Chapter 171: The Battle of the Point Guards (2nd Update)

Generally speaking, the boss of any NBA team will play a pivotal role in his team's locker room.

For example, Cavaliers boss James. Although the Cavaliers' locker room boss is Big Z, James' influence in the locker room is not necessarily weak.

The same goes for superstars from other teams, such as Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant and others.

Moreover, the boss of the team has a very important place in the team's tactics.

The Cavaliers James occupies more than sixty percent of the Cavaliers' possession, and sometimes even reaches a terrifying eighty percent, and almost any attack by the Cavaliers has to pass through James' hands.

This kind of tactical position is incomparable to ordinary superstars.

The Magic are now the opposite.

The boss of the Magic locker room is Tony Barty, who is a Magic veteran who has been there for a long time and has a strong influence in the Magic locker room.

Dwight, as the boss, doesn't bother with the locker room at all.

It looks like a second-year teenager.

In this case, Qin Yang stepped forward to manage it.

No one on the Magic team dared to disagree.

In terms of tactics, the tactical beneficiary of the Magic team is Qin Yang, and the tactical core of the offensive end is also Qin Yang, Qin Yang easily got 25+15 data in these games, because of the tactical benefits.

Dwight Howard wasn't upset about these things.

The Magic team smoothly completed the internal turnover.

The game continues.

No. 3, the Magic played at home against the Suns.

This game was dubbed by the media as a battle between the old and new super point guards.

Nash vs. Qin Yang.

The two are the representatives of the point guards of the two eras, although Qin Yang has a lot of bad reputation, but because Qin Yang is young and has excellent data, he has attracted wide attention in the league.

Before the game, Nash was interviewed and praised Qin Yang:

"Bruce is a very good point guard, and at my age, I'm certainly not as good as he is, and in a way he's a little bit better than me."

Nash is a good talker, has been in the league for so many years, and is also a well-known superstar.

In particular, Nash's bombardment offense and small-ball tactics are helpless to play other teams. It's fair to say that Nash is the point guard who has led the league's tactical progress.

Qin Yang was also interviewed before the game and expressed his respect for his predecessors:

"In my mind, Steve Nash is a benchmark for point guards, other people are a kind of point guard, Steve Nash is another point guard, the player in the league who can make it to the 180 club, Steve Nash is the one who has had the most seasons so far, and it's likely that he can still do it this season."

"It's a miracle and it's what I'm working for."

Qin Yang knows how to be a man, but he can't please others.

Steve Nash's defense is very weak, Qin Yang will not take the initiative to bring it up, and it is naturally Nash's most incredible achievement to make Qin Yang mention it.

In the 05-06 season, the 07-08 season, and the 08-09 season, Steve Nash was a player for the 180 club.

In the last decade, only two players have been able to make it to the 180 club, Nowitzki in the '06-07 season, and then Steve Nash to the 180 club three times in a row.

There are so many other superstars that no one can do it.

That's where Steve Nash is really tough.

Nash has a lot of strengths, playing a flowing ball, accurate three-point shooting, unexpected passing, a fast breakaway tempo, and playing very well at point guard.

But for Qin Yang, the only thing Nash can learn from is the offensive options.

To put it simply, the 180 club illustrates the projection selection and projection level of the players, which is far from what half of the players can do.

Prior to this game, the Suns had made a good start to the season with four consecutive games, and the rest of the Magic team was also under pressure and felt the game was difficult.

But for Qin Yang, this game is actually not so troublesome.

At the beginning of the game, Howard jumped the ball successfully.

Qin Yang held the ball for half the court, and it was Richardson who defended Qin Yang.

Nash didn't dare to defend Qin Yang, and most of the team's point guards this season chose to admit it, not daring to be tough with Qin Yang, because in this case, he would be uncomfortable with himself.

Vince Carter made a light cover, and Qin Yang played against Nash again.

After facing Nash, Qin Yang did not rely on his height to shoot directly, but lowered his head and forced a breakthrough.

Nash's defense is poor, and that's admitted.

Among the previous generation of point guards, it was said that Kidd would not attack and not defend, which meant that Kidd would not attack and Nash would not defend, which was a bit biased, but it was very representative.

Jason Kidd's outside shooting percentage is simply a cripple, and as a point guard, the shooting percentage is so low, so Rondo is more iron than Kidd.

Nash is particularly poor in defense, this difference is not that Nash's defensive awareness is not good, or that he is slow, but Nash's strength is really too weak. Qin Yang, who had just entered the alliance, was not necessarily inferior in strength when he encountered Nash.

At that time, more than a month after the start of the season, Qin Yang did not get any chance to play.

Nash's power is evident.

After breaking through Nash, Qin Yang directly attacked the basket.

Slightly attracted to the defense, Qin Yang threw the ball to the basket, and Dwight Howard dunked easily.

The Suns' interior strength is not weak.

Now the starters are Channingfrye and Stoudemire, the offensive ability of the small bully Stoudemire is counted in the history of NBA big forwards, and Channingfrye is even better at projecting the inside, but the defense of the two is more terrifying than the other.

Qin Yang wanted to break through directly into the basket and dunk, but after thinking about it, he still passed the ball.

Howard dunked with ease, and he didn't encounter a strong defense at all.

That's the Suns.

The Suns attacked, and Steve Nash received the ball and broke through quickly.

Qin Yang also stepped back, avoiding Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, and then followed Nash again.

Nash dribbled and accelerated the breakthrough, Qin Yang followed closely, constantly hitting Nash with his body, interrupting Nash's breakthrough rhythm, this is the method Qin Yang chose.

Nash wanted to pass the ball but couldn't find a good chance.

Entering the half-court offense, Stoudemire came up to cover, Nash broke through directly, and then dropped the ball to Stoudemire, Stoudemire made an accelerated layup against Ryan Anderson.

Qin Yang looked at Ryan Anderson's lame speed, and he was uncomfortable to death.

But looking back, Qin Yang passed the ball to Ryan Anderson outside the three-point line, and Ryan Anderson shot in the open position and easily hit three points.

The Suns were going to play fast again, but it didn't work out well.

Qin Yang, as a point guard, knows best how to defend Nash, and can give Nash a chance to break through and attack, but he must interrupt Nash's offensive rhythm.

When Nash's rhythm is broken, the Suns' rhythm is broken.

Nash was 2-of-5 in the first quarter and played well, but the Suns trailed by 7 points.

Richardson and Grant Hill each went 0-for-3 and pit their teammates.
