Chapter 560 Losing Streak, Opponent

After resting for six days, Qin Yang's muscle fatigue finally eased.

In the last game, Qin Yang could actually participate, but the team considered carefully and did not let Qin Yang play.And this next game, Qin Yang can finally play.

Losing three games in a row has little impact on the Mavericks.

Without Dirk and Nowitzki, the Mavericks have already played a wonderful cooperation, and the training effect has played a role, so there is no problem.

And the first game Qin Yang paid for was a big battle.

Before the game, TNT experts did a live TV broadcast:

"On the 26th, the Mavericks will face the Spurs at home. This will be the most intense battle of the season. There are many strong teams in the Western Conference this year, such as the Nuggets, Mavericks, Thunder, Spurs, Clippers, and Rockets. As traditional powerhouses, the Mavericks and Spurs have the strength to win the championship, and this game will determine who is eligible to enter the Western Conference finals."

"The most powerful forward in active service plays against the strongest point guard in active service. This is an extremely rare situation in NBA history. It is a pity that Dirk Nowitzki is injured, otherwise this game will be better."

……

The experts dare to say so.

Anyway, it doesn't matter how you say it, as long as the fans like to watch it and it can attract people.

When the Spurs came, Qin Yang invited the Spurs to dinner with his teammates. Both teams are strong teams, but they have a good relationship in private.

Duncan, Ginobili and Qin Yang have a good relationship and can chat.

The Spurs' style actually suits Qin Yang very well.

The pick-and-rolls, screens, and tactics were meticulous. In fact, Qin Yang almost went to the Spurs at the beginning, but... Qin Yang really didn't want to go to the Spurs.

This is a difficult question.

The Spurs are a relatively calm, but lethargic team. This kind of team is not very friendly to players like Qin Yang who are good at passing the ball.

What's more, Duncan, a rookie, seems to be still in his prime, and Qin Yang has gone, and his position is very awkward.

The Spurs are dominated by Popovich, Duncan has to be ranked second, Qin Yang has gone, and conflicts must be inevitable.

On the 26th, the game officially started.

The Spurs have changed their tactics this season. Although the ball possession and tactics of the GDP combination are very high, in fact, Kawhi Leonard has become the core of the Spurs.

In every game, Leonard doesn't take many shots.

But most of the time, basketball has to transfer the ball through Leonard, which is the core tactical position.

The Spurs start, Duncan, Tony Parker, Leonard, Belinelli, Splitter.

The Mavericks started, Al Jefferson, Gobert, Qin Yang, Corey Brewer, Casspi.

The two sides jumped the ball, Gobert dialed the ball over, and the Mavericks made the first offense.

Qin Yang dribbles, and Leonard defends Qin Yang.

Leonard has improved rapidly in the past two seasons, and the offensive end is still a little immature, but on the defensive end, Leonard performed very well.

Many experts believe that Leonard is already eligible to chase the best defensive player.

In the evaluation of the Mavericks coach, Leonard is one of the strongest defensive players among the active perimeter defensive players in the league.

Qin Yang handled the first ball carefully.

The way to deal with it is simple, pick and roll.

Look for the opponent's strongest defensive core. It looks very strong, but it's actually very stupid.

Al Jefferson stepped forward to cover and Qin Yang broke through.

After the breakthrough, Qin Yang retreated with the ball and blocked Leonard with Al Jefferson.

Leonard was a little confused.

Qin Yang accelerated to enter the three-point line, hitting the rebound and shooting easily.

It's kind of cheesy to drive through the pick-and-roll and then step back to trap the defender, but it's actually a very good method.

Leonard was scored a goal with a deadpan expression on his face.

Duncan stepped forward and patted Leonard, the meaning was obvious.

Qin Yang smiled. Although Leonard didn't show any expression, it was obvious that he was angry.

It's okay to be angry!
Don't be angry, this game is actually very difficult to play.

The Spurs attack, Tony Parker holds the ball, and directly breaks through Casspi, the Mavericks' current starter, Casspi is a defensive flaw.

Tony Parker made a layup and Gobert helped defend.

As a result, a light throw shot hit.

Gobert has done a very good job of interfering with the outside line. Although it is the first season, his excellent wingspan and height, monstrous position and golf quotient make Gobert perform very well in this regard.

But... I was deflated when I met Tony Parker.

Tony Parker is super fast, and his floater is a must.

The throwing technique generally does not have a very high hit rate, but if you really master it, it will be difficult to interfere. This is the theoretically best way for small outside players to enter the inside.

Because of this kind of shooting, the shooting arc is high and the shooting position is uncertain, so it is the most difficult to be defended by tall guys inside.

It's just that throwing is too difficult, and ordinary players can't control it, and the shooting rate is extremely low.

For the first ball, both teams played very boldly.

After this, the two teams began to play tactics.

The Mavericks mainly focus on passing and cutting. Qin Yang himself reduced the offense with the ball. Unless the chance of misalignment is very good, Qin Yang did not directly play singles.

On the contrary, Corey Brewer hit the basket, and Casspi shot directly after accepting Qin Yang's screen with a very high efficiency.

The Mavericks played brilliantly tactically.

The Spurs are similar.

Duncan and Splitter actively screened, while Tony Parker gave full play to his speed advantage.The Spurs' tactics are rigorous, and they can find misplaced opportunities in every offense.

Qin Yang admired this very much.

Eight minutes into the first quarter, Qin Yang went off the court, and the Mavericks trailed by 8 points.

Calderon played, Vince Carter played, the Mavericks are more balanced tactically.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks trailed by 8 points.

The match was extremely frustrating.

In the one-to-one tactical execution, the Mavericks are obviously not as good as the Spurs. The Spurs are not comparable to ordinary teams.

During the rest time, Qin Yang looked very calm.

Coach Rick Carlisle went to the locker room and spoke to the players:
"In the first quarter, everyone played very well. With the tactics we have played, what everyone needs to do is to be more focused on the defensive end, more decisive on the offensive end, and pay more attention to the coordination of passing and cutting tactics. In the first quarter, your six mistakes clearly exceeded expectations."

Carlisle's coaching strength is quite good.

In terms of tactical layout, there are no obvious shortcomings.

Maybe his shortcoming is defensive play, but the Mavericks have the league's best defensive assistant coach, so it's not a big problem.

In the second quarter, the team is still playing tactics.

After Ginobili played, the Spurs played even more aggressively.

But the Mavericks are not bad either. Sean Marion and Vince Carter are the substitutes. The Mavericks are very strong as substitutes. Although Seth Curry did poorly on the defensive end, he unexpectedly scored 9 points in a row on the offensive end, which turned out to be a reversal of the point difference.

The two teams came and went, and the stalemate continued until the third quarter.
