Basketball Myth: Super Guard

When the third quarter ended, the 76ers trailed by 12 points.

In the last quarter, Qin Hao was replaced early.

At the same time, James was also replaced early, and the two faced each other. After they came up, they faced Biao. Qin Hao had already given up, regardless of whether it was reasonable or unreasonable. If his teammates could not score, he must stand up and change again Be the "crazy man".

It's just that the Heat have been prepared this time, knowing that Qin Hao is terrifying to go crazy, so Coach Spoelstra made some arrangements before the game.

For example, if you see the opponent playing a three-pointer and shoot a three-pointer for Qin Hao, then you would rather foul and send Qin Hao to the free throw line, or foul early to prevent them from running out of the tactic, and at the same time interrupt Qin Hao's rhythm. .... In short, try not to let Qin Hao shoot three-pointers, even if he does, it must not be a good shot, and it will also disrupt his rhythm and make him uncomfortable.

Because once Qin Hao makes a three-pointer, it will come in a series.

Now Qin Hao's three-pointer ability has reached a new level, but under such a target as the Heat, there is no chance for a series, and only one is scored after a while, but it's a drop in the bucket.

And, the Heat have James.

Entering the last quarter, James broke out completely, almost unstoppable on the offensive end, and Butler, who was even more defensive on the defensive end, kept hitting the iron, and one person dominated both ends of the offense and defense.

The 76ers trailed by 11 points with three minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Three minutes, 11 points difference.

It's not that there's no chance, it's just that it's just too difficult for the 76ers to be in today's state.

In the end, when the game ended, the Heat defeated the 76ers 116:108, rewriting the series to a 1:1 tie.

In this game, Qin Hao was double-teamed, but still scored 31 points, but 15 of them came from the free throw line, in addition to 7 rebounds and 8 assists.

Butler did not play well, only 5 of 18 shots, and 4 free throws, a total of 15 points, the efficiency can be said to be very low.

Xiaoka was fairly stable, scoring 16 points on 5 of 10 shots, including two three-pointers, plus 4 of 6 free throws.

Iguodala scored 8 points, Nene scored 5 points, Lu Wei scored 12 points, Speights scored 8 points...

Butler didn't play well today, and he blamed himself very much. After returning to the locker room, he covered his head with a towel so that no one could see his expression. But you don't need to look at Qin Hao to know that Butler's face must be full of self-blame at the moment, he is actually a very competitive person.

Qin Hao patted Butler on the shoulder without any consolation.

It is enough to say something once. In the end, it is up to Butler himself. After all, it is to face James, and another person may not be much better than him.

Coach Luke didn't have time to blame Butler, but summoned Harry and Cox to study how to deal with the next game.

Qin Hao's crazy three-pointer in the last few minutes of the first game before caught the Heat by surprise, but today's game is obviously prepared and made a reasonable response. What Coach Luke and the others have to do is to formulate countermeasures for this situation.

After some discussion, the three of them smiled wryly.

"If you want to free Qin, someone else must stand up to score and punish the opponent's double team. If others can't stand up, the Heat will only target Qin more recklessly and frantically double him. No matter how strong Qin is. , just like today, hitting 30+ will not help."

"Yeah. But Butler's state..."

"Where's the little card?"

"Xiaoka's performance in this game is not bad, but after all, he is still too young, and he is also responsible for defending James on the defensive end. It is enough to get a dozen points, and you can't demand too much from him."

"Then Iguodala... Forget it, now Iguodala's state has dropped a lot compared to last season, and I expect him to score 20 points in a game, or even more, then Not realistic."

"Apart from these, who else?"

The three shook their heads, a little helpless.

Coach Luke sighed. He was actually mentally prepared for this situation. After all, Butler was only playing in the playoffs for the first time, and Xiaoka was still a second-year player.

However, for the 76ers, this is not enough, they need to do better, after all, the opponent is the Heat with the Big Three.

A hero with three gangs, James has Wade, Bosh, and Ray Allen beside him.

Qin Hao also needs someone to help. More than a month ago, in the past two months, Coach Luke gave up the team's record, the purpose was to train Butler and Xiaoka, let them improve as much as possible, so as to cope with such a situation—— Unfortunately, the time is still too short.

"If there's more time..." Coach Luke shook his head, but he didn't say the words behind, there is no if in the world.

No matter how difficult the road ahead, you can only face it.

......

A day later, the 76ers headed to the road for Game 3 of the series.

In this game, the Heat returned to the home court, plus they won a game before, the momentum became more and more fierce, with a turbulent and tidal-like aura.

From the very beginning of the game, the Heat had the upper hand. Under the leadership of the Big Three, the Heat had high morale, played aggressively, and always maintained their lead.

On the 76ers side, Butler's condition is still not good. He began to try more breakthroughs and wanted to get close to the basket, but the effect was not good. The opponent's defense was very targeted. Once he rushed inside, he would encounter problems. Containment can only be done in the crowd, and the efficiency can be imagined.

Xiaoka is still very stable, but this also means that it is difficult for you to expect him to break out suddenly, score crazy points, and get twenty or thirty points.

Is the quarter down, the 76ers trail by 8 points.

Entering the second quarter, the situation did not change much. The 76ers were still behind. When the halftime ended, the difference was quietly opened to more than ten points.

Seeing this situation, Coach Luke frowned, and in the second half, he simply gave Qin Hao "unrestricted firepower".

In the second half, Qin Hao started to make crazy shots. Three-pointers, breakthroughs, and mid-range shots alone accounted for more than half of the 76ers' shots.

It's just that the effect was not very good. Although Qin Hao scored a lot of points, he even broke the score in the third quarter and tied the score for a while, but he was quickly overtaken by the opponent.

When the third quarter ended, Qin Hao had scored 33 points, but the 76ers were still behind.

Entering the last quarter, Qin Hao's efficiency decreased as his physical fitness declined. He only scored 6 points in the whole quarter and scored a game-high 39 points, but the 76ers still lost the game 102:109.

The series score was rewritten to 2:1, and the situation became more and more unfavorable for the 76ers.
