Chapter 457: The Truth Hurts
"Jeremy is a very good player, he has the quality of the league's starting point guard, both offensive and passing, above the league level, but he's not a superstar and he still needs to do more in this league."
Qin Yang's words are very objective, but many people don't think so.
The Knicks media thought that Qin Yang was a little too much and was jealous of Jeremy Lin's talent.
After Jeremy Lin became popular in the United States, he truly became the representative of the American dream.
Qin Yang was also called this before, but Qin Yang is not an American, Jeremy Lin is, he has lived in the United States since he was a child, and his living habits and education are orthodox American education, and no one else can compare to this point.
So, to some extent, Jeremy Lin stole the limelight from Qin Yang.
Everyone else thinks so.
Before the game began, Qin Yang walked to the position of the Knicks players and greeted the Knicks players and coaches.
The current boss of the Knicks, Carmelo Anthony, is out due to injury, and the team leader is Stoudemire, but the hottest thing right now is Jeremy Lin.
Qin Yang went up and chatted for a few words, and then directly grabbed Jeremy Lin.
"Jeremy, in the first few games, a lot of people in the league didn't know your characteristics, but then your characteristics will appear in every striker's table, so you're going to face more setbacks, and it's going to be a huge asset."
Qin Yang's speech is a little old-fashioned, but Qin Yang is qualified.
Jeremy Lin was also not arrogant.
In this regard, Jeremy Lin has the humility of his parents.
"Thank you Bruce, if it weren't for your recommendation, I might not have been able to find a job a long time ago."
Jeremy Lin is very grateful, in fact, after Jeremy Lin was cut by the Rockets and the Warriors, he had nowhere to play, and at this time, Qin Yang introduced him to coach D'Antoni, and Jeremy Lin joined the Knicks.
The reason for this sounds simple.
In fact, Qin Yang just made a phone call, allowing Jeremy Lin to get a practical training and other opportunities.
Then Jeremy Lin got a contract that wasn't fully guaranteed, and that's it.
After talking about friendship, the game begins.
In this game, Qin Yang played a little more aggressively.
After the game, it is a direct singles.
Knicks start, Stoudemire, Tyson Chandler, Shambaught, Jeremy Lin and Landry Fields.
Defending Qin Yang was Jeremy Lin.
In the face of Jeremy Lin, Qin Yang directly abandoned other modes, directly hit hard, forcibly broke through, and used extremely clumsy skills to carry Jeremy Lin into the middle distance, and then hit it easily.
Looking back, after Stoudemire struck the iron, Qin Yang used the Buddha to break through Jeremy Lin.
On the defensive end, Qin Yang directly suppressed Jeremy Lin and capped Jeremy Lin's layup.
Attacking again, Qin Yang dribbled directly behind his back, and the coquettish three-point shot hit, Jeremy Lin was helpless.
At the beginning, Qin Yang scored 7 points in a row, and the Kings led the Knicks 7-0.
This is the absolute power gap.
Qin Yang was really furious, and few people were opponents in a short period of time.
Immediately after Shambaugh defended Qin Yang, Qin Yang made a quick stop jump shot, stuck in the position and shot easily, hitting a mid-range shot.
After that, the Knicks called a timeout.
Coach Van Gundy of the Kings laid out the tactics:
"Bruce, you need to conserve your energy, you need to shoot in singles at key moments for the team, now you have fewer shots, you can organise the attack, and you can give the ball to your teammates."
Coach Van Gundy deliberately pointed it out, but Qin Yang did not refute it.
In the opening goal, Qin Yang was to guide Jeremy Lin.
Now with the change in the league game situation, there are more and more superstars on the point guard, and Jeremy Lin is not weak, but he is not a wall.
It's a good thing for him to be able to calm down now.
To be a top-notch point guard like Raymond Felton is already remarkable.
Pause back.
The two teams began to cooperate tactically.
At this time, the gap between the two teams came out.
The Knicks were too chaotic and tactics were unclear.
Tyson Chandler wants to play defense slowly, but Stoudemire is different from Jeremy Lin and wants to play fast break, D'Antoni has been depressed lately, and the lineup and tactical coordination are also terrible.
In this case, Qin Yang easily gave the ball to Dako.
Darko covered in the high post, and the others passed and cut to cooperate.
Qin Yang was 5-of-8 in the first quarter, 4-of-5 from the free-throw line, and scored 16 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds.
At halftime, the Kings had an easy 13 points.
There is no doubt that this game will be won.
This season, the strength of the Kings is very strong, and there is a tendency to crush this kind of team more and more.
Throughout the game, Qin Yang didn't seem to shoot too much, 11 of 21, 10 of 13 free throws, and got 37 points, 9 assists and 4 rebounds.
On the contrary, Jeremy Lin's performance was a little miserable, even if he was crushed miserably against Qin Yang, and when he encountered Francisco Garcia's defense, he also struggled.
In the whole game, Jeremy Lin was 4 of 12, and the shooting rate was quite miserable.
The good thing is that Jeremy Lin has 12 assists, and he is still performing relatively well.
After playing the Knicks, the Kings had a day off and flew to Detroit.
Detroit has declared bankruptcy this year, which caused a stir in the United States, but it was not a surprise.
When Qin Yang was still on the Cavaliers, he heard James talk about this.
Detroit's rundown was expected.
This is determined by the overall situation, and the strength of the individual cannot make up for it.
From the year of the Cavaliers, to the year of the Magic, and then to the Kings in the past two years, Qin Yang has passed through Detroit again and again, and the rate of decay in Detroit is getting faster and faster.
When Qin Yang came to the Pistons' home court, he felt obvious changes.
There were sparsely seated fans in the stands, almost all of them black, and their emotions were even more irritable and intense.
Detroit went bankrupt, more and more people lost their jobs, and people's moods became more and more irritable.
And the effect of these on the team is that the Pistons are getting weaker and weaker.
Detroit went bankrupt, the Pistons' home revenue plummeted, and the owner kept losing money, so the team naturally had no money to invest, and the big contract was not given.
Detroit now is almost eating the old book.
Detroit starters, Starkey, Prince, Greg Monroe, Mark Hill, Brandon Knight. This lineup is a bit miserable.
Kings starters, Qin Yang, Rudy Gay, Cousins, Big West, Francisco Garcia.
Cousins jumped the ball to win, and the Kings went on offense.
Qin Yang holds the ball, Prince defends.
When he first entered the league, Qin Yang met Prince and was defended with a doubtful life.
At that time, Qin Yang had almost no other data except for iron striking and mistakes.
But the reincarnation before Thirty Years Hexi, Thirty Years Hedong, Qin Yang and Prince is like the reincarnation between LeBron James and Paul Pierce.
Encountering Prince, Qin Yang directly rejected Rudy Gay's cover.
If you come up, you will go it alone.
Prince is old, and when he was young, he could barely restrict the current Qin Yang a little, but now at this time, Qin Yang is a crossover, and Prince is thrown away.
When he got to the basket, Qin Yang used the rhythm to easily break through Monroe and score a layup.
Monroe hesitated a bit and didn't step forward to foul.
If you do this, prepare to be beaten by Qin Yang for a 2+1!
The game wasn't reciprocal from the start.
The Kings are crushing again!
