Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1094 Key Points

Today is the battle of Tianwang Mountain, so the game was very fierce from the beginning.

The Big Three of the Heat broke out at the beginning, each playing singles, taking advantage of the advantages of superstars, looking for opportunities for misplacement, and quickly took the lead.

"Pick and roll." Wade made a gesture, but it was not Bosh who came up to pick and roll, but Chalmers, because in this way, the 76ers must switch defenses. Once they switch defenses, Wade is facing Iverson.

In the lineup of the 76ers, the inside line is Nene + Mozkov, and the defensive ability is still there. He even has an advantage over the Heat's inside line in height. The Heat can't take advantage of Qin Hao, but Ai Ferson and Xiaoka are their targets.

Iverson's age is too old, coupled with his height disadvantage, he is indeed a weakness in defense.

Xiaoka has height and wingspan, and he is young, but because he is young, he may be able to play against other people, but it is still a bit difficult to play against James.

This time Wade called a pick-and-roll, forming a dislocation, just to single Iverson. After the formation of the switch, Wade immediately made a breakthrough in a change of direction, relying on his strength to squeeze Iverson away and go straight to the inside.

The 76ers can only go up to make up defense, and going up means missing someone. Wade threw the ball to the basket, and Bosh jumped up with an alley-oop dunk.

A moment later, James singled the small card, made a forced breakthrough, squeezed the small card away, and then rushed to the inside with a light hit.

Xiaoka's defense is not bad, but Xiaoka's physical fitness at this time is much worse than that of James.

At the same time, the 76ers' offense was not smooth.

The lack of Iguodala has a great impact on the 76ers. Although Kaka is also good, he is still a rookie at this time, and he is not as good as Iguodala in terms of ball handling ability and stability.

For a while, the Heat had the upper hand. After only a few minutes in the first quarter, the Heat had already led by 8 points.

Coach Luke called a timeout.

"Substitution." Coach Luke made a substitution and replaced Iverson.

The last game has proved that Iverson can still play a role at critical moments, but in regular time, his defense is indeed a problem, Kaka has not been replaced, because there is a shortage of people in this position, and he is facing James, It's the same with other people, even worse than Xiaoka.

However, Xiaoka himself is still a little depressed. For the first time in his life, he started the playoffs, but several of them were hanged and beaten by James. It is no wonder that he is not depressed.

"It's okay." Qin Hao patted Xiaoka, "It's nothing if you can't guard James. There are so many people in the league, how many can guard James? Don't defend too far, let him shoot. Also, on the offensive end, you must Take the initiative and play when you need to, in fact, your scoring ability is far stronger than you think."

"Yeah." Xiaoka nodded.

After a moment, the pause ends.

When the two sides returned to the court, Kaka's performance improved. On the defensive end, he mainly defended against James' breakthrough and kept in front of James. He would rather let James shoot, but James' long-range shots are actually not particularly stable.

On the offensive end, Xiaoka strengthened his personal shots, and Qin Hao also consciously fed Xiaoka with the ball, so that Xiaoka first made a back-running catch and layup, and then made a mid-range shot.

When entering the second quarter, Xiaoka's performance became even better.

"Leonard's ability to adapt is very fast." Assistant coach Harry said with a smile on his face. "I was a little worried before, but now it seems that I underestimated him."

"Well." Coach Luke said: "There is a reason why Qin values ​​Leonard so much. Although Leonard's draft pick is not very high, he is indeed talented. He is tall and long, with solid basic skills and defensive ability. He has excellent defensive awareness. His shooting was unstable before, but he has improved a lot by training with Qin Hao every day this season."

In fact, it can be seen from the fight between Xiaoka and other rookies in the regular season that he is obviously better and more mature than other rookies.

Among first-year players, only a few such as Irving, Walker, and Klay can compete with him.

If he hadn't met Qin Hao, and if his draft pick hadn't changed, Leonard wouldn't have grown so fast, and his rookie game average was only a few points.

But he met Qin Hao and came to the 76ers. Because of Qin Hao's relationship, he got more opportunities, and Qin Hao took him to practice with him every day, and his progress was naturally faster than others.

And the opportunity to play in the playoffs in the first season, and also have the opportunity to start, is an opportunity that other rookies cannot match.

For Xiaoka, this is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity. With this kind of experience, he will grow faster than other rookies.

Unknowingly, at the end of the second quarter, the Heat led by 7 points.

Although Kaka’s performance has improved, the 76ers are still at a disadvantage. The lack of Iguodala’s impact is not easily remedied, and the 76ers’ outside feel in this game has declined compared to the previous game. Quite a lot.

Entering the third quarter, Qin Hao began to explode.

First, he hit a super long three-pointer, and then he grabbed the rebound and launched a quick counterattack. He rushed to the frontcourt and scored with a one-handed dunk.

This is not over yet, then Qin Hao and Xiaoka played a small cooperation, Qin Hao gave the ball to Xiaoka, Xiaoka attracted the defense, and finally passed the ball hand to hand with Qin Hao, and made a cover for Qin Hao, Qin Hao A catch is a three-point shot.The basketball crossed an arc, finally made a steady hit, and scored another three-pointer.

With the help of Qin Hao's consecutive scoring, the 76ers tied the score and even led by 5 points.

It's a pity that the Big Three also broke out later, and each played singles. The 76ers still had difficulty defending the Big Three, and the score was overtaken by the Heat.
"It was overtaken again."

"Unfortunately, I couldn't hold it steady. The 76ers didn't feel very good today."

"It's actually not bad. The overall shooting percentage of the whole team is above 40.00%, which is considered an average. However, the 76ers can't beat the Heat on defense. After all, the Heat have the Big Three and it is too difficult to defend. So if you want to gain the upper hand, you must rely on Offense, and it is an efficient offense, the hit rate must reach 50.00% to be possible."

In the auditorium, the fans were discussing.

Some people have a unique vision and see very clearly.

In the first game of the series, the 76ers shot less than 50.00% from the field, but they hit a lot of three-pointers, so the scoring efficiency was very high.In the fourth game of the series, all members of the 76ers broke out, and the overall shooting rate of the whole team reached 50.00%. That's why they were in a stalemate with the Heat, and finally relied on Iverson's three-pointer to kill the Heat.

The overall shooting rate is 50.00%, or the three-point shot is open, and it is raining three-pointers. These are the two key points for the 76ers to beat the Heat.

In this game, the 76ers' overall shooting percentage was not as good as in the previous game. Except for Qin Hao, the others' three-point shots were not particularly good.
