Chapter 484 The Lore Failed
Elevator tactics.
As the name suggests, it is like two elevator doors, keeping defensive players out and giving teammates an open shot.
Such a tactic is in the middle of a screen foul and no foul.
Some people say that doing so is a cover for a foul, while others think it is not a foul.
The league's attitude towards this is that as long as there is no deliberate pull or other actions when covering, it is not considered a foul.
But this tactic is kind of rogue.
If this tactic is used frequently, defensive players have many ways to deal with it, such as going close to the body without giving any opportunities, or narrowing the encirclement, or directly fouling.
But suddenly using such a tactic, the effect is obvious.
Looking back, Durant and Ibaka played a pick-and-roll offense, but there were only picks and no rolls. Durant forced a shot at the basket and successfully drew a foul.
2 for 2 free throw.
Qin Yang made a breakthrough, attracting the defense to pass to Ray Allen, and Ray Allen passed to Rudy Gay, who made an air cut.
But under Ibaka's defense, the basketball bounced out of the frame.
Darko got the rebound and hooked it directly.
Durant jumped up and fouled.
Darko made 2 of 1 free throws.
The Thunder team was attacking, and Westbrook's passing route was too obvious at the critical moment. Qin Yang stepped forward decisively to steal the ball. After the steal, Qin Yang shot a super long-range three-pointer and hit it again.
The two teams fought bloody under the basket, and every point counted.
At this time, Qin Yang's key role was revealed.
Whether it is scoring, assisting, or covering teammates, they all played a key role.
In the last half minute, the Kings trailed by 1 minute.
Westbrook attacked with the ball. As long as the goal is scored, the suspense of the game will not be great.
At the critical moment, Westbrook ignored Kevin Durant's request and played directly.
Directly changing direction and speeding up to break through Ray Allen, Qin Yang stepped forward to help defend, Westbrook immediately retreated, retreated beyond the three-point line, and slowly made a gesture of worshiping Buddha.
Everyone thought it was a feint.
Qin Yang jumped up directly from the side.
As a result, Westbrook really jumped up.
Three-point shot.
boom!
Qin Yang put his hat down.
A stunning snap cap.
After getting the ball, Qin Yang immediately called a timeout.
Coach Van Gundy immediately took out the tactical board and began to explain the tactics to the players:
"There is still a chance for the last attack. Everyone cheer up, Bruce, you are in control of the last ball. It is no problem to shoot yourself or pass the ball to others."
In the last few seconds, all the complicated tactics have become clouds.
Coach Van Gundy is an old driver and knows what to do.
The most simple and direct method is actually effective at this time.
Qin Yang was double-teamed.
In the last attack, both Durant and Westbrook rushed up. This was the tactical choice of the Thunder coach.
Since Qin Yang became the leader of the team, he has made many regular season lore.
Even if the teammates are in better positions?
Qin Yang also chose to do it himself.
At the last moment, Qin Yang dared to take responsibility, or he was very independent, a bit like Kobe, so the Thunder dared to choose this way.
Double-teaming, not giving Qin Yang any chance.
Durant was ready to provoke at any time, and did not let Qin Yang break through, while Westbrook was watching from the sidelines.
If Qin Yang breaks through, Westbrook will immediately go up to strengthen the confrontation.
In the last few seconds, even if Westbrook was about to hit Qin Yang, the referee would not whistle.
It is a consistent agreement of the league to hand over the ball to the players at critical moments.
Therefore, this ball is difficult for Qin Yang to handle.
At this time, Qin Yang chose to pass the ball and directly passed the ball to Ray Allen who was open.
Ray Allen raised the knife and dropped his hand.
All the players were dumbfounded.
Even the Thunder players and coaches couldn't understand, why did Qin Yang pass the ball?You should go on your own, complete the final lore by yourself, either become a hero, or fail.
Of course, most of them fail.
At the critical moment, few people can hit the shot just right under this kind of pressure.
The lore is mostly due to luck most of the time.
But... the next moment.
boom!
The basketball hit the hoop and bounced out, the ball was in the air, boy, the red light sounded, Dakko raised it high, and by the time he got the rebound, the game was over.
The lore failed!
The Thunder won their first home game 1-0.
After the Kings lost, Ray Allen was so disappointed that he held his head and didn't know what to do. At the critical moment, an open three-pointer hit the iron.
If the ball goes in, it's a perfect win.
This is the most deserving goal.
Ray Allen was extremely frustrated.
Qin Yang stepped forward, patted Lei Allen on the shoulder, and comforted Lei Allen, and other people also surrounded him, expressing relief to Lei Allen.
In fact, when it comes to lore, no one knows what will happen.
Everyone thought that Qin Yang would make the shot by himself, even under defensive pressure, and Ray Allen thought so too. Therefore, when he finally caught the ball, Ray Allen was unprepared, and his shot was not stable enough, and he wobbled a bit.
At the end of the game, after Qin Yang and his teammates hugged, Durant and Harden hugged.
In this match, Qin Yang felt a little aggrieved by losing.
Post-match press conference.
Qin Yang was very flat about his choice of the last ball:
"It was just a pass, an extremely ordinary pass, but the time was at the last moment. Ray didn't make that three-pointer. This is within the normal range. It is impossible to make all three-pointers. Basketball is round, and everything is possible."
Ray Allen was annoyed at his last shot:
"It was a shot that should have been made, and if it had, we would have had the advantage in this series, and that was a big blow for me."
Of course, when confronted with questions from the media, Qin Yang was also angry.
"Passing the ball is not a mistake. I can choose to shoot at the last moment or pass the ball at the last moment. This is just a simple choice. It has nothing to do with whether I can take responsibility for the team. I think the team will shoot at the last moment when they need it."
At the press conference after the game, many media had opinions on Qin Yang's choice of the last ball.
Even Westbrook said at this time:
"If it were me, I would choose to shoot. At the critical moment of the team, if I need to stand up, I will definitely not be timid. I will shoot resolutely, even if it is useless."
Westbrook is making trouble with Qin Yang.
On the contrary, Durant and Harden expressed their support to Qin Yang.
Durant:
"This is just an offense. Fundamentally speaking, it is no different from other offenses. If Ray Allen made that goal, we would be losers, but Ray Allen missed it. It has nothing to do with mistakes. I don't think Bruce's choice is wrong."
James Harden:
"At that time, no matter what choice Bruce made, it was not wrong. If it was me, at that time, I would also choose to pass the ball. There is a super shooter in the league next to the open space? Why not pass the ball?"
