Chapter 220: Three Powers (1st Update)
Many people think that the gap between NBA players is very large, but in fact, the gap between players is not as big as imagined, even if it is a role player, as long as they work hard, the play is often more critical than the average starter.
Amondesson is one such player.
As a former star on the NCAA court, Louis Armondson was directly selected in the draft, but he played well in the NBDL and got the opportunity to enter the NBA.
Amondsson looks ordinary at first glance and his stats on the pitch are not stellar.
Stuck in position, grabbed rebounds, and fought hard to defend. Amondson doesn't care about the data, he is willing to do the dirty work, and in the bench time, Amunderson actually made Brandonbass's defense very uncomfortable, shooting 1 of 5, and it was a big loss.
In this case, the Magic's point differential has widened.
Qin Yang was a little speechless.
In the eighth minute of the third quarter, Qin Yang came on the court, and the Magic team was already 12 points behind, and if they didn't play, the Magic team would have no chance.
Attacking with the ball, Qin Yang faced Richardson's defense, directly accelerated and stopped, then pulled the ball after stepping back, and after shaking off the center of gravity, Qin Yang directly shot a three-point shot.
Boom!
The three-point shot hit the iron, and Qin Yang got a chance, but the ball felt a little worse.
Under the basket, Amonderson flicked the ball out on Blantonbas, and Dudley got the rebound. Ryan Anderson was very little useful at this time.
Dragic dribbled over the halfcourt, the Suns advanced slowly, Dudley stepped forward to make a cover, and then rushed straight to the basket, Qin Yang defended Dragic, and would not give him a chance to break through and shoot at all, but Dragic gave Dudley a very secure lob to Dudley, and Dudley quickly attacked with the ball and went straight to the basket.
Armondson got stuck and after a delay, Dudley scored on a layup.
Ryan Anderson's defense was too poor to keep up with the pace, and Blantonbass was stuck in position by Amondson when he tried to defend, and the speed was a little slower.
The difference is 14 points.
Coach Van Gundy called a timeout, and Howard came on to replace Ryan Anderson.
The Magic team attacked, Qin Yang did not panic after dribbling the ball over half court, after Howard stepped forward to make a cover, Qin Yang broke through directly, and then passed the ball to Howard halfway.
Howard scored a direct dunk.
The Suns attacked, Dragic broke through with the help of cover on the outside, and after Qin Yang defended, Dragic passed, Dudley hit a three-pointer, and the difference widened again.
The Magic attacked, Qin Yang passed to Redick, Redick hit the iron from the middle distance, and Howard got the rebound.
Then with a tick, Amondson fouled.
Howard glared at Amonderson, who raised his hand and admitted that he had fouled, and there was no extra movement, and no one on the Suns quibbled about the foul.
Slash shark tactics!
Qin Yang was a little helpless.
Howard made free throws, and finally came to a 2-of-2 shot, which is very rare. As the Suns continued to attack, Howard grabbed a defensive rebound.
After halftime, Qin Yang passed Howard, and Howard did not jump and dunk directly, but turned around and dunked after being stuck.
Amondson fouls again.
Howard's face was black.
1 of 2 free throws.
"It can't be played like this, the shark slashing tactics go on like this, and the teammates have no chance to attack, and the rest of the time, there is no way to close the score at all."
Qin Yang was a little panicked in his heart, he used to ...... Such tactics have never been encountered.
"Dwight, pay attention to the air cut, don't attack with the ball, I'll increase the shot later, you grab the rebound."
Qin Yang grabbed Howard and explained in a low voice, Howard nodded: "Don't worry, I'm under the basket." ”
The Magic team attacked, after Redick stepped forward to make a cover, Qin Yang jumped directly to shoot a three-point shot, Dudley was a beat slower, and Qin Yang easily shot without pressure.
Sou!
A three-pointer was hit, and the difference was closer.
The Suns attacked, Dragic broke through after blocking and dismantling, and went straight to the basket, Qin Yang chased after him from behind, and a chasing big hat went out.
After coming to chase the big hat several times in a row, Qin Yang felt extremely smooth.
This kind of big hat can release emotions the most, and perhaps the only embarrassing thing is that this kind of block is actually not very helpful to the defense, interfering with a shot, teammates can still get rebounds, but after this chasing big hat, the ball must be the opponent's.
From the perspective of data, Qin Yang's chasing hat is of little significance.
But for fans and experts, such a chasing hat can best reflect the defensive strength of the player, and the conscientious defense for more than ten minutes in a game is not as impressive as this block.
The Suns serve, and Dudley shoots the iron.
Howard got the rebound.
When Howard is on the court, the rebounding protection is really much better, which is one of Howard's greatest talents.
After dribbling over half the court, Qin Yang took a step outside the three-point line, directly lowered his body to accelerate the breakthrough, and then quickly retreated after a sharp stop, and retreated to two steps outside the three-point line to shoot.
Dudley apparently didn't react.
Sou!
Three-point shot from long range.
In the front position, Qin Yang's ultra-long-distance three-point shot accuracy is quite high, and since Howard is on the inside, Qin Yang doesn't have to be polite.
The Suns attacked, Qin Yang misplaced the defense, Richardson hit the iron, and Howard grabbed the rebound again.
Amondson was embarrassed at this time.
If Amondson fouls while Howard is attacking, it's a shark slashing tactic, but if he fouls when his own side is attacking, it's a bit more than worth the loss.
Qin Yang accelerated the breakthrough this time, pulled the ball and retreated, and then worshiped the Buddha, and after the breakthrough, he attracted the defense and assisted Brandonbas to hit.
The Suns attacked, and Dragic assisted Richardson for a three-pointer.
A group of Suns are near the three-point line, and Howard is alone on the inside, unable to defend it, and at this time, it is easy for the outside line to get out of the gap.
The Magic team attacked, Qin Yang stopped and accelerated, and after the crossover, he suddenly jumped out and hit the board.
The teammates can't stand up, Qin Yang just needs to make a move.
The last opportunity to attack, Qin Yang directly dragged the time, and only made a move in the last three seconds, jumping up directly, with his height advantage, Qin Yang shot very casually.
Sou!
Three-point shot.
The third quarter ended quickly, with the Magic trailing by six points.
Back on the bench, Qin Yang took the towel handed over by his teammates and said thank you.
"It's a tough game."
Qin Yang whispered to Vince Carter, who was ready to play.
"It's true that the whistle is very strict and the scale is very small." Vince Carter added, not saying much. In fact, any team that plays against the Suns will have a smaller scale.
A fan-attracting campaign like the Suns is definitely something the league has to support.
The penalty scale is naturally smaller.
This made the Magic team a little uncomfortable, especially when compared to the last game, it felt a little hard to accept, and many teammates didn't feel good about defense and offense.
The fourth quarter begins.
