Qin Yang:

"It's a normal playoff game, nothing special, the Spurs are a traditional powerhouse, but I have to say with the departure of Tony Parker and the aging of Tim Duncan and Ginobili, the Spurs should consider rebuilding, and this series will prove that."

Qin Yang's attitude was a little arrogant.

It's arrogance.

What the Spurs are best at is a slow pace, grinding and chirping to grind teammates to death, and playing with this kind of team, no matter how low-key it is, it is not a thing.

And this season may be the only season that Qin Yang can be arrogant in the next few years.

Don't be arrogant, there's no chance.

That's why Qin Yang is so arrogant.

Qin Yang's words made Duncan and Ginobili speechless, the three of them were very familiar, very familiar, more familiar than chicken wings, but it was precisely because of familiarity that the two of them didn't know what to say.

What Qin Yang said was the truth.

Even Popovich dodged the incident and remained silent.

Only Leonard was confident when he was interviewed:

"Bruce is the best superstar in the league, but I'm going to play all over the court to show him that San Antonio isn't an easy place to win."

Of course, after saying this, he was slapped in the face.

As soon as the game began, Qin Yang took advantage of Nurkic's cover to shoot three points directly and hit it steadily.

Nurkic's blocking and dismantling cover is very thick, and he is also good at doing this kind of work, and later this season, the combination of Nurkic and Qin Yang is very good.

On the first ball, Ginobili defended a little slower.

The Spurs attacked, after Duncan covered, Ginobili made a layup and was directly capped out by Gobert, Ginobili's European department was coquettish and had broken through to the basket, but Gobert was fast, had good awareness, and had a terrifying arm span, so he turned around and gave the hat down.

Qin Yang received the pass, and turned around to block and dismantle.

This time, Duncan and Leonard were wrapped in front of one side and one side, Qin Yang hit the ground directly, passed the ball between Duncan's legs, and Nurkic received the ball and scored with an easy dunk.

Wear the block!

It was a playful pass.

If it was younger, Duncan would have been angry, would have tried to defend, and would even hit back with his trademark 45-degree shot, but now after halftime, it is still a slow positional attack.

Leonard hit a mid-range back-to-back single and turned around for a jumper.

It's still a very inexplicable shot.

Leonard jumped a meter away with the last step, a distance that, combined with the step back, was impossible to defend. The whole action is also very chic.

Sou!

The ball goes in.

But the Mavericks didn't care at all.

Leonard's shot is brilliant, difficult to defend and beautiful...... But it didn't work. Shots are as easy as possible, because about easy to hit.

A shot like this, with a very low hit rate, is not applicable.

With this kind of kung fu, it is better to practice more three-point shooting.

The Mavericks began to attack wildly from the beginning, Qin Yang, as the core, played very well, Dante Green couldn't stop it, Leonard was covered and dodged, and Qin Yang's passing was excellent.

Rudy Gay on the perimeter can be used as a second point of attack.

Nurkic is also above level on the inside, and James Ennis on the outside is a great 3-and-D player.

In the first quarter of the starter, the Mavericks led by nine points.

There is no suspense.

At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs team was weak when they came off the court, obviously they worked hard, and they played tactics, but they just fell behind.

This is where the Spurs are most helpless.

The Mavericks have no obvious weaknesses, one fast and one slow inside, and the defense is excellent.

The three people on the outside are good both offensively and defensively.

There are no shortcomings in offense, and there are no shortcomings in defense.

This game can't be played.

Duncan and Ginobili were silent, and Leonard encouraged his teammates, but no one answered.

In the second quarter, Qin Yang continued to play.

Beat the water dogs, and then talk about the advantages first.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks changed their lineup, with Seth Curry coming on to replace Nurkic.

That's right, so it's Gobert a big and four small.

Fortunately, Rudy Guy can also play as a power forward, Qin Yang's height is enough to make up for the shortcomings, this lineup has a strong offense, fast speed, and very accurate projection.

In the 8th minute of the second quarter, the difference was 21 points.

The Spurs called a timeout, and Qin Yang was replaced.

……

At halftime, the difference was 18 points.

But it doesn't matter, because the Spurs' spirit has been knocked down.

Even the commentary feels boring:

"It's not a normal game, San Antonio is playing very poorly on their home turf, they don't seem to be able to play anymore, the wonderful tactical coordination, the relentless attack and defense are completely gone."

"Yes, it's not the San Antonio Spurs we're familiar with. Coach Popovich also made too many adjustments, just changed the lineup. ”

I can't understand the explanation.

The Spurs seem to be weak, and it feels like the Spurs are better than they are in the regular season this season.

In the third quarter, Qin Yang did not play, and until the beginning of the fourth quarter, Qin Yang played for five minutes and then went off again.

In the whole game, Qin Yang played 24 minutes and got 21 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, leading the team to victory.

The Spurs were almost swept and were no match at all.

Post-match interview.

Duncan, Ginobili was silent and didn't say anything. Now the two don't want to talk anymore.

Coach Popovich himself stopped all the blame: "The Mavericks are much better than we thought, and Bruce Qin was unstoppable at the peak of his career. We were careless and didn't prepare for the game, so we were targeted for the game and kept falling behind, and I was mainly responsible. ”

Leonard expressed his displeasure with the team in an interview:

"We should play more aggressively, more aggressively, not get by, this is not the Spurs I remember!"

Even more depressed was LaMarcus Aldridge.

Ade got 24 points and 12 rebounds in this game, which was very beautiful, but he became a backstabber after his death.

TNT News:

"In the first game of the playoffs, the game between the Mavericks and the Spurs was not as intense as expected, the Mavericks were leading the whole game, Aldridge has not integrated into the Spurs, except for the turnaround jumper, Aldridge can't do much more, he should try to integrate with the Spurs."

Both the media and experts criticized LaMarcus Aldridge.

This made LaMarcus feel resentful.

After the game, LaMarcus called Qin Yang to complain, which made Qin Yang speechless.

"Man, we're rivals now, we'll meet soon, you even call me this question!" Qin Yang felt that this world was really strange.

But Qin Yang was not worried about the Spurs, and still put forward his own suggestions.

"Ade, after you entered San Antonio, you should know how inconsistent your positioning is with the Spurs, Popovich wants to turn you into the next Duncan, work defense, strategy, but obviously your characteristics are very different, so I suggest you have a good chat with Coach Popovich."
