Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1221 Back-to-back disadvantages appear!
Before you know it, half of the first quarter is over.

In the first few minutes, the 76ers had the upper hand and even expanded the point difference to double digits, but then George broke out and scored consecutive points to help the Pacers narrow the point difference.

Of course, it is impossible to catch up. Although George is scoring, the 76ers are also scoring. Butler and George are on the bar.

Coach Luke glanced at the game time, called a timeout, and started to make substitutions. He was also worried about the physical fitness of his own players.

After all, it is a back-to-back game, so the players have to rest more.

Fortunately, the 76ers' bench is deep enough. Although the main players have been replaced one after another, the impact is not great, and the bench lineup is still very strong.

The Pacers also carried out a personnel rotation, Hibbert was replaced again, George remained on the court, and he is in very good condition today.

In the next few minutes, the two sides played evenly.

This is based on the fact that George played almost the entire game. When the first quarter ended, the Pacers were still 3 points behind.

"Wheeze." George panted while wiping his sweat.

Coach Vogel glanced at him and couldn't help frowning. They were consuming the physical energy of the 76ers in this quarter, but at the same time their own physical energy was also consuming, especially George.

Thinking of this, Coach Vogel gave Hibbert another hard look. If Hibbert hadn't been stupid and got a technical foul early, they would have an advantage in the paint, and they wouldn't need George to play for so long.

Moments later, the second quarter begins.

The Pacers continued their oppressive defense in the first quarter, which made the 76ers players feel very uncomfortable. After all, it was a back-to-back game, and their physical fitness was not sufficient, and their movement speed and reaction speed were all affected.The first quarter was okay, but the problem began to show at this moment.

For a while, the two sides were evenly matched.

"The physical fitness of our players is a problem." Assistant Coach Harry said with a frown.

"Yeah." Coach Luke nodded and began to change players, taking advantage of frequent personnel rotations to allow the players to rest.

However, this also brought about a disadvantage. Frequent personnel rotations have affected the cooperation between players and the player's own game state. Often a player has just played for two or three minutes, and just after finding the feeling, he is replaced again.

Especially for young players, this is not conducive to their performance.

At the same time, the Pacers have further strengthened their defense, their actions have become more aggressive, and the consumption of the 76ers has also been greater.

A few minutes later, the Pacers began to replace the main force.

George is still in excellent form, and he is not at a disadvantage against Butler. In addition, Hibbert and West are both on the field at this time, and they have an advantage inside, which actually gave the Pacers the upper hand.
"Pick and roll." George asked for a pick and roll, broke through and passed the ball to Hibbert.

Hibbert got the ball and hit the rebound, but he failed to make a hit. It's just that Mozkov's reaction was a little slower. After all, it was a back-to-back game. Cheng, also deserved a foul.

Fortunately, Hibbert missed an extra penalty, but the score has been overtaken by 1 point.

"beep"

Coach Luke called a timeout and replaced the main players.

However, the effect after this substitution was not good. He had been leading before, playing downwind, and his physical problems were not particularly prominent.

At this moment, the score was overtaken and fell into a disadvantage. In addition, this is a "record-breaking battle", the players are under a lot of psychological pressure, and the mental consumption is more than physical energy, and they feel more and more tired and unable to do what they want.

This is the case on the court, leading all the time, playing downwind, the players are in a relatively excited and relaxed state, and they don't feel the loss of physical energy.

However, when they are at a disadvantage, under the dual effects of mental and physical fitness, players tend to get tired more easily.

What's more, the 76ers are playing back-to-back games on the road, and the audience is full of boos and boos
"Things don't look good."

"I feel that the physical fitness of the players has declined too quickly, and it will be troublesome in the second half if this continues."

On the sidelines, Assistant Coach Harry and Assistant Coach Cox frowned, a little worried. Under the influence of various factors, the situation took a turn for the worse. The Pacers not only overtook the score, but also gradually widened the gap.

Coach Luke pondered for a while, then called a timeout.

When the players came down, Coach Luke spread out the tactics board and said, "Pay attention to screens and pick-and-rolls for Qin later, Qin, when you come to attack, we need to score."

The biggest problem now is physical fitness. Among a group of players, Qin Hao has the best improvement and the strongest scoring ability, so he needs to come forward.

Qin Hao nodded, expressing his understanding.

When the timeout was over and back on the court, Qin Hao strengthened his personal offense. First, he used the pick-and-roll to break through and made a small throw, and then he singled Hill. A direct shot hit from outside the line.

With Qin Hao scoring 5 points in a row, the 76ers recovered the decline and brought the score back to the same starting line.

But the Pacers are also scoring, with George on the outside and Hibbert and West on the inside. With the 76ers' players not physically fit enough, their offense is very good, even if the Pacers can't defend against Qin Hao , But it didn't let the 76ers open the score.

"There are more than ten seconds left." George glanced at the time. There were only ten seconds left in the second quarter. They had the last chance to attack. At this time, the score was 51:50, and the 76ers led by 1 point. He directed at his teammates Asked for the ball, then gestured, "Pull away."

The others pulled away and gave George the last attack in the first half.

George played very well today. He scored 17 points at halftime, so he is in a hot state and full of confidence. He looks very calm when facing Butler. , suddenly speeding up the dribble, and continuously changing directions under the crotch.

laugh!
Suddenly, George started, an acceleration rushed to the inside, Butler quickly retreated, sticking to George, and didn't let George get rid of him directly.

At the same time, Nene and Speights were all inside, forming a human wall.

Seeing this, George suddenly stopped after taking two steps forward, lifted the ball up, and Nene and Speights jumped up together, but George was just a fake shot, instead of shooting forward, he turned half and half. Here comes a turnaround jumper.

"Hmph." Butler snorted coldly.

He was not deceived, and jumped up quickly at this time, reaching out to block the shot.

However, George was in a hot state at this time, and he was also very courageous. He was caught in the crowd, and the offensive clock was counting down, so he dared to make bold moves.

This leanback also allowed him to avoid Butler's block. The basketball flew out of his fingertips and hit the front of the basket with a bang. However, when Nene and Speights were about to grab a rebound, the basketball But it turned over and fell into the net.
