Chapter 475 The First Round Opens
In the last game of the regular season, Qin Yang didn't play.
On the contrary, Qin Yang accompanies Lily to take a good tour of the metropolis of Los Angeles, shopping, watching movies, Qin Yang compensates for the lack of company this year.
This season, the regular season is very short and the schedule is very dense.
The players themselves have to fly around, playing games is very hard, and there is no time to spend with their families, and this season, players are either on the way to the away game or playing games.
With the family?
This is just a wish.
Many players have put a red light on their families because of this.
Even Lily was angry with Qin Yang because of this.
The playoffs are coming soon, it's time for Qin Yang to spend some time with Lily.
After shopping for a day, Qin Yang warmed up at home again, and the time came to April 4th.
On the 28th, the first game of the playoffs, the Kings played against the Clippers at home.
Before the game, the media made predictions for this round:
"The game between the Kings and the Clippers will be a wonderful battle. At the beginning of the season, the Kings once beat the Clippers, but as the game continued, the Clippers got better and better. The record is very good. If it weren't for the impact of injuries, the Clippers' record this season would be the best."
"The probability of the Clippers and the Kings advancing is [-]-[-]."
When Qin Yang saw the news, he felt very disdainful in his heart.
As the league's tactics and rules evolve, point guards like Paul will become less and less popular.Because the point guard needs to contribute more and more on the offensive end, and the assists will continue to weaken.
The position is blurred, which is the trend of the NBA.
Many people say that the current tactics of the NBA are often one big team with four small players.
This is not an error.
The king's current play is also somewhat similar. When attacking, Darko often stands on the outside, attracting defense on the one hand, and on the other hand, if Darko catches the ball from the outside, few people can interfere in place.
Big men are a huge threat on offense.
Before the game started, Sacramento's home court was full of stars.
Although Sacramento is the capital of California, it is not that famous.
It's like Washington is the capital of the United States, but the real big cities are New York and Los Angeles, and other places are rural, which is incomparable to them.
But today, Sacramento's home court was packed.
The governor, the head of Sacramento's office (to prevent the river crab, not a typo.) The boss of the Kings and others all came here to watch the game, and there were groups of other film and television stars.
The Clippers played unrestrainedly and attracted many fans. The Kings are a strong team in the league. The only player in the league who can attract Chinese fans is there, and the ratings are guaranteed.
Before the competition officially started, the ratings had already skyrocketed.
NBA data center.
More than a dozen NBA executives watched the ratings continue to rise, and the expressions on their faces became better and better.
"exceeded!"
Someone exclaimed in a low voice.
The game between the Kings and the Clippers has reached the peak of the ratings for the first round of the NBA playoffs.There has never been such a ratings in the first round of the playoffs in history.
"what do you think?"
President Stern said to the bald man next to him.
Adam Silver nodded:
"China is an important factor, and the Clippers are also a very topical team. This kind of game is bound to attract fans."
Adam Silver made no secret of his intentions.
Stern nodded.
…………
The game officially begins.
Cousins and DeAndre Jordan jump the ball.
Cousins has a very high probability of winning the jump ball this season, because Cousins himself has excellent jumping and wingspan, and few people in the league can match it.
But DeAndre Jordan is not inferior at all.
In terms of defensive efficiency at the basket this season, DeAndre Jordan ranks in the top ten, even one level higher than Cousins.
Therefore, many people boast that the Clippers have the Big Three.
Chris Paul is one, Griffin is one, DeAndre Jordan is one.
Qin Yang almost spit out his forehead when he heard this, he is also considered a superstar, isn't this amused.
But now the league has more and more groups, and many teams have reserved star positions, so the number of superstars is also increasing.
Even half of the teams in the league seem to have a Big Three.
Where does the alliance have so many giants?
Cousins was unconvinced when he jumped the ball. Because of the jump ball in the regular season, Cousins lost to DeAndre Jordan twice.
This time, Cousins really worked hard.
The ball was given to Qin Yang a little earlier.
The jump ball won, and Cousins was so happy that he waved his arms and shouted.
Qin Yang was also quite speechless.
The Kings attack.
Qin Yang took the ball and started playing singles directly.
The first ball is usually played by the team boss. At this time of the playoffs, Qin Yang will not be polite.
It was Randy Foye who defended Qin Yang.Caron Butler went to guard Grant Hill.
In this game, the Kings' starting lineup changed drastically.
Qin Yang, Cousins, Darko, Grant Hill, Francisco Garcia started, and the Clippers were Chris Paul, Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Caron Butler, Randy Foye.
Grant Hill is a veteran, and he was Jordan's successor at the beginning. Although his strength has dropped drastically, he is very experienced in handling the ball.
In the playoffs, veteran experience is very important.
After dribbling halfway, Qin Yang dribbled behind his back and made a direct breakthrough.
Randy Foye was under a lot of pressure, just followed Qin Yang, and changed direction twice in a row. Randy Foye couldn't stand it anymore, and took half a step back.
If he didn't retreat any longer, Qin Yang would easily break through.
But at this time, Qin Yang took a step back and easily shot a three-pointer.
Whoosh!
A three-pointer was hit.
On the first ball, Qin Yang took the lead with his iconic move.
Clippers offense.
Paul directly dribbled and broke through, and Francisco Garcia just followed, but at a short distance from the basket, Paul directly stopped and threw a shot with a ghostly rhythm.
The basketball hits the net lightly.
The Clippers trailed by 1 point.
At the beginning, it was a point difference, and no one cared.
But Qin Yang felt that the game was stable.
In fact it is.
The Kings started to play tactics quickly, not fighting recklessly with the Clippers.
Qin Yang dribbled the ball halfway, and Grant Hill directly screened. After the screen, Qin Yang broke through and attracted the defense to pass to Darko. Darko broke through with the ball, held high and played decisively.
In the regular season, Griffin was often criticized for not paying attention to defense.
But... Griffin played very defensively in the playoffs.
But defense sometimes depends on talent.
Qin Yang was helpless when he was passed by a short defender. This is his talent.
Darko's height is much taller than Griffin's, and his wingspan is much better. This ball is obviously a high shot, and he finds an opportunity to make a decisive shot.
Close range is almost equivalent to an open shot, easy to hit.
Paul Gasol likes to use this trick the most in the league, and he uses it very aggressively, followed by Channing Frye.
This kind of tall insider likes to use this method to score when he is out of position, and the opponent is very helpless.
Dako Qinyang, Qin Yang stepped forward and clapped hands in celebration.
"Nice job!"
