plus last year, how can Sam Mitchell match this qualification?
Garnett was trained by the former, so he has to hold back his displeasure. Although Mitchell spent several years with the Timberwolves as a player, there is still a difference between him and Sanders.
However, this season, Sam Mitchell also believed that Flip Saunders' original plan was good. He added Towns, an absolute star insider in the NCAA, and the team originally had Wiggins, the top pick on the outside.
It's a pity to "combine inside and outside". But this "combination of inside and outside" also depends on how you train and use it. For example, his training method is very bad, with too much emphasis on star singles, while the "stars" of the Timberwolves are still
He is young, still new, and immature. You can imagine how bad this coaching strategy will be in the end. It is not without reason that this guy was dismissed after playing for only one season.
A mess of offense and even more of a mess of defense, especially the latter, have allowed the young stars who have just joined the team and are still in the process of growing up to develop a good habit of focusing on offense and neglecting defense. This is not good for Wiggins and Towns.
Speaking of which, it's not a good thing.
Especially the latter, as an inside line, is disadvantageous in defense and rebound protection, and has great limitations on his future upper limit.
There is nothing to talk about in the fight for the ball. Tang Qian is not there, and Sacre is responsible for the center, and Towns easily takes over. This young man does have the capital to be proud of. Being the number one pick in this class is not unreasonable. Tang
Si's height and wingspan are okay, but it still depends on who he compares with. Compared with Tang Qian, he is not on the same level. Thank God if he can win once in 10 fights. It is estimated that the latter either has a fever or a cold. The Timberwolves opened
The ball moved first. People were looking forward to the final performance of this Lakers team, but from the beginning, people were "surprised."
The Timberwolves made a mistake right from the start. Rondo picked up the ball, stabilized himself, made a gesture and the whole team advanced, and then...
Let me go~ Do you want this~ The starting point guard of the Timberwolves looked at Rondo on the opposite side and was speechless:
Damn, why are you so slow for the whole half? There's no defender over there? Are you kidding me?
Is the invisible man defending you? Or is the air resistance defending you? I asked, can you be a little faster?
But Ricky Rubio's inner voice had no effect. Rondo still dribbled forward steadily without any rush. In fact, this is basically the first step in the tactical system of all slow-paced teams. From the source
Slow down. Let all players get used to this "slow" rhythm. Only when they are "slow" physically and mentally can they not play anxiously and curb the opponent's rhythm. This is a holistic thing.
, it doesn’t mean that you can pass halftime quickly and play slowly. Larry Brown’s request is very simple. From the bottom of your heart, slow down for me. I don’t need you to be any faster.
This is a very clever style of play. The Pistons in 2004 were the typical example and master of this style of play, and the Hulk in 2008 also did the same. So as soon as the Lakers signed Rondo, Larry Brown said management
The layer operation is basically satisfactory.
How to put it? If Jeremy Lin and Nash are suitable for fast pace, in which they can easily explode their energy, then there are also some point guards who are suitable for slow pace. For example, Jason Kidd and Rondo, it is not as good for them to play fast rather than slow.
