Chapter 131: An Idea
On the bench, the atmosphere of the Cavaliers was very solemn.
After the score difference in the first quarter was not large, it was reversed in the second quarter, and the situation of the Cavaliers was very unfavorable, and what was even more unfavorable was that the Cavaliers had no way to reverse the score.
Qin Yang's hand was a little poor in this game, and he couldn't shoot wildly, and after attracting defensive pressure, he gave his teammates a chance, which was already the best play.
"Next, LeBron, you attack. Big Z high cover, other people's defense and preparation for running shots. The score could not be separated again in the third quarter. ”
Coach Brown made the setup.
Qin Yang was silent beside him, such an arrangement was actually useless, because James and Big Z's high blocking and dismantling was originally a regular tactic of the Cavaliers, and when it was in a stalemate, Coach Brown obviously had no other way to do it.
Qin Yang really wanted to increase the passing and cutting cooperation and cover of the outside line, but after thinking about it, he held back.
The Cavaliers' offensive ability on the outside is average, and it is difficult for Delonte West and Mo Williams to stand up in the face of super defensive pressure, and Qin Yang has a bad hand in this game, so it is not right to choose.
The third quarter begins.
The Magic team attacked, the Magic team passed and cut many times, and finally Petrus shot the iron, and Howard on the inside jumped high and directly dialed the ball in, Ben Wallace was helpless at all. can only fight with Howard.
Ben Wallace has dropped a lot this season, and although he has performed well in the playoffs, he is no longer the main force of the team. Compared to Howard, Ben Wallace is at an all-round disadvantage.
The Cavaliers' interior often has two people wrapping Howard and not giving Howard a chance to play alone.
Well, a lot of people say that Howard is weak in singles.
It's relative, Howard, with his strength and speed, will make most defenders feel desperate, if Howard's offensive skills reach the level of a few interior players, then another O'Neal will appear, no, a super interior player who is a little more powerful than O'Neal will appear.
The Cavaliers attack.
Qin Yang gave the ball to James in the middle of the court.
James and Big Z block and pick and roll in the high post, after blocking and picking, James holds the ball and attacks the basket, Gortat defends Big Z, and Howard defends James.
Howard is a strong deterrent, fast, and has good defensive options.
But James is still James, still stubbornly leaning on Howard's shot, the basketball bumping a few times on the basket, and finally hit.
When Qin Yang saw this goal, he admired James and was a little speechless.
It was too difficult for the Cavaliers to score.
The Magic team attacked, Kunit Lee hit a mid-range shot, Qin Yang glanced at Mo Williams on the court, and really wanted to go up and scold.
This time after the Magic covered, Mo Williams made a mistake in defensive selection, giving Kunit Lee a near-open shot.
Outside blocking and dismantling cover, air cutting, and projection, if such tactics are well coordinated, it is easy to score, but the Magic team's cooperation is actually very average, and the strength is not strong enough.
But he couldn't stand Mo Williams' defensive options.
If Qin Yang is really chosen, Mo Williams is the most suitable as the best sixth man, and it is indeed a bit of a pit to start for too long.
Even if the defense itself is average, the state is often not guaranteed.
The Cavaliers' offense is still the old-fashioned high-post blocking, James passes the ball after encountering defensive pressure, Qin Yang on the outside attracts the defense, and passes to Dronte West, West hits the iron, and the rebound is taken by Gortat.
Offensive rebounds are too hard to grab.
For teams that value defense, grabbing offensive rebounds is likely to result in an opponent's fast-break score, which is not worth it. In contrast, it would be more appropriate if you made a quick return visit and did not give the other side a chance.
The Magic attacked, and Turkoglu struck.
James is strong enough to rebound, but unfortunately, this time when James is attacking with the ball, he is still playing iron.
The two sides struck iron one after another, and the battle was fierce.
Qin Yang also tried to shoot, 0 of 1 three-pointers, two layups, one score, and one was a big hat by Howard. Howard has a good relationship with Qin Yang in private, but he will not be polite at all on the court, when Qin Yang lays up, he has already brought a stagnation and hook hand, but he was still capped by Howard.
It's so depressing.
Even more frustrating was the Cavaliers, who shot average from the field in this quarter, but still had a slow lead.
By the end of the third quarter, the Magic had a six-point lead.
When he came off the court, James felt very uncomfortable.
In this quarter of the game, James made 3 of 6 and got 9 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds, and his performance was definitely not bad, especially in such a rhythm of the game, this kind of data is already very amazing.
Mo Williams was 1 of 4 in a single quarter, and the pit was not good, and Dronte West was 2 of 5, and his performance was also average, and the Cavaliers played a little abnormally in this quarter.
On the other hand, the Magic team, although Turkoglu was embarrassed to be 0 in 4, but fortunately, Rashad Lewis and Kunit Lee performed very well, Kunit Lee was 4 in 4 and felt explosive, and Rashad Lewis was 2 in 3 and played very well.
During the break, James drank the energy drink, his face was deep and tired.
In these two quarters, James mainly attacked, and the effect was relatively average.
James' statistics are still very good, but under the defense of the Magic team, it seems a little difficult to stand alone, and when Qin Yang feels very poor, no one in the Cavaliers can stand up.
Mo Williams and Delonte West didn't play well when they were tough defensive.
"Bruce, the team needs your help in the fourth quarter."
James sat next to Qin Yang and patted Qin Yang's shoulder.
Qin Yang nodded, a little depressed, and hesitated to start: "LeBron, I think the two of us can attack as much as we want." ”
"Huh?"
James was stunned, his eyes lit up.
After Qin Yang entered the team, he actually had some conflicts with James in terms of tactics, because James is the core of the team, and according to James's tactical requirements, what is needed is a point guard who can shoot three points and defend, as for passing and court control, it is not important.
This is also the reason why Qin Yang has been a substitute this season and has very little playing time.
Now that the team is in a predicament, Qin Yang said so.
Two people block and cut together?
Qin Yang's words opened up a train of thought, James is a person with a high ball quotient, and he didn't think of playing with Qin Yang before, but now that he says this, James has some ideas.
When Qin Yang briefly served as the starter, Qin Yang broke through and smashed the basket and passed the ball to James.
"You can give it a try!"
James didn't hesitate and made a decision directly.
In James, there is a lot of freedom, and this kind of tactical cooperation, if it is rashly used by others, it will definitely be scolded by the coach, but if it is James, there is no problem.
