Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 585 Waiting for an Opportunity
Moments later, players from the Hornets also arrived.

Marcus Thornton, Willie Green, Peja Stojakovic, Jason Smith, these are all substitute players, behind them are the main players, Trevor Ariza, Karl Rand Here, Marco Belinelli, David West, and Hornets star Chris Paul.

Qin Hao's eyes fell on Paul. In the NBA where there are so many people, Paul's height is a disadvantage, but with a height of 183 cm, he has achieved results that others may not be able to achieve in his entire life after entering the NBA in just a few seasons , Assists king, steals king, averaged double-doubles for three consecutive seasons, was selected as an All-Star substitute, was selected as an All-Star starter, and was selected to the best team 2 teams and 1 team.

What Qin Hao admires the most is that with a height of 183cm, he can be selected to the second or first team of the league's best defensive team for several consecutive years.

This is very bullshit.

Everyone knows that being too short is a disadvantage on the defensive end, but Paul has been selected to the best defensive team for several consecutive years, which shows how powerful he is.

Paul also saw Qin Hao, and looked away after seeing Qin Hao twice.

Qin Hao also looked away and started to warm up.

"Shh!"

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

It has been half a year since the breakthrough of the three-pointer. With every breakthrough and technical transformation, Qin Hao will usher in a period of rapid growth.In half a year, Qin Hao's three-point shooting and breakthrough have improved a bit, and he has fully adapted to the NBA's three-point line (nba's three-point line is 91.5cm farther than ncaa).

It's just that the mid-range jumper has not been able to break through, which limits his overall strength.

After some warm-up, the players returned to the sidelines.

The 76ers here.

Qin Hao and others surrounded Coach Collins, and Coach Collins said: "Holiday, Iguodala, Brand, Nosinho, Hawes, wait for you guys to start."

No surprises, Qin Hao is just a substitute.

Then Coach Collins spread out the tactical board and began to arrange: "Holiday, your task is to watch Paul. And the rest of you, pay attention to cutting off the connection between Paul and his teammates, and cut off the connection between him and the inside players. Hawes, Nosinho, be careful not to miss anyone."

"On the offensive end, just play according to what we usually train." After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands, "Come on, pass the ball more, and play our tactics."

This is a preseason game, and it is for practicing tactics and cultivating tacit understanding. In fact, winning or losing is not that important, as long as the goal of training is achieved.

Not far away, Hornets coach Monty Williams also arranged.

Players from both sides stepped onto the court. The Hornets started with center Emeka Okafor, power forward David West, small forward Trevor Ariza, shooting guard Marco Gallinelli, and point guard G. Reece Paul.

First the jump ball, the 76ers get the ball and start the offense.
Assistant coach Luca sat down next to Qin Hao. He was very optimistic about Qin Hao. In addition, although Qin Hao was talented, he was not arrogant at all. He trained very hard. In addition to completing the daily training, he would stay alone Extra practice.Moreover, he has a humble and polite personality, which made Luca's assistant coach have a good impression of him, and he usually takes good care of Qin Hao.

"Qin." Luka's assistant coach pointed to the field and said to Qin Hao: "When you are not on the field, you can't be distracted, and you must always pay attention to the game. This is not only to let your teammates know that you are supporting them, but also for yourself . You're going to watch the game, read the game."

"Observe your teammates, observe your opponents, observe the trend of the game, and when you play, you will know how to play, understand?"

Hearing this, Qin Hao nodded repeatedly: "Understood."

on the field.

Three minutes passed quickly in the first quarter, and the 3ers fell into a disadvantage.

Holiday was not able to restrain Paul. After all, there is still a big gap between him and Paul. It is too difficult for a player of Paul's level to guard him.

I saw Paul strolling on the court, scoring by himself, or mobilizing his teammates, and sending wonderful passes for his teammates, playing very easily.

Of course, this is also related to the low defensive intensity in the preseason.

"Pick and roll." Paul asked for a pick and roll, caught the pick and roll to get rid of Holiday, but Hawes didn't step forward to delay the first time, giving Paul a lot of space.

Seeing this, Paul directly made an iconic mid-range shot.

Luka's assistant coach shook his head and sighed: "Hawes and Nosinho have only joined the team after all, and the cooperation with teammates is a problem. He should go up and delay this ball as soon as possible."

Qin Hao hummed and looked at the field.

The reason why the 76ers fell into a disadvantage has a lot to do with Hawes and Nosinho not being well integrated into the team's tactical system, but another reason is because of Holiday.

The core of the Hornets is Paul, and Holiday obviously failed to restrain Paul, allowing Paul to play with ease, revitalizing the whole team, and the Hornets played a lot.

In turn, Paul restrained Holiday.

"As expected of a player who has been in the best defensive team year after year." Qin Hao sighed in his heart. Although Paul's height is not as good as Holiday's by a full ten centimeters, his defense is very good and he is very targeted. Holiday interfered, disrupting his rhythm.

In a few minutes, Holiday was not only blocked in his individual attack, but also failed to complete the organizational task well, and was even intercepted by Paul.

"Request a timeout."

Coach Collins called a timeout with an ugly face.

Although this is a preseason game, it is mainly about training, and the outcome is not that important. Generally, the main players will not play for a long time, nor will they go all out.

But Holiday played too hip.

Playing against Paul, whether it's offensive organization or defense, being completely overwhelmed by Paul made Coach Collins a little bit uncomfortable.

"Substitution." Coach Collins glanced around the bench and said, "Meeks, go up and replace Holiday. Guard Paul, understand?"

"Understood." Meeks promised loudly, turned to look at Qin Hao, but did not dare to show his teeth.

Having suffered under Qin Hao, Meeks has also learned to behave.

Luka's assistant coach sighed secretly, patted Qin Hao, and comforted: "It's okay, it's up to you later."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "I think so too." With Meeks' ability, Qin Hao didn't think he could do better than Holiday, and it was impossible to restrain Paul. Organizationally, Meeks is much worse than Holiday.

So although Qin Hao was really annoyed at coach Collins' dislike and even prejudice towards him, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, Meeks couldn't stay up for a few minutes, and he would come down soon. He just had to do well. Prepare and wait for your opportunity.
