Chapter 167: Really Strong (2nd Update)
TNT Sports News:
"The Magic made a surprise big deal in the summer of the Partridges, getting Vince Carter and Bruce Qin, although the trade has been questioned by fans, but judging from the preseason situation, the Magic seem to have made a very good trade, Vince Carter is still sharp, and Bruce Qin has completely become a superstar."
Although it was only a pre-season game and the intensity of the game was not great, some things could still be seen.
Qin Yang easily got 20+20 data in the thirty minutes he played, which is not something that can be said to be brushed out, Qin Yang's strength is really strong.
In two consecutive games, Qin Yang played very easily.
Effortlessly lead the team to victory.
Dwight on the inside, Qin Yang on the outside, the Magic team has slowly formed a superstar lineup inside and outside.
Fox Sports News:
"Maybe there's still some doubt about trading Jamil Nelson and Alston for Vince Carter, but there's no doubt that the Magic were the best team to trade this summer when they brought Bruce to Orlando, and we gave the Magic an A offseason."
Towards the end of the offseason, the media would evaluate a team for a trade.
It is divided into four ABCD items, with A+ being the best and D- being the worst.
The Magic's A rating is already outstanding.
To be able to sneak into a superstar at no cost is a big bonus for any team.
The Magic team previously abandoned Turkoglu and did not renew his contract, which was secretly complained by many media.
Turkoglou had one of the league's best value contracts last season and played so well that there was nothing bad about Turkoglou other than a slight slump in the playoffs.
For this, many media outlets have ridiculed the tactics of the Magic's uniform team.
But when the Magic team brought Qin Yang to Orlando, all the media changed their faces and praised Otis without a bit of discipline.
The pre-season continues.
After two straight games, the Magic's preseason lineup is starting to change.
In Game 3, the Magic played against the Hawks.
Qin Yang and Dwight played eight minutes before leaving the game, and the rest of the game was handed over to Vince Carter and other substitutes, who did not play much time and played well.
But the Magic played a little messy.
When the substitutes were on the field, there was no one to organize, and the game was very chaotic.
The Magic lost to the Hawks by eight points.
The preseason is mainly about practicing tactics and giving rookies a chance to adapt to the NBA, so losing is not a big problem, but the problems of the Magic team are slowly becoming apparent.
However, this is not Qin Yang's concern, Coach Van Gundy is a very focused and passionate coach.
Especially after Qin Yang showed his strength, Coach Van Gundy's last bit of guilt against Qin Yang disappeared.
Eight preseason games were over quickly, and the time was in early October.
After a week's rest, the 09-10 regular season began.
In the first game of the regular season, the Magic hosted the 76ers.
The 76ers played well last season and almost made the playoffs, although they were in the first round, but the little AI proved their strength, and the 76ers' youth guards are also considered one of the most promising teams in the league.
In this game, the 76ers' lineup is very balanced.
Elton Brand, Durham Porter, Iguodala, Thaddeus Young, Louis Williams, such a starting lineup is definitely not weak.
But as soon as the game began, the 76ers fell behind in all directions.
The 76ers' point guard is Louis Williams, a point guard who was not favored in the draft but played surprisingly well.
But when he met Qin Yang in this game, it was embarrassing.
The first ball, after Qin Yang received Howard's jump ball, he dribbled directly across the half court, Louis Williams was close to 190 tall, which was not particularly low, but at the first glance of Louis, Qin Yang just smiled.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Yang directly lowered his head and broke through.
No feints, no tricks, just push horizontally.
This breakthrough is not the same as James, James is exerting his strength to the extreme, while Qin Yang's action is to bully the other party and not be as strong as himself.
Louis was too thin, not much better than when Qin Yang first entered the alliance.
At the beginning, Louis Williams was not favored because he was thin and could not adapt to the confrontation in the NBA, but now after Qin Yang strengthened his strength, he directly carried Luis to the basket.
Louis was very fast, and he only kept up with Qin Yang.
But this is even more embarrassing, Daim Porter wants to help defend, but Luis follows closely, and there is no way.
Qin Yang directly and lightly relied on Luis to score a layup, and Luis had no chance to foul if he wanted to.
The counterpoint advantage is too great.
The head coach of the 76ers immediately shouted next to him to change the formation, and the person who defended Qin Yang became Thaddeus Young.
The 76ers attacked, Luis directly accelerated to break through, Qin Yang followed closely, until Luis entered the basket and put it to Howard, Louis made a layup, and was taken out by Howard with a big hat.
Qin Yang received the ball and made a long pass directly to Vince Carter.
Vince Carter scored on a three-step layup with an easy dunk.
The Magic team attacked, Rashad Lewis blocked and dismantled, Qin Yang broke through with the help of blocking and dismantling, Iguodala assisted in defending Qin Yang, Qin Yang did not play strongly, and directly dropped the ball to Rashad Lewis on the other side.
Lewis catches the ball and shoots, and Louis Williams next to him is helpless.
With such a dislocation, there is no way to defend at all.
The 76ers attacked, Iguodala attacked with the ball, and it was Petrus who defended Iguodala, Iguodala did not break through and gave it to Elton Brand, who hit a hook shot in the low post.
The 76ers lack a very good organization, the defense is not weak but not strong enough, the offensive end is not solid enough, and the flaws are obvious.
With the help of cover, Qin Yang quickly opened up the situation.
6 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, Qin Yang played easily, the Magic team led by 9 points, and when it came to the second quarter, Ryan Anderson and Redick played, and the Magic team went crazy in a single quarter.
Ryan Anderson was 4 of 6, Redick was 3 of 4, and Blandonbass was 2 of 3, and the three of them broke out completely in a single quarter under Qin Yang's organization.
The Magic team was 41-19, crushing strongly.
After halftime, the Magic led by 31 points.
This point difference is simply terrifying, the 76ers' Guards Legion was directly stunned, and even Iguodala, the boss of the 76ers, didn't know what to do.
In this game, Qin Yang played 26 minutes and left the game.
Howard was very happy after the game, Howard played 21 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocks in this game, and played very well.
"The Magic are on the right path, the big lead, it's not an accident, it's something we won, the Magic are very strong, that's the real reason why we're leading."
