Chapter 674 The singles are outstanding, but the team is powerless

The Mavericks attacked, and Al Jefferson covered again. This time, Qin Yang was double-teamed in an instant, and James Jones and Kelly Owen rushed forward like crazy.

Qin Yang passed the ball to Al Jefferson, and Al Jefferson opened the middle distance and shot directly.

Kevin Love was obviously more than one step slower.

The Mavericks' offense is still open.

The Cavaliers attacked, James made a layup, and finally made a foul. James made 2 of 1 free throws, and Al Jefferson grabbed the second rebound.

The Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang was on the outside, Rudy Gay covered, Qin Yang broke through again, this time, Qin Yang encountered a double-team in the middle distance, Qin Yang directly hit the ground and passed to Al Jefferson, Al Jefferson turned around and hit an easy hook.

Kevin Love was in an awkward position. Although he defended Qin Yang, he gave Al a chance.

The Mavericks started the game and did not play badly on the offensive end.

Especially Qin Yang's first two three-pointers hit the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers put all their energy on Qin Yang, and Qin Yang's teammates opened up.

Al Jefferson, Corey Brewer, and Rudy Gay scored consecutively, and the Mavericks have been leading at home.

Seven minutes into the first quarter, the Cavaliers called a timeout.

"Many people think that Dirk's absence has a great impact on the Mavericks. I don't deny this, but the boss of the Mavericks is Bruce. With him, the Mavericks are still a strong team. This is an indisputable fact."

Kenny Smith said so during timeout.

O'Neill echoed:

"Maybe the Cavaliers will reverse the score next, but the Dallas people are not powerless. This game will be more exciting than imagined."

"Yes, the key is to see whether the Mavericks will be opened up when Bruce is off the court."

……

Pause back soon.

The Cavaliers took the lead in substitutions, JR Smith replaced James Jones, and the Mavericks also replaced Corey Brewer with Casspi.

It is unrealistic to play fast break now, and Casspi plays a greater role in positional warfare.

Kelly Irving dribbled the ball halfway, and he directly played singles with the ball. Facing Kelly Irving, Casspi was very helpless. Kelly Irving made a light change of direction to accelerate and layup.

Al stuck in position, trying to interfere with Irving's layup.

But Kelly Irving made a mid-range emergency stop and made a solid jump shot.

In terms of offensive skills alone, Kelly Irving is already among the top players in the NBA.Owen is very skilled in various offensive skills and has almost no offensive flaws.

The Mavericks attacked, and JR Smith single-handedly defended Qin Yang.

Qin Yang took the ball and motioned for others to pull away.

JR Smith was careful.

Qin Yang lowered his body to crossover, JR Smith didn't shake, Qin Yang accelerated, broke through on the right side, JR's body changed, and he forgot to back right side.

Qin Yang pulled the ball and broke through on the left.

JR Smith changed again, walking towards the left.

But then, Qin Yang pulled the ball again and jumped up to make a shot.

Whoosh!

A three-pointer was scored.

The cheers from the DJ and fans sounded instantly. JR Smith had a stern face. JR Smith defended the ball very well, but Qin Yang just used the rhythm to open up a little space and shot a three-pointer.

Qin Yang returned to defense, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"This ball can't be played like this forever."

Qin Yang's shot seemed simple, but in fact, his teammates stood by and watched to help Qin Yang open up the space, while Qin Yang made two fake moves to open up the space to shoot. This offensive movement seemed simple and elegant, but in fact it was very energy-consuming. Qin Yang was exhausted after hitting a dozen balls like this.

What's more, if Qin Yang played alone, his teammates would be useless.

The Cavaliers attacked, James passed to Kevin Love, and Love finally hit the iron under Qin Yang's defense.

Al Jefferson got the rebound, Qin Yang made a screen with Casspi after halftime, Qin Yang passed it to Rudy Gay, and Rudy Gay made a mid-range shot.

The fans at the scene were lost for a while.

Rudy Gay was also a little discouraged.

This ball should have been scored, and Qin Yang has attracted the defense, but from another perspective, these few rounds, Qin Yang has been holding the ball, and Rudy Gay has not even touched the ball, and it is understandable that he feels cold when he receives the pass. This ball seems to have nothing to do with Qin Yang, but Qin Yang is also responsible.

Kevin Love got the rebound, the Cavaliers attacked, James passed to JR Smith, JR Smith made a direct mid-range strike, and Tristan Thompson made a tip-up.

The Mavericks attacked, Rudy Gay covered, and Qin Yang directly shot a three-pointer with the help of the screen. ,

Whoosh!

Another three-pointer.

But then, Qin Yang made two consecutive three-pointers, and the Cavaliers took the opportunity to pull back the score. At the end of the first quarter, the two teams tied.

Qin Yang played so well in the first quarter, but the Mavericks only tied.

The performance of the Big Three of the Cavaliers was average, but they also recovered the point difference.

This is the role of the lineup. With the Big Three on the court, the Cavaliers are stronger than imagined.

During the rest time, Qin Yang sat on a chair, and the masseur continued to massage.

Coach Carlisle next to him is giving the team final instructions.

Soon, at the beginning of the second quarter, Qin Yang stayed on the bench, and the Mavericks' lineup underwent a large-scale change. Al Jefferson was replaced, and Marion, Rudy Gay, Casspi, Seth Curry and Gobert played in the second quarter.

This lineup is very bold.

Marion's average playing time this season is 5.6 minutes, and he is already a substitute among the substitutes. Because the team's internal strength is not weak, and the forward position is also strong, so Marion has very few opportunities to play.

But this is not a big problem.

Marion is getting old, and he will retire after this playoffs.

In the last few years, being able to stay with the Mavericks and win two or three championships is a very good experience for Marion, so Marion has no problem even if he plays for a short time.

This season, Marion has helped a lot in stabilizing the locker room.

Now Dirk is injured and Marion has to play again.

This substitute lineup is a desperate fight.

Casspi and Seth Curry on the outside have poor defense, and Marion on the inside is also very old, and his speed and jumping are not as good as when he was young.Once this lineup is beaten to a sieve, the Mavericks are finished.

But at the start of the game, the Mavericks did not fall behind.

Kelly Irving played Seth Curry in singles at the beginning, and the situation was not as bad as expected. Irving's touch dropped in the second quarter, and his breakthrough was once again restricted by Seth Curry.

The same is true for Kevin Love. Marion's wingspan is excellent, which interferes with Kevin Love's shooting, and Gobert is strong enough to rebound.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Cavaliers did not widen the point difference.

But 5 minutes into the second quarter, the Cavaliers came back from a timeout, and Irving and Love began to explode.
