Chapter 123: Instant Advantage

The game was intense.

Unlike the Pistons' game, the first game between the Cavaliers and the Magic was very pressing, but the action was not large, and there were few intentional fouls.

After two quarters, each team only made about 6 free throws, and the overall game was very fluid.

This has to do with the scale of the referee and the tactical characteristics of both sides.

In other words, both sides feel that such a scale of play is beneficial to them, and as a projection-based team, such a rhythm of the game is acceptable to both sides.

As long as a wave of hands feels up and the shots are endless, you can open the score.

The Cavaliers attacked, with only a two-point lead, which was very unsecure.

At the critical moment, James attacked the basket and passed to Dronte West, who was almost empty on the outside, and Dronte West hit a three-point shot.

Gortat got the rebound.

Qin Yang glanced at James and Dronte West, and had nothing to say.

In this game, West's hand felt very bad, in this case, why do you have to pass the ball to West, if it is Qin Yang, he will reduce the pass to West, and he will shoot patiently.

The Magic attack.

At the critical moment, you have to look at Rashad Lewis, Rashad Lewis leaned on Valejo in the middle distance, turned steadily and hit, and was not polite at all.

In this game, Rashad Lewis felt very good, and he felt like he was going to score as soon as he shot.

If Qin Yang is the Magic's point guard, he will give Rashad Lewis more shots.

The Cavaliers attack.

The score is equalized.

It's a crucial shot, and if it matters most, it's bad if the Cavaliers can't hold on to the lead.

James attacked with the ball, Big Z covered in the high position, and at the critical moment, James passed to Big Z, Big Z hit the iron under Gortat's defense, and Howard got the rebound.

The goal didn't go in, but tactically speaking, there was nothing wrong with it.

Big Z has an advantage in the position, and the shooting percentage is very high, but the ball is passed a little slowly, Gortat's defense is already in place, and Big Z does not have a good chance to shoot.

The Magic attack.

The Cavaliers lost the initiative.

Koteglu still broke through with a pick-and-roll, and this time Tekoglu went straight to the basket for a layup, and Vallejo did his best to prevent the foul.

Tekoglu made 2 of 2 free throws.

The Magic lead by 2 points.

The Cavaliers attack.

There was still plenty of time, Qin Yang was not prepared for the final desperate fight, and after halftime, Qin Yang passed the ball directly to James, and then ran by himself.

James attacked with the ball and passed to Qin Yang who was running under the basket.

Qin Yang took the ball and leaned on Tekoglu, who was defending closely, and then directly accelerated and made a quick stop.

Sou!

Qin Yang, who had pitted his teammates for two quarters, hit this mid-range shot.

The feel is back.

Qin Yang waved his hand, and a trace of heat flashed in his heart.

The Magic attack.

At this time, the pressure returned to the Magic's side, and Alston made a shot after breaking through Mo Williams, and Alstom's shooting selection was problematic.

At this time, going straight to the basket to score is the best option.

But Alstom shot directly.

Fortunately, Howard picked up the basket directly and pulled the basketball in.

The Cavaliers attacked, and James took advantage of the big Z cover and hit it directly.

The two sides were tied again.

The Magic team attacked, and the key moment was still Rashad Lewis, who caught the ball and hit it steadily.

The Cavaliers attacked, and this time Mo Williams was still playing iron, and the big Z was strong enough to rebound and then shot, and met Gortat's defense and hit the iron again.

Rashad Lewis got the rebound, and the Magic attacked.

Fortunately, this time Petrus hit the iron, and after Tekoglu got the rebound, Qin Yang directly provoked the defense and fouled. Tekoglu made 2-of-2 free throws.

The Magic lead by four points.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Qin Yang did not play as steadily as before this time, but directly made a sudden stop.

Turkoglu was caught off guard.

After breaking through, Qin Yang did not worry, but moved to the right side, came to the three-point line and shot a three-point shot directly.

Tekoglu was blinded by the beating.

First of all, Turkoglu didn't follow the good guys, and then when he quickly retreated to defend, he met Qin Yang and went directly to the three-point line to shoot, and at this time Turkoglu was two steps away from Qin Yang.

The distance is too great.

Sou!

Qin Yang hit a three-point shot.

The Cavaliers trailed by 1 point.

The Magic team attacked, Alston broke through directly with the ball, Alston's defense was very average, and the shooting was unstable, but the breakthrough was really sharp.

Not too fast, not too strong Alston broke through at a very good pace, the combination of man and ball was very good, a crossover speed was not fast, but easily broke through Mo Williams.

It's quite embarrassing.

After Alston broke through, he did not rush to attack directly, but passed the ball after attracting the defense.

This is a professional game, not street basketball, and if Alstom chooses to enter the NBA to make money, he must follow many of the rules of the NBA.

Alston holds the ball and plays a tactical pass to Rashad Lewis.

Qin Yang had already prepared at this time, and directly rushed out and stole the basketball.

The Cavaliers attacked, Qin Yang dribbled directly and quickly, and the Magic team generally did not react.

In the half-court position, Alston pestered Qin Yang and did not give Qin Yang a chance to break through easily, and the strategy of the Magic team was very simple, so that the Cavaliers could not play fast break.

In fact, at this time, the Cavaliers' teammates were not fast and did not keep up.

According to common sense, Qin Yang should wait for his teammates to settle down and play slowly.

But in the face of Alston's defense, Qin Yang directly provoked and shot one step away from the three-point line, Alston jumped up, but he was helpless at all.

Sou!

Three-pointers scored.

Qin Yang clenched his fists and roared angrily.

The Cavaliers lead by 2 points.

“three point!”

"Bruce Qin—"

In the stadium of the Quick Loan Center, the live DJ set the mood and cheered for the goal of their players.

The score between the two sides was originally deadlocked for seven or eight minutes, but it was opened in just a dozen seconds, and Qin Yang used two three-pointers to announce his arrival.

The three-point shot is the easiest weapon to catch up with the score and make up for the difference in points at critical moments.

The Magic attacked, and Rashad Lewis hit another mid-range shot.

In this quarter of the game, Rashad Lewis shot 100 percent and was already 4 of 4.

This one, if the Magic team hits the iron again, then the game will be a different situation, and the score behind the Magic team will expand to a very dangerous point, and the emotions will be contagious.

This is great news for the Cavaliers.

Unfortunately, at the critical moment, Rashad Lewis hit again.

When a goal is scored, the impact is not great, but if it is at a critical moment, this goal determines the momentum and win or loss of both sides.

After this goal was scored, the Magic team stabilized and did not panic.

The Cavaliers attacked, Williams finally hit a ball, the Magic attacked, Howard was strong enough to rebound, this time without waiting for the Cavaliers to foul, Turkoglu dribbled to organize the offense.

Turkoglu passes to Kunit Lee, Kunit Lee passes to Alstom, and Alston passes to Turkoglu for layup.

Vallejo assists in a foul and Turkoglu makes a free throw.

Turkoglou's free-throw shooting percentage is close to 90 percent, and the Magic are playing a solid game.

It's very stable, and it's hard to pull apart.

Looking back, Qin Yang directly singled Kunit Lee with the help of blocking and dismantling, and made a steady three-point shot, and the height difference of 20cm gave Qin Yang a good chance to shoot.

The three-pointer hit again.

The scores between the two sides are still alternating between the two sides, and the difference between the points is hovering around 3 points.

End of third quarter.
