Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Indiana, Bankers Life Arena.

This is the home court of the Pacers. The audience was full of people and it was very lively. Many home fans came to the scene to cheer for the Pacers.

Because today's game is special, other games may not come, but today's home fans must come to support the home team.

"It seems that the 76ers are in good shape. It doesn't look like they are playing back-to-back. There will be no problems in today's game, right?"

"Don't worry, although the 76ers are strong, today's advantage is on our Pacers side. You can see that the 76ers are in good shape at the moment, wait for the game to start, play two quarters, and have physical problems. It will definitely be exposed."

"Oh, hopefully I can win."

At this point, both players have arrived on the field and are warming up.

The 76ers didn't look tired. Instead, the players looked excited.

After all, today is a crucial game. As long as they win this game, they will be able to break the 76ers' all-time winning streak and create a new record.

On the Pacers side, the atmosphere was very solemn, and every player's expression was very serious. Obviously, even though they were bound to win this game in their hearts, they were still extremely jealous of the 76ers.

After a warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the field.

Qin Hao glanced at the Pacers rest area, his eyes fell on George, George seemed to have a feeling, and turned his head, just in time to meet Qin Hao's eyes, Qin Hao grinned and smiled brightly at George, but George couldn't help but shaking all over...  

The smile reminded him of some not-so-good memories.

"The guy who hides the knife in his smile..." George murmured to himself, every time Qin Hao smiled brightly at him, encouraging him to work hard and work hard, saying that I was optimistic about you, but at the same time he punched hard in the game , use him as a background board.

Qin Hao has always claimed that the two have a good personal relationship and are good friends.

In an interview with reporters before the game today, Qin Hao said it again, so that the reporter even came to ask George and asked him how he felt about playing against his friends today?

How do you feel?

Not happy, not happy, I want to refuse!

George even regretted making Qin Hao such a friend, so when he saw Qin Hao grinning and showing eight teeth, his heart throbbed, and he always had a bad feeling.

"Hmph." George snorted angrily, expressing his attitude, we are now opponents.

"Hey, just like this to a friend?" Qin Hao pouted and gave George a resentful look, which made George's whole body quiver and his hair stood on end.

George quickly looked away, ignored Qin Hao, and listened to Coach Vogel's tactics.

at the same time.

Coach Luke is also arranging tactics: "The Pacers are a defensive team, and their defense is very good, so we have to play a little bit more patiently and pay attention to the success rate. Another point, we must pay attention to protecting rebounds, The opponent has a height advantage in the interior, we have to fight for it, everyone has to fight for rebounds, understand?"

"Yes."

"clear."

Everyone agreed.

Then coach Luke warned a few more words. As for the defensive end, there is nothing to emphasize, because the Pacers have no stars.

After Granger was sidelined due to injury, the Pacers did not have the so-called "leading star". George's scoring average was the highest in the team, but it was only 18.2 points per game, followed by David West, who averaged 17 points per game. , As for Hibbert and Hill, they averaged ten points per game.

Other players are in the single digits.

After a while, the game begins.

The 76ers have a regular starter, and the Pacers have Hibbert, West, George, Gerald Green, and George Hill.

The first was the jump ball. Hibbert jumped to the ball and slapped it in the backcourt. Hill controlled the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing Qin Hao coming up, his eyes narrowed, he lowered his center of gravity subconsciously, and guarded the ball carefully. , this is the situation on the field.

The 76ers adopted man-to-man, Hill glanced at it, then asked for a pick-and-roll, Hibbert came out, Hill got rid of it with the help of the pick-and-roll, but a figure flashed in front of him, Qin Hao had quickly bypassed Hibbert and restarted. stand in front of him.

"It's so fast." Hill sighed and passed the ball to George.

George took the ball, faced Butler's singles, and he was a little terrified of Qin Hao, but he was fine against Butler, very decisive, after a three-threat, he changed direction and made a breakthrough.

Butler moved quickly, stuck in position, and did not let George take a step forward. The two were close to each other and wrestled secretly. George couldn't help frowning, but he couldn't take advantage of it. In desperation, he had to score the ball and pass it to Green... ...

After a few passes, the ball went to Hibbert.

The Pacers have no advantage on the outside, so they have some advantages on the inside. Hibbert's height, West's skills and experience, can still take some advantage against Nene and Speights.

boom!

With a muffled sound, Hibbert's shot hit hard.

The 76ers wouldn’t let Hibbert and West play in the low post. Seeing Hibbert holding the ball in a post-up single, they immediately went to the defense and interfered with Hibbert’s shot.

Speights stuck West, and Iguodala grabbed a rebound and passed it to Qin Hao. Qin Hao quickly launched a counterattack. After reaching the frontcourt, he made an accelerated breakthrough and passed Hill by half in one step, forcing Xi Burt had to pounce on the defense.

Whoosh!

Qin Hao scored the ball and gave it to Nene, who easily scored.

In the next few rounds, the Pacers did not play smoothly on the offensive end. They continuously gave the ball to the inside players, but the 76ers’ help defense was too fast. Hibbert and West played low-post singles. The 76ers immediately stepped up to help, and when Hibbert and West passed the ball, they were able to get back on the perimeter immediately.

This is the perimeter combination of the 76ers, Qin Hao + Iguodala + Butler, with height, speed and defensive ability, it is a great supplement to the inside.

On the offensive end, the Pacers had difficulty breaking through the 76ers' defense, but on the defensive end, they couldn't guard against Qin Hao.

The Pacers have Hibbert and West on the inside, George on the front line, and Green on the 2nd position, all of whom have good defensive ability, but Hill on the 1st position is an offensive defender, and defense is not his strong point. Although he defends very aggressively and tough.

What's more, he was facing Qin Hao. Hill was 188 cm tall, ten centimeters shorter than Qin Hao, and his speed was not as fast as Qin Hao's. Strength, he is still not as good.

In other words, Hill was at a disadvantage against Qin Hao, and he couldn't defend Qin Hao at all, and once others came to help defend, the Pacers' defense would have problems.

So after just over three minutes in the first quarter, the Pacers were already at a disadvantage, the score became 11:5, and the 76ers led by 6 points.
