Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 959
The stadium is like a battlefield. In addition to the coach's strategizing and step by step, the players also need to take the lead. I am invincible. Qin Hao stood up and scored two goals in a row at this moment, showing his role as a star.

Coach Adelman frowned even tighter. These two balls disrupted the situation on the court and also destroyed his arrangement. However, he quickly calmed down and gestured towards the court to signal to the players. Don't panic, you can fight as you want, just point at Qin Hao, let them be careful of Qin Hao, and strengthen their defense against him.

Needless to say, Yao Ming is a golfer, he understands the situation on the court, so after he came to the frontcourt, he came to the low post and opened his hand in the left low post to ask for the ball. Qin Hao stepped forward, and he had to respond .

Lowry gave the ball to Yao Ming.

The others pulled away, and Yao Ming singled Nene.

Because of Coach Luke's order, Nene pushed Yao Ming to the outside with all his strength, so Yao Ming's position with the ball was a little far from the basket. Nene quickly stuck it up, and Qin Hao also moved closer to help defend.

Yao Ming dribbled the ball with one hand, his back was close to Nene, but his eyes scanned the situation on the field. He naturally saw Qin Hao, but he didn't pass the ball. There was a turning around with the ball, which caught Nene and Qin Hao by surprise.

Suddenly, Yao Ming bypassed Nene and Qin Hao, lifted the ball up and scored with a small toss.

The difference is 8 points.

"The steps are so beautiful." Qin Hao couldn't help admiring.

At this time, halfway through the third quarter, Qin Hao launched a counterattack and planned to play one by himself, but the opponent strengthened his defense. He didn't force it and passed it to his teammates. Unfortunately, the teammates failed to score.

Both sides failed to score in the next two rounds, so Coach Luke called a timeout and began to rotate, replacing the main players one after another.

Qin Hao turned his head and glanced at the score. Although the lead of 8 points was not above double digits, it was not bad.

Both sides began to change players, the main players were replaced one after another, and the substitute players were replaced. This time, Patterson and Parsons of the Rockets played well, but they were on par with the 76ers.

Brand finally got another chance to play. Although it was only a substitute time, he understood that this was his opportunity, so he played very actively, but the effect was not very good.

Maybe it was sitting too long off the court, feeling a little cold, or too eager to express myself, in short, after going up, he made 2 for 0 shots and hit the iron continuously.

This made Brand very depressed, but the more so, the worse his performance.

"Brand's strength is actually not weak, but he is too easily affected by his mentality." Qin Hao sighed secretly, "He played well in the regular season last season, but after the playoffs he was a little nervous, his mentality was unstable, and his performance was also affected. Mentality is also a very important reason why this season's performance is not as good as last season's regular season performance."

The arena is like a battlefield, and the NBA is even more so.

A player's foothold in the NBA, in addition to talent, basketball IQ, mentality, etc. are all influencing factors.

It's not that there are no players like Brand. On the contrary, there are quite a few players in the NBA. They are as fierce as tigers in the regular season and as timid as worms in the playoffs. In fact, the problem is that they are not firm enough in mind and easily influenced. In the atmosphere of the regular season, they can Get used to it, but it won't work in the playoffs.

Qin Hao turned his head and looked at Coach Luke, secretly guessing in his heart, is it because of this consideration that Coach Luke is consciously reducing Brand's playing time?

Their goal this season is to go further in the playoffs, so Brand's attribute of "pulling his hips as soon as he gets to the playoffs" is obviously a problem.

Is Coach Luke setting the stage for the playoffs?

Moments later, the third quarter ended with a six-point deficit, allowing the Rockets to shrink by two points.

Entering the fourth quarter, Brand sat on the bench again, but instead of waiting for the last few minutes, he had no chance to play. Who made him not perform well just now?

Mozkov, Thaddeus Young, Xiaoka, Lu Wei, Holiday, this lineup is not bad, especially Xiaoka, played very well today. In addition to the excellent defense as always, the offensive Duan also performed well, and he had already scored 15 points before the game was over.

This score is not high, but you must know that Xiaoka is just a rookie, and a rookie who is good at defense, and his average scoring is only eleven or twelve points per game.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, Kaka steals the ball and quickly grabs the ball to start a fast break. Before his teammates can catch up, he doesn't wait any longer. He takes the lead and rushes to the frontcourt. Standing up, Parsons was behind him, but he gave up the plan to chase after seeing Xiaoka's take-off height.

Bang!
With a bang, Kaka smashed the buckle with one hand.

After this dunk, Xiaoka's personal score came to 17 points, and it also helped the 76ers to open the point difference to double digits again, leading the Rockets by 11 points.

Coach Adelman's expression changed, and he called a timeout. He looked dignified. The 11-point difference was less than a quarter, and the situation was not good.

"Beautiful job." Qin Hao patted Xiaoka.

Xiaoka's expression was dull, but there was a bit of excitement in his eyes.

The two sides began to make substitutions, gradually replacing the main players, and entered the final decisive battle.

However, the 76ers hold an 11-point lead and don't need to worry. They can deal with it calmly. As long as they can block the opponent's counterattack, they will win.

"Pick and roll."

Lowry made a gesture, Yao Ming mentioned the line pick-and-roll, Martin waited for an opportunity on the other side, Lowry made a breakthrough, Martin made an air cut, and the 76ers' attention was focused on Martin.

But Lowry passed the ball back to Yao Ming on the three-point line. After Yao Ming received the ball, he made a three-point shot, and with a "swish", the ball scored.

The difference is 8 points.

After that, Martin also hit one and hit the inside. Although he failed to score, it caused a foul by Speights and went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

The point difference was further narrowed for a while, and the 76ers players all looked at Qin Hao. Qin Hao nodded calmly, pushed the ball into the frontcourt, and gestured to his teammates. Speights came up to pick and roll, Nene stood at the low position on the left side, Qin Hao suddenly accelerated his breakthrough, took two steps forward and passed the ball to Nene, Yao Ming subconsciously took a step back, but Qin Hao did not pass the ball, but took the ball back, following the trend pick basket.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

In the next few minutes, Yao Ming and Martin led the Rockets to launch a counterattack.

In addition to making a three-pointer, Yao Ming also scored a low hook. After Martin made two free throws, he broke through and scored the ball, which was hit by Scola.

However, Qin Hao stood up for the 76ers and scored goals together with Iguodala and Nene.

First, Qin Hao scored a layup, and then Iguodala, who assisted in an air cut, dunked. He passed the ball without looking at others during the counterattack, and passed it to Nene who followed up, and assisted Nene to score.

For a while, both parties came and went, and no one could take advantage.

However, with less and less game time, the Rockets' hope of a comeback is also getting smaller and smaller.
