Chapter 20: The Battle Is Anxious
Backbite!
When the time is up, the players from both sides go off the field.
Qin Yang took a sip of the drink and towel handed over by his teammates, and after wiping his sweat, he took a sip of it.
Ten minutes older, Qin Yang felt very tired.
This is the result of Qin Yang's hard work, and it is also because Qin Yang does not have to worry about physical fitness problems at all.
As the team's substitute, Qin Yang can be regarded as having stable playing time now, especially when the performance in the previous game and this one was so stable, Qin Yang could feel the changes in his teammates.
"Hey, Bruce, you're doing really well, keep up the good work."
Even if the team was behind, LeBron still patted Qin Yang's shoulder very kindly and said with a smile.
Qin Yang nodded: "I will, thank you." ”
LeBron greeted and patted him on the shoulder, which didn't seem to be a big deal, but after this action was made, Qin Yang obviously felt the change in his teammates' attitude towards him.
The change is obvious.
Qin Yang's expression remained unchanged and he sat on the bench to rest.
The next game has nothing to do with Qin Yang.
The fierce competition continues.
From this point on, the game began to tilt slowly in the third quarter.
LeBron James led the team, the rhythm of the Cavaliers was very simple, hand it over to LeBron to solve the battle, and others did the auxiliary work, and LeBron did a good job, even if the defenders of LeBron were JR Smith and Carmelo Anthony, in this quarter, LeBron still got 7 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds Super all-around data.
The Cavaliers role players played well, with Ben Wallace making three dunks.
Big Z shot 3-of-4, Delonte West made 2-of-2 three-pointers, and Gibson hit 1.
In this case, the Cavaliers took a five-point lead in the third quarter.
The Nuggets also performed well, the only thing that was a little pitted was Carmelo Anthony, 4 points and 4 rebounds seemed good, but 1 of 5 shots, with free throws, gave people a very bad feeling. Not only that, Kenyon Martin and ** are both 1 in 3 and 1 in 4, and they have successfully become undercover agents.
The Cavaliers also had a pitfall, and Mo Williams had a successful performance in the quarter, missing all 5 shots at home.
This kind of game seems to be very safe.
But the game changes in a flash, and it says everything.
In the final section, the situation changed again. LeBron managed to steal again at a critical moment, hitting two consecutive shots and the rebound was obtained by the Nuggets.
The Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony also became an undercover agent, hitting both shots.
The two cores seemed to be proving their defensive strength, and they succeeded in stealing the show.
In this case, role players are very important.
Mo Williams still doesn't feel good, shooting 1 of 4 from the field. Delonte West has nothing to do on the court and can only contribute on the defensive end.
Vallejo didn't play a role on the offensive end except for a foul.
At this time, the veteran experience successfully came into play.
Szczebiak, the Cavaliers' worst trade this season, stepped up with a hit, a 2+1, three rebounds, 6 points and 3 rebounds to help the Cavaliers stop the bleeding.
The Nuggets took advantage of this opportunity and slowly equalized the score.
At the end of the game, the scores of the two sides turned out to be an alternate, and there was no winner or loser.
The last two minutes.
The Nuggets attacked, Billups attacked with the ball, and this time Billups still didn't rush to attack, but slowly consumed time.
The Nuggets have a one-point lead and there is still time.
Defence! Defence!
The quick loan center remembered the shout, and all the players of the Cavaliers were single-mindedly defending.
Coach McBrown doesn't have a lot of authority on the Cavaliers, but it is undeniable that Coach Brown is very strong, especially the strength of the defense.
The Cavaliers aren't uncommon defensively.
Ben Wallace defends well, but he's getting older and can't compare to what he used to be.
Delonte West's defense is also above par, but it's still a bit worse than the league's defensive giants.
But the Cavaliers' defensive efficiency value is not low, and this is a problem with the team's defensive strategy.
Billups passed the ball to Cameron, Cameron wanted to play alone, but Billups asked the ball back, passed it a few times, and the ball was back in Billups' hands.
At this time, Billups directly singled.
Time is running out.
Leaning on Dronte West, Billups shot from mid-range and hit steadily.
There was boos at the Quick Loan Center.
Qin Yang sat on the bench and looked at it carefully, with a look of envy, envy of Billups' ball possession and ability to shoot at critical moments.
This ball, if it is changed to Qin Yang, Qin Yang can't play such a steady effect.
Just like in the second quarter, LeBron went straight to the basket, and it was at this time that the superstar came into play, when the team was in a stalemate, he was able to score through his absolute strength, although the number of times was very small, and the score was not much, but it was able to open up the situation and stabilize the situation.
Ordinary players, they don't have this ball quotient, and they don't have this ability.
Many players with good quality will only realize this at the end of the game after playing for more than ten years, and then become very popular veterans in the league, passing on experience to potential rookies.
But...... Very few rookies really understand this.
The Cavaliers' offense is still an old tactic.
Vallejo covers, LeBron storms the basket, but the Nuggets' defense is tenacious and tough, LeBron passes to Vallejo, Vallejo doesn't shoot and doesn't dare to shoot.
In private, Qin Yang and Vallejo are good friends.
Qin Yang also asked Vallejo for the secret of touching porcelain, but there was a little bit that Qin Yang disagreed with Vallejo, Vallejo regarded acting as a profession, which was embarrassing.
Playing basketball, other means are only secondary, when you encounter strong defense, or special circumstances, you can use porcelain to solve the game, but at the critical moment, you still have to look at your own strength.
This goal, Vallejo didn't dare to shoot.
Vallejo passes the ball to Szczebiak.
Boom!
Shoot the iron.
JR Smith was strong enough to make a crucial rebound, and then passed to Billups, no one dared to come forward to foul, Billups's free throws were solid, and the foul at this time was to give the Nuggets points.
The Cavaliers quickly organized their defense, and the Nuggets attacked again.
The Nuggets led by one point, and Billups was firmly in possession and didn't give the Cavaliers a steal.
As the seconds passed, the time was getting closer and closer.
In the final moments, Billups made a simple and direct single and went to the basket.
In the final quarter, Billups took three shots, one missed, and the other two were in the final 120 seconds. Billups makes a layup.
LeBron assists from behind, a big hat.
But at this time, I remembered with a bang.
James fouls.
Billups gets a free throw.
