Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1184 The Power of Defense

The goal was scored and the buzzer hit.

This three-pointer hit, the point difference became 6 points.

"This can also go in." Jr put his hips on his hips, with a dull expression on his face.

Nash could only smile wryly. The two rushed forward. Most people would definitely not be able to make a shot if they were interrupted twice. Qin Hao not only dared to shoot, but also made the ball. The key was the buzzer shot.

How can this be said?
At the end of the first half, the 76ers led by 6 points.

Anthony came off the court, wheezing, his face darkened, and his eyes a little confused. He scored 21 points in the first half, and his play must have been bad. Why did the team fall behind by 6 points? What is the problem?

At this moment, Stoudemire came over.

Anthony came back to his senses and found the answer - Stoudemire's performance was a bit bad today. He didn't play well in the first quarter, but he improved slightly in the second quarter, and he was troubled by fouls, which didn't make much difference.

"Good job."

"Very well, that's it."

For the 76ers, the atmosphere seemed relaxed.

Leading by 6 points at halftime, although the lead is not much, the team is still playing very well, the tactical system has been developed, and the offense and defense are doing well. Coach Luke is very satisfied.

In a blink of an eye, the intermission time passed.

Entering the second half, both sides put in the starting lineup.

After coming back this time, Stoudemire became more aggressive on the offensive end. He also knew that he did not perform well in the first half, and hoped to make up for it in the second half. When he came to the court, it was a dunk.

But soon the 76ers returned the favor. Qin Hao made a breakthrough and passed the ball behind the back, which was passed to Butler who followed up. Butler caught the ball with a two-handed dunk.

At the same time, Anthony still continued his previous state, first hit a three-pointer from the outside, and then completed a cooperation with Stoudemire. After attracting the defense, he threw the ball to the basket, and Stoudemire took the cake.

The two sides came and went, and a few minutes passed quickly. The 76ers still led, but only by 3 points.

"ball."

Anthony asked for the ball, played in a low post, and passed the ball to Nash after encountering the help defense.

Swish!
jr hit a three-pointer and the score was tied.

"It was even tied."

"The Knicks' offense has been really good for a few minutes"

In the auditorium, the home fans became a little worried.

Coach Luke called a timeout, and when the players came down, he spread out the tactical board: "We need to further strengthen our defense, not allowing the opponent to score easily, and defend well outside the three-point line. In addition, on the offensive end, we should attack the inside more and cause damage. Just one more foul on Stoudemire and he's going to be taken off."

"Yes."

Several people nodded in unison.

When they returned to the court, the 76ers immediately scored one, and when the ball was switched and the Knicks attacked, they immediately felt that the defensive pressure they faced was even greater.

Nash asked for a pick-and-roll, trying to get rid of Qin Hao, but failed. Qin Hao quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll man, and stood in front of him again. Nash frowned slightly, and gestured to JR, and JR ran towards him Come over, the two crossed positions, and Nash handed it to jr.

"Switch defense." Qin Hao shouted, and quickly switched defenses with Butler.

During the timeout just now, coach Luke replaced Iguodala and replaced him with Xiaoka. Xiaoka was in charge of the 3rd position and played against Anthony. nash.

At this time, the opponent crossed positions and passed the ball hand-to-hand. Qin Hao and Butler immediately switched defenses. Qin Hao defended Jr. Butler defended Nash. Jr tried to break through, but failed.

"ball."

Anthony ran over and rushed to jr for the ball. When the ball got in, he immediately played singles, but the small card defended very well, and he didn't take his fake moves at all. He kept waving his big hands, putting pressure on Anthony.

Seeing that he couldn't fool the opponent, Anthony had to half turn around, push back, and then turn over and shoot a jumper. The attack time is running out, and he doesn't have time to make more moves, so he must shoot as soon as possible.

Snapped!
With a soft sound, Anthony's palms were empty, and he couldn't help being shocked: "Not good."

The ball was cut off.

Xiaoka knew that the opponent didn't have enough time to attack, and Anthony would definitely make a shot, so he seized the opportunity very accurately. He quickly made a move at the moment Anthony took the ball, and cut the ball away.

At the same time, Qin Hao and Butler were about to go down, Kaka pushed with both hands and sent the ball to the frontcourt, Qin Hao grabbed the ball and threw it to the basket, Butler took off and dunked in the air.

"my God!"

"It's fantastic."

People exclaimed, stood up one after another, and shouted excitedly.

Xiaoka made a steal, Qin Hao and Butler made a fast break, and completed the alley-oop dunk. The goal took less than 5 seconds, as smooth as if it had been arranged, too smooth.

"Haha." Assistant Coach Harry said excitedly, "This ball is so comfortable."

"Well." Coach Luke also smiled, "Leonard's defense is really good. He has always done a good job defending against the opponent's arrow players."

The reason why Coach Luke replaced Iguodala with Kaka is because he wanted to use him to defend against Anthony. Although Iguodala's defense is also very good, Kaka can always bring surprises.

Like this steal.

This ball also became a turning point. In the next few minutes, the 76ers successfully restricted the Knicks' offense with their excellent defense. The perimeter defense composed of Qin Hao, Butler, and Kaka made the Knicks miserable. In other words, all three have height and body, move quickly, and have outstanding defensive awareness. Whether it is one-on-one defense, zone defense, or switch defense, they are all very good, making the Knicks' outside offense almost stagnant.

At the same time, on the offensive end, Qin Hao and Butler kept attacking the inside, so they rushed to Stoudemire. While defending the Knicks' outside offense, if they can knock out the opponent's inside core, then the game will be easy. .

Stoudemire also understands this, so be extra careful.

However, both Qin Hao and Butler were able to attack the inside line again and again. It was impossible for him to stand there motionless, and he still got a foul in the end.

The Knicks coach called a timeout and replaced Stoudemire.

The 76ers also made substitutions. Coach Luke smiled and gradually replaced the rotation. At this time, the 76ers had established an 11-point lead. This is the strength of the defense.

It is worth mentioning that, entering the rotation time, Vucevic of the Knicks became a surprise player, played very well, scored consecutively in the paint, and even helped the team narrow the point difference to single digits.

However, on the 76ers side, Lu Wei and Xiaoka made efforts one after another. Lu Wei broke through a three-pointer and scored 5 points in a row. Xiaoka completed another steal and staged a one-stop dunk.

For a while, the point difference became double digits again, and continued until the end of the third quarter.

When the three quarters ended, the 76ers led by 12 points.
