Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"Shh!"

The ball goes in.

For a moment, Harden was stunned.

Teammates also looked at Harden. Isn't this what Harden did just now? It's exactly the same, like a mirror copy.

Coach McHale on the sidelines had a stiff expression. He had comforted Harden before, saying that the three-point drop was just a coincidence, so now?

Is it a coincidence once, or a coincidence twice?

"Tsk tsk." Butler rubbed his hands together with excitement on his face, looking at Qin Hao with adoring eyes, "As for the mentality of making people, it has to be Qin."

"Then you have to have strength." Iguodala said with a smile: "If you change someone else, you don't have that strength even if you want to do this."

"Too......"

It's also bad luck for Harden, who made him too limelight after a few years.

A Harden, an Irving, in the eyes of ordinary fans, that is the textbook of the field, the kind of masters, Antetokounmpo, James and the others can't learn, they love Harden Irving.

After all, you can't study the physical qualities of Antetokounmpo and James. In the words of fans, you can't learn any skills.

Of course, Harden and Irving do have strength, play gorgeously, and have their own labels, such as Harden's three-point retreat, European step, Irving's ball-handling, levers, etc...

Unfortunately, it was precisely because of this that Qin Hao started copying their homework a long time ago.

A Qin Hao who learned their skills at their peak, and then turned around and played them at their growth stage.

"It's okay, it's just a ball."

"It's just a coincidence..."

Teammates have comforted Harden.

But it's better not to comfort, are you flogging?

Harden shook his head, took a deep breath, and forced himself to remain calm and calm. He took the ball in the backcourt and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Facing Qin Hao, he felt uncomfortable all over. He glanced at the basket again, Suddenly I don't know what to do.

Usually he has a hundred ways to score, but now his mind is a mess, as if all these have been forgotten.

In fact, it's not that he forgot. As soon as he thought of every technical action he used, Qin Hao would immediately mirror it and use it against himself. Harden's subconscious resisted spontaneously and told him not to use this kind of technical action.

Whoosh!

In the end, Harden chose to pass the ball.

Coach McHale frowned. This is not a good phenomenon. Harden finally adjusted, but it seems to be affected again now.

For a period of time after that, Harden changed his normal behavior and played extraordinarily simple, without the technical movements with distinctive personal labels. It was like Irving suddenly stopped being fancy. Playing like James, you can imagine what that is. situation?

Of course, it's not that Harden can't score if he plays simply.

He can also score, but lacks a personal style, not a habitual way of playing, that eclipses his offense, relegating him from a star to a blue-collar tier.

Under the trade-offs, the 76ers will soon widen the gap further.

In a blink of an eye, the 76ers had a 14-point lead.

"beep......"

Coach McHale called a timeout, looked at the bench, replaced Yao Ming and Parsons, then stopped Harden and explained, "Don't worry about those, don't be afraid of Qin. It's up to you how you play. How to play, step back, euro step, he can use it as he wants, as long as you don't care, it's ok."

Anyway, as long as you are not embarrassed yourself, it is others who are embarrassed.

Harden nodded, but was visibly reluctant.

After a while, the pause ends.

The two sides returned to the court, the Rockets changed to the starting lineup, and the 76ers also changed to the starting lineup.

Rockets attack.

Harden pushed the ball to the frontcourt, first asked for a pick-and-roll, got rid of Qin Hao, moved two steps, and chose a three-point shot.

boom!

The result did not enter.

This made him even more depressed.

After that, Harden simply cut down on his personal offense and focused on passing the ball to his teammates, especially Yao Ming.

......

Swish!

With a soft sound, Qin Hao hit a three-pointer.

This three-pointer hit, and the difference became 17 points.

Harden pushed the ball to the front court, asked for a pick-and-roll, and then passed the ball back to Yao Ming at the top of the arc. Yao Ming lifted the ball and Nene jumped up subconsciously, but he was fooled.

The next moment, Yao Ming put the ball down, made an accelerated breakthrough, passed by Nene, hugged the ball and went straight to the basket. Speights rushed up and tried to stop Yao Ming, but was called for a foul.

"Shhhh."

Yao Ming hit the free throw line and made two free throws.

A foul on Yao Ming is basically equivalent to a foul on Qin Hao. Among the centers, Yao Ming's free throws can be said to be the most accurate.

The difference is 15 points.

More than ten seconds later, the 76ers struck, and Yao Ming took the rebound and passed it to Harden.

In the frontcourt, Yao Ming asked for the ball in a low post, and Harden gave it to him. Yao Ming first turned his back, put his back against Nene, and tried to play singles with his back, but then he turned against Nene and turned around in an instant. Pass Nene, then slap the ball to the floor, and with one step, you are not far from the basket.

Speights quickly pounced, blocking the front.

However, this did not stop Yao Ming from scoring. He stopped, raised the ball with his right hand, and threw a one-handed shot and hit it again.

"Gan, how to prevent this?" Speights cursed, looking inward.

Nene can only return a wry smile, a player who is more than 2 meters tall, and has such excellent shooting ability, three-point shooting, mid-range shooting, and even free throws are extremely accurate, as well as footsteps at the basket, hooks, and throws. Waiting skills, it is really too difficult to prevent.

Originally, the 76ers had achieved an absolute advantage, leading by 17 points. However, with Yao Ming's explosion and scoring again and again, the difference between the two sides was rapidly narrowing.

Coach Luke frowned, called a timeout, replaced Speights with Mozkov, and set up twin towers to limit Yao Ming.

......

Yao Ming holds the ball in the low post, and the person who is opposite Yao Ming becomes Mozkov. Not only him, but Nene is also preparing to help defend. Once Yao Ming posts up in the low post, he will go up immediately.

But when Nei Nei pounced, Yao Ming passed the ball, but not to the outside, but an inside pass to Scola.

At this time, Nene had lost his defensive position under the basket. It was too late to turn around and pounce on Scola. Not only did he fail to guard the ball, he also received a foul and was scored 2+1 by Scola.

When Scola went to the free throw line to hit the penalty, the difference between the two sides narrowed further.

And, to make matters worse, this is Nene's third foul.

It's only the first half, and Nene has already been fouled three times. Coach Luke is faced with a choice, should he replace Nene for protection or let him continue to play?

"Substitution."

In the end, Coach Luke chose to make substitutions, replacing Nene and replacing Speights, but this did not solve the problem. Even if Yao Ming is double-teamed, Yao Ming can score the ball. He averaged 3.9 assists per game this season, reaching a new career high.

The internal pass just now made the 76ers' twin towers and the help defense useless.

At this point, the 76ers were completely at a disadvantage.
