Chapter 274: Explosion (1st Update)
This season, the Magic made their first shot, accounting for more than eighty percent.
It's a little weird.
Generally speaking, it is the default practice that the first shot of the team will be given to the team boss, and if the attentive fan takes a closer look, you will find that the core of each team occupies a very high proportion of the team's first shot in each game.
This is a default rule.
The Magic team is different, Howard's offensive skills are too poor, basically relying on physical fitness to attack, and it is difficult for Howard to stand up when encountering players with large tonnage and strong defense.
Therefore, most of the Magic's offense is launched from the outside.
This was the case when Turkoglu was the core of the Magic team, and now Qin Yang is the same as the core of the team.
It is not unreasonable for Howard to have opinions about Coach Van Gundy, for example, Qin Yang's possession of the ball in the team is particularly heavy, and many times, Qin Yang has to pass the ball to Howard in order to appease Howard.
This is the main reason why Howard has averaged a career-high number of points per game this season.
The first ball, after Howard's dunk, beat his chest in celebration.
turned around and high-fived Qin Yang in celebration.
The atmosphere in the team is good.
On the bench, teammates shook towels to steal the spotlight. It's a pity that the strength is not enough and the show-stealing failed.
The Cavaliers attacked, and James was still breaking through with the ball. James' breakthrough, which looks stupid and unaesthetic, is directly forced into the interior like a tank.
But in reality, this breakthrough is very skillful.
If it is an ordinary person, such a breakthrough is likely to be fouled, or blocked, but James is not an ordinary person, Petrus has worked hard to defend, but James is still strong into the interior.
After entering the interior line, under the tough confrontation of Petrus, James hit directly from mid-range.
Howard and O'Neal were battling each other and couldn't help defend in time, while James wasn't under the basket at all, just close to the basket from mid-range.
James' shooting is getting stronger and stronger in this position.
Since entering the league, James has not improved much, but he has improved every year, and now James' mid-range shooting is quite felt.
The Magic had expected this kind of thing for a long time and were not in the slightest hurry.
The Magic offense and turned to the perimeter.
Qin Yang was not polite and directly singled Anthony Parker. Anthony Parker's defense is average, and Qin Yang is now more confident as he gets bigger.
Unless it is an outside super defensive player whose height, speed, and arm span are very perverted, Qin Yang is confident that he can play directly alone.
After carefully dribbling, Qin Yang accelerated directly, Anthony Parker moved his body, Qin Yang pulled the ball, and directly stepped back to shoot a three-point shot, and Anthony Parker was a beat slower.
Sou!
The ball goes in.
This ball, Qin Yang is handling it more and more smoothly.
Even this ball gives people a feeling that Qin Yang's progress can almost be seen with the naked eye, and when Qin Yang shoots a three-point shot like this in the last game, it is relatively easy to be interfered with.
But this time, Qin Yang's three-point shot gave people the feeling that it was unstoppable.
"Bruce Qin's three-point shot is a bit weird."
"Anthony Parker is a step slower, and the Cavaliers can't guard against it at all unless they replace someone else,"
ESPN's commentator spoke straight up.
The players of both teams were a little confused.
"Bruce, your three-point shot is getting better and better."
Mo Williams said the same thing when he returned to defense.
Qin Yang did not reply, Mo Williams is also a tease, no matter how good the relationship is in private, what do you mean by saying hello so on the court, ready to hug your thighs, or dissatisfied with the Cavaliers.
Mo Williams has too low EQ.
The Cavaliers attacked, James passed to the outside, Mo Williams didn't find a chance, passed to Anthony Parker, Qin Yang defended, and his fingers directly touched the shot.
Turning around, Qin Yang took a step forward and got the basketball.
A very nice cap.
Amway Arena Commentary:
"Bruce Qin's defense is very good, this arm span and bounce are not weak at all, why hasn't anyone mentioned it before?"
"Maybe it's because he doesn't give us the impression that he's a good defender, that he's not very physical."
Last season, Howard won the league's block king and best defensive player, but Howard complained in an interview that his teammates' outside defense was too poor and always made up for himself.
It's not a lie, the Magic relied on Howard for most of their defense last season.
But this season is different.
After Barnes arrived, there was an extra strong defensive player on the outside, and when he encountered the outside core on the opposite side, Barnes would play for a long time to limit the opponent's offensive core.
And Pierus was corrected to start, and the arrival of Qin Yang made the Magic team almost no defensive defects on the outside.
This season, Qin Yang's defensive efficiency is quite high, but in the flow of impressions, Qin Yang's explosiveness is not strong, and he rarely blocks it, giving people a feeling that his defense is very weak.
The Magic team attacked, Qin Yang was unceremoniously and singled again.
Anthony Parker was directly frightened by Qin Yang's crossover, and was stunned but didn't react, Qin Yang directly stopped and jumped out of his hand, and Anthony Parker could only subconsciously stretch out his hand.
Backbite!
The basketball crossed the net, the whistle sounded, and there was no suspense for 3+1.
Qin Yang made free throws, and the Cavaliers made substitutions.
Anthony Parker was a little too poor on this end, and the defensive end was almost entirely a showmanship.
The Cavaliers' best defensive player, Delonte West, came on the court, and Qin Yang met Delonte, who was even more aggressive. I remember when I first entered the league, Qin Yang encountered Delonte's defense during the training match, the offensive end was completely useless, the defensive end couldn't be prevented, and he couldn't even pass the ball.
Hickson and James block and receive a pass from James to hit.
Rashad Lewis defended a little worse.
The Magic team attacked, and Qin Yang was still singles.
Qin Yang is already a little obsessed with singles now, it is still crossover, Qin Yang shook his shoulders, and then accelerated directly, Delonte West stepped forward and used his strength to block the position.
Qin Yang was bumped and retreated.
Dronte West went up to the front half to interfere with the shot.
Qin Yang pulled the ball, moved a step on the right side of his right foot, and jumped up with his left and right feet at the same time. ,
Dronte West has good defensive skills, jumping straight up and interfering with shots.
But it didn't work.
The moment Qin Yang jumped up, his body was still rising, and the basketball flew out with a whoosh.
When Delonte interfered, the basketball was halfway in the air.
There was nothing wrong with this defense at all, but Qin Yang still hit it.
This feeling is the most helpless.
James turned around and comforted Dronte West, who quickly emerged from his frustration and was even more aggressive. This time, Dronte West made more small moves, and the strength of the confrontation became stronger and stronger.
Sometimes, he would rather foul than let Qin Yang hit.
The game didn't go very well.
However, Qin Yang's purpose was achieved.
The Cavaliers' outside defense was completely attracted by Qin Yang, as long as Qin Yang held the ball on the outside, and everyone else was engrossed in helping to defend, his teammates got a chance.
