Chapter Forty-Eight: Breaking Through the Defense

The Pacers ate a couple of big blows at the Spurs' home court from the start. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Duncan, Parker, Qin Yan, these three people took turns to challenge the Pacers' defense, and to the displeasure of the Pacers' players and fans, they all succeeded!

Without Granger, the Pacers' offensive firepower plummeted, West's occasional three-pointers in front of Dio were useless, Hibbert couldn't beat Duncan, and George hadn't evolved into a complete body, and he was still entangled with Leonard, who also hadn't evolved.

In fact, it was Granger's major injury that allowed George to complete his evolution from a defender to a general who can attack and defend.

But that is next season's George, and next season's Pacers will really become a powerful powerhouse and an existence that can wrestle with the Heat's "Big Three".

The current Pacers can only be pressed and beaten by the Spurs, and they have almost no strength to fight back.

There is no fun in this game, Qin Yan's current performance does not have too many highlights, Barkley and Smith are also quite boring, the two are chatting with each other, which is quite dull.

The home of the Spurs has not been very passionate, and the fans are the same as the team, calm and serious. Although the addition of Qin Yan this season has brought rare passion to the team, in the "freezing three feet is not a day's cold", if you want to change the home atmosphere formed by the Spurs for more than ten years, it is definitely not possible to rely on one or two games.

In the somewhat dull atmosphere of the scene, the Spurs quietly opened the score by almost 20 points at halftime, on the other hand, on the Pacers' side, only George and West were still resisting, Hibbert occasionally grabbed a frontcourt rebound to brush up on the sense of existence, and the others had almost disappeared.

Halftime, Spurs locker room.

"Tsk, it's boring, I didn't expect the Pacers to be so careless." Dio leaned back in his seat and said boredly. Today he was in charge of defending West, which really made West very helpless, and many times his outside projections were iron.

"Well, their main heart is broken, and the others haven't grown up yet." Uncle Deng complained expressionlessly.

"Shouldn't we put some water, how much will they lose if they continue to fight like this?" Green hit all four three-pointers in the half today, and his hands were hot.

"I don't know, I'll see what the coach says." Parker is still more serious, although he also thinks this game is not much to watch.

At this time, the old man Bobo came in.

"Coach!" The whole lounge was now in unison, and everyone stood up to show respect for the old man.

"Well, sit down." Popovich was still in a good mood and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"Coach, how are we going to play in the second half?" Duncan, the boss, was the first to speak.

"Well, the first half has been played very well, the second half is casual, just don't lose." Popovich made a small joke first, and then continued in everyone's puzzled eyes, "Of course, it's not that there are no tactics in the second half, in the second half, Qin, Kehuai, you two are the main force, and I allow you unlimited firing rights." ”

Everyone was shocked? Unlimited right to fire? This thing hasn't appeared in the Spurs for many years, and what's wrong with the coach for a few days, one is two.

"Coach, I think ......" Leonard spoke first, he felt that he was useless with this privilege, his shooting was not very consistent.

However, Popovich stopped him, "Today the Pacers are clearly cultivating their future core, that little imp named George and a big black guy named Hibbert, we can't bully people too much." ”

"Besides, Qin, the only ones the Pacers are still resisting now are George, West, and Hibbert. But the only real defensive line left for them was Hibbert and George, and as long as they broke through the two of them, today's game was over. Manu Ginobili suddenly said that if there is anyone on the team who knows Popovich's tactics best, it should be this super sixth man who has the ability of a superstar but is willing to play as a substitute.

"Manu, what do you mean?" Qin Yan suddenly understood something.

"That's right," Popovich resumed the conversation, "Qin, I need you, go and break through the two of them!" ”

"Me?!" Qin Yan was taken aback, why?

"Oh, I think it's good." Duncan leaned back in his chair and said lazily.

"Qin, you can't be ashamed." Parker said as he tied his shoelaces.

"Qin, rise up!" Dio somehow learned the word.

