James Harden was 11 of 5. Not to mention his high shooting percentage, he also has a high level of touch, scoring 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
This efficiency value is the highest for the Thunder in this game.
But this is of no use, the Thunder still lost without suspense.
Of course, some of them are not in good condition after consecutive back-to-backs, but more of it is that the Thunder's tactics are a little bit too bad, and almost all of them test the players' performance on their own.
On February 2, the Kings played away against the Suns.
The core of the Suns is still Stephen Nash.The Suns' record this season is still flat.
Compared with weaker teams, the Suns play well and are not that weak. They always attract fans.
Two-time regular season MVP Stephen Nash is one of the best point guards in the league.
Even at such an old age, Nash's experience, passing and shooting ability are still among the top in the league.
When Qin Yang came to the Suns, he had a private meal with Nash.
After eating, we took a break and the game officially started.
The league's games are one after another, and it is busier this season, with almost no rest time.
The Suns lineup is not so good. With the departure of Stoudemire and Marion, the strength has been significantly weakened.
After the Kings' winning streak, everyone thought the game was a sure thing.
But at the end of the first quarter of the game, Coach Van Gundy sent a thunderbolt:
"I told everyone, don't worry, pay attention to time-consuming, time-consuming, they are the most bombarded team in the league, don't bombard them."
In the first quarter, the Kings turned out to be behind, which made Coach Van Gundy very angry.
Coach Van Gundy is such a straightforward BOY:
"Bruce, I think you know what to do!"
"Yes coach, I promise!"
Qin Yang replied with some shame, "The first quarter was my mistake."
Qin Yang said so, and Coach Van Gundy didn't pursue it.
In the first quarter, the Kings really messed up.
Qin Yang believed that the Kings team had a stronger lineup and had advantages both inside and outside the line, so he directly accelerated the speed and played fast break.
But when it comes to fighting like this, it's not the case at all.
Fast break requires a point guard with strong organizational skills, and Qin Yang can do it.
But when others are on the fast break, the offensive options are too poor.
Fast breaks and bombardments turned into blind fights, which is very uncomfortable.
Especially Cousins.
Logically speaking, Cousins crushes the opponent's inside line and can score no matter how he hits, but as long as Cousins catches the ball during a fast break, he is making all kinds of inappropriate passes and unreasonable high-dimensional shots.
Continuous mistakes and strikes directly opened the score.
The Suns' offense was like a tide, coming in waves. The Kings' defensive formation was not done well at all, and they were beaten.
Qin Yang has a lot of responsibility for the first quarter to be played like this.
In the second quarter, Qin Yang let go of his mentality and played a half-court offense with the Suns at ease.
In the end, the two played very differently. One was flying when he took the ball, and the battle would definitely be resolved within seven seconds.
At this time, the gap between the two teams came out.
The Suns are even weaker.
The Kings have a stronger defensive lineup and a rebounding edge.
In the second quarter, the team reversed the score.
In the third quarter, Qin Yang was off the court, and the team was controlled by Grant Hill and David West. Livingston, as the point guard, was actually half of the shooting guard.
Grant Hill made a light crossover, used the rhythm to break through, and then passed it directly to West. West made a mid-range shot and hit it easily.
The cooperation of the two veterans caused cheers away in Phoenix.
This is something that Qin Yang has never obtained.
After all, Grant Hill has contributed several years here, and the fans also respect Grant Hill.
It wasn't a tough game in the first place. After the advantage of the game was confirmed, the Kings won steadily.
The Suns didn't struggle either.
This is good.
But for the Suns, with such an atmosphere and tenacity, it is difficult to win the championship, and Stephen Nash also knows this.
That's why Stephen Nash got caught up in trading rumors.
It's not that Stephen Nash doesn't like Phoenix, and it's not that Phoenix doesn't like Stephen Nash, it's just that you can't win here.
Nash wanted to win a championship in his lifetime.
It's that simple.
After winning the Suns, the Kings traveled to Chicago to play against the Bulls.
Back to back again.
Only this time, the Bulls lost Derrick Rose.
After arriving in Chicago this time, the Chicago media did not ridicule Qin Yang, the only thing they could do was remember Derek Rose.
In just three years, Rose has become the hottest superstar in the league, the new symbol of the Chicago Bulls after Michael Jordan.
Unfortunately, seriously injured.
This kind of torn cruciate ligament injury has a great impact on players. After this kind of injury, many players' state has been greatly reduced, and they have never shown their pre-injury style.
Although Derrick Rose is very optimistic that this is not a problem and the injury will not hit him, but facts are facts.
Rose's future is in doubt.
before the game.
The Kings rest again.
"David West and Ray Allen are no longer playing. The team gave Klay Thompson, Cousins and Hassan Whiteside a chance for you two for a long time."
Coach Van Gundy rotated Ray Allen and David West, Qin Yang was unwilling.
Although the Bulls lost Rose, it was not easy to play.
When Rose was there, the Bulls were strong, and without Rose, the Bulls were not weak.
Coach Van Gundy was a bit careless, but it was Coach Van Gundy's own arrangement, and Qin Yang couldn't just object.
David West and Ray Allen have played many times in succession, and they are also very old and need to rest. Cousins has not played enough time this season and needs time to develop.
As for Klay Thompson, it is even more so.
Hassan Whiteside's performance has improved when he trained in the team this season.
Compared with the laziness when he first entered the league, Hassan has shown a certain fighting spirit now, and Coach Van Gundy also gave him a chance.
At the beginning of the game, the Bulls played very hard at home.
Derrick Rose of the Bulls has performed very well in the past few seasons. Many people don't attribute all this to Rose, but this is not correct.
The overall strength of the Bulls players is indeed strong.
They are all in their prime, unlike the Kings.
At the beginning of the game, the Bulls struggled on both offense and defense.
The weakness of the Kings appeared at this time. Hassan Whiteside's physical fitness was overwhelming, but the defensive end was too easy to jump. In the first quarter, Hassan Whiteside fouled three times in a row within 6 minutes of replacing Darko, and directly sent the Bulls to score.
There was a problem with Klay Thompson's shot selection from the outside. After receiving the ball many times, he really shot directly.
Teammates were totally unprepared.
There is no such setting in the team's tactics, and everyone is not prepared. After the shot hits the iron, the Bulls get rebounds and opportunities.
At the end of the first quarter, the Kings trailed by 5 points away.
