Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"beep......"

The 76ers' streak forced the Bulls to request a timeout.

When the players came down, Coach Thibodeau frowned and made a substitution first: "Bogans, wait for you to come down and rest, cj-Watson, come on."

The reason why the Bulls fell into the disadvantage these few minutes, Bogans's defense against Iverson is not in place is an important reason. It is precisely because of his inadequacy of Iverson's defense that Iverson can always find an opportunity to tear the Bulls' defense.

Once Iverson gets rid of Bogans, the Bulls must have other players to make up the defense, and the defense against Qin Hao will be difficult to maintain.

So coach Thibodeau had to replace Bogans and replace Watson.

Watson is only 188 cm tall, much shorter than Bogans, but faster, and Coach Thibodeau thinks he might be better at defending against Iverson.

"Watson." Coach Thibodeau said: "You have only one task, to defend Iverson."

"Yes." Watson agreed.

As long as Watson can guard against Iverson, without the cooperation of Iverson and Qin Hao, and only relying on Qin Hao to fight alone, just like the second quarter, it is difficult to do much.

However, Coach Thibodeau underestimated Iverson and Qin Hao.

......

When the timeout ends, both teams return to the court.

The Bulls scored one first, relying on tactical movement, Rolle Deng got a singles opportunity, faced Brand's defensive hit, and turned the difference into 10 points.

Then the 76ers counterattacked. Qin Hao came to the frontcourt and asked for a pick-and-roll, but failed to find a good opportunity to pass the ball to Iverson again. He and Iverson do not have a clear position, both can score, and both can play offense. It is precisely because of this variability that the two partners have achieved good results.

"Come on." Watson stepped forward, in front of Iverson.

Iverson accelerated with a change of direction and tried to break through, but was unable to succeed. Watson was much faster than Bogans, reacted quickly, and blocked Iverson's breakthrough.

But at this moment, Iverson suddenly stepped back, pulled the ball back, and made a step-back jumper.

Swish!

With a bang, the ball went in.

Coach Thibodeau frowned at the ball. Watson blocked Iverson's breakthrough, but he failed to prevent Iverson's score. What's the use?

After a while, Iverson changed direction continuously, turning Watson around.

Despite increasing age and declining athletic ability, Iverson's speed is no longer than at his peak, but he is still fast, and in addition to speed, he has experience and skills.

"Whoosh!"

After the continuous change of direction, Iverson suddenly accelerated, passed half of Watson's position, and quickly rushed to the inside. Noah could only step forward to make up for the defense, while Iverson immediately divided the ball and passed it to Nene. , Nene took the ball and jumped up with a double-handed dunk, and also scored two points.

Coach Thibodeau's face was ugly. Although Qin Hao didn't score, Iverson scored and assisted his teammates. The 76ers scored 4 points in a row, and the difference was not widened.

"Be careful." Thibodeau shouted.

Watson secretly ruthless, strengthened his defense, and became fierce.

At the same time, Qin Hao opened fire.

"ball."

A counter-run, Qin Hao rushed to his teammates for the ball, Iverson passed the ball, Qin Hao took the ball and Ross rushed over, Qin Hao raised the ball and pretended to play singles, Boozer immediately stepped forward and helped Ross assist. Defend. In a one-on-one situation, Qin Hao couldn't guard against Ross, and it was difficult for Ross to guard against Qin Hao.

As soon as Boozer stepped forward, Qin Hao passed the ball to Speights.

"Damn." Boozer cursed inwardly and could only retreat.

At this moment, Qin Hao moved sideways, Speights stepped forward, passed the ball to Qin Hao, and took advantage of the situation to make a pick-and-roll for Qin Hao to block Ross.

Qin Hao caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

Swish!

Enter too!

Boozer has already pounced on the ball and defended it in place, but he still couldn't stop Qin Hao...

The difference between the two sides is always within ten points.

In a blink of an eye, halfway through the third quarter, the two sides began to change into rotations. What made Coach Thibodeau more depressed was that the 76ers' bench lineup also played well.

By the end of the third quarter, the Bulls only led by 6 points.

"Damn, how come there are only 6 points left?"

"It was a dozen points ahead before, but now there are only six points left, what are you doing?"

In the audience, the Bulls fans were upset.

Those who swore before that the game would become garbage time after three quarters were all depressed at the moment, and they guessed wrong.

......

The fourth quarter is about to begin.

Qin Hao and others surrounded Coach Luke. Coach Luke drew tactics on the tactical board and made some arrangements. Then he put away the tactical board and said, "There are 6 points left, come on, catch up with the score."

"Yes."

The crowd agreed in unison.

At this time, the replacement lineup was sent. The 76ers had a big and four small, Mozkov, Thaddeus Young, Iguodala, Lou Wei, Holiday.

Iguodala was placed on the bench as a small forward. Coach Luke also made the same arrangement in the last few minutes of the third quarter, and the effect was not bad.

Although Iguodala is not in good shape today and has a crotch on the offensive end, his defensive skills are still there, which has improved the strength of the 76ers' bench lineup.

"Snapped!"

With a soft sound, Iguodala made a steal, quickly grabbed the basketball and launched a counterattack. After two steps forward, he pushed with both hands and gave it to Lu Wei. Lu Wei was galloping, and when he reached the front court, it was a one-handed dunk.

Bang!

Another two points.

"Nice job." Assistant Coach Harry grinned and smiled. "The point difference has narrowed further. I didn't expect to play Iguodala on the bench."

"Well." Coach Luke responded.

He does not mean that.

Hearing Assistant Coach Harry's words, Coach Luke moved in his heart and put Iguodala on the bench and let Iverson continue to partner with Qin Hao, which is also a good way.

With Iverson's height, the three of them together with Lu Wei and Holiday are indeed too disadvantaged in terms of height. The three of them can't play the 3rd position, but Iguodala can.

And Iverson and Qin Hao partner well.

Swapping the two seems to be the best of both worlds. Both the starting lineup and the bench lineup have good competitiveness.

It's just that Iguodala is not very friendly.

In the blink of an eye, a few minutes passed, and the difference between the two sides was still only a few points.

"Ask for a time-out." Coach Thibodeau called for a time-out, his face stern and his tone chilling, "Derrick (Derrick Rose), come on. And Noah, and Boozer too." He looked at Rose, "Derrick, there are only a few minutes left, we have to win the game."

"Understood." Ross nodded heavily, his expression serious, and his eyes became sharper.
