Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"It's so easy."

"I haven't done anything yet. The Magic would not work without Howard."

"It's exactly the same as training, oh no, it's not as strong as we usually train to play in team rivalries. It's really meaningless."

Although it only won a dozen points, it was because the coach had signaled the players to release the water and only rehearsing the tactics. Otherwise, it would not be impossible to win a dozen points and 30 points.

After the game, the players all felt too relaxed and a little floaty.

Coach Luke deliberately raised his face and reprimanded: "It's just a win in a preseason game. Who will play a preseason game seriously? What's so happy about."

Everyone suddenly put away their smiles.

In fact, for the players’ performance today, Coach Luke is still very satisfied. Qin Hao and Butler’s cooperation in the main lineup complements each other. There is no need to run-in. Although Sessions is still a bit unwilling to let go of the bench lineup, he only needs Well organized is actually enough.

In addition, the performance of Xiaoka and Lu Wei is remarkable.

Especially small cards.

Today, Xiaoka played for 24 minutes, scored 11 points, plus 4 rebounds and 2 assists. The stats are not too good, but he only took 7 shots and made 5 of 7 shots. One of them was a three-pointer, which was very efficient. high.

And, on the defensive end, he is still outstanding, contributing 3 steals in 24 minutes of playing time, one more than his assists.

If not for the current starting lineup is very good, coach Luke would not bear to let Kaka continue to play on the bench, feeling a bit awkward.

This game did not cause much volatility. After all, the 76ers only won a dozen points. What's more, it was the preseason. The media and fans paid attention to the gathering of Qin Hao and Butler's brothers.

Qin Hao scored 18 points, plus 3 rebounds and 7 assists. Butler scored 19 points, plus 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Both of them didn't play very long time. In addition, they were designed to practice tactics, and the statistics were not particularly high. .

It was the cooperation between the two, especially the "air-receiving windmill slam dunk", which shocked the fans and became the focus of discussion.

......

A day later, the 76ers returned to the home court, ushering in the Nets' challenge.

Compared with the Magic, the Nets have a more stable lineup and stronger strength, but there is still no suspense against the 76ers. Only halftime accepted, the 76ers have led by 16 points.

The rest is to practice tactics.

This was a preseason game, and the Nets didn't take it too seriously. Both sides were reduced to training in the second half. Qin Hao and Butler didn't play after three quarters, and Iverson didn't play two consecutive games for a minute.

After all, as a veteran, the preseason is meaningless.

In the end, the 76ers defeated the Nets by 11 points. They won two consecutive preseason games. Among them, Lu Wei scored the highest score. The audience scored 24 points, Qin Hao 15 points, Butler 13 points, and the small card 9 points. Points, Nene 13 points, Sessions 8 points...

On October 16, the 76ers played against the Celtics at home.

On October 18th, the 76ers played against the Cavaliers.

On October 20th, the 76ers went away to the Nets again...

Five preseason games, one game every other day, both home and guest, and the 76ers have achieved a record of five wins, almost every win is relatively easy.

After a few games, the 76ers mainly practiced soldiers, checked the lineup, and practiced tactics. Coach Luke was very satisfied with the effect, and the team lineup was almost fixed.

Nene, Speights, Butler, Iguodala, Qin Hao, this is the 76ers' current starting lineup, and will also be their regular starting this season.

In addition, coach Luke gave a pure bench lineup, Mozkov, Thaddeus-Young, Leonard, Lu Wei, Sessions.

Of course, in the preseason, after the regular season, a pure substitute lineup is often not used. After all, there are many outstanding players in the team nowadays, and several starting players will not go up and down together.

For example, Qin Hao and Butler can play together, but sometimes they can also be separated, allowing Butler or Qin Hao to play with the bench lineup to further enhance the competitiveness of the bench lineup.

Last year, the 76ers played the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the Heat is always keeping at least one giant on the court in order to enhance the competitiveness of the bench lineup.

Coach Luke looked at the players under him, and he was very proud for a moment: "Although we don't have the Big Three, but in terms of lineup configuration and bench depth, it may not be worse than the Heat."

Playing the Heat last season, because the opponent has the Big Three, the 76ers suffered a lot.

Sometimes, Qin Hao had to play for a long time, playing with a substitute lineup.

And now, coach Luke believes that even if it is just a pure bench lineup, against the bench lineup led by the Heat's single giant, it may not be a disadvantage.

The Big Three have the advantages of the Big Three, but there are also disadvantages. The salary is too high, the team's salary is locked, and there is not enough money to promote the role players and substitute the lineup.

The 76ers are all rookie contracts because Qin Hao, Butler, etc., and Lu Wei, Nene, Speights, Iguodala, etc. are only middle-class contracts, so the salary is sufficient to have such a bench. depth.

.......

After five consecutive victories, the 76ers ushered in the last three preseason games, opponents were the Celtics, Knicks, Timberwolves.

I have played against the Celtics before. This season, the Celtics' lineup has also undergone some changes. Three-point marksman Ray Allen left the Celtics, joined the Heat and embraced the Big Three. In addition, players such as Garnett and Pierce have become older, and their competitive status has also begun to decline.

This led to the decline of the Celtics' strength. They couldn't take advantage of the 76ers last season, and this season they are not the opponents of the 76ers.

The Sixers still won the preseason easily.

Qin Hao scored 14 points and Butler scored 12 points. The scores of others are also scattered. Anyway, no one pays attention to the preseason data. They are not counted.

Later, against the Knicks and against the Timberwolves, the 76ers won the game, and they played a little bit more anxiously with the Knicks, winning only 7 points.

In these two games, Qin Hao and Butler didn’t have a lot of playing time. Throughout the preseason, Qin Hao averaged only 16.5 points per game and Butler averaged 14.0 points per game. The team with the most points was Lu Wei, who averaged per game. 17.0 points...

At this point, the 76ers' preseason games are all over, a total of eight games, the 76ers won eight consecutive victories, sweeping opponents like a broken bamboo.

"The preseason is over."

"The regular season is finally coming, the new season, a new start, I can't wait!"

When the last preseason game is over, the excitement in the eyes of the players really burns. The preseason game is just training, and the regular season is the real journey...
