Chapter 174: The Role of Superstars

The Brandonbass score is just the beginning.

The Pistons' offense is not good, which is the reason why the Pistons are really helpless.

Starkey and Qin Yang have similar characteristics, they are tall and large two-way guards, and when they played against the Celtics in the playoffs, they used to perform very sophisticated, and they were even better than Billups, so they got the attention of Pistons general manager Thomas.

But in fact, Starkey is suitable to be a second-in-command or a third-in-command, rather than forcibly supporting the boss.

In the past few seasons, Starki's performance has become worse and worse, and it has been a bit wasted.

Being beaten and losing confidence is the scariest thing for a player.

Starki faced Qin Yang, timid, and his performance was miserable, but Wilburnham played well, ran one after another and forced shots, hitting some balls.

But it's not about the big picture.

Qin Yang shot one after another on the outside, hit three three-pointers in a row, and the Pistons called a timeout, the Pistons team is a traditional defensive powerhouse, and it is helpless to encounter Qin Yang's unreasonable three-point shot.

After the pause, as long as Qin Yang has a little shooting space outside the three-point line, it is an unceremonious bag for the two.

The Pistons were trapped, and Qin Yang casually passed the ball to Redick and Matt Barnes.

Redick made 0-of-1 three-pointers and 3-of-3 two-pointers, leaving the Pistons frustrated, while Matt Barnes and Blandonbass also took the opportunity to hit easy shots.

Qin Yang finally showed some of the qualities of a superstar at this time.

At the critical moment, he shot himself, scored, and can also attract defense and assist teammates to score, which is a method only superstars, but unlike other superstars, Qin Yang's method of attracting defense is even more incredible.

The league's superstars attract defense, which generally fall into two types.

One is players like James Verdros, who rely on super physical fitness to break through, and one person can't defend at all, so he can only limit himself by combining defenses and packing.

This is the most genre of superstars.

The second is the approach of Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant and Paul Pearce, relying on a kaleidoscope of offense to play the opposing players helplessly, and finally the opponent chooses to help defend and pack at any time.

With the superstar engaging the defense, it's much easier for teammates to score.

That's what superstars are really all about.

Many people say that whether or not they can score at critical moments is the only way to measure whether a superstar is the true core, which makes sense, but it is biased.

If the tactics are right, the superstar with a bunch of role players can pull away in the first three quarters, and then why do you need the so-called key moments.

At critical moments, more consideration is given to the comprehensive quality and big heart of the superstar.

Qin Yang is different from ordinary superstars, Qin Yang attracts defense outside the three-point line, as long as there is a little space, Qin Yang can shoot wildly, in this case, the opponent has to put the defensive center on Qin Yang.

As long as the attack is slightly strengthened, Qin Yang attracts the defense, and his teammates get their chance.

This ability to attract defense is not the same as that of previous superstars.

Outside the three-point line attracts defense. There's a lot of room in the game, and teammates can attack in any way they want, from mid-range, threes from the corner, breakaway layups, and outside threes. There are many ways for teammates to choose from, and even after a teammate receives the ball, it can be easily passed on to another open player.

But if James or Anthony draw the defense, the rest of the guys tend to be very fixed.

Because James is in the close-range position under the basket, Anthony is also in the mid-range position, after occupying space in this position, the position is close to two meters around, and it is difficult for other teammates to get offensive opportunities, and teammates have very little space to play, and there are few options available.

This is the difference between Qin Yang and other superstars.

The most obvious change is that Qin Yang and Qin Song stood outside the three-point line and gave the ball to Redick, who suddenly accelerated to the basket and met Ben Wallace's letting go and passed to Gortat, who hit a mid-range shot.

In the process, Blandonbass covered, Redick broke through the pass, and Gotatra opened up space before receiving the ball.

The trio worked well together and everyone acted like stars.

Qin Yang attracted the defense, and he played more and less inside the three-point line, so he was easy to play.

Basketball is a sport to share.

Relying on a superstar to carry the team forward, that is teasing, after Qin Yang attracts the defense like this, his teammates get plenty of room to play, and he will not become a weak chicken who can only catch the ball and shoot, and if he doesn't hit, he will take the blame.

That's why superstars are often complained about for their teammates.

Qin Yang deposited for a period of time after attracting the defense, handed the ball to his teammates, and his teammates played very happily, especially after Vince Carter came on the court in the third quarter, Qin Yang became a weak chicken three-point point guard who dribbled over half the court and handed the ball to his teammates.

The Magic team played well in the third quarter except for Qin Yang. Qin Yang only hit two unreasonable three-pointers, so that the Pistons had to not relax their defense.

Judging from the data, Qin Yang's performance is average, and his teammates are very good, but from the court, you can find out how much Qin Yang has helped the Magic team.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Qin Yang was out of the game, and the score difference had come to 15+.

On the court, Qin Yang didn't feel tired, because he came and went several times, Qin Yang watched his teammates play outside the three-point line, and the only thing that played a role was the defensive end, and the outside line was very powerful.

No one doesn't like such a core.

At the end of the game, Qin Yang was 11 of 18, 6 of 12 three-pointers, and scored 28 points, 8 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, helping the team win the game.

Howard played badly, was plagued by fouls, played 26 minutes, scored 12 points and 7 rebounds, and left the court with 6 fouls.

But the Magic still won easily.

Blantonbas, Redick and Matt Barnes were surprisingly good, but it was Ryan Anderson, who had been playing well, out of sorts.

When Vince Carter was off the court, he performed well as an organizational striker and led the whole team.

Of course, the most important thing is that in the face of a playoff-level team like the Pistons, the Magic team won so strongly without suspense, which surprised many people.

TNT News:

"In the face of the Pistons, the Magic team performed unexpectedly strongly, especially Qin Yang, who was very sluggish on the offensive end in the first three games, and this game turned out to be a strong outburst, hitting many times outside the three-point line, attracting the bag and helping the Magic team play a smooth offense."

"This ability to attract a bag from beyond the three-point line is the first time in the NBA."

"This season, the Magic are definitely the favorites to win the championship. The most traditional team building model, one inside and one outside, has once again exerted its power. ”
