Chapter 600: Critical moments, free throws
The league has many definitions of superstars.
But everyone agrees that only superstars who can stand up at critical moments can be recognized.
NBA stars, as long as the hand is smooth, there are many 40+ points, and even 50+ points.
This season has Corey Brewer and previous seasons there was Jennings.
So, being able to step up at a critical moment is the role of a superstar.
The Mavericks made back-to-back turnovers, leaving the team with just two points.
That's the moment of truth.
A basketball game is similar to a battle.
Husband battle courage also!
When the momentum is gone, the game will quickly fall one-sided.
was continuously pulled closer to the score, and many people in the Mavericks were a little retreating in their hearts, and there was a lot of pressure in their hearts.
This ball is given to others, and the probability of mistakes will be greatly increased.
What if I don't score, the team will fall behind, and will I be blamed for the failure?
I have to play this ball steadily, I can't make mistakes, I must go forward.
……
When all kinds of chaotic minds come together, it becomes harder than usual to score.
At the critical moment, Fang showed his true character as a hero.
The Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang took the ball, and faced Kawaii Leonard directly.
Leonard's defense is very good, but he doesn't dare to play in the face of kawaii, it's impossible, Qin Yang is the best defensive player.
Only in this way can the situation be stabilized.
After dribbling over half the court, Qin Yang directly signaled to pull away.
Singles!
On the commentary bench, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley began to mumble like cannonballs:
"Perhaps the best moment of the game was made, and then Bruce singled Leonard."
"Leonard has the best perimeter defensive talent of any outside player in the league, and Bruce has rarely played directly before."
"Dribble, crossover!"
"Breakthrough!"
……
Qin Yang lowered his body, pulled the ball directly after the crossover, and after a quick feint to break through, he pulled the ball back and stepped back, pretending to shoot, and kawaii reacted quickly twice and quickly followed.
Qin Yang worships the Buddha.
Kawaii followed again.
Qin Yang pulled the ball again and stepped back to make a move.
Kawaii followed again.
It's a pity that this time it's a feint again.
After worshipping the Buddha and passing half a step directly, Qin Yang stepped back to the right side, shot a three-point shot, and kawaii jumped up directly and pounced.
As soon as Qin Yang stretched out his hand, he didn't jump up.
After the kawaii arm arrived, Qin Yang jumped up straight, kawaii hit first, and then Qin Yang threw the ball out.
Backbite!
The whistle blew.
It's okay that the basketball jolted and slipped out.
Otherwise, it's a brilliant 3+1.
Free throws, Qin Yang has no suspense in 3 of 3,.
The Mavericks' decline immediately stopped.
** Coach Vicky touched his beard on the sidelines, his face was expressionless, and Leonard no longer had any problems with this defense.
No one else will necessarily be able to defend.
So, this ball is fine. But it is precisely because of this that Vicky will be a little helpless. Any coach wants his team to have such a big killer. is usually as steady as a dog like Duncan, and he takes it out at a critical moment, pointing where to fight.
Among the active players, only Durant and Qin Yang have this ability.
However, Durant is not comprehensive enough, and he is much worse than Qin Yang in terms of passing and organizing offense.
The Spurs attacked, and after Tony Parker made a few passes, Kasby alone played Kasby, and Cosby didn't defend well, but he stuck the position with his body and strength.
Tony Parker hits an iron with a pull-up jumper.
Al Jefferson got the rebound.
Qin Yang held the ball again, Al Jefferson made a cover, this time Qin Yang forced a shot under the basket, and when there was no space, he was sandwiched by the two, stretched out his arm and hooked his hand to hit, playing a 2+1.
Split was depressed and had a headshot in disbelief.
Vicky called a timeout.
Two fairy balls in a row, playing the Spurs are no temper.
After the pause, the Spurs' defense against Qin Yang was tighter and the defensive intensity was greater, which was a trick that the Spurs used.
But it doesn't matter.
Qin Yang has already played a role, and at this time, teammates can stand up.
Cosby finally showed his projection ability, making 2 of 3 from beyond the three-point line and scoring 6 points in a single quarter, and the Spurs did not dare to shrink in the slightest.
Inside Al Jefferson began to show his skillful singles skills, and Split looked tragic and didn't want to play.
The outside and inside lines were opened, and the difference widened rapidly after almost being leveled.
For the first time, the difference was 12 points.
The Spurs called a timeout, and the GDP combination came back on the court. Also on the field was Kawhi Leonard.
A fierce battle began.
Qin Yang also began to let go of the fight.
At the end of the third quarter, Qin Yang exerted his strength again, and when the GDP combination hit one after another, he stood up, a single, a catch, and an assist, leading the team to stabilize the point difference, and after three quarters, the Mavericks led by 14 points.
It's not a big point difference.
But it's a bit desperate.
During the break, Qin Yang drank a drink, gasping for breath, and in the third quarter, Qin Yang scored consecutive singles, consuming a lot of physical strength.
The consumption of one minute is comparable to five or six minutes of normal play.
"Next, you must play steadily, don't panic, Cory Brewer, you have to rush up, not to attack quickly, but to put pressure on them, and not let them play slowly, otherwise the rhythm will be under their control."
"Al, I'll give you three to five minutes in the fourth quarter, and during that time, if you have the chance, don't skimp on your physical strength, and if necessary, you have to foul under the basket and don't give them easy points to score."
"Dirk, at the critical moment in the fourth quarter, the team needs you to share the offensive pressure, as long as you stabilize the score, it's not a problem."
……
Once again, Coach Carlisle made the arrangement.
At this point in the game, in fact, most of the arrangements have no effect, because the tactics and everything have been played more than once or twice.
What needs to be noticed is often a small change.
The game begins.
Spurs attack.
Tony Parker attacked with the ball after half court and didn't find a chance, Qin Yang wouldn't give Tony Parker a chance to score easily.
Eventually, the basketball found Duncan after two passes.
After Duncan got the ball, he singled low again.
Al Jefferson's defense is not good, the bounce is not strong, the height is disadvantaged, Duncan hooks in the low post, and Al Jefferson can't prevent it at all.
A decisive foul by Al Jefferson at the critical moment.
Duncan makes free throws.
1 of 2 free throws.
Perhaps many people consider Duncan to be the greatest power forward in NBA history. That's right, that's right.
But in reality, Duncan also has shortcomings.
Duncan's free throws, for example, have been hovering around seventy percent. Duncan's free-throw percentage this season is 70.3 percent.
That's right, much lower than you think.
As one of the most dominant interior players in NBA history, Shaq O'Neal shot less than 60% from the free-throw line and was scolded as a fool.
Duncan's free-throw shooting percentage is just over 70 percent.
Generally speaking, a free throw shooting percentage of seven accomplishments is qualified and will not be the target of a shark-slashing tactic.
However, at critical moments, this free-throw percentage is very unreliable.
This is another shortcoming of Duncan in addition to his lack of explosiveness. Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
