Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1176
orlando.

Because it is a preseason game, and the Magic team has undergone major changes in this offseason, and the team's star Howard has been traded away, so the attendance rate is not high, and there are only a few fans in the audience.

In this summer, the biggest star in the nba free market is Howard.

Howard was dissatisfied because of the team's poor record before. He felt that there was no hope for the Magic, so he took the initiative to apply for a trade.

After some scrambling and tugging, the Magic finally completed a three-way deal with the Lakers and Nuggets. The Lakers sent Bynum + first-round pick + second-round pick to get Howard.

The Magic sent Howard and Jason Richardson for Aaron Afflalo, Al Harrington, McGee, plus two first-round picks (one each from the Nuggets and the Lakers).

The Nuggets sent Afflalo, Harrington, McGee, plus a first-round pick to get Bynum + Richardson, and a second-round pick (from the Lakers).

After this transaction, the magic team's lineup has changed a lot. Without the head star, the strength of the magic team has dropped sharply. Whether it can make the playoffs in the new season is a problem.

The lineups of both teams have to change, but one side is reinforcement, and the other side is almost rebuilding.

So this game is not difficult for the 76ers. Of course, there is no need to take it too seriously in the preseason, just treat it as a tactical exercise and test the lineup.

The Magic sent McGee, Glenn Davis, Maurice Harkless, Aaron Afflalo, and Jameer Nelson.

On the 76ers side are Nene, Speights, Butler, Iguodala, and Qin Hao.

The gap in the lineup is obvious, so the 76ers had the upper hand from the beginning of the game. After a few minutes in the first quarter, the 76ers had already led by 8 points.

On the field.

The Magic made a shot, Qin Hao took the rebound and quickly launched a counterattack. Butler and Iguodala, one on the left and one on the right, rushed forward with Qin Hao in the shape of an arrow.

After Qin Hao crossed the center line, he split the ball and passed it to Butler. Butler took the ball and ran to the basket. The Magic players rushed forward, but Butler jumped up but passed the ball instead of shooting for a layup. Throwing the ball on the backboard, when people were astonished, the basketball bounced back, and Qin Hao just followed up along the middle. He jumped up and made an alley-oop dunk, and the basketball was pulled out of a huge arc by him , It was actually a big windmill.

"Bang!"

A loud explosion shook the audience.

The magic team fans stared wide-eyed, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, muttering to themselves: "What did I see? It turned out to be an alley-oop dunk with a big windmill. God, this is incredible."

"This dunk is too shocking."

"How can he jump so high? Is this still how Asians should bounce?"

There was a commotion in the auditorium, and there were exclamations one after another.

The players of the Magic team looked ashamed and depressed. The head coach of the Magic team immediately called a timeout. He looked at Qin Hao and Butler who were celebrating with high fives, and shook his head with a wry smile. Didn’t Butler just join the 76ers? ?Doesn't it take a while to adjust, how can you cooperate with Qin Hao so smoothly?
The 76ers here.

The players came off the field, and the teammates stood up one after another, high-fiving Qin Hao and the others, excitedly discussing Qin Hao's "slam dunk with a big windmill".

Coach Luke also praised Qin Hao and Butler with a smile. He was very satisfied with the performance of the two, especially the cooperation between them.

what?
You say run-in?Not required.

Qin Hao and Butler have always had an extraordinary tacit understanding, even though they each went to different teams, but they didn't train together in the summer, and the two would soon find that tacit understanding.

"Wait for a replacement."

During this timeout, Coach Luke made a substitution, replacing Qin Hao, Iguodala, and Nenezizi with Mozkov, Lu Wei, and Sessions.

At this time, the lineup on the field became Mozkov, Speights, Butler, Lu Wei, and Sessions.

Although Qin Hao, Iguodala, and Nene are missing, their strengths are still outstanding. Butler and Lu Wei have outstanding scoring abilities. Sessions has good shooting and excellent organizational skills. Height, Speights can also shoot, and even shoot three-pointers, pulling people away, allowing Butler and Lu Wei to play singles with their personal abilities, tearing the Magic's defense to pieces.

"Damn, it was broken through again."

"How to prevent it?"

In the auditorium, Magic fans complained angrily.

At this time, Butler played singles with the ball, passed the defender, jumped into the inside and then jumped up to meet the defender, found a body in the air to fight, knocked the opponent away, and then shot.

"It's really hard."

In the 76ers rest area, the players shouted one after another.

During this period of time, everyone's impression of Butler is that he is tough, tough in defense, tough in offense, and simple in style of play, but has outstanding offensive ability. He often knocks people away, or is surrounded by two or three. scored.

After Sessions gave the ball to Lu Wei, Lu Wei made a feint, and then broke through, drifting in the air with a one-handed throw. After the basketball wiped the board, it fell into the net and scored one.

Driven by Butler and Lu Wei, the 76ers opened the point difference to more than ten points.

Coach Luke made a substitution, replacing Butler and Speights with Kaka and Thaddeus Young.

Even if all the starting players are replaced at this time, the 76ers are replaced by pure substitutes, the Magic are still not their opponents, they are completely pressed and beaten, and they can't even resist.

At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers led by as many as 14 points.

Entering the second quarter, the 76ers still had a pure bench lineup. Kaka and Lu Wei performed very well. Sessions was still a little bit reluctant because of his new joining. He was more about organizing offenses and didn't take many shots. .

After a few minutes, the point difference widened further.

Assistant Coach Harry looked at Coach Luke: "Coach, it's only the second quarter, and we've already led by 17 points. Do we need to replace the main lineup?"

In the current situation, it seems that the substitute lineup is enough.

"Change." Coach Luke said calmly, called a timeout, started to change players, and replaced the main lineup. However, when he was about to play, he stopped the players and ordered: "We are mainly practicing tactics."

"Oh." Qin Hao and the others agreed and laughed.

Afterwards, the 76ers mainly practiced tactics, and the defensive and offensive intensity were not so great. Qin Hao and Butler also reduced their personal offenses, and the Magic finally felt more comfortable.

But what makes them more depressed is that they have completely become the training partner of the 76ers. Fortunately, the 76ers are not too ruthless. Although the point difference has been hovering in the teens, it has not been stretched to more than [-] points.

At the end of one game, the 76ers beat the Magic 110:96.
