Chapter 483: The Fierce Battle Continues
The second half started quickly.
Qin Yang and Rudy Gay, Cosby, West, Cousins played.
The Kings attacked, and Durant came up again to defend.
The Thunder are on the court, and Durant is the core of the defense.
West ran back directly after making a cover, Qin Yang directly misplaced to face James Harden, and Durant followed closely.
James Harden is stepping back, ready to help defend at any time.
At this time, Qin Yang was in a well-paced location and could shoot directly, but David West was directly vacant next to him.
Qin Yang passed the ball directly, and West received the ball and shot.
Sou!
Steady hits.
James Harden is slow to help defend, and the height gap between the two is also a bit big.
The Kings' first goal was very simple.
The Thunder coach looked ugly on the sidelines, and on the defensive end, he obviously didn't do a clear enough.
The Thunder offense is a simple single defense.
Seeing this, Westbrook directly held the ball and chiseled, a fierce horse, Ray Allen did not resist, but closely followed the interference in place.
Westbrook forced his hand and successfully struck the iron.
Westbrook could pass the ball, but Westbrook didn't pass it, but chose to go hard. There is clearly something wrong with this offensive option.
In that respect, Westbrook's ball quotient is really not high.
The two teams quickly fought tactically.
The Kings pay more attention to the whole, although Qin Yang is the core, but he is not alone, he will also pass the ball to his teammates, and the Kings' tactics are very good.
At this time, Qin Yang also slowly strengthened his personal attack.
The Thunder's offense is relatively simple.
The offense with the ball is almost carried out separately by the Thunder and the three youngsters, and the cooperation between each other is not so tacit, and almost all of them are based on individual singles.
But when either of Ibaka and the Thunder are on the floor, the Thunder put a lot of pressure on the offensive end.
Bag clips?
That's impossible.
The Thunder's tactics are somewhat similar to the alternative triangle tactics, where the players go their own way to complete the singles.
But there is a big gap between this tactic and the triangle tactics of the Thunder.
Between the Thunder Sanshao and Ibaka, it is more about sharing the pressure with each other, and there is no effective complement and cooperation between each other.
The Bulls' triangle tactics and the Lakers' triangle tactics are also singles.
However, this kind of singles is to make the players' singles play smoothly, and there is an effective complement and cooperation between each other.
That's the big difference.
The Thunder's offense came in waves, but the overall feeling was chaotic and unorganized.
Qin Yang was very stable at this time.
Don't panic.
Passing, Attacking, Defending!
Qin Yang did everything very well.
In terms of passing, Qin Yang is not greedy for merit, and does not seek that every pass can be directly converted into a goal, but only wants to have no mistakes and give his teammates the best offensive opportunities.
Attacking, teammates don't have good opportunities, and when they need to attack, Qin Yang is not intimidated at all.
Combining passing and offense, Qin Yang's offense is more difficult to defend.
Defensively, Qin Yang has also misplaced many times, two consecutive misplaced Westbrook, both of which were defended in place, Westbrook hit iron once, and barely made fouls once.
As a result, the Kings' point gap is slowly narrowing.
At the end of the third quarter, there were still 3 points left.
During the break, Qin Yang felt a little tired.
From the very beginning, the difficulty of this game was not comparable to the previous competitions. In addition to the fact that the Thunder were almost unstoppable offensively, the situation of the game was also unprecedentedly dignified and complex.
For the first time in the playoffs, the Kings have shown such weakness.
"In the last quarter, the difference is already very small, so we have to work harder, as long as we win this away game, we have a huge advantage in this series."
Qin Yang cheered up his teammates, and their teammates all regained their energy when they heard this.
At this point, it's not so much about skill as about mentality, experience and perseverance.
……
Soon the game continued.
In the final quarter, the game resumed.
At the beginning, Qin Yang played directly alone, facing Durant's defense, directly stepped back and pulled the ball to shoot, hitting a mid-distance.
Durant thought that Qin Yang would shoot a three-pointer after stepping back, but he made a mistake in judgment.
Thunder offense. Durant singles with the ball.
Now defending Durant is Klay Thompson, Rudy Gay has played nearly 30 minutes in this game, and as an outside guard who can help defend at any time, he is already very tired.
At the start of the final quarter, Klay Thompson came on.
But at the critical moment, Klay Thompson's naïve experience appeared.
The first ball was hit by Durant with a 2+1.
Turning back, Qin Yang was caught in the bag and passed the ball to Klay Thompson in the vacant position, Klay Thompson panicked when the vacant position was in the vacant position, and hit the iron.
The Thunder got the rebound.
Durant hit a three-pointer again, and Qin Yang could do very little defense when Durant was jumping high.
That height and reach, can't defend.
In the blink of an eye, the difference was 9 points.
This point difference is very dangerous.
Coach Van Gundy called a timeout.
came back, Qin Yang attacked the inside line with the help of covering, passed out in the midfield of the three-pack clamp, and Cousins, who had been depressed for a whole game, received the ball and scored violently.
But looking back, both teams hit four consecutive irons and failed to score.
Until Qin Yang made a foul and hit 2 of 2 free throws.
Immediately after, there was another frontal iron battle.
The game time is getting less and less, the intensity of the defense is getting more and more, and although the referee has a whistle, the whistle is not so harsh.
Breakthrough, it is difficult to open the situation.
Shooting, under strong defensive pressure, all kinds of iron.
After another two-minute scoring drought, Durant scored on a pull-up basket.
Durant's scoring ability is too strong to prevent.
In the final quarter, Durant was already shooting 2-of-4 from the field and also made free throws, which was terrifying.
There are three pointers left in the clock.
Qin Yang passed Lei Allen, and Lei Allen hit the iron at the critical moment.
The margin widened to 11 points.
Coach Van Gundy called a timeout.
"There's no time, Bruce, and then take over the game, and the rest of the guys have to cover up and use the elevator to create scoring opportunities for Bruce."
Coach Van Gundy went straight to the least common tactics.
When he was on the Magic team before, Coach Van Gundy emphasized playing the overall strategy, disliking players who held too much ball, but also allowed some players to attack more, but this kind of elevator tactic was rarely used.
In the regular season this season, the Kings did not use it once.
This is the first time I used it.
At the beginning of the game, after Qin Yang got the ball, Darko made a cover, and Qin Yang broke through and passed to Ray Allen. After passing, Qin Yang retreated, and Lei Allen passed to Qin Yang again.
But at this time, Darko and Ray Allen were just running and organizing the defensive line of Durant and James Harden.
On the outside line, Qin Yang is alone and has a vacant seat.
Sou!
Three-pointers scored. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
