Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 910

After the game against the Warriors, the 76ers finally had a chance to breathe. After two days of rest, they rushed to the next away game to challenge the Hornets.

For the 76ers, the pressure of this game is not much.

If it is the former Hornets, you may still need to worry. After all, the opponent has superstar Chris Paul, and the strength is still very strong, and the team has experienced consecutive away games.However, the Hornets now lack Paul and David West, and have entered the rebuilding stage. They hold a lot of young players and draft picks, but their strength is much weaker than before.

This is the last game of the 76ers' continuous road trip. The players all hope to resolve the battle early so that they can return home, so the 76ers played very aggressively from the very beginning.

Seeing how fierce everyone was, Qin Hao felt relieved, and simply took a moment to be lazy, mainly passing the ball to his teammates and creating opportunities for them, and he didn't make many shots.

This makes the Hornets depressed.

Originally, they planned to focus their defense on Qin Hao, thinking that by limiting Qin Hao, they would be able to limit the 76ers.

As a result, Qin Hao didn't take many shots. On the contrary, the other players of the 76ers played extremely sharply. After only a few minutes of playing in the first quarter, the 76ers had already opened the point difference to double digits.

"Damn it. I miss Paul."

"Me too."

In the auditorium, the Hornets fans were very depressed. The point difference became double digits in just a few minutes. What's the point of playing like this?

In fact, it is true. After three quarters, the score difference reached 17 points. The game has lost its suspense. The last quarter was reduced to garbage time. Coach Luke directly replaced Qin Hao, Nene, Iverson and other main players. , replaced by a substitute lineup.

The last quarter was uneventful, the Hornets narrowed the score a bit, but there was no substantial change, and finally the whole game ended with a score of 120:105, and the 76ers won.

Qin Hao didn't take many shots. He made 8 of 5 shots, including two three-pointers and two free throws. He scored 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 13 assists.

At the end of this game, the players all relaxed, and they won all 5 away games. With a record of 5 consecutive victories, they can finally go home.

Detroit.

A game is going on, Pistons vs. Eagles.

The Pistons had played five games before this game, and the result was 1 win and 4 losses, which disappointed many Pistons fans.

At this time, the game has entered the third quarter, and the Pistons are 8 points behind. The situation is very unfavorable to them. If they lose this game, their record will become even worse.

"Ball." Stucky ran back to ask for the ball, and then directly made a three-point shot. As a result, with a "bang", the basketball bounced off the hoop and missed.

Stuckey cursed secretly, seeing Horford of the Eagles got the rebound, he could only run to his own half unwillingly and began to retreat.

Several Pistons players on the field were Villanueva, Jerebko, Prince, Stuckey, and Ben Gordon. Butler sat on the bench and kept checking the time.

Butler is still a substitute this season.

Although Butler's strength has improved a lot in the past six months, he has performed outstandingly in the team's confrontation more than once, even with a group of substitute players and Prince, Stuckey, Gordon The team composed of several starting players played evenly and did not fall behind.

On the defensive end, he even acted as a vanguard, defending against Prince, Stuckey, and sometimes insiders like Villanueva, and he did a good job.

It's just... still a substitute.

This is obviously unreasonable, but the reason given by the coach is-the team needs you to play as a substitute, young man, congratulations, now you are the sixth man of the team, lead the substitute lineup well.

So Butler wasn't deployed at the beginning of the second half. He counted the time, halfway through the third quarter, and it was almost time for a substitution.

"Pick and roll."

On the court, Teague advanced the ball to the frontcourt and asked for a pick-and-roll.

At this time, the five players on the Eagles are Horford, Smith, Marvin Williams, Joe Johnson, and Teague, which is much stronger than the Eagles in terms of lineup.

After a pick-and-roll, Teague broke through, hit the basket, attracted the defense and then distributed the ball to the right, and gave it to Johnson. Johnson took the ball and it was a jumper.

Swish!
The goal was scored, and the point difference became 10 points.

The point difference had turned into double digits, and the head coach of the Pistons had to call a timeout. He glanced at the bench and shouted: "Jimmy, wait for you."

"Yes." Butler replied, his eyes shining.

Sitting off the field all the time, he couldn't wait.

Then the head coach of the Pistons rearranged his tactics and carried out a personnel rotation. In addition to replacing Butler, he also replaced guard Brandon Knight and forward Ben Wallace, of which Brandon- Wright is still a rookie this year, and was selected by the Pistons with the eighth pick in the first round.

The pause ends soon.

Players from both sides returned to the court, and the Eagles also changed players. They held a very leading advantage and were very calm. Several players looked at Butler and the others with contempt.

Pistons attack.

Wright advanced with the ball and asked for two pick-and-rolls after reaching the frontcourt. As soon as he was about to play himself, he saw Butler running back to ask for the ball. He passed the ball, then ran, and pulled people away.

Opposing Butler is Josh Smith, with his hands outstretched, standing a little inside the three-point line, his eyes on Butler's shoulder.

laugh!
With a soft sound, Butler started and broke through from the right side. Smith quickly moved laterally and got stuck first, while Butler immediately took a step back, his body paused, and his center of gravity rose. Smith thought he was going to shoot, and subconsciously raised his center of gravity. Standing on tiptoe trying to jump to block the shot.

However, at the next moment, Butler lowered his center of gravity, changed direction suddenly, and broke through from the left instead. With an acceleration, he rushed past Smith, quickly hugged the ball, and took three big steps to rush into the inside line.

Standing inside the Eagles is power forward Radmanovich, 208 cm tall. He bent over and bowed, and when he saw Butler rushing in, he jumped up quickly, with his hands raised high, ready to block Butler.

boom!
There was a muffled sound, and the two collided.

Radmanovich only felt a pain in his chest, and couldn't help screaming that something was wrong. A strong force hit him, and he was knocked into the air, and his raised arm became a decoration.Looking at Butler again, he was able to maintain his balance, stretch his body in the air, hold the basketball in his right hand, and throw it with one hand.

Swish!
With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

"nice shot."

"It's a tough shot, it's beautiful."

In the auditorium, the Pistons fans stood up excitedly and shouted excitedly, they needed such a goal too much.
