Chapter 410: Looking Forward to the Playoffs (Part I)
Against the Spurs away, Qin Yang played fiercely and played very well, but the Kings still lost.
There is an absolute gap in tactics, and there is no suspense about losing.
But at the end of the game, the Kings players were not discouraged, but felt a trace of resentment:
I almost won, if only I played better.
Darko, in particular, covered his face with a towel after the game and kept silent.
In this match, the worst performance of the two teams was Darko.
In the whole game, Darko was 3 of 13, and the shooting percentage was not mentioned, anyway, he was doubted by Duncan.
Daktronics is good both technically and physically, and the shortcomings are in the mentality.
In the past, Darko was trained too badly by Larry Brown, and even if he went to other teams later, he had no status.
So much so that after Darko got the opportunity this season, he had a strong desire to perform.
However, the lack of game experience made Darko play very poorly at critical moments. Sometimes, strength doesn't mean performance on the field.
Many people think that Qin Yang's playing is really stable and rarely makes mistakes.
But no one knows that Qin Yang is in the virtual training space, fighting back and forth, can he be unstable like this?
In the final analysis, Dakko entered the league in 03, and now it has been more than seven years, and he is 25 years old, but in these seven years, the time to participate in the competition is very short, and it is not even as long as half of Qin Yang's more than two years.
That's the gap.
was beaten so badly, Qin Yang didn't say anything unpleasant.
After the game, he focused on comforting Darko.
"Darko, it's a very good experience to be able to play against Duncan, and you can get a lot of experience in these thirty minutes of matchup." Qin Yang patted Darko on the shoulder, and Darko was still in a mood.
"The first time I faced Chris Paul and Billups and others, I was taught a terrible lesson, and at that time, I didn't dare to play against them, but later, I beat them and they didn't dare to play against me."
Qin Yang smiled naturally.
Darko was also much better under Qin Yang's comfort.
After comforting his teammates, Qin Yang went to the Spurs and greeted his opponent.
Ginobili and Qin Yang had a good relationship, and they chatted a few more words, and Qin Yang also whispered a few words to Duncan.
Post-match press conference.
Duncan:
"Dacomilisic is a very talented player, yes, he didn't get a chance in the first few years of the league, but he's still young, 25 is just a bit of maturity for an interior player, and I'm sure he has a really good future."
Duncan was bullish on Darko, and the news spread throughout the league the next day.
That night, Qin Yang called to thank Duncan.
Duncan's words were naturally said for the sake of Qin Yang's face.
Under normal circumstances, Duncan rarely praises people, and unless he meets a genius like James, Duncan is dumbfounded.
On the 12th, they played away against the Hornets.
It's hard for the Hornets to make the playoffs.
After Chris Paul left, the Hornets lost in a row, and they lost their temper.
The Hornets uniform team also had no problem with this, leaving the Hornets players to play on their own.
The quality of rookies next season is good, and since the Hornets are rebuilt, they will definitely be rotten, so they have no pursuit of winning the game at all.
In this case, the away game is fairly simple.
The two teams played a tacit game, and the offensive battle between the two sides played well.
Qin Yang's data of 22 points and 16 assists easily led the team to victory.
A total of 21 people from both sides scored double-doubles, and staged a wonderful offensive battle, the fans were happy to watch, and the uniform groups of both sides were also happy.
The Hornets are one step closer to a good draft pick, and the Kings are much more secure from the playoffs.
After an away game.
On the 14th, the Kings hosted the Warriors.
The Warriors are still a belly of fish this season. The backcourt combination of Monta Alice and Stephen Curry is a threat on the offensive end, but the team is weak.
This game is the moment for the Kings to play inside.
Darko had 29 points and 13 rebounds, Cousins had 15 points and 9 rebounds, and Landry had 16 points and 4 rebounds, and the three of them crushed the Warriors.
With a 48-25 rebounding advantage, the Kings easily won in the third quarter.
Qin Yang had almost no effort, getting 12 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds.
The inside advantage is big, and the game is too easy to play.
On March 16, the Kings host the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers Qin Yang is very familiar, but the opponent of this game, Qin Yang is not familiar, now the Cavaliers are starting and subs, Qin Yang only knows one Gibson, and everyone else has changed.
What's even more frustrating is that some of Qin Yang's old teammates did not play.
For example, Vallejo and others.
Before the game, Qin Yang also called Valejo, and Vallejo replied depressedly: "The team has begun to release water for next year's champion signing." ”
Qin Yang shook his head and said nothing.
Normally, after the All-Star break, the game gets really interesting.
Basically, the games after that, are either very difficult to play or very easy to play.
Difficult opponents, all for the playoffs, or for the playoffs rehearsal, are very strong and in good shape.
Opponents who are easy to play are working hard for next year's draft and are happy to lose, as long as they lose but are not ugly.
After all, the more you lose, the better the draft pick.
The Cavaliers are the latter.
In a normal game, the opponents Qin Yang faced were a bunch of players he had never heard of, and he was not known in the league at all.
There are just a couple of temporary workers, and the Cavaliers can terminate their contracts after this season.
In such a competition, the results speak for themselves.
The Kings are still winning very easily.
On the 18th, the Kings hosted the 76ers.
The 76ers are hovering on the edge of the playoffs, and they are really fighting for the playoffs, and if they can't make the playoffs this year, the 76ers are about to rebuild.
In this game, Qin Yang thought that he would win easily.
But...... When you really get to the game, it's uncomfortable.
Iguodala, nicknamed Little AI, targeted Qin Yang all over the court, and Qin Yang was very depressed by the defense.
In the whole game, Qin Yang was 8 of 23, 12 of 14 free throws, and got 33 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds, but the Kings still lost.
The 76ers lack a superstar, but the overall quality of the players is strong.
The starters Jrue Holiday, Iguodala, Brand, Daim Porter and others were all excellent, and the substitutes Louis Williams and Thaddeus Young were all good players.
The 76ers fought hard all over the court and were in better shape, suppressing the Kings on the road.
After a few easy games in a row, the Kings lost weakly against the 76ers.
Qin Yang was also very depressed.
After this game, March is almost towards the end of the month, and there are still 15 games left in the season.
After that, it's the 2010-2011 playoffs.
The teams have started their final sprint.
