Chapter Ninety-Eight: Offensive and Defensive Omnipotence
James spoke, and the atmosphere of the team immediately became solemn.
On the same day, after the team disbanded, it was very rare for the likes of Williams and Dronte West not to go to nightclubs to have fun or go out to mess around.
Everyone went home quietly.
So much so that the next day, not long after Qin Yang trained, he saw other players returning to the training ground one after another.
"Hey, why are you here so early today?"
Qin Yang greeted Mo Williams with a smile, Mo Williams shrugged his shoulders and said "Anyway, it's nothing, come and train for a while, after all, it's the playoffs." ”
Although Mo Williams wanted to train, he lacked interest.
Shooting, one-on-one, three-man games are not in good shape, and it is clear that after James asked everyone on the team to work normally, the players are not normal.
This is not a good sign!
But James didn't say anything and still did the training, with a serious face.
"Wally, that's not good!" Qin Yang cautiously told Szzerbiak his concerns, and it is sometimes not a good thing for players to change their normal schedules.
If you are usually more restrained, there is no problem at this time, but suddenly this way will give the players a lot of psychological pressure.
This affects the state very much.
"It's okay, believe me, this is the best choice, if the media is exposed at this time to go to a nightclub after the game, do you think it will be a good thing?"
Szzebiak had been in the league for a long time, and he was used to it.
Qin Yang thought about it, and it was right.
It is impossible to win all the playoffs, and it is even difficult to win the championship, in this case, if you are exposed to go to a nightclub, you will be the backstabber, which will cause a lot of trouble.
So, the best thing to do is to keep a low profile during this sensitive time.
"It's better to take care of yourself, don't worry about it so much." Qin Yang silently made a choice in his heart, "The playoffs are much more difficult than the regular season, and they can't be judged by the regular season." ”
Qin Yang trained silently and didn't pay much attention to it.
This is James's team, and it is not appropriate for Qin Yang to manage it.
After two days of rest, the Cavaliers prepared for the game in a low-key manner, while Qin Yang played games with the Pistons in the virtual training ground every night, and the six playoff-level confrontations made Qin Yang grow a lot.
On the 21st, after a gap of two days, the second race began.
In Game 2, there were no changes to the Cavaliers' starting lineup.
Since the end of the season, Vallejo has gradually replaced Ben Wallace as the team's starter, Ben Wallace can't shoot, has poor defensive ability, and is not suitable for James, especially when Ben Wallace was injured for a month, and the main position was gradually replaced by Vallejo.
To be honest, the Cavaliers' current salary is quite unreliable.
The highest-paid player on the Cavaliers this season is Ben Wallace, yes, Ben Wallace, who averaged 3 points and 6 rebounds per game this season, has a salary of $14.5 million, yes, this salary is close to the popular salary of an All-Star, and Ben Wallace takes such a salary.
The Cavaliers manager has really worked hard in order to find a helper for James in the past few seasons.
But this also proved wrong.
James' salary is the second-highest this season at $14 million, and the third-place is Szczebiak's $13.78 million, and yes, Szczebiak, who has not played much off the bench this season, is the third-highest-paid player on the Cavaliers.
After this, there is the big Z with a salary of tens of millions.
Mo Williams' salary of $8 million is already relatively cheap, and Dronte West's salary of $6 million is relatively affordable.
Of course, the most affordable is Qin Yang, whose salary is only $500,000.
This salary is at the bottom of the league.
This contract was also voted the best value contract of the season at the end of the regular season. There are other players who have played well and their salaries are very low, but compared with Qin Yang, it is really nothing.
The Cavaliers players' on-court performance and salaries were completely inappropriate, becoming the most embarrassing thing.
Once the contract is agreed, there is no room for negotiation, otherwise the team's mind will be more complicated.
At the beginning of the game, the big Z jump ball was successful, and on the first ball, Mo Williams received a pass from Vallejo and hit it from mid-range after James drew the defense.
After the first goal was scored, the two sides began to fight iron.
Rasheed Wallace's mid-range shot was put in place by the big Z defense and hit the iron.
Mo Williams strikes iron.
Hamilton strikes iron.
Vallejo misses.
James was strong enough to rebound
……
Nine minutes into the game, the Cavaliers led just 16-12.
The Cavaliers played a simple nine minutes, and if it weren't for Rashid Wallace's poor form, shooting 1-of-4, the Cavaliers would definitely be behind at home.
The game was suspended, and the Cavaliers made the first substitution.
Qin Yang came on, Vallejo went off, the Cavaliers changed formations, and James moved to the inside position, responsible for defense and rebounding.
In nine minutes, Vallejo fought hard and got two fouls, and in this way, in less than three quarters, Vallejo left the court with six fouls.
The Cavaliers attack.
Qin Yang didn't hold the ball this time, Mo Williams held the ball over half the court, Qin Yang ran on the right side to attract defense, Starkey couldn't defend Qin Yang this time, and Hamilton followed tightly.
But this time, Qin Yang ran directly to Dronte West, and then got rid of the defense with the help of Delonte and the opposing player.
Down the baseline, James passed, and Qin Yang received the pass under the basket.
McDyce and Hamilton pounced directly from both sides, and this position was far from the bottom of the basket, and it was only necessary to raise their hands to reach the basket.
With Qin Yang's height, he scored with a direct backhand dunk.
The two were very anxious, and pounced directly, Qin Yang made a gesture to dunk, one of the two of them was on top, and one was provoked.
But the next moment, the basketball in Qin Yang's hand disappeared, and James received an assist and scored directly with a violent dunk.
Under the basket, Qin Yang directly hit the ground and passed the ball to James when he encountered the defense of the two, and James directly received the pass and dunked when he rushed to grab the rebound.
Bang!
The Quick Loan Center remembered the cheers.
This dunk is so exciting.
Qin Yang played two defensive players by himself.
The Pistons attacked.
Qin Yang defended Hamilton, the bottom line position, Hamilton made a reverse run again, Starkey passed, Qin Yang pretended to be shaken away, and flew to steal at the next moment of Starkey's pass.
Such a tactical pass may seem simple, but it is easy to get a steal if you are not careful.
Starki didn't look at Qin Yang's running, the ball passed a little slowly, and it was stealed by Qin Yang.
After the steal, Qin Yang directly accelerated to break through.
Qin Yang's explosiveness is not strong, but after the speed is up, it is also fast, and most of the players on the Pistons team can't keep up at all.
Hamilton beside him kept interfering with Qin Yang's layup from the side, and when he got to the basket, Hamilton flew forward and raised it high.
If Qin Yang lays normally, this is a block.
The playoffs are a real fight.
