Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 778 The first brother is back in the playoffs!
After two days of rest, the 76ers resumed training.

After some free training, Coach Luke gathered everyone together and started group confrontation training, but today's group confrontation training lineup has been adjusted.

"Today, Iguodala will participate in group confrontation training." Coach Luke announced.

This is not surprising.

In fact, Iguodala has resumed training before, but because he is still recovering, he is not suitable for high-intensity confrontation training. He just does recovery training by himself.

After a period of recovery training, it is also a normal process for Iguodala to return to confrontation training.

Everyone looked at Iguodala, and Iguodala was smiling with excitement in his eyes.

"Now divide into groups." Coach Luke continued: "Nene, Speights, Brand, Iguodala, Qin, you guys in Group A. Mozkov, Betty, Yang, Lu Wei, Ivor Sen, you guys from Group B. Well, get ready and start right away."

Everyone dispersed.

Adversarial training also started soon.

Looking at the players on the field, Coach Luke frowned slightly. Group A was okay. This lineup was there before Iguodala was injured, but Group B was a bit troublesome.

Mainly the backcourt, Lu Wei, Iverson, Holiday, how should the three defenders be arranged?

on the field.

Group B got the ball and started to attack. Iverson held the ball and advanced. Hit the board.

Group A counterattacked. Qin Hao passed the ball to Iguodala after going to the frontcourt. Iguodala seemed a little excited. After all, he hadn't participated in confrontation training for more than a month.

When Iguodala got the ball, it was a singles, a cross step, and then suddenly started, rushed to the inside and jumped up to face Mozkov, found a physical confrontation, and then shot.

boom!
The goal was missed.

After all, Mozkov has a height advantage. He put down the ball and got the rebound. He passed the ball to Iverson.

In the next few rounds, Iguodala was almost all playing in Group A. Today is his first day to participate in confrontation training, and he is a little anxious to get back to the game state.

But the effect is not good, continuous strikes.

And the performance of Group B also made Coach Luke frown. The backcourt combination of Iverson and Lu Wei is not ideal. cm, Iverson is 185 cm tall, and he suffers too much defensively.

"It seems that Iguodala hasn't recovered his form yet." Assistant coach Harry sighed: "But it's also because Iguodala is not in good condition these few minutes. The backcourt combination of Lu Wei has already been penetrated defensively."

"Yeah." Coach Luke frowned, writing and drawing with a tactical board in his hand.

When Iguodala returns, the team's lineup will inevitably need to make some adjustments.

How to adjust, which involves Iguodala's recovery, is also related to the configuration of the bench lineup, but now it seems that the situation is not very good, which makes Coach Luke feel a headache.

After a while, Coach Luke put down the tactical board, called a timeout, replaced Iverson with Holiday, let Holiday play the 1st position, and Lu Wei played the 2nd position.

This is the lineup commonly used in Group B in the past.

After this substitution, the situation in Group B has improved somewhat, but how to use Iverson has become a problem again.

As for Group A, Iguodala still didn't play well. This time he injured his right hand, but Qin Hao found that Iguodala's overall condition seemed to have declined. I don't know if it was because of a truce. After many months, the reason for not being able to adjust the state of the game.

When the intra-team match is over, the players are disbanded.

Coach Luke didn't leave in a hurry, but called a few assistant coaches and came to the coach's office to discuss the next lineup adjustment and tactical adjustment.

Qin Hao didn't leave either, but stayed to practice more
In the next few days, the group A of the match was still Nene, Speights, Brand, Iguodala, Qin Hao, but Iguodala's condition was not very good, which made Coach Luke a little helpless , With Iguodala's current state, it is a bit troublesome to deal with the playoffs.

The lineup of Group B has undergone several adjustments. Coach Luke has tried to put Iverson, Lu Wei, and Holiday on the field at the same time, plus Mozkov and Yang, forming a lineup of four small players. .

But defense is really a problem. Originally, Iverson and Iguodala were less than 1.9 meters tall, so they were at a disadvantage defensively. If they play one big and four small, then the "four small" are really too small.

Also changed the combination of Mozkov, Batty, Yang, Iverson and Holiday.

But what about a "sixth man" like Lu Wei?If Lu Wei's playing time is reduced and his possession of the ball is reduced, then his role will not be reflected.

This is a difficult problem, which gives Coach Luke a headache.

In the end, Coach Luke decided not to have a fixed lineup at all. Depending on the game situation, Iverson, Lu Wei, and Holiday will send the right people when the situation requires it.

After a few days of training, Coach Luke was dissatisfied and worried. With the current situation of the team, it is really difficult to face the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.

At the same time, Qin Hao was also a little worried.

The three-point shooting ability still has not been able to break through, and the opportunity has never appeared. Tomorrow is the first game of the playoffs. It is impossible to break through before the playoffs.

As the first round of the playoffs approached, every player of the 76ers felt the pressure, and they were much quieter during training.

After all, the next thing they have to face is No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.

After training that day, the 76ers rushed to Chicago. After a night's rest, they will usher in the first round of the playoffs in an away game-the opponent is the Chicago Bulls.

Three days ago, the regular season of all nba teams had ended, and the list of playoffs was officially announced.

Eight teams in the West have entered the playoffs, ranked in order of record: the Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks, Thunder, Nuggets, Trail Blazers, Hornets, and Rockets.

In the East, the Bulls have played very well this season. They have a record of 62 wins and 20 losses. They are not only the number one in the East, but also the number one in the league.

The Heat, with the Big Three, also had a record of 58 wins and 24 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference, followed by the Celtics, Magic, Eagles, Knicks, Pacers, and 76ers.

According to the rules of the playoffs, the eight teams from the East and the West are cross-matched. In the first round of the playoffs, the 76ers will face the No. [-] Bulls in the East.

There is no doubt that this is a huge test for the 76ers.
