Chapter 538 is not empty at all
At the end of the first quarter, Calderon played, and the situation changed again.
After Calderon played, the Grizzlies began to shrink, inside defense.
Calderon's three-point shooting ability is average, and his offensive ability with the ball is also average. He usually makes strategic passes or cooperates with tactical pick-and-rolls.
To put it simply, it is a conventional weapon, which is insufficient compared to the top and more than the bottom.
Calderon enters.The situation has changed again.
On the offensive end, the Mavericks lacked a large output point and containment point, and the Grizzlies' defense in other positions suddenly became compact.
Conley defends Calderon alone, and there is nothing left, and Conley can even help defend others at any time.
Calderon was beaten helplessly by Conley.
McConley is almost the standard point guard. When facing Qin Yang, Conley did not show the demeanor of a super point guard at all, but it was completely different when he met Calderon.
McConley played better than Paul.
On the offensive end, after Conley opened up, the Grizzlies opened up completely.
At this time, Al Jefferson and Gobert began to show their flaws. Jefferson's defensive awareness was obviously poor and his speed was slow.
Once the defense was not in place, the Grizzlies scored easily.
By the second time, Jefferson's defensive attitude was even worse, and the Grizzlies scored more easily.This is a vicious cycle.
Gobert was even worse.
Marc Gasol wanted to be beaten. Gobert was too light and lacked strength. Marc Gasol had been in the NBA for many years and was super strong. When he met Gobert, he knew how to use his strengths and directly used his strength to fight.
Gobert is no match for rebounds.
This is a complete torture.
At the start, with Qin Yang present, the team could still maintain a slight lead, but in the second quarter, the point difference was quickly widened.
This is impossible.
Calderon worked very hard to change and drive his teammates, but there was no way.
Nowitzki's singles in the second quarter felt average, and he didn't perform well.
At halftime, the Mavericks trailed by 12 points.
This difference made Qin Yang scratch his head.
During the break, in the locker room, Qin Yang stopped Gobert and Al Jefferson.
"Al, you can defend poorly, but remember to defend at all times. In the first half, you failed to defend well several times."
"Rudy, don't use strength to defend Mark, that's not your advantage, and remember to exercise more strength at ordinary times."
Qin Yang gave advice to his teammates.
Both Al Jefferson and Rudy Gobert looked a bit ugly.
It was embarrassing when the team was still leading in the first quarter and was blown up in the second quarter.
The team is behind, but the atmosphere is not that bad.
Thackeray was waving a towel beside him, cheering on his teammates, delivering drinks and other miscellaneous tasks very well. He is a naturally optimistic person.
With this kind of player, the team can handle many things easily.
Rick Carlisle is an academic coach. At this time, Coach Carlisle did not blame the players, but quietly arranged tactics.
The Grizzlies lineup has a lot of flaws and is actually not difficult to play.
The third quarter begins.
Qin Yang began to increase his shots.
On the first ball, Qin Yang and Nowitzki screened.After the screen, Nowitzki cut directly to the basket, and the Grizzlies players were a little confused for a moment.
Qin Yang pretended to pass the ball to attract attention, and then shot a three-pointer in an instant.
Fake Fax Shoot.
Whoosh!
A three-pointer was hit.
The Grizzlies attacked, Tony Allen made an open shot and bounced out of the frame, Nowitzki grabbed the rebound, Qin Yang dribbled the ball halfway, and directly gave the ball to Nowitzki.
Qin Yang moved by himself, and the Grizzlies' defensive formation instantly became chaotic.
Nowitzki played a single and passed to Marion, who was open and made a direct hit.
Qin Yang didn't participate in this ball at all except for the running position, but Qin Yang was of great help to this attack.
Because Qin Yang made a move, which completely disrupted the Grizzlies' defense.
In the third quarter, Qin Yang's rhythm time entered again.
The substitutes and the main players are intertwined on the field, and the Grizzlies' cooperation is not tacit.Opportunities can easily arise.
Qin Yang scored 8 points and 4 assists. The Mavericks stopped the Grizzlies twice in a row and completed the reversal in the third quarter. The Grizzlies had nothing to do.
By the fourth quarter, it was almost time for the two teams to fight for offense.
The Mavericks are obviously not opponents inside. The black and white bears can always find opportunities. Al Jefferson's height disadvantage is undoubtedly reflected at this time.
But Nowitzki and Qin Yang are on the outside, so they won't lie at all.
At 5 minutes into the fourth quarter, Nowitzki played inside.The Mavericks instantly turned into a fast break mode, taking away their opponents in waves.
Another flaw of the Grizzlies is that they are afraid of being penetrated by the fast break.
The speed of the black and white bears is too slow. Once they break fast, the Grizzlies' defense will be smashed.
123-114, the Mavericks won the game without any risk at home.
The game is over, and the discussion about Al Jefferson and Zach Randolph is gone.
Both of them are role players, they don't have much possession of the ball, and they only have more than a dozen points. It's meaningless to talk about it. It is Qin Yang and Mike Conley who decide the outcome of the game, not others.
After this game, the team finally ushered in a rest day.
After three consecutive days of rest, on November 11, the Mavericks played away against the Lakers.
The Lakers have been the saddest team in recent seasons, not one of them.
Since Kobe, Gasol and others won the championship together, the Lakers have fallen into a low tide. They met Howard and Qin Yang at their peak, met the Mavericks at their peak, met the Kings, and met the Nuggets... Anyway, the Lakers can win the championship with a lineup, but it has always been a tragedy.
This season, the tragedy continues.
After driving off O'Neal, Bryant successfully kicked Howard out.
With the Lakers lineup now, Kobe no longer has to worry about it.
Because... Kobe was injured.
Many fans complained about Kobe's cancer, complained about Kobe's waste of teammates, and complained about Kobe's iron, well, these are all true.
But tragedy struck when Kobe was away.
No one on the Lakers can take on the big job.
In this game, the Lakers lined up a two-guard lineup, with Nash and Stephen Blake starting. Except for Pau Gasol, everyone else is weak.
This lineup... is so easy to play.
Qin Yang was a little at a loss.
No matter how you play, you can score, and no matter how you pass, you have a chance.This kind of feeling made Qin Yang very uncomfortable. In this case, Qin Yang's choice is... you guys play.
Six minutes into the first quarter.
When the Mavericks took the lead, Qin Yang took the initiative to call a timeout and Seth Curry got a chance to play.
Also playing are Gobert and Thackeray.
No way, this lineup is too easy to play.
Qin Yang went up to get a 50+ one after another, 20+ assists?What's the point?no point.
After Howard left, the entire league was not optimistic that the Lakers could win the championship.
