Basketball Myth: Super Guard

At this point in the 2012-2013 season, the Warriors' head coach wasn't Steve Kerr, but Mark Jackson.

Like many great guards who turned into coaches after retiring, Coach Jackson played for the New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Toronto Raptors, Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets. Wait for the team, is a very good defender.

In Jackson's NBA career, he contributed a total of 10,334 assists, second only to John Stockton, Jason Kidd, and Steve Nash in the NBA's historical assists list, which is one of the few in NBA history. One of several players with a career assist total of over 10,000.

However, Coach Jackson pays attention to the balance of offense and defense, and defense is the foundation, so the Warriors are currently playing in a regular lineup.

Center Bogut, power forward David Lee, small forward Barnes, shooting guard Klay, and point guard Curry have not started to play "one big and four small", let alone "death five small".

As for Dream Chasing Green, he is still a fringe player on the bench, a rookie, averaging only 2.9 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.

So Curry can only be envious in his heart.

Turn around and the Warriors attack.

Curry pushed the ball to the frontcourt, first asked for a pick-and-roll, ready to find a chance to shoot a three-pointer, but the 76ers switched defenses too quickly, Qin Hao, Iguodala, Xiaoka, Butler, all four can defend. Multiple positions, fast speed, good awareness, and infinite defense.

Infinite switching is the essence of the 76ers defense.

"It's a pity." Curry sighed inwardly. After all, he didn't find a chance to shoot a three-pointer. He could only make a breakthrough. He made an emergency stop and rushed into the inside line. He used a high hitting board to score the ball.

Although Curry returned one, but the three-point shot was limited, Curry's biggest killer was equivalent to no effect.

In addition, Bogut and David Lee did not take much advantage in the interior. The 76ers switched and helped too quickly. They could switch infinitely and help quickly. Bogut and David Lee wanted to It's not easy to play in the post in the post.

The 76ers had a seven-point lead in the first quarter.

"beep......"

Coach Jackson called a timeout.

When the players came down, he made some adjustments.

Curry just frowned. He scored 4 points in just a few minutes, and his performance was good, but he didn't make a 3-pointer.

"Clay." Curry suddenly turned his head and waved to Clay. "Wait a minute, pay attention to your running, I'll pass the ball to you, wait for me at the three-point line, and shoot when you catch the ball, understand?"

"Yeah." Clay nodded.

Curry stood up, glanced at the scoreboard, and whispered, "There must be a three-pointer."

With only two points and two points, the Warriors simply can't catch up, not to mention that the 76ers are not only scoring two-pointers, but also scoring three-pointers.

......

After a while, the pause ends.

The two sides returned to the court, and the Warriors attacked.

This time, Curry didn't give the ball to the inside line, but asked for a pick-and-roll first. He used the pick-and-roll to break through, attract the defense, and then split the ball out and give it to Klay.

Clay caught the ball and shot, and the shot was very fast. Iguodala rushed to it at the first time, but it was still a little late, and then he heard a "swoosh".

The goal was scored, the Warriors' first 3-pointer of the day.

"Huh?" Qin Hao raised his brows and looked at Curry, "Clay has already opened, what about you?"

This three-pointer hit is considered to quench their thirst for the Warriors, but it is obviously not enough. They are still behind, and they turn around and come over to the 76ers. Qin Hao breaks the ball and passes it to Xiaoka. Xiaoka feints after taking the ball. , break through decisively, and finally score a layup.

In the past, Xiaoka would mostly choose to pass the ball, but since Qin Hao told him that he had determined his goal for the next month or so, Xiaoka became more and more determined on the offensive end.

In the next few rounds, the two sides went back and forth, and Curry himself made a three-pointer, but he failed to hit, and the Warriors were always at a disadvantage.

At this time, more than seven minutes have passed since the first quarter. Coach Luke began to make substitutions, replacing the main players one after another and replacing them with the bench lineup, leaving only Butler on the court.

The Warriors also made substitutions, putting on a rotation.

At this time, Butler is undoubtedly the biggest player on the court. After all, he is now an All-Star player.

I saw him running back to ask for the ball, then stepped out with his right foot, made a tentative step, and then changed direction to break through from the left.

The defender quickly retreated, but was still a little slower and was passed by Butler.

At the same time, the Warriors inside players quickly rushed to make up the defense. Since Butler is the biggest player on the court, he will naturally be taken care of.

"Huh." Butler chuckled and made a pull-up jumper.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

Coach Luke nodded secretly. He talked with Qin Hao and also knew the improvement plan Qin Hao arranged for Butler and Xiaoka. Naturally, he had no objection. Qin Hao's idea was right.

Judging from today's game, Xiaoka and Butler have done well, and have used them in the game. Xiaoka's offense has become more determined, and Butler has also played more varied, increasing outside shooting. Instead of going straight to the inside line head-to-head.

After a few minutes, the 76ers further widened the gap.

By the end of the first quarter, the 76ers led by 10 points.

Although he led by 10 points in a single quarter, Coach Luke felt that it was not enough. At the beginning of the second quarter, after sending the players on the court, he waved to Qin Hao, Butler, Iguodala, and Nene, and Xiaoka was sent. Go up, not on the sidelines at the moment.

Several people gathered around.

Coach Luke said: "Although we have a double-digit lead, it is not enough. We can do better. Our three-pointer did not open in the first quarter, because the other party was focusing on defending our three-pointer. The ball. But we can't just give up because the opponent focuses on defending three points."

"Isn't the tactics of our training for the past two days to deal with this situation?"

"We'll play according to our tactics later, mainly three-point tactics." Coach Luke said, spread out the tactical board, and emphasized the details.

After some arrangements were completed, more than three minutes had passed in the second quarter.

At this time, the Warriors made a substitution and replaced Curry and Klay.

As soon as Curry came up, he made a three-point shot. Sessions was not tall enough, and his defensive ability was much worse than Qin Hao's. It was difficult to restrain Curry.

Swish!

With a soft click, Curry hit a three-pointer.

After the goal, Curry waved his arms excitedly, turned and ran back to his own half. Qin Hao frowned secretly, feeling that Curry's three-pointer was going to go wild.

Sure enough, after dozens of seconds, Curry ran back to get the ball and swam beyond the three-point line. Sessions stepped on the three-point line and stared closely at Curry.

But at this moment, Curry suddenly made a three-pointer.

"What?" Sessions was taken aback. There was no sign of the ball, and Curry was still more than one meter away from the three-point line, close to two meters. He dared to shoot?
