Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 659 Positive Hawes
"The first is defense." Assistant Luke said: "The opponent's inside strength is only David Lee, and David Lee's height is only 206cm. We have an advantage in the height of the inside." To Speights and Hawes, "Speights, and Hawes, both of you are taller than the opponent's inside line. If you can't protect the rebound well, you can't justify it."

Before Speights could speak, Hawes had already said: "Coach, don't worry, I will definitely protect the rebound."

The head coach was replaced, and Hawes returned to the starting lineup. After experiencing the "trading turmoil", Hawes now feels like he has survived a catastrophe, and he wants to perform well.

He doesn't want to experience another "trading storm".

"Guaranteed to complete the task." Speights also said.

The regular starting lineup of the Warriors is David Lee, Louis Amundson, Dorell White, Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry, of which David Lee and Amundson are both tall 206cm, White is 201cm tall, Ellis and Curry are both 191cm tall, and they have no height advantage in the interior.

Therefore, Speights still has confidence in the inside combination of Shang Li and Edmondson, at least in rebounding, after all, height has the advantage.

"Well." Coach Luke nodded, then looked at Qin Hao and Iguodala, Brand, "Iguodala, you have to guard against Ellis, you are taller than him, you have to make good use of this, Be careful of his breakthrough. And Qin, Brand, you also have to do a good job of defense."

The three agreed in unison.

Then Coach Luke spread out the tactical board and said: "In terms of offense, we need to hit the inside line more and take advantage of the height disadvantage of the opponent's inside line. Also, we need to counterattack more and try to avoid falling into positional warfare."

Qin Hao frowned slightly, glanced at the Warriors, and said, "Coach, the starting lineup of the Warriors is not slow, and a counterattack against them may turn into a game of offense versus offense."

Coach Luke said with a smile: "What does that matter? Are we afraid that they will fail if we play offense against offense? As long as we protect the rebounds, we will have an advantage."

Hearing this, Qin Hao was stunned and also laughed.

Against the Warriors, the 76ers have a great advantage in height. Hawes and Speights on the inside are taller than each other, Brand is also a little taller than White, Qin Hao and Iguodala are both taller than each other. 198cm, several centimeters taller than Curry and Ellis.

Under such a premise, the 76ers have an advantage in rebounding, and in the game of attacking against attack and playing a quick counterattack, whoever has the rebounding advantage will have the upper hand.

After some arrangement, Coach Luke waved his hand: "Go!"

"Yes." Several people agreed and walked towards the field.

Coach Luke breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the players walk onto the court. He was still a little nervous as the head coach for the first time. Fortunately, today is against the Warriors.

Not far away, Warriors players also came to the court.

David Lee, Lou Amundson, Dorell White, Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry, the Warriors still have their regular starters.

The two sides jumped the ball. Hawes was full of energy today. He slapped the ball to the backcourt. Qin Hao controlled the ball and quickly pushed it to the frontcourt. Curry came forward. The two looked at each other. A change of direction accelerates.

"It's so fast." Curry's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly retreated.

But it was still too late.

Defense has never been Curry's strong point. When he participated in the NBA draft, he was not good enough because of his physical fitness, and the defensive end might become a loophole. Therefore, many scouts looked down upon him, thinking that he did not have the ability to play in the NBA. Adapt to nba games and confrontations.

Although Curry quickly proved himself after entering the NBA, he averaged 17 points per game in the rookie game. This season he has improved again, averaging 18.5 points per game, in addition to 5.8 assists, showing excellent scoring and good organizational skills.

But defensively, he does have some deficiencies.

With a whoosh, Qin Hao rushed past Curry.

After passing Curry in a change of direction, Qin Hao rushed to the inside, jumped up to meet David Lee, and threw the basketball with his right hand to the basket. ball.

Bang!
A loud noise came from behind, and David Lee was shocked, knowing that he had been fooled, Qin Hao was not throwing the ball, it was a pass.

Behind, Hawes hung the frame with both hands and roared excitedly.

Hawes had a terrible time during this period. He was worried every day, worried that he would be traded, and he was almost depressed.

After the empty dunk, he felt much more at ease. He couldn't help roaring loudly, with a smile on his face, ran to Qin Hao's side, and gave Qin Hao a high-five: "Beautiful pass."

Qin Hao nodded: "Prevention."

Hawes repeatedly agreed.

However, Qin Hao does not have much confidence in whether he can defend against David Lee. Although David Lee is only 206cm tall, he has excellent scoring ability and rebounding ability. Last season, he averaged 20.2 Points, 11.7 rebounds double-double data, and selected the All-Star bench.

Although David Lee's state has declined this season due to injuries, his scoring average has dropped to 16 points per game, and his average rebounds per game have only dropped to single digits. For a star-level player, Qin Hao felt that this was too difficult.

But to Qin Hao's surprise, he switched from offense to defense. David Lee singled Hawes with the ball in the low post.

Hawes was very active today. David Lee's turnaround jump shot was interfered by him. The basketball bounced out of the frame. Speights stuck Amundson, making the opponent unable to jump up. He grabbed the rebound and passed it to Qin Hao immediately.

"Counterattack!"

Qin Hao shouted and quickly launched a counterattack.

The 76ers counterattacked quickly, and the Warriors also retreated quickly. Qin Hao came to the frontcourt in a blink of an eye. Qin Hao took a look at the situation on the court. Curry, Ellis, White, and Edmondson had all completed their retreats. Defense, the speed of defense this time surprised him a bit.

On the 76ers side, besides him are Iguodala and Brand.

It is equal to 3 against 4.

"Will you play?" Qin Hao hesitated for a moment, then decided to play, passed the ball to Iguodala, and then immediately cut away, using his speed to throw away Curry, and shouted at Iguodala, "The ball .”

Whoosh!
The ball was passed, and Qin Hao grabbed the ball and rushed to the basket. Edmondson and White were in front of him. Qin Hao was 206v[-], but Edmondson was only [-]cm tall, so Qin Hao was so determined.

"Huh." Edmondson jumped up, trying to block the shot.

White also jumped up, and the two waved their arms together, one left and one right, trying to block Qin Hao, but Qin Hao suddenly took the ball back and pulled the bar in the air, avoiding the collision between the two. Block the shot and send the ball through the gap between the two.
