Chapter 63 Heads-up Mode
Westbrook's offensive routine is very simple. First, directly attack the basket, layup or dunk to end the battle, and second, shoot a mid-range jumper.

Westbrook's jumper is very interesting, his body is straight, like a zombie jumper.

But the hit rate is surprisingly good.

Westbrook's breakthrough was too strong.

That's right, not sharp, but strong.

Qin Yang has seen the breakthroughs of Chris Paul and Nash. Although they also rely on explosive power, most of them are the rhythm and skills of breakthroughs. Westbrook's breakthroughs are purely relying on the body, that is, relying on the body. There is nothing unreasonable.

It's as clever as clumsy.

Qin Yang vaguely saw a trace of LeBron James from Westbrook.

Incomparably strong physical fitness, the technique is simple but easy to use, and he has brought his physical fitness to the extreme.James never practices post-ups because he doesn't need to.

From the perspective of James' technical characteristics, it is indeed unnecessary.

Westbrook is similar, the breakthrough technique is simple and straightforward.

Westbrook's breakthrough is different from Derrick Rose.

Rose's playing is even stronger than Westbrook's, but his playing is more like playing desperately. He didn't slow down at all when he broke through, and his ankle twisted to an unacceptable level.

Westbrook's breakthrough is also very strong, but it relies more on his explosive power and combination of strength, making it unstoppable.

The flaws of Westbrook are that he is unstable, his shooting is unstable, his ability to finish at the basket is not strong enough, and his breakthrough skills are somewhat single, which gives Qin Yang an opportunity to take advantage of.

Focus on defending Westbrook's breakthrough and let him shoot some shots.

When blocking a score, focus on the last shot at the rim.

In this way, it will be difficult for Westbrook to play.

Westbrook is not easy to play, and Qin Yang also feels that it is very difficult to play. Westbrook's defense is very fierce and powerful, and he uses his own strength to interfere all the time.

Qin Yang felt uncomfortable.

Especially without the cover of his teammates, Qin Yang can only resolve the battle by himself.

At this time, the skills Qin Yang had worked so hard to train for so long finally came to fruition. He stopped suddenly and accelerated, took a three-point step back, and worshiped Buddha.

These actions could not help Qin Yang completely get rid of Westbrook, but they also got shooting space.

Qin Yang worked hard to practice shooting, and this time finally showed the result.

Westbrook was 11 for 4, even though most of the offense was at the basket, his shooting percentage was very low, while Qin Yang was 11 for 5 and won the heads-up victory.

"Bruce, I won't lose to you, come again next time."

Westbrook didn't admit defeat, Qin Yang smiled and didn't say anything.

A player with characteristics like Westbrook may be able to beat Qin Yang in a one-on-one match, but his role in the team is not as good as Qin Yang.

After the one-on-one with Westbrook, Durant didn't step up to the one-on-one, but just said:
"Next year, I will challenge you one-on-one."

Kevin Durant obviously thinks that Qin Yang is not his opponent.Qin Yang shrugged and didn't speak.

Kevin Durant is similar to Qin Yang in many ways. He has an obvious advantage in height matchups. He mainly shoots on the court and supplements breakthroughs. The difference is that Kevin Durant has absolute advantages in height and jumping.Kevin Durant dares to take off and shoot against anyone in the league.

Nobody jumped up to defend Kevin Durant's shot.

But Qin Yang is different. Qin Yang's height advantage is only for point guards. When facing some shooting guards and small forwards, his height advantage is gone.

Therefore, Qin Yang focused on his skills.

Now Qin Yang must have been abused terribly against Kevin Durant. He was at a disadvantage in height and breakthrough. Qin Yang would be abused in a single duel.

This is mutual restraint in terms of technical characteristics, and there is no way around it in a short time.

Qin Yang gained a lot from the match against the two rookies of the Thunder.

Especially when entering the virtual space at night, the future learning machine immediately gave a reminder: "Do you want to start the heads-up mode?"

Head-to-head mode is similar to the game mode, but it is a one-on-one game between players.

Qin Yang seldom chose heads-up, but after seeing this heads-up mode, his heart moved, and he began to fight Westbrook in the virtual training space.

One-on-one is a game that all players are unwilling to play.

Be it a star or a rookie.

Every year before the rookie draft, there will be rumors that a certain rookie beat the ass of another rookie with a high predicted pick, and then the draft picks increase significantly.

Another underperforming rookie dropped sharply.

This situation is actually very embarrassing.The strength comparison between players is not just a simple heads-up, so the heads-up is not very meaningful.

For a star, it's all about face.

There have been some debates in the league, who is better between Kobe and LeBron James, who is the league's number one center between O'Neal, Yao Ming and Howard?

These controversies have allowed the stars to get a lot of attention.

If there is really a one-on-one duel, then someone will become the second, and will always be under the pressure. This is what the star himself does not want.

Before Jordan won the championship, he was severely taught by the bad boys of the Pistons. At that time, no one thought that Jordan was No.1 in the league and No.1 in NBA history.

Therefore, everything depends on the record.

Of course, another part of the reason is that even if it is a heads-up, the final result is very embarrassing.

When Yao Ming met O'Neal, he would always be deflated. When O'Neal met Howard, his stats would be greatly reduced, while Yao Ming played happily when he met Howard.

This is an endless loop.

A cycle of mutual restraint between ball skills and physical fitness.

The same goes for point guard.

Westbrook and Qin Yang are two different types of players. Westbrook's physical fitness is almost invincible, and carrying people is to break through the inside.

Qin Yang relied on his height and skills, mainly shooting near the three-point line.

It's actually very embarrassing for the two to single out.

Usually, the two don't really match up.

In the virtual training room, Qin Yang faced Westbrook and was abused by each other. During the abuse, Qin Yang's defensive strength also improved significantly.

Many defensive players in the league have a lot of game experience, because they are abused more, and their defense can be improved.

On the second day, the Cavaliers resumed training.

Qin Yang still completed the strength training meticulously. After a training session, he was sweating all over his body.

"Bruce, your strength is increasing very quickly." James was also practicing strength at the side, and said so during the training interval.

"Thank you," Qin Yang smiled, and looked at James enviously: "I am still far behind you, but I don't expect to be so strong, as long as I don't suffer in the first and second positions."

"I think it will be done soon." James nodded, and seemed to say casually: "How is your agent? I mentioned it before, but the team manager reported that many advertisers could not find your agent."
