Basketball Myth: Super Guard

The second quarter ended when George threw the ball in.

It was a buzzer-beater goal that drew excited screams from the home fans and loud cheers for George.

"Overtaken."

"Well, leading at half-time, the buzzer-beater was fantastic."

The goal helped the Pacers rewrite the score at 52:51, leading by one point.

At the same time, George's personal score also became 19 points, and he scored 19 points in the half, and his performance can be said to be very good. So far, his 19 points are the highest score in the game.

Halftime, in the 76ers locker room.

Coach Luke frowned. Today's game is really not easy to win. Back-to-back games are a test of players' physical fitness. At the same time, they are playing away from home. In addition to the "record breaking", the players all want to break the team's winning streak, but the more they play. In this way, the psychological pressure is even greater.

And that's not all, there's the Pacers' pressing defense, the frenzied consumption of the 76ers' physical strength, and the excellent performance of George...

The combination of various factors caused the 76ers, which should have the advantage in strength, to fall behind by 1 point at halftime.

And, it was the second half that gave Coach Luke a headache.

In the second half, the physical problems of the players will definitely become more prominent, the offensive efficiency will drop, and the hit rate will also drop, and with the progress of the game, the game time will pass, if the players cannot regain the lead, the psychological pressure of the players will be even greater.... ..maybe even a chain reaction.

"coach."

A voice sounded, and Coach Luke turned his head. Seeing Qin Hao, he forced a smile and said, "Is there something wrong?"

Qin Hao said: "Coach, I hope I will guard George in the second half."

"Oh?" Coach Luke raised his brows and thought about it carefully. It seemed that every time Qin Hao and George faced each other, Qin Hao had the upper hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Well, I I think it's feasible. It's just that your physical fitness..."

Today, due to various factors, especially physical reasons, the players of the 76ers are in a relatively average state, including Butler, who has been performing well before.

Therefore, Coach Luke hopes that Qin Hao will focus his energy and physical fitness on offense and avoid consumption in defense, because with the progress of the game, the physical fitness will further decline, and other people's scoring efficiency will become lower and lower, and then they will have to rely on Qin Hao. to score.

If Qin Hao goes to guard George, it will definitely consume more physical energy.

"It's alright." Qin Hao said with a smile: "Don't worry, Jimmy and the others were mainly attacking in the previous few games, so my consumption was not really big."

"This... that's fine." Coach Luke nodded.

If Qin Hao can restrain George well, it will be very useful.

......

Intermission is over.

Both sides returned to the court with the starting lineup, but Coach Vogel quickly frowned, because it was no longer Butler who was facing George, but Qin Hao.

on the field.

Seeing Qin Hao defending himself, George's face changed slightly, his heart was abrupt, and he was a little embarrassed for no reason, and said unhappily: "Why did you come to defend me? Butler, is he afraid?"

Qin Hao said with a smile: "But why do I sound like you are guilty of a guilty conscience? Could it be that you are afraid of me?"

"How is that possible." George sneered.

"Haha." Qin Hao showed eight teeth, "Don't worry, what is our relationship, I will definitely be very gentle to you."

Why does this sound so wrong?

George felt a chill all over his body, so he simply closed his mouth. He couldn't fight Qin Hao in bickering, but he didn't seem to be able to fight in other ways.

Can you change someone?

Whoosh!

Hill passed the ball to George, George glanced at the timer, there were less than ten seconds left, he made a gesture, Hibbert came up to the pick-and-roll, George quickly got rid of it, accelerated with a dodge, hugged the ball and rushed towards the ball. Inside.

But just as he jumped up to prepare for a layup, his heart suddenly trembled, and there was a sense of danger, and he subconsciously increased the speed of his shot.

Snapped!

A hand fanned to the backboard.

George's face changed, and he knew it was Qin Hao without turning his head.

This is indeed Qin Hao. Although George caught the pick-and-roll and got rid of it, Qin Hao's speed was much faster than Butler's. He chased quickly and almost gave George a chase. However, Qin Hao still interfered with George, and the ball failed to score.

"I knew..." George shook his head, very depressed.

He really didn't want to play against Qin Hao. Qin Hao was fast, bounced well, and had height. The key was that he was too cunning.

The 76ers got the rebound and started to fight back.

Qin Hao came to the front court, but did not rush to attack, but looked at George with a bright smile. George twitched, turned his head, and muttered silently, "Break out, we must."

"Pick-and-roll."

Qin Hao made a gesture, Nene came up to pick and roll, Qin Hao moved to the side to form a switch, and the person defending him became Hibbert.

This is what Qin Hao wants.

If there is no Hibbert on the inside, it will be much easier to play, and Hibbert has already been charged with a technical foul, and there are two ordinary fouls. Whose name is not called?

I saw that Qin Hao first changed direction continuously, and then accelerated suddenly, passing most of Hibbert's body in an instant, Hibbert turned around quickly, ready to pursue. But at this time Qin Hao pulled the ball back again. Hibbert subconsciously wanted to adjust his steps, but his foot slipped and he fell directly to the ground.

"This......"

In the audience, the fans were stunned.

Man, this is shaking people down.

Qin Hao stopped and glanced at Hibbert with contempt in his eyes, then jumped up, flicked his wrist, and the basketball crossed an arc and hit it steadily.

"Bastard." Hibbert became angry, got up and was about to fight Qin Hao, but was hugged by George and dragged back.

"Hey, George, make trouble." Qin Hao shook his head, feeling a little regretful that he almost got Hibbert down.

pity......

Although Hibbert was delayed in time and did not commit a fuss, his mood was affected, and he soon received another foul and was replaced by coach Vogel.

As soon as Hibbert goes, the Pacers’ inside advantage is gone. Although there are Ian Mahinmi and Miles Plumlee on the bench, they are completely incomparable with Hibbert, and Mahinmi is also on the bench. At the level of 5 points per game, Plumlee is still a rookie.

Moreover, after Qin Hao was in charge of defending George, George's performance was greatly restricted. He felt uncomfortable against Qin Hao, his state was no longer hot, and his hand felt cold.

At this moment, George made 1 of 3 shots, and Hibbert was replaced again. The Pacers' offense was stagnant, but the 76ers were in full swing.

At the end of the first half, the Pacers were still ahead by 1 point. In just a few minutes, the 76ers had already overtaken the score and led the Pacers by 7 points.
