Chapter 852 Another accident
In the last game, the Celtics were in such a good state that they were rubbed on the ground by the Mavericks. Now it is too difficult for the Celtics to win again.
Even when the commentator is commenting before the game, it is not about winning or losing.
"The biggest suspense in this round of the series is what stats Bruce can get per game in the finals?"
"There is no Kevin Durant to take the ball this season, which is another good news for Bruce. 56+13 in the last game may be a bit too good, but it is very possible for Bruce to get 40+10 data."
"This is already the craziest performance in the finals in NBA history. Why does everyone feel dissatisfied?"
……
The Celtics were a little discouraged when they played.
It's not that they don't want to win, but that the Celtics felt so good in the last game, and Qin Yang reversed every three-pointer they made.
After a game, the momentum has deteriorated a lot.
So now the Celtics are holding on, but it feels obviously wrong.This situation is very obvious in the game.
It was clear from the start of the game.
The Celtics' pass is to cooperate with outside passes and cuts, find misplacements, find open positions and cut layups.
But today the Mavericks lineup is very restrained.
Cousins and Gobert partnered on the inside, Qin Yang, Paul George, and Corey Brewer on the outside, and each was better than the other on defense.
The Celtics failed to find a chance after several outside passes.
And then...Gordon Hayward strikes the iron.Immediately after Tatum hit the iron, Jaylen Brown hit the iron.
The Celtics started to mess up outside.
Coach Stevenson called a timeout, but the situation didn't improve much. In just over a minute, the Celtics lost their rhythm again.
This kind of lineup that pays attention to the cooperation of outside pass and cut is the most test of the core quality.This quality is not a player's singles, not a player's personal offensive ability with the ball, nor is it passing, but teamwork and character.
The Warriors are great, and the biggest advantage lies in Curry.
Curry can give up part of the ball and take the initiative to give up the ball. This kind of team leader's style can infect his teammates, and the team can be twisted into one rope to burst out the strongest strength.
This is where others can't.
The only people in the league who can do this are Qin Yang and Curry.
This is why James claims to be a waste of his teammates.Everything you are good at has to be taken care of, and what you are not good at is handed over to your teammates. If you don't give your teammates room to display their talents, how will you play the game.
The Celtics are kind of like that.
The boss of the team didn't make it clear, and kept hitting the iron under the defense.
This group of people didn't have much idea of winning the championship. At this time, they are more interested in statistics.
But the teammates kept hitting the iron, and everyone's mentality was different.
Since other people's moves are forged, why not do it yourself, I am more confident in making moves.
All potential superstars basically have this kind of self-confidence.
But this time it's bad.
As soon as the thoughts in my heart changed, I unconsciously had thoughts when passing the ball, and this thought became stronger after my teammates hit the iron, and then I started to increase my shots.
Teammates take more shots, and others will also increase their shots.
On the surface, the Celtics are still using the original tactics, but if you observe carefully, you can see that the Celtics are in chaos.
The team is in a mess, it's not easy to lead.
Stevenson called a timeout again and fell silent.
This matter cannot be changed.
Things seemed to be going well.
Qin Yang continued to play in the second quarter, scoring 32 points and 8 assists in the half, completely suppressing the Celtics.
But in the third quarter, an accident happened.
Paul George stepped on Jaylen Brown's call while defending, and fell directly to the ground, showing a painful look.
The game was quickly suspended and Paul George was replaced.
Although the result has not yet come out, this time has also become a turning point in the game.
In the third quarter, the Mavericks narrowed the point difference by 7 points.
Qin Yang watched anxiously from the audience.
Cousins is very strong, but he is not stable enough at critical moments. After being fouled, his temper is very irritable, and his free throw percentage is just [-]%. The Mavericks are constantly narrowing the point difference.
During the break in the third quarter, Qin Yang greeted his teammates full of teammates.
"Don't worry about Paul's injury. After the game, we will go to the hospital to see him, but we must win this game. In the fourth quarter, we must play with momentum and let them know where the gap is with the strong teams."
Qin Yang spoke with great enthusiasm.
Both Cousins and McGee shouted enthusiastically.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Cousins left the field with five fouls.
During the relatively short production time of Nurkic, Cousins has a heavy task, but Cousins has not made much progress in controlling fouls.
After Cousins went off, Dirk Nowitzki played.
At the age of 40, playing on the stage of the NBA Finals is not something ordinary people can do.
Even the commentary was a sensation.
Charles Barkley couldn't help but admire: "Dirk is the kind of player who is truly admirable. No matter how he performs, I am his fan."
O'Neal:
"During my career, the players I admire include Dirk Nowitzki."
Dirk Nowitzki played, more symbolically than practically.
Dirk is old and the offensive end is okay, but the defensive end can't keep up with the forward players.
But... Dirk was just making up the numbers.
Qin Yang turned on the God-killing mode again in the fourth quarter.With a direct attack, a combination of off-ball and on-ball, the Celtics called a timeout twice.The point difference that was supposed to be reversed widened in the blink of an eye.
Qin Yang led the team to victory with 57 points and 13 assists in a single game.
If Paul George played well in the first game and the Mavericks relied on overall strength to win, then Qin Yang really carried the team alone in this game.
Paul George played for more than one quarter and was absent due to injury. Qin Yang played for more than three quarters, carrying the team forward.
The Celtics' strong lineup was rubbed against the ground by Qin Yang.
Technically, the Celtics were completely beaten.
In the post-match press conference, Qin Yang still praised the Celtics:
"They are a strong team. The game has just started. Now I won't think about this game and the next game. Next, we will go to the hospital to see Paul and hope he can recover as soon as possible."
Originally, many media were planning to praise Qin Yang, but they changed immediately after hearing this.
Paul George's accidental injury was the biggest accident of the game.
Normally, the Celtics are really no match for the Mavericks, and there's nothing to say about that.
But now...the Celtics have their chance.
When Qin Yang led the team to the hospital, he saw Paul George with a sad face and extremely depressed.
