Chapter 569: All kinds of convulsions, losing is not losing
On the 15th, away against the Clippers.
In the last game, the Clippers lost very unconvinced, especially Griffin, who performed very poorly in the game and was bombarded by the Los Angeles media after the game.
This was a first for Griffin.
Since joining the Clippers, Griffin has received compliments, violent dunks, the best dunk superstar the NBA has ever seen, and more.
Therefore, Griffin was angry.
I'm angry and want to come back.
Griffin was interviewed before the game:
"The Dallas are strong, but we are stronger, it was just an accident in the last game, and I will let them know how good I am in this game."
"Paul is injured, it's not a problem, the Clippers are still strong overall."
Griffin was confident in the interview.
Yes, there's nothing wrong with that.
Because after the Clippers recently made a trade, the record has increased dramatically, and the arrival of Redick has completely liberated the Clippers. Crawford is better suited to be a sixth man than a starter.
With the arrival of Redick, the defense is not a big flaw, on the contrary, it helps the team a lot on the offensive end.
After the Magic team fell apart, Redick went through several seasons of training, becoming more and more calm on the offensive end, and ranked in the top 10 in the league in three-point shooting percentage for two consecutive seasons.
Not only that, but Redick's defense is also above the league level and will not be a burden.
The Clippers have won every few games in a row.
For a while, many media believed that the Clippers had become a Finals-level powerhouse, and the probability of the Clippers winning the championship this season has greatly increased.
Especially after Paul returns from injury, the Clippers will be stronger.
Qin Yang didn't bother to deal with this.
On the 15th, the game began.
Clippers starters: Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Darren Collisson, Redick, Dudley.
This starter is not weak.
But when Darren Collison saw Qin Yang, he went straight to the pump.
In the past, when he was in the Hornets, Paul was injured, and Darren Collison played no weaker than Paul's data, and Darren Collison at that time was proud.
Yearning for big contracts, starters, the road to superstardom.
And then...... met Qin Yang.
Qin Yang pressed Darren Collison to the ground and rubbed it, almost missing Xiang.
And now it's happening again.
Reddick also felt very bad, Griffin was very arrogant, he didn't think Qin Yang was powerful, that was because Griffin didn't oppose Qin Yang, and the positions of the two rarely met.
Redick and Qin Yang have been teammates, and they have encountered many games later.
Every time I encounter Qin Yang, it is a torment, and this game is the same.
Griffin is very imposing, showing off his might.
But when it came to the game, that was not the case, Griffin was very average, the first ball was low single, using his feet and speed, past El Jefferson to hit.
But after that, the tragedy began for Griffin.
The low post singles can't help it, and the high jump shot hits the iron.
In the first quarter, the Clippers fell behind again.
Darren Collison and Redick both behaved averagely, obviously having a problem in their hearts, and were suppressed by Qin Yang. The Clippers didn't start well.
But in the second verse, things change.
Crawford, who became a substitute, broke out in this game, and Matt Barnes also broke out.
Barnes is strong defensively, and the offensive end is average, and there are not many scoring means other than layups and mid-range shots with average shooting percentage.
But in this game, Barnes was full of hands.
Every player has a few games a season that are full of feelings, and Barnes is the case this time, and the Mavericks are completely useless even if they are defensively in place.
Shoot one of the best and shoot against the defense.
Barnes is going to be supernatural in this game.
Equally outstanding is Crawford, who is also open up as the best sixth man.
The two formed a perimeter duo, and the Mavericks called two timeouts in the second quarter.
In the eighth minute of the second quarter, the Clippers led by 11 points, and Qin Yang came on the court.
After Qin Yang came on the field, the effect was not so obvious.
For the two players who have gone crazy, the regular defense is no longer very useful, and Qin Yang has defended with his heart, and it is useless.
Instead, Crawford was given two free throws.
Fortunately, on the offensive end, the Mavericks also opened up, and the point difference did not widen.
In the first half, the Mavericks played very depressed.
But at halftime, Qin Yang comforted his teammates instead: "In the last game, we didn't play badly, Matt and Crawford were in good shape, which made us play very passively, in the next game, you don't have to worry, the defensive end increases physical confrontation, which affects their shooting feeling, the offensive end, steady and steady, Los Angeles people are not our opponents." ”
What Qin Yang said was not high-spirited at all, but after he said it, his teammates were very convinced.
This convincing is a game-by-game experience.
In the past few months, Qin Yang's performance has been obvious to all.
50+ points again and again, it's simply terrifying.
Many experts say that the current Qin Yang is at his peak, killing gods when he meets gods, killing Buddhas when he encounters Buddhas, and no one can stop him, and even in the 2KNBA game, Qin Yang's ability value this season has risen to 99, which is a little higher than James's 98, and it is the strongest in the league.
The team boss said so, and the players naturally didn't panic.
Calderon and Seth Curry didn't play well in this game, and their poor performance on the defensive end was the main reason why the first half was so hard.
But Qin Yang did not reprimand the two.
The defense of the two is not good, whether there is any deliberate leakage, there is no need to put too much pressure on teammates.
Coach Carlisle said something similar and didn't put pressure on the team.
The Mavericks have a good record this season, and losing a few games is not a bad thing.
In the second half, Qin Yang came on and quickly suppressed the Clippers' offense, and Griffin made a mistake at a critical moment.
Two key mistakes in the third quarter wiped out the Clippers' advantage.
By the start of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks had taken the lead.
But the fourth season didn't go as smoothly as expected.
Redick made a couple of very good shots at key moments, scoring seven straight points to help the Clippers equalize, and Crawford and Barnes did not let up at all, and the two teams actually equalized in the last minute.
At the critical moment, Qin Yang scored singles.
The Clippers Crawford played 3+1.
The Mavericks attacked, Gobert made a layup at a critical moment and missed the basket, and the Clippers made a layup with Barnes and made 1 of 2 free throws.
At the last moment, Qin Yang hit a three-pointer again, but he couldn't return to the sky.
The Mavericks lost to the Clippers on the road.
Barnes was 10-of-18 from the field, Crawford was 10-of-14 and Redick was 8-of-17, and the trio scored 33, 23, and 25 points respectively to help the Clippers defend their home honor.
Griffin was 5-of-14 for 18 points, 9 rebounds and 5 turnovers.
Qin Yang didn't mention him after the game at all.
