Chapter 486 Finding Weaknesses
Klay Thompson's shooting is good, but his shot selection is questionable.
In the last game, Klay missed a lot of shots, which made the Kings very passive, but in this game, Klay Thompson felt hot and directly beat James Harden.
Ha, wait for me to be safe.
In other words, Klay Thompson is too difficult to defend in this state.
The Thunder called a timeout, which was to delay Klay Thompson's touch, but after the game, Klay Thompson's touch was still very good.
Klay Thompson scored 13 points in the second quarter, and the gap between the two teams widened again.
When Qin Yang played again in the third quarter, he was still not polite.
Westbrook defended, Qin Yang singled out, used his height to hit, James Ha and others defended, and directly ran to catch the ball easily.
Durant defends, Qin Yang enters the basket, draws a foul, or passes the ball.
Sefrosa defended, Qin Yang used his speed to break through.
Anyway, no matter how to defend, Qin Yang has a way to deal with it.
During the regular season, Qin Yang seldom played like this, mainly because of coordination and tactics, with few shots and average statistics.
But at this time of the playoffs, both sides are fighting for stars, it is impossible to win easily, Qin Yang has to stand up.
When the team moved back to the score in the first game, it was when Qin Yang took a lot of shots.
Some people say that the regular season is about tactics, and the playoffs are about superstars.
This statement is not necessarily correct, but it is not entirely wrong.
In the playoffs, the defensive scale and physical confrontation are not comparable to those in the regular season. At this time, many tactics will be greatly reduced, especially when the players' cooperation is not so tacit, the most common method is for superstars to play their own advantages.
So when Qin Yang said to increase his shots, Coach Van Gundy didn't object.
At the end of the third quarter, Qin Yang had scored 43 points, 9 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.
2 steals, all of which were Westbrook's mistakes.
The Kings lead by 24 points.
In the last quarter, the Thunder wanted to counterattack, but the rest of the Kings stood up. Rudy Gay, who was in a sluggish state throughout the game, scored consecutively and suppressed the Thunder's offense.
When the two sides enter a stable offensive and defensive battle, the game will be determined.
In the second game between the Thunder and the Kings, the Kings won and the two teams tied 1-1.
In the post-match press conference, Qin Yang didn't say much about his statistics, but instead praised his teammates:
"Dako has become more and more superstar. He knows how to handle the ball at critical moments. This is something that ordinary players cannot do."
"David made a shot at a critical moment for the team and made the rest of the team second."
"Ray has always been my most trusted player. Even though he didn't hit the last goal in the last game, he played very well in this game."
"Livingston has contributed in a limited amount of time."
"Rudy Gay is the hardest person on the team. He is responsible for defending the best offensive player on the opposite side. He helps his teammates defend again and again. No matter how tired he is, he has no complaints."
"Cousins is the most solid wall of our team. He gave us courage and strength. I am very relieved to have him inside."
"Casspi has no complaints, even if he only played 5 minutes in this game, he will cheer for our performance."
……
Qin Yang praised every player in the team.
In this round of the series, Grant Hill and Casspi played less time, but Qin Yang still praised them and praised their sacrifice.
At this time, who doesn't want to play.
Who doesn't want to get data.
However, the Thunder's outside offense is too horizontal, the physical fitness of the two is worrying, and the defense is not good enough. It is not appropriate to send two people to play at this time.
The two did not play and made sacrifices.
At this time, Qin Yang comforted the two of them in the media, and the mood of the two of them would naturally be much better, and the depression of not appearing in the first place would not continue to accumulate.
The atmosphere in the team naturally got better after this game.
But after the game, the most reported sentence by the media on Qin Yang was:
"I'm sorry, I think my performance was not as good as the last game, because I was able to pass the ball at the last moment of the last game, and this game, I didn't even play."
Qin Yang is obviously trying to blackmail himself.
The team led by a big score and won the victory. Do you still need to play at the last moment?
Then what to do with the last attack is meaningless.
Qin Yang used these words to satirize the Chicago media, but the Chicago media did not understand the meaning of the words and kept silent.But as long as Qin Yang's performance in the next game is not good, these media will jump out to black Qin Yang to their heart's content.
After two games, the Kings returned to Sacramento.
Next, the Kings will face the Thunder at their home court, which is good news for the Kings, and for Qin Yang, the best news is that Lily can watch her game at home.
"The next two games must be won, mainly to win the match point, and the next game will be much easier to play."
Coach Van Gundy said so in the team's internal meeting that followed.
Qin Yang also nodded:
"The next home game is the key. As long as they lead 2-1, the Thunder will panic. They lack playoff experience, but we don't."
"Correct!"
Coach Van Gundy's eyes lit up.
The Thunder started to rise in the past two seasons. They entered the playoffs last year, but were eliminated in the first round. This year, the Thunder made a comeback and are very strong.
But in the playoffs, strength is not enough.
Playoff experience is important.
How should I put it, at the critical moment, in the case of high-intensity confrontation, many players' reactions are subconscious. At this time, with more experience in the game, they will make the most suitable choice.
But for ordinary rookies, it will be more miserable.
This strength has nothing to do, it is purely competition experience.
Jordan's playoffs in the first two years were also horribly abused.
The Thunder's four young players are very strong, but their experience in the playoffs... is too little.
At this time, as long as they lead 2-1, the Thunder's four young players will panic and the team will have problems playing. This is the best opportunity for the Kings.
Otherwise, the two teams would really fight each other, even if the Kings won, it would be a disastrous victory in the end.
The next game is crucial.
Coach Van Gundy began to do tactical drills before the game.
The Thunder's interior defense is flawed. Ibaka is not fast enough, as long as he is careful not to be blocked, Kendrick Perkins is slower and can directly hit the basket when he finds an opportunity.
Both Westbrook and James Harden have defensive problems on the outside, and the game is not difficult to play.
As long as you find their weak points, they are easy to play.
In the first two games, the Kings were not decisive enough tactically.
On June 5th, the third game began.
At home in Sacramento, the atmosphere is completely different from that of the Thunder. Every player of the Thunder received boos when they played, while the players of the Kings were applauded when they played.
After Qin Yang came out, he hugged his girlfriend Lily.
Weiping Bryant:
"Qin Yang's girlfriend is very beautiful. It is said that Qin Yang met him when he first went to the United States, and then they met and fell in love. It can be regarded as their acquaintance at the end of Wei."
"I think after the game, we can interview Qin Yang's girlfriend so that the fans can get to know each other."
Game start.
