Westbrook's performance was too bad.

The inefficiency is outrageous, the three-point shot is not ineffective, the basket meets Howard's tenacious defense, and there is no goal, almost Westbrook gets the ball, which means that the Thunder are going to transfer the ball.

Of course, this also has to do with Kevin Durant's play.

The Magic team is playing better and better, the defensive end is very good, Qin Yang is in place to assist the outside line, Matt Barnes is a defensive maniac, Blandonbass is very strong, and the defense is attentive, Petrus was the strongest player on the outside defense of the Magic team last season, plus the Magic team has formed a good competition, no one dares to defend without heart on the court.

Durant was a rare inefficiency, 4-of-12, with 12 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

The Thunder played a little badly.

But the Thunder's bench played well, James Harden stood up when Westbrook was embarrassed, shot 7 of 14, got 24 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, whether it was scoring or organizing the offense, they did a good job, in contrast, Westbrook was not as good as James Harden in this game except for better physical fitness.

The Thunder's interior Ibaka also played well, with a relatively stable mid-range shot, excellent defense, and excellent rebounding ability, which is eye-catching.

The Magic led by 19 points in two quarters, establishing an absolute advantage, and the rest of the time was played off the bench.

Qin Yang was not very happy to win against the Thunder team, the Thunder team's problems were too big, even if Kevin Durant and Westbrook fully played their strength, it would be difficult to win.

The technical characteristics of the two are not compatible, 1+1<2, and it is obvious that they need to be taken apart.

If Kevin Durant can play without the ball and play a lot of power, then James Harden and Westbrook are even more speechless.

Both are point guards and both need a lot of ball possession.

The locations are completely opposite, and there is no way to be compatible at all.

Qin Yang saw it clearly off the court, if James Harden performed better and better, the Thunder's best choice was to trade Westbrook away and choose to build a team with Kevin Durant and James Harden, but Westbrook's performance was also excellent, and no one knew what the Thunder would choose in the end.

After the win, the Magic did not rest and flew directly to Boston the next day to play the Celtics away.

This game is a battle of focus, a battle of the strong, and it is also broadcast live in the United States.

As soon as they got off the plane, the Magic players were surrounded by reporters.

Qin Yang: "The Celtics are a good opponent, they were the champions of the previous year, the Big Three are still in their prime, they are strong, and anyone who ignores them will bear the price, so we will definitely give it our all, as for the result, it doesn't matter, there are still sixty or seventy games left this season, and this is just an ordinary one of them." ”

Howard:

"We knocked out the Celtics last season and Paul Pierce wasn't convinced because Kevin Garnett was out injured and they weren't in their prime, so now it's a good opportunity for them and we're going to prove that the Magic are stronger and deserve to qualify and we're aiming for a championship."

Whether it was Qin Yang or Howard, there was no carelessness.

In fact, contrary to what others think, the Celtics really started the league huddle.

The Lakers' F4 lineup is shameless, but the two superstars who went to the huddle at that time were close to retirement and were role players, but the Celtics' Big Three were really in their prime.

Even after three years of togetherness, the Celtic Big Three are still at the end of their prime.

In more than a year, there is definitely a possibility of winning the championship.

Therefore, Celtic is really fighting.

Qin Yang didn't have any idea of winning the championship in a group, but James used to hate it before, and he complained about the Celtics Big Three in private many times.

The three superstars are in a group at their peak, and they are simply undisciplined.

Before the Celtics, superstars were not at the point where they couldn't lead the team to play, and they definitely wouldn't go to other superstars to win the championship together, which was very undisciplined.

The Celtics were the first to turn on the giant mode.

After that, the triumvirate won the championship and became the mainstream.

The Rockets, the Lakers, all did it, the Lakers won the championship last year, and the Cavaliers lost the possibility of winning the championship because of it, unless they traded for a superstar who can partner with James, it is almost impossible to win the championship.

On the 20th, the competition officially began.

The Celtics kept a low profile before the game and did not give interviews, but at the beginning of the game, they held back their momentum and wanted to teach the Magic team a lesson.

Celtics start, Perkins, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo.

Magic starters, Howard, Rashad Lewis, Matt Barnes, Petrus, Qin Yang.

The two teams started in a-for-tat manner.

Jump ball, Howard won easily.

Qin Yang dribbled past half the court, and Rajan Longdo let go of a small half step, almost following closely, stretching out one arm to interfere with Qin Yang. Rajon Rondo's reach is truly perverted, and at first glance it looks like a gibbon.

With such a physical advantage, playing basketball is too suitable.

However, in the face of this ball, Qin Yang directly accelerated and broke through, and made a three-point shot.

Rajon Rondo was very fast, but he had just jumped up to defend, Qin Yang's three-point shot had already been shot, and Rondo's defense couldn't keep up at all.

Sou!

Three-pointers scored.

Coach Dough Reaves shouted loudly on the sidelines to change the defense, and the first ball was a little unbearable.

The key to Celtic's victory is defense, and there are few defensive shortcomings in five positions, and if an absolute advantage is played in one position, it will be a tragedy for the Celtics.

The Celtics attacked, and Rajon Rondo dribbled past half court and stood up without a breakaway.

Qin Yang stood a meter away and let go of La Jian Longdo, who didn't dare to shoot at all.

CCV TV, Wei Ping Bryant couldn't help but say when he saw this scene: "Rajon Rondo is very steady, looking for opportunities to pass, no one else is out of position, the Celtics can only play slowly, which will enter the rhythm of the Celtics, which is not good for the Magic team." ”

Fortunately, Qin Yang didn't hear such words, otherwise Qin Yang would definitely scold MMP.

With Rondo's shooting level, some people even say that the Celtics Big Three have dragged down Rajon Rondo, saying that Rondo is a real superstar and the core of the Celtics.

Anyway, when Qin Yang was in the right position, he felt very embarrassed.

If others dare to empty themselves like this, Qin Yang can shoot outside the three-point line fifty times in a game, and the opponent can't take care of himself.

Rondo dribbled and eventually passed to Paul Pierce, who singled Petrus with his back to Paul Pierce, who was also very old, but the skills on the offensive end were really good.

After a few slow swings, Pierce found space and shot from mid-range.

Fortunately, Petrus reached out to interfere, and Paul Pierce struck the iron.

Howard grabbed the rebound vigorously.
