Chapter 683 Key Suppression, Determining Advantage
With Kevin Love off the floor, the Mavericks' offense suffered.
But in Qin Yang's heart, he let out a sigh of relief instead.
In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, the point difference did not change.After Kevin Love left the court, Qin Yang hit a three-pointer, and the Cavaliers did not open the score.
But from the scene, the Mavericks' offense was contained.
The inside line composed of Mozgov and Tristan Thompson is undoubtedly stronger in assisting defense.
During the break, Coach Carlisle seized the time to arrange tactics.
Kevin Love is off the field, which is the long-awaited result of the Mavericks.
Next, whether the Mavericks can win depends on how their teammates play.If the tactical cooperation is played out, it is not impossible for the third quarter to enter garbage time.
In the second quarter, Qin Yang did not end.
James didn't end up either.
But the Mavericks made a substitution. Qin Yang, Casspi, and Seth Curry partnered on the outside, and Marion and Gobert on the inside.
The Cavaliers replaced James Jones with JR Smith. Jones was just a false starter. JR's strength was obviously stronger. During the bench time, James and JR led the team first.
The Cavaliers attack.
James broke through again, and it was Qin Yang who defended James. This is the difference between the Mavericks and other teams. Qin Yang is the point guard. Logically speaking, defending James is not Qin Yang's task, let alone a misplacement. Qin Yang is the core and boss of the team. There are 1 reasons to give up this task.
But Qin Yang still volunteered to accept it.
James was very cruel, he hit directly, carrying Qin Yang on his back for a layup, like a majestic gorilla, Qin Yang barely resisted, and when he was under the basket, he was squeezed away by James and forced a layup.
But Gobert held up high at the basket, and blocked James' layup.
Qin Yang was one step ahead and got the rebound directly.
After getting the rebound, Qin Yang passed the ball directly, Casspi took the ball, quickly crossed the half court, and then passed it to Seth Curry, who was outside the three-point line and shot directly.
The Cavaliers defense is not in place.
From when Qin Yang got the ball to when Seth Curry made a shot, it took just over two seconds. This time was too short, and it was difficult for the Cavaliers to form an effective defense.
But relatively, the Mavericks' offense is also a bit hasty.
Whoosh!
The basketball goes into the net and Seth Curry makes a hit.
The Cavaliers attacked again, James had a stern face, bitter and bitter, and the last ball was blocked so embarrassingly.With this ball, James made a layup and passed the ball to JR Smith.
JR Smith faced Seth Curry's defense and jumped directly.
Whoosh!
JR Smith also hit a three-pointer.
The Cavaliers are in full swing.
James and JR were still clapping together. After Qin Yang got the ball, he passed the ball directly. Seth Curry caught the ball in the corner and hit a three-pointer directly.
Cavaliers coach David Blatt yelled at the defense from the sidelines.
The Cavaliers attacked, and James attacked again. This time James stopped at the mid-range position, squeezed Qin Yang away, and made a direct mid-range shot.
Qin Yang struggled to defend James.
The Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang passed the ball again, this time Qin Yang passed it to Casspi, Casspi wisely did not attack rashly again.
Being fast-breaked several times, the Cavaliers' defensive awareness is already in place.
Fast attack can't be played.
But it doesn't matter, after Qin Yang passed halftime, Casspi passed the ball, Qin Yang took the ball and broke through directly, JR Smith just followed, and when he reached the middle distance, Qin Yang made a gesture and turned around to shoot, and then easily lobbed it to Casspi on the other side, Casspi caught the ball and passed it to Seth Curry who was running.
Seth Curry easily picked the basket and scored.
With this ball, Qin Yang attracted the defense, a series of passes and cuts, and Seth Curry's goal was at the elementary school level.
It seems that this goal is very simple, but only the Mavericks know that this is the result of countless tactical drills and field training.
This kind of incomparably smooth passing and cutting cooperation is not something that can be played simply.
The Cavaliers attack.
James fought again, and Qin Yang tried his best this time, even making small moves.The small action is not big, but it makes James very uncomfortable.
At the basket, James passed the ball to Mozgov.
Mozgov made a small hook, and Marion held it hard.Qin Yang stepped forward to get stuck, and took the basketball off first.Qin Yang's height, wingspan, and speed advantages undoubtedly played a role at this time. James was behind Qin Yang and didn't get a rebound.
The Mavericks attack.
Qin Yang broke through again after the cover and passed to Casspi, Casspi broke through and passed to Seth Curry, Seth Curry met the help defense and passed to Qin Yang again.
At this time, Qin Yang was still double-teaming.
Qin Yang passed to Marion, and Marion passed to Qin Yang, who made a screen for Qin Yang, and then Qin Yang stepped back and shot a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
Whoosh!
A three-pointer was hit.
The Mavericks led by 2 point.
The Cavaliers called a timeout.
Coach David Blatt replaced Kyrie Irving and Shumpert was replaced.With Shumpert on the field, the defensive effect is not good, especially when it comes to defending players without the ball. The effect is very poor. He defends against Qin Yang, and Qin Yang has various pass screens. Therefore, Shumpert's role is much smaller than in the previous game.
With Irving on the court, the Cavaliers' perimeter defense weakened again.
The Cavaliers attacked, Irving received a pass from James on the outside, singled Casspi, made a fancy breakthrough, and finally made a shot.
Fortunately, Casspi remained expressionless and continued to defend.
The Mavericks attack.
With the help of cover, Qin Yang avoids JR Smith, and once again encounters James' help defense on the outside line, Qin Yang walks to the right, and Owen double-teams again.
Qin Yang passed directly to the right, Casspi received the ball, and made a direct shot from outside the three-point line.
Whoosh!
The three-pointer hit again.
The Mavericks opened up outside.
In the second quarter, Qin Yang played for 8 minutes, and the Mavericks played an extremely smooth passing and cutting cooperation. This kind of passing and cutting cooperation has been tried by the Mavericks this season, and there are times when they performed well, but it has not been so important all the time, because with Qin Yang and Dirk, this kind of passing and cutting cooperation is not so important.
There is an absolute advantage in direct singles, who would use this kind of cooperation that may make mistakes.
But at this time, this kind of passing and cutting cooperation made the fans' eyes shine.
Especially the fans who usually don't pay much attention to the Mavericks' games were instantly stunned:
"Hold the grass, the game can still be so big, and it's a jump shot after a cover run."
"The three-pointer went in again."
"Good shot, good pass from Bruce Chin, Casspi goes straight to the layup."
……
The bigger the Cavaliers are, the worse they are. The bigger the team, the more anxious they are. The more anxious they are, the more mistakes they make, and the more they miss. In addition, JR made 4 of 1 three-pointers in this quarter, which directly pitted his teammates.
In the 9 minutes of the second quarter, when Qin Yang left the court, the Mavericks had already led by 11 points.
This is a huge difference.
Qin Yang went off and replaced Rudy Gay and Vince Carter.Seth Curry is down.
This lineup is both offensive and defensive.
After the Mavericks opened up, they continued to lead.
Casspi once again played superbly in this game.
