Chapter 185
The game officially begins.
The Magic lineup changed, starting with Qin Yang, Matt Barnes, Pietrus, Brandon Bass and Howard. This lineup is mainly defensive and slightly weaker offensively.
The Cavaliers started with Shaq O'Neal, LeBron James, Hickson, Mo Williams, and Delonte West.
With the jump ball, the Magic won without any suspense.
Qin Yang holds the ball and Delonte West defends.
Delonte West is the pioneer of the Cavaliers' perimeter defense, and he can only defend Qin Yang, but facing Delonte West's defense, Qin Yang came up with a sneak attack, and suddenly jumped out of the three-point line.
Delonte West, a slow shot, Qin Yang hit directly.
Whoosh!
Three-point advantage.
The Cavaliers attacked, James attacked with the ball, and pushed Pietrus forward. Pietrus was not weak, but facing James, he was helplessly pushed into the paint.
James made a layup, encountered Howard's defense, and won two free throws.
James' bulldozer-style layup is really stable, he can attack under the basket, attract double-teams, and get free throws. This aspect is really helpless.
After making 2 of 2 free throws, the Magic attacked again.
This time, after Brandon Bass screened, Qin Yang passed the ball directly, Brandon Bass received the ball, squeezed Hickson to make a shot, but the basketball bounced out of the basket.
O'Neal got a rebound at the basket and the Cavaliers attacked.
Although O'Neal is getting older, his speed is slow, and his strength has weakened in all aspects, he still has strong strength. Howard is very helpless in this position to grab rebounds.
James continued to hold the ball, and when he met the defense at the basket, he passed it to Hickson.
Qin Yang misplaced the defense, Hickson forced a shot and ejected, and Brandon Bass got the rebound.
The tactics of the Cavaliers are still very similar to last season. Except for O'Neal who can't open the space, the other three are all shooters, ready to shoot at any time.
There are tactical reasons for Hickson to be the starter this season.
But Hixon's strength is really mediocre. To be honest, even Varejao is much better than Hixon, but Varejao's mid-range shots are not accurate.
Therefore, Varejao struggled to become a substitute.
The Magic team attacked, Qin Yang broke through with the help of a screen, Hickson misplaced the defense, Qin Yang accelerated and made an emergency stop, and hit the board easily from mid-range.
Hickson's defense was useless.
After scoring a goal, Qin Yang turned his head and saw Varejao pouting at the side of the court, cursing a few words in a low voice with no expression on his face, his expression was not very good.
The Cavaliers have not been harmonious internally this season.
Varejao, who had just renewed his contract with an annual salary of 800 million, became a substitute, which hurt Varejao very much.
The Cavaliers attacked, and James broke through again. Qin Yang stood on the outside, standing between Mo Williams and Hickson. When James passed the ball, Qin Yang rushed out and made a steal.
Very rigid and straightforward tactical passes are prone to similar problems.
Holding the ball from outside again, Qin Yang was not polite at all, and directly singled Delonte West.
In fact, although Qin Yang's offensive ability with the ball has been widely criticized, it is actually not bad. Qin Yang seldom played singles with the ball last season, mainly because James in the team can play singles with the ball, which is much more efficient than himself. At the same time, Qin Yang's strength is relatively weak.
But now, Qin Yang no longer has this worry.
The Magic's outside line Qin Yang is the core, and there is nothing wrong with singles with the ball.At the same time, Qin Yang's strength has also increased. Although he is a little weaker than the outside muscular man mentioned in the NBA, he is no problem in normal confrontation.
With this ball, Qin Yang singled Delonte West directly.
After the Crossover, he took a step back and worshiped Buddha. Delonte West was also very familiar with Qin Yang, so he leaned close to him without saying a word, and used his strength to overwhelm Qin Yang.
During the team training last season, Delonte West used this trick to restrict Qin Yang.
But now Qin Yang is directly leaning on Delonte West, with no vain strength, and directly shoots. Delonte West interferes with Qin Yang with strength, so naturally he has no way to jump up and interfere with the shooting.
Qin Yang's body was very stable, he was not impacted by Delonte West's strength, and directly hit a three-pointer.
After scoring this goal, Qin Yang's confidence increased greatly.With the ball, Mo Williams and Delonte West are both worthwhile, and with off-ball offense, Qin Yang should not be too rampant.
Catch the ball, make a 2+1 foul at the basket, turn around and force a breakthrough layup, pull up a three-pointer on the spot, forcefully squeeze the mid-range and hit the board...
In this section, Qin Yang showed off his outside offensive skills.
Delonte West and Mo Williams had black faces when they came off the field.
The two also performed well on the offensive end in this game, with a super good touch, and they kept making hits against the defensive players, helping the Cavaliers to hold the score.
But that doesn't change the fact.
Qin Yang blew up the outside line of the Cavaliers, completely blew it up.Both Delonte West and Mo Williams were beaten to shame by Qin Yang.
In the second quarter, Qin Yang violently scored 18 points and 4 assists.
The Magic led by 12 points.
12 points in the half, this is a very big difference.
In the third quarter, Qin Yang left the field, Vince Carter became the core of the offensive end, Redick and Ryan Anderson played, but the game format was reversed.
Mo Williams, who played poorly in the first half, played in the last 6 minutes of the third quarter and played well, shooting 6 of 6 from the field.
The Cavaliers thus moved some points back.
At the end of the third quarter, the Magic led by 5 points.
This is a very dangerous point difference. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers turned on the berserk mode again, and Delonte West held the ball in a single for the first ball.
Facing Redick's defense, he made a forced shot and hit a three-pointer.
At this moment... Delonte West is like Qin Yang possessed, and the three-pointers are incredibly accurate.
After Qin Yang hit the iron with a three-pointer, Delonte West ran without the ball, received a pass from James, and made another mid-range shot. Pietrus had no choice.
These two balls are fairy balls, and it is very difficult to hit them.
It is unbelievable that such a ball appears once, but the Cavaliers appeared twice.
The points difference was equalized again.
In the last 8 minutes, the game entered a critical moment.
Qin Yang dribbled the ball across the half court expressionlessly, attacking with the ball from outside.Redick ran after making a screen, Qin Yang used the screen to break through, and Delonte West followed closely.
Qin Yang made a corossover, stopped and accelerated, and went straight to the basket.
The Cavaliers' defense at the basket was not good enough, and it was more secure for Qin Yang to enter the basket and score.
Delonte West followed without hesitation, and followed Qin Yang with an almost foul move. Qin Yang made a layup and Delonte West also rushed up.
At the critical moment, Qin Yang swung his arm, spun around in the air, and hit Delonte West's arm with both hands.
Swing your arms back and forth!
