Chapter 458: Fighting the Big Three

After winning against the Pistons, Qin Yang stepped forward and hugged Ben Wallace.

When he was with the Cavaliers, Ben Wallace and Qin Yang had a good relationship, and both of them were players who resolutely refused to admit defeat. However, at that time, Qin Yang was known as the star of tomorrow, and Ben Wallace was the sunset.

Ben Wallace later returned to the Pistons and found a second spring.

This season, Ben Wallace is already miserable.

Playing time and stats are not mentioned.

This season, Ben Wallace's role is to be a veteran in the dressing room, stabilizing the mood and will to fight. And after this season, Ben Wallace will retire at the end of his contract.

Ben Wallace's career ended with this.

Qin Yang couldn't understand such a thing as retirement, but Ben Wallace was a little unhappy.

After playing the Pistons, the Kings will next have three consecutive road games against the Cavaliers, Heat and Wizards, bringing the previous game, which is a six-game consecutive away game.

In six back-to-back games, the Kings would have lost half of them.

But this time, the Kings are not up for it.

On Feb. 19, the Kings take on the Cavaliers.

The Kings took a rotation, with Qin Yang and Darko taking turns.

The most important outside line in the Kings lineup this season is Qin Yang, and the most important inside line is not Cousins, not David West, but Daco Milicic.

That's right, it's Daktronics.

Darko is averaging 2.9 blocks per game this season, which is the team's deservedly No. 1.

Ranked first in the league.

Darko's role with the Kings is the same as Kevin Garnett's role with the Celtics, although the ball is not special, but the role on the defensive end is very obvious.

Not only that, but Darko's low singles, high post playmaking and jump shooting skills were very important to perfect the Kings' tactics.

David West has also played well this season, but he is old after all, and the defensive end is too bad.

Darko's performance this season has led many to call for him to be an All-Star.

Against the Cavaliers, Qin Yang and Darko did not play.

The two teams are still fighting fiercely.

The Cavaliers are still underdogs this season.

After the departure of LeBron James last season, the Cavaliers undoubtedly won the No. 1 pick, and then chose Kelly Irving.

At the same time there was the choice of Tristan Thompson, nicknamed TT.

It's not a bad choice.

Although Kelly Irving has just entered the league this season, the cold-blooded killer and singles king temperament he has shown has been fully revealed.

Contrary to everyone else's expectations, the number one player in singles per game is rookie Irving.

Kelly Irving's individual offensive skills with the ball are among the best in the league.

And Kelly Irving has no technical flaws at all.

Three-pointer, breakaway, mid-range shot, finish offense under the basket.

Kelly Irving's arsenal is almost the envy of the players.

If I had to talk about Kelly Irving's flaws, it wasn't for nothing. His passing is scummy, his breakthrough skills are much worse than Wade's, and Irving is not good at back-to-back singles, and his shot selection is also worrying.

But no matter how good, the Cavaliers picked a good rookie.

Before the game, Qin Yang was interviewed and said a lot of good things:

"The Cleveland Cavaliers are a great team, and my career started here, and every time I come here, I feel a special feeling, it's like my hometown, in Chinese terms, it's called "Wandering Lovers."

"The Cavaliers have made a very good choice, Kelly Irving is the best rookie of the year, he's close to All-Star level, and after a season or two, I look like he's going to be a superstar."

"I can't play in this game, it's not that I have any disdain for the Cavaliers, you know, this kind of thinking is a sin in China, and everyone doesn't say no to their hometown, for the simple reason that we're going to play the Heat next, we have to stay for it, and I hope to have a perfect game before the All-Star break."

Qin Yang said what he said from his heart.

Of course, a large part of this is due to the need for the All-Star Game.

In the Western All-Star Game, Qin Yang and Chris Paul's votes were very tight, and Qin Yang was a new entrant and very popular.

In terms of strength and court performance, Qin Yang is better than Paul.

But it can't stop Paul from entering the league for so long, he has a good fan base, and this season in the Clippers, Paul's exposure has increased greatly, and his popularity has increased significantly.

Big cities, inherently have a lot of attention.

Cavaliers vs. Kings game...... Not as weak as Qin Yang thought.

Kelly Irving didn't do the tandem team, but the tandem team was handed over to Antoine Jamison and Sessions.

Antoine Jamison has played very well with the Cavaliers this season and has played brilliantly.

Irving scored 23 points.

In addition, Tristan Thompson had 15 points and 12 rebounds, and Cousins struggled to play.

In this game, Cousins made many high jumpers and passes, pitting his teammates.

The game continued into the third quarter, and in the end, Ray Allen showed his superstar style, and the final 30 seconds were a quasi-stunner to take away the victory.

98-97 was the final score.

It's a perfect game.

For the Kings, the meaning was reached.

The only depressed is Cousins, who played 41 minutes in this game and made 6 of 21 shots, scoring 19 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 turnovers and 6 fouls.

If it's a weak team, it doesn't matter how Cousins brushes up on the stats or how he exercises, but the Kings are strong this season.

Cousins has been put in the cold by Coach Van Gundy who has made a decision.

In the rest of the season, Cousins won't have a lot of offensive opportunities with the ball, otherwise the Kings will be in danger in the playoffs.

After winning against the Cavaliers, the Kings traveled to Mihami to play the Heat.

This season, the Heat have matured after last season's failures.

Under great pressure, the Big Three finally slowly matched the most suitable lineup, with clear priorities and a clear division of labor, and the Heat team has also become a super strong team in the league.

Prior to this game, the Heat had won ten in a row.

This season, the Heat's call to win the championship is good.

If they don't win the championship, the Heat will be the laughing stock of the league.

The Big Three were at their peak, but they failed to win the championship.

The biggest joke in NBA history will also be generated.

The Kings are aiming to win the championship, and the difference in the strength of each team this year is obvious, the East is generally weak, the Trail Blazers can be ranked well, and the Heat are the undisputed champions of the East.

Therefore, if the Kings advance to the finals, their opponents will definitely be the Heat.

Before the game, Coach Van Gundy made a very detailed arrangement:

"It's going to be on the inside, Cousins, Darko, West, you have to put pressure on the defensive end, and if you can't limit the opponent on the defensive end, it's going to be a tough game."
