Basketball Myth: Super Guard

By the end of the first half, the 76ers trailed by as much as 15 points.

Entering the second half, Qin Hao wanted to help the team turn the situation around, doing almost everything, grabbing rebounds, organizing offenses, and hitting the basket with the ball...

After a few minutes, Qin Hao was sweating like rain, gasping for breath, but he was depressed and found that the effect was not good. The difference was narrowed a little, but it was still as much as 12 points.

Coach Luke called a timeout and replaced Qin Hao. He patted Qin Hao's arm: "Qin, you are too tired to play like this."

Qin Hao glanced at the scoreboard and was a little dazed: "Coach, I just want to help the team as much as I can, I can do whatever I can, grab rebounds, organize attacks, score by myself, I... ..but why is it still so far behind?"

Now that Iguodala is out, Qin Hao has become the only core of the team. There is a lot of pressure on him, and his heart is heavy.

Seeing the team in trouble and falling behind, he just wanted to help the team turn it around, but it ended up frustrating him.

Hey......

Coach Luke sighed and said: "Your idea is right, I know you want to help the team, even if you try your best. However, you want to do everything, but you lose something... ..."

"Efficiency." A flash of light flashed in Qin Hao's heart, and he suddenly woke up, "I lost efficiency, although I was doing everything, scoring, rebounding, organizing offense, defending... But I kept doing this. Running around, coupled with the opponent's high-intensity defense, caused me to consume a lot of physical energy and energy, but my efficiency was very low."

"That's right." Coach Luke was full of relief and said: "You used to play very efficiently, so you can always stand up to change the situation when the team needs it. Now without Iguodala, the defense you have to face Bigger, but thinking about doing everything, the efficiency will naturally decrease.”

In fact, it is not just Qin Hao who is inefficient.

The overall efficiency of the 76ers team is very low today. Affected by Iguodala's injury, the mentality of the players is a problem, and the change of the lineup and the adjustment of tactics are also a problem. In the end, the shooting rate is low, the defensive efficiency is low, and there are many mistakes. How can it not fall behind?

"Qin." Coach Luke comforted: "You don't have to blame yourself, you just need time to adapt to your new role, take your time."

Qin Hao nodded, but he was not in a relaxed mood.

Qin Hao didn't notice it before, but now without Iguodala, Qin Hao discovered that Iguodala played such a big role when he was there. He could contain the defense and make the opponent dare not easily double-team Qin Hao. Step up to score when necessary and give the Sixers offense more options...  

Now that Iguodala is injured and Qin Hao has become the only core, he finally understands that it is so difficult to be the core player of the team.

Moments later, at the end of the third quarter, the score difference has been widened to 18 points.

With this score, only the last quarter of the game is left, and the situation is very unfavorable for the 76ers, and it is difficult to come back.

In the last quarter, Qin Hao was replaced in the third minute. He began to focus on efficiency. On the one hand, he did a good job in organizing and mobilizing his teammates, on the other hand, he protected the rebounds and defended well.

Qin Hao reduced his personal attacks. Only when it was more critical did he suddenly burst out, but the effect was much better than before.

It's a pity that the difference is too big, and the adjustment of the lineup and the adjustment of tactics, some problems can not be solved in a moment.

In the end, the game ended, the score was 118:106, and the 76ers lost the game.

Qin Hao was not very efficient today, his shooting percentage was less than 40%. Although he still scored 26 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, he did not help the team win.

This game completely exposed the impact of Iguodala's absence, which attracted a lot of discussion from the outside world.

And on the same night, the 76ers rushed to the road and challenged the Portland Trail Blazers away after a day off.

At this time, Lillard had not yet entered the NBA. The leading star of the Blazers was LaMarcus Aldridge, in addition to Wesley Matthews, Gerald Wallace and others assisted. The Blazers The strength of the team is not weak, is expected to enter the playoffs.

Since the previous game between the 76ers and the Warriors exposed a lot of problems, the Blazers arranged targeted tactics.

Therefore, the 76ers fell into a disadvantage from the beginning of the game. The Blazers took advantage of some of the 76ers' problems and their own strength was strong enough to keep pressing the 76ers.

This game Qin Hao played a lot better than the last game, his efficiency has improved a lot, and he has become more calm on the court.

Unfortunately, when the game ended, the score was 107:100, and the 76ers still lost.

"It seems that Iguodala's injury has a great impact on the 76ers. After his injury, the 76ers have suffered a two-game losing streak."

"Yeah, Iguodala is injured, and Qin Hao is alone. He is still a rookie after all, how can he carry a team?"

"I think Qin played well in these two games. They both scored 20 points. It's just that the Blazers are very strong, so they couldn't win, right?"

"Oh, you don't understand. Without Iguodala, Qin has more ball possession, and it is normal to score more points, and it doesn't prove anything. On the contrary, the team loses consecutively, which is real things, this is the proof.”

"But......"

The outside world is talking, and the fans are arguing.

At the same time, the 76ers returned to the home court to welcome the Thunder challenge at home.

The last time the two sides played against the Thunder was a narrow victory. This time the two sides played against each other, and the situation became different. The 76ers lacked Iguodala and their strength declined, but the Thunder were still strong.

Like the previous Warriors and Trail Blazers, the Thunder also seized the weaknesses of the 76ers and arranged tactics in a targeted manner.

In addition, the strength of the Thunder team itself is stronger than that of the 76ers, so the 76ers soon fell into the disadvantage.

It wasn't until the second half that Qin Hao broke out and made consecutive three-pointers, which helped the 76ers narrow the score and even overtake them for a while.

Unfortunately, not long after, the score was overtaken by the Thunder again.

By the end of the game, the score was 110:103, and the 76ers lost again.

Qin Hao's performance was better than the previous two games. Although he only scored 22 points, his role on both ends of offense and defense was obvious, and many of the points were key points.

Coach Luke is very satisfied with Qin Hao's adaptability and progress, but many fans don't care about these, and they won't pay attention to whether Qin Hao has improved. They don't even watch the game, only the result.

As a result, the 76ers suffered a three-game losing streak after Iguodala was injured.

This made some fans question Qin Hao, thinking that he played well before because he had Iguodala escorting him, and now he can't do it without Iguodala.
