Chapter 714 The future is uncertain, but the tactics are determined
On May 5, in the third game of the second round of the playoffs, the Mavericks played against the Thunder at home.
Leading 2-0 in the away game, back home, the Mavericks are even more victorious.
As a result, the Mavericks played more aggressively.
Five minutes into the game, the Mavericks took all outside shots and hit five three-pointers, leading the score 5-15. The Thunder called a timeout.
PJ Tucker started the game and hit two corner three-pointers. The Thunder did not dare to shrink their defense.
There is no way to shrink the defense. Qin Yang has a chance to single out or pass the ball.
Qin Yang directly opened from the outside, and after attracting the defense, he assisted Nurkic and Rudy Gay. The Mavericks played out in the first quarter.The Thunder couldn't defend at all.
Durant scored in singles with the ball again and again, as did Westbrook.
The more deadlocked, the more rigid the Thunder's tactics, always relying on Westbrook and Durant to play singles, this choice is simple.
Qin Yang didn't use much force and was replaced in the 9th minute.
In the first quarter, there is a tendency to enter garbage time.
The Mavericks home court was full of jubilation.
Fortunately, in the following time, the Mavericks hit the iron continuously, and Durant and Westbrook finally scored consecutively, helping the Thunder to close the point difference.
In the first half, the point difference was reduced to 8 points.
In the third quarter, Qin Yang played again.
At the beginning, he threw five three-pointers in a row and hit four. After a wave of three-pointers, the Thunder team called a timeout.Immediately afterwards, Durant defended Qin Yang, and Qin Yang passed the ball to his teammates to resolve the battle. Rudy Gay made a layup and assisted James Ennis to hit a mid-range shot.
The difference widened again.
In the third quarter, it was another habitual Qin Yang moment.
In the first quarter, the point difference expanded to 24 points, entering garbage time.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Qin Yang did not play.Cheer on your teammates off the court.The Mavericks won the game without bloodshed, and the Thunder did not cause too much trouble.
In the post-match press conference, Qin Yang didn't say much, but politely praised Durant and Westbrook.
Westbrook still has the body of the turtle, 31 of 10 in this game, he is really brave.Directly hitting the basket, the final result was 31 points, rebounds and 8 assists. The statistics are very impressive.
But the hit rate is too touching.
The Mavericks can win easily, thanks to Westbrook.
杜兰特则是18中10，拿到26分5篮板3助攻。
Compared with the efficiency value, Westbrook is far behind, but the Thunder still have no idea of changing, and still let Westbrook shoot so casually.
Durant didn't argue about anything.
5 month 8 number.
In the fourth game of the second round of the playoffs, the Mavericks played against the Thunder at home.
In this game, Durant was red-eyed.
Just take the ball and score in various singles. After the whole game, he made 25 of 14 and 13 of 10 free throws. He scored 41 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
Durant went crazy, but the Mavericks didn't play well.
James Ennis and PJ Tucker felt mediocre in this game. The two shot 18 of 5 shots and missed various open spots, which caused the Mavericks to be reversed in the third quarter.
At the critical moment, Qin Yang stood up again and threw a three-pointer frantically.
It was thrown until the Thunder team saw Qin Yang on the outside and had to double-team, and then... the Mavericks scored consecutive cuts, and the Thunder team was miserable.
In the whole game, Qin Yang made 29 of 15 shots, not as good as Durant, but he made 14 of 9 three-pointers, 7 of 6 free throws, and scored 45 points, 10 assists and 3 rebounds.
In terms of efficiency, Qin Yang does not lose to Durant.
The two teams played wonderfully, and finally with the help of Westbrook, the Mavericks finally won.
维斯布鲁克全场18中5，拿到14分15助攻7篮板的数据。
Especially in the last 5 minutes, Westbrook once again emptied Nurkic in order to grab a rebound, and turned back directly, and the fans watching were stunned.
In the last 3 minutes, he made two shots, a three-pointer, and a mid-range strike.
Qin Yang admires this kind of opponent who is not selfish and only benefits others.
The game was supposed to be played, but with Westbrook doing this, there is no suspense that the Mavericks will win.
At the end of the game, Qin Yang and Durant embraced. Durant drooped his face and said nothing. In the post-match interviews and press conferences, Durant was relatively silent.
Even asked the question about the new contract, Durant was left with nothing to say about it:
"I just want to enjoy the holiday, the contract will be discussed after the holiday."
Durant's contract expires this year and he has become the superstar most likely to leave in the NBA. All teams are crazy about Durant. As long as Durant is willing, any team is very welcome.
Shortly after the game ended, on the other end, the Warriors also led the Trail Blazers 3-1.
The next opponent, without any suspense, is the Warriors.
The next day, the Cavaliers defeated the Eagles away and swept their opponents 4-0.
After the game, the Mavericks will usher in a day off.
Qin Yang organized a wave of farm barbecues and called many people, including the team's coaching staff, boss, teammates and their families, as well as players who did not enter the playoffs or were eliminated.
Including Kevin Durant and others participated.
It was a rare time to relax, not to mention playing ball, everyone had a good time playing.
Next, the Mavericks conducted tactical drills again. Unlike the previous game against the Thunder, the next game against the Warriors will require a big change in defense.
Curry and Clay are superstars who are very good at shooting, especially both of them are good at off the ball, and they have a high percentage of catches and shots after running.
In this case, the defense must be targeted.
In addition to changing defenses in time, the biggest point is to always pay attention to steals.
Playing too much off the ball, passing and cutting too much, the biggest problem is that it is easy to make mistakes.No matter how tacitly they cooperate, they always have to pass the ball. If there are too many passes, it is easy to make mistakes.
Therefore, as long as the interference shots are in place and the steals are timely, the Warriors are not difficult to play.
The defensive end is done well, and the offensive end is not difficult.
The Warriors have a problem with their defense. Barnes and Klay Thompson are the best perimeter defenders, while Barnes' defense is relatively average, and Klay Thompson spends energy on the offensive end.
Inside, although Draymond Green has excellent defense, it is really difficult to play against Al Jefferson and Nurkic.
Because Green is good at defending five positions, in terms of center defense, Green is relatively the worst.
The tactical drill of the Mavericks is to find the shortcomings of the opponent's offense and find the loopholes in the opponent's defense. In this regard, it is difficult for the Warriors to cover up.
