Chapter 10 Iverson in disguise

The Lakers' final drive was hastily executed by Anthony Davis, the basketball missed and the first quarter ended.

Rivers clapped hands with Qin Ming and said, "You did a good job."

Although he said so, Qin Ming still knew that Rivers, who had always attached importance to defense, would not allow himself to appear on the stage easily.

There may still be a chance to play in the regular season, but in the playoffs, it's hard to say.

Because the playoffs are about the fate of a team.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second quarter, Lu Wei stood on the court, while Qin Ming sat down and watched the team score.

Lu Wei felt good today. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard both wanted to let go. In just 6 minutes, Lu Wei scored 12 points. He deserves to be a top scorer and the best sixth man in the league.

"At the end of the halftime game, we failed to see Qin Ming appear again in the second quarter. This situation should improve in the second half, because Shamet's cameo as a point guard was not effective. The Clippers' substitute player did not have Lu Wei. Instead, it was a little stretched, and the offense was at a standstill."

"Qin, in the second half, you will play with Morris, Shamet, Harrell, and JaMychal Green. I hope you will take on the main role of offense. You and Morris will be the main scoring points of this lineup, and then defend. I hope you will do better."

Before entering the locker room in the second quarter, Rivers said to Qin Ming, who was bored on the bench.

The latter nodded.

Then Rivers talked about a series of team's defensive problems in the locker room.

For example, the change of defense was not clear, the opponent made several open shots, and the transition back to defense was too slow. He hoped that Morris could do this. Regarding the defense on the back line, Rivers didn't say much, because the Lakers' back line offense is not very strong, and they don't have top offensive players.

The only one who can be counted is Rondo, but he is not a player who is good at attacking alone.

"The game started in the second half. The Clippers' starting lineup is: Qin Ming, Morris, Shamet, Harrell, JaMychal Green. The Lakers' starting lineup is Caruso, Daniel Green, LeBron James, JR Smith, and Anthony Davis."

"It's interesting. The Lakers almost used the starting lineup for this game, but the Clippers used a substitute lineup. Although there is an 8-point difference between the two sides at this time, the Lakers' offense will catch up soon."

"It seems that the consumption of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard in the second quarter is large enough, or is Rivers convinced enough that this lineup can attack the opponent?"

The three commentators gave their own views respectively.

Qin Ming put away his clothes, inserted them into his trousers, and breathed out towards his palms.

In the third quarter, the Clippers kicked off.

Qin Ming received the basketball, took a deep breath, and trotted forward.

This time they are going to run a corner tactic.

Shamet will act as a scoring point. He first bypasses the double pick-and-roll of Jay Michael Green and Harrell at a 45-degree angle, and then Green will step forward to help Qin Ming defend, and Harrell will help Shamet block his defender, and then get an open three-pointer.

This tactic worked very well for the unprepared Lakers, and Shamet successfully ran out of an open spot.

At this time, Jay Michael Green also completed the pick-and-roll for Qin Ming. The latter faced Anthony Davis again.

Qin Ming gritted his teeth and slammed the basketball hard on the ground. The basketball went towards Shamet with a perfect arc.

Almost as soon as the latter ran into the open space, the ball flew over.

Shamet picks up the ball, shoots it, and it goes in.

"The Clippers' tactic worked this time."

"It's really good that people arrive at the ball."

"If Qin Ming has been playing like this this season, then the Clippers' shortcomings have been filled this season, and they have got the point guard they want."

Qin Ming and Shamet clapped hands, standing at the top of the arc and waiting for the opponent to attack.

LeBron James received the ball in the backcourt and directed his teammates' next moves.

Morris guards him.

LeBron James dribbled the ball and looked at his teammates on the court, and then looked at his palms. Just when Morris was puzzled, LeBron James stepped back and made a three-point shot, and the basketball hit the basket accurately.

"LeBron James responded immediately, telling the other party that if you want to get benefits from me, you have to continue to work hard."

"It's superstars who respond immediately after you score."

James high-fived his teammates one by one, then pointed to Qin Ming and said, "Look at this guy."

Qin Ming held the ball across the half court, and this time his teammates all stood in the bottom corner, creating a big space for him.

It's his favorite one-on-one session.

This time he looked at the shooting percentage on the ground. At this time, he was full of energy and felt good. He had all the hot spots within the three-point line, and each of them had a shooting percentage of more than 70.00%, while at a 45-degree angle from the free throw line, he had a shooting percentage of 90.00%.

Qin Ming approached Caruso with the ball, and the latter stepped forward, waiting for his next move.

After the pocket dribble, he took steps, opened his legs, and shifted his center of gravity a big step to the right. It looked like Qin Ming was about to lower himself and break through to the right. Caruso moved sideways to the right for a moment, and he knew he was being swung past.

Qin Ming used a huge arc in disguise, then raised his center of gravity, his right foot landed first, and made a cross step. He held the ball and shot, and his hit rate this time was 80.00%.

The basketball hit, and the fans at the scene were once again ignited.

The cheers were endless.

The commentator at the scene, that is, Reggie Miller, said: "My God, I seem to see the young Allen Iverson standing on the scene. How many people in this league can do such a large arc of disguise and change of center of gravity?"

"And he has fast feet and fast speed. Coupled with his shooting speed, I dare say that not many people in this league can defend against this move."

On the other hand, the live broadcast platform: "Wow, a killer crossover, directly swayed Caruso, and then made a shot. This ball is really great!"

"This kind of action is too deceptive. Iverson used this trick back then to defeat the basketball god! Now, this trick has appeared in the NBA again, and it was done by us yellow people. Tell them, we Asians can also play guards, and we can also make such terrifying disguises."

"Not to mention Caruso, even Qin Ming's teammate Beverly can't defend it!"

The three commentators almost stood up and said very excitedly.

They couldn't help being excited.
