After Qin Yan responded to Lillard's challenge, he also entered his own rhythm in the next game.

Inside and outside shooting, scoring passes, rebounding and stealing, that's everything!

Of course, Lillard on the opposite side will not show weakness, Qin Yan can score, he can too, and he will not lose to Qin Yan!

What's more, Lillard's assists are sharp, and under his guidance, the Trail Blazers' offense is playing well.

Especially Aldridge, he was very excited today, playing Duncan was a dozen and one accurate, and it can even be said that Duncan was actually pressed and beaten by Aldridge in the first quarter!

Of course, not everyone in the Trail Blazers is so smooth, Matthews who is opposite Qin Yan is more miserable, almost beaten into a sieve by Qin Yan, if it weren't for Lillard sending him a few passes, Matthews would almost have no sense of existence.

Of course, even if he received a pass, he didn't have many opportunities to make a shot, after all, the guy in front of him was above him in terms of height, weight, arm length, etc.

And the worst thing is that when Qin Yan was attacking, Matthews was forced by Qin Yan more than once, or Yan Ye was a three-point shot, and it was even more common for him to be shaken down.

After the end of the first quarter, the Spurs led by five points and went into the timeout, and Matthews returned to the bench and covered his face with a large towel and said nothing.

He was hit.

Before the game, he thought that even if there was a gap between him and Qin Yan, he should have the ability to fight, at least he could limit him a little.

But after playing a quarter today, except for a difficult three-point shot at the beginning because Qin Yan had not yet entered the state, Matthews was beaten by Qin Yan for almost the entire first quarter.

He himself knew that he couldn't compare with the pride of these days in terms of talent, so Matthews soaked in the training gym almost every moment.

As an undrafted pick, he can only survive in this way, and even now that he has secured the position of the main point guard in the Trail Blazers, Matthews is still very strict with himself.

However, no matter how hard he practiced, there was always no way to make up for the gap in talent, just like today, Qin Yan could casually play three three-pointers or even half-time three-pointers, but what about Matthews? He's worked hard for so many years, but he's only been able to get his range one step beyond the three-point line.

"Wesley, what's wrong with you?" Lillard noticed that his backcourt partner was a little depressed and sat down to chat with him.

"Damian, you say, talent is such a thing, is it impossible to make up for it no matter how hard you try?" Matthews, still covering his head with a towel, just said something sullen.

"Why do you think that?" Lillard suddenly realized that his partner may have been shaken by Qin Yan's confidence, and if he continues, it is likely that Matthews will have problems playing in the future.

"That Chinese kid is very talented, and so are you, you have only played for less than two years, and the speed of improvement is very obvious, and I, I have worked hard for so many years, but the current level can only be equivalent to your rookie season, you say, what am I fighting so hard for?"

Indeed, judging from the data, Matthews' data this year is only comparable to Lillard's data last year, and it is far inferior to Qin Yan!

"Wesley! You're our starting point guard! It's my best partner! The numbers don't tell the whole story! ”

Lillard was a little anxious, and ripped off the towel on Matthews' head, Matthews is a person he knows, although he usually doesn't talk much, he will definitely not admit defeat easily, and now he actually said this kind of thing, how badly he was hit by Qin Yan in this first section!

"......" The towel from Matthews' head was ripped off, but he didn't say much, just stared at the ceiling silently.

"Listen, I'll do my best with you, Wesley, and trust in your own power! You're strong! ”

Lillard patted Matthews the shoulder, and then looked at him with very determined eyes, "I will fully support you in the future, you must believe in yourself!" ”

Matthews is indeed worthy of being an "inspirational brother", after venting, after hearing the encouragement of his teammates, his somewhat godless eyes began to regain their vitality, and at the same time, something seemed to be burning in his eyes!

In the second quarter, when he came face to face with Qin Yan again, Qin Yan felt that this opponent was a little different.

How to put it, it is really not easy to be beaten like that and still be able to bounce back.

This time it was the ball possession of the Trail Blazers, Lillard controlled the ball, and Matthews began to run in a wide range of positions since he came on the court, even if he couldn't get rid of Qin Yan, he was running desperately.

This is what Lillard said to him before he came on the court, even if he runs, run boldly, and if the ball can't be passed to him when he has a chance, then it will be Lillard's pot!

So Matthews only has one idea now, and that's to run, and then throw that damn ball in!

Aldridge suddenly came up at this time to block Matthews, Qin Yan didn't pay attention for a while, and directly bumped into Aldridge, and immediately leaked Matthews!

Lillard's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that Matthews was out of the open spot, he threw the ball to Matthews with a long throw.

Opportunity!

Matthews received the ball while running, although his body was not yet stable, but in order to hurry, he directly kicked the ground and jumped, and at the same time turned in the air and leaned back!

He can't do it if he doesn't lean back, because Qin Yan has already gotten rid of Aldridge at this time, and now he has rushed in front of him!

"Tsk, this kind of leaning back is not easy to enter." When Qin Yan rushed over, Matthews was already jumping backwards, so Qin Yan didn't make a move.

Because this kind of shooting is inherently very difficult, if Qin Yan rashly shoots a block, he will only get a foul.

And it's a three-point foul.

Matthews can barely stabilize the ball in the air, this kind of big backlash in the air has high requirements for waist and abdominal strength, even if Matthews exercises every day, his waist and abdominal strength is just average.

"Be sure to cast it!"

This is the only thought in Matthews' heart, this opportunity is to not give up and the efforts of his teammates in exchange, must be thrown!

His fingers were in close contact with the basketball, and Matthews threw the ball the moment his body lost his balance!

"Bang!"

As soon as the ball was shot, Matthews fell heavily on the floor, and he didn't even have time to do the protective action, but fortunately, his body did work out very well, and although he fell hard, there was no problem.

Matthews didn't care about anything else, he stared at the ball after it was shot, and it was crucial for him that the ball didn't go in!

"Bang, bang, bang, bang-"

The ball flew a little off the wrong path, but fortunately, after a few bumps, the basketball managed to get into the basket.

Three points were scored, leaving only two points to remain.

"Yay-" Matthews sat on the ground and waved his arm vigorously, what if the talent is not good, as long as you are willing to work hard, ordinary people can play in the NBA!

Next, Matthews seemed to regain his confidence, although he still couldn't stop Qin Yan's offense, but Matthews made two consecutive three-pointers with the help of Lillard, and each one was not easy!

After returning from the second quarter, he made three three-point shots, Wesley Matthews exploded his energy and became the Trail Blazers' trusted chief three-pointer.
