Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Philadelphia, in the training gym.

Today's team training has ended, and the other players have left, while Qin Hao, Xiaoka, and Butler stayed as usual.

In addition to Qin Hao and the other two, there are their respective trainers, Wood, Barry, and Snetter.

In addition, there is also Curry.

Now Curry has also started to train with Qin Hao and the other two, but he can only train on his own, and he is not at the level to be Qin Hao and the others' sparring partner. One-on-one or one-on-two sparring can only be done by Qin Hao, Butler, and Xiaoka.

In fact, there are other people in the team who want to practice with them, such as rookie Brown, and the newly joined Smith, Arthur, and Beasley, all want to get close to Qin Hao and the others.

But before they opened their mouths, Lou Williams and others dispelled their idea. Not everyone can practice with Qin Hao and the others.

In the past, it was only Qin Hao, Butler, and Xiaoka. Others including Lou Williams and Nene were not able to join.

As for Curry, it was Qin Hao's request.

A group of people can only envy Seth's luck, being valued by Qin Hao. Although he is just a substitute player, his future prospects will not be bad.

Of course, Qin Hao is not nepotism. The reason why he did not invite Lou Williams, Nene, and Speights is that their skills have been finalized, and that's it.

And Curry is still young. This is only his second season. He is still in the growth period. Qin Hao knows that Curry will become a very good shooter in a few years, so he will take him and train him well.

On the court.

Qin Hao is still training for breakthroughs, and the people defending him are Butler and Xiaoka, not just one.

Qin Hao opened his hand to ask for the ball, stood on the three-point line, first made a fake shot, and then suddenly accelerated. Xiaoka retreated, Qin Hao swung his shoulders, paused for a moment, and looked like he was going to change direction. Xiaoka was not sure, and subconsciously moved sideways a little.

At this time, Qin Hao suddenly accelerated, not to change direction, but a "quick stop and start", the change of rhythm, plus the amazing speed, instantly rushed past Xiaoka.

"Too fast." Curry smacked his lips and exclaimed: "Qin's breakthrough speed is too fast."

Although he passed Kawhi Leonard, Butler was still behind him. Butler did not act rashly, but just stood in position and waited for Qin Hao to arrive.

Qin Hao slapped the ball forward, bent over, grabbed the ball with both hands, and the position of the ball was very low, almost touching the ground. He stepped out with his left foot and moved his body to the left.

Butler subconsciously moved to the right, but the next moment he knew it was not good. Qin Hao suddenly jumped sideways, stepped out with his right foot, and made a European step, passing Butler in one go, and then held the basketball with his right hand and made a low layup.

Swish!

The ball went in.

"Beautiful." Curry praised.

Barry, Wood and others also had bright eyes and cheered.

This breakthrough combines speed and skills. It doesn't look complicated, and it can even be said to be very simple. Qin Hao didn't take a few steps in total, and dribbled only two or three times, but he cleverly passed Kawhi Leonard and Butler.

Kawhi Leonard turned back and exchanged glances with Butler. Both of them were a little helpless. They had to admit that Qin Hao's breakthrough was very beautiful, combining speed and skills very well.

"Come again."

Qin Hao returned to the three-point line and continued to break through.

Again and again, over and over again.

Even if it was one against two, Qin Hao still did not lose the upper hand.

Of course, Kawhi Leonard and Butler could not double-team in this kind of training, as that would lose the meaning of training. The two of them were more likely to be one in front and one behind, forming two lines of defense, appropriately assisting defense, and simulating the situation in the game.

Qin Hao broke through the two again and again, and scored the ball again and again. His movements were not fancy, which was completely different from Irving's breakthrough, but gave people a very crisp feeling.

"Tsk tsk, I wish I could break through like this." Curry sighed.

"You think too much." Barry laughed and said, "It seems that Qin's movements are not complicated, but in fact they are not simple at all. Speed, height, confrontation, and skills are combined in Qin, which leads to such a breakthrough. For other people, such as Irving of the Cavaliers and Harden of the Rockets, although their breakthroughs are also very powerful, it is difficult to replicate Qin's breakthrough."

Wood next to him also spoke, with a serious expression, and said seriously: "Qin has walked out of his own way and has his own style."

After a while, Qin Hao stopped.

Several people came to the sidelines and sat down. Qin Hao drank a sip of water and said to Butler, Xiaoka, and Xiao Curry: "Although we have won five consecutive games, there are still big problems with our lineup, especially defense."

"That's right." Xiaoka said: "It was much easier to defend last season, but now it is too troublesome. The team really shouldn't let Iguodala go."

"Yes." Butler also nodded.

The impact of losing Iguodala is really too great, and their main lineup with both offense and defense last season is gone.

It doesn't matter that Thaddeus Young and Mozgov are missing, and the depth of the bench lineup has dropped a lot.

"Seth." Qin Hao reached out and patted Curry's shoulder, encouraging him: "Work hard, you have to seize the opportunity."

"Yeah." Curry nodded heavily.

For the 76ers, the lack of lineup is a bad thing, but for Curry it is an opportunity.

He got a lot of opportunities in the regular season last season, but in the playoffs he was almost the same as Brickins and Delfilo, and could only sit on the sidelines as a spectator.

Now the team's lineup is lacking and needs someone to fill it. If he performs well enough, he can occupy a place in the team's regular rotation.

When the playoffs come, you don't have to just be a cheering spectator.

The day's training is over.

Qin Hao went home and looked at his wife.

After Jiang Xue became pregnant, her temperament became more sensitive, and she would sometimes act petty. Qin Hao understood this and would try his best to stay with Jiang Xue as long as he had time.

However, he didn't stay at home for long. He quickly rushed to the airport, met his teammates, and boarded the plane to Miami.

...

Miami, AmericanAirlines Arena.

Today the Heat are at home and will face the 76ers.

They failed to meet in the playoffs last season. The Heat lost to the Bulls in the Eastern Conference semifinals and were eliminated early.

However, the two teams can be regarded as old enemies, but now only Wade and Bosh are left here, and there is no Big Three anymore.

In the arena, players from both sides have arrived and are taking the field to warm up.

After James left, the Heat also added some new players, such as Sean Williams, Bill Walker, Hassan Whiteside, etc.

However, James cannot be replaced by others. Without him, the Heat will always lose a bit of luster.

After some warm-up, the game officially started.
