Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 770 The last regular season game!
Philadelphia, Wachovia Center.

Amidst the uproar of more than 1 spectators at the scene, the game officially began.

The 76ers are still Nene, Speights, Brand, Iverson, and Qin Hao.

For the Mavericks, the starting lineup is center Tyson Chandler, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward Peja Stojakovic, shooting guard Jason Terry, point guard Jason Key Germany.

First it was a jump ball, the Mavericks got the ball, Kidd advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, Qin Hao quickly went forward, threw directly beyond the three-point line, and launched an oppressive defense.

"Huh?" Kidd frowned.

Although he knew what today's game meant to the 76ers, and expected that the 76ers would definitely work hard, but he was a little surprised by the oppressive defense at the beginning.

Moreover, Qin Hao is not the only one, other players of the 76ers are also oppressive defenses, Brand and Iverson also directly rushed to the three-point line.

You must know that this era is not yet an era where three-pointers are prevalent, and most defenses will shrink to within the three-point line, defending across the three-point line.

But today the 76ers are not.

"Aren't they worried about defending so far forward and leaving such a large space inside the three-point line?" Kidd thought to himself, and gestured, "Pick and roll."

The 76ers defended very forward, with a lot of space inside the three-point line.

Kidd's approach is also very targeted, with such a large space, as long as a pick-and-roll gets rid of the defender, he can easily break through, and then he can handle it calmly whether he lays up or divides the ball.

Seeing Kidd's gesture, Chandler mentioned the pick-and-roll on the three-point line. Kidd took the opportunity to get rid of it, but just took a step when he was surprised to find that Qin Hao was blocking him again.

"What?" Kidd was taken aback. He didn't expect that Qin Hao's speed and reaction were so quick that he blocked him again in an instant.

Kidd is now 38 years old, a real veteran, as an excellent point guard, with his rich experience and the team's tactical system, he can still perform well, but he can face Qin Qin one-on-one. For a young man like Hao who is fast, tall enough, and full of vigor, he can't do what he wants.

In desperation, Kidd could only split the ball and pass it to Terry.

Terry is playing singles with the ball, and he is very confident against Iverson. After all, Iverson is now at the end of his career.

laugh!
With a breakthrough in a change of direction, Terry missed half of Iverson, but before he was happy, the 76ers quickly shrank the line of defense and surrounded him.

"Not good." Terry's heart jumped, and he plunged into the encirclement. He was just about to retreat, but found that the back road was blocked by Iverson.

Surrounded by 76ers.

Kidd, Nowitzki and others couldn't help frowning. The 76ers' defense was like an open pocket. It seemed that there was a lot of space and air leaked from all sides, but in fact it was just a bait.

When Terry plunged into the pocket, the 76ers quickly gathered, trapping Terry inside, and it was a bit dangerous to pass the ball out.

After all, Terry is only 188 cm tall.

"Damn." Terry had no choice but to force his shot, but the interference was too great and the chance was not good. The basketball bounced out of the basket, and Qin Hao, who was rushed over, put it in his arms.

Kidd also wants to grab rebounds. His rebounding ability is actually very good. At his peak, he averaged [-] rebounds per game, and getting a triple-double is also common.

But from one moment to another, Kidd today is no longer what he was back then.

What's more, it is fighting with Qin Hao, no matter in height or jumping, he is not as good as Qin Hao.

"Quick attack!"

Qin Hao shouted and immediately launched a fast attack.

All of a sudden, the players rushed towards the Mavericks half court, and the Mavericks immediately launched a chase, but the speed was too slow, and they were quickly thrown away.

In a blink of an eye, Qin Hao crossed the center line and came to the three-point line. He hit the ground and passed the ball to Iverson on the other side. Terry, who had already chased back, turned and rushed towards Iverson subconsciously.Iverson jumped up, but he didn't go up himself, but threw the ball to the other side.

At the same time, Qin Hao reached, grabbed the ball and soared into the sky, a one-handed dunk.

"Bang!"

There was an explosion, causing the audience to erupt.

In the next few rounds, the 76ers defended oppressively, and the formation was like a pocket. As long as the Mavericks broke through, they would immediately close up.

Naturally, this is not without disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it is easy to shrink. Once the players do not have a tacit understanding and there is a problem with the closing of the pocket, even if it is only a little bit slower, or there is a gap, the entire defense is tantamount to over.

Either the opposing player directly scored a layup, or the opponent passed the ball, because the 76ers closed their pockets and left the outside players, there will definitely be open opportunities.

But the benefits are also obvious.

First of all, the players' man-to-man and oppressive defense will put a lot of pressure on the Mavericks; secondly, once the defense is down, because the 76ers gather the defense line, the players will gather within the three-point line. There are advantages.

If not, with the player configuration of the 76ers, rebounding will suffer a lot.

Mavericks center Chandler is 216 cm tall, Nowitzki is 213 cm tall, and Peja is 206 cm tall. From the striker to the inside, the Mavericks have an advantage in height.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, Qin Hao made a jump shot.

At this time, the score has become 10:4, and the 76ers lead by 6 points.

On the edge of the court, Coach Luke nodded secretly, and the assistant coach beside him looked at the court and said with a smile: "Our tactics have worked."

Coach Luke said: "This is also a helpless move. In terms of overall strength, we are actually not as good as the Mavericks. If we play step by step, we will suffer from height and inside. We are probably not the opponent of the Mavericks. With a height disadvantage, we cannot compete with the Mavericks. Fighting positional warfare, you can only use the sword to go sideways."

The Mavericks have Kidd, Nowitzki, Peja, and Chandler. Not only do the Mavericks have advantages in front and inside height, once they fall into a positional battle, the Mavericks also have an advantage in tactical configuration.

Therefore, Coach Luke did not send Mozkov, and Speights was still the starter. They could not fight positional warfare, but could only fight back and speed up the offensive and defensive rhythm.

Only in this way can we maximize our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and reverse the strength gap between the two sides.

on the field.

The head coach of the Mavericks has already noticed something is wrong, and Kidd, as an experienced veteran and an excellent point guard, is also aware of the problem.

So Kidd is working hard to suppress the rhythm, trying to bring the game into the familiar rhythm of the Mavericks, slow down the speed, play positional warfare, and hit the success rate.

However, Qin Hao is constantly speeding up, using counterattacks to drive the rhythm of the game and avoid falling into positional battles.

The fans watched you come and go on the court, playing lively, but not many people realized that the key was actually Qin Hao and Kidd.
