Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1244 Evolution of the Alternative "One Big and Four Small"

When the third quarter ended, the 76ers led by 5 points.

This point difference is not big, and when entering the fourth quarter, Mozkov soon got another foul. At this time, even if Yao Ming is not on the court, the 76ers are still in trouble inside.

After all, the 76ers were suppressed inside today and were troubled by fouls. Although the Rockets did not have Yao Ming and Scola at this time, Morris Jr. and Patterson were not bad.

For a while, the point difference between the two sides not only failed to expand, but narrowed a little bit. Fortunately, Xiaoka still performed well. First, he attacked the inside and caused a foul.

After more than three minutes, the 76ers still maintained the lead, but only 2 points left.

Coach Luke started to make substitutions. First, he replaced Butler. After more than a minute, he called a timeout and made another substitution: "Qin, Iguodala, Speights, you three come on. Lun Nader, Butler, stay on the court."

"Ok?"

Everyone couldn't help being taken aback.

There has never been such an arrangement before. In the past, Qin Hao, Iguodala, Butler, and Leonard were three of them, and the other rested.

But now, Coach Luke sent the four of them together.

Is it one big or four small?

It doesn't seem very similar, because the four partners with Qin Hao are not Nene or Mozkov, but Speights, who is 208 cm tall.

"Okay." Coach Luke didn't explain too much. He spread out the tactical board, and while drawing tactics, he arranged: "Our inside line can no longer be reversed, so our focus is on the outside line. Qin, control the rhythm, we have to Speed ​​up and fight back more."

"As for rebounds, each of you has to fight for the rebound, and immediately counterattack after getting the rebound, understand?"

Several people looked at each other and nodded in unison: "Understood."

In fact, Butler, Kaka, Iguodala, and Speights don't understand very well. They can understand Coach Luke's meaning, but they are not familiar with this style of play.

It's not that the 76ers haven't played "one big and four small", they played last season, but now this is obviously not the "one big and four small" in the regular season.

Of course, Qin Hao really understood.

Isn't this similar to how the Warriors will play a few years later?Sharp counterattacks, crazy three-pointers, and fast running can be said to be "three-pointers enhanced version of running and bombing".

Now that he is playing with the 76ers, Qin Hao doesn't think there is anything wrong with him. He, Iguodala, Butler, Kaka, and even Speights can shoot three-pointers, and apart from Speights Except for Bates, the four of them can handle the ball and attack with the ball, and they are fully qualified to play in a small lineup.

Watching a few people walk onto the court, Coach Luke exhaled, still feeling a little nervous.

Qin Hao, Iguodala, Butler, and Kaka, this is the first time he has used this lineup. The reason why he didn't try it before is mainly because the players' positions overlap. Kaka, Butler, and even Iguodala sometimes He is also playing at the 3rd position, how should we play together?

This is so different.

As for not sending Nene or Mozkov, but Speights, one is because Nene has 5 fouls on his back, and Mozkov has 4 fouls, both of them are terrible.The second is because once the altitude goes up, it means that the moving speed will slow down.

What Coach Luke wants is to be fast, fast attack and fast defense, the faster the better, as for the height of the inside line, it is not so important.

"Hey, what happened to the 76ers?"

"What's the situation here, Qin, Iguodala, Leonard, Butler, plus Speights, just one insider, and the others are all outsiders, one big and four small?"

"It's a big four. Although Qin and Iguodala are both outside players, how are they small? Butler is 201cm tall, Leonard is also 201cm, and Qin and Iguodala are also 198cm. Although compared to The inside players are shorter, but they are really not small."

Seeing the lineup of the 76ers, the fans were a little confused. One insider, plus four outsiders who are about two meters tall, what is the situation?
Not only the fans, but the Rockets are also a little confused.

A group of players frowned, scratching their heads looking at the lineup of the 76ers. If this is the case, how should they defend?
Coach McHale is also frowning. From his eyes, it is natural to see that the 76ers want to play fast. If they don't have an advantage inside, they will fall into a disadvantage in positional warfare, so they plan to play fast to avoid falling into positional warfare. It's also a good idea.

It's just that Qin, Iguodala, Butler, and Leonard, these four play together, which makes people feel weird.

"Harden, pay attention to controlling the rhythm." Coach McHale hurriedly shouted at the players on the field: "Don't follow the opponent's rhythm, play according to ours, slow down and be patient."

"Yes."

"clear."

Several people responded.

The 76ers attacked, Qin Hao advanced with the ball, and after reaching the front court, he called for a pick-and-roll, broke through and passed the ball to Butler, Butler also broke through and passed the ball to Iguodala, and Iguodala got the ball After that, he made a fake shot to attract the defense, and then passed it to Xiaoka.

It was only at this time that people realized that almost five players of the 76ers in this offense stood outside the three-point line, as if they had given up the inside line.

But the advantage of this is that after a few sudden points, the Rockets' personnel have shrunk within the three-point line, and Xiaoka has an open opportunity.

Swish!
With a soft sound, Kaka made a three-pointer.

The Rockets counterattacked. After Harden came to the frontcourt, he made a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming. After a breakthrough, he passed the ball back to Yao Ming. Yao Ming passed it and gave it to Courtney.
Compared with the 76ers' quick breakthrough and the last three-point shot, the basketball stays in one person's hands for no more than three or three seconds. The Rockets' offense must be more patient.

In the end, the left side was emptied, and the ball was given to Yao Ming in the low post. It was Iguodala who defended him, and Yao Ming made a jumper without any extra effort.

This height difference is too much.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

However, the ball has just been scored here, and the baseline has already sent the ball to Qin Hao. Qin Hao took the ball and immediately launched a counterattack without waiting for Speights.

At the same time, Butler, Iguodala, and Kaka rushed to the frontcourt first. When Qin Hao passed the center line, the three of them had already settled down outside the three-point line.

Qin Hao passed the ball to Iguodala, and Iguodala took the ball to make a breakthrough, then split the ball, passed it to Kaka, Kaka passed it to Butler, and Qin Hao ran to Butler, the two Cross-moving, Butler passed the ball hand-to-hand, passed it to Qin Hao, and covered Qin Hao sideways.

There was no pause at all in this series of passes and moves. The fans watching were dazzled, and the Rockets players were also a little dizzy.

When he saw Qin Hao holding the ball and no one was in front of him, he suddenly reacted.

But it was too late.
