Chapter 49: The Mighty Karen Mok
Ben Wallace and Big Z have strong interior strength.
Both have been selected as All-Stars, and although they are older, they still have strength, and the big Z low-post offense and jump shot are very good, and Ben Wallace was once the best defensive player.
But the two are really not suitable as a partner.
When Ben Wallace was paired with Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace was the inside of the top guard and frame protector, not the assistant defense type of the inside.
The big Z speed is slower, and the defense is not timely.
As a result, as long as the 76ers play blocking and dismantling tactics, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers' interior to help defend in place, and in this case, it is more appropriate to replace Vallejo on the court.
Vallejo has a certain level of mid-range shooting, excellent defense, qualified rebounding ability, and can also make fouls, this kind of player is best suited to partner with Ben Wallace or Big Z.
But the Cavaliers won't do that.
The interior line that LeBron James needs is Ben Wallace and Big Z.
After Qin Yang came on the field, he encountered such a depressed situation. The Cavaliers attacked, and Qin Yang's best choice turned out to be to pass the ball to LeBron James himself.
Defending himself is Willie Green, who is not a particularly outstanding player, but he has strong strength and speed, and his height disadvantage is not big, and the defense of Qin Yang is relatively in place.
For the first ball, Qin Yang passed to LeBron James, and James directly blocked and dismantled with the big Z high post and entered the basket to get two free throws.
Hit both free throws.
But Qin Yang frowned instead.
The 76ers attacked, and Qinyang defended point guard Andre Miller.
This point guard is very good, although he is very old, he has excellent passing and excellent back-to-back singles skills.
Well, that's something that LeBron James can't learn.
Of course, in fact, the singles themselves are a little unsuitable for the current basketball found that since the rise of shelling tactics, the inside line has begun to run outside the three-point line to shoot, and the role of the three-point shot has been greatly strengthened.
It's so ugly, not to mention, it's not efficient.
Andre Miller attacked with the ball and directly singled Qin Yang with his back.
Qin Yang was not afraid.
Andre Miller singled Mo Williams because Mo Williams was of average height and had no advantage against Andre Miller, so Andre Miller scored so easily.
Qin Yang has an obvious height advantage, so he is not afraid.
Offensive and defensive, physical superiority is very important.
Andre Miller went inside the three-point line and went straight to the back single.
Top it up!
Qin Yang retreated slightly, feeling a strong attack, and retreated a little, but at this moment, Andre Miller turned around and made a move.
Didn't provoke at all, shot directly.
Qin Yang slowed down, and the basketball crossed over his head and entered the net.
Sou!
The ball goes in.
Qin Yang was stunned for a moment, regained his mood, dribbled over half the court, and after halftime, Qin Yang recruited a block, and after Delonte West blocked and dismantled, Qin Yang directly moved to a position at a sixty-degree angle outside the three-point line.
Andre Miller switches defenses.
The height difference was close to 20cm, and Qin Yang directly picked up a three-point shot.
Sou!
The ball goes in.
Answer ball!
Andre Miller glanced at Qin Yang and was slightly surprised, but Andre Miller, who had a Mok Wenwei face, didn't say anything.
Ever since he was an alumnus of Carter the Flyer, Andre Miller has kept a low profile.
is low-key, and the autumn breeze is also low-key.
It's obvious that the floor is flowing, and as soon as he enters the league, he is extremely old-fashioned, rarely jumps up and dunks, passes out amazing passes, and so on.
The 76ers attacked.
Andre Miller attacked again with the ball.
This time it's still a back-to-back single, in fact, as the most archaic point guard, Andre Miller's most outstanding offensive skills are back-to-back singles.
That's right, back-to-back singles were a point guard's trick in the beginning.
Even the five-second rule of the back is because the point guard Mark Jackson is so annoying to play back to the back again and again, that the league has to introduce it.
Andre Miller continued to play singles with his back, and Qin Yang was much more careful this time.
It's just that Andre Miller has very good skills, and every time he is beaten, he is very hard, which just makes Qin Yang retreat slightly, this time Andre Miller turned around directly, and Qin Yang was already ready to stretch his arm forward.
But the next moment, Andre Miller smashed the ball into Qin Yang's arm with both hands.
Syllable!
Andre Miller jumped up and threw the ball out, and the basketball smashed out of the basket, but the whistle sounded, Qin Yang fouled, and Andre Miller made free throws.
Qin Yang's face was expressionless, but he felt a fire in his heart.
It's nothing.
was taught a hard lesson by such an uncle who wanted to be close to 20cm in height and was old enough to retire.
Qin Yang obviously has countless advantages, but he is still not Andre Miller's opponent.
This feeling is simply desperate.
The Cavaliers attacked, Qin Yang did not rush to single Andre Miller this time, but passed the ball to LeBron James and ran by himself.
In the end, LeBron attracted the defense and passed to Qin Yang, who assisted the big Z shot.
Former captain Brand's height is too low, and if he shoots from the middle range of the big Z, Brand has nothing to do.
After playing this ball, the 76ers called a timeout, and the Cavaliers also changed the lineup, with Big Z off the court and Delonte West off the court for Vallejo and Szczebiak.
As soon as Vallejo came on the court, the Cavaliers' format changed.
On the other side, Thaddeus Young and Louis Williams also played.
Although the 76ers traded Allen Iverson away, overall, the 76ers are very strong, and Thaddeus Young and Louis Williams are both strong players.
On the first ball, Louis Williams directly broke through Qin Yang.
Qin Yang was taken aback, this player is a completely different player from Andre Miller, short stature, fast speed, very sharp in breakthroughs, and terrifying in weak shooting.
After the direct break, Louis Williams went straight to the basket.
Fortunately, Vallejo was in place under the basket to help defend and this ball was iron.
Vallejo is at his peak, and his defensive strength is good, but if Big Z is on the field, the speed is too slow, and it is difficult to help defend in place.
Andre Miller was not on the court, and the 76ers' offense suddenly became disordered.
Iguodala even had to come out with the ball to organize a wave, but Iguodala was obviously not a playmaker and could not organize the 76ers' offense well.
Without a good offense, the 76ers can only rely on individual strength.
Brand was 1-of-3, Thaddeus Young and Louis Williams each hit twice, and the Cavaliers quickly pulled the score away.
At this time, LeBron James was off the court, and Iguodala relied on impact to make up for some of the difference.
But looking back, Qin Yang's passing and shooting combined, and the Cavaliers took the lead again.
At the end of the second quarter, the Cavaliers were ahead by 3 points.
