Chapter 182: Talent VS Tactics (2nd Update)
The Thunder team attacked, Westbrook broke through with the ball, and pulled out his hand in the middle distance, which was extremely fast, and Qin Yang was finally hit by Westbrook by accident.
As the first quarter drew to a close, Westbrook was 1-of-4 from the field, and this abrupt pull-out was the only goal.
In the single quarter, Westbrook got 4 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds, as well as 3 turnovers, contributing two steals to Qin Yang.
Kevin Durant hit two of his three shots to finish with four points and one rebound.
In this case, Kevin Durant didn't have the slightest annoyance or unhappiness, and Qin Yang was very embarrassed to watch from the sidelines. As the boss of the team, Qin Yang really has nothing to say about giving up the ball like this.
Howard of the Magic team, as the boss, has little ball possession, and he keeps complaining.
Even if Qin Yang came this season, Howard's complaints still did not decrease a lot, and he always asked Qin Yang to pass the ball, but in fact, it was not that Qin Yang didn't pass the ball to Howard, Howard's low-post singles under the basket were too bad, and the mid-range shooting was unreliable, in this case, Qin Yang could only pass the ball to Howard for a direct dunk.
Howard naturally doesn't have much of the ball.
Kevin Durant is not, Durant is an offense-oriented player with very high individual efficiency, and in this case he should learn Kobe's style.
Give me the ball and I'll take you home.
Last season's game with the Lakers, Kobe Bryant would hit the iron more than ten times in each game, and he was simply the first iron king in the league, but even so, Kobe Bryant was still crazy to shoot, if Kobe Bryant in the finals was a little stronger, maybe the Cavaliers would not be able to reverse the game.
Now Kevin Durant is very efficient in his singles, but he gave the ball to Westbrook, which Qin Yang really can't see clearly.
The second quarter started quickly, with Vince Carter and Blandonbas on the court.
The situation will still be clear.
The Thunder's tactics were reversed over and over again, with Durant single, Westbrook single, and then all over again, and everyone else either defended or looked for an opportunity to catch the ball.
With such a simple tactic, Qin Yang looked embarrassed.
However, in the second quarter, the Thunder overtook the score.
Vince Carter defended Westbrook, was beaten by Westbrook in the face, and punched the teacher to death, this is the case, Vince Carter is old after all, Westbrook's physical fitness is too explosive, and Kostic even used his experience to play Ryan Anderson and Blantonbass.
Kostic made 3-of-4 shooting in the quarter and dished out two assists to help the Thunder move back to the score.
The third quarter began quickly, Qin Yang partnered with Vince Carter in the backcourt, this backcourt combination was more offensive, the first ball, after Vince Carter covered, Qin Yang shot directly outside the three-point line.
Westbrook didn't go all out to chase after the cover, and turned around to grab the rebound.
It's really no one.
After hitting the three-pointer easily, Westbrook attacked with the ball, carried Qin Yang to attack the basket, won two free throws, hit both free throws, and the Magic team attacked again.
Qin Yang handed the ball to Vince Carter in the middle of the half, and he ran without the ball.
Vince Carter broke through, met Seforrosa's assistant defense, and passed the ball to Qin Yang.
Westbrook didn't know where to run, there was no one to defend at all within a distance of more than a meter around Qin Yang, and after Qin Yang received the ball, he even had time to dribble twice, return to the three-point line and hit it easily.
Thunder offense.
Westbrook attacked the basket again, met Howard's all-out defense and gave the ball to the outside, Qin Yang directly made a steal, and assisted Brandonbas to hit a solid mid-range shot after the half-court offense.
Westbrook's shortcomings were infinitely magnified in front of Qin Yang.
The offensive end is too willful to shoot, and he likes to pull out in front of defensive players, if he is also a short point guard, it's okay, but he still plays like this in front of Qin Yang, isn't he uncomfortable for himself.
At the same time, Westbrook's distribution is too direct and clear, if there is sufficient tactical cooperation, it is fine, otherwise it is easy to make a mistake and be stealed by Qin Yang.
Finally, Westbrook's defense is a big problem, and it is not good to keep up with people without the ball.
Qin Yang passed the ball to Vince Carter, and he easily got the opportunity to open the spot.
Kevin Durant is very hard working and efficient, even if he is targeted by Matt Barnes and Petrus, he is also very efficient, 11 of 17 from the field, and has 28 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals.
Russell Westbrook was 5-of-14 from the field with 16 points, four rebounds and 10 assists, along with six turnovers and four fouls.
If we push it a little harder, maybe Westbrook will be the first player in the league to have a five-double, with turnovers and fouls.
James Harden, who Qin Yang values very much, is very efficient, with 5 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds in the dark all-round data, although the porcelain touching technique is still a little lacking, but the strength has begun to appear.
On the contrary, don't brag about the very powerful Jeff Green, who behaves averagely.
Jeff Green, who is better suited to the small forward position, was pushed to the power forward.
Kevin Durant is still intimidated by interior confrontation.
In the end, this contest of talent and tactics ended with the Magic team winning.
After the game, Qin Yang praised the Thunder players in a low-key interview:
"Kevin Durant is the most talented player I've ever seen, and when I played against him, I thought, oh my God, how do I defend it, and then he jumped, and I jumped up, but I couldn't do anything, and the only thing all the defenders could do against him was pray that the ball didn't go in."
"I'd advise Kevin to increase his shots and possession, which is what a team boss should do."
'Westbrook is a very talented guy who has been driven and worked hard since he came into the game, but he needs to improve his passing and attacking skills and it would be a good idea to train hard.
"This year's rookie James Harden is doing well, and it's surprising that he played so well in the first few games of his rookie season, and I think he has the same potential as Kevin Durant and Westbrook, and I know that at this time last year, I was waiting to see when I got my chance to play."
Qin Yang did not hesitate to praise himself, and brought down Kevin Durant, Westbrook and James Harden.
But...... The only person Qin Yang really agrees with in his heart is Kevin Durant.
All three have a lot of potential, but in comparison, Kevin Durant is more reliable, Westbrook has a brain problem, and James Harden doesn't feel good enough.
After this game, the Magic team went to Charlotte non-stop, and in the next game, the Magic team will play against the Charlotte Bobcats.
This game is not easy to play.
