Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 791 Lack of fighting spirit and still behind!
After some warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the sidelines.

Seeing the listlessness and lack of fighting spirit of his players, Coach Luke frowned, but he could only smile wryly. Just a few words are useless, he tried.

He even scolded, hoping to stimulate the players' fighting spirit with the aggressive method, but it still failed.

No matter what the method is, it must be based on reality after all. If the gap between the two sides is not large, encouragement or provocative methods can have good results.

But when the gap between the two sides is too large, these will not work.

"Okay, let's go." Coach Luke made a simple arrangement and signaled the players to go on the field.

The playoffs are a series mode. In this mode, the two sides have to play at least 4 games. There is enough time to understand each other, analyze the opponent's tactics, and then make corresponding responses.

So when it comes to the playoffs, tactics may influence the game in one or two games, but in most cases, after a few games, we have already understood each other enough, and we have used all the tactics that should be used and the tactics that can be used.

There are no more secrets, and the game can only rely on hard power.

This also guarantees the gold content of the playoffs to a certain extent. It will not happen that a team wins the series because of good luck, or a good performance in a certain game, or a surprise victory in tactics.

So after three games, Coach Luke used everything he could. The gap between the two sides is the gap in strength, and he was helpless.

"beep"

The game officially begins.

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

The Bulls are still their regular season starters, Noah, Boozer, Luol Deng, Bogans, Rose.

The first is the jump ball, the Bulls get the ball, Rose holds the ball and advances to the frontcourt and sees Qin Hao coming forward, the eyes of the two meet, Rose can't help raising his eyebrows, a little surprised: "So many players on the 76ers have lost their fighting spirit , I didn’t expect you to give up yet.”

This made Ross's impression of Qin Hao even better.

But at this time, they are on the field, and they are opponents, so he doesn't know how to release water.

Ross nodded at Qin Hao, then asked for a pick-and-roll, broke through after getting rid of Qin Hao, Nene stayed inside, and quickly made up the defense.But for the 76ers, apart from Qin Hao, Iverson, and Nene, Speights and Brand have low fighting spirit, and their defense is naturally not very good.

Whoosh!
Rose split the ball and passed it to Luol Deng. Luol Deng glanced at Brand, seeing that Brand didn't jump up immediately, he chuckled and shot a jumper.

Swish!
The goal was scored, and the Bulls took the lead.

Brand didn't defend the ball properly and was not active. Qin Hao frowned. Coach Luke on the sidelines was also a little upset.

In fact, since entering the playoffs, Brand's performance has not been very good. It is completely different from his performance in the regular season, not at the same level.

In the regular season, Brand played very well, averaging 16 points per game.

But in the playoffs, after three playoff games, Brand averaged only 9.4 points per game, which is less than 10 points. The data has directly shrunk by half, not to mention other aspects.

Such as defense.

Luol Deng, who played against Brand, scored an average of 21.4 points in the three games. Although Luol Deng's strength is outstanding, Brand can hardly absolve himself of the blame for scoring so many points.

Afterwards, Qin Hao made a breakthrough and forced a kill inside, which caused a foul by Boozer. Although he failed to score the goal, Qin Hao went to the free throw line and made two free throws, also scoring two points.

It's just that Qin Hao didn't feel happy, instead he frowned.

"It seems that the Bulls really want to lock Qin up, and would rather not let him score a foul."

"Yes. After three games, only Qin played the best. The Bulls are not stupid. They will definitely target Qin. They know that as long as Qin is restrained, the 76ers will be finished."

In the auditorium, the fans were discussing.

The fans of the 76ers are worried. Even they can see the Bulls' intentions, but the 76ers have nothing to do. They can't defend defensively, and no one can stand up offensively.

Swish!
With a soft bang, Luol Deng scored again.

Brand's defense was still not in place. He only played 4 minutes in the first quarter, and he had already allowed Luol Deng to score 6 points, which became a loophole.

"Substitution." Coach Luke asked for a substitution with a black face, replacing Brand with Thaddeus Young.

Previously, Coach Luke thought that Brand was playing in the playoffs for the first time, so he was unavoidably nervous and needed time to get used to it.But as a result, after one game, two games, and three games, Brand not only failed to adapt to the playoffs and regained his state, on the contrary, he played worse and worse.

It really shouldn't be.

Now even the defense is not active.

Since you are not active and focused, you don't need to fight.

"Anyway, the big deal is losing." Coach Luke is also very straightforward. Anyway, in the current situation, there is not much difference between you and Brand, so I am not used to you.

Brand was replaced and sat on the bench in a muffled voice, his eyes were a little empty. It wasn't that he didn't want to play well, but for some reason, he felt very uncomfortable playing in the playoffs.

Some players do have this situation. They played well in the regular season and their statistics are very good, but they can't do it in the playoffs.

on the field.

The game continues.
The Bulls are still double-teaming Qin Hao, restricting Qin Hao crazily, even if they give other players of the 76ers some opportunities, they don't care.

For the 76ers, this should be a point that can be used, but the reality is that Qin Hao is restricted. Without his scoring drive and his organization and coordination, other players have also misfired.

Unknowingly, halfway through the first quarter, the 76ers trailed by 8 points.

Seeing this situation, many fans couldn't help but sigh.

This seems to be a replica of the previous three games. The 76ers have always been at a disadvantage. It seems that the 8-point difference is not an exaggeration, after all, this is only the first quarter.However, when there is a large gap in strength between the two sides, for the weaker side, the hole will only get bigger and bigger, and it will not be able to fill it in the end.

"beep"

Coach Luke called a timeout and said, "Qin, you come down to rest and put on a change."

"Coach." Qin Hao said quickly, his eyes determined, "I want to continue playing."

The teammates all looked at Qin Hao. Coach Luke frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, you continue to play. Speights, Iverson, you two come down and rest. Mozkov, Lu Wei , Come on, pay attention to protect the rebound, Lu Wei, you should attack more and play more proactively."

After some arrangement, the game continued.

Qin Hao walked onto the court, looked at the opposite basket, took a deep breath, clenched and released his fists, and whispered to himself: "I can only gamble."
