Chapter 123 Instant Advantage
The competition between the two sides was fierce.
Unlike the Pistons game, in the first game between the Cavaliers and the Magic, both sides were very oppressive, but the actions were not large, and there were very few intentional fouls.
In the past two quarters, each team only made about 6 free throws, and the overall game was played very smoothly.
This is related to the scale of the referee and the tactical characteristics of both sides.
In other words, both sides feel that such a game scale is beneficial to them. As a shooting-based team, both sides can accept this game rhythm.
As long as a wave of touch is felt and the shots are endless, the score can be opened.
The Cavaliers' offense has only a 2-point lead, which is very unsafe.
At the critical moment, James attacked the basket and passed it to Deronte West, who was almost open on the outside, and Delonte West hit the iron with a three-pointer.
Gortat gets the rebound.
Qin Yang glanced at James and Delonte West, and had nothing to say.
West's touch in this game was very bad. If that's the case, why did he have to pass the ball to West? If it was Qin Yang, he would reduce the pass to West and shoot patiently.
The Magic attack.
At the critical moment, it depends on Rashard Lewis. Rashard Lewis leaned against Varejao in the middle distance, turned around steadily and made a hit, without any courtesy at all.
In this game, Rashad Lewis had a very good touch, and he felt like he was about to score as soon as he made a shot.
If Qin Yang is the point guard of the Magic, he will give Rashard Lewis more opportunities to make shots.
The Cavaliers attack.
The two sides equalized the score.
This goal is crucial. At the critical moment, if the Cavaliers can't stabilize their lead, it will be bad.
James attacked with the ball, and Big Z covered in a high position. At the critical moment, James passed to Big Z, Big Z hit the iron under the defense of Gortat, and Howard got the rebound.
The goal was missed, but tactically, there was nothing wrong with it.
Big Z has an advantage in matchups and has a high shooting percentage, but the pass of the ball is a little slow. Gortat's defense is already in place, and Big Z doesn't have a good shot.
The Magic attack.
The Cavaliers lost the initiative.
Kottglu is still using the pick-and-roll breakthrough, this time Turkoglu went directly to the basket for a layup, Varejao tried his best to help prevent fouls.
Turkoglu made 2 of 2 free throws.
The Magic led by 2 points.
The Cavaliers attack.
There was still plenty of time, and Qin Yang was not prepared for the final desperate fight. After halftime, Qin Yang directly passed the ball to James, and then moved by himself.
James attacked with the ball and passed it to the running Qin Yang under the basket.
Qin Yang took the ball and leaned against Turkoglu, who was close to defending, and then directly accelerated and made an emergency stop.
Whoosh!
Qin Yang, who cheated his teammates for two quarters, hit this mid-range shot.
Feel back.
Qin Yang waved his hand, a flash of fire flashed in his heart.
The Magic attack.
At this time, the pressure returned to the Magic. Alstom shot after breaking through Mo Williams. Alston's shot selection was problematic.
At this time, going directly to the basket to score is the best choice.
But Alstom shot directly.
Fortunately, Howard directly provoked the basket and dialed the basketball in.
The Cavaliers attacked, and James used the cover of the big Z to make a direct shot.
The two sides drew again.
The Magic's offense, at the critical moment, is still Rashard Lewis, who made a steady catch and shot.
The Cavaliers attacked. This time, Mo Williams still hit the iron. Big Z was strong enough to rebound and shot. When he encountered Gortat's defense, he hit the iron again.
Rashard Lewis gets the rebound and the Magic attack.
Fortunately, this time Pietrus hit the iron, and after Turkoglu got the rebound, Qin Yang directly provoked the defense and fouled.Turkoglu made 2 of 2 free throws.
The Magic led by 4 points.
The Cavaliers attacked, Qin Yang didn't play as steadily as before this time, but directly made an emergency stop and breakthrough.
Turkoglu was caught off guard.
After breaking through, Qin Yang didn't rush, but instead moved to the right, came out of the three-point line and directly shot a three-pointer.
Turkoglu was blinded by the beating.
First, Turkoglu didn't follow the good guys, and then when he quickly retreated to defend, he met Qin Yang and went directly outside the three-point line to shoot. At this time, Turkoglu was two steps away from Qin Yang.
The distance is too great.
Whoosh!
Qin Yang hit a three-pointer.
The Cavaliers trailed by 1 points.
The Magic attacked, and Alston directly held the ball to break through. Alstom's defense was so-so, and his shooting was not stable, but the breakthrough was really sharp.
Alston, who is not very fast and not very strong, has a very good breakthrough rhythm, and the combination of man and ball is very good. A crossover is not fast, but it easily breaks through Mo Williams.
This is quite embarrassing.
After Alston broke through, he did not rush to attack directly, but passed the ball after attracting the defense.
This is a professional game, not street basketball. If Alstom chooses to enter the NBA to make money, he must abide by many rules of the NBA.
Alston held the ball and passed it to Rashard Lewis tactically.
Qin Yang was already prepared at this time, and rushed out to steal the basketball.
The Cavaliers attacked, Qin Yang directly dribbled the ball quickly, and most of the Magic didn't react.
At the halftime position, Alston was pestering Qin Yang and did not give Qin Yang a chance to break through easily. The Magic's strategy was very simple, preventing the Cavaliers from playing fast breaks.
In fact, at this time, the teammates of the Cavaliers were not fast and did not keep up.
According to common sense, Qin Yang should wait for his teammates to settle down and play slowly.
But in the face of Alston's defense, Qin Yang directly provoked and shot a step away from the three-point line. Alston jumped up, but there was nothing he could do.
Whoosh!
A three-pointer was scored.
Qin Yang clenched his fists and roared angrily.
The Cavaliers led by 2 points.
"three points!"
"Bruce Qin—"
The court at the Quicken Loans Center remembered the cheers, and the DJ on the scene drove the atmosphere, cheering for the goals of their own players.
The two sides had been deadlocked for 8 or [-] minutes, but they were separated in just a dozen seconds. Qin Yang announced his arrival with two three-pointers.
The three-pointer is the easiest weapon to catch up with the score and make up for the difference at the critical moment.
The Magic attacked and Rashad Lewis hit a mid-range shot again.
In this quarter of the game, Rashard Lewis shot 4 percent, 4 of [-].
For this ball, if the Magic hit the iron again, the game will be in a different situation. The score behind the Magic will expand to a very dangerous level, and emotions will be contagious.
That's great news for the Cavaliers.
Unfortunately, Rashad Lewis hit again at the critical moment.
The impact of a goal is actually not great, but if it is at a critical moment, this goal will determine the momentum and win or lose of both sides.
After this goal was scored, the Magic stabilized and did not panic.
The Cavaliers attacked, Mo Williams finally hit a ball, the Magic team attacked, Howard was strong enough to rebound, this time before the Cavaliers fouled, Turkoglu organized the offense with the dribble.
Turkoglu passed to Cunett Lee, Cunett Lee passed to Alstom, and Alston passed to Turkoglu for a layup.
Varejao assisted in the foul and Turkoglu made a free throw.
Turkoglu's free throw percentage was close to [-]%, and the Magic played very steadily on this one.
It is very stable, and it is difficult to widen the difference.
Looking back, Qin Yang used the pick-and-roll to single-handedly hit Cunett Lee, and made a steady three-point shot. The 20cm height difference gave Qin Yang a good shot.
The three-pointer hit again.
The scores of the two sides are still increasing alternately, and the point difference is hovering around 3 points.
The third quarter ends.
