Chapter 447: Losing streak

Defeated again!

Qin Yang felt a little tired.

After losing to the Rockets and Mavericks in a row, Qin Yang felt some pressure.

When you win, a lot of problems can be covered up, but when you lose, the team's problems are exposed.

The cooperation time is too short, and the tactics are not tacit at all.

Mistakes are high, and many times, it is up to the individual ability of the players to save the situation.

If it's a little more complicated, it's hard for the team to play.

After losing to the Mavericks, the team looked ready for the next game one day, and Coach Van Gundy returned to Sacramento to continue the tactical drill the next day.

The team wailed.

Qin Yang frowned, and only after Coach Van Gundy finished speaking, Qin Yang found Coach Van Gundy.

"Coach, this season is a bit rushed, I think the regular season is still practice-oriented, don't care too much about the regular season results."

Coach Van Gundy was stunned for a moment, then asked:

"Don't you want to win the regular season MVP?"

Qin Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Coach, it's not that I don't want to, it's too hard to win the regular season MVP this season, James has made efforts this season, Kevin Durant is also ready to go, the Kings have just been formed this season, and it's too difficult to win the regular season MVP." ”

Qin Yang is very smart and naturally knows how to make trade-offs.

Last season, Qin Yang and Rose competed for the regular season MVP, which was a special situation.

The Big Three of the Heat are grouped, and the league will definitely not support it, and Durant's record is not so good, and it can't be done. Only the Kings and Bulls have a much better record than last season, and their stats and on-court performances are so good that they can compete for MVP.

This season, Qin Yang has little chance.

Unless you fight to the end in every game and get the horror data, in this case, there is still a chance. But does it make any sense?

No, it's too brain-dead.

Qin Yang doesn't think anyone will use the method of brushing out the historical average data to win the regular season MVP.

In that case, he must be sick.

Qin Yang was silent, and Coach Van Gundy naturally adjusted his strategy.

In fact, the team played so nervously in front of him, largely because of the tactics and strategy of coach Van Gundy.

Qin Yang was the MVP last season, and this season Coach Van Gundy naturally wants to support Qin Yang, and the team's record is a necessary requirement.

Now this problem is solved.

Coach Van Gundy has no problem.

The team did not practice together the next day, but rested.

On January 16, the team flew to Minnesota to play the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Before the start of the game, Coach Van Gundy began to explain the tactics that players usually make mistakes in the locker room, setting the tone:

"In this game, the Timberwolves are weak, and I don't care if the team can win or not, but the team's tactics have to be played. Covering runs, cutting passes in the air, the high post must be key, and the outside three-pointer is always ready. ”

The purpose of this game is very clear, even tactics and everything else is secondary.

At the beginning of the game, the Kings played very easily.

The coach said that he didn't care about the outcome of the game, and the players naturally wouldn't be under pressure.

But if you play it easily, the effect is not necessarily bad.

In the first quarter, the Kings made 5 of 8 from the outside and directly opened the score.

When the team is ahead, the players play more easily.

Coach Van Gundy used any opportunity to infuse the team with defensive and offensive tactics, and the Kings offense quickly opened up.

This game was the easiest game played by the Kings.

Every player played well on the offensive end. ,

Maybe the team's defense was still problematic, and it was sprayed again and again by coach Van Gundy, but after that, the pair won easily.

Kevin Love was 11-of-21 from the field and finished with 33 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.

Qin Yang was 7-of-16 from the field and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line, scoring 24 points, 12 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.

This season, Qin Yang is the focus of the opponent's defense no matter what position he is in, and he is also doing everything in the back end.

Small moves are constant, and the defensive intensity is high.

This feeling made Qin Yang very uncomfortable.

Qin Yang is also gradually adapting to this.

This is the case with the league's top superstars, and James encounters this kind of defense every game, so James can't stand to huddle.

Seven Kings scored in double figures to win the game.

After a day of rest, the Kings returned to their home court to take on the challenge of the Pacers.

The Pacers are weak.

This season, it is destined to be nothing.

Qin Yang is against Darren Collison, he feels very confident, and he finally meets a weak chicken, and this game will be very good.

But in the game, it was Paul George who defended Qin Yang.

Paul George played well last season in a limited amount of time, and this season he has been more and more superstarious.

In terms of player characteristics, Paul George is very versatile.

Offense, defense, passing, rebounding can do anything.

Such a striker is too rare.

Qin Yang prefers such teammates, but this time, Paul George is the opponent and mainly defends against Qin Yang. Height, speed, strength, not too much of an advantage at all, Qin Yang once again encountered this kind of BUG-level player.

In addition to using rhythm to break through and use speed to score, Qin Yang was very depressed when he met Paul George.

Even in the fifth minute of the first quarter, Coach Van Gundy called a timeout and pulled Qin Yang to slap him: "Pass, Bruce pay attention to passing, you have excellent teammates, don't go to the best defender on the opposite side by yourself, this is the stupidest choice." ”

Qin Yang was 1 of 4, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 5 points, and it stands to reason that the efficiency is not particularly bad.

But Coach Van Gundy was straight hairy.

Qin Yang didn't dare to say anything, so he could only acquiesce. The boss of the team made a few more shots, and Coach Van Gundy came like this, and if he was replaced by someone else, he must have been resentful.

It can only be said that Coach Van Gundy is an upright boy.

On the court again, Qin Yang focused on passing, and at this time, Qin Yang also discovered a shortcoming of Paul George.

Not good at defending with people.

Qin Yang found an opportunity, an easy vacancy, hit both times, and the Pacer called a timeout.

There is an absolute difference in strength, and it is useless to do anything.

The best player in this game was Cousins, who missed a few shots, and the efficiency value of 3 of 8 was not wanted as an inside pit.

But with 19 rebounds in 33 minutes, including 12 offensive rebounds, it was blinding.

The game had the feeling of a Kings offensive rebound.

Offensive rebounding again.

, it's Cousins' rebounding again.

Every time there are offensive opportunities, the Pacers are a little crazy.

Originally, the overall strength of the Kings team was stronger, and their shooting was better, and now they have more advantages in rebounding, so there is really no way to do this game.

Three sections, enter garbage time.

Qin Yang easily got 19 points and 9 assists and clocked out of work.

After the game, his teammates cheered Cousins on.

Cousins did a really good job of rebounding and protecting the basket.

After winning this game, the Kings finally recovered from injury and the team was very full. However, the next game schedule is still very bad.
