Chapter 558 Critical moment, 4 consecutive games

Chapter 558 At the critical moment, four games in a row

The Mavericks put on a defensive lineup.

Francesca Garcia, Sean Marion, Gobert, Corey Brewer, Qin Yang.

For the defense of this lineup, the Grizzlies can only rely on the inside to attack.

The Mavericks were attacking, and Qin Yang could only play singles with the ball.

In this lineup, only Qin Yang can attack with the ball. Therefore, the only option is to play singles with the ball.

Marion made a cover, and Qin Yang directly broke through.

The Grizzlies double-teamed, Qin Yang retreated to the top of the arc on the right, Corey Brewer stepped forward to cover, Qin Yang reached the bottom corner and passed the ball to Corey Brewer.

Corey Brewer took the ball and passed it to Qin Yang who was running, and then Corey made a screen for Qin Yang.

After covering, Qin Yang shot directly.

In this position, there is no way to double-team.

Whoosh!

A three-pointer was scored.

This small-scale cooperation is a strategy of the Mavericks. In the past, Nowitzki was on the court, and this tactic was of little significance.

With Nowitzki and Qin Yang present, two natural opportunities for dislocation, the Mavericks can easily score without complicated tactics. .

But now, this tactic is very useful.

Corey Brewer has a high ball quotient, and Qin Yang made easy shots by running continuously to cover.

The Grizzlies attack.

Cunit Lee, Mike Conley and Tony Allen didn't find a chance at all on the outside. The Mavericks' outside defense is too strong.

Eventually Conley passed the ball to Marc Gasol.

Marc Gasol singled Marion, Qin Yang quickly pinched, Gasol passed the ball out, but the Mavericks quickly switched defenses.

Qin Yang once again assisted in the defense to Kunit Lee.

As an old teammate, Qin Yang is very familiar with Cunett Lee. This ball, Qin Yang jumped up at the right time, and his fingers touched the basketball.

Sean Marion reacted quickly at the basket and got the rebound.

The Mavericks attack.

Qin Yang attacked with the ball again.

It was Kunit Lee who defended Qin Yang, and Tony Allen watched closely, not letting go at all.

If Qin Yang shoots, Kunit Lee can interfere in place, and if he breaks through, Tony Allen is prepared, so no matter how he plays, it is difficult for Qin Yang to attack.

But at this time, the gap came out.

Qin Yang dribbled the ball with his body down, crossed continuously, and after lowering his shoulders, made a feint to break through to the right, and then calmly turned to the left.

After the breakthrough, Qin Yang faced Tony Allen with a back-up single. After turning around and breaking through, Qin Yang stepped back and made a jump shot.

Tony Allen stepped back and didn't defend well at all.

This ball, Knit Lee and Tony Allen are all background boards.

Qin Yang's speed is not fast, but the whole offense is extremely smooth, and he scores goals easily and freely.

At the critical moment, it depends on the superstar.

If Qin Yang played like this in the whole game, Qin Yang would be exhausted.This style of play looks easy and comfortable, but Qin Yang concentrated his energy, accelerated and changed directions, stopped and retreated suddenly, which consumed a lot of energy.

This style of play cannot last.

If it lasts long, something will happen.

But at the critical moment, it is no problem to play like this for three or four minutes.

The Mavericks used a defensive lineup to defend the Grizzlies' offense. In the last 5 minutes, the Grizzlies shot less than [-]% of the shots, while Qin Yang scored in various singles.

In the last minute, Qin Yang once again used a strange rhythm to score a fake fax layup, and cheers erupted at home.

Not much time, the Grizzlies called a timeout and replaced the main players.

competition is over.

Qin Yang scored 51 points and 12 assists.

Fifty points again.

Four consecutive games, tying Kobe's record.

In the press conference after the game, the Grizzlies players looked very lonely.

McConley, who just got a big contract, looked helpless: "Sometimes, the game will not be the same as you imagined. We worked hard, but the result may not be good. I have played against many point guards in the league, Deron Williams, Chris Paul, Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, etc., but... Bruce is the most difficult one to defend. He is almost impossible to defend."

"I think he should play small forward, not point guard."

McConley faced Qin Yang four times and defended four times. Qin Yang made three hits, which made Conley want to cry.

It is a tragedy for the point guard to defend Qin Yang.

Conley's defense is very good as a point guard. Except for Qin Yang, anyone in the league's point guard will feel uncomfortable when they meet Conley.

Even compared to Paul, Conley's defense is more capricious.

And the misplaced defense of the shooting guard, Conley is much better than Paul.

However, Conley still couldn't help it.

Zach Randolph:

"I don't think any player is like playing against Bruce. Every time I face his layup, I feel uncomfortable because I don't know what offensive choice he will make in the next moment. No matter what you do, he can always score successfully. This is the most desperate thing."

Marc Gasol:

"We need to do better. Bruce is far more powerful than expected. This is different from the statistics. Even if he only scored 10 points in a game, it will make us very uncomfortable."

……

The Grizzlies players panicked.

Qin Yang clearly felt the changes among the players of the Grizzlies.

In the past few seasons, the Grizzlies were a strong team, and they showed the demeanor of a strong team. The black eight beat the Spurs, and the black and white two bears beat Duncan to shame.

However, the Grizzlies lack the temperament of a championship.

Unable to stabilize at critical moments.

This is much worse than the Celtics at the beginning. Even after the Celtics won the championship, the strength of the Celtics dropped sharply, but the resilience of the Celtics of the Big Three is something that people will never forget.

The players have lost confidence a bit, and it is difficult for the Grizzlies to continue winning.

Perhaps at this time, choosing to rebuild is the best choice.

Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph are indeed very strong, but they are really not suitable for partners. With such an insider, Qin Yang can easily win if he finds an opportunity.

After this game, the discussion about this season's regular season MVP also reached its peak.

In this season's regular season MVP rankings, the leaders are Qin Yang, Kevin Durant and LeBron James.

James' data is relatively poor. For the Heat, the important thing is the finals MVP, so the regular season is not that important.

In comparison, Qin Yang and Kevin Durant have similar statistics, and both have good team leadership records. They are really popular candidates.

After the game, Qin Yang was interviewed:

"Kevin is one of the best people in the league. There are many similarities between us. We are also good friends, so the MVP of the regular season, I think we will win or lose on the court."

Kevin Durant was also interviewed:

"Regular season MVP, of course I want it, but Bruce also deserves that trophy. I don't have a problem with either of the two of us getting the final award. All I can do is play every game well."

Durant is very humble, but the Thunder's team situation is not as good as expected.
