Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 779 Challenge the Eastern Conference in the first round of the playoffs!
Chicago, United Center.

Today is the first game of the first round of the playoffs. According to the rules of the playoffs, the team with the highest record has home court advantage, so the first game of this series will be held at the home court of the Bulls.

The Bulls have an excellent record this season. Rose has performed at the mvp level. Bulls fans seem to see the hope of revival.

The auditorium was filled with Bulls fans.

Entering the playoffs is naturally different from the regular season. The attendance rate is higher, more fans are present, and the atmosphere is more enthusiastic. The hustle and bustle reverberates in the arena.

"How many games do you think this series can win?"

"Let's play 4 games, and kill the 4ers 0:76. With the strength of the Bulls, it doesn't take much trouble to beat the 76ers, just sweep it."

"That's right, the Bulls are No. 76 in the Eastern Conference. Playing against the 4ers is no small feat. Four games are enough."

In the eyes of the fans, where is the strength gap between the 76ers and the Bulls? One is first in the Eastern Conference and the other is eighth in the Eastern Conference.

Naturally, there is no need to say more about the outcome of this series.

at the same time.

In the Bulls locker room, a group of Bulls players were laughing and talking, the atmosphere was relaxed, and they were full of confidence against the 76ers, the eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

"It's finally the playoffs, and I can't wait."

"Me too."

"The Heat are still difficult to deal with. The Big Three are indeed very strong, but no matter how strong they are, we still have to beat the Heat. Our goal is the championship."

Several players were discussing, but the 76ers were not mentioned.

For the Bulls, they have only one goal, and that is the championship, and they have only one threat in the East, and that is the Heat.

Seeing that his teammates didn't care about the 76ers, Rose frowned and reminded: "Don't take it lightly, the 76ers are still very strong."

Before the two sides played against each other in the regular season, Qin Hao's performance impressed Rose deeply. The two also exchanged jerseys and became friends.

Rose has been paying attention to Qin Hao. Based on Qin Hao's performance for a while, he doesn't think the 76ers are really that easy to deal with.

What's more, the media broke the news before that Iguodala would return in the playoffs.

"Ah."

"Don't worry, we won't take it lightly."

A group of players said one after another.

Now Rose is the undisputed leader of the Bulls, and other players are convinced, because the Bulls are not like other teams. Except for Rose, the other players of the Bulls are not top-notch.

Except for Rose, none of them are All-Stars.

The 76ers locker room.

The players are sorting out their equipment, even Iguodala, Lu Wei, Speights, Thaddeus Young and other players who have played in the playoffs are somewhat nervous.

Not to mention Mozkov, Brand, Holiday and others.

Qin Hao was actually a little nervous. This was his first playoff game. Although he had heard many times that the playoffs were different from the regular season, he didn't know why.What's more, this time he was challenging for No. [-] in the East. Even if Qin Hao was a human being, he still couldn't be calm.

"Take it easy." Iverson was beside Qin Hao. He patted Qin Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Compared with the regular season, the playoffs are actually more intense and the players are more focused. You strength, don’t need to worry too much.”

"En." Qin Hao nodded heavily.

At this time, Coach Luke walked in.

Everyone stood up in unison.

"Everyone." Coach Luke said: "For some players, this is the first time you play in the playoffs, but there is no need to be too nervous. How you played before is how you are still playing now. I know that the opponent is No. [-] in the Eastern Conference. One, you will definitely be under pressure. But pressure is also a kind of motivation. Does the number one in the Eastern Conference scare you? If so, just admit defeat and forget it.”

"Scared, how is it possible?"

"We're not cowards."

Everyone opened their mouths and shouted unconvinced.

Coach Luke nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Don't think so much, try your best, play as you want, and it's over." After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands, "Let's go, it's time for us to play."

A group of people walked out of the locker room, and the huge noise came from outside, getting louder and louder.

When they walked out of the player tunnel, the din turned into boos, and the huge sound wave hit his face, which made Mozkov shudder.

This lineup is much bigger than the regular season.

Qin Hao was also taken aback, and couldn't help feeling that "the playoffs are really different from the regular season", and the fans in the auditorium were much crazier than the regular season.

The boos were loud and terrifying.

After a long while, the boos gradually weakened.

At this time, the Bulls players began to appear on the field, one by one, the audience cheered like thunder, especially when Rose appeared, the cheers seemed to break through the dome.

Rose raised his hand, waved it toward the audience, and put it on his chest.

"mvp, mvp"

The game has not yet started, and the fans in the auditorium have begun to shout "mvp". Rose's performance this season is also worthy of the title of "mvp".

This season, Rose led the team with a single core, without an All-Star player by his side, but brought the Bulls from eighth in the East last season to No. [-] in the East today.

Needless to say, the regular season mvp is almost certain.

When the cheers gradually weakened, the players began to warm up on the field. There was no tension at all, but under the calm, there were turbulent waves surging, and the fiery fighting spirit collided in the void.

A string of invisible sparks sputtered quietly.

After the warm-up is over, the players from both sides return to the sidelines.

Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau spread out the tactical board and made pre-match arrangements: "First of all, we must do a good job of defending, especially the defense against Qin. Although he is only a rookie, in the last two During the month, he averaged 26.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game. Being able to play such data and lead the 76ers to the playoffs should not be underestimated."

"Also, Qin is the engine of the 76ers. As long as we can prevent him, we can limit the 76ers' offense very well."

"As for Iguodala. Although he has returned from injury, he has not played for more than a month, so he may not be able to find the game state." Coach Thibodeau said: "So it is enough to defend Iguodala alone, and once Qin gets the ball, We have to go up and help defend as soon as possible.”

Coach Thibodeau also attaches great importance to Qin Hao.

Even if it will be Ross who will face Qin Hao, he still emphasizes that he must help defend immediately.

As for other positions, coach Thibodeau is not worried. Whether it is center, power forward, or small forward, the Bulls have the upper hand in terms of staffing.
