Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 715 Internal Incompatibility

Without Qin Hao on the court, the first-year team quickly fell into a disadvantage.

At this time, Qin Hao, Griffin, Wall, Cousins, and Turner were all absent, and the remaining few players were inferior to the second-year team in terms of personal ability.

After all, the opponent is a second-year player. Although Curry and Harden have also been replaced, but also as substitute players, the second-year team's substitute lineup is obviously stronger.

So when the first quarter ended, the point difference was narrowed to only one point.

Butler came to the sidelines, a little depressed, Qin Hao smiled, and hugged Butler's shoulders: "It's okay, don't we still lead by one point? Besides, it's not your fault, Favors, Fields, Brad Ledsaw and the others didn't play well either."

Having said that, Butler still felt a little ashamed. Before Qin Hao they played so well on the field, but Qin Hao couldn't do it right away.

Looking at the good brothers around him, Butler felt a little lost.

Back then at Syracuse University, the strengths of the two were about the same, Qin Hao was only slightly stronger and more comprehensive, but now that he has entered the NBA and played for two-thirds of the season, the gap between the two seems to have widened a lot.

"Qin Hao has become the favorite of the 'Best Rookie', the number two of the 76ers, and was almost selected as an All-Star. But I am still struggling to enter the starting lineup." Butler lamented, then shook He shook his head and cheered up again, "It's okay, I can still catch up. Qin Du said that I will definitely become one of the best players in the future, and he never misses what he said."

Of course Qin Hao didn't know what Butler was thinking, but he really didn't fool Butler.

Some players can shine when they enter the NBA, such as Griffin, Wall, and Cousins.

But some people need to grow up slowly. Butler is just one of them. He was also selected for the Rookie Challenge. The other two future All-Star players in the 10th rookie, George and Hayward, are they also substitutes?And none of them were selected for the Rookie Challenge.

All Butler lacks is time and opportunity.

"Let me talk about it." Coach Budenholzer greeted everyone, first gave Qin Hao a look of approval, affirmed his performance in the first quarter, and then spread out the tactical board, "Our advantage is internal and external balance. There are enough people in each position, so we need to strengthen our defense and be more serious. Also, share the ball more and don’t think about your own performance. Even if you perform well and score a lot of points, if the team If you lose, you won't get the mvp."

Some people want to win the mvp. Coach Budenholzer can see this. For example, Qin Hao, Griffin, and Wall also have ideas about the mvp, while Cousins ​​is just purely violent.

But if Wall gets the chance, he certainly wouldn't mind giving his former teammate a hand.

There is nothing wrong with the players wanting to win the MVP. Coach Budenholzer understands it very well, but the method must be paid attention to-after all, you must win first, otherwise it is useless.

"Okay, get ready and go on stage."

After some arrangement, Coach Budenholzer waved his hand to signal everyone to come on stage.

Qin Hao didn't play, but Wall, Griffin, and Cousins ​​were sent up. They didn't play for long in the first quarter, so they should calm down now.

They were joined by Fields and Bledsoe.Butler was not sent up. Coach Budenholzer was very satisfied with the performance of Qin Hao and Butler in the first quarter. He also saw that the two of them worked best together, so he made a special adjustment and let Butler play later. Go up with Qin Hao.

on the field.

The second-year team attacked, and they had too many guards, so they still sent a lineup of one big and four small, with Gibson inside, plus Jennings, Holiday, Matthews, and Evans.

Holiday served as a point guard. After coming to the front court, he did not pass the ball to Jennings, but passed it to Matthews. Matthews was fairly selfless. After breaking through, he split the ball and gave it to Evans. Vince caught the ball and saw that the defender didn't rush forward, and immediately shot a three-pointer.

Swish!
With a soft bang, Hollow hit.

The first-year team counterattacked, Wall held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, Griffin rushed to him for the ball in the low post, Wall hesitated for a while, thinking of the coach's instructions, he still passed the ball.

Griffin is still playing singles with the ball, because at this time it is a low-post single defense, and the defender is Evans. Although Evans has good physical fitness, he is only 198 cm tall, which is much worse than Griffin.

So there is no problem with this single defeat.

But Griffin failed to score.

There was a "bang", maybe Griffin felt that he must be able to catch Evans, and it was too casual, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Fortunately, there is Cousins ​​in the interior. The first-year team has an absolute height advantage. Cousins ​​grabbed the offensive rebound, but was immediately double-teamed. Griffin retreated and came to a place one step inside the three-point line. Sins asked for the ball, but Cousins ​​ignored it and passed it to Wall.

Wall caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

In the next few rounds, although Wall did not deliberately not pass the ball to Griffin, he often passed it to others when others had a chance, or to Cousins.

Griffin has an advantage in the low post, so doesn't Cousins ​​also have an advantage?

You are an inside player, what is your ability to bully other defenders in the low post?
Cousins, on the other hand, is more direct, and has no communication with Griffin's inside combination at all. The two of you hit yours and I hit mine, and they can do whatever they want defensively.

"Shh!"

The second-year team's goal came from Matthews' breakthrough.

Cousins ​​and Griffin stood on the side alone, but neither of them went to make up the defense. When Matthews scored a layup, the two stared wide-eyed.

"Why don't you defend yourself?"

"You said me, then why don't you go?"

"You are a center forward, isn't this what you should do?"

"Could it be that the power forward doesn't need to make up the defense, so what else do you need?"

For a while, the two almost didn't fight.

Seeing this, Coach Budenholzer's face turned black, and he immediately called a timeout. He didn't talk nonsense with Griffin and Cousins, but secretly decided not to let Griffin and Cousins ​​play together later. .

Such a combination of insiders is completely harmful and useless.

The two insiders need to communicate more and cooperate, especially on the defensive end, otherwise it is easy to miss and be easily scored.

Obviously, Griffin and Cousins ​​​​are not compatible.

"Coach." Anthony, who is the assistant coach of the first-year team today, suggested: "Substitute, replace Qin, and Butler, they played well in the first quarter."

"Yeah." Coach Budenholzer nodded, and gave Griffin and Cousins ​​an unhappy look. If this was his player, he would have scolded him, "Substitution. Qin, Butler, you two One." He paused for a moment before saying, "Replace Griffin and Wall."

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, wouldn't it be Cousins?
