Chapter 180: The Low-key Core (2nd Update)

In the face of everyone's appreciation, Qin Yang was very low-key when he was interviewed, giving credit to his teammates.

"It wasn't a win for me alone, 30 assists, 30 hits from teammates, Brandon Bass, Ryan Anderson, Vince Carter, Redick and so on, and our brother Matt Barnes, they all contributed to those 30 assists, and for a point guard, good teammates are the most important thing, and obviously I have good teammates like that."

"Of course, I'm even more grateful to Dwight Howard, who helped me fit into the team from the moment I joined the Magic, supported me no matter what I did, and built the strongest interior team in the league on the defensive end, and I think that's where the Magic win, that's why I got that stat."

When he was appreciated, Qin Yang was not arrogant, but praised his teammates.

Most of the teams in the league have problems, and basically the team collapses first.

For the players, the first important thing is the salary, and the second important thing is how well the team is playing, and staying very happy.

If Qin Yang directly said proudly, yes, I am so awesome, I will naturally get the approval of some people, but for the other players of the Magic team, it is not good.

Matt Barnes defended all over the court, tired to death, but didn't contribute anything, and there must be something wrong with his heart.

Redick, Blantonbas, didn't drop the chain all over the court, defended hard, hit many times on the offensive end, contributed a lot of statistics, but could only be a supporting role.

Howard, as the core of the team, is green all over the court, can he be willing?

Maybe it doesn't matter for a while, but after a month or two, half a year, a year, the atmosphere of the Magic team will definitely be bad.

Qin Yang was very low-key when he was interviewed, and when the team trained the next day, the other teammates greeted Qin Yang and were all happy.

Even Matt Barnes, who usually doesn't smile, is much kinder.

The atmosphere within the Magic team is good.

Although there is a bit of competition for the team's playing time, it is generally manageable, and there are suitable players for each position. If anything, Gortat and Matt Barnes are the most embarrassing players.

Gortat was re-signed by the Magic at a high price, but the Magic's starting center was Howard, and Gortat got a big contract, but his playing time was very short, and he was not even as good as others, which was very embarrassing.

For example, playing time, playing 11 minutes, depressed.

The other is Matt Barnes, who has a bit of a special upbringing, is unsmiling, has tattoos all over his body, and looks like a villain.

But Barnes is a good guy and doesn't hesitate to step up for his teammates.

In this game, Barnes was fined $20,000, Qin Yang said that he would pay for Barnes, and finally the Magic team had paid on his behalf. Having a player like that is a good thing for the Magic.

During the training match, Qin Yang practiced with the team and gave Gortat more balls.

Gortat is actually better than Howard in terms of tactics, Gortat is good at blocking and dismantling and then going down, mid-range shooting is very standard, left and right can hook hands, and the shooting rate is good, but the low-post singles and defense are a little average.

Howard's toughest thing is his all-around defense, which Gortat fundamentally is.

After a half-day of adjusted workouts, the Magic boarded the plane left and headed to Oklahoma to play the Thunder.

The Thunder have been on the rise in recent seasons, and the team that has relied on drafts to build a team with high-quality rookies has enjoyed great success, and this season the Thunder have rookies that the rest of the league managers drool, such as Kevin Durant, Westbrook, James Harden and Jeff Green.

After arriving in Oklahoma, Qin Yang and his teammates on the Magic team accepted Kevin Durant's invitation to participate in the evening drinking party.

Kevin Durant and Qin Yang are trainers, and they train together in the summer, which can be regarded as a sympathy.

When Qin Yang arrived with his teammates, Kevin Durant opened the door and welcomed the Magic team with his teammates from the Thunder team.

"Kevin, you're getting strong again."

Qin Yang stepped forward to shake hands and clapped his hands, and said with a smile.

Kevin Durant has been in the league for two years and has more and more muscles, compared to Qin Yang, Durant is obviously slightly stronger, which Qin Yang admires very much.

"Haha, that's a concession, otherwise how could I be a superstar. Let me introduce you to the others. ”

Kevin Duranta pulled Qin Yang and introduced the other teammates.

In fact, there is no need to introduce it, Qin Yang and most of the league have lost in a row, Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, and Qin Yang have all said hello.

"This is James Harden, the third overall pick in this year's draft."

Kevin Durant solemnly introduced to Qin Yang, Qin Yang stepped forward to shake hands, James Harden, this person Qin Yang is very familiar with, well, in the virtual training space, James Harden is the object of Qin Yang's learning to make fouls.

"Now James Harden is not in his prime, and his porcelain touching skills should not be so powerful, otherwise...... The Thunder's lineup is also terrifying. ”

Qin Yang calculated in his heart.

It will start soon, Qin Yang chatted with other people, and talked about other players when he had nothing to do.

Kevin Durant, Westbrook and Qin Yang can talk better, because all three of them are rookies in recent years, have performed well, don't know much about many things in the league, and expect to play better.

Qin Yang chatted with the two of them for a while, and then pulled James Harden to chat for a while, and they became familiar.

The next day, the game began.

The Magic team's starters gradually stabilized, and when Rashad Lewis was injured, the starters were confirmed, and the interior Howard, Ryan Anderson, Matt Barnes, Redick, Qin Yang, and Vince Carter played as the core of the team's bench.

Thunder starters, Kostic, Jeff Green, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Sefrosa.

The game began, and Howard made no doubt that the jump ball was successful.

It was Sefrosa who defended Qin Yang, Ryan Anderson directly blocked and dismantled, Qin Yang shot a three-point shot directly, but unfortunately the first ball felt bad, popped out of the frame, and Howard pressed Kostic under the basket and pressed the basketball in.

Both Jeff Green and Kostic are too weak to be teammates at all.

The Thunder attacked, Russell Westbrook held the ball with a bowed head, and directly strode through, and Redick was crushed like a stake.

Qin Yang stood beside him speechless for a while.

Westbrook directly crushed the layup, and Howard helped defend in a timely manner, but Westbrook relied on Howard to make a layup, and the basketball bumped into the frame.

The Magic team attacked, Qin Yang slowly dribbled to the right side, directly brought Sefrosa's defense to the right side, and then threw the ball directly to the basket, and Howard jumped up for a dunk in the air.

The Thunder are helpless on the inside.

Without a good inside line, Howard shouldn't play too easily.
