Chapter 220 Three Shows of Power (Part [-])
Many people think that the gap between NBA players is very large, but in fact, the gap between players is not as big as imagined. Even for role players, as long as they work hard, their performance is often more critical than the average starter.
Amundsen is such a player.
As a star on the NCAA court, Louis Amundson was directly drafted, but he performed well in the NBDL and got the chance to enter the NBA.
Amundsen looks ordinary at first glance, and his statistics on the court are not outstanding.
Blocking, grabbing rebounds, and defending hard.Amundson doesn't care about statistics, and is willing to do dirty work. During the substitute time, Amundson actually defended Brandon Bass very hard, shooting 5 of 1 shots, which was a big loss.
In this case, the Magic's point difference has widened instead.
Qin Yang was a little speechless.
Eight minutes into the third quarter, when Qin Yang played, the Magic were already 8 points behind. If he didn't play again, the Magic would have no chance.
Attacking with the ball, facing Richardson's defense, Qin Yang directly accelerated and made an emergency stop, then took a step back and pulled the ball. After shaking his center of gravity, Qin Yang directly shot a three-pointer.
Bang!
With a three-point shot, Qin Yang got a chance, but the ball felt a bit poor.
At the basket, Amundson flicked the ball over Brandon Bass, and Dudley got the rebound.Ryan Anderson is of very little use at this time.
Dragic dribbled the ball across the half court and the Suns advanced slowly. Dudley stepped forward to make a screen and then went straight to the basket. Qin Yang defended Dragic and would not give him a chance to break through and shoot, but Dragic gave Dudley a safe lob.
Amundson got stuck, and after a delay, Dudley scored a layup.
Ryan Anderson's defense was too poor to keep up with the speed, but Brandon Bass wanted to defend and was stuck by Amundson, and his speed was a little slower.
The difference is 14 points.
Coach Van Gundy called a timeout and Howard came on to replace Ryan Anderson.
The Magic team attacked, and Qin Yang didn't panic after dribbling the ball halfway. After Howard stepped forward and made a screen, Qin Yang broke through directly, and then passed the ball to Howard halfway.
Howard made a direct air cut dunk.
The Suns attacked, and Dragic used the cover to break through from the outside. After Qin Yang defended, Dragic passed the ball and Dudley hit a three-pointer. The point difference widened again.
The Magic attacked, Qin Yang passed to Redick, Redick made a mid-range strike, and Howard got a rebound.
Then there was a beep, and Amundson fouled.
Howard glared at Amundson, and Amundson raised his hand to admit that he had fouled. There was no extra action, and no one in the Suns tried to quibble about the foul.
Shark hacking tactics!
Qin Yang felt helpless.
Howard made a free throw and finally made 2 of 2, which is very rare.When the Suns continued to attack, Howard grabbed a defensive rebound.
After halftime, Qin Yang passed the ball to Howard. Howard didn't take off and dunk directly, but turned around and dunked after getting stuck.
Amundsen fouled again.
Howard's face was darkened.
2 for 1 free throw.
"It's not good to play like this. If the shark-killing tactics continue like this, the teammates will have no chance to attack. In the rest of the time, there is no way to close the score."
Qin Yang was a little flustered, he had never encountered such a tactic before...
"Dwight, pay attention to air cuts, don't attack with the ball, I will increase shots later, you grab the rebound."
Qin Yang grabbed Howard and explained in a low voice, Howard nodded: "Don't worry about shooting, I'm under the basket."
The Magic team attacked, and after Redick stepped forward and made a screen, Qin Yang jumped up and shot a three-pointer. Dudley was a beat slower, and Qin Yang shot easily without pressure.
Whoosh!
A three-pointer was hit and the point difference narrowed.
The Suns attacked, and Dragic broke through after the pick-and-roll, and went straight to the basket. Qin Yang chased him from behind, and a chasing big cap was capped out.
After chasing the big hat several times in a row, Qin Yang felt incomparably smooth.
This kind of big cap can release emotions the most. Perhaps the only embarrassing thing is that this kind of blocked shot is actually not very helpful to the defense. If you interfere with a shot, your teammates can get a rebound, but after the chasing big cap, the ball must belong to the opponent.
From the point of view of data, Qin Yang's chasing cap is of little significance.
But for fans and experts, such a chasing cap can best reflect a player's defensive strength. A hard-working defense for more than ten minutes in a game is not as impressive as this block.
The Suns served and Dudley made a shot.
Howard gets the rebound.
When Howard was on the court, his rebound protection was indeed much better, which is one of Howard's greatest talents.
After dribbling the ball for half the court, Qin Yang took a step beyond the three-point line. He directly went down to speed up the breakthrough, then made an emergency stop and then took a quick step back, and took a shot two steps away from the three-point line.
Dudley obviously didn't react.
Whoosh!
Super long-range three-pointer shot.
In the front position, Qin Yang's super long-range three-pointers are quite accurate. Since Howard is inside, Qin Yang doesn't have to be polite.
The Suns attacked, Qin Yang misplaced the defense, Richardson hit the iron, and Howard grabbed the rebound again.
Amundsen was embarrassed at this time.
If Howard fouled Amundson when he was attacking, it would be a shark-cutting tactic, but if he fouled when his own side was attacking, it would be more harm than good.
Qin Yang accelerated his breakthrough this time. After pulling the ball and stepping back, he bowed to Buddha. After the breakthrough, he attracted the defense and assisted Brandon Bass to make a hit.
The Suns attacked and Dragic assisted Richardson to hit a three-pointer.
A group of Suns were near the three-point line, and Howard was alone inside, unable to defend against it. At this time, it is easy for the outside line to be neutral.
The Magic team attacked, Qin Yang stopped and accelerated, and after the crossover, he suddenly jumped up and shot, hitting the board.
His teammates couldn't stand up, so Qin Yang had to make a move himself.
At the last chance to attack, Qin Yang delayed the time until the last three seconds and jumped up. With his height advantage, Qin Yang shot casually.
Whoosh!
A three-pointer was hit.
The third quarter ended quickly, and the Magic trailed by 6 points.
Back on the bench, Qin Yang took the towel from his teammates and said thank you.
"It's a tough game."
Qin Yang whispered to Vince Carter, and Vince Carter was ready to play.
"Indeed, the whistle in this game is very strict and the scale is very small." Vince Carter added without saying much.In fact, any team playing against the Suns, the scale will get smaller.
The league must support fans who attract fans like the Suns.
The penalty scale is naturally smaller.
This made the Magic a little uncomfortable, especially compared with the last game, it felt a bit unacceptable, and many teammates didn't feel like defensive and offensive.
The fourth quarter begins.
