Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 667

On January 1, the 5ers played at home against the Washington Wizards.

This is the second time the 76ers have played against the Wizards this season, and it is also the second collision between Qin Hao and Wall this season.

Qin Hao won the last match between the No. [-] pick and the No. [-] pick.

That game made many people realize that although Wall is extremely good and worthy of the title of champion, Qin Hao is the uncrowned king.

And not long ago, after the game between the Warriors and the Clippers, there were fewer people talking about who was the "best rookie" this season. The discussions only revolved around Qin Hao and Griffin. Left behind by them.

However, fans of the Wizards and fans who support Wall still have expectations for Wall, hoping that he can take advantage of the victory and surpass Qin Hao.

Therefore, many fans are still very interested in this rematch between the No. [-] pick and No. [-].

7 pm.

The Wachovia Center, home of the 76ers.

Players from both sides had already arrived. Qin Hao only glanced at Wall, then quickly withdrew his gaze and began to warm up by himself.

For Qin Hao, especially after his mid-range shooting breakthrough, Wall is no longer his competitor.

Of course, Griffin, a strong contender for the "Best Rookie", is still very strong, but strictly speaking, Griffin is not a rookie in this class.

In other words, this year's rookies are no longer Qin Hao's competitors.

Qin Hao's goal is those stronger players.

At this moment, Wall looked at Qin Hao with less provocation in his eyes. Qin Hao's performance is strong enough, and the strong will naturally be respected.

After the warm-up is over, the players of both sides returned to the field, and the respective head coaches arranged the tactics.

With the start of the game whistle sounded, today's game kicked off.

Arenas was no longer in the Wizards lineup at this time, just like Qin Hao remembered.

The Wizards were disappointed with Arenas' performance after his comeback. With Wall as a potential star, the Wizards quickly realized that they should look to the future and rebuild the team around Wall.Of course, there is no Arenas in this reconstruction list.

Instead of waiting for Arenas' competitive status to continue to decline and eventually become worthless, it is better to trade the players he needs while he still has a little value.

So in mid-December, Arenas was traded to the Orlando Magic for Rashard Lewis.

It's just that the Magic also know the situation of Arenas, and the situation given by Rashad Lewis is not much better than that of Arenas.

The former All-Star player is now in a severe decline.

At his peak, Rashard Lewis averaged 22.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game.But now he averages only 12 points and 4 rebounds per game, which is almost half cut compared to his peak period.

Looking at Rashad Lewis not far away, Qin Hao didn't even boo. He was selected by the Seattle Supersonics with the 1998st overall pick in 31. "Gemini", even an inspirational player who once made the All-Star, is now no longer brilliant.

Speaking of which, Lewis and Arenas are really similar. Arenas became famous when he scored 60 points against the Lakers. Lewis is also the fourth player in the history of the Sonics to score more than 50 points in a single game.

It's really a pity.

The game has begun, and it is no secret that the 76ers are weak inside. Almost most teams in the league can take advantage of the 76ers' inside.

So today's Wizards' starting lineup is very targeted.

The center is McGee with a height of 213 centimeters, the power forward is Andre Blatche with a height of 211 centimeters, and the small forward is Rashard Lewis, who is also 208 centimeters tall.

Such a frontcourt combination completely crushed the 76ers in terms of height, and apart from McGee, Brac and Lewis both have very good scoring abilities.

So at the beginning of the game, the Wizards focused on the inside.

Wall's breakthrough can attract the inside players of the 76ers to step forward to delay, or rush to defend, and this gives the Wizards inside players a lot of opportunities.

After only a few minutes in the first quarter, the 76ers' inside line was completely crushed by the opponent. The score became 11:7, and the Wizards led by four points.

Coach Luka called a timeout.

He rearranged his tactics and said to Qin Hao: "Qin, we have to fight fast later. We have to pick up the rhythm and fight back. The faster the better."

"Yes, coach." Qin Hao agreed.

He understands what the coach means. The opponent has a great advantage in the interior, but when there is an advantage in height, speed will become a disadvantage.

Therefore, they must increase their speed, counterattack, and try to avoid positional warfare, so that they can make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

When they returned to the court, the 76ers accelerated the rhythm of offense and defense.

Coach Lu Kai replaced Hawes with Thaddeus Young, who is 203 cm tall, and let Yang take the 4th position.

This is a very bold personnel rotation, because after adding Thaddeus Young, the height of the 76ers will be further reduced. The tallest on the field is 208 cm Speights, and the defense in the interior will also further decline. .

But the advantage of this is that the counterattack speed has increased a lot, and Thaddeus Young has a certain three-point shooting ability.

For a while, led by Qin Hao, the 76ers began to fight against each other, and played a small climax with their excellent counterattack ability.

In a moment, the 76ers overtook the score.

Until the end of the first quarter, the 76ers still maintained their lead.

After entering the second quarter, Qin Hao started to explode and hit two consecutive three-pointers, stopping the Wizards at once.

By the end of the first half, the 76ers had led by eight points.

After entering the second half, Wall strengthened his personal offense, but whenever he scored a goal, Qin Hao would immediately retaliate, also scoring a goal, and it might even be a three-pointer.

Therefore, the difference between the two sides did not narrow, but was further widened. By the end of the third quarter, the 76ers had already led by double digits.

In the last quarter, the Wizards launched a counterattack.

It's just that the point difference between the two sides is too big. At the end of the third quarter, the Wizards were already behind by 12 points. It is not easy to catch up at this time.

In the end, the 76ers had the last laugh. When the game ended, the score was fixed at 116:108, and the 76ers defeated the Wizards.

Wall played very well in this game, scoring 24 points, plus 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

However, Qin Hao is better than him. He scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists in the game, crushing Wall in all statistics.

Moreover, in the direct confrontation between the two, Qin Hao had the upper hand. In the rematch between the No. [-] pick and No. [-], Qin Hao won again.
