Chapter 185: Outside Explosion (1st Update)
The competition has officially begun.
The Magic team changed the lineup, starting Qin Yang, Matt Barnes, Petrus, Brandonbass and Howard, this lineup is mainly defensive, and the offense is slightly weaker.
The Cavaliers started with Shaq O'Neal, LeBron James, Hixon, Mor Williams, and Dronte West.
Jumping ball, the Magic team won without any suspense.
Qin Yang holds the ball, and Delonte West defends.
Delonte West is the Cavaliers' outside defensive leader, and he can only defend Qin Yang, but in the face of Delonte West's defense, Qin Yang came up with a sneak attack, and suddenly jumped up outside the three-point line.
Delonte West, a beat slower, Qin Yang hit directly.
Sou!
Three-point advantage.
The Cavaliers attacked, James attacked with the ball, pushing Petrus forward, Pitrus was not weak, but he was helplessly pushed into the interior in the face of James.
James made a layup, met Howard's defense, and won two free throws.
James' bulldozer-style layup is really stable, strong offense under the basket, can attract the bag, can get free throws, this aspect is really helpless.
After making 2-of-2 free throws, the Magic went on attack again.
This time, after Brandonbass covered, Qin Yang passed the ball directly, Brandonbass received the ball, squeezed Hickson to shoot, but the basketball popped out of the frame.
O'Neal got the rebound under the basket, and the Cavaliers attacked.
Although O'Neal is old, slow, and weakened in all aspects, he still has strong strength, and this position to grab rebounds makes Howard very helpless.
James continued to hold the ball, and the basket met the defense and passed to Hixon.
Qin Yang misplaced the defense, Hickson forced a shot to pop up, and Brandonbas got the rebound.
The Cavaliers' tactics are still similar to last season, with the exception of O'Neal, who can't open up space, and the other three are pitchers who are ready to shoot at any time.
Hickson has been a starter this season for tactical reasons.
But Hickson's strength is really average, to be honest, even Vallejo is much stronger than Hickson, but Vallejo's mid-range shooting is not accurate, if he partners O'Neal, the inside line can't open up the space at all, so that there are four people in the basket, and it will be difficult for James to break through the basket, and the play will be limited.
Therefore, Vallejo worked hard to become a substitute.
The Magic team attacked, Qin Yang broke through with the help of cover, Hickson misplaced the defense, Qin Yang accelerated the emergency stop, and hit the board easily from the middle distance.
Hickson's defense was in tatters.
scored a goal, Qin Yang glanced back and saw Vallejo pouting on the side of the pitch, scolding expressionlessly, looking not very good.
This season, the Cavaliers have not been in harmony internally.
Valejo, who had just renewed his contract with an annual salary of eight million, became a substitute, which hurt Vallejo a lot.
The Cavaliers attacked, James forced a breakthrough again, Qin Yang stood on the periphery, stood in the middle of Mo Williams and Hickson, and when James passed, Qin Yang rushed out directly and made a steal.
Very stiff and straightforward tactical passes, which are prone to similar problems.
Holding the ball on the outside again, Qin Yang did not have the slightest politeness, and directly singled Delonte West.
In fact, although Qin Yang's offensive ability with the ball is widely criticized, it is actually not bad, Qin Yang rarely played alone with the ball last season, mainly because there was James in the team who could hold the ball alone, and the efficiency was much higher than his own, and at the same time, Qin Yang's strength was relatively weak, and when the ball alone encountered a strong defense, the hit rate would be greatly reduced.
But now, Qin Yang doesn't have to worry about it.
Qin Yang, the outside line of the Magic team, is the core, and there is nothing wrong with holding the ball alone. At the same time, Qin Yang's strength has also increased, although it is a little worse than the outside muscular man noted in the NBA, but the normal confrontation is no problem.
In this ball, Qin Yang directly singled Delonte West.
After Crossover, he retreated and worshiped the Buddha, and Delonte West was also very familiar with Qin Yang, so he didn't say a word and went directly to his body, and he didn't use his strength to overwhelm Qin Yang with anything.
When training in the team last season, Dronte West used this trick to restrict Qin Yang.
But now Qin Yang is directly relying on Delonte West, his strength is not false at all, and he shoots directly, Delonte West uses his strength to interfere with Qin Yang, so naturally he can't jump up and interfere with the shot.
Qin Yang's body was very stable, and he was not hit by the power of Delonte West, and directly hit the three-point shot.
After scoring this goal, Qin Yang's confidence increased greatly. With the ball in singles Mo Williams and Delonte West, coupled with the off-ball attack, Qin Yang should not be too rampant.
received the ball and shot, made a foul 2+1 under the basket, turned his back and forced a layup, pulled out a three-pointer on the spot, and forced a mid-distance shot to hit the board......
In this section, Qin Yang showed his outside offensive skills.
Delonte West and Morella Williams were both black-faced when they came off the field.
The two also played well on the offensive end of the game, and they felt super good, and they kept hitting the defenders, helping the Cavaliers stalemate the score.
But that doesn't change one fact.
Qin Yang blew up the outside line of the Cavaliers, completely and completely. Both Delonte West and Mo Williams were beaten by Qin Yang.
In the second quarter, Qin Yang frantically got 18 points and 4 assists.
The Magic led by 12 points.
12 points at half-time, which is a very big difference.
In the third quarter, Qin Yang went off the court, Vince Carter became the core of the offensive end, and Redick and Ryan Anderson played, but the format of the game was reversed.
Mo Williams, who didn't play well in the first half, came on in the last six minutes of the third quarter and played well, shooting 6-of-6 from the field.
As a result, the Cavaliers moved back some of the scores.
At the end of the third quarter, the Magic led by five points.
It was a dangerous margin of sorting, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers turned on furious mode again, and the first ball Dronte West singled with the ball.
In the face of Redick's defense, he forced a shot and hit a three-point shot.
This moment...... Delonte West is like Qin Yang possessed, and his three-point shot is incredible.
After Qin Yang's three-point shot hit the iron, Dronte West ran without the ball, received a pass from James, and hit a mid-range shot again, and Petrus was helpless.
Both of these balls are fairy balls and are very difficult to hit.
Normally it's unthinkable that a ball like this appears once, but the Cavaliers appear twice.
The margin was equalized again.
In the last eight minutes, the game entered a critical moment.
Qin Yang dribbled the ball over half the court with an expressionless face, and attacked with the ball on the outside. Redick ran after making a cover, Qin Yang broke through with the help of the cover, and Dronte West followed very closely.
Qin Yang was a corossover, stopped and accelerated, and rushed straight to the basket.
The Cavaliers' defense under the basket is not good enough, and Qin Yang enters the basket to score more securely.
Dronte West followed without hesitation, and followed Qin Yang with an almost foul move, Qin Yang went directly to the basket, and Dronte West also rushed up.
At the critical moment, Qin Yang raised his arm, spun around in the air, and hit Drontewest's arm with both hands.
Swing the arm big loop!
