Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 679 Ghost Coach
At the end of the first quarter, with Butler's unexpected performance in the final stage, the Pistons chased the point difference to only 1 point, with a score of 27:28.

During the intermission, fans in the auditorium were talking about Butler.

"The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong. Butler's play today seems to be very different from before. Those few shots seem to be stealing his teammates."

"Don't worry about it so much, it's fine if the goal is scored?"

"That's right, what happened to the one who snatched his teammates? Didn't he score in the end? If you let your teammates play, it may not be possible to score."

"Too."

Butler's performance today surprised many fans. The key point is that he was so sao that the fans didn't know what to say.

Qin Hao looked at Butler from a distance, and the two exchanged a look. Qin Hao gave him a thumbs up, and Butler replied, "Brother, I won't embarrass you."
There was eye contact the whole time, and nothing was said.

It's just unfortunate that it was photographed by a reporter on the sidelines. A reporter with a beard and a potbellied stomach put down the camera in satisfaction, thinking about whether to make up some frivolous news, or not to let Qin Hao and Bart down. Le these eyebrows?
The second quarter starts soon.

Butler was pushed to the bench.

This made him very angry, I scored three goals in a row, why did you let me sit on the bench, coach, I want to play.

The result is of course not.

Some fans can't see the truth, but how can they hide from the head coach of the Pistons, the three goals were obviously made by Butler to grab his teammates.

Although he scored, this approach is not worth advocating, so the head coach of the Pistons put him on the bench decisively.

Both sides sent a lineup of main players and substitutes, but the only main player on the 76ers side was Speights, and the other four were Nosinho, Thaddeus Young, Lu Wei, and Huo Le Di.

Pistons are Will Bynum, Ben Gordon, Tracy McGrady, Ben Wallace, Chris Wilcox.

From the perspective of the lineup, the Pistons are not bad. McGrady is one of the strongest shooting guards ever. Ren Ben Gordon seems to be much more gorgeous than the 76ers.

It's a pity that whether it is McGrady, Wallace, or Gordon, they are all past their prime years, and their combat power is much worse than when they were at their peak.

The problem with the Pistons is that they are too old. Almost all the main players in the team are over 30 years old, or close to 30 years old, and their competitive status cannot be guaranteed.

So the Pistons missed the playoffs in the past two seasons. With Hamilton injured this season, the record fell to No. 12 in the East.

At this time, the Pistons' bench lineup is obviously not the opponent of the 76ers. Lu Wei, Thaddeus Young, Holiday, Speights, these players are very young and full of impact on the court.

This is unmatched by McGrady, Wallace, Gordon and others.

"The head coach of the Pistons is really a genius. Three veterans with an average age of over 30 years old, but not Butler, a young man who played well in the first quarter." Coach Luke couldn't help laughing. Don't understand the other party's operation, but he likes it very much.

It's very nice!

But after a while, the point difference was pulled to 6 points.

The head coach of the Pistons finally couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up, called a timeout, looked back at the bench, hesitated for a moment, and still shouted: "Butler, come on, replace McGrady."

"Yes." Butler agreed.

Afterwards, the head coach of the Pistons couldn't live with his tactics again, and finally pulled Butler to stop him from doing what he did in the first quarter.

Of course, he also told other players to share the ball more, that is to say, pass the ball to Butler, and don't let him be just a running companion.

After coming to the court, Butler ran back and asked for the ball.

Just after the coach told him, his teammates passed the ball to Butler. Butler took the ball and made a tentative step, then suddenly started and rushed to the inside.

The 76ers only had one Speights on the inside, and Nosinho was strictly a striker. Speights took a step forward and blocked Butler. Together, make a dull sound.

"Damn!" Speights gasped, feeling as if he had been hit by a stone.

Hearing this familiar mantra, Butler felt very cordial. After leaning on Speights to score the ball, he smiled at Speights. He was about to reply "Gan" when he suddenly realized that this is a verb, not a noun. , then swallowed it back.

After that, Butler made a three-pointer, but failed to make it. He is really not a three-point shooter. Although he can shoot a three-pointer, he is not stable enough.

But soon he got another backcourt rebound, launched a counterattack by himself, hit the basket with strong confrontation ability, encountered a foul, but went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

Butler's performance today made the fans' eyes shine. After only a few minutes in the second quarter, Butler's personal score has reached 10 points, which is in double figures.

"Butler played really well today."

"Yeah, it's just that he missed the three-point shot. Isn't he a three-point shooter?"

Qin Hao heard the discussion in the auditorium and almost made him laugh out loud. Butler is a three-point shooter. Who the hell said that?
After coming up from Butler, the Pistons recovered their decline.

Butler's role is not only reflected in the offensive end, but also in the defensive end. He mainly defends Lu Wei, and Lu Wei is a very important scoring point for the 76ers. He is efficient under Butler's defense. Not high, it directly affected the offense of the 76ers.

Seeing that the point difference narrowed rapidly, Coach Luke made a substitution, replacing Qin Hao and Iguodala Qiqi.

At the same time, the Pistons also made substitutions.

Fortunately, the talented coach of the Pistons did not continue to perform sao operations this time, and did not replace Butler, but replaced Gordon and Wallace, and replaced Prince and Stuckey.

The 76ers attack.

Qin Hao passed the ball to Iguodala when he came to the frontcourt. Butler quickly stepped forward to defend Iguodala. Iguodala tried it, but failed to find a chance.He frowned secretly, feeling a little afraid of Butler's defense, and passed the ball without any reluctance.

After passing the ball twice again, the 76ers still failed to find a chance, and the ball returned to Qin Hao's hands. Qin Hao glanced at the timer, and there were only 24 seconds left in 5 seconds.

"It's too late to break through, so I can only shoot." Qin Hao thought to himself, and suddenly stepped out with his right foot, taking a tentative step.

Stucky was defending him. Stucky was 196cm tall, not much worse than Qin Hao, but he was still afraid of Qin Hao's speed, and subconsciously took half a step back.

At this moment, Qin Hao retracted his foot and pulled it out suddenly.
