Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Last season, Iguodala returned at the end of the regular season in an attempt to regain the team's leader position, but this season he has recognized the reality.

But the reality is often cruel, and he knew that it was impossible for him to compete with Qin Hao.

Not only because Coach Luke is optimistic about Qin Hao, but also because Qin Hao is getting better and better, and his talent and strength are undoubtedly revealed. Even last season, he was not as good as Qin Hao in terms of average per game in a single round.

Moreover, Iguodala's state has been declining in recent years. In the 07-08 season, he averaged 19.9 points per game, almost equal to 20 points per game. But in the 2009-10 season, he averaged only 17.1 points per game. Although he almost maintained this data last season, it was inseparable from Qin Hao feeding him the ball. Qin Hao's excellent organizational skills, coupled with The restraint on the defense on the offensive end allows Iguodala to score more easily.

In fact, even Iguodala himself knows that his prime has passed.

After the All-Star weekend, Iguodala returned to the starting lineup, and he had already set his position. At this time, when he saw Qin Hao cutting in the air, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately passed the ball.

Qin Hao jumped up after receiving the pass. Little Gasol screamed badly and turned around subconsciously to block the shot. However, instead of preventing Qin Hao from scoring, he even got a foul.

"beep!"

"Shh!"

The whistle blows, the ball goes in.

Little Gasol sighed helplessly, so he had to watch Qin Hao walk to the free throw line and steadily hit the extra penalty.

In this 2+1 score, the point difference became 6 points, and from this ball, the point difference between the two sides no longer narrowed, but expanded a little bit. When there were only two minutes left in the fourth quarter, the point difference became 9 points.

The Grizzlies asked for a timeout, and the situation is very unfavorable for them at the moment, with only two minutes left and a 9-point difference, it is difficult to catch up.

The most important thing is that they can't stop the 76ers offense, can't stop the 76ers from scoring, can't catch up to the 9-point deficit, and there is not enough time.

What made them even more uncomfortable was that when the timeout ended and they returned to the court, the 76ers began to target their three-pointers, preferring to let Gasol Jr. score inside rather than shoot them three-pointers.

Although Pau Gasol did not disappoint and scored again and again on the inside, the two-point chase was too slow. And he scored one, and the 76ers will soon be able to return one, which is of little significance.

"drop......"

When the game was over, with a score of 113:106, the 76ers defeated the Grizzlies by 7 points, won the game, and tied the Knicks in record. win, so the Sixers have the same record), and they reclaimed the third spot in the East.

Qin Hao scored 31 points, plus 7 rebounds and 9 assists, especially the key goals in the last few minutes, which helped the 76ers seal the game in one fell swoop.

In addition to Qin Hao, Nene scored 13 points, Iverson 13 points, Speights 10 points, 8 rebounds, Andre Iguodala scored 16 points, plus 6 rebounds, 4 assists, Lu Wei scored 17 points, the whole Six of the team scored in double figures.

On the Grizzlies side, Pau Gasol scored a team-high 26 points and 11 rebounds. Conley was defended by Qin Hao and only scored 15 points. Gay scored 19 points. No one else could score in double figures. .

A game came to an end, and the news of the 76ers returning to the third place in the Eastern Conference swept across the fans.

......

"This time the Knicks are in trouble. They finally rose to the third place in the East, and they were overtaken by the 76ers. If things go on like this, if the final regular season ends and falls to the fourth place in the East, they will face the Heat in the second round. already."

"Yeah, with the strength of the Knicks, it shouldn't be a big problem to pass the first round, but if the second round is against the Heat, it's basically the end."

"Isn't it the same with the 76ers? So, there will definitely be a fierce competition between the two sides, grabbing the third place in the East, and fortunately avoiding the Heat in the second round of the playoffs."

Fans were talking.

There is only one month left in the regular season, and the playoffs are not far away. Many teams are already focusing on the playoffs, weighing and considering, and preparing for the playoffs.

For the top four teams in the East and West, the playoff tickets are already in the pocket, and the rest of this month's games are all about a playoff advantage.

......

New York.

In the Knicks practice arena, players are training.

Anthony was a little absent-minded. He took the ball from the three-point line and made a three-point shot. He shook his head, stopped training, and sat down with Nash on the sidelines, saying, "Steve, do you think if we meet each other? Heat, any hope of winning?"

"Yes," Nash said.

Anthony probably didn't catch Nash's answer so simply. He stared blankly at Nash. Nash smiled and explained: "If we meet the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals, there is still hope. According to the current situation in the Eastern Conference, the top four There should be no change in the team. As for the 5-8 position, the Pacers, Celtics, Hawks, Magic, Bucks, and the Pistons who have been in the limelight recently and won again and again, in short, these are the teams produced in it.”

"But no matter which four teams are in the end, there is no advantage to the top four. Except for the Celtics that may cause some trouble, the others should not be upset."

"I predict that there will be no upsets in the first round."

"Then, if we're third, we'll play against the Bulls in the second round, and if we're fourth, we'll play against the Heat," Nash said. "If we're third, we can build up in the first and second rounds. , adjust the state. If we can beat the Bulls in the second round, and wait until the Eastern Conference finals, even if we face the Heat, our morale is high, our fighting spirit is high, and our state has been adjusted to a good state, so we may not be able to fight the Heat. "

Hearing this, Anthony nodded again and again.

The first round shouldn't be a problem, but if the Heat meet the Heat in the second round, it's really troublesome, and it's better against the Bulls, after all, the Bulls have only one "giant".

Anthony said: "Then the problem now is, we have to get the third place in the East."

"Yes." Nash nodded, "So now our biggest competitor is not a team in the first round of the playoffs, nor the Heat, or the Bulls, but the 76ers."

"Yeah." Anthony responded with a gleam in his eyes.

In the last month, in more than a dozen games, the Knicks and the 76ers will not directly play against each other, but they will fight for the third place in the Eastern Conference.

In this regard, the Heat naturally do not care, anyway, in their eyes, the opponent is not even in the East, because they only have one goal - the championship.

On the contrary, the Bulls were a little unhappy, and felt that they were being treated as soft persimmons.

PS: The previous chapter 1039 is wrong. There are several places where "Pistons" is written as "Magic", which has been revised, sorry!
