Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 598: Waiting for an Opportunity

Moments later, the Hornets players arrived.

Marcus Thornton, Willie Green, Peja Stojakovic, Jason Smith, these are all substitutes, followed by the main players, Trevor Ariza, Karl Rand Li, Marco Belinelli, David West, and Hornets star Chris Paul.

Qin Hao's eyes fell on Paul. Paul's height is a disadvantage in the long-standing NBA, but even with a height of 183 cm, he has achieved results that others may not be able to achieve in a lifetime in just a few seasons in the NBA. , King of assists, king of steals, averaged a double-double for three consecutive seasons, was selected as an All-Star substitute, was selected as an All-Star starter, and was selected as the best team for 2nd and 1st team.

The most admired thing about Qin Hao is that with a height of 183cm, he can be selected for the 2nd or 1st team of the league's best defensive team for several consecutive years.

This is very bullshit.

Everyone knows that being too short is a disadvantage on the defensive end, but Paul has been selected for the best defensive team for several consecutive years, which shows his greatness.

Paul also saw Qin Hao, looked at Qin Hao and looked away.

Qin Hao also looked back and started to warm up.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, Qin Hao hit a three-pointer.

It has been half a year since the breakthrough of the three-pointer. Every breakthrough and technological transformation, Qin Hao will usher in a period of rapid growth. In half a year, Qin Hao's three-pointers and breakthroughs have improved a bit, and he has fully adapted to the NBA's three-point line (the NBA three-point line is 91.5cm farther than the ncaa).

It's just that the mid-range jumper has not been able to break through, limiting his overall strength.

After a warm-up, the players went back to the sidelines.

Here's the 76ers.

Qin Hao and others surrounded Coach Collins, and Coach Collins said, "Holiday, Iguodala, Brand, Nosinho, Hawes, wait for your starters."

No surprise, Qin Hao is just a substitute.

Then Coach Collins spread out the tactical board and began to arrange: "Holiday, your task is to watch Paul. And the rest of you, pay attention to cutting off the connection between Paul and his teammates, and the connection between him and the inside players. Hawes, Nosinho, take care not to miss anyone."

"On the offensive end, just follow what we usually train for." After that, he clapped his hands, "Come on, pass the ball more, and play our tactics."

This is a pre-season game, and it is for practicing tactics and cultivating tacit understanding. In fact, winning or losing is not that important, as long as the purpose of training is achieved.

Not far away, Hornets coach Monty Williams is also arranged.

Players from both sides took to the court. The Hornets' starting lineup was center Emika Okafor, power forward David West, small forward Trevor Ariza, shooting guard Marco Gallinelli, and point guard Mike Reese Paul.

First the jump ball, the Sixers got the ball and started the offense...  

Assistant Coach Luca sat down beside Qin Hao. He was very optimistic about Qin Hao. In addition, although Qin Hao was talented, he was not arrogant at all. He trained very hard. In addition to completing the daily training, he would stay alone. Rehearse. Moreover, he has a humble and polite character, which makes Assistant Luka impressed him very well, and he usually takes care of Qin Hao very much.

"Qin." Luca's assistant pointed to the court and said to Qin Hao, "You can't be distracted when you're not on the court. You must always pay attention to the game. This is not just to let your teammates know that you are supporting them, but also for yourself. . You're going to watch the game, read the game."

"Observe your teammates, observe your opponents, observe the trend of the game, and when you're on the court, you won't know how to play, understand?"

Hearing this, Qin Hao nodded: "Understood."

on the field.

With three minutes to go in the first quarter, the 76ers fell behind.

Holiday was not able to restrain Paul. After all, there is still a big gap between him and Paul. For a player of Paul's level, it is too difficult to guard against him.

I saw Paul strolling around the court, or scoring by himself, or mobilizing his teammates and sending good passes for his teammates, playing very easily.

Of course, this is also related to the low defensive intensity in the preseason.

"Pick-and-roll." Paul asked for a pick-and-roll, caught the pick-and-roll and got rid of Holiday, but Hawes didn't come forward and delay the first time, giving Paul a lot of space.

Seeing this, Paul is directly an iconic mid-range shot.

Assistant Coach Luca shook his head and sighed: "Hawes and Nosinho only joined the team after all, and the coordination with their teammates is a problem. He should have delayed the ball as soon as possible."

Qin Hao hummed and looked at the field.

The reason why the 76ers fell short has a lot to do with Hawes and Nosinho's failure to integrate into the team's tactical system, but another reason is because of Holiday.

The core of the Hornets is Paul, and Holiday obviously failed to restrain Paul, allowing Paul to play with ease, revitalizing the team, and the Hornets played more blossoms.

Paul, in turn, restrained Holiday.

"As expected of a player who has been in the best defensive team year after year." Qin Hao sighed in his heart that although Paul is not as tall as Holiday, he is ten centimeters worse, but his defense is very good, very targeted, and constantly gives Holiday interfered, disrupting his rhythm.

In a few minutes, Holiday was not only blocked from attacking by himself, but also failed to complete the organizational task well by striking iron, and was even stole one by Paul.

"Request a time off."

Coach Collins called for a timeout, his face a little ugly.

Although this is the preseason, it is mainly about training, and the outcome is not so important. Generally, the main players will not play for a long time, nor will they go all out.

But Holiday played too much.

One-on-one with Paul, whether it is offensive organization or defense, was completely destroyed by Paul, which made Coach Collins a little bit uncomfortable.

"Substitution." Coach Collins glanced around the bench and said, "Meeks, come on and replace Holiday. Guard Paul for me, understand?"

"Understood." Meeks agreed loudly, turned his head to look at Qin Hao, but didn't dare to bark.

Having suffered under Qin Hao, Meeks has learned to behave.

Assistant Luka sighed inwardly, patted Qin Hao, and comforted: "It's okay, I'll be with you later."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "I think so too." With Meeks' ability, Qin Hao didn't think he could do better than Holiday. Organizationally, Meeks is a lot worse than Holiday.

Therefore, although Qin Hao felt a little angry about Coach Collins' dislike or even prejudice towards him, he was not in a hurry. Ready, waiting for the opportunity.
