Chapter 148: 1-3 Behind
The Lakers' home court is actually the least atmospheric home in the league.
Staples Arena is a public arena, and most of the fans who come to Staples Arena to watch the game are not fans of a certain superstar, but for leisure time.
Ticket prices of hundreds or thousands of dollars limit the number of fans who can bring the atmosphere.
Most of the fans who come here are middle-class and very sensible.
Unlike teams such as the Nuggets, Mavericks, and Pistons, the home atmosphere at Staples Arena is average, and the enthusiastic cheers are not only given to Kobe Bryant and other Lakers players, but even Qin Yang has a wonderful five-ball match.
Comparatively speaking, Lakers fans are a bit more demanding.
In this case, the Cavaliers still lost without any suspense, which speaks for itself.
In the third game, James performed slightly better in 8 of 23, with 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and the data is still relatively bright, but the efficiency is slightly worse.
The best performers in this game were Kobe Bryant and Gasol.
Pau Gasol was 12 of 14, he was simply omnipotent, and he got 26 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in a frenzy.
Bryant took less than 20 shots for the first time in the playoffs, 12-of-17, and was super efficient with 27 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, which was the second-highest in the playoffs this season and the second time he had more than 6 assists.
Bynum made 14 shots, the highest in the playoffs, with 15 points and 13 rebounds, and his performance was also impressive.
The Lakers played well almost as a team and played impeccably.
Qin Yang pitted his teammates in this game, shooting 8 of 21, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 4 under the basket, 11 mid-range shots, and 4 shots, which was quite dismal.
The Lakers put Qin Yang to shoot from mid-range, strictly guarding against three-point shots and basket offense, which made Qin Yang distressed.
The mid-range shooting percentage was less than three-pointers, and Qin Yang's flaws were magnified to this extent for the first time.
The media, which was still coaxing the Lakers infighting in the last game and the Cavaliers' inevitable victory, began to tout the strong strength of the Lakers after this game, and Kobe Bryant was extremely dominant.
There is no such thing as discipline in the media.
After this game, the Cavaliers were in a low mood.
The difference in strength between the two sides is obvious, and the Cavaliers have almost no chances.
The day after the end of the race, the 9th.
The Cavaliers conduct recovery training.
Qin Yang also lowered his head and didn't speak, and after resuming training, he carried out mid-range emergency stop jump shooting training, but even the shooting rate in the open position was relatively average.
James was also practicing mid-range shots and three-point shots on the side, but James' shooting percentage was much worse than Qin Yang's.
In between training, James took the energy drink, handed it to Qin Yang, and asked:
"What's your idea for the next game?"
Qin Yang shook his head: "It's hard to play, our inside strength is obviously weaker, my mid-range shooting rate is a little poor, Mo Williams and Delonte don't stand up, the game is very difficult to play." ”
Qin Yang didn't say that James was bad.
If James' mid-range and three-point shooting are accurate, then the game will still be played, but it's impossible.
The Cavaliers are one of the league's most famous three-point shooters, averaging 23 three-pointers per game.
But this is not to say that the Cavaliers' three-point shots are very powerful, in fact, in addition to Qin Yang's three-point shots are more reliable, Dronte West and Mo Williams' three-point shots are relatively average, and when they encounter strong defense, their three-point shots are unreliable.
Most of the Cavaliers' three-point shots relied on James' open shots after attracting defense.
The most powerful thing about Dronte West is that he is versatile, can break through, can defend, can pass, and shoot relatively averagely.
Mo Williams is known for his mid-range pullup jump shot and good three-point shooting, but not great.
Qin Yang and Delonte West played, but the offensive end was not strong enough, and Qin Yang and Mo Williams played, and the defensive end was not strong enough.
In other words, it's almost impossible to blow up the Lakers from the outside.
Inside, the Lakers have too much advantage.
Last night, Qin Yang played against the Lakers again in the virtual training space, no matter how hard Qin Yang tried, he couldn't win, Kobe released a part of the ball, and when he combined with the ball and without the ball, it was almost impossible to defend, and the Lakers' three-high lineup plus Kobe Bryant had too much advantage.
"You have to work hard in the next game, otherwise you won't have to play."
James was in a low mood.
"Actually, it's not impossible." Qin Yang tried to speak, thinking of a way that was not a solution.
"What's the solution?"
James' eyes lit up.
Qin Yang hesitated for a moment and said: "The Lakers' lineup is slow, if we can play fast attack, we still have a chance, but in this case, LeBron must play power forward." ”
James plays power forward, and defending Pau Gasol is not necessarily a disadvantage.
In this way, if James gets the rebound and makes a long pass directly, the three people on the outside can directly break fast.
The Lakers have a strong lineup, but they are also flawed.
Kobe Bryant is not young, he can't run fast, and the old fish Fisher is even slower.
Inside Bynum and Pau Gasol are not known for their speed, and it can be said that the Lakers have a natural disadvantage in defending the fast break.
If he breaks fast, Qin Yang's three-point threat is greatly increased, and the Cavaliers' offense can most of them play.
This is the only way for the Cavaliers.
It's just that James hesitated when he heard this, and didn't say anything.
James is a big forward and plays fast offense, so who is the core of the tactics? It must be Qin Yang, Qin Yang will get most of the shots, offensive passes are the main ones, James' statistics will be very poor, and more energy will be focused on defense and rebounding, such tactics are .......
Qin Yang didn't say much.
This is not the way to go.
When playing the Magic team, Howard blew up the Cavaliers on the inside, if it wasn't for James and Qin Yang on the outside, the Magic team would have collapsed, and most of the eliminated were the Cavaliers.
The disadvantage of the inside line is obvious, and the game is too difficult to play.
No. 10, the Lakers' home court, Game 4 of the Finals.
The game is still the same tactic as before.
Kobe Bryant still played very restrained, did not attack much with the ball, mostly catch-and-shoot and open cut layups, and was very efficient, and Pau Gasol and Odom got a lot of possession.
James worked hard.
Qin Yang also worked hard.
And then lost.
All-round gaps. And Qin Yang played even worse in this game, shooting 3 of 11 in the middle distance, and the Cavaliers of the pit don't want it.
At the end of the game, Qin Yang secretly vowed that he would practice mid-range shooting hard next year.
After the game, TNT organized experts to explain the four matches that have been played in the finals.
When talking about Qin Yang, experts have this to say:
"Bruce Qin is the best rookie of the season, if not the No. 1 one, not far from Derrick Rose."
"But Qin Yang is not without flaws, for example, in the finals, Qin Yang played averagely, far less dazzling than before the playoffs."
