Basketball Myth: Super Guard

When the second quarter ended, the score was frozen at 60:54, and neither side scored in the final thirty seconds, and the 76ers ended the first half with a six-point lead.

Xiaoka walked off the court and was greeted by his teammates.

Coach Luke also smiled, patted Xiaoka's arm, and praised: "You defend very well."

Kakashi started scratching his head again...

At the same time, the Blazers fans in the audience looked at Xiaoka with bad eyes.

"Where did this guy come from, it's all bad. If it wasn't for the ball he stole, maybe it would have caught up with the score by now."

"It seems to be this year's rookie. Anyway, the draft pick is not very high, and he looks sluggish. It is estimated that the steal just now was just luck."

"Well, it must be so."

"It's a pity, the difference is only 1 point left, and now it becomes 6 points."

Although he was very unhappy with Xiaoka, no one cared about him too much. After all, Xiaoka only played for one minute in this quarter, and there was nothing outstanding except for the steal.

Some fans don't even know such a No. 1 person at all, and they only pay attention to a few draft favorites, such as Irving, when they pay attention to the draft.

Except for the fans of the 76ers, other people are not so interested in Xiaoka's unexpected rookie in the lottery, and they will not pay attention.

......

The second half started quickly.

Both sides sent the main lineup, and the Blazers showed a fierce performance as soon as they came up, and they were bound to catch up with the score and overtake the score.

It's just that Aldridge's feel has declined at this time, and he failed to make the first shot in the second half. As his feel declined and his deterrence weakened, the Trail Blazers' entire offense was affected.

Meanwhile, the 76ers seized the opportunity and began to expand.

"Pick-and-roll."

Qin Hao asked for a pick-and-roll, then broke through, rushed to the inside line, and was about to hit Aldridge. He suddenly used a European step. Aldridge was taken aback. He wanted to chase him, but he ended up hitting Qin Hao.

beep!

When the whistle blew, the referee pointed at Aldridge and gave him a foul.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have played harder." Aldridge smiled bitterly. He failed to prevent the ball, and even lost a foul, so he had to watch Qin Hao walk to the free throw line.

Swish!

Qin Hao added a penalty hit, and the point difference further widened.

With this 2+1 score, the difference between the two sides has become 10 points. The Blazers coach couldn't hold back, and called a timeout with a black face.

Several players came to the sidelines, their faces were not good-looking, and they dared not look at the head coach. The coach asked them to catch up with the score and overtake the score, but the result was even bigger.

"DeMarcus." The Blazers coach looked at Aldridge and felt that he had to start from this point. "You are the star of the team. In this situation, you have to stand up. Play hard. , show your strength, just like the second quarter."

"Well, I will do my best." Aldridge nodded heavily.

As for the tactics, the Blazers coach didn't change either. He just played the way he did in the second quarter. He played well in the few minutes of the second quarter, and the effect was remarkable.

As long as Aldridge can keep playing well.

Here's the 76ers.

Qin Hao stood beside Coach Luke and whispered, "Let Leonard come on later, and let him continue to help defend Aldridge."

"Huh?" Coach Luke raised his brows and then agreed, "Okay, let him help defend Aldridge later. Now we are ten points ahead, the only trouble is Aldridge, as long as we defend Aldridge well, It's not that easy for the opponent to catch up."

This is also Qin Hao's idea, and the two coincide.

After a while, the pause ends.

Xiaoka got the last time again, and both Briggins and Lavoy's eyes were red when they saw it.

Lavoy touched Brackins and whispered, "Did you see it? Qin and the coach were whispering something just now, and then Leonard was sent in again."

"It's up to you to say, I can't see it." Blkins said helplessly: "Who made Qin like others, what can be done."

Lavoy's eyes wandered, and he said no, he still had to think of a way.

on the field.

The game continued, and both players returned to the court.

The Blazers attacked, Felton advanced with the ball, and when he came to the frontcourt, he found an opportunity to pass the ball to Aldridge and let Aldridge play singles.

Aldridge took a deep breath and was just about to play singles when he suddenly saw Leonard standing not far away, looking at him blankly, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Hmph, the previous steal was just luck." Aldridge snorted coldly and swayed. Seeing that Nene was not fooled, he turned around halfway and changed to post-up singles.

After taking two steps back, a figure suddenly flashed, and a hand suddenly came over. Aldridge's heart skipped a beat, he quickly hugged the basketball, and looked at it in surprise.

"It's you again." Aldridge looked at Xiaoka, very unhappy.

The ball was stopped at this time, and Aldridge could only pass the ball to the outside for a turn, and then took the ball again, but soon Leonard's help defense came again.

It's just haunting.

Aldridge was annoyed and simply forced his shot, but Nene didn't eat dry food, so he jumped up quickly, stretched his arms, and covered Aldridge's sight.

boom!

The ball didn't go in.

"Damn." Aldridge cursed angrily.

However, the Blazers head coach on the sidelines was staring at Xiaoka, a little surprised. The second quarter was too short before, and he hadn't seen it yet.

This time he could see it in defense. Xiaoka's assist defense was excellent, and the timing was very good. It was just when Aldridge was laying the groundwork and was ready to make a shot.

It is precisely because of the right timing that he was able to find a balance between helping defend Aldridge and defending Wallace on the perimeter, so that he would not miss Wallace because of helping defend Aldridge.

The next few rounds further verified his judgment. Leonard defended very well. Although he could not have the opportunity to steal again, it made Aldridge very uncomfortable.

In this case, Aldridge's offensive efficiency naturally couldn't be high, which also affected the entire team. Until eight minutes passed in the third quarter, the Trail Blazers were still 11 points behind.

"How did the 76ers get their shit out of luck?" The Blazers head coach looked at Leonard with a bit of soreness in his heart, called another timeout and started making substitutions.

This section looks like there is no chance to catch up with the score, so I have to put my hope in the fourth quarter.

Qin Hao grabbed Xiaoka's shoulders and praised him without hesitation. Although Xiaoka did not contribute much on the offensive end in this quarter, he only scored 2 points. Counting the first half, he has only scored 6 points in total so far. 4 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 assist, the data is very inconspicuous, but there are many things that the data can't reflect.
