Chapter 148 1-3 behind
The Lakers' home court is actually the least atmospheric home court in the league.
Staples Arena is a public arena. Most of the fans who come to Staples Arena to watch the game are not fans of a certain superstar, but to pass the time.
The ticket price of hundreds of thousands of dollars restricts some fans who can bring atmosphere.
Most of the fans who come here are middle class and very sensible.
Unlike the Nuggets, Mavericks, and Pistons, the atmosphere at the Staples Arena was mediocre. The warm cheers not only went to Kobe and other Lakers players, but also to Qin Yang when he had the best five shots.
Relatively speaking, Lakers fans are more demanding.
In this case, the Cavaliers still lost without any suspense, which explains the problem.
In the third game, James performed slightly better with 23 of 8, scoring 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. The data is still relatively impressive, but the efficiency is slightly lower.
The best performers in this game were Kobe and Gasol.
Pau Gasol scored 14 of 12 and was omnipotent. He scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in a frenzy.
Kobe took less than 20 shots for the first time in the playoffs, 17 of 12, and scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists with super high efficiency.
Bynum took 14 shots, the highest shot in the playoffs, and scored 15 points and 13 rebounds. His performance was also very impressive.
Almost the whole team of the Lakers performed well and performed impeccably.
Qin Yang cheated his teammates in this game. He made 21 of 8 shots, including 5 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 2 under the basket, 11 mid-range shots, and 4 hits. It was quite dismal.
The Lakers let Qin Yang take mid-range shots, and strictly guarded against three-pointers and offenses at the basket, which made Qin Yang very distressed.
It is the first time that Qin Yang's flaws have been magnified to such an extent that his mid-range shooting percentage is less than three-pointers.
In the last game, the media who were still booing about the Lakers' infighting and the Cavaliers' victory, began to tout the strength of the Lakers after this game, and Kobe's dominance was extremely strong.
The media has never had such a thing as integrity.
After the game, the Cavaliers were in a low mood.
The strength gap between the two sides is obvious, and the Cavaliers have almost no chance.
The day after the game, the 9th.
The Cavaliers resume training.
Qin Yang also kept his head down and didn't speak. After resuming training, he practiced mid-range emergency stop jump shots, but his hit rate was relatively average even for open shots.
James was also practicing mid-range shots and three-pointers beside him, but James' shooting rate was much worse than Qin Yang's.
During the training interval, James took the energy drink, handed it to Qin Yang, and asked:
"What are your thoughts on the next game?"
Qin Yang shook his head: "It's hard to play. Our internal strength is obviously weaker. My mid-range shooting percentage is a bit poor. If Mo Williams and Delonte don't stand up, the game will be difficult to play."
Qin Yang didn't say anything bad about James.
If James' mid-range and three-pointers are accurate, then the game will still be played, but this is impossible.
The Cavaliers are one of the famous three-pointers in the league, averaging 23 three-pointers per game.
But this is not to say that the Cavaliers' three-pointers are very good. In fact, except for Qin Yang's three-pointers who are more reliable, Delonte West and Mo Williams' three-pointers are relatively average. When encountering a strong defense, their three-pointers are not reliable.
Most of the Cavaliers' three-pointers rely on James' open shots after attracting the defense.
The most powerful thing about Delonte West is his versatility, his ability to break through, defend, pass, and shoot relatively averagely.
Mo Williams is famous for his mid-range pull-up jumper, and his three-pointers are good, but not great.
Qin Yang and Delonte West played, the offensive end was not strong enough, Qin Yang and Mo Williams played, the defensive end was not strong enough.
In other words, it is almost impossible to blast the Lakers from the outside.
Inside, the Lakers have too much advantage.
Last night, Qin Yang played against the Lakers again in the virtual training space. No matter how hard Qin Yang tried, he couldn't win. Kobe released part of the ball. When combined with the ball and without the ball, it was almost impossible to defend. The Lakers' three-high lineup plus Kobe has too much advantage.
"You have to work hard in the next game, or you won't be able to play."
James was depressed.
"Actually, it's not impossible." Qin Yang tried to speak, and thought of a solution that was not a solution.
"any solution?"
James' eyes lit up.
Qin Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "The Lakers lineup is slow. If we can play fast break, we still have a chance, but if this is the case, LeBron, you have to play power forward."
James playing power forward may not be at a disadvantage defending Pau Gasol.
In this way, if James gets the rebound and makes a long pass directly, the three outsiders can directly break fast.
The Lakers lineup is too strong, but it also has flaws.
Kobe is not young and can't run fast, and the old fish Fisher is even slower.
Both Bynum and Pau Gasol are not famous for their speed. It can be said that the Lakers have a natural disadvantage in fast break defense.
If there is a fast break, Qin Yang's three-pointer threat will be greatly increased, and the Cavaliers' offense will probably be able to fight.
This is the only way for the Cavaliers.
It's just that James hesitated after hearing this, and didn't say anything.
James is a power forward and plays fast break. Who is the core of the tactics?It must be Qin Yang, Qin Yang will get most of the shots, attacking and passing will be the main focus, James' stats will be poor, and more energy will be put on defense and rebounding, such a tactic...
Qin Yang didn't say much either.
This is an approach that is not a way.
When playing against the Magic, Howard blew up the Cavaliers inside. If James and Qin Yang hadn't played well on the outside, the Magic would have been defeated, and the Cavaliers would have been eliminated.
The disadvantage of the inside line is obvious, and the game is too difficult to play.
On the 10th, the Lakers' home court, Game [-] of the Finals.
The game is still the previous tactics.
Kobe still played very restrained, not much offense with the ball, mostly catching shots and cutting layups, the efficiency was very high, Pau Gasol and Odom got a lot of possessions.
James works hard.
Qin Yang also worked hard.
Then lose.
All-round gap.In this game, Qin Yang played even worse, making 11 of 3 mid-range shots.
At the end of the game, Qin Yang vowed to himself that next year he must work hard on mid-range shooting.
After the game, TNT organized experts to explain the four games that have been played in the finals.
When talking about Qin Yang, experts say this:
"Bruce Qin is the best rookie this season, if not the first one, he is not far from Derrick Rose."
"But Qin Yang is not without flaws. For example, in the finals, Qin Yang played so-so, far from being as brilliant as before the playoffs."
