Chapter 122: You Chase Me
At the break in the second quarter, the Cavaliers still led by 14 points.
This margin is obvious in the playoffs, but it is not very secure.
James rested for 4 minutes and discussed the game with Coach Brown next to him, while Qin Yang drank a functional drink and rested quietly.
In this game, Qin Yang was more tired than ever.
When the hand is not good, Qin Yang must use his own breakthrough to stabilize the score, and the shots of other teammates are not stable, if it were not for Qin Yang's passing and scoring, the Cavaliers may have pulled the difference to within 10 points.
The third quarter of the game began quickly.
On the first ball, Turkoglu broke through with the help of a cover and passed back to Rashad Lewis.
Rashad Lewis received the pass and shot directly, ignoring Qin Yang's interference.
Catching the ball is actually one of the most difficult offensive methods to defend, because the defender has to consider whether this is a feint to break through, plus the reaction time, it is often a beat slower than the offensive player.
Theoretically, two players react the same way, and if the offensive player is fast enough, the defender will not be able to cover the offensive player.
Rashad Lewis was a little careless and shot directly.
Sou!
Basketball hits.
It's a playoff rate.
The Cavaliers attacked, Qin Yang broke through with the help of cover, attracted the defense and passed to Pavlovich, but a steady pass was directly photographed by Petrus in the middle.
Fast!
Decisive!
If this steal fails, then Pavlovich can easily shoot in the open space, and the Magic team is really hard enough to defend it.
After the steal, Petrus directly held the ball and fast-break, and then directly dunked to end the battle.
The Cavaliers attacked again, with only 9 points left, and this time the shot was more secure, Qin Yang pulled the ball to the right side and looked for a chance to break through.
Turkoglu defends very tightly, and would rather give Qin Yang a chance to shoot than let Qin Yang break through.
Qin Yang didn't feel good in this game, and he had already been discovered.
Mo Williams ran out of the empty space, Qin Yang passed the ball directly, Alston stepped forward to defend, Mo Williams made a feint, but did not shake it off, and then Mo Williams made a three-point shot.
Qin Yang looked embarrassed from the side.
Williams is very anxious to choose at the critical moment, this ball is a single Alston, what feints are needed, either shoot directly, or break through directly, Alston's defensive ability and physical fitness are not opponents at all, but Williams Mohams chose the most inappropriate action.
Breaking through to the basket, Mo Williams was worried.
Howard's deterrent power under the basket is too strong.
Boom!
The basketball hit the iron, Qin Yang rushed out directly, strong enough to rebound, and then directly provoked it from the middle distance.
Bang!
Strike iron again.
Qin Yang was also very embarrassed, Gortat got the rebound under the basket, Alston received the ball and attacked slowly. After half-time, Gortat received the ball and squeezed Vallejo directly away from the middle distance to score.
The difference is 7 points!
This is a very dangerous point difference.
The Cavaliers called a timeout, James replaced Pavlovich, Qin Yang partnered Delonte West, Vallejo and Big Z on the inside, and Ben Wallace went off.
This lineup, Qin Yang knows what's going on.
The game started again.
James directly attacked with the ball, Big Z covered in the high position, James hit the basket, Howard assisted in defense very well, but James attracted the defense and passed directly to Big Z, and Big Z easily shot.
James and Big Z's high blocking and dismantling are invincible.
The Cavaliers went on the offensive again.
The Magic's offense and defense are still fast-paced, and every time they have the opportunity to shoot, they shoot very decisively and resolutely, and in just two minutes, the Magic team hit all the shots.
If it weren't for James and Big Z's sharp high-post blocking, the Cavaliers' point gap would gradually narrow.
Qin Yang looked helpless, looking for an opportunity to shoot in the middle, 2 in 0, and only sent one attack, which was very embarrassing.
In this game, Qin Yang's hand was too bad.
With three minutes left in the third quarter, Qin Yang was substituted.
Mo Williams comes on.
The Cavaliers are the starting lineup, but the point difference was quickly made up, and Mo Williams shot one after another, 0 of 3, and the Cavaliers who directly pitted it did not want it.
James blackened his face and didn't say anything.
81-81, at the end of the third quarter, the two teams turned out to be tied.
Breaks.
Qin Yang took the initiative to take out a towel and drink to his teammates, and James took the towel and covered it directly on his face, revealing a tired look. In this quarter, when James needed support, the rest of his teammates didn't step up.
The three tigers on the outside didn't feel good in this game.
Delonte West, Mo Williams and Qin Yang, all kinds of iron, simply.
On the contrary, Vallejo and Da Z felt good, hit many times, and Qin Yang's assists were mostly given to the inside. In terms of data, Qin Yang has 6 assists, but the actual court performance, Qin Yang is a little poor.
The fourth quarter begins.
Qin Yang came on the court and directly called a block, Valejo blocked, Qin Yang was very slow to break through by Valejo, in the middle distance position, Qin Yang was directly facing the basket, Howard stepped forward to help defend, Qin Yang passed the ball to James, James broke through with the ball and dunked directly.
Rashad Lewis is defending Vallejo, and the task of assisting the defense can only be Howard's. At this time, Qin Yang's pass was easy to open up the situation.
This was the only way Qin Yang could think of it.
The Magic attacked, and Gortat finally hit the iron.
Gortat is a very good player, with a good rim protector and not as good as Howard, but he is also one of the best interior fifteen in the league.
In addition, Gortat has a good mid-range shot, and his strength is excellent.
But Gortat is similar to Vallejo in this way, his mid-range shooting is unstable, much worse than Big Z, and the result of this is that the annual salary is millions worse.
Big Z turns and gets the rebound.
The Cavaliers attack.
After dribbling past half the court, Qin Yang singled Turkoglu, and after the crotch changed hands and retreated, he pulled the ball and pretended to shoot a three-point shot, and Qin Yang worshiped the Buddha one by one.
Going to the basket, it was Gortat who came out to help defend it.
Howard didn't help defend this time to prevent Qin Yang from passing, Qin Yang saw Gortat, he was not polite, and went to the basket directly, and leaned on Gortat under the basket to shoot.
When Gortat's arm stretched out to block the cap, he touched it directly, and then adjusted his shot.
The basketball smashes into the frame and the whistle blows.
2+1!
Qin Yang hit a steady free throw.
In the blink of an eye, the Cavaliers' margin widened back to five points.
The Magic team attacked, and at the critical moment, Turkoglu broke through and passed to Petrus, and the French Jordan hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line to help the Magic team stabilize the point difference.
Three points at a critical moment.
