Chapter 710 Weird whistle, the weakest
On May 5, the second game of the playoffs began, and the Mavericks played away against the Thunder.
Compared with the previous game, the Thunder team was much more stable in this game.Westbrook was sullen during the warm-up training before the game, looking like he saw people killing people and gods killing gods.
Of course, what is even more incredible is that from the beginning of the game, the rhythm was a bit awkward.
Ibaka successfully jumped the ball, Westbrook hit a ball, Durant stepped forward to make a screen, Qin Yang switched defenses in time, and on the first ball, Qin Yang misplaced to defend Westbrook.
When Wei Shao faced Qin Yang, he faltered at first, but Qin Yang didn't move.
Westbrook got down directly, changed direction and accelerated the breakthrough.
Qin Yang's speed is also very fast, the prediction was successful, and he followed closely after retreating. Westbrook looked at Qin Yang and wanted to force a layup.
Westbrook threw the ball at the basket, and he fought to the end.
The basketball bumped and popped out of the basket, Nurkic was in the way, Qin Yang easily got the rebound, just as Qin Yang was about to make a long pass for a fast break, the whistle sounded.
Qin Yang fouled.
Hold the grass!
Immediately, Qin Yang was stunned. How could this be a foul? Qin Yang's defensive action was very hasty. This ball Qin Yang put pressure on Westbrook with his body and did not hit his arm at all. It was not a foul at all.
Qin Yang appealed to the referee, but the referee ignored Qin Yang at all.
Westbrook made 2 of 2 free throws.
This ball is a bit suffocated.
The Mavericks attacked, Nurkic set a screen, Qin Yang broke through directly, and Ibaka assisted in the defense under the basket, Qin Yang directly raised the ball with both hands, and shot after staying in the air.
Snapped!
Ibaka's arm hit Qin Yang's arm loudly, and the basketball bumped and scored.
The referee blows his whistle and then checks the video.
This……!
Qin Yang stood there without saying a word.
Do I still need to watch the video?The whistle should have been blown immediately, instead of hesitating. The referee of this game was a little uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
The game continues.
The situation was the same as Qin Yang thought. In the first quarter, Qin Yang got three fouls, two on Westbrook and one on Durant.
In the 9th minute, the Mavericks called a timeout and Qin Yang was replaced.
When it was time to end, Qin Yang was expressionless.
The whistle was blown too much, and the three fouls were debatable. Westbrook's two fouls were completely body hair-level penalties. Durant's arm swing, according to the new regulations, this intentional foul is no longer classified as a foul, but the referee still blew the whistle, and it was a vowed whistle.
From the very beginning, the game had a weird rhythm.
But the referee is smart, after blowing here, he will give an irrelevant balance call on the other side. In this way, the fouls and free throws of the two teams are similar.
But in fact, the rhythm of the Mavericks is completely out of order.
This is hard.
At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied, and the Mavericks did not lead.
In the second quarter, Qin Yang didn't play either.
Seth Curry played and started an offensive battle. Westbrook played very well against Seth Curry. Seth Curry's defense was relatively poor, and it was normal for Westbrook to be pierced against a powerful point guard.
The two teams began to fight fiercely.
Qin Yang sat quietly off the court.
It is unscientific to play at this time, because as long as you are on the field, if you are off the field by the sixth foul, you can't play at the critical moment of the fourth quarter. This is cheating your teammates.
Qin Yang resisted and did not apply to appear.
The advantage of the Mavericks at this time is reflected, and the whole team can fight.
The weakest member of the team is Thackeray. Well, he is waving a towel on the sidelines and cheering for his teammates. That situation is definitely the most tiring person in the team.
Seth Curry flew up, and Nowitzki also stabilized the situation. At the end of the second quarter, the Mavericks fell behind by 3 points.
It was the first time the Thunder took the lead.
But the Mavericks are not panicking.
As soon as the third quarter came out, the Mavericks played a wave of offensive frenzy.Casspi, Rudy Gay and PJ Tucker teamed up and hit four consecutive three-pointers and two steals, directly opening up the point difference.
The Thunder called a timeout.
Back from the timeout, Kevin Durant started a single.
This time, Adams covered, Durant misplaced and singled other people, and no longer singled Rudy Gay. Rudy Gay suffered a bit in singles, and his efficiency value was relatively low.
After changing to someone else, Durant's efficiency value suddenly increased.
With the help of Westbrook and Adams, the Thunder slowly recovered the point difference in the third quarter. In the last few minutes of the third quarter, the scores of the two teams increased alternately, and there was no winner.
In this way, when the whistle sounded in the third quarter, Durant missed a three-pointer, and the two teams tied again.
A tie in three quarters is good news for the Thunder.
However... Qin Yang was even more excited.
During the break, Qin Yang confidently said to his teammates: "Finally, there is a time for me to play in the fourth quarter. This time, everyone, don't fight me. I will blow them up."
Among the superstars this year, Qin Yang ranked last in scoring in the fourth quarter.
Because...Qin Yang's playing time in the fourth quarter was too short. Most of the time, he clocked in three quarters and got off work. Entering the fourth quarter, he only had to stabilize his rhythm for a while, so he didn't need to rush to score.
Therefore, Qin Yang's score in the fourth quarter was one of the lowest.
This is very embarrassing. Among the various statistics in the NBA, there is one item that has received widespread attention, and that is the super fourth quarter, especially the scoring data in the last 5 minutes or so.
This data, to a certain extent, shows the dominance of superstars at critical moments.
Every time this issue was mentioned, the media and experts laughed and said nothing. Although they didn't say that Qin Yang was poor at critical moments, they didn't have anything good to say.
This problem is almost Qin Yang's biggest black spot besides dunking.
The teammates all knew about this situation and laughed out loud when they heard Qin Yang's words.
Rudy Gay even patted Qin Yang on the shoulder and said, "Bruce, I'll do my best to defend and cover for you. If you can shoot, you can shoot more!"
Others are about the same.
The atmosphere suddenly became simpler.
The game continues.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Thunder team attacked, Kevin Durant held the ball in singles, made a forced breakthrough again, and made a forced hit against the basket.
This ball is very beautiful.
Few people in the NBA can achieve this kind of difficult goal, especially when a high shooting rate is guaranteed. James is one, and Kevin Durant is one.
The Mavericks attack.
Qin Yang's offensive style is completely different from Durant's.
After halftime, Qin Yang shot a three-pointer directly. Dion Waiters was defending Qin Yang, and he didn't react to this shot choice at all.
Whoosh!
A three-pointer that is as far as one step beyond the three-point line is easily hit.
The Thunder were booed at home.
Qin Yang retreated expressionlessly.
The goal was not beautiful, and even the defensive players didn't defend well, but it doesn't matter. The game is not won by whoever scores the goal is difficult. Qin Yang has never deliberately pursued the difficulty of scoring, otherwise he is sick, and any superstar will not do it.
As soon as Qin Yang came out, the rhythm changed.
