Chapter 1050
The Pacers' defense is actually pretty good. Hibbert and West are on the inside, Granger is on the front line, George and Hill are on the back line. Several players have very good defensive capabilities, and the combination is even better. a rigorous system.

This is why some people are optimistic about the Pacers.

If it were the same as before, Qin Hao would still have some troubles facing such a team. He could only use outside shooting to contain the defense, and then use his speed to find opportunities to break through, try to draw fouls, and kill the opponent's inside line.

But now that the "breakthrough ability" has changed, and the floor is longer, it will be much easier for Qin Hao to tear through the opponent's defense.

After a pick-and-roll, Qin Hao shook off Hill. Hibbert came up and was delayed. Qin Hao chuckled and went straight to Hibbert. He was about to hit him. Qin Hao suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, leaned sideways, and With Hibbert breaking through the past.There was a flat road in front of him, and Qin Hao took advantage of the situation to make a layup.

Seeing Qin Hao breaking through and scoring, several players of the Pacers exchanged a look to further strengthen the defense against Qin Hao, which was exactly in Qin Hao's hands.

In the next round, Qin Hao still wanted to break through the pick-and-roll, but this time he didn't go up by himself, but restrained Hibbert, and then hit the ground to pass the ball. The basketball bounced off Hibbert's feet and flew to the inside.

"Not good." Hibbert's face changed, and he heard a "bang" sound from behind.

Nene dunked with both hands, powerful and domineering.

In the next few rounds, Qin Hao broke through again and again, and after attracting the defense, he sent a wonderful pass for Nene and Speights, or assisted Nene to eat cakes at the basket, or attracted the defense and passed the ball back to Speights. Mid-range hit.
For a while, Nene and Speights, who were suppressed by the Pacers inside, scored consecutively. Although it was still difficult to restrain Hibbert + West on the defensive end, they were not inferior on the offensive end.

Unknowingly, the 76ers have caught up with the score and overtook it by two points.

"beep"

Coach Vogel called a timeout.

After several players came down, Coach Vogel said with a solemn expression, "Next, we have to further strengthen our defense against Qin, cut off his passing route, and cut off the connection between him and the inside players."

"Yes." Several players nodded in unison.

In the past few minutes, Hibbert and West have played very well and scored a lot of points, but the opponent is also scoring inside, because Qin Hao can always send them wonderful passes, allowing them to score more points than Hibbert and Weiss Very simple.

So the root cause still lies in Qin Hao.

The 76ers here.

Coach Luke looked at Qin Hao and reminded: "Qin, the opponent will probably strengthen their attack on you later."

"I understand." Qin Hao smiled slightly, "Just let them come."

Seeing Qin Hao's confidence, Coach Luke couldn't help laughing, spread out the tactical board, and arranged: "The opponent will further strengthen the defense against Qin later, you should give him more cover. In addition, we have to run, we We need to speed up the pace and dismember the opponent's defensive system as much as possible, understand?"

"Understood." Several people responded in unison.

The pause ends soon.

When the two sides returned to the field, the Pacers began to further strengthen their defense against Qin Hao. As soon as they saw Qin Hao holding the ball, someone came to help defend, forcing Qin Hao to score the ball in advance.

It's a pity that the Pacers underestimated Qin Hao.

Qin Hao faced Hill, and George was next to him, ready to jump over to help defend at any time. Qin Hao glanced at the basket, chuckled, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and his left shoulder sank.Hill retreated quickly, and George also rushed over. The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, blocked Qin Hao's breakthrough route and prevented him from passing easily.

However, Qin Hao didn't want to break through. He took a quick step back, stepped back outside the three-point line, tapped his toes, and quickly jumped up to make a three-point shot.

Swish!
With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

Hill was a little depressed, and George also felt helpless, too difficult to guard against.

When the Pacers changed their defense, cut off the connection between Qin Hao and the inside players, and prevented him from feeding Nene and Speights, Qin Hao stepped up his personal offense.

Whether it was a three-pointer from the outside or a breakthrough throw, Qin Hao scored 7 points in a short time. Qin Hao scored 9 points just after halfway through the first quarter, helping the 76ers lead by 6 points.

Coach Vogel smiled wryly. It was really a headache to meet this kind of player who can shoot and pass suddenly.

It seems that it can only be double-teamed!

Generally speaking, when two teams play against each other, one of the teams has a player with very strong personal ability, and the other team will not double-team at the beginning, because double-teaming means missing people and taking risks.

For example, in this game, Coach Vogel didn't intend to double-team Qin Hao at the beginning. First, observe and test to see how Qin Hao's state is today. If the state is average and the hand feels bad, then there is no need for double-teaming .Even if you keep an eye on the others and let Qin Hao play alone, if he is not in good shape, can he carry the entire team by himself?
But now Qin Hao is in great condition, feels hot, has breakthroughs, passes, and three-pointers. If he doesn't double-team, he may really be defeated by him alone.

At this time, the Pacers can only take risks, double-team Qin Hao, try to limit Qin Hao, and then let the rest of the 76ers play. If the rest of the 76ers don't play well, then the Pacers will make money .

But at this time, the first quarter had passed, and coach Luke started to replace Qin Hao, so coach Vogel calmed down for the time being and waited until the second quarter to double-team Qin Hao.

The two sides replaced the substitute lineup.

The 76ers still have the upper hand. Mozkov, Brand, Kaka, Lu Wei, and Holiday. Although this lineup is not as good as the starting lineup, it is not weak.

It's just that Brand has become a loophole again.

The Pacers also put on a substitute lineup, but George still stayed on the field. I saw him make a sudden stop after a breakthrough and lifted the ball. Brand jumped up to block the shot, but he was fooled. , George didn't jump, waited for him to jump, made a foul, and scored the ball.

When George went to the free throw line and made an extra free throw, and scored 2+1, Coach Luke's face became ugly. The performance of Brand can no longer be described as disappointment, but despair.

Brand played well in the regular season last season, but he stretched his hips in the playoffs. The defensive end became a loophole.

This season, his state has declined sharply. Not only is the regular season worse than last season, but after the playoffs, his old problems have recurred.

Pulling your hips as soon as it comes to the playoffs, and playing so badly against a second-year player like George, you jump when he makes a fake move, how flustered are you?

This mental quality.
