Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Battle for Fame (Part II)
Jamil Nelson is not weak, and he is a wonder at point guard.
This player is a common point guard in the league who is not good at passing, well, he just does it with the ball throughout the game, and that's why Tekoglou has so much of the ball with the Magic.
Jamil Nelson defended Qin Yang, and just four minutes later, the Magic coach called two timeouts at home.
4 of 5 three-pointers, Qin Yang went crazy directly.
The Cavaliers led by six points from behind, and the head coach of the Magic team was in a hurry.
"Good job."
James said this when he left the court, and high-fived Qin Yang in celebration.
"Wait a minute, they'll defend me with all their might, I'll pass the ball then, LeBron, Mo Williams, you're ready to dunk and shoot at any time."
Qin Yang said with a smile.
Even if it is a superstar, it is impossible to shoot like this all the time, and then more suitable people will definitely be sent to defend Qin Yang, such as Kunit Lee.
There is only one 3D player on the outside of the Magic team, this player is not very strong when he comes out alone, Qin Yang can barely play hard, although the efficiency will be reduced, but if the Magic team focuses on Qin Yang defensively, Qin Yang's performance will definitely get worse and worse.
The Cavaliers attacked, and Qin Yang directly broke through Konet Lee with the help of cover, but soon, Kunit Lee chased after him without the slightest hesitation.
Qin Yang continued to break through, Howard quickly moved into place, there were defenders in front and behind, Qin Yang was not polite, he didn't look at others, and threw the ball directly into the sky.
James jumped up and slammed it.
Rumble!
James flapped his chest, unleashing his passion.
Well, a bit like an orangutan.
Qin Yang is not someone else, when other people are facing a strong defense, they can't pass the ball, or they can only share the ball, Qin Yang's passing level is very, very high.
The Magic team attacked, and Rashad Lewis scored one very hard in the face of Qin Yang.
Turkoglu has a good organizational ability, but when facing a strong defense, he can't stand up at all, and it is difficult for such a pure and simple playmaker to raise the ceiling of the team.
Or maybe Turkoglu is just a team addition, but it's hard to win the title.
The Cavaliers attacked, Qin Yang passed the ball directly to Mo Williams with the help of cover, and Mo Williams held the ball to break through Rashad Lewis and then hit a jump shot.
Qin Yang walked to the right and did not step forward to assist in the defense.
Mo Williams misplaced singles, which in itself is one of the best tactics.
Qin Yang will not stupidly put all the tasks of offense and organization on himself, this is the most tiring, and it is the easiest to take the blame, and more importantly, it is too sticky and not good for the team.
Mo Williams singled one, and the Magic's defense became more chaotic.
James must defend, Qin Yang has to defend, Mo Williams can't relax, how to defend this?
When the Cavaliers attacked again, Qin Yang hit a one-step shot directly outside the three-point line, and the Magic team didn't know how to defend.
This kind of ball is usually not played like this, and it will hurt morale if it doesn't score.
But after entering, it was very shocking.
How far is the three-point line going in, how can you play?
The Magic are still playing again, but they lack the toughness.
When the team wants to enter a stalemate and fall behind, they still know how to play, don't give up, don't worry, and persevere, this is the temperament of a champion, and it is clear that the Magic team does not have this temperament.
Howard asked for the ball under the basket and attacked in the low post, but got a free throw, but fortunately he hit 1 of 2 and hit one, otherwise he would have to cry to death. Rashad Lewis is indeed a bit soft, relying on his teammates to create space to shoot, and Konett Lee is too slow to shoot, and although he is a 3-and-D player, he can't step up in critical moments. Jamil Nelson is a point guard who can only attack, and he wanted to attack at a critical moment, but he dropped the chain and lost himself after being hit by James with a big hat.
Howard is not a super interior and can't hold up the team in crunch time.
Qin Yang had a lot of opportunities to hold the ball in this game, shooting 10 of 16, 7 of 12 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and got 28 points, 16 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, shocking the whole court. If this data is obtained by a superstar, it is not particularly amazing, but it is incredible for a rookie to get it.
What's even more incredible is not the data, but the role on the pitch.
Before Qin Yang played, the Cavaliers played very awkwardly and fell behind away. But after Qin Yang played, he used his offense to play a new rhythm.
The performance on the pitch is clear at a glance.
Even the most discerning fans have to admit that Qin Yang's role on the court is obvious, Qin Yang has done a good job of offense and passing, even on the defensive end, Qin Yang is steady and steady.
The most depressed is Howard, after Qin Yang enters the basket, he can't defend it, but if he defends, Qin Yang passes the ball directly to his teammates.
In this game, the number of direct dunks by Cavaliers players broke Howard's heart.
After the game, Howard stepped forward to shake hands and hug Qin Yang.
"Bruce, come to the Magic, with you, I can dunk more and help you grab rebounds." Howard extended a cordial invitation.
"Thank you," Qin Yang did not refuse, nor did he agree: "I don't count this kind of thing." ”
Qin Yang stepped forward and shook hands with Mr. 100 million yuan Rashad Lewis, Rashad Lewis was not in good shape in this game, but this is a good team player. Two of the three-point shots in the bottom corner made Qin Yang stunned. There are very few players who are good at three-point shooting in the bottom corner in the Cavaliers, well, Qin Yang is the one with the highest shooting percentage.
The bottom corner is important, but normally, no one wants to go to that position because it's too far away, and when you go, you basically just watch your teammates score.
Rashad Lewis is a big man who is good at shooting and is humble and low-key.
Such teammates are much friendlier than the current team in Qin Yang's opinion.
In an interview with the media after the game, players on both sides praised Qin Yang, but this time there was obviously some dissonance.
Howard:
"Bruce is the best point guard I've ever seen, and every time he shoots from the outside, I have an unfortunate premonition that this shot is going to go in. I don't know how to defend every time he gets to the basket, and if I do, I know his teammate is going to dunk. ”
"Honestly, anyone wants to have a teammate who dares to step up when the team is in crisis and selflessly dedicate their pass when the team needs to pass. I really want to be teammates with him. ”
"I think he's got the strength of a superstar in the league."
Howard's assessment was a surprise.
In the past few seasons, Howard has become the most dominant center in the league, yes, although Yao Ming played very happily when he met the monster Howard, although Howard did not have the low-post dominance like O'Neal, but Howard really formed the team's defense with one person.
Some say he's super blue-collar, and that's true, but there's never been such a guy who has this defensive ability.
Tyson Chandler and Kevin Garnett's defense is also among the best in the league, but there is still a gap compared to Howard.
Howard's evaluation caused a wide discussion in the league.
