Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"Yao Ming played really well today."

"Yeah, he was unstoppable today. He had already scored 25 points at the end of halftime. If it weren't for him, he might not be behind only 8 points, but 18 points."

"It's a pity that Harden really didn't play very well today. In the face of Qin, he obviously couldn't do well, otherwise..."

In the audience, the fans were discussing.

By this time the first half was over, and the 76ers led by 8 points.

The original score difference was a dozen points, and even led by as much as 17 points, but now it turned into eight points, mainly because of Yao Ming, he played very well today, outside shooting, low offensive, free throws, the hand feels fiery. It's a mess.

Although the 76ers are still leading by 8 points at this time, the coaching staff are all having a headache.

"Coach." Assistant Harry said: "In the second half, we must find a way to prevent Yao Ming from scoring like this."

"But, no one of us can fight Yao Ming in the 5th position." Assistant Cox frowned, a little helpless, "and Nene has fouled 3 times."

Coach Luke was thinking, thinking more than Harry.

Today’s game made Coach Luke realize that compared to the outside Qin Hao + Iguodala + Butler combination, as well as the bench lineup composed of Lu Wei, Xiaoka, Sessions, etc., Nene + Speights On the contrary, the combination of insiders has become a disadvantage.

Of course, this is relative. In fact, the combination of Nene + Speights has performed well against many teams, and both of them have good strengths.

But when faced with a team like the Rockets and a center like Yao Ming, obviously the 76ers are not strong enough inside.

What about the future?

If we meet this kind of team again, meet an All-Star-level inside team, how should we deal with it?

Like... Spurs.

Coach Luke suddenly remembered that they played against the Spurs twice this season, and they lost to the other side, lost to the Spurs' rigorous system, and also lost to the inside.

"Yes." Coach Luke finally said, "We must have a way to deal with it."

......

The second half started soon.

The two sides returned to the court, the Rockets are still their starting lineup, and the 76ers coach Luke made some adjustments, instead of playing Speights, but playing Mozkov.

It is equivalent to sending out Mozkov + Nene to form a "twin tower" just like the period after the second quarter.

In the previous second quarter, because Nene had a third foul early, the "Twin Towers" was replaced shortly after they were sent, but they failed to play a role.

Coach Luke wants to try again now.

On the court.

Qin Hao used the pick and roll to make a breakthrough and gave Butler the ball. Butler quickly transferred the ball to Iguodala and Iguodala made a jumper.

The Rockets offense.

Harden came to the frontcourt and first asked for a pick-and-roll. It looked like he was going to cooperate with Yao Ming, but instead of passing it back to Yao Ming, he scored the ball to the right corner outside the three-point line and gave it to Parson. In his hand, Parsons made a three-pointer to catch the ball.

Also in.

"It seems that the Rockets have also made some adjustments. They know that it is impossible to beat us by Ming brother, and more people must stand up." Qin Hao knew clearly, greeted his teammates and launched a counterattack.

boom!

This time the 76ers failed to score. The Rockets attacked and the ball was given to Yao Ming. Mozkov quickly rushed forward and Nene stared at Yao Ming.

But seeing that Yao Ming is not a back single, but a face frame, first he lifted the ball and did something to make a shot. Mozkov subconsciously stood on tiptoe and wanted to block the shot, but Yao Ming speeded up to get rid of it, and Nene hurriedly jumped on it. , And collided with Yao Ming.

beep!

The referee blew his whistle and gave Nene a foul.

"What, f..." Nai Nei was stunned, almost violent.

Is there any mistake? How long has it been playing, less than two minutes, and gave me another foul?

Coach Luke sighed helplessly. Nene was a dozen centimeters shorter than Yao Ming. To prevent him, he had to jump. After all, he was close to the basket. If he didn't jump, he would score Yao Ming. But once he jumps up, he will easily be fouled.

"Four times." Coach Luke hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, did not replace Nene, let him continue playing.

There have been 4 fouls within this moment.

It's just that he didn't play a big role on the court. Coach Luke simply didn't bother to replace him, so let him continue playing.

Of course, coach Luke still greeted the court and asked Nene to pay attention to his control movements. He will definitely be targeted by others later. He is not smarter and might have to commit a fifth foul after a while.

Today, Nene is depressed, but there is no way. At this moment, he has four fouls on his back and has to converge, and he can only hold back in depression.

In this way, Scola got the bargain.

At this time, Mozkov is facing Yao Ming, and Nene is facing Scola. Originally, Scola did not perform much today, so far he has only scored a few points. But at this moment there were too many fouls inside, and he had to converge, which gave Scola a chance.

I saw Harden break the score and give it to Scola. Scola took the ball and dribbled to the basket and jumped up to meet Nene.

If it were changed to other times, Scola, a veteran in his 30s, would make such a move in front of him, and Nene would be a big hat.

But now he can only raise his hands and dare not make extra moves.

Huh!

Scola scored the ball.

In the next few rounds, Nene paid attention to the convergent action, but the Rockets would not let go of this opportunity. They all went inside and wanted to commit his fouls.

Once or twice, it was okay, and after three or four times, Nene couldn't help it.

Snapped!

beep!

As a result, he was called a foul by the referee just as he started. Nene was almost crying and shouted at the referee: "I really didn't foul the ball. I didn't touch the opponent's hand at all."

This time Nene was really wronged, but who made this the Rockets' home court? It's not uncommon to have a home whistle.

5 fouls!

"Hey..." Coach Luke shook his head, called a timeout, replaced Nene and replaced Speights, but the effect was still not good.

Unknowingly, the third quarter was already halfway through. Due to troubles inside, the 76ers still maintained the lead at this time, but the point difference has been reduced to 3 points.

The two sides began to change into the rotation lineup, the 76ers still have an advantage in the rotation lineup, and gradually gained the upper hand.

But Coach Luke's face was not at all relaxed.

Nene has fouled 5 times, Speights 3 times, and Mozkov 3 times. Several insiders fouled a lot, and Yao Ming could not be prevented. The insiders will definitely suffer a loss in the fourth quarter.

"No, you have to think of something else." Coach Luke spread out the tactical board, picked up the pen to write on it, and then stopped for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "I can only try."
