Chapter 459

"Bruce, there's no need to have dinner together this time. See you at the All-Star Game in two days' time!"

After Qin Yang arrived in Miami, he received a call from James.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yang smiled.

James is well-known in the NBA for his popularity, good temper, and high emotional intelligence, but James is also human and has emotions.

The former younger brother became better and better after leaving him, and even won the championship much earlier than him.

Even becoming a competitor in the finals, James felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

If this is the case, the Cavaliers should have kept Qin Yang in the first place. In that case, James will have the best second player, and the Cavaliers can win five or six championships in a row.

But James didn't do that.

After hanging up the phone, James kept telling himself: Bruce would not be willing to be the second in charge, and he would leave sooner or later.

……

On February 2, the Kings' away game against the Heat began.

The Heat started, James, Wade, Bosh, Mario Chalmers, Joel Anthony.

The Kings started, Qin Yang, Cousins, Darko, Rudy Gay, Francisco Garcia.

The Heat's starters are strong.

Needless to say about the Big Three, Mario Chalmers is also an excellent role player. He has accurate three-pointers, defends above the level line, and passes the ball. In the NCAA finals, Chalmers once hit a lore and eliminated his opponent Derrick Rose.

Perhaps the only downside to the Heat's starting lineup is Joel Anthony.

As a blue-collar insider, Joel Anthony is fast, strong, and average in height. He is not a star at all, and even worse than Kendrick Perkins and others.

But... such a player is essential.

With the Big Three on the court, one basketball is not enough.

At this time, a Nowitzki would have to be abolished.

Therefore, Joel Anthony, who is fast, has strong shot-blocking ability, and can do dirty work, is the Heat's favorite.

As soon as the game started, Cousins ​​jumped the ball to win.

Qin Yang took the ball, and it was Wade who defended Qin Yang.

Wade's popularity in the league is super high, and his victory is super strong.But similar to Rose, Wade's shortcomings are also obvious.

First of all, Wade's shooting is... horrible.

Wade's three-point shooting percentage is around 20.00% all the year round, and it has hardly reached 30.00%. The scoring depends on attacking the basket after breaking through.

Secondly, Wade's defense is not as good as expected.

Wade's defense gives people a good impression. He ranks first in blocked shots among guards, and Wade is a well-deserved number one in guards' frame protection.

But this is just an impression. In fact, many people did not notice that after Wade helped defend, the opposing players were completely emptied.

What's more, a defender's ability to protect the frame is such a weird problem, why did he go inside.

Qin Yang didn't care about Wade singles.

Wade stepped forward and bumped Qin Yang with force. Qin Yang dribbled the ball behind his back, his body swayed slightly, and retreated with the help of the impact. Wade quickly retreated.

If the distance is too close, it is easy to be breached.

Wade retreated a little bit, Qin Yang directly took the ball and jumped up.

Whoosh!

A neat three-pointer was hit, and it was too late when Wade jumped up.

Wade's height is 193 cm. This height does not have an advantage against most shooting guards. It has obvious disadvantages against Qin Yang, a weird guard.

That's why Wade was on the defensive.

In the past, when Qin Yang met Wade, he was a little depressed.

Because Qin Yang's breakthrough is not strong enough, there is also a gap in strength, but in these two seasons, Qin Yang's advantage against Wade has become greater and greater.

On the first ball, Wade was hit.

The Heat attack.

After halftime, Mario Chalmers passed the ball to James, who attacked with the ball.

This season, the Heat's tactics have stabilized, and there will be no situation where Wade and James don't know how to play. James deserves to be the leader of the team in terms of tactics and team status.

It's not that easy for James to play singles.

The main purpose of the Kings getting Rudy Gay this season is nothing else but to enhance outside confrontation and defensive capabilities.

When meeting James, the rest of the Kings are helpless, but Rudy Gay is the most suitable.

In the physical confrontation, James was very depressed, and he failed to break through the first time. Rudy Gay used his tyrannical strength and speed to defend James.

James passed to Bosh in the high post, and Bosh passed to Wade in the running position.

Wade breaks through and meets Francisco Garcia.

Garcia's defense is also very strong, much stronger than many so-called defensive first and second teams.

Garcia took a step away, but Wade still dribbled, not daring to break through.

In the end, Wade made a half-circle and gave it to James.

Bosh stepped forward to cover, James broke through, Darko stepped forward to help defend, and got stuck.

But James jumped up and made a shot from the inner position of the middle distance. The basketball was hit steadily, and Darko's supplementary defense was not in place at all.

"Defend, step forward and defend!"

Van Gundy shouted and waved his arms,

Darko looked a little embarrassed.

Qin Yang stepped forward to comfort Dako.

The Kings attacked, Qin Yang did not rush to attack by himself.

Rudy Gay stepped forward to cover, Qin Yang broke through directly, James assisted in the defense, Qin Yang passed to Darko, Darko took the ball in a high position, and Bosh defended.

Darko didn't get a good chance to attack after dribbling.

Bosh always feels soft. In fact, Bosh is one of the best defensive players at the power forward position.

Bosh did a great job on the interference shot.

Qin Yang moved to find an opportunity.Wade's follow-up was slow, Qin Yang broke through directly, but Wade followed directly behind, waiting for Qin Yang to catch up after a layup.

This is what Wade and James do best.

But when Qin Yang made an easy layup, he shook his hand and passed it to the running Rudy Gay.

Rudy Gay scores with a layup from close range.

No dunk.

The Kings have been more and more tagged with Qin Yang this season. Qin Yang likes to shoot, likes to play steadily, and doesn't like to dunk, so as not to get injured.

Others also slowly learned.

Rudy Gay learned quickly. In the past, Rudy Gay liked a big dunk when he broke through to the inside.

But no matter how you deduct it, it's two points.

No yarn difference.

The Heat attacked, James broke through and entered the basket, encountered a flanking attack, passed to Wade, and Wade made a mid-range shot.

Qin Yang misplaced to defend Bosh, but the Heat didn't dare to attack.

Darko gets the rebound and the Kings attack.

After a series of passes, Darko set up Garcia for a mid-range shot.

The Heat attacked and James made a layup and got a free throw.

The Heat's offense couldn't open.

Rudy Gay defended against James, and the defensive effect was very good, but James' performance was not good, and Garcia's defense of Wade also made the latter uncomfortable.

What's more, the king's frame guard is very powerful.

Whether it is Darko or Cousins, the defense at the basket is very good.

Wade and James couldn't shoot from the outside, encountered tenacious defense, and were disturbed at the end of the basket. The Heat couldn't start the situation at all.

Wade and James shot from the outside, 6 of 2 in the first quarter, above the level line.

But the Kings have already achieved an 8-point advantage.
