Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Pause ends soon.

Watching the players walk onto the court, Coach McHale still frowned.

On offense, Harden gradually regained his form. Yao Ming and Scola in the interior have obvious advantages and can always maintain continuous scoring output.

It's just that he was really worried about defense. The time difference was widened to 9 points in just a short time just now. It was not a problem of the Rockets' offense, but a problem of defense.

How can we prevent it?

Qin Hao can't guard this point, and Harden can't guard it. In addition, Iguodala, Butler, Leonard, these three positions can't be guarded.

To have a guard, a small forward, a power forward, to guard the 76ers' three small forwards, how to defend?

"Hopefully the 76ers' 3-pointers won't continue to be so accurate." Coach McHale shook his head without thinking about it.

With only a few minutes left in the game, that's all.

on the field.

The Rockets attacked, Harden pushed the ball to the frontcourt, pressed the rhythm first, passed the ball two or three times, and finally handed it to Yao Ming. Yao Ming directly overwhelmed the position close to the basket. After catching the ball, he turned over and hooked. Bates could only smile wryly, watching the ball go in.

The 76ers fought back.

Qin Hao came to the frontcourt and saw that the Rockets' defense line had expanded greatly, and almost all of them threw themselves beyond the three-point line. Obviously, they were afraid of their three-pointers and did not give them three-pointers.

"Pick-and-roll."

Qin Hao made a gesture, used the pick and roll to break through, and went straight to the inside.

The Rockets' defense line expanded too much, and it was too late to stop them. The airborne inside line was too large, so they could only watch Qin Hao make a layup easily and return the color.

In the next few rounds, the Rockets did not lose to the 76ers by relying on their inside advantage and sticking to the three-point line on the defensive end.

But they can't maintain a high enough hit rate all the time.

boom!

With a muffled sound, the Rockets strike.

Iguodala grabbed the rebound and quickly launched a counterattack. When he reached the center line, he passed the ball and gave it to Qin Hao. Qin Hao took the ball and rushed to the basket. The Rockets players rushed to Qin Hao, but Qin Hao had no choice. The layup, but the ball, went to Butler outside the three-point line in the left bottom corner.

boom!

With a muffled sound, Butler struck a three-pointer.

The home fans were all relieved, just now they thought it was over again.

The 76ers' counterattack was too fast, and they didn't give the Rockets a chance to calmly set up their defenses. After all, the Rockets had Yao Ming and Scola. How could their speed keep up with the 76ers' counterattack.

Fortunately, the ball didn't go in...

"not good."

"Be careful......"

At this moment, a figure quickly rushed into the inside line. Yao Ming was already stuck in position, waiting for the rebound to start. As a result, an arm suddenly stretched out in front of him. Before he could react, he grabbed the basketball. past.

Yao Ming was startled, and when he looked closely, he saw Qin Hao pass the ball out and give it to Butler again.

"It's over now."

"Shh!"

This time, Butler hit a three-pointer.

There was lament in the audience, at this time on the court, losing offensive rebounds and letting the 76ers make three-pointers are the most fatal for the Rockets.

......

Before you know it, with just two minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Sixers lead by as much as 12 points.

Coach McHale called for another timeout. Now, in this situation, he already knew in his heart that he might lose the game today.

Chasing 12 points in two minutes is too difficult.

However, Coach McHale still carefully arranged the arrangement, only emphasizing one point: "Defend the three-pointer well, defend every ball well, and only when we defend it will we have a chance."

"Yes."

Yao Ming nodded in unison.

As for the 76ers, Coach Luke's arrangement was very simple. He didn't let the players continue to shoot three-pointers or change the lineup. He just said, "Give the ball to Qin."

With a 12-point lead in the final two minutes, the Sixers only needed to do one thing well to win the game, and that was to keep scoring.

As long as the 76ers can score, the Rockets will have a hard time catching up.

The way of playing just now was not safe at this time. Coach Luke felt that the safest thing was to hand the ball to Qin Hao and rely on his personal ability.

......

Both sides returned to the field.

At this time, the score difference was too large, the home fans lost their confidence, the audience seemed a little depressed, the atmosphere was dull and lifeless.

Harden took the ball in the backcourt and advanced to the frontcourt to face Qin Hao. He was still a little timid, and finally passed the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming singled, causing Speights to foul and walk to the free throw line to make two free throws. , the difference becomes 10 points.

When he turned to the offense, Qin Hao came to the frontcourt, but changed the fast-paced offense from before, pressed the rhythm outside the three-point line, and passed the ball out after a few seconds.

The others were not in a hurry, the basketball was passed among several people, and the ball was given to Qin Hao again until there were only 8 seconds left in the 24-second attack time.

"It's going to be a single."

The Rockets players also knew that Qin Hao was definitely a single player, but they didn't dare to double-team easily, because once they were double-teamed, it would give the 76ers a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

At this point, everyone on the 76ers side can shoot 3-pointers.

Harden pounced on Qin Hao, and Yao Ming stayed inside as the last barrier.

The next moment, Qin Hao started, a change of direction accelerated, Harden quickly retreated, but Qin Hao suddenly stopped, a sudden stop, and suddenly passed Harden most of the body, not waiting for Yao Ming to come up to make up the defense , Qin Hao jumped up after only one step forward, and made an emergency stop jumper.

I saw the basketball flew out from Qin Hao's fingertips, crossed a beautiful arc, and finally smashed through the net and hit the hollow.

"I lost."

"No chance."

The ball hit, and the home fans were completely devastated.

There was only one minute left in the game, and the difference was still 12 points. It was impossible to catch up.

In fact, this is indeed the case. When Qin Hao scored the ball, and with the continuous consumption of time, the Rockets had no chance. In the last minute or so, Harden made a three-pointer and missed it, and Yao Ming also shot a three-pointer. , or did not enter, the game is completely gone.

"drop......"

When the game ended, the score was 120:108, and the 76ers defeated the Rockets by 12 points. In the end, the Rockets did not use foul tactics, because the score gap was too large and meaningless.

This made the home fans a little unwilling. Although Harden performed averagely today, Yao Ming played extremely well. He scored 36 points, plus 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

This performance, in the end, lost.

"The 76ers' counterattack in the last quarter was so good."

"Yeah, I didn't expect them to send such a lineup, a Speights, plus four players about two meters, it is so terrible."

"The main reason is that the offensive end is too scary."

People sigh.

Although they are unwilling to lose, the home fans also admit that the 76ers are very strong, very strong, especially their offense in the last quarter is too sharp.
