Chapter 720 Key Person, Shooting Player
In terms of pretentiousness, Qin Yang is not targeting anyone.
The Cavaliers really can't compare.
No matter how the big three of the Cavaliers beep, Qin Yang's attitude is very clear, I hope you can be stronger, so that you can challenge me, the game will be meaningful, and the championship will be interesting.
The implication is that if you don't work hard, you will be easily swept away by us again.
As soon as the words came out, the Cavaliers panicked.
When JR Smith was interviewed, his tone was very bad: "Bruce should learn how to respect his opponent. If he can't respect his opponent, then he won't be respected by his opponent."
Many media and experts also criticized Qin Yang for not being humble.
"Bruce is different from the Chinese. He lacks the quality of humility. Even before the finals, he never forgets to ridicule his opponents. It is precisely this that proves that the Mavericks are not as strong as imagined."
"Bruce needs to learn how to respect his opponent, otherwise, even if he wins the game, he will not be able to win the respect of other players."
……
Most of the media didn't have a good attitude towards Qin Yang.
This is America.
Fairness is relative and needs to be fought for.
It is not surprising that international superstars and American superstars are judged in two dimensions.
When Qin Yang was interviewed by the media, he was shocked:
"I don't know where many people are accusing me? Did I say something wrong? Wouldn't it be better to have a better game? Didn't we sweep the Cavaliers last season? I don't think there is any problem with my speech. I'm just talking about the facts. I hope this year's finals will be different."
In the finals last year, Qin Yang led his team to sweep the thriving Cavaliers 4-0.
The Big Three of the Cavaliers had just been established, claiming to be able to win the championship by playing casually, and then they were hanged by the Mavericks. The reason given by the media was that the Big Three didn't work well.
Well, no problem.
It's been two years now and the problem doesn't happen anymore.
But in terms of the team's internal tactical recall, the Mavericks' coaching staff's tactics are much simpler than those against the Warriors before.
"The Cavaliers' tactics are relatively simple and rough. If they defend Kelly Irving well on the perimeter and defend Kevin Love and LeBron James well, the team will win [-]%. So in this round of the series, defense is the key."
Coach Carlisle set the tone first.
The goal set by the coaching staff is defense.
The Cavaliers' offense is too concentrated. As long as the Big Three are locked, others will have no chance to perform. Compared with the Warriors' tactics, the Cavaliers' tactics are too low.
But this also represents the strength of the Cavaliers to some extent.
Don't rely on any complicated tactics, as long as the Big Three play well, they can solve the battle. This is the confidence of the Cavaliers.
However, in the finals, this tactic is not easy to work.
The team's internal tactical training, the tactical status of the players has undergone tremendous changes from the last game.
The team's offense was not weak in the last game. Both Seth Curry and Casspi got a chance, but in this round of the series, the two were almost abandoned during tactical training.
That's not to say the two aren't good enough, and the team needs to.
Also abandoned was Al Jefferson.
Al Jefferson's defense speed is too slow, and he doesn't have much advantage when meeting Kevin Love, so the team dare not let him play for too long.
In the finals, PJ Tucker, James Ennis, Corey Brook and Livingston were reused.
Qin Yang and Rudy Gay became the core.
Rudy Gay focuses on defense. Facing the Cavaliers, Rudy Gay played well and directly determined the trend of the game. Therefore, in this round of the series, the focus is on Rudy Gay.
It can be seen from tactical training.
The defensive coach took out James' offensive video time and time again for Rudy Gay to watch, and made up for Rudy Gay's deficiencies in defense.
Rudy Gay feels cumbersome, but fulfilling.
Gay has gone through the life of not knowing the direction before, and now Rudy Gay is playing better and better in the Mavericks.Although the data is somewhat average, the efficiency value is amazing.
More than that, on the stage of the finals, Rudy Gay may be the most shining person.
"Rudy, for the next game, James will rely on you. As long as he can make his performance a bit more sluggish, we will definitely win the championship."
Qin Yang said to Rudy Gay confidently.
Rudy Gay nodded too, very excited.
This season, Rudy Gay averaged 13.4 points per game. The data is very ordinary, and there are hardly many performance opportunities. Most of the games, Jokic is the core. Later, after Qin Yang recovered from his injury, the team's shooting rights were also distributed to James Ennis and PJ Tucker, so Rudy Gay's shooting rights are no less than others.
From the perspective of shooting rights, Rudy Gay is an ordinary starter.
In these words, Rudy Gay's heart is different.
But in the finals, there is finally room to play.
This round of finals is destined to be exciting.
……
On June 6, the first game of the Finals, the Mavericks played away against the Cavaliers.
Before the start of the game, James will still sprinkle chalk, attracting cheers from the fans.
The game starts soon.
The Cavaliers started with James, Irving, Love, Tristan Thompson and JR Smith.
The two sides jumped the ball, Gobert successfully jumped the ball without any suspense, Qin Yang took the ball, and JR Smith defended Qin Yang.After dribbling for halftime, Qin Yang didn't rush to attack.
After his teammates settled down, Nurkic stepped forward and made a cover.
After covering, Qin Yang broke through directly.
James and Owen didn't have help defense from the outside, the distance between them was a bit far, and help defense didn't mean it was useful, Qin Yang's pass was very good.
Inside, Tristan Thompson stood in position to defend Qin Yang.
Qin Yang paused and dribbled the ball slowly. Nurkic ran past, and Qin Yang accelerated instantly.
Tristan Thompson hesitated for a moment, and Qin Yang directly accelerated for a layup.
One step slower and there is no chance.
Qin Yang scored an easy layup.
This attack seems to be very simple, but in reality, it is difficult to grasp.When Nurkic hits the basket and breaks through at the same time, he can only be affected by JR Smith behind him, and he can shoot from Tristan Thompson's defense in front.
This kind of grasp of opportunities is not something ordinary people can do.
In this regard, Qin Yang is very similar to Curry.
Many people are saying that Curry's three-pointers are not inferior to Qin Yang, but in fact, Curry's breakthrough and finishing ability at the basket are also the strongest players in the league.
After attacking to the basket, as long as there is a slight chance, Curry can grasp the shortcomings of the defensive players and score easily.
At this point, Curry's talent is very good.
If it's just a good outside shot, more than [-]% of them will become a role player instead of a superstar. Many people don't know this.
