Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 671 The Gap Between Lineup

boom!
With a muffled sound, Qin Hao missed this shot.

However, this goal still surprised the Bulls players. They knew that Qin Hao had an accurate three-pointer, not to mention that Qin Hao only scored one just now.

Rose also breathed a sigh of relief. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Qin Hao for a while, then took the ball in the backcourt and started to attack.

After coming to the frontcourt, Rose did not play singles immediately, but observed the situation on the court, and then asked for a pick-and-roll, broke through Qin Hao and passed the ball to Boozer.Boozer dribbled the ball and came to a position close to the ring. Speights thought he was going to shoot and jumped up subconsciously, but he was fooled.

Snapped!
beep!
Thugs, blow the whistle.

The referee called Speights a foul and signaled Boozer to the free throw line.

Boozer's free throws were still good, reaching 70.00%, accompanied by two "swish", made two free throws, and scored two points.

However, Qin Hao looked at Rose: "I thought he would hit me directly, but in the end he used a pick-and-roll to score. He is indeed a popular candidate for MVP. It seems difficult to make him lose his composure." Regarding this, Qin Hao In fact, it is not surprising that Ross, like him, has a big heart, and the more critical the moment, the calmer he is.

Such a person is difficult to be easily teased.

In the next few rounds, Qin Hao and Rose had a tacit understanding and did not continue to entangle. Qin Hao also began to mobilize his teammates to organize the offense, but the lineup of the 76ers was significantly different from that of the Bulls.

This season, the Bulls were able to achieve the No. [-] result in the Eastern Conference. Of course, Rose contributed a lot, but other Bulls players also made great contributions.

Boozer averaged 17.5 points and 9.6 rebounds per game, Luol Deng averaged 17.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game, and Noah averaged 11.7 points and 10.4 rebounds per game.

Not to mention Rose and Luol Deng, only the inside combination of Boozer and Noah is enough for the 76ers to drink a pot.

The two combined averaged 20 rebounds per game this season, while Speights and Hawes combined only eleven or twelve, which is a big gap.

What's more, there is still a gap in scoring ability. Together, Boozer and Noah averaged nearly [-] points per game, while Speights + Hawes, together, averaged only [-] points per game.

Whether it's rebounding or scoring, the 76ers' inside combination averages less than half of the Bulls' inside combination.

From this it is not difficult to see the difference.

So after only a few minutes in the first quarter, Speights and Hawes couldn't do it.

At the same time, Qin Hao and Iguodala on the outside played well and played normally. Qin Hao made another three-pointer and continued to fire, but Brand played so-so.

This is mainly because the Bulls' lineup is too balanced, with Noah and Boozer on the inside, Luol Deng on the striker, Rose and Bogans on the outside, almost no weakness, and they are excellent both offensively and defensively.And Brand's scoring method is relatively simple, lacking three-pointers, so it is difficult to play.

After a few minutes, the Bulls led by 14 points 9:5.

After that, Coach Luke asked for a timeout and began to make substitutions, replacing Hawes with Thaddeus Young. He planned to use speed to deal with the Bulls just like he played against the Wizards before.

However, the Bulls were clearly prepared. Coach Tom Thibodeau responded quickly and quickly replaced Noah and Bogans with Ty Gibson and three-point shooter Kyle Korver.

Qin Hao couldn't help frowning when he saw the opponent replace these two people. Gibson is 206cm tall, and he is a forward. He usually plays a power forward. No loss, and after Korver comes up, he can further open up space for Rose, and can further liberate Rose's offensive ability.

"In this way, we may not be so effective against the Bulls if we rely on speed." Qin Hao secretly said in his heart, a little helpless, "It's no accident that the number one in the Eastern Conference, just these role players, plus Derrick Rose, There's really no downside."

Before the start of the star grouping, this would be the most ideal team lineup configuration, a superstar with a few outstanding role players, a proper template for a strong team.

After that, as Qin Hao worried, the 76ers' idea of ​​relying on speed to deal with the Bulls failed, because the Bulls were also very fast.

The two sides began to fight each other, but the 76ers still fell behind.

The 76ers are at a disadvantage on the rebounds, and they are always at a disadvantage inside, and after Korver came up, he hit two three-pointers, which made the 76ers have to keep an eye on him, and once they want to keep an eye on him, You have to put it outside the three-point line, which will give Rose more room to break through.

The sudden cooperation of Rose and Korver, the defense and rebounding of Boozer and Gibson inside the Bulls completely took the upper hand.

"Pick and roll!"

Qin Hao came to the front court with the ball, first asked for a pick-and-roll, then broke through, hit the inside line, and jumped up to meet Boozer, but there was a "snap", Boozer fouled, and Qin Hao failed to score the ball .

The referee blew his whistle, gave Boozer a foul, and signaled Qin Hao to execute two free throws.

Qin Hao walked to the free throw line and made two free throws. At this time, most of the first quarter had passed, but the 76ers were still behind by 8 points. The difference between the two sides did not narrow, but widened again.

"beep"

Coach Luke asked for a timeout, with a solemn expression on his face, and when the players came down, he began to make substitutions, replacing Qin Hao, Brand, all in the first half, replacing Lu Wei, Holiday, and replacing Hawes again.

The opponent also made substitutions, Ross and Luol Deng were replaced by CJ Watson and Ronnie Brewer.

Although Rose and Luol Deng are missing, the Bulls still have the upper hand, and the inside is always the advantage. CJ-Watson and Ronnie-Brewer also performed very well.The two of them are not very good players, but they are still very good as a blue-collar backup.

"Almost no shortcomings, a main lineup with both offense and defense, and Gibson, Korver, Brewer, Watson and other substitute players." Sitting on the bench, Qin Hao sighed secretly, "From the lineup we compare That's a big gap for the Bulls."

This is the background and strength of No. [-] in the East.

To become No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, players must not only be able to score, but also be able to defend and lose fewer points, so it becomes very important that the lineup has no weaknesses.

Once there is a defect in your lineup, it will become a point for the opponent to use. Even if the offense is invincible, it may be dragged down by the defense.

Qin Hao turned his head and looked at Coach Luke, but he happened to meet Coach Luke's gaze. The two looked at each other and nodded.What he could think of, and Coach Luke also thought of it, the 76ers still have big problems. If the team wants to become better, they must solve these problems.

And the first to bear the brunt is the weak inside line.
