Chapter 402: Disagree
Although he won, Qin Yang felt extremely tired.
Back-to-back away games, back-to-back big games, every game has to be hard. The team locker room has to be taken care of off the field, and such a team boss is not a pleasure, but a kind of torture.
Although he has not been the boss of the team, Qin Yang can be sure that other teams are definitely not so cheating.
After this game, the Kings immediately set off and flew to Memphis to play the Memphis Grizzlies.
It was the last away game in just over a week.
After arriving in Memphis, the whole team returned to the hotel to rest.
No one trains, no one goes to nightclubs or anything.
Back-to-back in a row, everyone is tired of dogs.
After resuming training the next morning, Coach Paul Westphal made a pre-game targeted arrangement as usual:
"The opponent in this game is the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies lineup is as follows......"
Coach Paul's setup can be said to be very ...... Nonsense.
The good thing is that Coach Paul knows that the Grizzlies move slowly on the inside, and it is estimated that the rest of the team will hit the inside more and pay attention to the passing on the outside.
When Qin Yang heard Coach Paul's arrangement, he didn't fight in his heart.
"This coach is so much worse than Coach Brown and Coach Van Gundy. Whether it is in attack or defense, it is no longer a level. ”
The only coaches Qin Yang has been in contact with a lot are Coach McBrown and Coach Van Gundy.
Coach McBrown is often complained about, saying that there is only one tactic he can play, which is to give the ball to James.
Qin Yang scoffed at this statement.
McBrown does have little layout on the offensive end, which is of course because McBrown is not so good at the offensive end, but the most critical factor is that the team's boss is superstar James, and there are no other superstars inside.
So, the offensive end can only be handed to James.
Other tactics are useless.
The most suitable is the best, after all, Coach Phil Jackson only knows triangular tactics.
And on the defensive end, Coach McBrown is definitely the first line among the league's coaches, much better than Coach Paul.
As for Coach Van Gundy, Qin Yang admires it very much.
Whether it is work enthusiasm, work attitude, or coaching at both offensive and defensive ends, they are very conscientious.
Before each game, Coach Van Gundy sends everyone a copy of the game notes.
Who is in the right position, what points to pay attention to, so that the players are mentally prepared.
Last season, Qin Yang gained a lot under Coach Van Gundy. There is no need to worry about the situation of the opponent, and there is no need to worry about the problems on both the offensive and defensive ends, Coach Van Gundy will be well prepared before the game.
And Coach Van Gundy is a very passionate coach who drives emotions and encourages players.
It's like the Kings, when the game is deadlocked, Qin Yang stood up and formulated tactics and encouraged his teammates, this your sister Qin Yang has become the nanny of the Kings.
In this game, Paul Westphal's preparation was far less detailed than Van Gundy's.
The Grizzlies have been super strong this season.
Although the record so far is not particularly good in the West, it has the same high probability as the Kings to advance to the playoffs.
So, the two teams are rivals.
This is different from the previous opponents.
The game officially began, and the Kings team really encountered the same trouble as Qin Yang imagined, and both offensive and defensive ends were obviously suppressed.
Cousins met Marc Gasol and was suppressed, unable to defend at all, unable to attack.
Marc Gasol, who has been trained in Europe, is stronger than he thinks.
On the power forward, Darko met Zach really big name Randolph and his performance was dwarfed.
The outside trio, Qin Yang, Ray Allen and Francisco Garcia met Tony Allen, McConley and Mayo of the Grizzlies, and they also showed helplessness.
After back-to-back road games, the Kings are in poor form.
The inner and outer lines were all suppressed.
In this case, the Kings trailed by 11 points in the first quarter.
Shooting percentage, rebounding, assists, the Kings fell behind in all directions, and no one performed well.
Even Qin Yang's state is a little poor.
After the first quarter, Coach Paul Westphal stopped Qin Yang and whispered:
"Bruce, back-to-back, the players are too tired, they are not in good shape, it doesn't matter if you continue to play and lose the game, but if the players are injured, it's trouble. Give up this game! ”
Strategically give up this game, Qin Yang has no opinion.
But only in the first quarter, he gave up so spinelessly, did not arrange tactics at all, and did not train the players.
Coach Paul's idea, Qin Yang really wanted to go up and beat him up.
The strategy of giving up the game, or even taking a rotation, is what some teams in the league are doing, the more famous being the Spurs.
But the Spurs' rotation and abandonment of the game are not really admitting defeat.
It's about some players not playing and giving other players some chances. This not only trains the players, strengthens the tactical cooperation, but will not have any impact on the team's future games.
But the words of the coach of his own team are simply hopelessly cowardly.
After taking a deep breath, Qin Yang nodded:
"Yes, but since we have given up strategically, it is better to give other players a chance, Whiteside has always wanted to play, Nocioni and Cosby don't have many chances, and the remaining time can be used for them."
Coach Paul nodded.
Qin Yang continued:
"In the rest of the games, I want to shoot more, practice my offensive skills, and hope to play a little more in the next games."
Paul Westfaal's originally kind expression changed after hearing this, and he was a little ugly in an instant.
However, Coach Paul still nodded and said, "Okay." ”
In the second quarter, the game continued.
It's just that this time the lineup of players on the field has changed greatly, the outside line is Udri, Qin Yang and Cosby, and the inside line has become Nocioni and Whiteside.
Hassan Whiteside was drafted by the Kings in the second round this year, but after being drafted, he had a big temper and was not active in team training, and was almost killed by the Kings.
Later, the Kings had a much better atmosphere inside, and Hassan Whiteside was a little more settled.
But for most of the season, Whiteside didn't have a chance.
It was Whiteside's first appearance.
"Hassan, I only have three requirements for you," Qin Yang grabbed Hassan Whiteside and said with a solemn expression.
Hassan Whiteside nodded, excited, but patiently listening.
In the Kings team, Qin Yang did not clean up Hassan Whiteside. Hassan didn't dare to make a fuss, so he had to listen carefully.
"Wait a minute, come out and cover for me, grab a rebound or get ready for an empty dunk after covering. Don't jump easily on the defensive end. ”
Qin Yang simply finished talking to Whiteside.
After finishing speaking, Qin Yang was ready to catch the ball.
The second quarter begins.
After the whistle blew, Qin Yang received Nocioni's serve and slowly dribbled across the halfcourt.
Kings attack.
Qin Yang did not hesitate, and directly lowered his body in the face of Tony Allen.
Next to Whiteside directly made a cover, after the cover, Qin Yang quickly broke through, and Whiteside didn't even have time to cut the basket in the air.
By the middle distance, Tony Allen immediately caught up.
Qin Yang did not hesitate and shot directly from the middle distance.
Bang!
Hit the board from mid-range and hit it easily.
The Grizzlies attacked, and after Marc Gasol received the ball, he easily passed the ball to Zach Randolph, who singled in the low post and scored with a light weight.
