Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 943 The game that must be won

After the four-game losing streak, the team atmosphere of the 76ers is a bit depressed.

In the training arena, the players are training, but they are a little absent-minded. Lavoy did not show up because he was "injured" and was put on the injured list. He is recuperating at home.

The result of this treatment was not unexpected, and the players didn't care too much. The loss of a drinking fountain watchman had little impact on the team, but Brand still did not return.

Brand is the team's starting small forward, and his absence still has a great impact on the team.

"coach."

When Coach Luke arrived, he nodded at the players, his face was not very good-looking, he waved his hand to summon everyone, and grouped against each other for training.

After the training was over, he called the players together again, with a serious expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "We have lost four games in a row."

The crowd was silent.

Yes, a four-game losing streak.

This season started with a five-game winning streak, and has been advancing all the way since then. Before that, they lost two games in a row at most, and it was unacceptable to lose three games in a row, let alone a four-game losing streak.

Coach Luke raised his voice: "So in the next game, we must win, and we must never lose again."

"Ah."

"No more losses."

"If we lose any more, we will be transferred to the fourth place in the Eastern Conference."

Everyone said.

Qin Hao didn't speak, his eyes were firm, and he clenched his fists. The next game was against the Magic, and it was an away game, but no matter what he was facing, he had to fight.

Before, they were only two games away from the Knicks. After losing to the Hawks in the last game, the two sides were only one game away. If the 76ers lose again and the Knicks win, then it really depends. Lost the third place in the Eastern Conference and was squeezed to fourth.

What is more serious is the blow to the morale of the team.

They were able to play so well before, largely due to the five-game winning streak at the beginning of the regular season, which made the team's morale strong and their fighting spirit high.

If they lose one more game and go on a five-game losing streak, the morale of the team will be slumped. If they want to get back together, they may have to win another five games in a row.

Then Coach Luke carefully analyzed the situation of the Magic this season.

This season, the Magic's record ranks sixth in the Eastern Conference. It's not particularly good, but it's definitely not bad. The team's head star Howard has averaged 21+15 per game. Jameer Nelson, JJ Redick, etc. all played well.

Although the record ranking of the Magic team is not as good as that of the 76ers, no matter the lineup or strength, they must not be underestimated.

What's more, the 76ers are in a bad situation at this time. Brand did not come to practice today, and it is very likely that tomorrow's game will still be "true due to illness."

So when Coach Luke finished speaking and ordered everyone to disband, the players were all worried.

Qin Hao shook his head, came to Coach Luke, and asked, "Coach, what's going on with Brand, the rumor has passed, and he hasn't come back yet?"

"Hmph." Coach Luke snorted coldly. He was very upset with Brand. After all, he is also the head coach of the team. Isn't this a shame for himself?

The two talked before and broke up unhappy.

Coach Luke dealt with Lavoy yesterday, and Brand must have gotten news from his teammates, but he still didn't come back for training today, as if he was waiting for Coach Luke to take the initiative to find him.

Coach Luke also has a temper, do you want to wait for me to beg you to come back?I don't, I still don't believe that you can't win without it.

Regarding this, Qin Hao could only smile helplessly.

The current situation is indeed not very good, but he also thinks that Coach Luke's approach is correct. Some problems just cannot be used, and the more you get used to it, the worse it will be.

"Even without Brand, the next game must be won." Qin Hao took a deep breath, greeted Xiaoka, and stayed for more practice.

The players have all left.

Qin Hao and Xiaoka have almost rested.

"Let's get started." Qin Hao shouted, suddenly remembered something, he was busy these days, and forgot about hiring a trainer, "Call me later and ask."

The two started training.

An hour later, the two stopped, gasping for breath.

Xiaoka looked at Qin Hao and asked, "Qin, why do you feel that you are practicing harder than usual today? You seem to be in a hurry."

Qin Hao thought, can I not be in a hurry? This is a shortened season, and it will be February soon. Once the All-Star weekend is over, there will be only one-third of the season left. If the strength cannot change again before the playoffs, wait until the season. Whether it is against the Heat or the Bulls, the Knicks, or the Celtics in the playoffs, I have no idea.

But there is no need to tell Xiaoka about this, Qin Hao just smiled, and rested for another ten minutes, he stood up: "Come again."

Another half hour.

At this moment, Kaka was already exhausted, and he was sweating profusely with his knees propped up, and his heart was filled with emotion, how could Qin Hao's physical fitness be so good?

Qin Hao adjusted his breathing, glanced at the basket, and decided to come here today. Although his heart was urgent, his physical fitness was good and he recovered quickly, but Xiaoka couldn't do it.

"Okay, that's all for today." Qin Hao said, "Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow is the game against the Magic. Play hard."

"I understand." Xiaoka nodded. Tomorrow's game must be won, and he also understood.

When he got home, Qin Hao called Yao Ming and asked him to recommend two trainers, Yao Ming readily agreed.

In the afternoon, the 76ers will finally board the plane and head to Orlando.

Brand didn't come.

On the evening of the second day, a game will start at the Amway Center Arena, home of the Magic. The auditorium is full of people, tens of thousands of fans.

"Should we win today?"

"Don't worry, the 76ers have suffered a four-game losing streak. This is the lowest point. And I heard that the 76ers' small forward Brand did not come. It seems to be sick. The 76ers have lost a starting small forward. It's at a low point again, playing away games, today our Magic team will definitely win."

"Well, I don't know how many points and rebounds Howard can score today. The 76ers only have Nene inside, and he is not Howard's opponent."

"I think at least get a 30+10"

The game has not yet started, and the fans have already discussed it. They are full of confidence in the Magic and Howard, who has performed extremely well this season.

It didn't take long for players from both sides to play one after another.

After some warm-up, each returned to the sidelines.

Coach Luke looked at his players and said, "Iguodala, today you start at position 3." Then he looked at the others, "Nene, today your task is relatively heavy, try to get Howard out as much as possible." Push. In addition, seeing Howard's low singles, others should go up in time to help defend."

"Yes."

"clear."

Everyone complied.

In the end, Coach Luke emphasized again: "We must win today's game, don't treat it as a regular season for me, and go all out."
