Chapter 189: Winning Streak (1st Update)
If the Nets' starters are still somewhat famous in the league, then the Nets' bench is really out of action.
Most teams in the league will have one or two players who can handle it in the bench stage, at least the strength of the starters, to bring the substitutes.
And among the substitutes of the strong teams, there is a player comparable to a superstar. Or a superstar player.
For example, Ginobili of the Spurs.
The Nets' benches are all players whose names are unknown.
Qin Yang didn't recognize anyone who was famous in the alliance anyway, if it wasn't for chatting together last night, Qin Yang wouldn't have been able to name it alone.
As a result, Vince Carter rejuvenated himself in the bench time, eating and sleeping and playing beanie, which couldn't be more comfortable.
By the eighth minute of the third quarter, when Qin Yang came on the court, the Magic team was almost 20 points ahead, and after the third quarter ended, Qin Yang went off the court and never appeared again.
The Magic won too much suspense.
Or rather, the Nets are too weak.
In terms of overall strength, the Magic team is more than one percent.
In this game, Vince Carter was very calm, except for leading the whole team in the bench time, he had no intention of showing his strength in front of his old club.
Vince Carter was 6-of-14 from the field and finished with 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
After the game, Vince Carter expressed his gratitude to the Nets in an interview:
"I've been with this team for three years and I remember it very well, I wanted to win the championship here but I couldn't get there. Jason is gone, Kevin is gone, I left here a few months ago, but it's a place I used to love, and I've done my part to the fans here and I hope they don't blame me. It's my choice."
Vince Carter obviously has a lot of affection for the Nets, and even if he left here, he didn't want to slap his face in front of his old club.
Break up peacefully, this is undoubtedly the best option.
Even the fans at the scene gave Vince Carter a round of applause.
This scene made Qin Yang a little surprised.
In the year he has been in the league, Qin Yang has learned the most that the league is a business, and the time of one season proves this.
Last season, the Cavaliers tried out no less than 20 players before the trade deadline, but none of them stayed or even got a chance to play.
The players disappeared as if they hadn't been there.
So, no player should think about being loyal to a team, it's a stupid idea, commercial value, competitive value is what players need to consider.
But now Vince Carter is showing something better than most of the players do.
This gave Qin Yang a certain touch.
After the win over the Nets, the game went on.
The league schedule is very aggrieved, and often the last opponent has just played, and then they meet again very quickly, for example, the next Magic team meets the Bobcats.
Prior to this game, the Magic signed a veteran, Jason Williams, with the stamp White Chocolate.
For a new point guard who joins halfway, it is more embarrassing for most teams, but for the Magic, it is not a big problem.
White Chocolate is not very old, and she doesn't rely on physical fitness to play, and she played the role of a passer in the gorgeous king.
Now the Magic team doesn't even have a good point guard except for Qin Yang, and in the bench time, the Magic team relies on Jason Kidd as an organized small forward to make do.
The addition of white chocolate is a good thing.
Howard had a treat and welcomed his new teammates.
Qin Yang and Howard both welcomed him, Tony Barty also took care of Jason Williams in the locker room, and the rest of the team and Jason Williams also had no position and conflict of interest, so they naturally got along very happily.
On the 16th, he faced the Bobcats at home.
There hasn't been much change in the lineups of the two sides, and the Bobcats are naturally no opponent.
Qin Yang was 9 of 21, 4 of 12 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and got 28 points, 12 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, and Howard was 7 of 12 and 7 of 12 free throws, with 19 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks.
The weakness of the Bobcats is obvious, the three-point shot is weak, and the Magic team plays joint defense, which is easy to suppress the Bobcats.
Larry Brown's defensive strategy is very powerful at home, but when the Bobcats face the Magic team on the road, they are plagued by fouls, the offensive end cannot be opened, and the defensive end is affected, and they are almost helpless.
The best performance of the Bobcats was Ronald Murray, who had a burst of hands, shooting 13 of 21 and scoring 31 points.
Unfortunately, the Bobcats still lost.
After this game, the Magic host the Thunder.
Before the game, Magic power forward Rashad Lewis was almost injured and could play, and this game also became a comeback battle for Rashad Lewis.
Rashad Lewis is back, and that's a good thing.
But when Rashad Lewis trained, the atmosphere for the Magic team became a little awkward, and neither Blandonbass nor Ryan Anderson spoke much and didn't say hello as usual.
On the inside line of the Magic team, there are a lot of personnel.
Don't talk about Howard, the league's current team is said to be the first center, he must be the starter, and his playing time accounts for a large part, Gortat played in the playoffs last season in place of the injured Howard, and his performance was also very good, and he must have the right playing time, Rashad Lewis is carrying a contract of 100 million yuan, and he was the most stable in the playoffs last season, and he will definitely play.
All that remains is Tony Barty, Ryan Anderson and Brandonbass.
Tony Barty is okay, he's older, and basically just picks up leaks and appears for a few minutes in garbage time, usually mainly as a locker room leader and with newcomers.
But Brandonbass and Ryan Anderson are different, one is a mid-range signing from the Magic, and the other is an interior rookie who shoots well.
All five need playing time but compete for two positions.
This makes the atmosphere in the team a little weird.
When Rashad Lewis was injured, the inside position earned a lot, and now that Rashad Lewis is back, this playing time is even more difficult to adjust.
Before the game even started, there was some small emotions on the inside of the Magic team.
Against the Thunder.
Qin Yang is already familiar with it, and in this game, Qin Yang played very casually.
The Thunder's tactics are too stiff, and the interior line is too weak, and the tactics are basically Durant playing, Durant beating Westbrook, and Westbrook beating Durant.
Very simple turnip squat game.
Qin Yang was a little skeptical about the coaching level of Thunder head coach Brooks.
In this game, Qin Yang was very uncomfortable with Westbrook, who was defending Westbrook, shooting 3 of 13, scoring 10 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and having 4 turnovers.
