Basketball Myth: Super Guard

The second half begins.

Entering the second half, it is still the Big Three vs. the Big Three.

The situation of both sides is relatively similar. It mainly depends on the Big Three. If the Big Three play well, they will naturally play well.

As for role players breaking out, it's not impossible, but it doesn't happen often.

What's more, even when comparing role players, the 76ers are not much inferior. The opponent has Jr. Smith who "can be an All-Star every day as long as he doesn't have any nerves." The 76ers also have a player who "is the best sixth man when I come off the bench." Lu Wei.

So the most important thing is the performance of the stars.

On the field.

James played in isolation and made a breakthrough, pushing Kawhi back. Then he took a step back and made a fadeaway jumper.

Uh-huh!

The ball goes in.

However, when he turned around, Qin Hao immediately returned the favor.

When he came to the frontcourt, Qin Hao ran back to get the ball, took a look at the situation on the court, and first faked a shot, but the opponent was not fooled.

By the way, it was no longer James or Irving who defended Qin Hao at this time, but Jr. instead.

The previous first half of the game let the Cavaliers head coach know that even James could not guard Qin Hao. Instead of letting him guard Qin Hao and waste too much energy on defense, it is better to step away and focus on offense, which would still be a good thing. It is possible to offset the damage caused by Qin Hao.

So now I changed to Jr.

The Cavaliers players all knew that Jr. couldn't guard against Qin Hao. They were all staring at this side. Qin Hao accelerated after a feint and broke through smoothly.

jr immediately stepped back sideways, while other Cavaliers players were also taking action. TT took a step forward, preparing to defend, and James also moved slightly closer to this side, wanting to help defend.

Once Qin Hao breaks through, he will be surrounded.

"Haha, I didn't say I wanted to break through." Qin Hao chuckled, stopped suddenly, and shot directly from mid-range.

"Want to shoot?" Jr reacted, jumped up quickly, stretched out his hand to block the shot, but found that the basketball was getting further and further away from him.

It's leaning back!

Uh-huh!

The next moment, the basketball penetrated the net and made a hollow hit.

Jr was helpless and dejected. He really couldn't guard Qin Hao. It was so frustrating that not only could he not guard Qin Hao today, he couldn't even find the touch to attack. He only got it in the third quarter. At 3 points, a two-pointer, plus a free throw, but not a single three-pointer.

A moment later, Qin Hao passed the ball to Butler, ran to the other side, and pulled the player away. Butler took a single, took a test step, then accelerated to break through and scored a layup.

But Owen quickly returned the favor...

The two sides are going back and forth. If one side scores a goal, the other side will immediately return another one. No one can take advantage of the back and forth.

But the Cavaliers were already more than ten points behind, and that was not what they wanted. What they wanted was to gain the upper hand, to catch up and overtake the score.

Time is passing quickly...

At the end of the third quarter, the 76ers still led by 10 points.

The head coach of the Cavaliers frowned. This quarter was in vain. The 11-point difference became 10 points, and they were only chasing one point.

There was only one quarter left and they were 10 points behind. Although this point difference was not impossible to catch up with, it was ultimately very detrimental to them.

The situation is not good!

At the same time, the fans in the audience also felt bad and were worried about the Cavaliers.

"Still 10 points behind."

"Well, there is only one quarter left. If it remains the same as the previous three quarters, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to catch up."

"Come on, this is our home court..."

This season, James returned and the Cavaliers formed a Big Three lineup, which made Cleveland fans extremely excited and happy.

The Cavaliers are not considered an emerging team. They were founded in 1970 and have a history of more than 40 years, but they have never won an NBA championship.

When James decided to leave the Heat and return to the Cavaliers, his slogan was to win a championship trophy for his hometown team and break Cleveland's 40-year history without a championship.

Cleveland fans are looking forward to the Cavaliers winning the NBA championship under the leadership of James.

If you want to win the championship, you must first reach the finals, right?

However, the second round with the Bulls was so difficult before, and it took seven games to decide the winner. Now they are suppressed by the 76ers in the Eastern Conference finals, which makes the fans feel a little disappointed.

...

In a blink of an eye, the fourth quarter begins.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers began to counterattack. If they want to catch up with the 10-point difference in the last quarter, they must play better, defend and attack well.

They did a good job on the offensive end. Like the Eagles before, the Cavaliers also seized on the two points of Nene and Sessions. Poor Nene, a veteran in his thirties, has to go through what a veteran should not The damage sustained.

The Cavaliers use the pick-and-roll to form a defense switch, switching to one of the Big Three's matchups, Nene, or Sessions, and then it's singles.

This kind of misplaced singles has a high success rate.

The key is that the 76ers dare not double-team easily. After all, the opponent still has two giants. Once double-teamed, the defense will be disrupted, and the result may not be much better than one-on-one isolation.

But on the defensive end, the Cavaliers can only sigh helplessly.

This is almost a replica, with each other's positions reversed. The Big Three of the Cavaliers know how to play mismatched singles, catching Nene and Sessions to death. Qin Hao, Butler, and Xiaoka also know how to seize the opponent's defensive weaknesses and strike hard.

Same reason.

The 76ers can't guard the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers can't guard the 76ers. The two sides are just attacking to see who has the strongest firepower.

However, this is disadvantageous for the Cavaliers who are behind in the score. It will be difficult to chase points if they cannot guard the opponent, but time waits for no one and is still passing quickly.

Soon the fourth quarter was over, with just over two minutes left.

The Cavaliers head coach called another timeout, but it didn't have much effect because they were still 9 points behind.

In such a long time, the point difference has only narrowed by 1 point.

When the timeout ended and the two sides returned to the court, James immediately scored one, and it was a 2+1.

But when he turned around, Qin Hao hit a three-pointer, which offset James' 2+1 just now. The point difference was still 9 points...

Unknowingly, the game had come to an end, with only ten seconds left. The Cavaliers still had a chance to make a final attack, but it was meaningless.

At this time, the Cavaliers were still 7 points behind.

With a point difference of 7 and more than ten seconds, there was no way to catch up, and the foul tactics were meaningless.

boom!

When the final attack hit the iron, the game came to an end. The score was fixed at 123:116. The 76ers won by 7 points and won the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

What impressed the fans about this game was the show of the Big Three vs. the Big Three, especially the duel between Qin Hao and James, which shocked people and made it difficult to calm down. They were still talking about it after the game was over.

How could Qin be so strong?

Even James was suppressed by him!
