Chapter 143 One person's three-point rain
Chapter 143 A Three-Point Rain Alone
The first quarter is over.
The atmosphere of the Cavaliers is extremely dignified.
James was out of breath. In the first quarter of this game, Ariza was tough on James, and his defense was terrible. Ariza would definitely not be able to maintain this kind of defense for two quarters.
But... Ariza is just a role player, and more than one quarter of defense is enough. The Lakers will definitely make substitutions in the second quarter, which is not a problem for the Lakers.
But for the Cavaliers, this is a pit.
James had no choice but to play hard. Mo Williams and Delonte West played poorly, and Big Z made 2 of 0 shots and made people speechless.
This game is very difficult to play.
Soon, the second quarter begins.
Qin Yang came on, Mo Williams went off, Big Z went off, and Ben Wallace came on.
This substitution can roughly show the Cavaliers' next tactics. After the big Z is off the court, James can't play high pick-and-rolls. In the next game, Qin Yang must increase his shots.
Qin Yang knew exactly what he was going to do as soon as he came on stage.
The Cavaliers attack.
For the first ball, Qin Yang slowly dribbled the ball across the half court, switching hands and dribbling, looking for the touch.No matter how far one step beyond the three-point line at halftime, Kobe has already followed Qin Yang closely and did not give him a chance.
Kobe didn't want to let Qin Yang go, but in this kind of game, defending Qin Yang is a must.
Especially Qin Yang's provocation before the game, Kobe's obsession could not be stopped.
Kobe defended, but Qin Yang didn't seem to see it.
Quickly slapping the ball, Qin Yang bent down, and when LeBron came to cover, Qin Yang directly stepped to the right, and then shot directly.
Ariza stepped forward to defend, one step too late.
A player with a strong three-pointer attack is the most helpless. Unless Ariza is prepared for this kind of shot, there is nothing he can do.
Before the game, Ke said in the locker room that he wanted to lock Qin Yang on both ends of the offense and defense, and the others did not dare to take the initiative to defend.
A three-pointer was scored.
Qin Yang returned to defense as if nothing had happened, and didn't pay any attention to Kobe's livid face.
The Lakers attacked, and after Kobe held the ball for halftime, he was blocked and asked to face Qin Yang in three threatening steps.Qin Yang is very familiar with this routine, so he took half a step to defend against the air and was not affected.
Bryant's two shoulder shakes in a row didn't help.
In the last game, Kobe attacked like this and succeeded in breaking through several times, which made Qin Yang very depressed.
In the virtual training space after the game, Qin Yang and Kobe faced each other many times, one-on-one again and again. In terms of absolute strength, Qin Yang was inferior to Kobe, but Qin Yang still had a knack for defending Kobe.
Kobe Bryant failed to break through and played directly with his back singles. After leaning twice, he turned around and shot a jumper.
Kobe's post-ups, the rhythm is very good, and it looks picturesque.
Qin Yang was prepared for this, and jumped up at the most suitable time to interfere with Kobe's shooting.
But at the next moment, Kobe's abdomen exerted force, he was stuck in the air, his back was increased, and he succeeded in a back jumper.
Whoosh!
Basketball near the hoop.
Kobe smiled smugly, looking at the arrogance on Qin Yang's face.
Qin Yang was expressionless, as if he hadn't seen this scene, and dribbled the ball across the half court after receiving the ball.
Qin Yang holds the ball, James continues to screen, Qin Yang breaks through and attracts the defense, passes it to James, James breaks through, Qin Yang and Delonte West come to an off-ball screen.
Kobe didn't follow up at this time, and James passed the ball directly.
Qin Yang made an open shot from outside the three-point line.
Whoosh!
Hit again.
In the past few seasons, Kobe's defensive enthusiasm has been greatly reduced. When encountering screens and pick-and-rolls, he always asks his teammates to defend, and the follow-up defense is not in place.
This is a strategy that Qin Yang has discovered many times.
To single-handedly play against Kobe with the ball, against such a stubborn superstar, Qin Yang must have a lot of brains to do it.
Kobe's defense is very strong and powerful. If Qin Yang really wants to fight one-on-one, he will die a miserable death, but the winner or loser of the matchup cannot be said clearly by a simple one-on-one fight.
An off-ball screen, catch and release.
Qin Yang made a light three-pointer.
Consuming the best physical strength and giving up most of the ball, the Cavaliers also narrowed the point difference.
The Lakers attacked, and Fisher did not give it to Kobe this time, but to Odom. Odom held the ball, failed to break through, and passed the ball to Kobe.
Kobe holds the ball and does it.
Qin Yang was not in the slightest, and was still defending steadily.
This time Kobe turned his back and broke through, laying up and pulling the bar directly.
Qin Yang had already prepared for this, defended in a timely manner, and successfully interfered.
Varejao got stuck, dialed the basketball out, and James grabbed the rebound.
Kobe sprayed a few words in a low voice, but Qin Yang ignored it.
James passed the ball to Qin Yang, and Qin Yang made a fast break with the ball.
Well, for a one-man fast break, Odom and Gasol are in place very quickly, while Varejao and Ben Wallace's speed is average. This is logically speaking a tactical coordination.
But after halftime, Qin Yang was not polite at all.
Two meters away from the three-point line, Qin Yang shot directly.
Kobe was taken aback, and when he turned around, he saw a three-pointer.
Qin Yang returned the visit with a blank expression.
The three-pointer feels up.
Qin Yang obviously felt this way, and his teammates felt it too.
The Lakers attacked, Odom hit the iron, Bynum got two free throws after grabbing the rebound, 2 of 1, and the Cavaliers continued to attack.
This time Delonte West directly screened and Qin Yang singled out Fisher.
Lao Yu's speed was too slow, and his height was average. Qin Yang was not in the slightest. He dribbled the ball and raised it. Lao Yu stretched out his hand pretendingly, without any interference at all.
Whoosh!
A three-pointer was scored.
The Cavaliers led by 1 points.
This is the first time the Cavaliers have led in the series finals.
The Cavaliers are high-spirited, and the Lakers are starting to worry.
KFC grandfather Phil Jackson is still sitting on the coach bench chewing gum, motionless, like an old monk in Buddhism.
The Lakers themselves made adjustments on the court.
The most obvious thing is that Kobe asked for a place again, and Fisher, the old fish, didn't seem to see it, and passed it directly to Pau Gasol.Pau Gasol singled Varejao with the ball, but Varejao jumped up to interfere with his mid-range shot.
After hitting the iron in the mid-range shot, Ben Wallace grabbed a defensive rebound.
The Cavaliers attacked again.
This time, Kobe followed Qin Yang closely, not giving him a chance at all.
James attacked with the ball and stormed the basket.
Bynum defended very well at the basket and didn't give James any chance. James had no choice but to pass to Varejao in the middle distance. Facing Pau Gasol's defense, Varejao had no choice but to pass to Qin Yang in the bottom corner.
Qin Yang received the ball and made a direct three-pointer.
Whoosh!
The three-pointer hit again.
Four consecutive three-pointers, one person's three-pointer rain.
Kobe didn't follow anyone this time, but stood next to Delonte West, ignoring Qin Yang in the bottom corner.The closest to Qin Yang is the old fish Fisher.
Lao Yu took the blame again and was yelled at by Kobe.
