The league-wide is booming with the Thunder and Kings.

There's no way, it's not a fault to be noticed, and Qin Yang doesn't want to. But the fans just like themselves, and the Thunder are very popular.

The media hyped up, but the core of both teams was quite restrained.

Kevin Durant:

"I think it's a really good series, the fans can see everything they want to see, Bruce Chin is a very good superstar and I would love to meet him on the pitch."

James Harden:

'We're good friends, we've been training together on the same pitch for a long time in the off-season and we know each other very well, so I'm hoping to really fight on the pitch this time.'

Durant and Harden have a good relationship with Qin Yang and get along with each other.

On the contrary, when I was interviewed by Westbrook, I was a little angry:

"Bruce Qin is really good, but I'm going to prove that I'm better than him, and the Thunder will knock out the Kings and advance to the finals."

Yes, you are excellent.

Qin Yang could only be vague, focusing on Kevin Durant and James Harden in an interview, describing the passion of the three, and praising the Thunder team, but Westbrook and Qin Yang didn't mention it.

It's not good for Westbrook.

Even about Westbrook, a lot of people in the league know about it.

At a very young age, Westbrook had a good friend who was very talented in basketball and was covered by the media in junior high school.

But his friend unfortunately died of illness.

Driven by the desire of his friends, Westbrook worked hard and trained himself in college.

What's even more amazing is that Westbrook's talent suddenly became better, and after entering the NBA, his performance became better and better.

This is the story of a black man at the bottom who finally became a billionaire after continuous struggle.

Very inspiring.

It's the American dream.

But what's the use of this, nine out of ten black people in the NBA have similar experiences, but Westbrook has a low EQ, a lack of IQ, and a recognized brain failure in playing.

Many players don't pass the ball because they like to play singles and don't pass the ball well.

Westbrook doesn't pass because he's brain-dead.

There's nothing wrong with that.

May 9th.

Game 1 of the second round of the playoffs.

The Kings play the Oklahoma City Thunder away.

Before the game, Coach Van Gundy once again emphasized tactics: "Don't wrap up, let the core of the Thunder team play singles, do a good job of assisting defense inside, and if others change defenses, they must be decisive and don't give the other party a chance." ”

Van Gundy's tactic, Qin Yang did not agree with it very much.

The two also communicated in private.

But Coach Van Gundy is more prepared and can play against the Heat, but the Thunder's Durant and Harden are very accurate in their three-point shots, and if they shoot three-pointers, the game will be difficult to play.

Therefore, it can only be based on single defense.

The tactics are set, and the next step is to see how they play.

The game begins.

Cousins beat Ibaka to win the jump ball, Qin Yang's team has always had a great advantage on the jump ball, and since partnering with Howard, Qin Yang has become accustomed to the first attack initiated by himself.

Qin Yang holds the ball, and it is Seforrosa who defends Qin Yang.

The Thunder started with few flaws.

Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins, Seforrosa, the first three are All-Star strengths, and the latter two are suitable as role players.

Seforosa is two metres tall, fast, defensively good, and as a role player, although not well-known, he is good enough.

Qin Yang faced Seforrosa, and he had to dodge and fight in the past.

With the help of cover and pick-and-roll, dodge this defensive strong point.

But this time, Qin Yang saw Seforosa, directly crossover the dribble breakthrough, continuous feints, Seforosa didn't follow, Qin Yang easily entered the basket.

Serge Ibaka has been very good defensively and has had a lot of blocks this season.

But Qin Yang was not false at all, after pretending to shoot under the basket, he easily dodged the block, took Ibaka's arm on his hand, and then threw the ball out.

Backbite!

The whistle blows and the basketball goes to the basket.

2+1。

At the beginning, Qin Yang played a 2+1.

The head coach of the Thunder team was huffing next to him and almost scolded, but fortunately, it was a national live broadcast and he held back.

Thunder offense.

The first ball, Westbrook broke through directly, Garcia's defense was very strong, but Westbrook was horizontal, after an acceleration and change of direction, he rushed in with the person, Garcia could keep up with the first step, and he couldn't keep up with the second step.

Westbrook went on a rampage as if he were carrying a turtle shell on his back.

When it came to the basket, Westbrook jumped straight up and shot.

Zombie Jump!

This is one of the few Westbrook stunts in the past two seasons.

To be honest, it's actually a close-to-mid-range shot, a little bit close to the basket, but as a break-through guard, this mid-range shot is practical and crucial.

The only flaw is that it's too ugly.

When Westbrook made a move, he was like a zombie, and he had no aesthetic sense.

Kenny Smith:

"Every time I see Russell Westbrook's shot, I feel like he should go to Bruce and Ray Allen to learn from him, and his shot is definitely the ugliest in the league."

Charles Barkley:

"I feel like I'm shooting better than him."

Charles Barkley pretended to be another force.

Although Charles Barkley did not win the championship, his strength is undoubted, and his mid-range shooting strength is really good.

However, what Qin Yang saw was that Westbrook had reduced another flaw.

No matter how ugly it is, just score goals.

Kings attack.

Qin Yang began to play tactics and kept single-handedly Seforosa, which was not a good choice. After Darko covered, Qin Yang gave the ball directly to Darko.

Darko received the ball high up, dribbled through, dodged a steal from Westbrook and passed to Francisco Garcia.

Garcia went straight to the empty position, shot near the three-point line, and hit the mid-range steadily.

Westbrook's steal was too hasty, and Darko was not at the beginning of the season, so he was a little unstable, and he panicked when he encountered this kind of bag steal.

Now as soon as Darko passes, the Kings get their chance.

Qin Yang attracted the defense on the other side, and the Thunder's defense couldn't be in place at all.

The Kings' offensive tactics worked.

But back in the day, the Thunder attacked.

Kevin Durant singled again, a big stride to break through, Durant's height can play inside, play small forward position, as long as Durant finds an opportunity and takes a step, it will be difficult to defend, Rudy Gay follows closely behind, and Daco assists in defense.

Durant found an opportunity and passed straight to Ibaka.

Ibaka shot from close range and hit it safely.

The Thunder's offense, the Kings can't defend either.

One-on-one defense, the effect is not good.

Eight minutes into the first quarter, Coach Van Gundy first called a timeout.

The Kings' offense isn't a big problem, but it's clear that the defense isn't good enough, not because the tactics aren't good enough, it's because the tactics can't be limited.

"Next, change tactics!"
