Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 784 Adjust the lineup to counter the wave!
Halftime, 76ers locker room.

A group of players did not speak, and the atmosphere was a bit depressed.

Originally, they were only 7 points behind in the first quarter, but no one expected that in the second quarter, the Bulls' defense was further strengthened, and the game became more intense. The 76ers were completely at a disadvantage, and even Qin Hao lost his role. It got colder and hit the iron again and again, and at the end of halftime, they fell behind by as much as 15 points.

"Is this the true strength of No. [-] in the Eastern Conference?"

"Sure enough, the regular season and the playoffs are different."

"Damn, if I could play better, maybe we wouldn't be so far behind. It's only my right hand that's hurt, why did I become like this?"

At this moment, the players are suffering in their hearts, some are confused, some are depressed, and some blame themselves.
Coach Luke was standing next to him. After waiting for a while, he clapped his hands. When the players all looked at him, he said in a deep voice, "Being behind by 15 points at halftime, I know you will be very depressed, and I am also very depressed. But The game is not over, we have to pick ourselves up."

"Yes." Qin Hao got up, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists, "The game is not over yet, there are still two full quarters left. I'm sorry, I didn't play well in the second quarter, and my shooting percentage was too low. "

Hearing Qin Hao scolding himself, the players quit.

Nene hurriedly said: "Qin, I can't blame you for this. The opponent focuses on defending you. As soon as they see you holding the ball, they help defend. Your chances of making shots are not good. It's because we didn't play well. The opponent defended you. We originally There were a lot of chances, but we didn't make the shots we should have made."

"It's all my fault, I didn't defend well."

"My three-pointer should have been made, the open three-pointer, blame me."

"It's because I didn't play well."

Everyone said one after another, scrambling to admit their mistakes.

Seeing this situation, Coach Luke was secretly relieved, and raised his voice: "What's the use of blaming yourself? What you have to do is to play well in the second half. Since you all feel that you didn't do well enough in the first half, then play me in the second half." Better. Answer me now, will you?"

Everyone was shocked and shouted in unison: "OK!"

Coach Luke smiled: "Okay, get ready, it's time for us to fight back!"

in the audience.

The fans got together in threes and fives, laughing and talking.

"Am I right? Beating the 76ers is nothing more than a simple matter. The Bulls led by more than ten points at halftime. Is there still suspense in the game?"

"The ending has long been doomed, after all, the strength gap between the two sides is too great."

"It is estimated that after three quarters, it will become garbage time."

Amidst the discussions, the third quarter began.

On the 76ers side, Coach Luke began to order: "Nene, Speights, Brand, Iverson, Qin, you guys go."

No Iguodala.

In the first half, Iguodala was the starting shooting guard, but the effect was not good. Iguodala played very poorly and hardly played a role.

So in the second half, Coach Luke simply pulled Iguodah off and put Iverson back on. Over the past month or so, Iverson and Qin Hao have worked very well together.

"Okay, let's go." Coach Luke didn't say much.

The two sides returned to the field.

As soon as Rose came up, he noticed that the morale of the 76ers had not become low. On the contrary, he felt a chill from the 76ers players.

"It seems that the 76ers are not going to admit defeat easily." Rose said to himself, and after coming to the frontcourt, he asked for a pick-and-roll, and then it was a single.

Since the 76ers don't give up easily, let him beat the 76ers until they surrender.

I saw Rose catch the pick-and-roll to get rid of Qin Hao, and then rushed to the basket, but this time he did not choose to make a layup, but used a throw.

Swish!
The goal was scored, and the point difference became 17 points.

The 76ers counterattacked, Qin Hao pushed the ball to the frontcourt, and Rose rushed up just after the halfway line. The Bulls' defense was still fierce and tight, giving people a sense of oppression.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Hao split the ball and passed it to Iverson.

This made Rose a little surprised. Why did he score the ball as soon as he arrived in the frontcourt? Is he a point guard or Iverson a point guard?
The answer is, both!

Although Iverson's habitual position is shooting guard, it doesn't mean he can't organize or pass the ball. In college, he was actually a point guard, even when he first entered the 76ers.It was only later that the team needed someone to stand up and score, and he needed to focus on scoring, so he changed to play point guard.

"go!"

Iverson dribbled with one hand, waved the other, and shouted at his teammates.

All of a sudden, several players moved quickly, and Qin Hao also moved. He made a quick reverse run, circled the inside lane, threw away Rose, and came to the right side of the three-point line. Iverson immediately passed the ball To Qin Hao.

However, the Bulls had been prepared for a long time. Luol Deng immediately rushed to take Rose's place, blocking in front of Qin Hao, and not giving Qin Hao a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

"Heh." Qin Hao chuckled, and didn't shoot a three-pointer, but a ground pass.

Luol Deng was taken aback, turned his head and saw Iverson making an air cut, while Bogans, who was defending against Iverson, was blocked by Brand, and saw Qin Hao's pass and a layup.

Swish!
The goal was scored, and the score was 15 points.

Tens of seconds later, Iverson made a breakthrough, hit the basket, attracted the defense, and then scored the ball. It was passed beyond the three-point line. Qin Hao took the ball and swayed it, took a step forward, and raised his hand to make a jump shot.

Also enter.

When Iverson scored, the Bulls didn't dare to let him go. At this time, Iverson's breakthrough could attract the defense and give Qin Hao a one-on-one chance.

In one-on-one situations, it is difficult for the Bulls to guard against Qin Hao.

Iguodala's state was too bad before. Except for hitting the iron or hitting the iron, the Bulls didn't care much when they saw him holding the ball. Iguodala couldn't attract the defense, and couldn't create opportunities for Qin Hao.

"The combination of Iverson and Qin is better." Assistant coach Harry said.

"Hmm." Coach Luke replied noncommittally.

Iverson made it very clear that he is a support, mainly to attract defense for Qin Hao, share the pressure, and send out assists. He does not shoot blindly or attack rashly, but the effect is better.

But Iguodala is still the same as before, playing as the core player of the team. If he is in good condition, that's okay.

But in his current state, it won't work like this.

After a period of time, Iverson played very well and shared the defensive pressure for Qin Hao. The defensive pressure Qin Hao faced became less and his efficiency improved.

For a while, the 76ers had the upper hand, quickly chasing points, and the point difference between the two sides changed from 17 points to 15 points, then to 13 points, to 10 points.
After a few minutes, under the leadership of Qin Hao and Iverson, the 76ers set off a wave of counterattacks, narrowing the point difference to only 8 points.
