Chapter 389 The Role of Superstars
Qin Yang holds the ball.
It was Kevin Durant defending Qin Yang.
In the first three quarters, Sefoloza was beaten by Qin Yang, so Kevin Durant personally defended Qin Yang at the critical moment.
Qin Yang and Kevin Durant have played many balls together and know each other very well.
But this is the first time for a matchup at a critical moment of the game.
Qin Yang dribbled the ball and lowered his body.
Compared with other players, Qin Yang's center of gravity is very high, because Qin Yang is more than two meters tall, but compared with Durant, Qin Yang's center of gravity is lower.
The low center of gravity is an advantage.
This is the reason why small players beat big players.
Qin Yang lowered his body to dribble the ball and approached Kevin Durant directly. Durant stepped back half a step away without being in a hurry.
Both of them are familiar with each other very well. If Durant really doesn't retreat, if Qin Yang speeds up, Durant may fall behind by half a body.
Offensive in basketball, offensive players have a natural advantage.
Durant can only take half a step back to defend Qin Yang's breakthrough. At the same time, Durant can rely on his wingspan to interfere with shooting at this distance.
Qin Yang was so far behind that Durant retreated, and immediately advanced again.
At this time, Durant hesitated, but still backed away.
But at this moment, Qin Yang immediately pulled the ball back and stepped back, Durant subconsciously moved forward, but at this moment, Qin Yang immediately patted the ball and accelerated the breakthrough.
A moment of effort.
The two of them stood there almost without moving. After taking two small steps forward, Qin Yang pulled the ball and accelerated to break through.
Durant doesn't seem to be doing anything.
Various details are sometimes not as simple as fans see.
Durant's physical fitness is very good, he reacted quickly, retreated directly, and followed Qin Yang closely.
Relying on Durant, Qin Yang went from one body ahead to half a body behind.
The speed of holding the ball itself is slower than running with full strength, which is impossible.
But Qin Yang was right.
Durant's defense is not a problem.
Qin Yang reached the basket in the blink of an eye, Durant was also under the basket, and Ibaka was under the basket to help defend, and the two almost double-teamed Qin Yang.
Qin Yang leaned against Durant and gently raised it.
Ibaka also jumped up.
At this time, Durant realized something was wrong.
The next moment, Qin Yang swung his arm, slightly suspended in the air, and bumped into Ibaka's arm.
Touch porcelain!
Snapped!
There is no suspense about this thug.
The whistle sounded at the same time, but at this moment, Qin Yang fell to the ground in the air, and then threw the ball up from a strange angle under the basket.
Wipe the board and the ball goes in.
Off the court, James Harden was stunned to see this scene.
This is James Harden's porcelain stunt.
Qin Yang has learned.
Qin Yang made a free throw and made 2 of 2 steadily.
The momentum of the Kings quickly stabilized, and the pressure came to the Thunder.
The Thunder attacked, Westbrook made a layup, and Dakko assisted in the defense at the basket. Westbrook was whistled for a foul on Westbrook's offense, which made people speechless.
2 of 1 free throws.
The Kings attack.
Qin Yang did not rush to attack this time. After Darko covered, Ibaka and Durant double-teamed, and Qin Yang gave the ball to Darko.
On the other side, Darko jumped up with the ball in the middle distance and dunked.
The Thunder attacked, Durant and Westbrook passed the ball twice, and Westbrook made a three-pointer at the critical moment.
Westbrook's three-point shooting rate is very dismal.
Last season, Westbrook made only 22% of his three-pointers, which was the lowest among defenders.
That is to say, Rajon Rondo's three-pointers are worse than him.
At the critical moment of the two teams, Westbrook even used a three-pointer to chase points. Ray Allen did not expect this choice.
No one thought of it.
More importantly, the goal turned out to be scored.
Although the goal was scored, the Thunder's tactic was like shit. Westbrook played like this at a critical moment, and he was not afraid of getting out of it.
The Kings attack and Darko screens again.
This time, the Thunder defended very tough. Qin Yang didn't find a chance to pass to Garcia. After Garcia received the ball, he passed it to Qin Yang, who also made a screen for Qin Yang.
After the screen, Qin Yang directly shot a three-pointer.
It's a pity that at this time, Qin Yang's three-pointer hit the back of the basket and bounced out again.
Ibaka was stuck at the basket and Westbrook got the rebound.
Qin Yang didn't even make a three-pointer, and Qin Yang felt a little flustered in his heart.
This combination of passing and cutting is a bit like a weakened version of the elevator tactic. Garcia serves as a wall for Qin Yang to cover.
Qin Yang made a three-pointer.
There is nothing wrong with this tactic.But the ball missed.
If the time is still long and the two teams play like this, Westbrook makes a forced three-pointer, Qin Yang uses the screen to make a three-pointer, and the Kings can win a game by [-] points.But these one or two goals at the critical moment are really terrible.
The Thunder attacked, Ibaka made a screen, and when Westbrook didn't pass the ball at all, he went directly to the basket.
Darko stepped forward to help defend, Westbrook was horizontal and went straight to the basket.
But at this time, Qin Yang followed up from behind, and blocked Westbrook's layup with a big cap.
Darko gets the rebound.
The Kings attack.
Qin Yang held the ball. This time the Kings passed the ball five times in a row, and finally begged to the high-ranking Qin Yang. Durant followed closely without giving Qin Yang a chance.
Durant became the scoring leader last season and became famous.
In many people's minds, Durant's strength lies in offense, but his defense seems to have little impression. He should be much weaker than James and Kobe.
But... In fact, Durant's defense is better than Kobe's, and he and James also have their own advantages and disadvantages.
James has a very good defensive effect against a strong striker.
Durant's defense is more comprehensive.
Qin Yang took the ball, broke through after the crossover, and Durant followed closely, which seemed to be a very suitable defense.
But the next moment, Qin Yang hit the ground fiercely and passed the ball, and Garcia on the other side got the ball.
Garcia is good at corner three-pointers, and Qin Yang has already noticed.
Garcia hit the ball steadily at the critical moment.
The Kings reversed the score.
After reversing the score, Westbrook was very angry. After taking the ball, he waved his hand directly to signal others to open up space.
This is singles again.
Westbrook is still singles, this time a quick change of direction, carrying Ray Allen into the paint.
Qin Yang rushed towards the inside line at the same time.
Darko helped defend inside, and Westbrook chose to pass the ball at a critical moment.
But the basketball was on the way, Qin Yang cut the ball with a snappy pat, and then picked up the basketball.
Undoubtedly a steal.
Qin Yang's attack to the basket has only two functions, one is to grab rebounds, and the other is to steal.Westbrook's passing idea is too obvious, and it is not difficult to steal, especially at this time, Westbrook will pass to Ibaka with a probability of more than [-]%.
Qin Yang's guess was correct.
