Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1054 Six criminals graduate
"Three offenses." Coach Vogel sighed helplessly. He originally thought that Hibbert and West would be smarter and could hold on until the end of this quarter.

The result was still unsuccessful.

Coach Vogel naturally saw that the 76ers were doing damage to Hibbert and West, but the 76ers also suffered a lot of blocks and lost some balls, allowing the Pacers to seize the opportunity. The difference between the two sides was reduced to only 1 point.

So Coach Vogel intends to persevere until the end of this quarter, maybe he can take the lead at the end of halftime.

unfortunately
"Substitution." Coach Vogel made a substitution, replacing Hibbert, leaving only West on top.

Iguodala went to the free throw line, but unfortunately only made one of the two free throws, but it is always a good thing to get Hibbert down.

At this time, there is actually not much time left in the second quarter, but without Hibbert in the paint, the 76ers' offense will be much easier to play.In addition, West also suffered 3 fouls. Although he stayed on the court, he did not dare to defend without scruples. Qin Hao hit the basket one after another, scored a layup by himself, and imploded a dunk with an assist.

By the end of the second quarter, the 76ers led by 4 points.

After all, the Pacers failed to take the lead before halftime. Although the point difference was not big, Coach Vogel and even the Pacers players looked ugly.

The game is not only based on the score, but also depends on the situation of the two sides. The current situation is not very favorable for the Pacers. Hibbert and West each committed three fouls. Went out.

What should we rely on in the second half to compete with the 76ers?

Granger?
"Perhaps, we can only rely on him." Coach Vogel looked at Granger, called Granger in front of him, and gave him careful instructions.

This season, Granger averaged 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. His personal scoring ranks first in the team and he is the team's top scorer.

At this time, the inside was in trouble, and George was also misfired, so he could only rely on Granger, the team's top scorer.

The 76ers here.

Coach Luke first praised the players, then knocked on the tactical board, pointed to the inside area, and said in a deep voice: "Wait a while and continue to hit the inside."

Qin Hao and the others all agreed, showing cold smiles.

Both Hibbert and West have committed three fouls. In the second half, their deterrence in the interior will weaken. Whether it is to continue to cause damage and expand the results, or to take the opportunity to hit the basket and score, the 76ers must attack the interior.

Intermission is over.

The game continued, both sides were on the starting lineup.

The Pacers were attacking. After Hill advanced the ball to the frontcourt, he passed it to Granger. The intention was very clear, that is to let Granger lead the team's offense.

"Phew." Granger took a deep breath, and he was not polite. He went straight to singles, dribbled the ball under the crotch continuously, and then suddenly accelerated to break through. Iguodala quickly retreated and got stuck first.

But Granger stopped quickly, and directly pulled out.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

"Good shot." Coach Vogel couldn't help applauding, feeling relieved, "Granger is still reliable. If he can stand up at this time, we still have a chance."

But when he turned around, Qin Hao immediately responded.

The Pacers still double-teamed Qin Hao, but this time they failed. Before the double-team formed, Qin Hao was at full speed. He didn’t make fancy moves. He just won with speed, one step ahead of the opponent’s double-team, and passed Hill. Then go straight to the inside.Hibbert didn't dare to make a move easily, fearing a foul, so he could only watch Qin Hao score.

At the same time, the 76ers began to strengthen the defense of Granger.

For a while, it became much more difficult for Granger to score. On the other hand, the 76ers attacked the inside line one after another, which made Hibbert and West very depressed. In the end, Hibbert couldn't hold back and stretched out his hand again. Back a foul, personal 4 fouls.Although there are still two more to the graduation of the six criminals, this is only the third quarter.

Coach Vogel sighed and had to replace Hibbert.

When Hibbert was replaced, the Pacers' inside line changed from an advantage to a disadvantage, and Hibbert's replacement itself was a blow to the morale of the Pacers.And although Granger, who coach Vogel puts high hopes on, is scoring, his scoring ability is obviously still a notch lower than Qin Hao's. He can score as well as Qin Hao, and it is easier than him to score.

For a while, the difference between the two sides began to widen, and soon reached more than ten points.

In addition, when the two sides entered the rotation time, the morale of the 76ers was like a rainbow, but the morale of the Pacers was sluggish, allowing the 76ers to completely gain the upper hand.

By the end of the third quarter, the 76ers had led by 14 points.

"It's stable now."

"We did a good job in this quarter. Now we are leading by 14 points. There is only one quarter left in the game, and the Pacers have no hope of making a comeback."

"Actually, the key lies in the second quarter. Qin started targeting George, and then attacked the inside to cause damage, causing Hibbert and West to bear three fouls each. From then on, the Pacers fell into a passive position."

In the auditorium, the fans talked a lot.

There are also some unique visions among them, and they can see the clues. In the second quarter, the 76ers did not lead much, but it was crucial.On the contrary, this third quarter is just a matter of course, reaping the results of the battle.

Moments later, the fourth quarter begins.

After entering the fourth quarter, the Pacers first sent a substitute lineup, including Collison, Barbosa, and George, hoping that they can lead the team to chase points. As long as the point difference is reduced to single digits, the game will still be hope.

It's a pity that George's state plummeted after he became the "background board". Collison and Barbosa played well, but at most they could only draw with the 76ers.

A few minutes later, Coach Vogel could only replace the main force ahead of time and make a last-ditch effort. Hibbert, West, etc. were all dispatched.

However, to Coach Vogel's dismay, Hibbert received his fifth personal foul in less than a minute after going up, and he was only one short of "graduating six offenders."

Now Coach Vogel is in trouble.

Should we continue to let Hibbert stay on the field and treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor?Or replace him and wait until the last 2 minutes, or 3 minutes before replacing him?

In the end, Coach Vogel gritted his teeth and continued to keep Hibbert on the court, anyway, he was behind by more than ten points.

However, even if Hibbert stays on the court at this time, it is of little effect, and his deterrent power has dropped sharply, which cannot provide stable help for the team. On the contrary, it is because the game time is getting less and less, and the point difference does not shrink, which makes him more and more anxious. , received another foul, directly "six offenders graduated", and was sent off.
