Basketball Myth: Super Guard

After the game with the Warriors, the 76ers finally had a chance to breathe. After two days of rest, they rushed to the next away game to challenge the Hornets.

For the 76ers, the game wasn't too stressful.

If it is the previous Hornets, you may still need to worry. After all, the other side has superstar Chris Paul, and the strength is still very strong, and they have experienced consecutive away games. However, the current Hornets lack Paul and David West, and have entered the reconstruction stage. They have a lot of young players and draft picks in their hands, but their strength is much weaker than before.

This is the last game of the 76ers' back-to-back road trip, and the players want to resolve the fight early so they can get home, so the 76ers have played aggressively from the beginning.

Seeing that everyone was so fierce, Qin Hao was very happy, and he simply stole a while to be lazy, mainly passing the ball to his teammates and creating opportunities for them, but he didn't take much shots.

This depressed the Hornets.

Originally, they planned to focus their defense on Qin Hao, thinking that by limiting Qin Hao, they would be able to limit the 76ers.

As a result, Qin Hao didn't make many shots. On the contrary, the other players of the 76ers played extremely sharply. After only a few minutes of playing in the first quarter, the 76ers had already widened the point difference to double digits.

"This is so...I miss Paul."

"Me too."

In the audience, the Hornets fans were very depressed. The difference was in double digits in just a few minutes. What's the point of playing like this, I'm afraid it will be over in three quarters.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The difference in the three quarters reached 17 points. The game has lost its suspense. The last quarter became garbage time. Coach Luke directly replaced Qin Hao, Nene, Iverson and other main players. , replaced by the bench.

The last quarter was uneventful, the Hornets narrowed the score a little, but nothing substantive changed, and finally the game ended, the score was 120:105, the 76ers won.

Qin Hao didn't make many shots. He made 5 of 8 shots, including two three-pointers and two free throws, and scored 14 points, plus 6 rebounds, and 13 assists.

At the end of the game, the players relaxed, and they won all 5 away games. With a 5-game winning streak, they can finally go home.

......

Detroit.

A game is going on, Pistons vs. Hawks.

The Pistons had played five games before this game, and the result was 1 win and 4 losses, which disappointed many Pistons fans.

The game is already in the third quarter, and the Pistons are down by 8 points. The situation is very unfavorable for them. If they lose this game, their record will get worse.

"Ball." Stuckey ran back to get the ball, and then it was a three-point shot. As a result, with a "bang", the basketball bounced into the frame and failed to hit.

Stuckey scolded secretly, seeing that Horford of the Eagles got the rebound, he could only reluctantly run to his own half and start to retreat.

Several Pistons players on the field were Villanueva, Jerebko, Prince, Stuckey, and Ben Gordon. Butler sat on the bench and kept watching the time.

Butler is still on the bench this season.

Although Butler's strength has improved a lot in the past six months, in the team's confrontation, he has performed well more than once, even with a group of substitute players and Prince, Stuckey, Gordon. The team composed of several starters played evenly and did not fall behind.

On the defensive end, he played the role of the vanguard, defending Prince, defending Stuckey, and sometimes defending insiders like Villanueva, all of which did a good job.

It's just... a substitute.

This is obviously a bit unreasonable, but the reason given by the coach is - the team needs you to be a substitute, lad, congratulations, now you are the sixth man of the team, lead the bench well.

So Butler was not assigned at the beginning of the second half. He counted the time. Halfway through the third quarter, it was almost time for a substitution.

"Pick-and-roll."

On the court, Teague took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt for a pick-and-roll.

At this time, the Hawks had five players on the field: Horford, Smith, Marvin Williams, Joe Johnson, and Teague. The lineup was much stronger than the Hawks.

After a pick-and-roll, Teague broke through, hit the basket, attracted the defense and then scored the ball to the right, giving it to Johnson. Johnson took the ball and made a jumper.

Swish!

The ball went in and the difference became 10 points.

The point difference had turned into double digits, and the Pistons coach had to call a timeout. He glanced at the bench and shouted, "Jimmy, wait for you to come on."

"Yes." Butler replied, his eyes lit up.

Sitting on the sidelines the whole time, he couldn't wait.

Then the head coach of the Pistons rearranged the tactics and carried out personnel rotations. In addition to replacing Butler, he also replaced guard Brandon Knight and forward Ben Wallace, among them Brandon - Wright is still this year's rookie, the eighth overall first round was selected by the Pistons.

Pause ends soon.

Players from both sides returned to the court, and the Eagles also changed people. They held a great lead and were very calm. Several players looked at Butler and others with contempt.

Pistons offense.

Wright advanced with the ball and asked for two pick-and-rolls when he got to the frontcourt. Just as he was about to play himself, he saw Butler running back and asking for the ball. He passed the ball, then ran and pulled people away.

Opposite Butler was Josh Smith, who stood a little inside the 3-point line with his hands outstretched, his eyes fixed on Butler's shoulder.

laugh!

With a light sound, Butler started and made a breakthrough from the right side. Smith quickly traversed and took the lead, but Butler immediately took a step back, his body froze, and his center of gravity rose. Smith thought he was going to shoot, and subconsciously raised his center of gravity, He stood on tiptoe trying to jump up and seal the shot.

However, the next moment, Butler lowered his center of gravity, suddenly changed direction, and broke through from the left instead. With one acceleration, he rushed past Smith, quickly hugged the ball, and took three steps to rush into the inside.

On the inside of the Eagles stood power forward Radmanovic, who was 208 centimeters tall. He bent over and jumped up quickly when he saw Butler rushing in, raising his hands high, ready to block Butler.

boom!

There was a muffled sound, and the two collided.

Radmanovic only felt a pain in his chest, and he couldn't help screaming badly. A strong force hit him, and he was knocked flying, and his raised arm became a display. Looking at Butler again, he can still maintain his balance, stretch his body in the air, hold the basketball in his right hand, and throw it with one hand.

Swish!

With a bang, the ball went in.

"nice shot."

"It's a tough shot, it's beautiful."

In the audience, the Pistons fans stood up excitedly and shouted excitedly, they needed such a goal so much.
