Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1059 Refusal to Sweep
The 76ers didn't play well in today's game. The Pacers did a good job of defending them. With the crazy home atmosphere, the Pacers players defended desperately, limiting the 76ers' halftime scoring to 45 points.

This is almost the lowest halftime score of the 76ers this season.

But it would be unrealistic to restrict the 76ers like this for an entire game.

The second half begins quickly.

After the two sides returned to the court, Qin Hao quickly showed his ferocious fangs and ran to catch the ball two meters beyond the three-point line.Seeing that he was so far from the three-point line, Hill subconsciously slackened a little, and George didn't rush to pinch at the first time. As a result, Qin Hao immediately jumped up after receiving the ball and made a super long three-pointer.

With the sound of "shua", the basketball went into the net hollowly, chasing the point difference to only 1 point.

"Damn it, don't you know that Qin's ultra-long three-pointer is also very accurate?"

"You should have pounced on it earlier. For a three-point shooter like Qin, even if you are not in a hurry to double-team, at least one person should pounce on it. If Hill doesn't go up, he will really shoot."

"Hey, the point difference is only 1 point. Why is it so difficult? Even if we have defended to this point, we still only lead the 76ers by 1 point."

In the auditorium, the fans were discussing.

I am a little dissatisfied with the defense of the Pacers players. It seems that their defense is a little lax. At the same time, I also lament the horror of Qin Hao and the strength of the 76ers.

The Pacers played like this today, almost in a desperate posture, but at the end of the halftime they still only led by 4 points, and they chased a ball to only one point left.

"It's okay, just pay attention later." Coach Vogel rushed to the court and shouted to comfort Hill.

The fans don't understand, but he can.

The defensive intensity in the first half was too high. Everyone relaxed during the halftime break. If you want to tighten up all of a sudden, it will definitely not work. It will take a process.

What's more, the players consumed a lot of physical energy in the first half, especially Hill, who was in charge of playing against Qin Hao. Coach Vogel silently calculated that he would replace Hill with Corey after another minute. Sen, or Barbossa went up to let Hill down to rest, also in order to maintain the continuous consumption of Qin Hao.

The Pacers still maintained a high-intensity defense in the next few rounds, but Qin Hao scored another one. This time it was a reverse running cut. He used his speed to throw off the defense. The basket, without stopping the ball, was done in one go, and the Pacers' double-teaming would not be effective.

However, this kind of ball depends on the opportunity and the passing of teammates, so it is not normal, and it is impossible for Qin Hao to kill the Pacers with a "reverse run and air cut".

Fortunately, after Qin Hao made a good start, other 76ers players have adapted to the crazy away game atmosphere and the opponent's fierce defense, and their shooting percentages have begun to increase.

"Speights."

Qin Hao made a gesture, indicating that Speights mentioned the pick-and-roll on the line, and then Qin Hao broke through, making a gesture to pass the ball to Nene, but actually changed direction suddenly in the air and gave it to Speights.

Swish!
Speights made a jumper.

A moment later, Qin Hao was double-teamed and gave the ball to Iverson. After Iverson got the ball, he made a breakthrough.

Snapped!
beep!
Thugs, blow the whistle.

Iverson suffered a foul on this ball and failed to score, but he went to the free throw line and made two free throws, still scoring two points.

For a while, as the 76ers improved their offensive efficiency and scored consecutive goals, the score was overtaken. At the end of the halftime, the Pacers led by 4 points, but now the 76ers lead by 3 points.

Coach Vogel called a timeout. First, he replaced Hill with Collison. Hill's energy consumption was too great, and he couldn't keep up with Qin Hao.

In the few minutes just now, not to mention Qin Hao's ultra-long three-pointer, there were empty cuts behind him, as well as breakthrough points. Although his personal ability is indeed strong, it is also related to Hill's excessive physical consumption and the decline in defensive strength.

Afterwards, Coach Vogel said in a deep voice: "I know you are very tired, but you must understand that we have no retreat and are already standing on the edge of a cliff, so no matter how tired or difficult, we must persevere."

"Continue to maintain a high-intensity defense later, as in the first half. We must win this game. If we lose, we may be swept by the opponent 4:0. Are you willing?"

Hearing this, everyone shouted in unison: "I don't want to."

Coach Vogel nodded: "Okay, give me a good fight." After finishing speaking, he spread out the tactical board, made some tactical arrangements, and then signaled the players to go on the field. On Qin Hao, he frowned, "How can this kid run so well, isn't he tired?"

The high-intensity consumption of more than two quarters is even greater than the usual four quarters of the regular season.

Hill was drenched all over, and sat there breathless for a long time, but Qin Hao was still able to maintain an extremely fast breakthrough speed, which surprised Coach Vogel.You must know that in the first half, their defensive focus has been on Qin Hao, and they have been consuming Qin Hao. Every time Qin Hao scores a goal, he needs to consume a lot of physical energy.

This is not reasonable.

Coach Vogel didn't know, because of the special system, Qin Hao's physical fitness was far better than other players, but even so, a few minutes passed, almost 8 minutes passed in the third quarter, and Qin Hao also felt tired.

During the three quarters, Hill was almost exhausted. In addition, Collison, who replaced Hill, was responsible for double-teaming with Hill, and George, who was also in charge of supplementary defense, was panting with his tongue out. But after all, it is not made of iron.

"Qin's speed has slowed down," Assistant Coach Harry reminded.

"Yeah." Coach Luke nodded, and he noticed it too.

Moments later, coach Luke replaced Qin Hao, and nine minutes had passed in the third quarter.

Qin Hao played for a long time today. He rested for more than two minutes in the first quarter, 4 minutes in the second quarter, and only 3 minutes in the third quarter. Hao, the game will be more difficult to play, and the offense will become more sluggish, so even if he knows that the opponent is consuming Qin Hao, Coach Luke can only let Qin Hao play.

During the three quarters, the Pacers have always maintained an almost crazy defense. In the first half, the role players of the 76ers did not feel good. When the state was affected, they were always only a few points behind.

Why is that?
This is actually Qin Hao's role, not only reflected in his personal scoring, but also reflected in his organization, his ability to contain the defense, because as long as Qin Hao is on the court, he can contain the defense and attract the opponent to double-team.

Whether Qin Hao is on the court or not, the Pacers' defense is just as crazy, but when Qin Hao is on the court, he bears more defensive pressure from the opponent.
