Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 895 Continuous Suppression
When the second quarter ended, the score was fixed at 60:54, neither side scored in the last 30 seconds, and the 76ers ended the first half with a 6-point lead.

Xiaoka walked off the court and was greeted by his teammates.

Coach Luke also smiled, patted Kaka on the arm, and praised: "You defend well."

Xiaoka started scratching his head again.
At the same time, the Trail Blazers fans in the auditorium looked at Kaka with unkind eyes.

"Where did this guy come from? He can do bad things. If he hadn't intercepted the ball, he might have caught up with the score by now."

"It seems to be a rookie this year. Anyway, the draft pick is not very high, and he looks sluggish. I guess the steal just now is luck."

"Well, it must be so."

"It's a pity, the point difference has been caught up to only 1 point left, and it turned into 6 points now."

Although he was very upset with Xiaoka, no one paid much attention to him. After all, Xiaoka only played for 1 minute in this quarter, and there was nothing outstanding except for the steal.

Some fans don't even know such a No. [-] person at all, and they will only pay attention to a few draft picks when they pay attention to the draft, such as Irving and the like.

Except for the fans of the 76ers, other people are not that interested in Xiaoka, who is an unexpected lottery rookie, and will not pay attention.

The second half begins quickly.

Both sides deployed their main lineups, and the Trail Blazers were very aggressive as soon as they came up, as if they were bound to catch up with the score and overtake it.

It's just that Aldridge's hand feeling has declined at this time, and he failed to hit the first shot in the second half. With his hand feeling declining, the deterrence weakened, and the entire offense of the Trail Blazers was affected.

At the same time, the 76ers seized this opportunity and began to expand the score.

"Pick and roll."

Qin Hao asked for a pick-and-roll, then broke through and rushed to the inside, and was about to bump into Aldridge, he suddenly used a Eurostep, Aldridge was startled, had already been passed by Qin Hao, subconsciously turned around and thought He tried to chase the counterfeiter, but ended up hitting Qin Hao.

beep!
The whistle blew, the referee pointed at Aldridge and gave him a foul.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have hit harder." Aldridge smiled wryly. He failed to defend the ball and even paid for a foul, so he had to watch Qin Hao go to the free throw line.

Swish!
Qin Hao made an extra penalty and the point difference further widened.

With this 2+1 score, the point difference between the two sides has become 10 points. The head coach of the Trail Blazers couldn't hold back anymore, and called a timeout with a black face.

A few players came to the sidelines, their faces were not good-looking, and they did not dare to look at the head coach. The coach asked them to catch up with the score and overtake the score, but the result was that the point difference was even bigger.

"DeMarcus." The head coach of the Trail Blazers looked at Aldridge and felt that he still had to start from this point, "You are the star of the team. In this situation, you must stand up. Play hard , Show your strength, just like in the second quarter."

"Well, I will definitely do my best." Aldridge nodded heavily.

As for the tactics, the head coach of the Trail Blazers did not change, just played as in the second quarter, and the few minutes in the second quarter were still good, and the effect was remarkable.

As long as Aldridge can keep playing well.

The 76ers here.

Qin Hao stood beside Coach Luke and whispered, "Let Leonard come on later, and let him continue to help defend Aldridge."

"Huh?" Coach Luke frowned, and then agreed, "Okay, let him help defend Aldridge later. Now we are leading by [-] points, and the only problem is Aldridge. As long as you guard Aldridge well, It is not so easy for the opponent to catch up."

This was also Qin Hao's idea, and the two coincided with each other.

After a moment, the pause ends.

Xiaoka got the last time again, and the eyes of Briggins and Lavoy were red.

Lavoy touched Briggins and whispered, "Did you see that? Just now Qin and the coach were whispering something, and then Leonard was sent in again."

"It's up to you to say, I can't see it." Briggins said helplessly, "Who made Qin like him? What can I do?"

Lavoy rolled his eyes, thinking that he couldn't do it, he still had to think of a way.

on the field.

The game continued and players from both sides returned to the field.

The Trail Blazers attacked, and Felton advanced with the ball. When he came to the frontcourt, he looked for an opportunity to pass the ball to Aldridge, allowing Aldridge to play singles.

Aldridge took a deep breath, and was about to play singles when he suddenly saw Leonard standing not far away, looking at him with a blank expression, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Hmph, the previous steal was just luck." Aldridge snorted coldly and made a feint. Seeing that Nene wasn't fooled, he half-turned and switched to back-up singles.

After taking two steps back, suddenly a figure flashed, and a hand suddenly stretched out. Aldridge's heart skipped a beat, and he hugged the basketball quickly, looking at it in surprise.

"It's you again." Aldridge looked at Xiaoka, very upset.

The ball had been stopped at this time, and Aldridge could only pass the ball to the outside for a circle, and then took the ball again, but soon Leonard's defense came again.

It's just haunting.

Aldridge was annoyed, so he forcibly shot, but Nene was not a fool, so he jumped up quickly and stretched his arms, covering Aldridge's sight.

boom!
The goal was missed.

"Damn it." Aldridge cursed angrily.

However, the head coach of the Trail Blazers on the sidelines was staring at Xiaoka, a little surprised. The time in the second quarter was too short before, and he hadn't noticed it yet.

He could see it in this defense. Xiaoka's defense was excellent, and the timing was very good. It happened to be when Aldridge was laying the groundwork and was about to make a shot.

It is precisely because of the accurate timing that he was able to find a balance between assisting Aldridge in defense and Wallace defending the perimeter, so that he would not miss Wallace because of assisting Aldridge in defense.

The next few rounds further verified his judgment. Leonard defended well. Although he didn't have another chance to steal, it made Aldridge play very hard.

In this case, Aldridge's offensive efficiency was naturally not high, which also affected the entire team. Until 8 minutes into the third quarter, the Trail Blazers were still 11 points behind.

"How can the 76ers be so lucky?" The head coach of the Trail Blazers looked at Leonard, feeling a little sore, and called a timeout again, and began to change players.

It seems that there is no chance to catch up with the score in this quarter, so I have to put my hope in the fourth quarter.

Qin Hao grabbed Xiaoka's shoulders and praised him without hesitation. Although Xiaoka made no contribution on the offensive end in this quarter, he only scored 2 points. Including the first half, he only scored 6 points in total so far, plus 4 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 assist, the data is very inconspicuous, but there are many things that the data cannot reflect.
