Chapter 316: Stealing the scene
Hearing Howard's words, Qin Yang didn't want to beat him to death.
Howard is brain-dead, and the position of the Magic team is configured for him, but Howard lost himself at a critical moment and did not stand up.
Qin Yang took a deep breath and said, "Dwight, this is your team, you have to carry him forward, not lose your goal, you know?" โ
"If the Magic want to win, there is no other way, the only way is to completely overwhelm them on the inside, as long as Bynum and Pau Gasol are limited, the Magic will win."
"So the outcome depends on you."
Qin Yang said the answer, this answer was obvious, but unfortunately Howard didn't understand.
Qin Yang made a crazy shot in the last game, he felt very good, and the hit rate was very high, so he barely won one game, and in the next game, who dares to say that the Magic team will continue to win? Qin Yang didn't dare to say it. If the Magic team wants to win, there is only one way, that is, Howard has an absolute advantage on the inside, and it is impossible for Qin Yang on the outside to face Kobe and Artest alone and blow the two up.
Artest's defense is too powerful, Kobe's defensive scale is too large, even in every game, the referee's scale is very small, and Qin Yang only has a little hope to be able to gain an advantage on the outside.
Therefore, if the Magic team wins, it depends on Howard.
Howard got an affirmative answer and was in a much better mood: "Thank you, Bruce, I'll work on it next." โ
In the afternoon, the competition officially began.
During the warm-up time entering the court, Bryant was interviewed by the media:
"We didn't have any problems, and if anything, there were some small disputes for the championship, which made us play harder, which is a good thing."
Kobe Bryant responded to the media's questions very blandly.
Qin Yang heard this not far away, and almost didn't spew out.
It's really a mystery of self-confidence!
At the start of the game, Howard jumped the ball and beat Bynum to get the ball.
The Magic team attacked, and Qin Yang's first ball broke through directly by Artest. Artest was very depressed when he didn't foul in the last game, and he didn't dare to start directly in this game.
Leaning on Artest to enter the mid-distance position, Qin Yang threw the ball directly towards the basket.
Howard jumps and goes straight for a dunk.
bang๏ผ
Howard wants to make a move, Qin Yang will definitely not be unwilling, now Howard just wants to show his strength, Qin Yang is very willing to cooperate, after this dunk, Howard is very happy.
"Well done."
"Of course, remember to pass the ball to me."
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant didn't feel good, and hit the iron on the first ball.
The Magic team attacked, Rashad Lewis went to the left side after the block, Qin Yang broke through to attract the defense, faked the fax shot, and was in the middle of the bag, facing Artest and Kobe Bryant to hit the board from mid-range.
As soon as the game began, Howard and Qin Yang each hit a good shot.
But then, the situation is different.
The Lakers attacked, and Pau Gasol was the pivot and directly assisted Kobe Bryant, who was running without the ball, to score a layup.
Kobe's strength lies in the combination of without the ball and with the ball, there are very few people who can win the championship with the ball in hand all the time, almost non-existent, and Jordan's ability to win the ball is not weak.
Qin Yang passed Petrus and hit the three-point shot.
Pau Gasol hits mid-range shot.
Howard was fouled and made 1-of-2 from the free-throw line.
Bryant hit from mid-range.
Qin Yang's three-point shot hit the iron.
In the first quarter, after scoring two good goals, the Magic team began to play the iron journey, which could not be stopped, and after the first quarter, the Magic team was 11 points behind.
It's embarrassing.
It seems that the situation of the game has decided again.
As soon as Howard thought about it, he was fouled, Pau Gasol and Bynum played very resolutely, not giving Howard a chance to get up, and Qin Yang was 1 of 5 in a single quarter, if it wasn't for 3 of 3 free throws, Qin Yang would have been completely pitted in the first quarter.
Breaks.
Coach Van Gundy pulled Qin Yang and whispered:
"Bruce pay attention to the tactics, the tactics, Rashad Lewis only had one shot in the first quarter, which is too little, he's your teammate, the main player on the team, you have to believe in him,"
"You can't win alone without your teammates."
Van Gundy's voice was unusually heavy.
This was the first time Qin Yang had heard such a lesson.
Most of the players in the league are brain-dead, especially most of the blacks, who really don't know anything except physical fitness and play. Qin Yang is not like this, it will naturally make people feel different.
Coach Van Gundy has been very satisfied with Qin Yang since he joined.
"I see, Coach."
Qin Yang said very honestly, he has indeed been a little slack recently, he only feels that the team's lineup does not match him, and he thinks that Rashad Lewis has greatly reduced his state after being injured, and it is a bit unworthy of the name to become a starter.
But...... In fact, this is not the case.
Rashad Lewis is still a very good spatial interior in the league, and even if he is slow and weak defensively, Rashad Lewis has a clear advantage.
The second quarter begins.
The Magic team attacked, Qin Yang broke through again with the help of the cover of Rashad Lewis, Pau Gasol stepped forward to assist in the defense, Artest assisted in the defense, Qin Yang did not hesitate when he saw this, and passed directly to Rashad Lewis.
Bryant stepped forward to help defend, and Rashad Lewis relied on his height advantage to shoot directly.
Sou!
The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.
In this game, Rashad Lewis felt very well, Qin Yang could see it, the whole shooting rhythm was extremely comfortable, and Kobe Bryant was helpless at all.
In fact, as a projection-type power forward, Rashad Lewis's strength is undoubted, but after a serious injury, his speed has dropped significantly, and his strength has decreased a lot compared to before.
After listening to Qin Yang's words, Howard was ready to fight.
But who knows that grabbing rebounds under the basket has been ready for a long time, and basketball just doesn't hit iron.
After Qin Yang calmed down in the second quarter, Rashad Lewis hit five consecutive shots. After Rashad Lewis attracted some defense, Qin Yang's shooting rate also recovered, 3 of 5, and he scored 10 points and 5 assists in a single quarter.
In the third quarter, Qin Yang went to rest.
The Magic are still playing well.
To be precise, Rashad Lewis played well, shooting 5 of 7 in the third quarter, still as steady as a dog, and at the same time got 3 rebounds and 4 assists, which directly stunned the Lakers.
In this game, the protagonist of the Magic team became Rashad Lewis.
Qin Yang and Howard were suddenly robbed of the show.
In the fourth quarter, Rashad Lewis was still in great shape and played very well.
Rashard Lewis played well, and the most important thing is to be able to score consistently, and at the same time, he can pass the ball well and attract the defence, which many players can't do.
Brandonbass and Gortat were awkward with their passes, and their ability to draw defenders was mediocre.
As a result, after the game, Rashad Lewis was dumbfounded and got 41 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, which blinded a group of people.
