Chapter 33: The first section appears
When the plane landed in Detroit, the city of automobiles, Qin Yang was surrounded by sports media.
This is very rare in the Cavaliers.
"I feel honored by Mr. Dolan's words, and no one can say what will happen in the future, but now I just want to play every game and prove myself in the NBA."
Qin Yang said it very low-key, this is an excuse learned by LeBron's side.
Similarly, LeBron also had a righteous face when he was interviewed:
"I don't think it's the time to say this, the Pistons are a strong opponent, they have beaten the powerful Lakers F4 combination, it's a strong opponent, as for Dolan, I don't care at all, I think about how to lead the Cavaliers to victory."
Qin Yang and LeBron were very vague.
It's a sign of talking.
LeBron is born with high emotional intelligence, while Qin Yang is guided by Szczebiak and Vallejo.
In this league, even superstars don't necessarily last on one team, so never say you're going to live on one team.
One of the League's sayings is true: it's just business.
Of course, after this interview, the news media was quite undisciplined.
"According to sources, LeBron James has no hope of winning the championship with the Cavaliers and will leave the Cavaliers next summer to win the championship with other teams, and the Knicks are the first choice."
"Chinese rookie Bruce Qin is dissatisfied with the low salary and wants to turn his head to other teams, and these four teams have a soft spot for Chinese rookies."
……
Normal people won't believe brain-dead news like this, but some people who eat melons are still very happy to watch it.
But...... LeBron will go to other teams next year, which is too low, not to mention, what the hell is going to the Knicks, ready to play amazing statistics in the regular season, and then go fishing in the playoffs? As for Qin Yang, a draft pick who has just played a few good performances, what qualifications does he have to say about his salary.
The Cavaliers didn't care about such claims because LeBron was telling the truth in some places.
This is the last away game in a row and it is very difficult to play.
The Cavaliers play the Pistons on the road.
The Pistons made a lot of trades after winning the championship, and the Pistons Five Tigers had already gone their separate ways, and now there are three more in the Pistons, Prince, Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace, and among the Cavaliers there is Ben Wallace, the main center of the original Pistons.
Billups, another Pistons core, went to the Nuggets and traded for Allen Iverson.
This match attracted a lot of attention before the game.
"A battle to test the true strength of the Cavaliers."
"Big Ben is back, and the Pistons are playing against their former teammates."
……
The media gave this game all kinds of names and created all kinds of gimmicks, but this is their hustle and bustle and has nothing to do with Qin Yang.
Before the start of the game, Ben Wallace came on the court, and the fans at the Pistons Auburn Hills Palace Stadium gave Ben Wallace a round of applause, which made Ben Wallace excited.
Before the game, Ben Wallace met and hugged his former teammates and gave an interview:
"You know it's a special feeling, I've stayed here for a big part of my life, I love it, it's given me good memories and today I'm going to prove that I'm still who I was. Thank you to my fans. ”
Ben Wallace was in a mixed mood when he was interviewed, and his eyes almost glistened with tears.
This scene is so touching.
But this gave Qin Yang an extremely real feeling: perhaps, one day, he would also leave the Cavaliers.
This kind of thing is not far off.
The game started quickly, and Ben Wallace played well in the first quarter, scoring 1 point, 2 rebounds and 1 block under the basket, and yes, this data did not cost.
On the one hand, Ben Wallace's role is not something that can be reflected in the data, with Ben under the basket, the Cavaliers' interior hardness has improved more than a notch; On the other hand, having Big Ben on the floor means the team is bound to have one less man on the offensive end.
Big Ben's stats also reflect his role on the offensive end, with the exception of 1-of-2 from the free-throw line, Big Ben is completely invisible on the offensive end.
The Cavaliers LeBron played aggressively, but it didn't do much, and with LeBron consuming most of his energy, the Cavaliers didn't take the lead, but fell behind by two points.
At the critical moment, the weakness of the Cavaliers was undoubtedly revealed.
Prince is a very good defensive player, with a great advantage in height and reach, and can defend LeBron very well, and even if LeBron forces his way to the basket, he will be assisted by Rasheed Wallace.
The Cavaliers are a strong defensive team, and the defensive system of the whole team is clear, but compared to the defense of the Pistons, the defense of the Cavaliers is more than a step behind.
Not to mention the Pistons' defense on the outside, Kwame Brown on the inside did a good job of protecting the frame, at least in terms of resistance, and choked Ben Wallace enough.
And Rasheed Wallace is a master of helping defense, and the Cavaliers' best blocking tactics become very embarrassing after encountering Rasheed Wallace.
Helped by Rasheed Wallace time and time again, the Cavaliers shot poorly.
After falling behind in the first quarter, in the ninth minute of the first quarter, Qin Yang came on the court.
This is Qin Yang's first appearance in the first quarter.
Each team's tactics and strategies are very fixed, and in general, the timing and timing of players' appearances are relatively stable. As a three-point shooter and playmaker, Qin Yang generally substitutes for the playmaker in bench time and rarely plays in the first quarter, which is determined by the Cavaliers' lineup and tactics.
McBrown replaced Qin Yang in the first quarter, because the situation was really not good.
"After you get on the court, help LeBron share the pressure, do a good job of organization, and don't be polite when you have the opportunity." Coach Brown gave his final words on the sidelines.
Qin Yang nodded, and after high-fives with Mo Williams, Qin Yang came on the court.
Mo Williams looked depressed and went down.
Qin Yang played.
The Cavaliers attacked, Hamilton defended Qin Yang, and Dronte West was opposite Allen Iverson, which was something that could not be helped.
Qin Yang's height determines that if the defensive speed is fast, the small player with strong explosiveness will suffer very much, so the player who defends Allen Iverson can only be Delonte West.
On the outside of the Cavaliers, he is the best defender.
There was nothing wrong with the Pistons' positioning, and Qin Yang did not try to single Hamilton, Hamilton only followed half a step away, and Qin Yang did not find any opportunities.
Qin Yang dribbled to a high position, and then beckoned to the inside.
Seeing this, Big Z came out to block and dismantle.
Qin Yang didn't give the ball to LeBron, but played a tactical match first. This is not the team's fixed tactic, but in Qin Yang's opinion, this is the best choice right now.
The big Z block dismantled the cover, and Qin Yang directly dribbled and hit the basket.
Rashid Wallace hurriedly surrounded and did not give Qin Yang any chance.
If Qin Yang's stop-and-go jump shot was fast enough, this step after blocking and dismantling would also be an opportunity, but Qin Yang did not practice such a technique.
Standing with a high dribble, Qin Yang pretended to pass the ball to the big Z who ran out of position on the other side.
"Bruce Qin passes, steals Allen, no!"
"LeBron James scores in the air."
