Basketball Myth: Super Guard

In a blink of an eye, April has arrived.

Entering April means that there is only the last half month of the regular season left, and there is not much time left for some teams.

For teams that are hovering around eighth place in the East and West, the last half month will be their last chance.

Of course, for the 76ers, there is no need to worry about this. They have already locked in the playoffs a month in advance.

In the 76ers training facility.

The players were training. Coach Luke stood on the sidelines with a smile on his face and nodded with relief: "Not bad."

Assistant coach Harry came over and said with a smile: "Everyone has performed very well during this period, especially Butler and Leonard. They are becoming more and more like generals."

More than a month has passed since the end of the All-Star Weekend.

Over the past month, the 76ers have begun preparing for the playoffs.

The first is to adjust the playing time. Except for Kawhi and Butler, everyone else's playing time has been adjusted.

Some guys saw more minutes, some guys saw less.

For example, Iguodala, Nene, Lu Wei, Speights, Mozkov, etc., all have their playing time increased to varying degrees, because after the playoffs, except for Qin Hao, Butler, and Xiaoka, they Also need to take on more tasks.

The playing time of Curry Jr., Thaddeus Young, Sessions, etc. has been reduced.

This is also for the playoffs.

When the playoffs come, Qin Hao will definitely no longer be the "big man behind the scenes" like he is now. His playing time will increase a lot and he will stay on the court for a long time. Therefore, the playing time of Sessions, who overlaps with his position, will reduce.

The same is true for Thaddeus Young. Since his position overlaps with Butler and Kawhi, his playing time will be reduced in the playoffs.

As for Curry Jr., he is still a rookie. Coach Luke will give him some time to practice during the regular season. When the playoffs come, he will not have much room to perform.

As for Delfilo, Brickins, Rice, and Neto, these people may only be waving flags from the sidelines in the playoffs. At most, they will only play in garbage time. It depends on whether there is garbage time.

At the same time, there have been some adjustments in tactics.

Last season the 76ers' tactics revolved around Qin Hao alone, but this season coach Luke developed more tactics, not only around Qin Hao alone, but also specially formulated some tactics for Butler and Kawhi.

Correspondingly, the tactical status of players such as Iguodala and Nene has declined.

In the past month, Coach Luke has been making conscious adjustments to allow everyone to adjust their state and prepare for the playoffs in the best possible condition.

The players did not disappoint him and were in very good condition.

Especially Butler and Kawhi.

After the All-Star Weekend, the progress of the two did not stop there. The two are still improving and becoming stronger.

In more than a month and 20 games, Qin Hao is still very low-key, averaging only 18.2 points per game. However, he also averages 10.4 assists and 9.6 rebounds per game, a nearly triple-double. He is low-key but extremely efficient.

In these twenty games, Butler averaged 27.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game. Kawhi averaged 20.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game. In addition, he averaged 20.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game. 2.4 steals.

Moreover, in twenty games, Butler contributed two buzzer beaters, and Kawhi also had one.

This is enough to prove that at critical moments, the two people's roles have become more and more prominent, and they already have the strength to help the team win at critical moments.

In more than a month and 20 games, the 76ers have a record of 17 wins and 3 losses. The current record is still ranked first in the Eastern Conference and unshakable. The second-place Bulls are 6 games behind them.

"Bang!"

There was an explosion.

Coach Luke collected his thoughts, looked at the court, and laughed again.

This was an explosive dunk from Qin Hao, a one-handed split dunk after a breakthrough. It was so explosive that the basket was shaking and shaking, which was eye-catching.

"Good shot." Assistant Coach Harry shouted.

A moment later, Qin Hao came to the frontcourt, asked for a pick-and-roll, then made a breakthrough, slowed down slightly, paused, and made an emergency jump shot.

Uh-huh!

Enter again.

In normal training, Qin Hao doesn't need to keep a low profile. He simply kills everyone, no one can stop him, and his scoring range covers the entire half, even including the logo area.

"Not only Jimmy and Kawhi are improving, but Qin is also improving." The smile on coach Luke's face spread. "When the playoffs begin, Qin will no longer suppress his own strength. When he starts the playoff mode, we How strong will it be?”

Just thinking about it makes Coach Luke excited.

...

The next day, the 76ers rushed to the road to face the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant returned from injury, but the result did not change much. Where was the strength of both sides? In the end, the 76ers defeated the Lakers 116:105 and won another victory.

At the same time, other competitions are also in full swing...

Washington.

The home court of the Wizards, Wizards vs. Grizzlies.

This game has entered the fourth quarter, and the field has entered a fever pitch. The confrontation is fierce, the defense is fierce, and no one is willing to retreat.

Because for both sides, every game is very important. There is only half a month left in the playoffs, but they still need to work hard for the playoffs.

Now the Wizards are ranked eighth in the East and the Grizzlies are ranked seventh in the West.

"Swish!"

With a light sound, the audience was boiling.

Wall scored a key goal, tied the score, and dragged the game into overtime. The two sides will decide the winner in overtime.

......

Dallas.

The Mavericks played at home against the Rockets.

This game is also very important for both sides. The Mavericks are currently ranked eighth in the West and their position is not stable.

The Rockets are ranked fifth in the West. Although they are fifth, they do not have a significant advantage over the Spurs, who are ranked sixth behind. If they are surpassed by the Spurs and fall to sixth, they may meet the Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs.

This is a result that the Rockets do not want to see, so the game is very intense. The two sides played until the last minute to decide the winner...

......

More places, more games are going on, and fierce fighting is taking place.

The atmosphere of the entire NBA has become solemn. Except for a few teams that are destined to miss the playoffs, other teams are working hard.

Another half month has passed in a blink of an eye.

As time flies by, one game after another comes to an end.

Some teams have obtained tickets to the playoffs, some teams have been eliminated, some teams are gearing up and preparing silently, and some teams have set their sights on the draft in June and are going to shop around...

Unknowingly, the NBA regular season has come to an end.
