Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"Is this the case?"

"No, this is the All-Star Game. The game has just begun. Both sides are not very defensive. With Qin's three-point ability, he can just throw it."

"I'm still waiting to see him continue to perform, but it seems like he doesn't have a strong desire to attack today."

"It doesn't matter. Maybe it started because of the competition. Qin already stole the show in the previous individual competitions. Now he may want to keep a low profile and let his teammates perform first."

"Well, that makes sense, the game has just begun."

Qin Hao passed the ball to Butler, winked at Butler, and signaled him to shoot directly. Butler understood that after receiving the ball, he took a three-pointer.

The game had just begun, and the defense intensity of both sides was not high. It could even be said that there was no defense. The opponent facing Butler was Love. He stood almost two meters in front of Butler. He just raised his hands symbolically and did not do anything. The action of jumping forward.

Uh-huh!

There was a soft sound and the ball was scored.

In the next few rounds, the defensive intensity was still not strong. After all, this was the All-Star game, which was inherently performance-oriented.

On the court, Qin Hao and Griffin faced off, Rose and Curry faced off, Durant and James faced off, Butler and Love faced off, and Anthony and Davis faced off.

However, this is an All-Star Game, and the matchups cannot be strictly based on their respective positions and heights, at least not in the starting lineup.

Of course, in this kind of game that is not very defensive and mainly focuses on offense, outside players are actually more popular than inside players.

After a while, it was the Eastern team that had the upper hand because they had more outside players than inside players.

"It's almost time for a replacement."

"In this kind of game, the Western team's lineup is at a disadvantage. They are all shooting and don't defend much. They will definitely not be able to beat the Eastern team in terms of shooting."

"It's just a pity that Qin only made one shot and didn't score yet. His desire to attack today is really not strong. He didn't even care about organizing the offense and left it to Rose."

In the audience, people were talking.

The two sides also began to make substitutions, gradually replacing the main players and replacing them with substitute players, and each substitute had to come up and play for a while.

Qin Hao was also replaced. He was really just here to make soy sauce today. He had no intention of being in the limelight. He already had enough limelight yesterday and there was no need to be in the limelight again.

What's more, he has already won the All-Star Game MVP.

There seems to be no point in winning another one. After all, this is only the All-Star Game MVP, not the Finals MVP.

On the east side, Qin Hao, Rose, and Anthony were replaced by Kawhi, George, and Wade.

Although the All-Stars are assigned a combination of outside + inside, the No. 3 position is also included in the category of inside. And there are so many players at the No. 3 position in the East, so strictly speaking, there is only one inside player, Bosh.

Fortunately, this is better for coach Luke, because the 76ers originally play a "small lineup" and he can still enjoy it. He does not dare to try the "five small" easily in the 76ers. It doesn't matter for a while.

Moreover, these five players are all All-Star players!

After this substitution, the five players on the court became Wade, George, Kawhi, James, and Butler. Except for Wade, almost all were small forwards.

Wade picked up the ball at the bottom line, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and then passed it to James. James glanced at the teammates around him, raised the corners of his mouth, showed a smile, and then made a breakthrough, and then passed the ball to Butler. .

Butler didn't rush to take the ball. He feinted and then made a breakthrough. He also didn't take the shot himself, but passed the ball out.

At the same time, George stood outside the three-point line at a thirty-degree angle on the left.

Seeing the basketball flying over, he smiled slightly, knowing that Butler was feeding him the ball. After catching the ball, he jumped up and shot a three-pointer.

Uh-huh!

The ball goes in.

A moment later, Butler broke through and passed the ball to George. After George received the ball, he was about to shoot. Suddenly he saw Kawhi cutting in the air. He immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to Kawhi, who was cutting along the right baseline. Xiaoka grabbed the ball and jumped up, making a two-handed dunk.

For a time, the Eastern team was playing in full swing, which made the Western team unable to resist, and the point difference soon widened to close to double digits.

"beep......"

The Western team requested a timeout.

Head coach Scott Brooks frowned. The opponent's lineup made it difficult for them to defend. Except for Wade, the other four were all at the 3 position. They had height, body, and skills, and could shoot, break, and pass. With four people working together, the Western side is completely defenseless.

Brooks also wanted to create a lineup like this that could match up with the opponent, but there was no way. The lineup in the Western Conference was relatively balanced, with six inside players Davis, Griffin, Love, Howard, Nowitzki, and Aldrie. Strangely, there are five outside players, Curry, Harden, Lillard, Paul, and Parker, with only Durant at the 3rd position.

This lineup just doesn't match up.

Get more insides, rebounds, and inside defense will definitely have an absolute advantage, but you can't guard against the opponent's three-pointers from outside, and inside players can't save them. As soon as they go out, they will break through. Wait for you to cover them and pass the ball, and then pass to the outside. , or shoot a three-pointer.

But if there are a few more guards, they will suffer too much in terms of height. Curry, Parker, Lillard, Harden, Paul, the tallest Harden is only 196 centimeters.

These are all pure guards, not swingmen. It would be a huge disadvantage to let them face off against James, Butler, George, and Kawhi.

"Hey..." Coach Brooks sighed.

If it were a formal match, he would be happy because a balanced lineup means fewer weaknesses.

But this is the All-Star Game, and the emphasis is on offense and prominence, not balance.

After hesitating for a while, Coach Brooks put together a lineup with more inside players and fewer outside players, and continued to take advantage of the inside players.

But the effect is not good.

After playing for a while, the point difference was widened to more than ten points.

At this time, the Eastern side made another substitution. Players who had not played before were replaced at this moment...

...

The first quarter ended in a blink of an eye, the score was 37:27, and the Eastern team led by 10 points.

In the first quarter, the Eastern team led by 10 points, which still surprised the fans. After all, in the past, the "West was strong and the East was weak."

Soon, the second quarter begins.

The situation did not change after entering the second quarter. The Eastern team still had the upper hand. Qin Hao was not replaced until halfway through the second quarter. He still played soy sauce, passed the ball to his teammates, got two rebounds, and occasionally threw a three-pointer. That's it.

This made the fans feel very disappointed. They were also looking forward to Qin Hao continuing his performance yesterday and continuing his wonderful performance.

Unfortunately, Qin Hao didn't want to be in the limelight today. He just wanted to be a happy salted fish, lying on the beach and turning over occasionally.

Well, the sun is nice today.
