Chapter 489: Mentality Suppression
"In the next game, the Thunder will panic and play more aggressively, and we are on the contrary, in the first three quarters, play more tactics, pass the ball more, find opportunities and then shoot, let them be tired of coping."
"Wait until the last quarter, and then strengthen the confrontation."
Qin Yang directly said his own way.
Coach Van Gundy was also supportive.
It's a simple and obvious tactic, but it's much more effective.
The Thunder will definitely have to fight for one game, run more, increase the confrontation, and will be the focus in the next game.
At this time, go and fight hard with the Thunder team?
That's brain-dead.
Qin Yang wouldn't be so stupid.
One blow, then decline, three exhaustion, as long as the Kings let the opponent tired to deal with it, wait until the last quarter to exert force, it is easy to deal a fatal blow to the opposing side.
On May 18th, the fourth game began.
This time, the Kings' starters changed, and Rudy Gay became Cosby. Ray Allen became Klay Thompson.
This lineup change made the Thunder a little confused.
Charles Barkley:
"At such a critical moment in the fourth game, Coach Van Gundy chose to change the lineup, and replaced him with Cosby, who rarely played in this series, which is really surprising, are they going to play against each other in this game?"
Charles Barkley was somewhat incomprehensible.
Kenny Smith said: "It's not impossible to attack, with Bruce Qin, the Kings' offense will always be the best one." ”
The two sides jumped the ball, Ibaka jumped like crazy, and after Westbrook took the ball, he rushed straight out.
Cousins quickly returned to the defense, but was a step slower.
Westbrook was too fierce, super fast, super explosive, and hit the basket directly, almost an open layup.
The first goal was scored, and Westbrook was patting his chest, very arrogant.
This is Wei Shao, with a very distinct personality.
Kings attack.
On the first ball, Qin Yang played very steadily, and after Darko covered, Qin Yang slowly dribbled and attracted the defense to pass the ball to Cosby.
Cosby breaks through and shares the ball again to Klay Thompson.
Klay Thompson hesitated, the defense was in place, and passed to Qin Yang again, after Qin Yang took the ball, he passed the ball with momentum, and then shot directly.
Sou!
Three-pointers scored.
Fake fax shots.
Sephorosa was a step slower, and there was no interference in place at all.
Sefrosa has been one of the best defenders at the back this season, and many defenders have been suffering from his defence.
Bryant has said he's one of the best players on duty on the lineback.
But in this round of the series, Sephorosa was beaten by Qin Yang in doubt.
When others play, they either break through or shoot, but Qin Yang is good at them all, and they are all perverted.
It's hard to break through, and it's okay if the rhythm changes quickly. The key is that the shooting is perverted and accurate, and the three-point shot is panicked.
That's not all, the passing is so good.
Sephorosa said he was saddened.
The Thunder attacked, Westbrook ignored Durant's request, directly took the ball to the basket, and made a difficult layup under the basket, the basketball went into the net, and he fell to the ground.
It's a pity that the ball didn't blow for a foul.
Cousins is in a good position, and he doesn't get hard, and it's normal not to blow fouls.
You can't blow a foul just because Westbrook is down.
After the goal, Westbrook smacked his chest and roared.
This is the real Westbrook.
Durant was expressionless and could only defend back.
The game continues.
The Kings played very steadily, they were not in a hurry without a single ball, they had to wear it several times, and the opposing players defended very tightly, so they passed the ball steadily and found an opportunity to shoot again.
The Thunder's Westbrook worked hard, constantly switching defenses on the defensive end, but the Kings were solid.
Steady as a dog!
That was the tone of the first three games of this game, and the Kings got off to a great start.
Qin Yang reduced his strong offense and integrated himself into the collective, making 3 of 5 in the first quarter and scoring 6 points and 3 assists.
The Thunder led by just one point in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Kings were still very steady, but at the end of the second quarter, the Kings began to make mistakes.
Ray Allen and Klay Thompson missed back-to-back misses, and the Thunder took the opportunity to overtake the game.
At halftime, the Kings trailed by seven points.
It's not a big point difference, but the Thunder are happy.
During the break, Qin Yang spoke in the locker room:
"We played well in the first half, we were all staying, the momentum of the Thunder team has slowly gone down, continue to maintain it in the third quarter, let the opposite side run more, and wait until the fourth quarter is exerting strength, and reverse the score in one fell swoop."
Qin Yang's words stabilized the army's heart.
Klay Thompson's few shots in the second quarter were a bit hasty.
It seems to have a good opportunity, but the shot is not stable, so it's a bit bad.
It's not a big problem, though.
Coach Van Gundy continued to play tactics.
The third quarter begins.
Qin Yang played, with Qin Yang on the court, there was a clear difference between the two teams, and the Kings team became obviously more stable.
When the Thunder team was defending, they had more scruples, always thinking about paying attention to Qin Yang, and the others got a chance.
In this section, Qin Yang is still incarnated as a role player.
Passing, covering, rebounding all played well.
The data of 3 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds helped the team stabilize the point difference.
Everything was expected.
But in the fourth quarter, the Kings were on their way.
In the first three quarters, the Kings obviously lacked confrontation, and the team was hiding from the outside, not being tough on the opposite side.
It's all about running and playing tactics, looking for opportunities to shoot.
But in the final quarter, Rudy Gay came on.
As soon as Rudy Gay, who had been holding back for the whole game, came out, he increased the confrontation of the Kings, and Qin Yang even shot to defend Westbrook.
Westbrook's outside shooting is very unreassuring, so Qin Yang only needs to break through defensively.
Westbrook is not as difficult to defend as it seems.
On the first ball, Cousins gave him a big hat under the basket.
Qin Yang's interference was in place, and Westbrook had limited space to make a shot, so he gave Cousins a chance.
When Qin Yang got the ball, it was immediately a long pass.
Rudy Gay directly and quickly impacted, entered the basket and received Qin Yang's long pass to score a layup, and no one else could keep up.
The Thunder attacked, and Durant finally hit from the outside.
But this ball hit a little speechless, it belongs to the fairy ball.
The Kings attacked, Qin Yang broke through, threw the ball high after entering the basket, Cousins jumped a dunk, and also made Kendrick Perkins foul.
It's a pity that the free throw missed.
The Thunder attacked, and Westbrook hit a layup.
Darko got the rebound, the Thunder team quickly returned to defense, Qin Yang was not in a hurry this time, and slowly played half-court offense.
After Ray Allen covered, Qin Yang broke through and passed to Darko, who played high and had no chance, and passed the ball to Ray Allen, who was running.
Ray Allen got an open spot at a crucial moment.
Westbrook, who defended him, was helping to defend Qin Yang, which was a huge mistake.
Ray Allen scored an easy layup from close range.
The margin was quickly reversed.
The Kings took the lead.
