Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 685 Standing up in times of adversity
The pause ends soon.

After the two sides returned to the court, the Timberwolves became more serious, no longer took it lightly, and went all out to deal with the 76ers.

At the same time, Love and Pekovic began to give play to their inside advantage.

Previously, Speights and Hawes were able to withstand their offensive with their passion, but now as the opponent stepped up their attack, and the physical problems of Speights and Hawes gradually became prominent, they could no longer withstand Le Foo and Pekovic's offense was off.

"Ball." Love took the ball and feinted, Speights took a step back subconsciously, and Love jumped up and shot.

A dry pull, the basketball hit the net.

After that, Love ran to the outside line. He had an outside shot and pulled the inside line open, allowing Ridnour and Pekovic to complete the pick-and-roll cooperation. Ridnor used the pick-and-roll to break through, and Pekovic cut along the middle. Ridnour gave the ball to the inside again, and Pekovic dunked with both hands.

At the same time, the Timberwolves also had an advantage in rebounding.

The three frontcourt players are all tall, and the Timberwolves themselves have a height advantage. The 76ers need to rely on activeness and everyone to fight for rebounds, but at the moment their tired bodies make their movements always slow. Naturally, the ball cannot be grabbed by the opponent.

After a while, the Timberwolves have reversed the situation, gradually narrowed the score, and overtook the score.

"Whoa, whoa"

The 76ers called a timeout, and the players came to the sideline, all panting.

There was exhaustion on every face. Coach Luke frowned and began to replace Qin Hao, Iguodala and others one after another.

Seven minutes have passed in the first quarter. In the past, they could have played again, but not today. They were too tired and had to be replaced earlier to let the substitutes share the burden.

But after replacing the substitute players, the situation is not much better.

After all, the main substitute players, Lu Wei, Thaddeus Young, and Holiday played for a long time before, and they were also very tired.

In fact, the 76ers don't have many people available. Besides a few main players, Lu Wei, Yang, and Holiday are more reliable substitutes.Others, such as Batty, Meeks, and Nosinho, can play a limited role.So in many cases, the 76ers actually rotate eight or nine people.

boom!
With a muffled sound, Holiday hit the iron.

The Timberwolves counterattacked and scored, and began to widen the point difference.

Fortunately, near the end of the first quarter, Lu Wei hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, saving a point for the 76ers.When the first quarter ended, the score was 26:23, and the 76ers trailed by 3 points.

Entering the second quarter, the situation has not improved, and the situation is even more unfavorable to the 76ers, because as the game progresses, the 76ers players are exhausted and feel more exhausted.

When the first half ended, the point difference had been stretched to 10 points, reaching a critical point.

"Nice job."

"Haha, I said a long time ago that I will definitely win today. If you can't even beat such a 76ers team, it would be too embarrassing."

"The physical problems of the 76ers are beginning to show. Their defensive movements have slowed down. They are going to be finished."

During the intermission, the home fans in the auditorium were discussing excitedly.

The 76ers have already shown physical problems, and the troubles brought to them by the "Devil's away game" have begun to become prominent, while the Timberwolves have the upper hand, now leading by 10 points, and they can continue to expand the point difference later.

This game seems to be really stable.

In the locker room.

Qin Hao looked at his teammates around him and didn't say anything else. It's not that the teammates didn't want to play well. They worked hard in the first half, but they were too tired.

Qin Hao is better than his teammates in this regard, because his body is special, and his recovery ability is far beyond ordinary people. Although he has experienced the Devil's away game and played a lot of time, his physical fitness is actually the best among the players of the 76ers. one of.

"In the second half, I have to rely on myself." Qin Hao thought to himself, his eyes became as sharp as a blade.

Today is the devil's fifth away game, a total of six away games, and the last game will go to San Antonio to challenge the Spurs away.

It is difficult to beat the Spurs with the strength of the 76ers, let alone after five consecutive away games and two back-to-back games.

For the last away game, Qin Hao did not report any expectations. After all, the Spurs can be said to be the most stable team in the league.

Therefore, against the Timberwolves, they must win.

"beep"

At the beginning of the second half, both sides put in the starting lineup, and the Timberwolves led by 10 points.

Love and the others came to the court, their eyes gleaming with excitement. They wanted to further widen the point difference and make the 76ers no longer able to resist.

The 76ers attack.

Qin Hao advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and looked at the situation on the field. The Timberwolves were not a very good defensive team, but the teammates were not in good condition at this time, and their moving speed slowed down a lot.

"Huh." Qin Hao exhaled, looked away, looked at Ridnor in front of him, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and accelerated.

Ridnour quickly retreated.

But at this moment, Qin Hao retreated quickly, moved his toes, retreated outside the three-point line, and immediately made a three-point shot.

Ridnour is 188 centimeters tall, ten centimeters shorter than Qin Hao, and with Qin Hao's retreat step, he completely got rid of the defense.

Swish!
With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

It was a three-pointer, which directly narrowed the point difference to 7 points.

But turning around, Love also scored one, and the point difference became 9 points again.

Tens of seconds later, Qin Hao moved and circled along the inside line. His teammates understood and gave Qin Hao a pick-and-roll cover. Qin Hao got rid of the defense and came to the right corner outside the three-point line. Iguodala has been Waiting, immediately passed the ball to Qin Hao.

Swish!
Another three-point hit.

With two consecutive three-pointers, the Timberwolves fans in the auditorium were startled, but the face of the Timberwolves coach on the sidelines has changed a little.

"Defend well, guard him well." The Timberwolves coach shouted to the court: "Keep an eye on him, don't let him have a chance to shoot a three-pointer."

After that, the 76ers began to focus on defending Qin Hao's three-pointers, but Qin Hao not only knew how to shoot three-pointers, but immediately changed his style of play and began to break through,

Whoosh!
The figure flashed, and Ridnor was shocked, a little unbelievable: "How is this possible? Why is he still so fast at this time?"

He only felt that Qin Hao was gone in a blink of an eye.

You must know that the players of the 76ers moved slowly at this time, but Qin Hao could still have such a speed, which made Ridnour feel very unscientific.

I saw Qin Hao speed up past Ridnor with a change of direction, and then rushed into the inside line quickly. Pekovic jumped up to block the shot, but Qin Hao paused in the air, changed hands, and changed the ball to his left hand , after evading the block, made a reverse basket from the left side of the basket.
