Chapter 193: A Belated Duel (1st Update)
In fact, it was similar to what Qin Yang thought.
The Celtics are the best at playing against the wind, when they were behind by 20 points, they reversed the Lakers and finally won the championship, which of course had the reason why a superstar of the Lakers team died by himself, but fundamentally, the Celtics' defense was too strong and could grind the opponent to death little by little.
A little closer to the score puts pressure on the leader.
As long as the other party can't bear such pressure, he will slowly collapse on his own.
Being ahead is sometimes not a good thing, and that's the case.
But Qin Yang is different, although he has been in the league for one season, he has played three seasons in the virtual training space, and he has a good control over the rhythm.
The Celtics are not in a hurry, Qin Yang is not in a hurry, as long as the Magic team stabilizes, it will win.
In the first ball, Qin Yang passed to Vince Carter, Pierce defended very well, Vince Carter didn't get a chance, and Qin Yang received the pass again.
This pass is actually used to kill time.
Qin Yang himself knew very well.
Vince Carter covered, Qin Yang broke through directly and slowly, Lei Allen quickly followed, and Qin Yang walked to the right unhurriedly.
The Magic's tactical run began instantly.
Vince Carter is ready to cut on the left side, Rashad Lewis is moving slowly high and waiting for an open opportunity, and Howard is in position, ready to grab rebounds and catch the basket for a strong shot.
Petrus kept running on the outside and attracted the defense.
Qin Yang was not in a hurry, his eyes glanced at Rashad Lewis, pulled the ball with his right hand, pretended to pass the ball, Lei Allen's body moved to the left, and after Qin Yang's body moved to the left, he instantly broke through to the right side.
Fake Fax Surprise!
This kind of little trick is rarely understood.
Generally, only very talented players can gradually understand this style of play after many games.
This kind of offensive skills are very demanding for players, coordination, and man-ball combination ability must be very good, Pierce's dance steps are similar to this, but Pierce is mainly based on offensive feints, and Qin Yang is based on passing as feints.
Qin Yang broke through on the right side and went directly to the basket, and Garnett assisted in the defense.
Qin Yang glanced at Howard and pretended to pass, Garnett reacted and did not lose his position, Qin Yang broke through on the right side and dribbled behind his back.
Kevin Garnett was deceived this time, and Qin Yang easily broke through on the left side and scored a layup.
The wonderful five best balls are completely the embodiment of personal ability.
After passing three people in a row, he finally scored an easy layup, which suddenly suppressed the momentum of the Celtics. The Celtics wanted to counterattack, and Kevin Garnett got a chance to score on a big jumper, but it didn't do much.
Qin Yang held the ball, consumed time on the outside, and after three consecutive passes, Qin Yang broke through directly, stepped back and pretended to shoot a three-point shot, attracted the defense and passed to Rashad Lewis, who hit a three-point shot.
The Magic's lead is solid.
The Celtics are very resilient and still attack slowly.
Even if the Magic team made two mistakes in a row, Qin Yang was not in a hurry, and in the last three minutes, Qin Yang passed to Howard to dunk and score, and the victory was decided.
Celtic replaced the main player and conceded defeat.
This battle for the best has also come to an end.
Qin Yang was 11 of 20, 4 of 5 free throws, and got 31 points, 9 assists and 2 rebounds, and Howard was very efficient, 8 of 14, mostly dunks and air cuts, and 5 of 10 free throws, with 21 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Except for Qin Yang and Howard, the efficiency of the rest of the Magic team is average.
Kevin Garnett was 5-of-13, Paul Pierce was 7-of-22, Ray Allen was 7-of-18 and Rajon Rondo was 5-of-13.
The defense couldn't contain the Magic, and the Celtics lost without suspense.
After the game, the Celtic triumvirate was silent and didn't talk much in interviews.
Instead, Howard was elated:
"We're doing well, the Magic team is very strong, everybody played to their strengths, that's the root cause of our victory, and the only goal for the Magic this season is a championship."
Howard smiled like a second-hand goods, and Qin Yang couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Qin Yang was very low-key when he was interviewed:
"Celtic are a strong team, they pressed us a lot with their pressing defence, we played better, we were in better shape, we shot a lot of balls, and that's why we won."
In the game, Qin Yang faced Rajan Longdo many times, and shot as if he was out of place.
On the defensive end, he also put a lot of pressure on Rajon Long, and the opponent was miserable.
But after the game, Qin Yang never mentioned anything about the game, and he didn't even have any evaluation of Rajon Rondo.
Qin Yang can't forget what happened when he was targeted by Rondo in the Chicago training camp after Qin Yang was defeated, and he doesn't say it now, just because it was inappropriate.
Speaking it out now, it will give people the feeling of a small belly chicken intestines.
Rondo won't say it either, because it's a shame.
But just because you don't say it doesn't mean you won't be known.
The next day, the cover of the American Weekly featured two almost identical pictures.
"A belated showdown."
"A little over a year ago, in Chicago training camp, a point guard who was undrafted but the Celtics were beaten to the ground. The two almost clashed, and the reason for that was that the undrafted pick hit a three-pointer in the face of Rajon Rondo. ”
"More than a year later, in the game between the Magic and the Celtics, the undrafted pick was once again powerful, facing Rajon Rondo 3-of-4, and the Celtics head coach who played was yelling non-stop."
"A year later, the late showdown is still so thrilling."
The American Weekly is a gossip newspaper, and although the festival is not enough, it is full of gimmicks.
The stadium duel a year ago, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth, this kind of plot and story is known to all fans and viewers.
Even the whole story could be written.
Qin Yang inadvertently had a fire.
When he got off the plane, Howard pulled Qin Yang to the middle of the bus, took out the American Weekly, and his eyes lit up: "Bruce, is this thing true?" Were you really bullied by Rajon Rondo at the time? ”
As soon as Howard spoke, everyone else looked at him.
Qin Yang shrugged:
"It's not that exaggerated, he was a star at the time, and I was a draft loser, and after a couple of shots in front of him, he targeted me and almost got into a fight with me."
"If it were me, I'd beat him."
Matt Barnes looked fierce, and the rest of the Magic team screamed.
"Bruce, next time the Celtics come to Orlando, you must beat him up, we can't make them feel better."
"yes, next time I'm on the court, I'm going to reward him with a few big hats."
At this time, Matt Barnes and his teammates' words made people's hearts warm, and everyone in the Magic team clamored for a fight, and blackmailed Qin Yang for a meal by the way.
Qin Yang accepted it happily, and the atmosphere in the Magic team was much better.
Coach Van Gundy, who was on the other side of the bus, smiled when he heard the words.
