Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 885 The end of the preseason

A day later, the 76ers headed to Utah for an away game against the Jazz.

This is the second game of the 76ers preseason, and its purpose is still training troops, rehearsing tactics, cultivating tacit understanding, and training players.
Qin Hao didn't play much time in this game either. For him, the preseason game is actually of little significance, but for rookies and fringe players, the preseason game is still very important.

In the last match against the Wizards, although Kaka's statistics were mediocre, his performance was obvious to all, so Coach Luke gave him more opportunities in this game and played a full 32 minutes.

This made both Lavoy and Briggins eyes red.

Although this is a preseason game, it is very meaningful for a rookie player to play for such a long time.

You must know that more playing time not only means that the coach values ​​you more, but also means that you will have more opportunities to show your abilities and play better statistics.

And these will affect your position in the team, and whether you can get enough playing time and opportunities after the regular season.

For rookies and fringe players, opportunity is the most important thing!
However, Xiaoka looked very calm. Well, his sluggish expression has not changed for thousands of years, and he can't tell whether he is calm or not. In short, he played well. He scored 13 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 Steals, 1 block, even better than the previous game.

It is worth mentioning that Kaka showed his defensive ability and talent again. Alec Burks, the 12th pick in the first round of the opposite Jazz this year, only got poor 5 points, plus 3 rebounds, 1 assist, both of them are rookies, and Burks' draft pick is higher than that of Kaka, but the matchup between the two is a judgment call.

Naturally, this annoys Burks and frustrates the Jazz.

In last year's draft, they chose Gordon Hayward, who was also tepid. He averaged only 5.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game in his rookie season. He was the ninth pick in the first round anyway. Compared with Qin Hao Why is the gap so big?
Well, there is a gap in draft picks, and that's fine.

Alec Burks was selected with the 12th overall pick in the first round this year, but now it seems that it is not as good as Kawhi Leonard, who was selected by the 76ers with the 16th overall pick. How can the 76ers be so lucky?

In fact, Hayward's progress is obvious to all. Compared with last season, he has improved a lot. In this game, he scored 18 points, plus 4 rebounds and 3 assists, which is not bad.

But compared with Qin Hao
Qin Hao scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 8 assists. However, he only played 18 points and scored 18+16+4 in 8 minutes. How efficient is this?
There was not much suspense in this game. The 76ers defeated the Jazz 112:101 and won another victory.

Subsequently, the 76ers returned to the home court and ushered in the last game of the preseason after a day off. The opponent was still the Wizards.

Wall played well at the beginning of the previous game, but his mentality was a bit wrong, and it even directly led to the team's point difference being widened and finally lost.

This time Wall was much calmer.

What made Wall feel depressed was that Qin Hao still had no intention of confronting him. Last time, he sent Xiaoka to guard against him.This time it was even more excessive. From the beginning of the first quarter, the small card was replaced within 2 minutes, and the small card was used to defend him almost the whole game.

What made Wall even more depressed was that when they played against each other again, he found that the defensive pressure brought by Xiaoka was two points greater than last time.

A rookie who didn't even make it to the lottery, how could he have this ability?
This annoyed Wall.

However, Qin Hao couldn't help showing a "big brother" gratified smile. The previous Xiaoka might not be so good in his rookie season, but now that he meets him, it may not be so.

Fortunately, Wall, who is not impulsive, is still very strong. Even if Kaka defends seriously all the time, it is still difficult to stop Wall from scoring.

Qin Hao still didn't play much time in this game, and he didn't play in the last quarter at all, and the Wizards took advantage of Wall's outstanding performance in the fourth quarter.

Seeing that the team took the lead and that Wall performed very well, he did not lose his composure because of the battle with Qin Hao. The head coach of the Wizards is still very satisfied.

At least he is satisfied with Wall.

"Although it's a pity that Qin was not selected with the first overall pick last year, Wall is not too bad, and he is worthy of the first overall pick." The head coach of the Wizards glanced at Wall and Qin Hao, and he still had some regrets in his heart. Yes, but I can only comfort myself.

But after seeing power forward Young Wesley, who they selected with the sixth overall pick in the first round this year, the Wizards coach became depressed again.

This feeling is the same as the Jazz.

If Wall was chosen last year and Qin Hao was not chosen, because Wall performed well enough, he can still comfort himself.Then Young Wesley, who was selected by the Wizards this year, really can't satisfy them. In the three preseason games, he behaved like a transparent person, not even as good as Kawhi, who was selected by the 76ers with the 16th overall pick in the first round. Leonard.

Of course, there is no way to be depressed.

Who made them not hang on the wall, oh no, who made them not have that luck?

At the end of a game, in the end it was the Wizards who defeated the 110ers 102:76 in the away game with Wall's outstanding performance.

It's just that the Wizards, including Wall, who scored 23 points, plus 3 rebounds and 9 assists today, don't think there is anything to be happy about. On the contrary, it feels like winning is like losing.

Because the 76ers didn't make any effort at all today, Qin Hao only played for 17 minutes, and didn't even play in the last quarter. Nene, Iverson, Iguodala, and Lu Wei didn't play for long. It was three rookies, and Mozkov, Thaddeus Young, Speights, etc. were on the court.

Xiaoka played 30 minutes, scored 12 points, plus 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 assist. His main energy was on defending Wall.

The 76ers had the highest score with Speights, who scored 21 points. In three preseason games, Speights averaged 20+ per game.

But after all, it's just the preseason.

The team's other two rookies, Briggins and Lavoy, didn't play as much as Kaka, but both played more than 10 minutes.

It just seems that seeing Xiaoka getting more and more attention, his mentality is a little impatient, and he is eager to express himself on the court. The statistics are not bad. The three preseason games averaged more than [-] points per game, but his efficiency is worse than Xiaoka. Far.

What's more, the two were only focused on scoring points, and they did a poor job of defending. They were even severely reprimanded by Coach Luke for this.

At this point, the preseason is over.

The 76ers have 2 wins and 1 loss, which is quite satisfactory.

But the preseason is nothing, because the regular season is about to start.
