Chapter 17 17. Playoffs start
In the few days before the playoffs, Tang De spent day and night in the arena.
Apart from training, he has nothing else to do.
It can be said that basketball is all about him, his belief!
Not every professional player's ultimate goal is to win the championship. It can even be said that most people play to make money. As for whether they can win the championship, it doesn't matter!
But Tang De is different. His professionalism is very high. Since he has the opportunity to play in the NBA, winning the championship is his biggest goal.
In the face of this goal, everything can be compromised!
Tang De's training focuses on dribbling these days!There is nothing wrong with his defense, at least his three-pointers are okay before the skill card expires, the biggest problem is his dribbling!
In terms of dribbling skills, Tang De still has too many things to study.
Everything pays attention to the basics. If Tang De has no basics in dribbling, even if he has systematic help, the effect will be reduced!
In a word, don't think that you are invincible with the system!
Tang De always kept this truth firmly in his heart.
The playoffs are approaching step by step, and the atmosphere within the Lakers is also undergoing subtle changes.
In fact, the atmosphere in the current Lakers team is already very tense, because each player thinks differently, and the players do not have a common goal.
Some players have no desires, and they have already disarmed ahead of time. Anyway, they can't beat the Spurs in the playoffs, so there is no need to train so hard.
But there are also some players who still have a strong desire to win, and they will only know if they can win or not after they have played against each other.
And Tang De belongs to the latter, Tang De has a strong desire to win in his heart!
Even if I can't win the Spurs in the end, at least I can't make them feel better, and I must cause them trouble to the greatest extent.
After all, Tang De didn't want to become a stepping stone for others so easily, that would be too embarrassing...
On this point, Tang De had communicated with D'Antoni, and D'Antoni and Tang De had almost the same thoughts.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if you win or not. In short, we just can't make you feel better for the Spurs. If you can't win, you will be sick to death.
Of course D'Antoni and Tang De both want to win. They are eager to complete the "Black Seven" miracle, but there is no way, the team's lineup is here!
Tang De knew very well that if the Lakers wanted to go further in the playoffs, they had to seek a deal!
But helplessly, Tang De has no way to control the transaction, it is the management's decision!
The premise for Tang De to intervene in the transaction is that he must grow rapidly and show a performance that convinces the management, so that the management will be willing to build a new lineup around him.
But this is obviously a matter of the future, and it is impossible for Tang De to have this right now.
If nothing else, the Lakers still won't do anything during the offseason this season. It would be nice if the team can maintain their current competitiveness.
In other words, next season will still be Tang De's leveling season!
However, Tang De also has his own small ideas in his heart. Tang De plans to wait until the offseason arrives, and try it out...
On April 4, the first round of the Western Conference playoffs kicked off. The first game of the series between the Lakers and the Spurs started at the Spurs' home stadium, the ATT Center Arena!
Before the start of the game, the major authoritative media have predicted the outcome of this round of the game.
Most people think that the Spurs will eliminate the Lakers 4-0 or 4-1 in the first round!
For this prediction, Tang De didn't think there was anything strange, he just wanted to play as much as possible!
Even the domestic media, including the so-called experts, are not optimistic that the Lakers can win the Spurs. Similar to the American media, they believe that the Lakers can only win 1 game at most, and winning 2 games is a miracle!
TNT still broadcast the game live across the United States. During the warm-up period of the players, tonight's starting list was given on the big screen in advance.
Spurs: Parker, Danny Green, Leonard, Duncan, Splitter!
Lakers: Blake, Meeks, Downer, Gasol, Howard!
No matter from which position you look at it, the Lakers do not have the upper hand!
On the back line, only one Tony Parker is enough for the Lakers to drink a pot.
With Duncan, Diaw and others under the basket, Howard also has no advantage. What's more, Howard has no fighting spirit, and his heart is no longer with the Lakers!
If you insist on saying that the Lakers have any advantages, then only Tang De can, but the premise is that Tang De can continue his previous performance!
If Tang De made a mistake, the only remaining advantage of the Lakers would be wiped out.
"Hey Shaq, aren't you a fan of Don? Can you tell me how Don should play tonight to hope to win the Spurs?"
Before the game, Barkley started a crazy "taunt"!
It seems that in every game, if you don't beat O'Neal, he will feel uncomfortable all over!
O'Neal did not speak, his expression was very serious, and he was also worried about the state of the Lakers. Although he had high expectations for Tang De, to be honest, he was not too optimistic about the Lakers winning!
……
With the whistle of the referee, the game officially begins!
Splitter and Howard jump the ball in the middle circle.
Howard once again jumped to the first wave of offensive possessions without any suspense.
He handed the ball to Blake, and then walked slowly to the frontcourt!
At the beginning of the game, Tang De didn't take the initiative to ask for the ball, but kept running without the ball!
The overall defense of the Spurs is too strong, and Tang De didn't plan to take the ball to do it himself, so he won't get any benefits!
In the matchup, Tang De was facing Leonard.
The matchup between these two will be one of the biggest highlights tonight. After all, on the defensive end, both of them have a set.
On the inside, the initial matchup is Howard vs. Splitter and Duncan vs. Gasol.
Just after halftime, Blake handed the ball to Meeks.
Meeks held the ball for a few seconds, did not find any good opportunities, and handed the ball to Gasol in the low post.
Facing Duncan's defense, Gasol chose to play back!
The hook after turning back is one of Gasol's forte, and Gasol is very skilled in the use of this technique.
But unfortunately, he faced Duncan's defense. Although Duncan was 36 years old at this time, he was a real veteran.
However, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and Gasol's shot was interfered with by Duncan this time, and he didn't score!
Obviously, it is not easy for Gasol to eat Duncan alone in the low post...
Split got the backboard and handed the ball to Parker!
During this period, Parker was still at his peak, and he was still one of the best guards in the league in terms of speed and rhythm of play.
Parker catches the ball and quickly advances the frontcourt.
Duncan did the "wall" and made a very solid pick-and-roll for Parker.
Parker played very excitedly at the beginning. Of course, he would not disappoint Duncan's kindness. He dribbled the ball three times, five times and two times past the defender, and hit a small throw!
