Chapter 362 The Difference Between Point Guards
On December 12, the Kings played against the Clippers at home.

After all, the Clippers are a team in Los Angeles. In the past, the record was too poor to attract people, but now after the arrival of Chris Paul, they are playing more and more exciting, and the record is getting better and better. It quickly attracted the attention of the league and fans.

This game has received media attention before the game.

The battle for the number one point guard in the NBA has been brought up again.

Although Qin Yang has the title of the number one point guard, it is not solid.

It’s as if Howard is the No. [-] center in the NBA, but before Yao Ming met Howard, he played very casually. Howard met some ordinary centers, and his performance was not so dominant. Therefore, the No. [-] center was questioned.

The same is true for Qin Yang's first point guard.

When he was in the Cavaliers, Qin Yang didn't get such high praise, so naturally he didn't have so much trouble.

When he was in the Magic team, Qin Yang had Howard and other superstars by his side. Although the record was very good, there were still doubts.

Now that Qin Yang has come to the Kings, there are still doubts.

In recent years, the league has produced many strong point guards.

Nash and Kidd are old men, Paul and Deron are tied, behind Qin Yang and Rose are fighting for hegemony, and behind them are Westbrook, Curry, and James Harden.

The current point guard battle is a bit like the shooting guard battle after 00.

At that time, Iverson, Kobe, Carter, McGrady and others competed to shine, and no one was convinced, and now the point guard is similar.

Before the game, in an interview, Qin Yang was very low-key.

Qin Yang:

"Chris Paul is my predecessor. When I lost the draft, I met Paul to get a chance. I always think that Chris Paul is one of the best point guards in the league. I think it is a bit different in terms of point guards."

Qin Yang was not in a hurry to say how awesome he was.

After all, the NBA is an American league. It is not easy for Qin Yang to be on a par with other American players, or even faintly overwhelm them.

At this time, it is unrealistic to want to suppress all American point guard players.

Make a fortune in a low-key manner. When the Kings' records exploded and won the championship, Qin Yang didn't speak, and the media praised Qin Yang.

Chris Paul also praised Qin Yang in an interview: "He is a very unique point guard. I dare say that any point guard in the league would not dare to face him in the whole court, because he feels more like a power forward."

Chris Paul's teasing tone also explained a lot of problems.

Qin Yang is indeed too different.

Playing point guard at this height, there is only Magic Johnson in history.

However, the age of Magic Johnson is too long. Strictly speaking, Johnson played many positions at that time, including center and small forward, so the reference value is not great.

At the start of the game, Jordan jumped the ball and passed the ball directly.

Cousins ​​was a little slower.

Clippers offense.

On the first ball, Chris Paul played singles with the ball.

Paul's singles are very interesting, he is not in a hurry, he directs the others in front of him to move, and he controls the ball to control the whole court.

The outside line gave up twice, but Paul was not in a hurry.

When he found an opportunity, Paul suddenly accelerated and broke through. Francisco Garcia didn't react at all, and was accelerated by Paul.

Chris Paul is fast, explosive, and has a good rhythm.

After the direct breakthrough, Paul was not polite, and jumped up from the middle distance to shoot without entering the basket.

The Kings' inside defense is not weak, and it is not necessarily a good thing to really enter the inside.

Paul's attack was light this time, and he went very safely.

In the eyes of the fans, Paul's ball is a real superstar. No matter what the opponent does, I just dribble slowly, find opportunities, and easily enter the basket to score.

There is no panic at all, with the style of a general.

But Qin Yang shook his head when he saw this scene.

The kings attacked, Qin Yang chose a different way.

For the first ball, Qin Yang was not in a hurry at all. After Ray Allen made a screen, Qin Yang pretended to break through and passed it to Francisco Garcia who was running.

Qin Yang's running position attracted the defense and passed the ball to Darko in the high post.

After Darko took the ball, Qin Yang stepped forward to cover. After the screen, Qin Yang went straight down and Darko passed the ball quickly.

Qin Yang caught the ball and scored an easy layup.

Most of the offensive Kings players participated and touched the ball. The Clippers subconsciously changed their defensive focus.

In this case, the Kings scored easily.

The Clippers were attacking, but Paul was still holding the ball, looking for opportunities slowly.

This time, Paul and Griffin played a pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Paul made a very conscious pass and threw the ball to the basket.

But the next moment, Darko jumped up and broke the ball.

Paul's passing is very sharp, there is nothing wrong with it, the assist-to-turnover ratio is very high, and there are very few turnovers. As a point guard, Paul is perfect.

But...Paul is too sticky.

Too high a possession rate is not a good thing.

Qin Yang was the outside core last season, so he was aware of this situation.

At that time, only Qin Yang could attack with the ball from the outside of the Magic team. The Magic team's offense was very rigid, and many times the team could not open at all.

Many people never understand this truth.

Chris Paul may understand, but he can't.

Many times, good point guards always have the feeling that it is easy for others to control the ball, which is easy to make mistakes and strike iron. It is better to control the ball by themselves, and then find opportunities to attack or pass the ball to assist others, so that they can directly attack the basket or shoot. The shooting rate is higher.

But this is a false proposition.

Chris Paul couldn't touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals, which is one of the biggest reasons.

Stronger than Jordan, when no teammates came, he was also rubbed on the ground by the bad boys of the Pistons.

Jordan didn't dare to play singles with triangle tactics willfully until Batman and the bug arrived.

At that time, Jordan's possession rate was not as high as Chris Paul is now.

Small ball tactics and new game rules determine that off-ball tactics, screen tactics and three-point shooting tactics have become more important.

Holding the ball too much will only make teammates not know how to play.

This season, Qin Yang averaged 11.6 assists per game. This data is due to the explosion of Qin Yang's data some time ago, and his assists have increased a lot.

When the Kings attacked, Qin Yang remained calm.

Cover for teammates, open up space, actively move to attract defense, and have no idea of ​​attacking with the ball for a long time.

And when Qin Yang made a shot, or attacked with the ball, the Kings often scored in the next moment.

Everyone on the Kings participated in the distribution of the ball and played very actively.

At the beginning of the game, the Kings took advantage.

This is the difference between the two point guards.

At the end of the first quarter, Chris Paul looked ugly with his hips akimbo.

Teacher Zhang Lili said in the live broadcast room: "Paul played very well in the first quarter, but unfortunately his teammates didn't stand up."
