Chapter 190 Long Does Not Vote (Part [-])
Westbrook's performance was too bad.
The inefficiency is appalling, not to mention the ineffectiveness of the three-pointer, and Howard's tenacious defense at the basket, and there is no goal. Almost Westbrook has the ball, which means that the Thunder will transfer the ball.
Of course, this is also related to Kevin Durant's performance.
The Magic is getting better and better, with excellent defensive performance. Qin Yang's misplaced defense is very good on the outside. Matt Barnes is a defensive madman. Brandon Bass is very strong and defensive. Pietrus was the strongest player in the Magic's perimeter defense last season. In addition, the Magic formed a good competition. No one dared to not care about defense on the court.
杜兰特罕见的效率不高，12中4，拿到12分3篮板4助攻1抢断的数据。
Thunder's duo played a bit poorly.
But the Thunder's substitute played well. James Harden stood up when Westbrook was embarrassed, shot 14 of 7, scored 24 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
The Thunder's insider Ibaka also performed well, with relatively stable mid-range shots, excellent defense, and excellent rebounding ability. Such an insider is eye-catching.
The Magic led by 19 points in two quarters, establishing an absolute advantage, and the rest of the time was played by the bench.
Qin Yang was not very happy after winning against the Thunder. The Thunder had too many problems. Even if Kevin Durant and Westbrook fully exerted their strength, it would be difficult to win.
The technical characteristics of the two are incompatible, 1+1<2, obviously need to be disassembled.
If Kevin Durant can play great off the ball, then James Harden and Westbrook are even more speechless.
Both are point guards and both need a lot of possession.
The positions are completely opposite, and there is no way to be compatible.
Qin Yang could see clearly off the court that if James Harden performed better and better, the best choice for the Thunder would be to trade Westbrook away and choose to build the team with Kevin Durant and James Harden, but Westbrook performed equally well. No one knows how the Thunder will choose in the end.
After the victory, the Magic did not rest and flew directly to Boston the next day for an away game against the Celtics.
This game is a battle of focus, a battle of the strong, and it is also broadcast live across the United States.
As soon as they got off the plane, the Magic players were surrounded by reporters.
Qin Yang: "The Celtics are a very good opponent. They were the championship champions the year before. The Big Three are still at their peak and are strong. Anyone who ignores them will bear the price, so we will definitely go all out. As for the result, it doesn't matter. There are sixty or seventy games left this season, and this is just an ordinary game."
Howard:
"We eliminated the Celtics last season. Paul Pierce expressed dissatisfaction. Because Kevin Garnett was injured and missed, they were not at their peak, so now is a good opportunity for them. We will prove that the Magic are stronger and should advance. Our goal is the championship."
Neither Qin Yang nor Howard was careless.
In fact, unlike what others thought, the Celtics really opened the prelude to the alliance.
The F4 lineup of the Lakers is shameless, but at that time the two superstars who joined the group were close to retirement, and they were considered role players, but the Celtics' Big Three were really at their peak.
Even after being together for three years, the Celtics' Big Three are still at the end of their peak.
Within more than a year, there is definitely a possibility of winning the championship.
Therefore, the Celtics are really fighting.
Qin Yang had no idea about winning the championship together, but James used to hate him deeply and complained about the Celtics Big Three many times in private.
The three superstars are in a group at their peak, which is simply immoral.
Before the Celtics, superstars were not at the point where they couldn't lead the team to play, and they definitely wouldn't find other superstars to team up to win the championship. This is very immoral.
The Celtics were the first to start the Giants mode.
After that, the Big Three won the championship and became the mainstream.
The Rockets and the Lakers have done this. The Lakers won the championship in a thrilling manner last year, and the Cavaliers lost the possibility of winning the championship. Unless a superstar who can partner with James is traded, it is almost impossible to win the championship.
On the 20th, the competition officially started.
The Celtics were very low-key before the game and did not accept interviews, but as soon as the game started, they suffocated and wanted to teach the Magic a lesson.
The Celtics start, Perkins, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo.
The Magic started, Howard, Rashad Lewis, Matt Barnes, Pietrus, Qin Yang.
The starters of the two teams were tit-for-tat.
With a jump ball, Howard won easily.
When Qin Yang dribbled the ball halfway, Rajon Rondo emptied half a step, almost following closely, with one arm outstretched, interfering with Qin Yang.Rajon Rondo's wingspan is really abnormal, at first glance it looks like a gibbon.
Such a physical advantage is very suitable for playing basketball.
However, facing the ball, Qin Yang directly accelerated his breakthrough and made an emergency stop to shoot a three-pointer.
Rajon Rondo is very fast, but just after jumping up to defend, Qin Yang has already made a three-pointer, and Rondo's defense can't keep up at all.
Whoosh!
A three-pointer was scored.
On the sidelines, Coach Doug Rivers yelled to switch defenses, and he couldn't bear the first ball.
The key to the Celtics' victory is defense. There are almost no defensive shortcomings in the five positions. If an absolute advantage is played in one position, it will be a tragedy for the Celtics.
The Celtics attacked, and Rajon Rondo dribbled the ball and stood up after halftime, without breaking through at all.
Qin Yang stood one meter away and let go of Rajon Rondo. Rajon Rondo didn't dare to shoot at all.
Seeing this scene on CCV TV, Weiping Bryant couldn't help but said: "Rajon Rondo is very steady and looking for an opportunity to pass the ball. No one else ran out of position. The Celtics can only play slowly. This will enter the rhythm of the Celtics, which is not good for the Magic."
Fortunately, Qin Yang didn't hear such words, otherwise Qin Yang would definitely scold MMP.
With Rondo's shooting level, some people even say that the Celtics Big Three dragged down Rajon Rondo, saying that Rondo is a real superstar and the core of the Celtics.
Anyway, when Qin Yang was facing each other, he felt very awkward.
If others dare to let themselves go like this, Qin Yang can take [-] shots from beyond the three-point line in a game, and the opponent can't take care of himself.
Rondo dribbled the ball and finally passed it to Paul Pierce. Pierce played Pietrus with his back. Paul Pierce is also very old, but his offensive skills are really powerful.
After slowly swaying a few times, Pierce found the space and made a mid-range shot.
Fortunately, Pietrus reached out to interfere, and Paul Pierce struck the iron.
Howard took the rebound vigorously.
