Chapter 475: The First Round Begins

In the last game of the regular season, Qin Yang did not play.

On the contrary, Qin Yang accompanied Lily to take a good turn in the metropolis of Los Angeles, shopping, watching movies, and Qin Yang made up for the company he didn't have time this year.

This season, the regular season is very short and the schedule is intensive.

The players themselves have to fly around, it's hard to play, there's no time for their families, and this season, the players are either on their way to the away game or playing.

Spending time with family?

It's just a luxury.

Many players have red lights in their homes as a result.

Even Lily was angry with Qin Yang because of this.

The playoffs are just around the corner, and it's time for Qin Yang to spend time with Lily.

After a day of shopping, Qin Yang warmed up at home again, and the time came to April 28th.

On the 28th, the first game of the playoffs, the Kings hosted the Clippers.

Before the game, the media made predictions for this round:

"The game between the Kings and the Clippers will be a good game, at the end of the season, the Kings have beaten the Clippers by a big beat, but as the game continues, the Clippers run in more and more smoothly, the record is very good, if it is not for the impact of injuries, the Clippers will have the best record this season."

"The Clippers and Kings have a high probability of qualifying."

When Qin Yang saw this news, he was very disdainful in his heart.

As the league's tactics and rules evolve, point guards like Paul will become less and less popular. Because the point guard will need to contribute more and more on the offensive end, and the assist will continue to weaken.

Location blurring, which is the trend in the NBA.

Many people say that the current tactics of the NBA are many times one big and four small.

This is not a mistake.

The Kings are playing a similar role now, when attacking, Darko is often on the outside, attracting defense is one thing, and on the other hand, when Darko catches the ball on the outside, few people can interfere in place.

Big man pitchers are a very big threat on the offensive end.

Before the game even started, Sacramento's home stadium was full of stars.

Although Sacramento is the capital of California, it is not that famous.

It's as if Washington is the capital of the United States, but the real big cities are New York and Los Angeles, and the rest of the city is rural, and there is no comparison with them.

But today, Sacramento's home stadium was packed.

Governor, Sacramento Chambermaster (prevent river crabs, non-typos.) The Kings boss and others came here to watch the game, and other movie stars were in droves.

The Clippers played very unrestrained and attracted a lot of fans, and the Kings are a strong team in the league, and the league is now the only player who can attract Chinese fans, and the ratings are guaranteed.

The game hasn't officially started yet, and the ratings are already swishing up.

NBA Data Center.

More than a dozen NBA executives watched the ratings continue to climb, and the looks on their faces became more and more beautiful.

"Exceeded!"

Someone exclaimed in a low voice.

The game between the Kings and the Clippers has reached the peak of the first round of ratings in the NBA playoffs. Historically, there has never been such a rating in the first round of the playoffs.

"What do you think?"

President Stern said to the bald man next to him.

Adam Shaw nodded:

"China is a big factor, and the Clippers are a very talkative team. Such a game is bound to attract fans. ”

Adam Shaw made no secret of his intentions.

Stern nodded.

…………

The competition has officially begun.

Cousins and DeAndre Jordan jump ball.

The probability of Cousins winning the jump ball this season is very, very high, because Cousins' bounce and reach are excellent, and there are few people in the league who can match it.

But DeAndre Jordan is no slouch at all.

In terms of defensive efficiency under the basket this season, DeAndre Jordan ranks in the top 10, even one level higher than Cousins.

So, a lot of people are boasting that the Clippers have a big three.

Chris Paul is one, Griffin is one, and DeAndre Jordan is also one.

Qin Yang almost vomited when he heard this, he was also a superstar, isn't it funny.

But now the league is getting more and more huddles, and many teams are leaving a spot for stars, so the number of superstars is also increasing.

Even half of the teams in the league seem to be about to have a big three.

Where did the alliance come from so many giants?

Cousins jumped the ball, and he was not convinced in his heart, because in the regular season, Cousins lost to DeAndre Jordan twice.

This time, Cousins really fought it.

A little early, he dialed the ball to Qin Yang.

The jump ball won, and Cousins was so happy that he waved his arms and shouted.

Qin Yang was also quite speechless.

Kings attack.

Qin Yang took the ball and started playing singles directly.

The first ball is often the team's boss singles, and at this time in the playoffs, Qin Yang will not be polite,

Defending Qin Yang was Randy Foye. Kalombartler went to defend Grant Hill.

In this game, the Kings started a big change.

Qin Yang, Cousins, Darko, Grant Hill, Francisco Garcia starts, and the Clippers are Chris Paul, Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Caron Butler, and Randy Foye.

Grant Hill is a veteran, and he was Jordan's successor at the beginning, and now although his strength has dropped greatly, he is very experienced in handling the ball.

In the playoffs, veteran experience matters.

Dribbling over half the court, Qin Yang dribbled behind his back and broke through directly.

Randy Ferye was under a lot of pressure, just following Qin Yang, changing direction twice in a row, Randy Ferye couldn't stand it a little and directly took half a step back.

If he didn't retreat, Qin Yang would easily break through.

But at this time, Qin Yang stepped back directly and made an easy three-point shot.

Sou!

Three-point shot.

On the first ball, Qin Yang took the lead with his signature moves.

The Clippers attack.

Paul dribbled directly and broke through, Francesco Garcia just followed, but in close range under the basket, Paul made a direct stop and threw in a ghostly rhythm.

The basketball gently goes into the net.

The Clippers trailed by one point.

At first, no one cared.

But Qin Yang felt that this game was stable.

In fact, it is exactly what it is.

The Kings began to play quickly and not fight hard with the Clippers.

Qin Yang dribbled over the half, Grant Hill directly covered, after the cover, Qin Yang broke through, attracted the defense and passed to Darko, Darko broke through with the ball, played high, shot decisively, Griffin defended very hard.

During the regular season, Griffin was often criticized for not caring defensively.

But...... In the playoffs, Griffin defended very hard in this game.

But defensively sometimes depends on talent.

Qin Yang was passed by a short defender, and he was more helpless, this is talent.

Darko is much taller than Griffin and has a much better reach, and this ball is obviously high and high, finding an opportunity to make a decisive shot.

At close range, it was almost equivalent to an empty shot, and it was an easy hit.

Among the leagues, Pau Gasol likes to use this trick the most, and he uses it very angrily, followed by Channing Fry.

This kind of tall inside, when the misalignment is misplaced, he likes to score in this way, and the opponent is very helpless.

Dakko Qin Yang, Qin Yang stepped forward to high-five and celebrate.

"Well done!"
