Chapter 515 Injury and Weakness
As soon as the game started, Cousins was embarrassed.
James and Wade are targeting Cousins.Don't ask for hits, just draw fouls.
This is the regular season, the scale is already small, plus it is the Heat's home court, Cousins is depressed, 5 minutes into the first quarter, Cousins fouled four times and was replaced by Coach Van Gundy.
This is not a big deal.
What was even more frustrating was that in the 8 minutes of the first quarter, when the three were fighting for rebounds, Darko sprained his arm and foot at the same time and was directly replaced.
The Kings' interior has changed from one of the strongest in the league to a weak one.
David West is not weak, but the defensive end is average. After getting older, his strength and footwork are much worse. It is the offensive end that can exert strength.
As for Hassan Whiteside, this season is still a rookie.
Both Cousins and Darko were unable to play, and the Heat's tactics changed. Bosh got the ball like never before. In the last 4 minutes, Bosh made 6 of 6 and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 15 points.
The Heat directly took the lead by 13 points.
David West and Hassan Whiteside couldn't make it any harder for Bosh.
Bosh played whatever he wanted, and became a superstar again.
In fact?
Since coming to the Heat, Bosh's tactical status has been very low. It is impossible to play low-post singles. If you want to play post-ups, what about James and Wade?
Catch and shoot from the perimeter?
Are you going to make them strike forty times a game?
Therefore, Bosh can only sacrifice himself. The task of each game is to screen outside pick-and-rolls, open up space, defend pitchers, and catch and shoot.
Bosh actually did a good job.
But with Wade and James, Bosh is a tragedy.
Can only be a role player.
In fact, Bosh was able to be selected in the top ten in the 03 draft year and quickly became a superstar in the league. His strength is very strong.
In post-up singles in the interior, Bosh is a must in the league.
And in terms of shooting, Bosh made 45% and 49% of his three-pointers in the first two seasons.
Compared with the gratifying shooting percentages of James and Wade, Bosh is a real thigh.
This time without a tough defensive player, Bosh turned into a beast inside.
The Kings were directly penetrated inside.
In the second quarter, Qin Yang continued to play and scored 11 points and 4 assists, but the Kings were still behind.
The ability to protect the inner line is extremely weak. James and Wade dared to hit the basket again and again, and their shooting percentages were extremely high.
In the third quarter, Qin Yang rested for a while, and the Heat directly crushed him.
In the fourth quarter, Qin Yang continued to play fierce battles, but it was useless. The Heat didn't give him the slightest chance, and the point difference gradually widened instead.
In the end, the Heat won the game 138-112, leading by 26 points.
秦阳29中14，三分球11中5，罚球13中12，拿到45分10助攻6篮板2抢断的全能数据，但是国王队却输球了。
In the case of a complete collapse in the interior, the pressure on the outside of the Kings is too great.
James, Wade, Ray Allen and others directly blasted the outside line of the Kings. The only one who had the power to resist was Qin Yang. On both ends of the offense and defense, Qin Yang could make his own contribution.
But the game is for five people.
Qin Yang will pass the ball to whoever is defending, and the Heat will directly crush them without giving them any chance.
鲁迪盖伊本场比赛22中6，拿到14分5篮板2助攻的数据，表现比较惨淡。
Casspi is completely hoodwinked by Ka.
Klay Thompson also performed well, with 9 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
Cousins played 10 minutes and left the field with 6 fouls.
Qin Yang didn't know what to say.
I insisted on making waves before the game, but I was targeted by someone. If I was targeted, I quickly confessed that I would rather let the opponent layup than rush to foul.
With this foul, the Kings couldn't play at all.
Without Cousins, Darko was under a lot of pressure.
The more fierce the fight, the higher the probability of injury. Although Cousins was not directly related to the injury this time, in many games, it often affects the whole body.
After losing the game, Qin Yang wasn't very upset.
Although there was no training in the off-season, Qin Yang worked hard during the recovery training, and his physical fitness could not help but not weaken, but strengthened.
Taking a break after a long game is not necessarily a bad thing.
Qin Yang also played very well in this game, leaving people speechless.
Post-match press conference.
Qin Yang: "Winning or losing this game will not have any impact on us. We are all worried about Darko. His injury will have a huge impact on the team. I hope his injury is not serious and he will recover as soon as possible."
After the game, Qin Yang went to see Darko with his teammates.
Darko, as one of the inside stars this season, naturally gets attention.
After some complicated checks, the results are out.
"The arm and ankle muscles were sprained, and the bones were not injured. It's not a big problem, but it will take a while to recuperate!" After Coach Van Gundy told the situation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Darko is also in a good mood.
In other words, the situation of not playing for more than a month with this injury is not the worst.
When he was a rookie, the devastation Darko experienced was far from being comparable to such a simple injury. Relatively speaking, this kind of injury is only a minor problem.
After ice application, no surgery is required.
Darko was promoted to Sacramento.
The Kings still need to continue their away games.
On November 11, the team arrived in Minnesota.
On the training ground, the team started a new tactical drill.
In the past few seasons, more and more attention has been paid to three-pointers from the outside. Coupled with the impact of the Magic's championship, the tactics of one big belt and four small ones have become more and more common.
Many teams will use this tactic at a certain period of time in the game.
But for the Kings, such tactics are not common.
Coach Van Gundy doesn't like the tactic of one big with four small.
At the beginning, the Magic used it so much because Howard was on the inside. Howard's top defense ability and assist defense ability are extremely rare in NBA history.
Let other insiders do this, it is easy to hit the basket after a pass and cut, and get hit directly.
This is extremely detrimental to defense.
But now that the team's inside line is missing, this tactic must also be taken into account.
On November 11, in an away game against the Timberwolves, the Kings' starting lineup changed.
Qin Yang, Klay Thompson, Casspi, Rudy Gay, Cousins.
The Timberwolves have been rebuilding since Kevin Garnett left, but they have never been surpassed. Not to mention the draft vision makes people anxious, and the team construction is also a mess.
Timberwolves starting, Kirilenko, Brandon Roy, Pekovic, Kevin Love, Luke Ridno.
This lineup looks amazing at first glance.
But when it came to the game, it was completely different.
