Chapter 458 Battle against the 3 giants
Chapter 458 Battle against the Big Three
After winning against the Pistons, Qin Yang stepped forward and hugged Ben Wallace.
When he was in the Cavaliers, Ben Wallace and Qin Yang had a good relationship, and both of them were players who refused to admit defeat.But at that time, Qin Yang was known as the rising star, while Ben Wallace was the sunset.
Later, Ben Wallace returned to the Pistons and found a second spring.
This season, Ben Wallace has been miserable.
Playing time and statistics are not mentioned.
This season Ben Wallace's role is to be a veteran in the locker room, stabilizing the emotions and fighting will of the ball emperor.After this season, Ben Wallace will retire after his contract ends.
Ben Wallace's career was thus over.
Qin Yang couldn't understand such a thing as retirement, but Ben Wallace was a little bit discouraged.
After playing the Pistons, the Kings will have three consecutive away games against the Cavaliers, the Heat and the Wizards. Bringing the previous game, this is an away game for six consecutive games.
Six back-to-back games, if it was before, the Kings would have to lose half.
But this time, the Kings deserved it.
On February 2, the Kings played against the Cavaliers.
The Kings adopted a rotation, with Qin Yang and Darko resting.
In the Kings lineup this season, the most important outsider is Qin Yang, and the most important insider is not Cousins, not David West, but Dakomilicic.
That's right, Darko.
Darko averaged 2.9 blocks per game this season, the team's well-deserved No. [-].
Ranked first in the league.
Darko's role in the Kings is equivalent to Kevin Garnett's role in the Celtics. Although the possession of the ball is not special, the defensive role is very obvious.
More than that, Darko's low-post singles, high-post support and jumper skills are very important to perfect the Kings' tactics.
David West also played well this season, but he is old after all, and his defense is too poor.
Darko's performance this season has made many people call for him to be selected as an All-Star.
Against the Cavaliers, Qin Yang and Darko did not play.
The two teams are still fighting fiercely.
The Cavaliers are still a weak team this season.
After LeBron James left last season, the Cavaliers won the No. [-] pick without a doubt, and then chose Kyrie Irving.
At the same time, Tristan Thompson, nicknamed TT, was selected.
Not a bad choice.
Although Kelly Irving has just entered the league this season, his cold-blooded killer and singles king temperament have been fully displayed.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, rookie Kyrie Irving ranks first in the rankings of players' average singles per game.
Kelly Irving's personal offensive skills with the ball rank first in the league.
And Kyrie Irving has absolutely no technical flaws.
Three-pointers, breakthroughs, mid-range shots, and finishing offenses at the basket.
Kyrie Irving's arsenal almost makes players feel envious.
If you have to talk about Kelly Irving's flaws, it's not without them.His passing is sloppy, his breakthrough and scoring skills are much worse than Wade's, and Irving is not good at post-up singles, and his shot selection is also very worrying.
But no matter how good it is, the Cavaliers picked a good rookie.
Before the game, Qin Yang was interviewed and said a lot of good things:
"The Cleveland Cavaliers is a great team. I started my career here. Every time I come here, I have a special feeling. It's like my hometown. In Chinese, it's called: You Zi Lian Jia."
"The Cavaliers made a very good choice. Kelly Irving is a well-deserved best rookie. His personal strength is close to the All-Star level. After one or two seasons of training, I am optimistic that he will become a superstar."
"I can't play in this game. It's not that I have any contempt for the Cavaliers. You must know that this kind of thinking is a sin in China. Everyone will not say NO to their hometown. The reason is very simple. Next we will play against the Heat. We must stay strong for it. I hope there will be a perfect battle before the All-Star Game."
Qin Yang spoke from his heart.
Of course, a large part of this is due to the needs of the All-Star Game.
In the Western Conference All-Star Game, Qin Yang and Chris Paul are very close in votes. Qin Yang is a newcomer and his popularity is very high.
In terms of strength and court performance, Qin Yang is better than Paul.
But it can't stop Paul from being in the league for so long, he has a good fan base, and in the Clippers this season, Paul's exposure has greatly increased, and his popularity has increased significantly.
A big city naturally attracts a lot of attention.
The game between the Cavaliers and the Kings... was not as weak as Qin Yang thought.
Although Kelly Irving failed to connect the teams, the work of connecting the teams was handed over to Antawn Jamison and Sessions.
Antawn Jamison played very well for the Cavaliers this season and played brilliantly.
Irving even scored 23 points.
In addition, Tristan Thompson had 15 points and 12 rebounds, and Cousins was struggling.
In this game, Cousins made many high jump shots and passes, which pitted his teammates.
The game continued until the third quarter, and in the end Ray Allen showed his superstar demeanor, taking the victory with a quasi-lore in the last 30 seconds.
98-97 was the final score.
It's a perfect game.
For the Kings, the meaning has come true.
唯一郁闷的是考辛斯，考辛斯本场比赛出场41分钟21中6，拿到19分9篮板3助攻5失误6犯规的数据，效率值低的让人发指。
If it's a weak team, it doesn't matter how Cousins stats and how he exercises, but the Kings are very strong this season.
Cousins has been sidelined by coach Van Gundy who has made a decision.
In the next games of this season, Cousins will not have a lot of opportunities to attack with the ball. Otherwise, the Kings will be in danger in the playoffs.
After the win over the Cavaliers, the Kings headed to Miami to play the Heat.
After experiencing the failure of last season, the Heat have fully matured this season.
Under tremendous pressure among the Big Three, they finally slowly matched the most suitable lineup, with clear priorities and a clear division of labor. The Heat have also become a super team in the league.
Before this game, the Heat had won ten consecutive victories.
This season, the Heat have a good chance of winning the championship.
If they don't win the championship, the Heat will become the laughing stock of the league.
When the Big Three held together at their peak, they failed to win the championship.
The biggest joke in NBA history will also be produced.
The Kings aim to win the championship, but this year the strengths of the teams vary significantly. The Eastern Conference is generally weak, and the Blazers can rank well. The Heat are the undisputed champions of the Eastern Conference.
Therefore, if the Kings advance to the finals, the opponent must be the Heat.
Before the game, Coach Van Gundy made a very detailed arrangement:
"The outcome of this game is inside, Cousins, Darko, West, you must put pressure on the opponent on the defensive end. If the defensive end cannot limit the opponent, this game will be difficult to play."
