Chapter 147 Helpless to Lose (Second Update!)

Half time.

Qin Yang covered his head with a towel, carefully thinking about the past section.

"The Lakers did not defend their own breakthroughs, but focused on the outside three-pointer and the inside finishing offense, and let me shoot from the middle distance."

Qin Yang noticed this change immediately and felt a headache.

Qin Yang felt pretty good in this match, 5 of 2 in the middle distance, barely reaching [-]%, this hit rate is very average, there are some pitfalls.Especially when the team needs to save the score, this kind of shooting rate is not good.

During the regular season, Qin Yang has always been a substitute, mainly focusing on three-point shooting and passing. The defect of low mid-range shooting percentage has not been specifically addressed by the team.

The defensive focus of all teams is on players like James and Kobe. As for Qin Yang, just pay attention to it.But in the playoffs, when the team was in trouble, Qin Yang's defect was magnified.

The characteristics of James happened to be restrained by the Lakers. At this time, a lot of defensive pressure fell on Qin Yang.

If it is a regular season, Qin Yang will feel excited and can try to challenge.

But this is the playoffs, the finals, Qin Yang is not qualified to use his own methods to block the outcome of this game.

"Xiao Mo, wait a moment to increase the mid-range shooting, the team needs your shooting." Qin Yang thought for a while and said to Mo Williams.

Mo Williams froze for a moment and nodded.

As the playoffs progressed, the team status of Mo Williams and Delonte West plummeted, and the possession of the ball continued to decrease. When Qin Yang said this, Mo Williams was taken aback.

Coach Brown explained on the tactical board that he was talking about the defensive end. As for the offensive end, he could only look at James and Qin Yang.

The game starts soon.

Mo Williams enters.

For the first ball, Qin Yang slowly dribbled the ball across half court, Mo Williams picked and rolled, Qin Yang broke through, and Qin Yang did not make another shot at the mid-range position.

Dribble toward the baseline position, Pau Gasol quickly help defend.

Pau Gasol's wingspan and height are excellent, and his speed is very fast in the interior. Qin Yang has no chance to end the attack at all, but after Qin Yang attracts the defense, he directly passes back to Mo Williams.

Mo Williams received the ball and broke through, and made a jumper with an emergency stop.

Luke Walton followed, but the defense was ineffective.

Mo Williams' pull-up jump shot is a must in the league, and he has a very good sense of rhythm. At critical moments, Qin Yang can only choose to trust his teammates.

Mo Williams made a steady hit, and Qin Yang let out a sigh of relief.

It's not that Qin Yang didn't want to take shots when faced with a targeted defense, it's just that Qin Yang took more shots at this time, which would only lead the Cavaliers to a disastrous defeat.

Qin Yang's mid-range shooting percentage is very average, not as good as three-pointers.

The Lakers just saw this and were not in a hurry.

The Lakers attacked, Pau Gasol made a high shot, and the basketball finally bounced out of the basket, but Bynum grabbed the rebound and hit a hook directly.

Shark's offensive skills are actually better than Howard's.

In this regard, training the Sharks is also a good choice for the Lakers.

The Cavaliers attacked. This time, Qin Yang still passed the ball to Mo Williams. Mo Williams met the defense and passed it to James. James attacked with the ball and passed it to Qin Yang who was running outside.

Qin Yang made a three-pointer and hit the iron.

In this game, Qin Yang made very few three-pointers. This time Ariza's defense was also crisp and neat. He did not defend Qin Yang's breakthrough and defended three-pointers alone.

Qin Yang can try two-pointers, but the effect is not necessarily better than three-pointers.

Odom grabs the rebound and the Lakers attack.

Pau Gasol held the ball high and passed it to Odom. After Odom broke through, he passed it to Luke Walton. Luke Walton hit the iron and Ben Wallace grabbed the rebound.

Unlike what fans imagined, in NBA games, there is rarely a situation where the score is opened by a wave.

After each score, possession of the ball is transferred to the other team.

For many teams, when encountering a wave of scoring by their opponents, the team will slow down the pace and improve the success rate. Although the Lakers encountered a scoring shortage, they were not in a hurry.

Looking back, Pau Gasol broke through with the ball, turned around and hit a jumper.

Pau Gasol's matchup advantage is too obvious. Whether it is low-post singles, high-post support, or mid-to-long-range shooting, it is difficult for the Cavaliers to defend.

Varejao can also be regarded as a very cost-effective insider, but he was bullied miserably when he encountered Pau Gasol.

Pau Gasol's versatility has given the Lakers many tactical changes.This is beyond the reach of other players.

The Lakers' triangle offense is not very powerful after all.

It is to rely on the personal ability of the players to score matchup advantages. If it is really so monotonous to fight back and forth, the Lakers will not have a big advantage.

But Pau Gasol's ability to play inside and outside has greatly enriched the Lakers' tactics.

This tactic makes the Lakers more difficult to defend.

At this time, if the Cavaliers have a super center like Howard inside, it will be much easier to play, but now, the Cavaliers will be very helpless.

Whether it was Qin Yang looking for a chance to shoot a three-pointer, his touch recovered a bit, and he made 4 of 2 three-pointers, or James attacked the basket one after another, violently broke out, and made 6 of 4, the Cavaliers were still behind.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 14 points.

When Kobe played in the fourth quarter, the game became even more difficult.

Qin Yang kept provoking Kobe at the beginning of the fourth quarter, trying to let Kobe play singles, but Kobe ignored Qin Yang at all and handed the ball to Pau Gasol and Odom.

Both are good at passing the ball, and the Lakers' tactics quickly opened up.

Kobe even made Qin Yang foul twice, making Qin Yang feel ashamed.

Combining offense without the ball and with the ball, Kobe's threat increased greatly, and Qin Yang was helpless in defense.

In other words, the Lakers' three-high lineup suppressed the situation throughout the game. No matter how the Cavaliers played, they were firmly suppressed. The Cavaliers seemed to have several opportunities to tie the score, but it was useless.

Helpless, powerless... This is the most hurtful thing.

With 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Qin Yang and James were replaced, and the third game of the finals ended.

The Cavaliers lost the game 98-108.

In an interview after the game, James kept a low profile.

James: "The game has not been in our rhythm. We will find the reason, overcome difficulties, and play the best game."

"I didn't play well in this game, which had a great impact on the team, especially I didn't do enough to hit the basket. I am very responsible for the team's loss."

James was as strong as ever and did not blame his teammates.

In fact, when it comes to critical moments, James will always pass the ball, but he seldom throws the blame afterwards. Whether he scores or not, James will take the initiative to take responsibility.

This is James' greatest strength.
