Chapter 13: The Only Chance

No. 7, home game against the Pacers.

The Pacers are a very tough underdog, and they've been tough all these years.

But for Qin Yang, this is good news, because only when they meet a weak team can the Cavaliers take a big lead. After that, as a substitute for the bench, Qin Yang had a chance to play.

But a weak team is not necessarily weak.

At the beginning of this game, the Cavaliers were beaten by the Pacers at home.

In the first quarter, the Pacers went on a rampage. Granger, the boss of the Pacers, as an inspirational model, did not have the slightest cowardice in the face of LeBron James and played very actively.

In the first quarter, Granger scored 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting, while LeBron played comprehensively, but his 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists were slightly inferior.

LeBron is very strong, not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.

But Daniel Granger is a different form of play.

Playing is not domineering, not ostentatious, but ...... But it's very important.

Although his appearance is not good, but after LeBron was slightly blocked, Granger directly stopped the jump shot, and LeBron hurried to help defend, but it was not in place at all.

Every ball, Granger played simply and effectively, clearly and clearly.

Most of the time, Granger is mainly from the outside line, and he doesn't have Rose's domineering breakthroughs and dunks, but even so, his performance is not inferior.

Granger's projection isn't necessarily very high, but his pace and technique are good.

Left-handed shots are difficult for the average person to defend.

If it weren't for Big Z's outburst in the first quarter, 2-of-3 and all 4 free throws, the Cavaliers would have trailed by double digits in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, after LeBron went off the court, the Cavaliers performed even worse.

Delond Twest and Daniel Gibson played various irons, but Mo Williams broke through to the basket at a critical moment and scored a lot to help the team save some scores.

No way, six minutes after the second quarter, LeBron was on the court again.

The Cavaliers trailed by 15 points.

After getting on the court, LeBron took the lead, forced into the basket and caused a foul, and hit both free throws. But looking back, Granger assisted on Murphy's three-pointer.

Murphy's outside defender Murphy Williams looked depressed, and Coach Brown shouted loudly outside, but there was nothing he could do.

Murphy is a power forward, but he only shoots from the outside, and the height difference makes it impossible for Moremca Williams to defend at all.

That's not all, after Daniel Granger ate alone, Granger passed to Murphy again, Murphy shot from mid-range, and Dronte West picked up and fouled the beater.

The ball went in.

2+1！

In the blink of an eye, the Cavaliers trailed by 21 points.

LeBron had a gloomy face on the court, and Coach McBrown called a timeout on the sidelines, then his eyes swept around the courtside, and finally landed on Qin Yang.

"Bruce, you're on the pitch next, and you're out of position to defend Murphy."

Coach Brown named Qin Yang, Qin Yang's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists.

The Cavaliers made substitutions, Big Z went off, Delonte West went off, and Qin Yang and Vallejo were substituted.

Coach Brown was talking about the key to defense on the sidelines, and Qin Yang kept nodding, but he ...... Who will pay attention to what he is saying. Qin Yang's thoughts had already reached the court.

The game begins.

Murphy makes a free throw, and he hits it safely.

The Cavaliers attacked, with Mo Williams dribbling across half court and handing it to LeBron James, who was standing high up, with the others opening up space and position.

Vallejo stepped forward to block and dismantle, and then when he arrived at Ruo Xue, Qin Yang quietly ran and came to the bottom corner.

The bottom corner is the best place to open up positions for teammates who break through, Qin Yang is in the bottom corner, which naturally attracts attention, but who is Qin Yang, even the commentator can't recognize the Cavaliers' own players. So Jarrett Jack, who defended Qin Yang, didn't care at all, but went to trap LeBron.

The next moment, when LeBron entered the basket, he encountered the bag clip, and the basketball flew out towards Qin Yang.

Vacancy!

Qin ** did not hesitate, nor did he look at Mo Williams, who had already run out of the vacant seat not far away. At the moment of receiving the ball, Qin Yang jumped up slightly, not doing his best, but quickly, very quickly, without any buffer.

Raise your arms and gently swing the basketball with your wrist strength.

"LeBron's passing, receiving, shooting...... It's too fast, there's a vacancy, it should be ......"

The commentator hadn't finished speaking, but the next moment, a smile appeared on the corner of Qin Yang's mouth after the shot, and he didn't look at the basketball, and walked back directly.

Sou!

Three-pointers scored.

“three point!”

“bang！”

"Unbelievably good shot, I have to say that this Chinese man performed well, this three-point shot was very timely, very critical, and now the difference is back to 18 points, and there is hope for the Clevelands."

A three-point shot was shot, and Qin Yang's face showed a hint of excitement.

"It's a great start."

Qin Yang couldn't help but shout in his heart: "I won't return to the bench again, never." ”

LeBron James stepped forward to high-five Qin Yang to celebrate, and Qin Yang did not live up to the kindness of the team boss. It's just that Mo Williams, who saw this scene, didn't look very good.

The Pacers attack.

Granger held the ball and passed to Murphy, and Qin Yang assisted in the defense from the outside.

Murphy is more than two meters tall, and he naturally shoots easily without pressure in the face of the general back, just like Qin Yang faces other point guards, but Murphy faces Qin Yang's defense, and the pressure is much greater.

As a result, there was no way, and Murphy had to pass the ball to TJ Ford.

Ford faced Mo Williams and did not have much advantage, but at this time, Murphy went up to block and dismantle, and Ford was misplaced to face Qin Yang. Seeing Qin Yang so tall, Ford accelerated, Qin Yang chased forward but couldn't do it, Ford touched Qin Yang with a burst, and after entering the basket, he made a layup.

"Defend yourself."

Mo Williams roared at Qin Yang.

Qin Yang glanced at Williams and didn't say anything.

The Cavaliers attacked, Mo Williams held the ball and launched the attack first, but when he entered the basket, he was defended by Hibbert, and after the layup, Vallejo was strong to the rebound, and after facing the defense, he made a false hand and passed the ball to Qin Yang on the side three-point line.

This time, Qin Yang was not an empty seat, and Murphy quickly came up to help.

But Qin ** didn't care about Murphy, and jumped up directly to shoot a three-point shot.

Murphy's speed is slow, the so-called defensive pressure is not great, and Murphy's bounce is weak, he didn't provoke, when Qin Yang provoked, Murphy couldn't defend in place.

Sure enough, after Qin Yang made a move, Murphy's defense had just arrived.

Sou!

The three-pointer hit again.

The expression on Qin Yang's face this time was still very monotonous, and he just waved his fist with his right hand to express his excitement.

The margin returned to fifteen points.
