Chapter 540 Influence

Chapter 540 Influence

Al Jefferson's inside offense is really strong.

How strong is it?

Regardless of record and statistics, Al Jefferson is the third player this season who was singled out by coach Rick Carlisle to develop offensive tactics.

The first one is Qin Yang, two championships, won the finals MVP, needless to say.

The second is Nowitzki, one of the greatest power forwards in NBA history.

The third is Al Jefferson.

Al's inside offense is unparalleled.

There is only one person who can match Al Jefferson with such a perverted offense in the active insider, and that is Zach Randolph.

In the playoffs, Zach Randolph scored 25+13 alone, beat Duncan, and led the Grizzlies to advance.

The cup combination of the two is almost rampant in the league.

Of course, Nowitzki is more inclined to shoot, not counting into it.

Al Jefferson is relieved.

The Thunder played very cute in the first quarter, Westbrook hit the basket again and again, Durant struggled to maintain the situation,

But Qin Yang was very relaxed and passed the ball after halftime.

Either to Nowitzki, or to Al Jefferson, Al Jefferson is the one with the most balls.

The Mavericks made it clear they were going to play inside.

The point is... the Thunder dare not double-team.

Short Nowitzki?Or let Qin Yang go?

With two super shooters on the outside, the Thunder didn't dare to double-team, and something would happen if they double-teamed. They could only watch Al Jefferson ravage the inside again and again.

Both Perkins and Ibaka were beaten to the point of crying.

In the past, in weak teams, even if Al Jefferson made a shot, it felt like nothing, because the team could quickly recover.

Al Jefferson's shot is more like a brush.

But now... Al Jefferson's offense must be awesome.

In the first quarter, Perkins made four fouls and Ibaka made two fouls, which was very frustrating.

Then... the game was easy.

The inside line was beaten like this, and there was no suspense in the game.

秦阳都没有怎么出手，全场高效8中6，拿到16分7助攻5篮板6抢断的数据。

6 of 4 steals were given to Russell Westbrook.

That's right, another shortcoming of the Thunder is that Westbrook makes too many mistakes.

There will always be some incomprehensible mistakes in every game.

Westbrook has always had problems.

Qin Yang rarely has black people, but Westbrook's problem is indeed getting worse.

After the game, Durant called Qin Yang to stop him. Instead of returning to Dallas, Qin Yang found a Chinese restaurant in Oklahoma for dinner.

Four dishes and one soup, very traditional Chinese meal.

This meal was strongly requested by Qin Yang, otherwise, those who would be late would only be beautified Chinese food, which was extremely unpalatable.

"Bruce, do you think I can win the championship if this goes on?"

Kevin Durant was a little depressed. In this game, Durant made 19 of 8, scored 24 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and made 8 of 8 free throws. The data is extremely impressive.

But the teammates are cheating!

Westbrook made six turnovers and all kinds of mindless layups, which completely ruined the Thunder's advantage. The Thunder's tactics are still playing blindly.

Play freely.

This is a pain for Durant.

Qin Yang took a mouthful of garlic minced cucumber, chewed it twice and swallowed it, feeling very good.

"Kevin. You have to know that nothing can be achieved overnight. From my point of view, James Harden is obviously a better teammate, but since the Thunder has made a choice, what you should do at this time is to better drive the team."

"As for winning the championship, why stay in Oklahoma City if you can't win the championship? Think about LeBron, no one is limited to one city."

Durant's expression was complicated:

"I regret the previous contract now, I should learn from you."

Kevin Durant signed a three-year contract, and he will stay with the Thunder for at least two years. During this period, the Thunder will definitely not choose to trade.

Therefore, the choice is not with Kevin Durant.

After comforting Durant, Qin Yang had no choice.

On the 8th, the Mavericks at home played against the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves have always been weak and have never been surpassed, but in this game, the Timberwolves played very well. Al wanted to perform in front of the Timberwolves, but he didn't get a chance.

Kevin Love scored 32 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists, and even the Timberwolves led until the fourth quarter.

Until the fourth quarter, the Mavericks continued to fall behind.

Only then did Qin Yang stand up, broke out in a wave, scored 9 points in a row, reversed the score and won the game.

The game was not complicated. Vince Carter rested with a minor injury, Nowitzki and Marion were in average condition, and the team did not play well in the first half.

But Qin Yang encountered another player, Corey Brewer, in this game.

Corey Brewer's defense is very good. In the first half, Qin Yang was a little depressed. This player is full of physical fitness, excellent defense, excellent running, and top-notch defense without the ball.

More importantly, this player has a good attitude and is not discouraged.

After the game, apart from hugging Kevin Love, Qin Yang also found Corey Brewer;

"Hey man, were you going to play in Dallas?"

Corey Brewer was taken aback, then nodded.

It is difficult for ordinary players to refuse the request of a superstar like Qin Yang.

Qin Yang called the team manager after the game:

"Mr. Downey, I met a good player in the game today, Corey Brewer. He is very good defensively and runs very actively. If possible, you can try to trade him. He is the kind of player who works hard on the defensive end and actively runs on the offensive end. He has a good influence on the team atmosphere."

Qin Yang said a few good words to Corey Brewer.

Donnie Nelson was a little surprised. He paused before saying, "Okay, I'll think about it."

On the 9th, they played against the Bucks at home.

The game is very simple. Needless to say, the Bucks have always been weak and have never been surpassed. They are going further and further on the road of reconstruction.

The Mavericks office, Donnie Nelson and coach Cuban are discussing the possibility of a trade.

"Corey Brewer is a good player. We got him once. At that time, he recovered from a serious injury, but he didn't perform well that season. He didn't play in the finals. We won the championship. Then he went to the Timberwolves, with a contract of 500 million for three years."

Donnie Nelson talks about Corey Brewer.

"It's about his technical and physical evaluation."

Another uniformed employee handed Cuban the file.

Cuban picked it up and looked at it. Corey Brewer's evaluation is not high, it belongs to the level of role players, and there are even potential injuries.

"If this player is to be traded, what price will it cost?"

Cuban thought for a moment and asked.

Mr. Downey had expected it a long time ago: "The price is not big, and a first-round pick should be no problem, but if this is the case, next year's draft will be very difficult to manipulate."

Donnie Nelson clearly doesn't want to trade.

Using next year's first-round pick to select such a player, even a role player at his peak feels like a loss!

Only at this time, Donnie Nelson did not continue to say anything.

Cuban hesitated, watched the game, gritted his teeth and said:

"Try it, you won't lose much."
