Chapter 252 Concession (2 more)

Chapter 252 Concession (Part [-])

At the end of the first quarter, Howard sat in a chair very depressed.

In addition to Qin Yang's 5-of-3 shooting rate this year, the Magic are almost all pitfalls. Howard is 6-of-2 at the basket, and his efficiency is unbearable.

Facing an insider like LaMarcus Aldridge, Howard performed so poorly, it really makes people wonder what Howard was up to last night.

The second quarter starts soon.

Jason Williams plays, every game, Jason Williams has about ten to 15 minutes of playing time, Qin Yang can rest during this time.

But as soon as Jason Williams came on, things changed.

Andre Miller succeeded in consecutive singles Jason Williams, a simple post-up singles, turnaround jumper, Andre Miller is using it with proficiency.

The speed is not fast, and the strength is not too strong, but Jason Williams works in singles.

After three consecutive balls, Coach Van Gundy called a timeout.

Barnes replaced Redick, and the Magic switched defenses.

Andre Miller is quietly starting to organize the offense, no longer defending his Matt Barnes with post-up singles.

There are many face bumpers in the NBA, such as Nowitzki and Silver Horn King, who look very similar.

But the most famous face bumper is Karen Mok, and it's not just one person.It is incredible that Andre Miller and Livingston actually resemble Karen Mok.

After the defensive change, things didn't get better for the Magic.

Aldridge did not end, and Gortat, who came off the bench, faced Aldridge and played very embarrassingly. Aldridge made a mid-range jumper, 6 of 4, and Gortat's face was dull.

Under the leadership of Aldridge, the Blazers played very resolutely.

What's even more embarrassing is that the Magic's substitutes are still using new tactics.

Cuts, screens, shots.

The shooting percentage picked up slightly in the second quarter, but the 20-of-8 shooting percentage was very average, because there was too much emphasis on passing and shooting, and there were only two free throws in a single quarter.

In contrast, the Blazers got 8 free throws.

It's all shooting, and the inside lethality is reduced. Originally, this game is the Blazers' home court. After this, the Magic will naturally have very few free throws.

In the second quarter, the Magic trailed 18-28.

After the end of the first half, the atmosphere in the Magic team was not that bad. Although they were behind, but not many. From a tactical point of view, the Magic team's tactics played out.

After changing clothes, Qin Yang quietly walked out of the locker room and found Coach Van Gundy.

"Coach, do you want to change your tactics in the second half? It's dangerous to continue playing like this."

Qin Yang was a little worried and gave advice to the coach.

Coach Van Gundy thought for a while, then shook his head: "The new tactics haven't worked out yet, so we can take another look. Even if we lose this game, we can still afford to lose."

This season, the Magic's record is very good, even if they lose a few games, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

The coach said so, but Qin Yang didn't insist.

In the second half, Qin Yang came on the field, playing and cooperating quite well. Once a defensive player defended strongly, Qin Yang never forced a shot and passed it directly to his teammates.

However...teammates are pitted one by one.

Vince Carter, who has been dubbed as a fat card, made another pitfall in this game. He made 4 of 0 shots and was replaced by Van Gundy after 8 minutes of playing.

The Magic led 29-25 in the third quarter.

But in the fourth quarter, the two teams were tied, and the Magic finally lost the game by 4 points.

After losing the game, Qin Yang felt a little uncomfortable with his hands on his hips.

Howard even made a small temper, pretending not to see Coach Van Gundy.

When Van Gundy went to the post-match interview, Howard complained in a low voice: "I don't know what he thinks. Why does he have to play this tactic? If we continue to play like this, we must lose dozens of games."

Howard played poorly in the first quarter, but later hit a high percentage and played very well.

But Van Gundy's tactic was outside Princeton, and Howard's possession of the ball was very poor. Except for Qin Yang's pass, Howard could almost only score the second time after grabbing a rebound.

After the game, coach Van Gundy accepted an interview and admitted his mistake:

"This loss is mainly on me. We hope to be able to replicate the perimeter offense of the last game, but obviously at this stage we can't do that yet."

Back in Orlando, Howard wanted to say something when he was being interviewed, but Qin Yang held him back.

"It's just one game, don't worry, you won't play like this in the next game."

Qin Yang didn't let Howard talk nonsense.

In this game, Qin Yang scored 13 of 9 and scored 22 points and 6 assists in a seemingly efficient manner. However, the Magic did not perform well. This tactic separated the possession of the ball.

The other teammates are naturally very happy and can get enough ball rights.

If Howard said something publicly, what would other teammates think.

I just shoot more in one game, you just say that, what do you mean?

This is also the reason why Qin Yangming knew that such a fight was not good, but he didn't insist on attacking.

Strictly speaking, it's not that the tactics are bad, but that the technical characteristics of the Magic's players can't meet the requirements of the tactics, they can't attack on the offensive end, and they can't defend on the defensive end.

It's no wonder if you don't lose.

No one is God, and they cannot control so much. Most of the time, choosing to be patient is the best choice.

…………

On the 21st, the Magic returned to their home court for a day off.

On the 22nd, the Magic played against the Kings at home.

A week ago, the Magic played an away game against the Kings, and there was no suspense in winning. This time they returned to their home court, and the Magic players were also full of momentum.

Playing at home, as expected by Qin Yang, the team resumed conventional tactics again.

Howard is the main player on the inside, and Qin Yang is the core offense and organization on the outside.

This tactic is the simplest and most direct, but it is also the best at this stage.

With the jump ball, Howard won without a doubt.

Qin Yang dribbled the ball across half court and hit Dante Green directly.

In order to defend Qin Yang, the Kings are also very hard. The point guard is Tyreke Evans, and everyone else is a swingman. The lowest height is Dante Green 2m.

The height of this lineup is really scary.

For other teams, the point guards and shooting guards defending Qin Yang are almost always misplaced without any suspense. Qin Yang shot very casually. Now they use players with a height of 211cm to defend Qin Yang. The Kings are very smart.

But Qin Yang still chose to play singles.

Dante Green's wingspan is relatively low, and his height and speed are not too slow for this height. Logically speaking, he will definitely not suffer against Qin Yang.

But at the first ball, Qin Yang showed his talent.

Stopping suddenly and accelerating, Qin Yang broke through directly, and Dante Green's speed couldn't keep up at all.

Trainer Gannon Baker once praised Qin Yang's outstanding talent, but Qin Yang rarely showed other aspects except his height and excellent shooting.

But this time, Qin Yang showed it.

Dante Green's speed is definitely excellent in the height of 211cm, but facing Qin Yang who is 202cm, he was directly given by Qin Yang with his speed.

Qin Yang's speed requires a player under 190 to keep up.

A player with a height of 190-195, unless he is super fast, it is basically impossible to keep up.

Faster than me, taller than me, faster than me, Qin Yang has no suspense in singles.