Leonard didn't speak, but just patted his friend's shoulder hard (Qin Yan and Xiaoka's relationship is very iron), and encouraged Qin Yan with his eyes, as if to say, "Go attack with peace of mind, brother, I have to defend it!" ”

……

"Uh, Coach, that's a good thing, but can you tell me why me?" Qin Yan was still a little uneasy.

"Stupid, it's all said that there are only those two Pacers left on the other side of the future core, we won't let you go out to say hello, do you still want me to go with Tim and Tony?" Ginobili laughed and scolded with a little hatred.

Popovich didn't say much, and before leaving the door, he left a sentence: "That girl is about to fall asleep on the bench, don't let people down." ”

Well? Ahh I really didn't play passionately enough in the first half because of tactical reasons, and the little girl couldn't make her feel bored in basketball for the first time.

Well, it seems that he needs to show his real skills, Qin Yan moved the joints of his hands and feet, and made a "crackling" sound.

"Look at me!" Qin Yan said.

Back in the arena, Qin Yan said and did so.

In the second half, Qin Yan continued to impact the Pacers' defensive line, the "Nine-Fingered Beggar" really couldn't stop him, Qin Yan only needed to focus on the first step, and the impact brought by the strong body under the full acceleration made Green unable to defend at all. Even the last layup used the most fancy moves, and every time he succeeded, he would roar and ask the audience for applause and cheers, which immediately made the audience at the AT center boil.

The biggest problem of the Spurs has always been that there is no viewing of the game, and if it were not for Ginobili's "snake breakthrough" in the past, it is estimated that the Spurs fans would drop another batch.

But not now, since Qin Yan came, the Spurs have begun to have passion, and no one will say that the Spurs are playing rigidly.

No, this ball is still one meter away from the three-point line, and Qin Yan dares to pull it up and soar three points! And without waiting for the ball to go in, he beckoned everyone to retreat!

Of course, the ball finally fell into the basket accurately along an almost horizontal trajectory, and Qin Yan's action of beckoning everyone to retreat before scoring the goal also won the applause of the audience! For many years, the Spurs have never been such a domineering player with such personality!

"This is the passion we have been lacking!" Duncan, who had clocked out and sat on the bench, said with a smile to Popovich next to him.

"So I said he was the one who had to be chosen." Popovich was happy with his decision.

"Coach, I believe that after Manu and I retire, Qin and Kehuai will be able to continue the glory of the Spurs, and I can rest assured." Duncan said leisurely.

"Tim...... It's too early to say this, they haven't grown up yet, and they need your help. Bobo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became serious.

"They're like you, and what you're going to do is teach them the way David taught you."

"I will, I want to play with them for a few more years." Duncan gently reassured.

Then, the pair of the most famous masters and apprentices in the whole league did not speak again, but quietly watched Qin Yan's performance on the bench in the same posture.

And Mina, who was sitting behind them, was no longer as bored as in the first half, because the atmosphere in the second half was really different. Qin Yan's strong breakthrough and super three points made everyone look sideways, although Mina said that he didn't know much about basketball, but judging from the cheers caused by Qin Yan's violent dunk, this brother should be very popular, and more than 10,000 people in the audience were shouting his name!

"Big brother is so good, is this basketball?" Mina looked at Qin Yan's figure on the field, couldn't help but clench a pair of small hands, and loudly cheered for the big brother who had known him for a long time with the surrounding audience.

And Barkley in the commentary seat was about to blow up, singing praises to Qin Yan so hard that Kenny Smith couldn't stand it and covered his mouth with his hand.

However, at this time, Qin Yan didn't have time to pay attention to the surrounding environment, all he was thinking about now was how to attack and break the defense line of George and Hibbert, which was not a simple matter for Qin Yan now.

At the moment, he is standing in the right 45 corner of one step inside the three-point line, imitating Maddie's classic move, hiding the ball behind him with one hand, and looking coldly at Paul George in front of him.

Green had already been beaten down by Qin Yan, and George couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to leave Leonard, who was entangled with him, and personally defended Qin Yan.

