Basketball Myth: Super Guard

The Pacers' defense actually did a good job. Hibbert and West on the inside, Granger on the front line, and George and Hill on the back line. Several players have very good defensive abilities, and they form a combination of them. a rigorous system.

That's why some people are bullish on the Pacers.

If it was before, Qin Hao would still have some trouble facing such a team. He could only use the outside shot to contain the defense, and then use his speed to find opportunities to break through, try to make fouls, and kill the opponent's inside line.

But now the "breakthrough ability" has changed, and it is much easier for Qin Hao to tear open the opponent's line of defense.

After a pick-and-roll, Qin Hao shook off Hill, Hibbert came up to delay, Qin Hao chuckled lightly, and went straight to Hibbert, who was about to collide, Qin Hao suddenly dribbled the ball from behind, turned sideways, sticking With Hibbert breaking through the past. With a horse in front of him, Qin Hao took advantage of the situation and made a layup.

Seeing Qin Hao break through and score, several players of the Pacers exchanged glances to further strengthen their defense against Qin Hao, which was in Qin Hao's arms.

In the next round, Qin Hao still wanted to make a pick-and-roll breakthrough, but this time, instead of going up by himself, he restrained Hibbert, then hit the ground to pass the ball, and the basketball bounced from Hibbert's feet and flew to the inside line.

"Not good." Hibbert's face changed when he heard a "bang" behind him.

Nei Nei's hands exploded, and the momentum was heavy and domineering.

In the next few rounds, Qin Hao broke through again and again, and after attracting the defense, he sent a good pass to Nene and Speights, or assisted Nene to eat cake at the basket, or attracted the defense and then passed the ball back to Speights, who was sent by Speights. Mid-range hits...

For a time, Nene and Speights, who were originally suppressed by the Pacers, scored again and again. Although it was still difficult to limit Hibbert + West on the defensive end, they were not inferior on the offensive end.

Before you know it, the 76ers have caught up with the score and overtake by two points.

"beep......"

Coach Vogel called a timeout.

Several players came down, and Coach Vogel said with a solemn expression: "Next, we have to further strengthen our defense against Qin, cut off his passing routes for me, and cut off the connection between him and the inside players."

"Well." Several players nodded in unison.

Hibbert and West played very well in these few minutes and scored a lot of points, but the opponent was also scoring inside, because Qin Hao was always able to send them good passes, allowing them to score better than Hibbert and Weiss. Very simple.

So the root cause still lies in Qin Hao.

Here's the 76ers.

Coach Luke looked at Qin Hao and reminded: "Qin, the opponent will probably strengthen their attack on you later."

"I understand." Qin Hao smiled slightly, "Just let them come."

Seeing Qin Hao so confident, Coach Luke couldn't help laughing, spread out the tactical board, and arranged: "The other party will further strengthen the defense of Qin later, you should give him more cover. In addition, to run, we You have to speed up the tempo and dismantle the opponent's defense system as much as possible, understand?"

"Understood." Several people responded in unison.

Pause ends soon.

The two sides returned to the court, and the Pacers began to further strengthen their defense against Qin Hao. As soon as they saw Qin Hao holding the ball, someone came to help defend, forcing Qin Hao to score the ball in advance.

It's a pity that the Pacers underestimated Qin Hao.

Qin Hao faced Hill, George was beside him, ready to pounce at any time to help defend, Qin Hao glanced at the basket, chuckled, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and his left shoulder sank. Hill quickly retreated, and George also rushed over. The two of them, one left and one right, blocked Qin Hao's breakthrough route and did not let him pass easily.

However, Qin Hao didn't want to break through. He quickly took a step back and retreated to the outside of the three-point line. He tapped his toes on the ground, and jumped quickly to make a three-point shot.

Swish!

With a bang, the ball went in.

Hill was a little depressed, and George felt helpless, too difficult to guard against.

When the Pacers changed their defense, cut off the connection between Qin Hao and the inside players, and prevented him from feeding Nene and Speights, Qin Hao stepped up his personal offense.

Either an outside three-pointer, or a breakthrough shot, Qin Hao scored 7 points in a short period of time, and Qin Hao scored 9 points just halfway through the first quarter, helping the 76ers lead by 6 points.

Coach Vogel gave a wry smile. It's really a headache to meet such a player who can shoot and pass. One-on-one can't be defended at all, and help defense is not very useful.

It seems that it can only be double-teamed!

Generally speaking, when two teams play against each other, one of the teams has a player with very strong personal ability, and the other team will not double-team at the beginning, because double-teaming means missing people and taking risks.

For example, in this game, Coach Vogel didn't plan to double-team Qin Hao at first. Let's observe and test it first to see how Qin Hao's state is today. If he is in normal state and feels bad, then there is no need for double-teaming. . Even though he can watch over other people and let Qin Hao play alone, can he carry the entire team by himself when he is not in good condition?

But now Qin Hao is in good shape, with a hot hand, making breakthroughs, passing the ball, and making three-pointers.

At this time, the Pacers can only take risks, double-team Qin Hao, desperately restrict Qin Hao, and then let the rest of the 76ers play. If the rest of the 76ers do not play well, then the Pacers will make a profit .

However, at this time, more than half of the first quarter had passed. Coach Luke began to make substitutions and replaced Qin Hao. Coach Vogel temporarily held his mind and waited for the second quarter to double-team Qin Hao.

......

Both sides replaced the bench.

The 76ers still have the upper hand. Mozkov, Brand, Xiaoka, Lou Wei, Holiday. Although this lineup is not as good as the starting lineup, it is not weak.

It's just that Brand's point has become a loophole again.

The Pacers also replaced the bench, but George still stayed on the court. I saw him make a sudden stop after a change of direction and break through, and raised the ball. Brand hurriedly jumped up to try to block, but he was fooled. , George didn't jump, he took off after he jumped, made a foul, and also scored the ball.

When George walked to the free throw line and made a free throw, it was 2+1. Coach Luke's face became ugly. Brand's performance can no longer be described as disappointment, but despair.

Last season, Brand played well in the regular season, but as soon as the playoffs arrived, he pulled his hips, and the defense became a loophole. He was crushed by James in a bad way, and he made no achievements on the offensive end.

This season, his state has declined drastically. Not only is the regular season worse than last season, but after the playoffs, the same old problems have been committed again.

As soon as the playoffs arrive, you pull your hips, and you play so badly against a second-year player like George. How panic do you feel in your heart?

This mental quality...
