Chapter 705 The final arrogance, the opponent's suggestion
Qin Yang:
"This is an ordinary playoff game, nothing special. The Spurs are a traditional strong team, but I have to say that with Tony Parker leaving, Tim Duncan and Ginobili getting old, the Spurs should consider rebuilding, and this round of the series will prove it all."
Qin Yang's attitude was somewhat arrogant.
It is arrogant.
What the Spurs are best at is slow tempo, grinding and grinding their teammates to death. Playing against this kind of team, no matter how low-key it is, it's not a thing.
And this season may be the only season in which Qin Yang can be arrogant in the next few years.
Don't be arrogant, there is no chance.
That's why Qin Yang was so arrogant.
What Qin Yang said made Duncan and Ginobili very speechless. The three of them were very familiar, very familiar, even more familiar than chicken wings, but it was precisely because of their familiarity that they didn't know what to say.
What Qin Yang said was the truth.
Even Popovich dodged it and said nothing.
Only Leonard was confident when he was interviewed:
"Bruce is the best superstar in the league, but in this game I will match up and let him understand that San Antonio is not an easy place to win."
Of course, after saying this, he was slapped in the face.
At the beginning of the game, Qin Yang used Nurkic's cover to directly shoot a three-pointer and hit it steadily.
Nurkic's pick-and-roll screen is very thick, and he is also good at doing this kind of work. Later this season, the combination of Nurkic and Qin Yang is very powerful.
On the first ball, Ginobili was slower to defend.
The Spurs attacked. After Duncan covered, Ginobili made a layup and was directly capped by Gobert. Ginobili's European team was too coquettish and had already broken through to the basket.
Qin Yang received the pass and turned around to pick and roll again.
This time, Duncan and Leonard double-teamed one front and one side. Qin Yang hit the ground directly and passed the ball between Duncan's legs. Nurkic caught the ball and scored an easy dunk.
wear block!
It's a playful pass.
If he was young, Duncan would be angry, defend hard, and even hit back with the iconic 45-degree hit, but now after halftime, he is still attacking slowly.
Leonard played a mid-range post-up single and turned around for a jumper.
It is still a very unsolvable shot.
Leonard's last step jumped out one meter away. This distance plus the retreat step made it impossible to defend.The whole action is also very chic.
Whoosh!
The ball goes in.
But the Mavs didn't care at all.
Leonard's shot is brilliant, hard to defend, beautiful...but useless.Shooting is as simple as possible, because it is about easy to hit.
Such a shot has an extremely low hit rate and is not applicable.
With this skill, it is better to practice more three-pointers.
The Mavericks began to attack wildly from the beginning. Qin Yang played very well as the core, Dante Green couldn't hold back, Leonard was evaded by the screen, and Qin Yang passed the ball very well.
Outside Rudy Gay can be used as a second point of attack.
Nurkic's offense on the inside is also above the level, and James Ennis on the outside is an excellent 3D player.
Starting the first quarter, the Mavericks led by 9 points.
No surprises, no suspense.
At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs were exhausted when they got off the court. They had worked hard and played tactics, but they fell behind.
This is where the Spurs are most helpless.
The Mavericks have no obvious weaknesses, one fast and one slow inside, and the defense is very good.
The three outsiders are excellent offensive and defensive.
There are no shortcomings in offense, and there are no shortcomings in defense.
This game can't be played.
Duncan and Ginobili didn't say a word. Leonard encouraged his teammates, but no one responded.
In the second quarter, Qin Yang continued to play.
Beat the dog in the water hard, first fight out the advantage and then talk.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks changed their lineup, and Seth Curry replaced Nurkic.
That's right, in this way, Gobert leads four children.
Fortunately, Rudy Gay can also play power forward, and Qin Yang is tall enough to make up for his shortcomings. This lineup has a strong offense, fast speed, and very accurate shooting.
In the 8th minute of the second quarter, the point difference was 21 points.
The Spurs called a timeout and Qin Yang was replaced.
……
At halftime, the score difference was 18 points.
But it doesn't matter, because the Spurs' spirits have been beaten down.
Even the commentary feels boring:
"This is not a normal game. San Antonio is playing poorly on their own home court. It seems that they can't play. The wonderful tactical cooperation, relentless offense and defense have completely disappeared."
"Yes, this is not the San Antonio Spurs we are familiar with. Coach Popovich also made too many adjustments, just changed the lineup."
I can't understand the explanation either.
The Spurs seem to be weak, and it makes people feel that the Spurs in the regular season this season are better than they are now.
In the third quarter, Qin Yang didn't play until the beginning of the fourth quarter, when Qin Yang played for 5 minutes and left again.
In the whole game, Qin Yang played 24 minutes and scored 21 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, leading the team to victory.
The Spurs were almost swept away, and they were not opponents at all.
Post-match interview.
Duncan and Ginobili were extremely silent and didn't say anything.Now the two don't want to talk anymore.
Coach Popovich blocked all the responsibility himself: "The Mavericks are much stronger than we thought. Bruce Chin was at the peak of his career. He was unstoppable. We were careless and did not prepare well before the game. As a result, this game was targeted and kept falling behind. I bear the main responsibility."
Leonard expressed his dissatisfaction with the team in an interview:
"We should play more aggressively and aggressively instead of muddling along. This is not the Spurs I remember!"
Even more depressing is LaMarcus Aldridge.
Adelaide scored 24 points and 12 rebounds in this game, which is very beautiful, but he became a backer after his death.
TNT news:
"In the first game of the playoffs, the match between the Mavericks and the Spurs was not as intense as expected. The Mavericks were leading the game. Aldridge has not yet integrated into the Spurs. Apart from turning around and shooting, Aldridge can't do more. He should try to integrate with the Spurs."
The media and pundits have criticized LaMarcus Aldridge.
This made LaMarcus feel uncomfortable.
After the game, Lamarcus called Qin Yang to complain, leaving Qin Yang speechless.
"Dude, we are rivals now, and we will meet soon, you actually asked me this question!" Qin Yang felt that this world was really strange.
But Qin Yang was not worried about the Spurs, and still put forward his own suggestion.
"Ade, after you entered San Antonio, you should know how inconsistent your position is with the Spurs. Popovich wants to turn you into the next Duncan and work hard on defense and support. But obviously your characteristics are very different, so I suggest you have a good chat with coach Popovich."
