Chapter Ninety-Nine: Momentum Suppression
In the face of Hamilton's almost desperate defense, Qin ** had no way to score.
At the moment of the layup, Qin Yang flipped his wrist and directly smashed the ball the rebound.
It's not a layup.
Immediately after, in the cheers of the quick loan center, the basketball smashed the rebound and rebounded, and James followed, and taking the ball was a dunk.
Violent dunks.
A wonderful fit!
“unbelievable!”
"Unbelievable fit, Bruce Qin's pass, LeBron James dunks to score."
"Unstoppable cooperation, tacit relay."
"Cheers fans, this is..."
"Cleveland!"
…………
The quick loan center was full of cheers, and the average player would feel trembling in the midst of this full cheer, and the Pistons players felt slightly uncomfortable.
Qin Yang played the Pistons' defense with consecutive passes that could play five good balls, and LeBron James made two consecutive violent dunks on his home court, and the momentum of the Cavaliers immediately rose.
In the playoffs, it is the hardest to play with momentum, because all teams will choose to foul at the right time.
Especially in the game between the Pistons and the Cavaliers, the fouls are almost constant, and they don't give the opponent a chance to cheer up at all.
The Pistons attacked.
Starkey carefully dribbled across half court and then properly passed to Prince, who made a pick-and-roll layup and passed to Rasheed Wallace after encountering a help defense.
A series of transmission and cutting cooperation, not exciting, but very sophisticated.
Larry Brown was widely criticized after leaving the Pistons, but it is undeniable that Larry Brown left a deep mark on the Pistons and has not faded after all these years.
Rasheed Wallace held the ball and directly misplaced to attack Qin Yang.
On the outside, Mo Williams is very anxious to defend, and the height gap between Delonte West is too big, and the best player to misplace the defense at this time is Qin Yang.
Qin Yang's defense is almost close.
Rasheed Wallace's speed is fast in the big forward, but it is definitely a disadvantage to Qin Yang's speed, so Qin Yang is not worried about being broken through.
Rasheed Wallace singled with his back, and after two backs, he turned straight to pick up a shot.
But at this moment, Qin Yang took half a step back and directly provoked, steadily capping Rasheed Wallace's shot.
When the basketball landed, Rasheed Wallace was stunned for a moment, ready to turn around and take the ball, but after landing, Qin Yang stepped out and picked up the basketball in one step, which was a fast attack.
Most of the players on both teams did not react.
Hamilton was the first to react, but the distance was too far to keep up, and Starkey was on the outside, quickly retreating to form the first line of defence.
The position of the three-point line, Starkey guarded carefully.
The other players of the Pistons and the Cavaliers were quickly ready to settle down, but at a position one step away from the three-point line, Qin Yang directly provoked and shot a three-point shot from a long distance.
"Break, go down, oh, no, super long-distance three-point ......"
The narrator was instantly shocked.
Ultra-long-range three-pointers are a rarity in the entire league, and this season's ultra-long-range three-pointers can be counted on one hand.
In the past, Arenas was still used occasionally, but with Arenas' injury, his form has dropped significantly, and the number of three-point shots has decreased a lot.
The league's players who are good at three-point shooting are gradually becoming role players, and the new generation of superstars rarely has a three-point shot, let alone an ultra-long-range three-point shot.
Ultra-long-distance three-pointers are rare in the regular season, and in the playoffs, no one dares to use them.
Qin Yang made such a move at a critical moment.
And it's also a capricious ultra-long-distance three-point shot that is one step away from the three-point line.
If this ball is not scored, the Pistons can get the ball 80%, and then the Cavaliers will lose an offensive opportunity, which is why most teams will not choose ultra-long-range three-point shooting.
But the next moment, the quick loan center resounded with earth-shattering cheers.
“unbelievable!”
"A three-pointer from long range has been scored!"
The narrator couldn't help but shout, and the entire quick loan center was full of cheers.
Qin Yang's arms were stretched out high, his fists clenched.
At this moment, Qin Yang had confidence.
"The Pistons, it's actually very easy to play!"
If Qin Yang faces Prince's defense, he will be a little more difficult, because Prince's height and arm span are not inferior to Qin Yang, Qin Yang will feel very difficult after encountering it, but in the face of others, if Qin Yang really makes up his mind to play alone, the efficiency will not be very low.
And Qin Yang's singles can attract bag clips.
In some ways, this is already a superstar trait.
"Great job!"
James stepped forward to celebrate with Qin Yang, and suddenly pushed Qin Yang open, fortunately James didn't use too much force, otherwise Qin Yang would have to fall to the ground.
After James, Mo Williams also came up to celebrate.
With the help of this ultra-long-range three-pointer, the Cavaliers immediately gained momentum.
On the next ball, the Pistons Prince misplaced to face Mo Williams and actually shot iron. Mo Williams had an excited look on his face after his successful defense.
Vallejo scrambles for the rebound under the basket and pulls the rebound straight out.
Qin Yang got the rebound, and just after dribbling, he made a long pass directly to James, James broke fast, forced a breakthrough, and successfully carried someone to the basket.
The difference is 21 points!
"This game is a winning game." Qin Yang already had a judgment in his heart. This point difference is difficult to open up in the playoffs, and the momentum of the two teams has changed dramatically.
The Pistons are now less resilient.
Although Rasheed Wallace still hit one with a straight arm shot against Vallejo, although Hamilton quickly shot with a running catch and hit Qin Yang's defense.
But the Cavaliers didn't panic and scored one goal after another.
The margin was not narrowed, and at the end of the third quarter, the margin was still 20+.
Qin Yang showed an unparalleled ball intelligence at this time, when James repeatedly fought fire defense on the inside, Qin Yang helped Williams wipe his ass again and again on the outside.
Qin Yang's height and arm span are about the same as Prince's, and he may have a slight disadvantage, but in the face of most outside players, Qin Yang has a good positional advantage.
"Defense, not a block, but to make the opponent's shot uncomfortable and reduce the opponent's shooting rate."
Qin Yang has always followed McBrown's defensive principles, not giving the opponent a good chance when the outside line is misplaced and defending, Prince, Hamilton and Starkey played against Qin Yang in this game, and the shooting rate dropped significantly.
This kind of defense is rarely noticed by fans.
However, when the statistics are made after the game, it can be found that when Qin Yang defends against the position, he can significantly reduce the hit rate.
With the Cavaliers in full swing, the game was devastating.
In the final eight minutes, the Cavaliers even ruled out role players to experience the playoffs, and Dronte West was a main player on the court and became the core of the team.
