"Bruce, I'm not going to show mercy this time."

After Tyrek met, he boxed and greeted Qin Yang, Qin Yang responded with a smile, and the two drank juice and chatted.

Last season, Qin Yang entered the Kings strongly, and Tyrek Evans and Qin Yang still had some contradictions.

But it has to be said that Terek Evans is good-tempered among black people.

After Tyrek Evans' status dropped last season, he didn't make trouble, but instead made a low-key show of obedience.

As a result, the Kings got rid of the initial chaos, and the two players were traded away without stopping.

Otherwise, Terek Evans would take the lead and make the playoffs.

After eating, the two teams dispersed.

In the afternoon, the competition officially began.

The Grizzlies have not changed much this season, the team is still strong, and the 4-1 win by the Thunder in the playoffs last season did not affect the momentum of the Grizzlies.

After all, the Thunder team is very strong, and in those few games, Kevin Durant was super-god, and the Grizzlies were very few points behind.

In this game, the Grizzlies' starting line is still strong.

Mark Gasol, Zach Randolph, Tony Allen, McConley, Tyrek Evans.

The Grizzlies' biggest problem isn't the outside, it's the inside.

But the Grizzlies only seem to see how awesome the black and white bears are, and they don't understand what the problem is at all.

Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph were good offensively, but they were too slow on the defensive end.

Qin Yang made up his mind in this game.

In the playoffs last season, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant played well against the Grizzlies, and that's why.

Before the game even started, Coach Van Gundy made the arrangement:

"The Grizzlies are very strong, they are great on both ends of the floor, but they are too slow to help defend inside. As long as you complete the running and passing tactics on the offensive end, and attack the inside in time, it is easy to take a big lead. ”

Coach Van Gundy is really good at the tactical set-up.

This is the kind of thing Paul Westphal wouldn't do, but Coach Van Gundy is different and has a clear arrangement.

At the beginning of the game, Qin Yang used cover to hit the board in the middle distance.

The Grizzlies are all-round on the outside and strong on the inside. So if you want to defeat head-on, there are only three ways.

First, break through the super strong players and go directly to the basket to score, as long as the interior can open up space and beat the Grizzlies to the flower.

It's just a pity that the Kings don't have that kind of player.

Wade and Ross and others are good at this, Qin Yang can't talk about breaking through super strong, he can only break through not weak.

Second, a mid-range jumper.

After the outside pass is cut, he shoots directly from the middle distance, and it is impossible for Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph to assist in the defense.

They're too slow.

Third, the strength is crushed.

This is the stupidest method, and it also consumes the most physical strength and energy.

If Qin Yang explodes and directly blows up the Grizzlies outside, the Kings can also win, last season, when Paul Westphaal was coaching, the team couldn't open, and Qin Yang did this.

However, Qin Yang did not play well in that game and directly pitted the team.

In this game, Coach Van Gundy did a good job.

Qin Yang either used the cover to shoot at the middle distance, or others covered the run and shot from the middle range position.

David West made 2-of-4 shooting in the first quarter and delivered three offensive shots.

David West's passing was also excellent and experienced.

Cosby, Qin Yang, and Ray Allen all got easy layups.

The Kings won comfortably in the first quarter.

This game was far less hard than Qin Yang imagined.

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies' mana, both inside and outside, reversed the score, and the black and white bears attacked in turn and continued to score.

Darko played against Zach Randolph and was beaten badly.

Zach is really big Randolph's low-post offense is too strong, Duncan was blown up last season, and Darko couldn't prevent it.

The first half ended with the Grizzlies in the lead.

But in the team's dressing room, the atmosphere was very good, and there was no anxiety or anxiety about the lead.

It's not that the team isn't competitive, it's that everyone feels they can come back again.

Coach Van Gundy has been in charge for a short time, but he has already established his prestige.

"Guys, there are still a lot of problems in the last game."

Coach Van Gundy walked over with a tactical version and began to talk about the mistakes of the first half one by one:

"Darko, you should be a little more resolute, there are three balls, you just shoot it is a good chance, or break through Zach Randolph, I believe you can do it."

"Ray, Cosby, pay attention to each other's positions, don't run towards the inside line at the same time, one person pulls the space outside, and one person cuts to the basket, otherwise they will all be prevented from death when they get to the inside."

"Cousins, be careful not to foul, don't shoot high jumpers, take advantage of your advantage, they're bulky inside, you're fast enough to just turn around and go to the basket."

"Livingston, don't rush when you pass the ball, you're in too much of a hurry, you can pass to the outside when you don't have a good time, reorganize the attack, and wait for the other side to make a mistake."

"Klay, pay attention to your shooting options, and when you don't have teammates under the basket, try not to shoot directly."

……

Coach Van Gundy took out the tactics board and told everyone what was wrong with the first half.

Even Qin Yang was asked by Coach Van Gundy to be more active when defending.

Qin Yang nodded and did not say a word.

Let the boss and core of the team defend aggressively.

Coach Van Gundy is a really upright boy.

Howard has complained about this kind of thing before, Howard's offense is not good, and he is good at defense.

But Van Gundy was a little too embarrassed to use the team boss as a pure blue-collar worker, and to say so in public.

Qin Yang is the boss of the team, and Qin Yang can't be allowed to defend infinitely on the outside because of Qin Yang's advantages in height, arm span and speed.

If you change to the boss of another team, you will probably be dissatisfied with Van Gundy.

But Qin Yang knows that this is Coach Van Gundy.

When Kasby on the outside, Ray Allen and Qin Yang partnered, Qin Yang was the most reliable defender among the three.

Lei Allen is old, Casby is slow and weak, so he can only rely on Qin Yang.

But what Van Gundy said was really unpleasant.

……

In the second half, the game continued.

The Kings didn't make any major tactical changes, and when Qin Yang came on the court, he slightly accelerated the pace and individual singles, and directly sent the Grizzlies away, and the so-called super strength of the Grizzlies was not enough in front of Qin Yang.

After the game, Zach Randolph was still a little unconvinced:

"We didn't play that well in this game, the Kings found our shortcomings, David and Darko kept shooting mid-range jumpers, hitting time and time again, which made me feel bad, I don't think they can be so accurate every game."

In this game, Darko and David West made 14 mid-range shots, 8 of 14, and the shooting percentage was super high.

Zachrandolph and Marc Gasol had to step up to help defend before the rest of the Kings could easily make layups.
