On December 29, the Lakers won 132-123 against the Rockets on the road, the Lakers ended a five-game losing streak, Tencent Sports Video broadcast the game live, and talk show actor Tong Monan as a commentator, presented the NBA live debut.
The day before the competition, Tong Monan, who reads English in the North Body, expressed his expectations for the debut of the commentary through social media.
"Beiti's four years of indoctrination of me will finally come in handy tomorrow." I hope that the Lakers Rockets will watch it on my hard-won live broadcast once, and play it for ten extra hours, which will make me completely addicted. Tomorrow at 8:30 a.m., let's watch the ball together! ”
If there are indifferent men, there are good paragraphs. In the pre-game analysis stage, Tong Monan was guided by Wang Zixing and Wang Shipeng.
"Suddenly I think we're okay with this line of work, not so physical." By mouth, can work until the age of 70. Prince Star said.
"Our biggest injury is mouth ulcers." The boy blurted out that it was a stem.
Not only can you tell the paragraph, Tong Monan is also an experienced old fan who watches the game, this game was held in the Toyota Center, the home of the Rockets, tong Monan when he was studying in the United States, he once went to the scene to watch the ball.
"Watching the Rockets and Clippers play the seventh game of the playoffs," Tong Monan said, "At that time, everyone thought they must lose in the sixth game, and the result was magically won, and everyone suddenly felt that there was a play in the seventh game, so they simply went to the scene to support it." ”
Talking about the Rockets' Jalen Green before the game, Tong Monan was very optimistic about the development of the list, because the young man had a tough mentality.
"He was very good at fighting hard battles, and his psychological quality was particularly good." Tong Monan said.
The stem came, and Wang Zixing continued: "It is usually open to Mai that it is not possible to say that it is general, and it suddenly explodes when it is on the show." ”
"Yes, it's the opposite of me." The ability of the boy to pick up the stem is also first-class.
The Lakers' game topic is naturally indispensable to James, and old Zhan has been in very good shape recently, and he can't see that he is about to turn 37.
"I think everyone's evaluation of James now comes according to Jordan's standards," Tong Monan said, "Ten years ago, if you asked me, James is 37, can still average more than 27 points per game, I would be worried, he has done it now, we take it for granted." I remember a discussion with James ten years ago about him being physically fit, but by 37 the average would have slipped to fifteen or sixteen points per game, but he's still at a very high level.
The sword is not old, but it is by no means without traces of age, and Tong Monan frankly admits that the current old Zhan is still obviously different from when he was young.
"It's just that age and physical strength make it difficult for him to make a big deal as before," Tong Monan said, "He now takes twenty-seven or eight points and ten years ago in the Cavaliers, it looks the same, but in fact, it has a difference in the impact of the game, he can attack and defend every round at that time, and now he has to find time to find a gap in the game to ease his physical strength." ”
From the analysis of James, it can be seen that Tong Mo Men have a very deep understanding of basketball, after the start of the game, Tong Mo Men entered the identity of the commentator, fully engaged in it, analyzed the counterpoint, interpreted the game, gave a very high degree of professional comments, let people ignore his identity as a stand-up comedian, showing the state of professional commentators, we do not talk about the paragraph, we will talk about the game.
The Lakers started this game with an extremely small lineup start, and James went directly to the fifth position. Old Zhan, who is about to celebrate his 37th birthday, scored consecutive points from left and right after the game began, and soon scored in double figures, continuing the recent outstanding personal offensive state.
"It feels like James is another 30+ game." Tong Monan said, "Rocket is very difficult for old Zhan. ”
James scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in this game, and the "extra amount" verified the prediction of Tong Monan and achieved a career total of 36,000 points.
James' fifth position can bring the best offensive space effect to the Lakers, but there is also pressure to protect the basket, and the defensive mobility is also tested, especially when encountering the Rockets with strong athleticism. 6 minutes and 50 seconds before the end of the first quarter, Westbrook's pass error was broken, Porter Jr. instigated a quick attack, and the 2021 draft leader Jialun Green took off and glided to receive a dunk, and the Lakers could not form an effective interference.
"This empty connection can be given at will, and you can jump your head and run to the basket." Tong Monan commented on Green, "He is very much like Maddy in the Raptors era. But the defense wasn't as good as Maddie was at the time. ”
Green scored 24 points in this campaign, spread his wings and flew, and the dynamic beauty of dry projection was indeed outstanding.
When it comes to the topic of athletic talent, Wei Shao when he was young has a lot of say, and although Wei Shao is not as fast as he ran and jumped so fast in the past, the competition is still full of passion. "I like Wei Shao very much." Tong Monan said.
Like to like, but Tong Monan also admitted that Wei Shao's game is really "love and hate". "Watch him score the ball." Tong Monan frankly said, "Some shots are incredible, sometimes they will be very outrageous, and sometimes they will be very accurate." ”
Westbrook had a goal above the rebound in the third quarter, but near the end of the quarter, he shot another three-pointer to give the Lakers a five-point lead into the fourth quarter. "It's a reasonable shot, and it's a reasonable shot, but it's just a little nervous." Tong Monan said.
The mistake almost became Wei Shao's "talk show" in the game, with a black humor effect, and was criticized and ridiculed for it, but Tong Monan believed that as the season progressed, Wei Shao would gradually get better.
'He's always able to play quality games when he's most questioned." Tong Monan said.
Wei Shao's performance of 10 of 17 shots, 24 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 7 turnovers in this game verified the judgment of Tong Monan, who may be "devil" from time to time, but is trying to play better and better.
The Lakers completely abandoned the traditional center in this game, insisting on James' on-court configuration of playing five, according to theory, the Rockets should have a height advantage, but this advantage has not been reflected in the game, and has not caused more trouble for the Lakers who lack big men in the basket defense.
For such a situation, Tong Monan gave his own analysis.
"Wood has to move to play, unlike old Zhan who plays with his back to singles, the Lakers play more layered," Tong Monan said, "When Shen Jing is on the floor, the Rockets' inside offensive effect is better, he has the footsteps of traditional European players, blocking and dismantling can hang people, but this time is plagued by fouls." ”
The Rockets fought hard, biting the score tightly to the end, but failed to hold out, and in the last 3 minutes of the game, Anthony's three-pointer, James' cooperation with Westbrook, broke through the Rockets' defense. James and Westbrook both had triple-doubles, Anthony and Munch contributed 24 and 25 points respectively, and Bradley scored 14 points and had a strong defensive performance.
"Perfect!" Tong Monan said.
I like to watch Wei Shao play, praise the Lakers to win the Tong Mo man, in fact, a senior Rockets fan, from the Yao Mai era began to pay attention to the Rockets game, so many years to watch, Tong Mo Man has his own perception of basketball.
"At that time, watching Yao Mai Rocket play in the playoffs was a nightmare, and feeling lost was the norm," Tong Monan said, "Later in the Harden Andromeau period, the key moments of the playoffs were injured and imperfect." ”
The Rockets are now at the bottom of the West, they are experiencing the loss of reconstruction, the Lakers just finished a five-game losing streak, although this game is only 17 wins and 18 losses, suffering a loss of only 50% of the win rate. Competitive sports are not perfect, and the Rockets and Lakers are suffering, but just like this game, they are all working hard and giving a high-quality showdown.
"I was very happy, the first time I came to explain it was so intense and meaningful," Tong Monan said.
