Basketball Myth: Super Guard

After a day of training, the effect was really limited. Iguodala’s injury forced Coach Luke to adjust the lineup and tactics. The players had to adapt slowly, not a matter of one or two days.

Mainly because Iguodala is the team leader and core player.

If a role player is injured, such as Brand's injury, the impact will not be great, Thaddeus Young can make up for it. Otherwise, let Iguodala top the 3 position, put Lu Wei in the starting lineup, and serve as the starting shooting guard, which can also solve the problem.

But now Iguodala is injured. Many of the team’s tactics revolve around him. His position in the team system is very important.

Once he gets injured, the impact will be huge.

Almost every team in the NBA will encounter injuries, but sometimes role players or substitute players are injured, which has little impact on the team, or even affects the team's record.

But if the core players are injured, the impact will be great.

For example, the Lakers, if Kobe is injured, the Lakers will immediately drop a few grades.

Another example is the Bulls. The Bulls have played very well this year, but if Rose is injured, the Bulls will be hit hard immediately, and they may be able to keep the playoff spot, but don’t even think about being No. 1 in the East.

But it is not completely without good news. On this day, the Bobcats lost a game, and the record of the 76ers became the same. And according to the score ranking, the 76ers surpassed the Bobcats, from tenth in the East to ninth in the East.

It just doesn't make the Sixers players happy.

......

A day later, the 76ers sit at home for the next regular-season game against the Golden State Warriors.

In the last game between the two sides, Qin Hao and Curry scored a three-pointer against Biao, and the fans watching exclaimed. Qin Hao and Curry played very well in that game, and in the end, the 76ers won.

This time the two sides played against each other again, which is what Qin Hao has been looking forward to. He needs an opponent like Curry to hone his three-point shooting.

It's a pity that Qin Hao's role is different now.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the game started.

On the 76ers side are Nene, Speights, Brand, Lu Wei, Qin Hao.

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors played very aggressively. They also knew that the 76ers' lack of Andre Iguodala would definitely have a great impact, so it was very targeted to point at Lou Williams. Wei's offense is sharp and defense is inadequate.

In less than three minutes, the Warriors had a five-point lead.

In the past three minutes, Qin Hao has been organizing the attack. He is now the only core of the team. He must take into account the entire situation and cannot just do his own work.

But this time, he had to stand up and score.

"Pick-and-roll."

Qin Hao asked for a pick-and-roll, then made a breakthrough, rushed inside to find a confrontation, and then scored the ball to help the 76ers stabilize the situation.

A minute later, Qin Hao hit another 3-pointer and scored 5 points in a row to help the 76ers catch up.

However, the Warriors responded quickly and began to double-team Qin Hao.

Now that Iguodala is missing, Qin Hao has become the strongest point of the 76ers, so the Warriors' goal is very clear, limiting Qin Hao and defending Qin Hao is equivalent to winning half.

When the opponent was double-teamed, Qin Hao immediately scored the ball and passed it to Lu Wei. As soon as Lu Wei got the ball, the defender rushed forward. Lu Wei scored the ball and passed it to Brand, but Brand missed the open space.

After that, Qin Hao encountered a double-teamed shot, and his teammates failed to score after several passes. There was even a mistake, which was stolen by the opponent and played directly into a fast break. This made Coach Luke couldn't help frowning. The change in tactics and the change in the lineup brought a series of problems.

These issues will take time to resolve.

At the same time, without Iguodala's stable scoring point, the restraint on defense is reduced, which puts a lot of pressure on Qin Hao. The opponent will not hesitate to double-team when he sees the ball.

"beep......"

Coach Luke called a timeout.

When the players came down, Coach Luke spread out the tactical board: "We need to reduce meaningless passes, Lu Wei, you have to play more resolutely, and you have to be decisive in your shots. You have a strong scoring ability and you have to play it. Also, Brand, Speights, Nene, you should pay attention to covering Qin, and after he encounters a double-teamed shot, give him a screen, let him run without the ball, and find opportunities to catch the ball and shoot three-pointers."

"clear."

Several people agreed in unison.

After the timeout came back, Lu Wei stepped up his personal attack, first hitting a high board after a breakthrough, and then scoring a jumper with a step back and a dry pull.

At the same time, Qin Hao began to play without the ball, using the cover of his teammates to throw off the defense, and found an opportunity to catch the ball and immediately shot, not giving the opponent a chance to double-team.

Under the leadership of Qin Hao and Lu Wei, the 76ers gradually reversed the situation.

However, when it was time for the rotation, Qin Hao and Lu Wei were both replaced, and the 76ers soon fell into a disadvantage again.

Because Lou Wei was put in the starting lineup, a very important point was lost in the rotation. Before, Lou Wei had always been the "sixth man" of the team and played a very important role in the rotation.

Now the rotation lineup lacks Lou Wei, and the strength is greatly reduced.

Before I knew it, the first quarter ended, and the 76ers trailed by 4 points.

"There aren't enough people. Lu Wei was put in the starting lineup, and the rotation was lacking. Young's performance was average, just Holiday was okay, but he's not the kind of player with explosive scoring ability."

"Hey, if only Iguodala wasn't injured."

Even fans in the audience can tell that the 76ers are going through the throes of Iguodala's injury truce.

......

Entering the second quarter, the Warriors still double-teamed Qin Hao.

At this time, Lou Wei felt cold and kept hitting the iron. At this time, he was another strong point of the 76ers' scoring besides Qin Hao. When he felt cold, the 76ers' offense became troublesome.

Qin Hao was double-teamed, and Lu Wei didn't have a hand. Brand, Speights, and Nene, you chiseled, I chiseled, but it was a drop in the bucket.

Meanwhile, Curry's 3-pointer started to explode.

I saw Curry first running continuously, throwing off the defender and then receiving a pass from his teammate and immediately shot a three-pointer, and the basketball went into the net. Then Curry came another one of his own. First, he dribbled the ball behind his back and tried to change his direction to break through. In fact, he stepped back for a three-pointer and hit again.

Qin Hao wanted to fight back, but the opponent double-teamed as soon as he got the ball, and someone was staring at him all the time, making it clear that he would rather let other players of the 76ers have a chance than give Qin Hao a chance.

For a while, the difference began to widen.

By the end of the first half, the Warriors had led by 13 points.

"It's already 13 points behind."

"The situation is not good, Qin is double-teamed, Lu Wei has no touch, and the others are just average, but the Warriors played so well today, especially Curry."

"I really miss Qin's three-point shot. Unfortunately, he didn't have a good chance to make a shot today. Those shots were all strong against defense, and the hit rate was not high."

The home fans lamented and felt heartbroken.
