"Matt worked hard, if it wasn't for the kind of running like you, Hamilton might have scored 20 points in the first quarter, and he felt amazing in this game."

Qin Yang collapsed Matt Barnes at the right time.

In basketball, every teammate is indispensable.

Matt Barnes had a poor offensive performance in the first quarter, making 0-of-3 open positions and pitting on the offensive end, but Coach Van Gundy didn't replace Barnes.

Because no one other than Barnes is fit to defend Hamilton.

On the defensive end, Barnes contributed enough to be one of the main reasons why the Magic were leading this quarter.

Barnes was originally a little angry, but as soon as Qin Yang appeased him at this time, Barnes immediately smiled and felt much more comfortable. The atmosphere of the Magic team is also better because of it.

The game went on quickly.

In the second quarter, the Magic team changed their minds.

Jason Williams came on the court, and the Magic played offensive tactics and the tempo became much faster.

Ryan Anderson partnered Gortat on the inside, Vince Carter was responsible for attacking the basket, and the Magic's lineup was still very competitive. It's just that when it's time to actually play, it's a completely different story.

Jason Williams vs. Starkey, nothing at all.

Starkey can become the core of the Pistons, it is not unreasonable, passing, breaking, shooting, defense, are all above the level, although it is reluctant to become the core of a team, but it is no problem to become a starter.

Jason Williams is not good at defense, and Starkey plays well against Jason Williams.

But the best performance in the second quarter was Prince.

In the first quarter, Qin Yang played against Prince most of the time, Prince was 1 of 3, and he played poorly, almost becoming the backstabber of the Pistons' backwardness, but in the second quarter Prince broke out.

Vince Carter is not good at defense, Prince can break through or shoot with a little bit of coverage, and Prince's passing is above the level.

In the second quarter, Prince was 4-of-7 from the field and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, finishing with 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

With Prince's excellent play, the Pistons moved back to some scores at 30-26.

The Pistons were very tenacious at home, not at all disappointed or discouraged by falling behind, everyone was able to fight and grab, and worked both ends of the floor.

Ben Wallace didn't perform well, but as a spiritual leader, Qin Yang had to admit that he helped the Pistons a lot.

After halftime, the Magic led by just five points.

But the Magic weren't in a hurry.

"In the third quarter, Dwight paid attention to the cooperation with Bruce, and there was a chance for Bruce to make more shots, try to beat the opponent in the third quarter, and give other teammates a chance to play, and then we have several tough battles."

Coach Van Gundy said unceremoniously.

Qin Yang nodded.

As the core, Qin Yang thinks far more than other players, and the next Magic team will play against the Mavericks, Cavaliers, Rockets, Hornets and Heat one after another.

These teams are stronger than the other, and it is a good option to keep playing with the stamina and even give up one or two of them.

The Pistons are a weak team, and if they drag on the Pistons for too long, the rest of the game will be very difficult.

Qin Yang played about 32 minutes this season, and he didn't play for more than a quarter in each game, which was to protect Qin Yang from injury and conserve his physical strength at the same time.

Qin Yang is not the kind of physique that James has, he has strong strength and stamina, and he is still alive after an overtime.

Playing a little more than 30 minutes per game is already a big load for Qin Yang, fortunately, there was an injury in the middle, a ban, and an All-Star Game, so Qin Yang missed a lot of games, just to relieve the fatigue of the game, otherwise, Qin Yang would have to choose to take turns to rest.

This kind of inside story, no one except Qin Yang and the Magic team training team knows.

Van Gundy's meaning was clear, taking the opponent in the third quarter.

Qin Yang also has this plan, the Pistons will have a few substitutes in the third quarter, and their strength is very weak, Qin Yang and Howard partner together, and they can directly blow up the opposite side.

The first ball, Howard covered and blocked and went straight down, Qin Yang did not politely put the ball directly to the basket, and Howard held the ball and dunked violently.

Turning around, Qin Yang interfered with the shooting, turned around and got the rebound that Howard dialed out.

The magic team attacked, Qin Yang shot directly, and Will Bynum, who was defending Qin Yang, looked confused and helpless, except that his strength was a little stronger than Qin Yang, and Will Bynum was backward in all directions.

This game can't be played.

The Pistons quickly called a timeout, and Prince and Ben Wallace, who had just been off the court for a short time, returned to the court.

The Pistons attacked, Hamilton hit the iron, Howard grabbed the rebound, Qin Yang dribbled the ball over half court and passed directly to Howard, Howard turned to the basket and was decisively fouled by Ben Wallace.

This is the third time Ben Wallace has fouled Howard like this in this game.

Howard made 1 of 2 free throws, which finally made Qin Yang breathe a sigh of relief.

After the free throw, Qin Yang directly grabbed Howard: "Take the ball and dunk directly, don't make any moves." ”

Howard nodded and quickly returned to his defense.

The Pistons attacked, and Starkey finally hit a mid-range jumper with the help of cover, but it didn't help. Looking back, Qin Yang singled out Prince.

After the crotch crossover, he jumps directly.

Prince was a beat slower to react.

"Huo, this Qin Yang really dares to vote!"

Sou!

"The ball really went in. This ball is really a god, Qin Yang faced Prince's defense, and shot it directly, this kind of decisiveness and domineering, ordinary superstars don't have it. ”

Teacher Wei Ping Bryant praised during the live broadcast.

Qin Yang's shot was very angry.

I'll dribble under my crotch to break through, you can't guard against it, Prince's speed itself is a little slower, and the explosiveness is not fast enough, if you don't follow up Qin Yang, you will be broken through by Qin Yang, so you can only follow Qin Yang's rhythm.

After all, Prince's height and reach are dominant, and he interferes with the shooting in place.

But Qin Yang did the opposite. Using his flexibility to forcibly shake out a little space to shoot, Prince was half a beat slower, and Qin Yang's three-point shot was shot.

And it hit.

The speed of the shot is fast, and the speed is so fast that people can't defend.

With this goal, Prince's mentality collapsed a bit.

In the next ball, Qin Yang continued to single Prince, after crossover, Qin Yang directly stepped back to pull the ball, Prince's center of gravity shifted to interfere with the shot, but Qin Yang pulled the ball directly and made a three-point jumper.

Prin knew that Qin Yang was going to do this, but he was a step slower.

The three-pointer hit again.

After this goal, Prince felt as if he had lost his soul.

Helpless.

Prince's spirit was immediately gone, and Qin Yang became more and more courageous, shooting outside and inside, and his passing was still very sharp, 5 of 7 in the single quarter, 3 of 3 three-pointers, and 16 points and 4 assists.

In the third quarter, the Magic led by 16 points.

After three quarters, the Magic led by 21 points. In the fourth quarter, Qin Yang didn't play, but the Magic team still won.

In the whole game, Qin Yang was 8 of 14 and 5 of 6 free throws, with 25 points and 7 assists, and Howard played 40 minutes and got 29 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 7 blocks.