At present, on the outside of the Pacers, only George is indeed the only defensive master.

George and Qin Yan are similar in height, one is 203 cm and the other is 202 cm, and they both have slender limbs, and the difference between them is their weight.

Figuratively speaking, George's figure is like a thinner Maddie, while Qin Yan's figure is Maddie, whose muscle lines are more obvious and more developed.

At that time, George was a master defender, and he would not easily use his strength to decide the winner.

In the face of Qin Yan's super triple threat, George didn't make any extra moves, just bent his knees slightly one step away from Qin Yan, adjusted his center of gravity, and then looked at Qin Yan.

Awesome, Qin Yan praised in his heart, George's current defensive skills are estimated to be on par with his friend Leonard, and it is impossible to break through his defense line fiercely.

Qin Yan's eyes flicked to the left covertly, and then the whole person's body seemed to tilt slightly to the left.

Can George feel footsteps behind him, is someone coming to stop him? quietly and quickly turned his head slightly to his right side, and found that it was Leonard who came up, and was about to adjust his pace, but George suddenly found that Qin Yan was gone!

What about people? Why did it suddenly disappear, and subconsciously looked to the left, but there was no ah?

"Heavenly! It's an air relay! At this time, the shouts of his teammates suddenly reminded George, and when he looked up, he saw that there was indeed a figure flying high in the air of the restricted area, and from the top of the three-point arc, there was a basketball figure flying into the air!

When did he pass! Moreover, how could this ball come from the top of the arc?

George was surprised and puzzled at the same time.

The audience on the court saw the attack clearly, and a second before Leonard came up to block the pick-and-roll, Parker quickly ran to the top of the three-point arc, and Qin Yan's big hand hidden behind his back quickly and accurately passed the ball to Parker.

Then because Leonard attracted attention, George didn't see that the ball had been passed out, and Qin Yan accelerated instantly, and the "legs of the speed of light" practiced on the rugby field were not blown, and the moment George turned his head, he quickly rushed into the penalty area!

Before everyone could react, Qin Yan jumped, and Parker, who received the ball, threw the ball directly into the air without hesitation!

This is a well-designed air relay, which is easy to say, but it is quite difficult to actually execute, and a bad coordination will lead to mistakes! However, if that goal is scored, it will be one of the best goals of the season!

Of course, the people on the field can't see the whole process of this ball so carefully, but there will definitely be a replay on the big screen at the scene in a while.

"Roy! Stop him! George, who was too late to defend, shouted Hibbert!

At this time, Qin Yan had already received the ball in the air, and with the ball in both hands, he made a sideways windmill dunk action, if no one stopped it, then the ball would definitely go in!

And now, the only thing that can stop him is Hibbert, who is still under the basket.

"Roy!" Seeing that Hibbert had not moved, George was unwilling to shout again!

Roy Hibbert hesitated, he really didn't understand how the ball came from, and he was also curious, maybe in his mind, he couldn't make the decision to ruin this wonderful goal at this moment.

Hibbert didn't jump, but closed his eyes and moved out of the way slightly, and at this moment he suddenly had this thought in his heart:

"It's worth it to be the backdrop for such a great goal!"

At this moment, the audience is silent, no one can stop Qin Yan, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, a best goal of the season will be born!

"Drink-" Qin Yan roared in the air, his waist stiffened, and the whole person seemed to be a few points taller out of thin air, and then he pressed down with both arms, and smashed the ball into the basket with the sound of whirring wind!

"Boom-"

"Yay! Qin! Qin! Qin! ”

The moment the ball was scored, the audience stood and cheered! If it weren't for Duncan's still being here, and only four games played this season, it is estimated that the audience would have shouted "MVP!" Finish.

Under the basket, Qin Yan let go of his hand and landed, and then raised his arms to accept the cheers of the audience, with a domineering face! Now, he's the brightest person here!

Break through the Pacers' defense mission and complete it successfully!
