Chapter 548: Unexpected Defeat
The Atlanta Hawks are a strong team.
But it is not a championship-level strong team, the team has been struggling, and the team boss has changed several people in a row.
Now the boss of the team is .......
Who doesn't know who?
It stands to reason that Al Horford is the El, but Horford clearly lacks leadership qualities, and Millsap is not the boss when he first arrives.
Louis Williams and Jeff Teague are even less talkative.
So, the Eagles lack dominance.
Before the game, the Mavericks didn't pay much attention to it.
But when it comes to the competition, it's a completely different story.
Al Horford defended Dirk, and the effect was better than expected, and Nowitzki's other moves were not very good except for using the golden rooster independently.
Al Horford's defense was better than expected.
The embarrassment is that Nowitzki has a bad hand in this game.
Also with a bad hand is Qin Yang.
In the first quarter, Qin Yang was 0 in 4, and he couldn't say how he felt, and he slipped around once he made a layup and slid out of the basket, which made Qin Yang feel unbelievable.
The two cannon barrels lose their feel, and the game is difficult to fight.
What's even more depressing is that the feel seems to be contagious, and Vince Carter also strikes iron in various ways.
Al Horford and Millsap have all kinds of rebounds and all kinds of interior offenses.
The Hawks seem to be hanging up as if the whole team is hanging, all kinds of goals, all kinds of rebounds, Louis Williams even scored 31 points, and the Mavericks want to cry without tears.
Only three minutes into the last quarter, when Qin Yang hit the iron again, Coach Carlisle replaced the main force and conceded defeat.
In this game, the loss is a little inexplicable.
But there is nothing to be done.
The Hawks are in great shape, the Mavericks are not in good shape, and the loss is understandable, and the Mavericks' best performance in this game is Seth Curry.
Seth Curry received passes from teammates, made 3-of-7 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 10 points, 3 assists and 1 rebound.
Al Horford had 17 points and 15 rebounds, Millsap had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and the Hawks exploded across the board, and the Mavericks wanted to cry without tears.
Losing this game was just an accident.
After the game, Rick Carlisle was very flat and did not blame the players.
Rick Carlisle: "It's a normal game, every team is underrated, we weren't in good shape, it's not a big deal, the Atlanta basket in this game seems to be playing against us, I can't remember how many times the basketball has slipped out of the box. ”
'What we have to do is go back and take a break, forget about the game and start again.'
Coach Carlisle doesn't care so much, so naturally the players won't be under pressure because of this.
Qin Yang and Nowitzki are both veteran drivers and will also help the team relieve pressure.
No. 30, the Mavericks played against the Timberwolves.
The game is still a clear one.
But at the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves led 31-26.
Pekovic's inside play was so ferocious that Al Jefferson couldn't prevent it. Kevin Love shot at a high post and had an amazing shooting percentage.
Even more speechless was Kevin Martin, and the game also broke out.
Kevin Martin was very physical when he was younger, a bouncing man at the power forward position, and he was able to shoot accurately when he got older.
When it comes to deck nowitzki, Kevin Martin is surprisingly good.
In the first half, Qin Yang scored 18 points, and the team was still behind.
In the second half of the third quarter, Qin Yang began to break out.
At the critical moment, his teammates were not in good shape, and Qin Yang began to work hard.
At this time, Qin Yang showed his skills in unsolved singles on the outside for the first time this season.
Dribble behind and then pull dry.
Worship the Buddha!
Step back jumper!
Breakthrough after crossover!
Hit the board in the middle distance!
There is no solution to the board after the basket breakout!
European step breakthrough!
……
Qin Yang used his performance to make Minnesota's home stadium silent.
The Timberwolves are too weak on the outside, and the only thing that is difficult to deal with is Luke Bamot, this defense is very good, but after a cover, Qin Yang is still playing casually.
Qin Yang scored 28 points in a single quarter and directly led the team to reverse the score.
In the fourth quarter, Qin Yang mainly led the team, Seth Curry, Cosby, Cory Brewer, Marion all scored once, and the Mavericks won the game with difficulty on the road.
Qin Yang had 53 points, 15 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals in the whole game, and his performance was simply against the sky.
This game once again detonated the league.
Another 50+ single-game game, Qin Yang is not unable to score, but he doesn't want to score.
At the post-match press conference, Qin Yang was very low-key:
'53 wasn't my intention, I just wanted to help the team win, we didn't play well in the first half, we made adjustments in the second half and we did well.
"Next time? I'm not sure. I like it more about the team winning with the overall advantage than me getting amazing numbers alone, which is not good for the game. ”
50+15, such data, even a superstar career has not been a few times.
Take it out and brag about it for a season.
But Qin Yang didn't like it very much.
In the virtual training ground, Qin Yang doesn't know how many times he got 50+60+70+, but in most cases, the more points, the worse the team will lose.
It can be said that after the core individual score exceeds 30 points, the score is inversely proportional to the team's winning rate.
Unless your teammates are really not in good shape, try not to focus on attacking yourself, which hurts.
In this game, Qin Yang was more of a last resort.
After his own offense attracted the defense, Qin Yang sang to others, and Seth Curry played surprisingly well, scoring 12 points.
Although they were all open shots, Seth Curry played very well.
Cory Brewer also played surprisingly well, the laughing player ran very aggressively, with multiple fast breaks and air cuts, scoring 12 points while also giving Qin Yang 5 assists.
After winning this game, Qin Yang did not deliberately promote his data.
Qin Yang is used to this kind of data.
After playing this game, the Mavericks finally ushered in a three-day rest day, but these three days were very troublesome for Qin Yang.
Qin Yang finally reached an agreement after many discussions with Adidas.
Funded and endorsed by Qinyang, funded and serviced by Adidas, the two jointly establish a subsidiary of Adidas, with Qinyang holding 48% of the shares and Adidas holding 52% of the shares.
And as a result, he launched his own sneakers, which were distributed simultaneously around the world.
It's not news that a player has become a shareholder in the company.
For example, Wade's endorsement of Li Ning is the price of becoming a shareholder of Li Ning.
But this stake is very small, only about 1-3 percent. This stake is more of a symbol of interest. It doesn't make much practical sense.
But Qin Yang's idea is very special.
At the cost of personal sneaker endorsement, a company is established directly.
