Chapter 98
James has spoken, and the atmosphere of the team immediately becomes dignified.

That day, after the team disbanded, Mo Williams, Delonte West and others rarely went to nightclubs to have fun, nor did they go out to fool around.

Everyone went home quietly.

So much so that Qin Yang saw other players returning to the training field one after another not long after training the next day.

"Hey, why are you here so early today?"

Qin Yang greeted Mo Williams with a smile, and Mo Williams shrugged and shouted: "Anyway, there is nothing to do, come to practice for a while, after all, it is the playoffs."

Although Mo Williams said he wanted to train, he lacked interest.

Shooting, one-on-one, and three-person games all performed poorly. Obviously, after James asked everyone on the team to work and rest normally, the players were abnormal.

This is not a good sign!

But James didn't say a word and was still training, with a serious face.

"Wally, this is not good!" Qin Yang carefully expressed his concerns to Szczerbiak. Sometimes it is not a good thing for players to change their normal schedule.

If you usually restrain yourself, there is no problem at this time, but this sudden appearance will put a lot of psychological pressure on the players.

This affects the state very much.

"It's okay, believe me, this is the best choice. If you are exposed by the media at this time and go to a nightclub to have fun after the game, do you think it will be a good thing?"

Szczerbiak has been in the league for a long time and is already used to it.

Qin Yang thought about it, and he was right.

It is impossible to win all the playoffs, and it is even difficult to win the championship. In this case, if you are exposed to go to a nightclub, you will be blamed and cause a lot of trouble.

So, the best way is to keep a low profile during this sensitive period.

"It's better to take care of yourself, don't worry about it so much." Qin Yang made a choice silently in his heart, "The playoffs are much more difficult than the regular season, so we can't judge by the regular season."

Qin Yang trained silently and didn't pay much attention to it.

This is James' team, and it's not appropriate for Qin Yang to manage it.

After two days of rest, the Cavaliers prepared for the game in a low-key manner, while Qin Yang played against the Pistons in the virtual training ground every night. The six playoff-level confrontations made Qin Yang grow a lot.

On the 21st, after an interval of two days, the second game began.

In the second game, the Cavaliers' starting lineup did not change.

From the end of this season, Varejao gradually replaced Ben Wallace as the team's starter. Ben Wallace couldn't shoot, and his defensive ability was poor. It was not suitable to partner with James. Especially after Ben Wallace was injured for a month, the main position was gradually replaced by Varejao.

To be honest, the current salary of the Cavaliers is quite unreliable.

The Cavaliers player with the highest salary this season is Ben Wallace. Yes, Ben Wallace, who averaged 3 points and 6 rebounds per game this season, received a salary of 1450 million US dollars. Yes, this salary is close to the popular salary of the All-Stars, and this is what Ben Wallace got.

The Cavaliers manager has really worked hard to find a helper for James in the past few seasons.

But that also proved wrong.

James' salary this season ranks second at $1400 million, and Szczerbiak ranks third at $1378 million. Yes, Szczerbiak, who has not played many games off the bench this season, is the third-highest paid player on the Cavaliers.

After this is the big Z with a salary of tens of millions.

Mo Williams' salary of 800 million US dollars is relatively cheap, and Delonte West's salary of 600 million is relatively affordable.

Of course, the most affordable one is Qin Yang, whose original salary is only 50 US dollars.

This salary is at the bottom of the league.

This contract was also rated as the most cost-effective contract this season at the end of the regular season.Other players who performed well were paid very low salaries, but compared to Qin Yang's, it was really nothing.

The performance and salary of the Cavaliers players are completely inappropriate and become the most embarrassing thing.

Once the contract is agreed, there is no room for negotiation, otherwise the team's thoughts will be more complicated.

At the beginning of the game, Big Z jumped the ball successfully. On the first ball, after James attracted the defense, Mo Williams received a pass from Varejao and made a mid-range hit.

After the first goal was scored, the two sides began to fight with iron.

Rasheed Wallace's mid-range shot was well defended by Big Z, and he hit the iron.

Mo Williams strikes the iron.

Hamilton struck iron.

Varejao made a mistake.

James is strong enough to rebound
……

In 9 minutes of the game, the Cavaliers only led 16-12.

The Cavaliers played very simple in these 9 minutes. If it wasn't for Rasheed Wallace's poor state and 4 of 1 shots, the Cavaliers would definitely fall behind at home.

The game was suspended and the Cavaliers took the lead in making substitutions.

Qin Yang came on, Varejao went off, the Cavaliers changed formation, and James moved to the inside position, responsible for defense and rebounding.

Within 9 minutes, Varejao worked hard and got two fouls. After going on like this, in less than three quarters, Varejao left the field with 6 fouls.

The Cavaliers attack.

Qin Yang didn't hold the ball this time, Mo Williams held the ball across the half, Qin Yang moved to the right to attract the defense, Stucky couldn't defend Qin Yang this time, and Hamilton followed closely.

But this time, Qin Yang ran directly to Delonte West, and then got rid of the defense with the help of Delonte and the opposing players.

Down the baseline, James passed the ball, and Qin Yang received the pass under the basket.

McDyess and Hamilton pounced directly from both sides. This position is one step away from the basket, and they can reach the basket as long as they raise their hands.

With Qin Yang's height, he scored with a backhand dunk.

The two were very anxious and rushed forward. Qin Yang made a gesture to dunk the ball.

But the next moment, the basketball in Qin Yang's hand disappeared, and James received an assist and directly scored with a dunk.

At the basket, Qin Yang directly hit the ground and passed the ball to James when he met the two defenders. When James rushed to grab the rebound, he directly received the pass and dunked.

Bang!

Quicken Loans recalled the cheers.

This dunk is really exciting.

Qin Yang tricked two defenders by himself.

Pistons attack.

Qin Yang defended Hamilton, at the bottom line. Hamilton ran back again, Stuckey passed the ball, Qin Yang pretended to be shaken away, and flew to steal the next moment Stucky passed the ball.

Such a tactical pass seems simple, but it is easy to be intercepted if you are not careful.

Stucky didn't look at Qin Yang's running position. The ball passed a little slower and was intercepted by Qin Yang.

After the steal, Qin Yang directly accelerated the breakthrough.

Qin Yang's explosive power is not strong, but his speed is also lightning fast, and most of the Pistons players can't keep up.

Hamilton next to him kept trying to interfere with Qin Yang's layup, and when he got to the basket, Hamilton flew forward and took a step forward, provoking it high.

If Qin Yang made a normal layup, it would be a blocked shot.

The playoffs are really hard.
