Chapter 272: Life Never Ends, No Waves Stop (2nd Update)
The last time against the Mavericks, the suspense of the Magic team's victory was not big, Qin Yang blew up the outside line of the Mavericks, making the Mavericks unable to limit on the defensive end, and it was expected that the Magic team won.
But this game, it's a different story.
At the beginning of the game, Qin Yang took the lead and was not polite.
Caron Butler defended Qin Yang, not as good as Prince defensively, Qin Yang shot three times in the first four balls, 2 of 3, 3 of 3 free throws, and the Mavericks had to call a timeout in three minutes.
When the timeout came back, the Mavericks' defensive strategy changed.
Caron Butler only followed Qin Yang, and Jason Kidd and Sean Marion were almost assistant defenders, encircling Qin Yang, and this package was very decisive.
When encountering a bag, even a superstar has to be helpless.
After Qin Yang hit the iron once, he passed the ball to his teammates.
Wrapping Qin Yang, Barnes and Petrus all got the opportunity to shoot in the open space.
But an embarrassing scene appeared, Petrus struck iron, iron, iron, and iron, Barnes was slightly better, but the shooting percentage of 1 in 2 was also very tight. Instead, it was Rashad Lewis who stepped up 2-of-3 at this time to save some of the score.
The outside Mavericks wrapped Qin Yang, and their teammates couldn't stand up.
At the critical moment, an embarrassing scene for the Magic team appeared.
After hitting the iron one after another, the Mavericks quickly reversed the score and pulled away.
Eight minutes into the first quarter, the Magic called a timeout.
"Cover, cover for Bruce, Bruce has a chance to make a decisive shot, and the others pay attention to the impact of the basket and go under the basket to score when they don't feel good. Dwight, the team needs your deterrence under the basket, whether it's offense or defense, you have to do better. ”
Coach Van Gundy made a simple and straightforward arrangement.
At this time, complex tactics do not work, and the outside projection is not accurate, the most direct way is to increase the breakthrough, directly impact the basket, the shooting rate under the basket is greatly increased, and it is possible to win free throws.
But the Magic didn't do well in the final four minutes.
Qinyang is 1 out of 2 on the outside line, and he played in a hurry.
The Mavericks' defense against Qin Yang is not relaxed at all, Qin Yang faces the double bag, and the shooting is a little hasty, even if he is lucky to be two in one, but the next is mainly passing.
But the Magic players didn't attack the basket very well.
Nowitzki is not known for his defense, but it's not that Nowitzki's defense is poor, 1 steal and 1 block in the first quarter beat the Magic team, and Brandon Haywood's defensive ability is not weak, and the Magic team's layup shooting percentage is surprisingly low, and it is very difficult to play.
Every score seems to have been obtained by chance, and most of the shots are ushered in by striking iron.
At the end of the first quarter, the Magic trailed a rare 23-28 at home.
Howard's face was very good when he came off the court.
"Dwight, this game is not very easy to play, everyone is not feeling good." Qin Yang sat on the bench and talked to Howard, who nodded depressedly.
Pierus and Barnes hit the Mavericks' undercover shots in the quarter.
"You have a chance, even if you shoot, if you can't rely on others, I'll grab a rebound for you." Howard said angrily at this time. It's been more than half a season, and Howard knows that the Magic team's offense still has to rely on Qin Yang, and the outside line can't be opened, and it is difficult to win just by relying on Howard's own advantage on the inside.
"Okay, I'll try!"
Qin Yang played 6 minutes in the second quarter, the Magic team's backward point difference was expanding, and it felt like this thing was spreading, Ryan Anderson and Blanton Bass also felt cold today, Ryan Anderson was 0 in 3 and was directly replaced, so if it continues, the Magic team will be 20 points behind at halftime.
This is a shame for the Magic team that aims to win the championship.
Qin Yang came on the field and directly turned on the wave mode.
Well, if you hit someone, it's called a big heart, and the play of a superstar, if you don't hit, it's a wave of investment.
Double bag, Caron Butler didn't worry about being broken by Qin Yang at all, and directly interfered with the shooting, although Sean Marion next to him stepped forward to assist in defense, Jason Kidd also assisted in defense.
Faced with this situation, Qin Yang's speed of action accelerated again.
All along, Qin Yang has been learning the three-point shooting skills of Kevin Daniel, a superstar who will record three-point shots in the future, but Kevin Daniel is different from Qin Yang, the future superstar, has a very keen sense, even if there are three people around him, he can still shoot quickly, and avoid interference and steals around him.
It's as if Kevin Daniel opened more than one eye.
Qin Yang's shooting speed has always been inferior to Kevin Daniel, it's not that Qin Yang doesn't want to learn, but he has always felt that learning is not necessary, and now Qin Yang's speed is already the top in the league, and no one is faster than Qin Yang.
Even Stephen Curry, who was in the virtual training room, was only a little faster than Qin Yang now at his peak.
But now, when Qin Yang encounters this kind of bag, he feels that he is weak.
The shot is still not fast enough!
That's the case with a millimeter of missing a thousand miles.
Strike iron, strike iron, strike iron.
CCV Live Room.
Teacher Wei Ping sighed:
"Hey, I didn't hit again, and I hit the iron again, Qin Yang didn't feel good in this game, and he forced too many shots, but he can't be blamed for this, the rest of the Magic team felt too bad in this game, Petrus has already hit 0 in 5, and if it goes on like this, the Magic team's shooting rate must be less than 40%."
Teacher Zhengping is much more peaceful:
"Many superstars have to go through this process, such as Kobe, who has also played a lot of iron, but if you want to get a high score and win the Finals MVP, such a process is indispensable."
"That's right, Kobe Bryant is a real superstar, he dares to shoot even if he can't shoot, he can shoot, this is a superstar, if Qin Yang doesn't shoot now, then wait until the situation is worse than now, what if he doesn't shoot, it's better to play iron now than to keep hitting iron in a game like the finals."
Hold the grass, yes, it makes sense, I actually believe it.
Anyway, Qin Yang didn't believe this.
There is only one reason why Qin Yang is so crazy to shoot, that is, his teammates can't stand up, as long as Qin Yang's own hit rate is qualified, coupled with Howard's advantage on the inside, this game can still be won.
This was the only factor in the Magic's victory.
But the truth is different from what Qin Yang imagined.
Qin Yang shot faster, and there was a slight change in his shooting, which brought about a sharp drop in Qin Yang's shooting rate. In the second and third quarters, Qin Yang was 1 out of 7, and he was crazy about iron.
The Magic trailed by 18 points.
It wasn't until the last minute of the third quarter that Qin Yang finally hit a ball in the defense of Caron Butler and Sean Marion, which was different from other balls.
In the process of dribbling, Qin Yang suddenly stopped suddenly, and quickly shot after pulling the ball.
The moment he jumped, he was ready to shoot, his body was still rising, and as soon as he made a shooting action, the basketball flew out, and the whole shooting action was done in one go.
