Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1245 What Happened

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, Qin Hao hit a three-pointer.

One for Xiaoka and one for Qin Hao. After two three-pointers, the point difference was quickly opened to 6 points. Although Yao Ming also scored one just now, it didn't seem to have much effect.

"The 76-point shot for the Sixers is horrible."

"It's good to defend, you can't let Qin shoot a three-pointer, stick to him to defend"

The home fans were in a hurry and shouted at the field.

Coach McHale couldn't help but change his face, and quickly reminded the players to be careful about the opponent's three-pointers, especially for Qin Hao, and he must not let him easily shoot three-pointers.

Several players nodded in unison, recalling the two balls just now, they couldn't help feeling awe-inspiring.

It's not that they don't know how to defend against three-pointers. It's just that the 76ers' offense is too fast. The basketball is shifting rapidly, almost non-stop, and directly shoots after two or three transfers.

And several players are outside the three-point line, forcing the Rockets to expand the defense line very quickly. Once the opponent breaks through, you shrink the defense line to help defend and double-team, and it is not so easy to return to the three-point line to defend easy.

The Rockets attack.

Harden called for a pick-and-roll. This time he didn't choose to pass the ball, but came by himself. He stopped and started quickly, using the change of speed to break through, and went inside, relying on Speights, and scored a layup.

"Let the opponent score another one."

"Speights is shorter after all, and he is the only one inside. Once the opponent breaks through and rushes to the basket, it will be very difficult to guard."

On the 76ers side, players on the bench are also frowning.

Despite scoring two three-pointers in a row, the 76ers still failed to limit the opponent's scoring on the defensive end. Now with this lineup, there is basically no need to count on the inside.

Fortunately, coach Luke doesn't expect to beat the Rockets by defense. What he wants is offense. Offense is the best defense. It doesn't apply at all times, but it is true sometimes.

In fact, what Coach Luke is worried about is that the players are not used to his sudden change and cannot play the attack they should have.
on the field.

Qin Hao came to the frontcourt, first asked for a pick-and-roll, then passed the ball to Iguodala, started running by himself, made a circle along the inside line, and came to the outside of the three-point line to receive the ball.

At this time, everyone's attention was on Qin Hao, and the Rockets players all rushed towards Qin Hao, afraid of his three-pointer.

"Xiaoka." Qin Hao called out.

Xiaoka understood and quickly made an air cut. Qin Hao immediately distributed the ball and gave it to Xiaoka.

At this time, the Rockets realized that the inside line was empty. Before Speights mentioned the line screen, he pulled Yao Ming out. Now Xiaoka received the ball and it was a two-handed dunk.

"It's too fast."

"It feels like the ball doesn't stop for a moment, it moves too fast."

"The speed of the ball transfer is not the key. The key is that the players of the 76ers move too fast. Except for Speights, Qin, Iguodala, Butler, and Leonard all have very fast movement speeds. They can also handle the ball, can attack with the ball, and have the ability to finish. Once a certain person attracts two defensive players, the defense will miss people, and the opponent will seize the opportunity to score the ball."

There were also some sharp-eyed people in the auditorium, and they quickly saw the way.

The so-called "fast" does not only refer to the fast counterattack, but also the fast passing of the ball and the fast movement of the players, like a revolving lantern, which makes the opponent's defense unable to keep up.

"Nice job." Coach Luke applauded.

He was still worried at first, but now it seems that his worries are unnecessary. Qin Hao's control of the rhythm and the mobilization of the players have all done extremely well.

This is because Qin Hao is not unfamiliar with this style of play. He knows what the main points of this style of play are, and how to play this way. Only with him controlling the field can this effect be achieved.

Moments later, the Rockets strike iron.

Yao Ming was firmly locked by Speights. Scola was about to grab the rebound when a figure suddenly rushed out of the sky, snatching the ball from above his head.

It's Butler.

In this lineup, rebounds mainly rely on rushing, and with the abilities of Qin Hao, Butler, Iguodala, and Xiaoka, it is no problem to grab rebounds.

After getting the rebound, Butler subconsciously prepared to look for Qin Hao, when he heard Qin Hao's voice—go forward, hurry up.

Butler immediately slapped the ball, pushed himself forward, and immediately launched a counterattack, while Qin Hao, Iguodala, and Xiaoka also rushed forward quickly.

As for Speights, he was also rushing forward, but he had just crossed the center line, and the attack was over.

After Butler dribbled two steps, he saw that Qin Hao and the three had reached the frontcourt, and immediately passed the ball to Iguodala, and Iguodala passed it to Qin Hao. The opportunity for the team to lay out the defense line and hit hollow.

"This"

In the auditorium, the home fans were stunned.

They were dazzled by these balls, and their brains could hardly keep up with their eyes.

Because the 76ers' offense was so fast, the basketball seemed to start from the hands of the first person, and it was thrown out at the end, piercing the net, and never stopped. It was extremely busy.

Often the eyes of the fans follow the basketball, from one point to another, before they figure out how the 76ers want to play, the ball has already been scored.

Feeling like "what happened just now, this is the end"?
"beep"

Coach McHale couldn't take it anymore and called a timeout.

At this moment, his mind was still buzzing, and he was a little dazed. The assistant coach next to him leaned into his ear and reminded him in a low voice, "The point difference has been widened to 9 points."

"What?" Coach McHale shuddered, "What did you say? Are you kidding me? How long has it been since then? Why did you only get 9 points? Wasn't it just 2 points before?"

"It's 9 points." The assistant smiled bitterly.

Time did not pass long, but that was because the 76ers' offense was too fast and the field changed rapidly, so it didn't feel long.In addition, the 76ers' three-pointers are too fierce, with one small card and two Qin Hao, three three-pointers are 9 points.

Although the Rockets also scored goals, they were all two-pointers.

"Coach, what do we do now?"

"coach."

A group of players looked at Coach McHale, and they were confused. They had never encountered such a thing, and they couldn't react.

Coach McHale took a deep breath and said: "Play as you want, just as I said before, suppress the rhythm, play positional warfare, be patient, and score the ball. In addition, you must protect the rebound, We have an advantage in interior height."

One person asked, "What about defense?"

"Defense?" Coach McHale frowned. The lineup of the 76ers gave them a headache to defend, and he felt that they were not in the right place. In the end, he could only order: "Let's defend like this, pay attention to the opponent's three-pointers, and expand the defense line a little bit." , be active in supplementary defense, understand?"
