Chapter 537 Battle of the Century?
On the first ball, Thackeray made James Harden an offensive foul. James Harden wanted to appeal, but he was not recognized.
The team stabilized a little bit.
But still hard to beat.
Howard has an obvious advantage in inside rebounds, and Harden has been attacking. It is difficult for the Mavericks to open the score. The point difference between the two teams almost increases alternately.
At 4 minutes into the second quarter, Qin Yang took a rest.
The Rockets opened up the score in waves.
Fortunately, at this time, Nowitzki stepped up and scored consecutively to stabilize the situation, but the disadvantage of the inside line was helpless.
At this time, Al Jefferson's disadvantage came out. Facing Howard, Al Jefferson's performance was relatively average.
The efficiency is no different from the general outside line, and there is no advantage in rebounding.
Qin Yang and Nowitzki's outside shots were still above the standard line, but the team's point gap was difficult to close. It was not until the beginning of the fourth quarter that the Mavericks began to exert their strength with the help of Qin Yang.
Qin Yang made a three-pointer, Casspi made a hit, and Nowitzki made a layup.
Francisco Garcia hits the shot.
The Mavericks attacked in waves, scored sharply on the fast break, and directly opened the score. The Rockets were beaten and forced, and had no strength to fight back.
In the end, although the Rockets wanted to reverse, the Mavericks stabilized and did not give the Rockets a chance.
116-113, the Mavericks won the game again.
本场比赛，詹姆斯哈登17中11，拿到34分4篮板3助攻的数据。这效率要逆天了。
He made 8 of 4 three-pointers and 9 of 8 free throws.
With 17 shots, he scored 34 points, and one of them scored two points. If it counts as two points, James Harden's shooting rate is 100%.
Horror!
But after the game, the Rockets were not so happy.
Howard was obviously dissatisfied after the game: "The team should do better defensively, we need to be more focused, otherwise it will be difficult to win no matter how many points we score,"
Howard had 13 points and 16 rebounds in this game, which is a good number.
But no ball.
Fewer possessions than your Magic.
After the game, Howard called Qin Yang: "If I knew this, I might as well play with you in Dallas."
Howard's displeasure was palpable.
Qin Yang didn't say a word. If Howard and Qin Yang played together, the number of shots per game would be roughly the same number, not much higher.
Unless Howard can straighten his mind, otherwise, the two will also have conflicts together.
This is a necessity.
"On the other hand, James Harden also complained to Qin Yang after the game: "He didn't come to assist me at all. "
Qin Yang can only comfort James Harden, things will get better and better.
What can Qin Yang do? Qin Yang is very desperate!
On November 11, back home, the Mavericks faced the Grizzlies.
This game was not a big fight, and the Grizzlies and Mavericks didn't have any major animosity, but before the game, the media made a lot of reports on this game.
TNT news:
"Traditional inside centers in the NBA are becoming rarer and rarer, but in the past two seasons, two insiders have performed very well, especially on the offensive end. The other insiders playing can't hold their heads up. These two people, one is Zach Randolph and the other is Al Jefferson. This game will be the battle of the century between the two."
Nima, where did the battle of the century come from?
When Qin Yang saw his teammates discussing the news, his face turned dark.
But that’s what happens to the players, and Al Jefferson even treated guests to dinner in the team, letting go of his wild words: “Everyone will pass the ball to me in this game, and I will fight Zach to the death to let them know who is the best center forward.”
Qin Yang was in despair when he heard this.
After pulling Al Jefferson aside, Qin Yang asked solemnly:
"Do you want stats or do you want to win?"
Al Jefferson froze for a moment.
After being dazed for a while, Al Jefferson replied: "Of course I want to win. I've got a lot of data, but it's useless."
Since Al Jefferson was traded to the Timberwolves, his data has been consistently long.
Averaged 20+10 per game for two consecutive seasons.
But... only got the title of a data brush.The most important reason for Al Jefferson to enter the Mavericks this season is to want to win and want a championship.
Qin Yang's strength and ability to lead the team have been recognized, won the championship with Howard, and quickly won the championship with the Kings.After leaving Qin Yang, Howard changed several teams, all of which were weak, and the Kings were even weaker.Al Jefferson wasn't smart, but he wasn't stupid either. If he followed Qin Yang, he would win and have meat to eat, so why would he commit suicide.
"In this case……"
Qin Yang patted Al Jefferson's arm: "In the next game, you should reduce your shots. On the defensive end, pay attention to topping people, and on the offensive end, pay attention to receiving and shooting the ball. If there is no chance, don't force it. Pass it to teammates who are open outside. We can win this game."
"it is good!"
Al Jefferson nodded.
Qin Yang said it all, and Al Jefferson must have no objection.
Being able to win is more important than anything else. Otherwise, no matter how good the data is, the team will lose the data.
The game officially begins.
The team's inside starters are Al Jefferson and Nowitzki.
On the first ball, Marc Gasol jumped the ball successfully. After halftime, the Grizzlies Mike Conley broke through directly with the help of a screen, and Vince Carter was a step slower.
After reaching the inside, Conley made an easy layup.
Al Jefferson's defense is simply not in place.
Qin Yang stood on the court, grabbed Al directly, and said: "Defense, Al, you have to pay attention to defense. You can defend well, but you have to defend."
Al Jefferson nodded.
Sometimes it is also a good thing to be urged and reprimanded, because it shows that the team and players care about you, otherwise there would be no such opportunity.
Al Jefferson would be fine.
The Mavericks attack.
Qin Yang dribbled the ball from the outside and made a mid-range shot with the first ball.
The one defending Qin Yang was Tony Allen. This kind of player, Qin Yang is the most annoying, but this is not the playoffs, the defensive scale is small, and Qin Yang's touch is not bad.
The Grizzlies attack.
Zach Randolph got the ball in his position and singled Al Jefferson.
Zach was also a stat brush before, and the remarks before the game obviously had some influence on Zach, because Zach Randolph has been well received in recent years.
A real giant, a real C king, are all used to describe him.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the cup is C.
After getting the ball, Zach leaned against Al Jefferson, but did not move. This time Zach knew that Al Jefferson was not easy to deal with.
In the NBA for so many years, there are not many opportunities for the two to match up.
This time, Zach Randolph had gathered enough strength, Zach Randolph made a low hook on the first ball, the basketball bumped a bit, and finally made a hit.
The Mavericks attack.
Al Jefferson didn't rush into the inside after the screen, but stood on the left with Gao Wei.
At this stop, Zach Randolph could only follow.
Al Jefferson will play well with the wrong guy in the wrong position.
On the right side, Nowitzki moved on the baseline, Vince Carter and Nowitzki had an off-ball screen, Qin Yang broke through halfway and passed directly to Vince Carter.
Vince Carter made a direct inside dunk.
Marc Gasol is on the right side, Zach Randolph is on the left side, and the inside line is empty. Even if Vince Carter doesn't make an air cut, it is easy for Qin Yang to break into the inside line and score after breaking through.
The problem of the Grizzlies has not changed in the past two years.
Whether it is to trade Mayo or Rudy Gay, it is not the key.
The game is still not difficult to play.
