Chapter 564 Helpless Melon, Power Forward Ranking

Chapter 564 Helpless Melon, Power Forward Ranking

New York is a weak team, easy to play.

But as soon as the game started, the Mavericks were beaten through.

Carmelo Anthony broke out directly in the first quarter.

My brother Gua is very sad in society this season. The Knicks have never had the temperament to win a championship. Even if they traded teammates and got a new coach, the Knicks' record is still very anxious.

In this case, Cameron made an effort from the beginning.

It was Gobert defending Carmelo Anthony.

At this time, Melon's talent is reflected. He plays with his back and directly crushes Gobert. Gobert's power forward can't defend against the small forward.

In fact, this is also the metamorphosis of Melon.

Melon at the small forward position has superb offensive skills and is a well-known kaleidoscope player in the league. In addition, Melon is strong at small forwards and fast at power forwards.

But three or four, no matter how you fight, you have an advantage.

This kind of matchup advantage can bring Melon's strength to the extreme. This is the case in this game. Gobert defended, Melon hit back directly, and fouled twice in 5 minutes.

Al Jefferson defended and was sieved by Melon.

The Mavericks called two timeouts in the first quarter because the Mavericks were so poor defensively.

More than that, the Mavericks' offense is also embarrassing.

As a former teammate of the Mavericks, Tyson Chandler, the inside defensive core of the championship team, knows the Mavericks too well.

With Tyson Chandler around, the Mavericks' drives and layups were locked down.

It is very embarrassing that only Qin Yang can score from the outside line with mid-range and long-range shots.

29-17 in the first quarter, the Mavericks trailed by 12 points.

This is the largest first quarter difference of the season.

In the second quarter, Qin Yang continued to play rarely, and the Mavericks changed to an offensive lineup.

Al Jefferson didn't fare well against Tyson Chandler, Marion went inside and the Mavericks played fast breaks.

Qin Yang controlled the rhythm, and the Mavericks finally returned to some normalcy.

But the game is still hard to play.

It is not without reason that Iman Shumpert is defending Qin Yang. This player is unknown, but he was mentioned by Larry Brown as the starter and given a lot of playing time.

Shumpert's defense is very good, his physical fitness and defensive skills are very good.

Qin Yang hadn't encountered such a difficult opponent for a long time.

Moreover, Shumpert is useless on the offensive end and can only use his strength on the defensive end, so Shumpert can focus all his energy on defending Qin Yang.

In the second quarter, Vince Carter, Seth Curry, Corey Brewer, and Casspi played well.

During the fast break, players who can break through and shoot, have a high basketball quotient, and are good at running and cutting get the best performance.

Casspi's passing and mid-range shots, Corey Brewer's aggressive cuts and rebounds.

Seth Curry's shooting and breakthrough, Vince Carter's comprehensive strength.

The Mavericks recovered the point difference in the second quarter, but still trailed by 7 points.

In the third quarter, the game was still difficult to play.

Gobert was blown up in a single quarter, six fouls left the field, Marion could only play more power forwards, and Tyson Chandler found opportunities to dunk one after another.

The inside line of the Mavericks is basically undefended.

In the third game, the Mavericks played tactically, and the tacit understanding was greatly increased.

Seth Curry, Qin Yang, and Cassby hit three-pointers one after another, catching up with the score, and the point difference did not expand. After three quarters, the Mavericks trailed by 6 points.

This game has been fighting fiercely, and it was not until the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter that the winner was decided.

The Mavericks put on a defensive lineup.

Carmelo Anthony was finally exhausted and shot hard.In the past two seasons, as Melon's grades have grown, the matchup advantage has also shrunk.

The speed at the small forward position is not fast enough, and the strength at the power forward position is not strong enough.

The melon gradually turned into a poisonous melon.

At the critical moment, the Knicks' offensive efficiency was extremely low, while Qin Yang scored consecutively in singles and hit two three-pointers against Shumpert's defense.

Immediately afterwards, the Mavericks made an air cut layup and took the Knicks away in a wave.

At the end of the game, Melon crossed his waist, looking helpless.

The data of 32 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists makes people speechless.

Melon performed well enough. Although he hit the iron a few times in the last quarter, the overall hit rate was very high.

But it was useless, and the Knicks lost without suspense.

At the press conference after the game, Melon looked sad: "We need to work harder and the team needs more changes, otherwise we can't go far in the playoffs."

Melon came to the Knicks because he was interested in the big market in New York and was willing to spend money to build a lineup.

Without money, it is difficult to win the championship.

Melon somewhat reminds the Knicks uniform team.

But the Knicks' salaries are already some of the highest in the league.

Melon is doomed to fail.

Qin Yang praised Melon after the game: "He is one of the best three positions in the league. We have nothing to do with him throughout the game. He is a well-deserved superstar."

Although he lost, Qin Yang could tell that Melon was really strong.

It's a pity that it's useless. Competitive sports don't look at strength, only victory or defeat.

The losing Knicks still need to play away games, and the Mavericks ended their home games, and the next wave of away games.

On January 1, the Mavericks played away against the Lakers.

The goal of the Lakers this season is very clear, to compete for the No. [-] pick in next year's draft.

Since Kobe was injured, the Lakers' record has plummeted.

Many people hate Kobe, saying that Kobe has countless shortcomings, but there is no doubt that Kobe's strength is really very, very strong.

Without Kobe, the Lakers couldn't get tougher.

Of course, there are other reasons, Artest left, Bynum was traded, Odom tossed and turned, leaving only Pau Gasol and Nash.

Facing such a lineup, Qin Yang should not play too easily.

With an easy score of 18+8, Qin Yang played 21 minutes, and the team gained an absolute advantage, and the game entered garbage time.

Gasol didn't play much time. His stats of 15 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks are good enough. Perhaps the only flaw is that his shooting percentage is slightly lower.

But after losing, Gasol is still not scolded by the media.

At the post-match press conference, Qin Yang supported Pau Gasol:

"I don't know why fans and experts are so harsh on Paul. In fact, Pau Gasol is one of the best power forwards in the league. If I were to make a favorite ranking of the current power forwards, the first is Duncan, the second is Dirk Nowitzki, the third is Pau Gasol, and the fourth is Kevin Garnett."

Although Qin Yang didn't cause trouble, it didn't mean he didn't dare to speak out.

There are many controversies about the ordering of active power forwards.

Kevin Garnett has always been considered the best power forward, and his ranking with Nowitzki and Duncan has been widely questioned.

Then there's Pau Gasol, who ranks last among the best active power forwards.

This made Qin Yang unable to understand.

The most powerful power forwards in active service have always been controversial in the league. Qin Yang's words sparked discussion in an instant.Shaquille O'Neal, who had already retired at this time, also collaborated with TNT to make a program and invited Qin Yang to participate.
