Basketball Myth: Super Guard

When the third quarter ended, the 76ers led by 5 points.

This point difference is not large, and when entering the fourth quarter, Mozkov quickly got another foul. At this time, even if Yao Ming was not on the court, the 76ers' inside team was still in trouble.

After all, the 76ers were suppressed inside today and were troubled by fouls. Although the Rockets do not have Yao Ming and Scola at this time, Morris and Patterson are not bad.

For a time, the point difference between the two sides not only failed to widen, but narrowed a little bit. Fortunately, Kaka still performed well. First he attacked the inside line and caused the opponent to foul, hit the free throw line and made two free throws, and then went to singles and hit a jumper.

After more than three minutes, the 76ers still maintained the lead, but the point difference was only 2 points left.

Coach Luke began to change players. First, Butler was replaced. After more than a minute, he called a timeout and changed again: "Qin, Iguodala, Speights, the three of you are on. Lun. Nader, Butler, you continue to stay on the court."

"Um?"

Everyone couldn't help but stunned.

There was no such arrangement before. In the past, Qin Hao, Iguodala, Butler, and Leonard were three of them, and the other was resting.

But now, Coach Luke sent the four of them together.

Big and four small?

It doesn't seem to be the same, because the four partners with Qin Hao are not Nene, nor Mozkov, but Speights, who is 208 cm tall.

"Okay." Coach Luke didn't explain much, spreading out the tactics board, drawing tactics while laying out: "Our inside line has no way to reverse, so our focus is on the outside line. Qin, control the rhythm, we have to Speed ​​up and fight back more."

"As for the rebounds, each of you has to fight for the rebounds and push back immediately after getting the rebounds, understand?"

Several people looked at each other and nodded together: "Understood."

In fact, Butler, Xiaoka, Iguodala, and Speights are not very clear. They can understand the meaning of coach Luke, but they are not familiar with this style of play.

It's not that the 76ers have never played the "big and four small", they played last season, but now this is obviously not the "big and four small" of the regular season.

Of course, Qin Hao really understood.

Isn't this similar to how the Warriors will play a few years later? The sharp counterattack, crazy three-pointers, and fast running can be said to be a "three-point enhanced version of running and bombing."

Now switching to the 76ers to play, Qin Hao doesn’t think there is anything wrong with him. He, as well as Iguodala, Butler, Kaka, and even Speights can shoot three-pointers. Outside of Bates, all four of his own can handle the ball, can attack with the ball, and are fully equipped to play a small lineup.

Seeing a few people walking onto the court, Coach Luke exhaled, still a little nervous.

Qin Hao, Iguodala, Butler, and Iguodala. This is the first time he has used this lineup. The reason why he didn’t try it before was mainly because of the overlap of the players. Xiaoka, Butler and even Iguodala sometimes It's also in the 3rd position. How should I play when we all get together?

This is too different.

As for not sending Nene or Mozkov, but Speights, one is because Nene carried 5 fouls and Mozkov had 4 fouls, both of them were choking. The second is because once the height rises, it means that the speed of movement becomes slower.

What Coach Luke wants is fast, fast break and fast defense. The sooner the better, the height of the inside line is not so important.

"Huh, what's the matter with the 76ers?"

"What kind of situation is this? Qin, Iguodala, Leonard, Butler, plus Speights, there is only one inside line, the others are all outside lines, are they big and four small?"

"Farts are four kids, although Qin and Iguodala are both outside players, but where are they younger? Butler is 201cm tall, Leonard is also 201cm, and Qin and Iguodala are also 198cm. Although compared to The inside players are shorter, but they are not so small."

Seeing the 76ers this lineup, the fans are a little confused. One inside line, plus four outside lines about two meters tall, what's the situation?

Not only the fans, but the Rockets are also a little confused.

A group of players frowned, looking at the 76ers lineup, scratching their heads. If that's the case, how do you defend it?

Coach McHale is also frowning. From his perspective, it is natural to see that the 76ers want to play fast. If the inside is not dominant, the positional battle will be disadvantaged, so they plan to play fast to avoid being caught in a positional battle. It's also a good idea.

It's just...Qin, Iguodala, Butler, Leonard, these four people together, it feels weird.

"Harden, pay attention to control the rhythm." Coach McHale hurriedly shouted at the players on the court: "Don't follow the opponent's rhythm. Play according to ours. Slow down and be patient."

"Yes."

"clear."

Several people responded.

The 76ers attacked. Qin Hao advanced with the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, he called for a pick-and-roll, broke the ball and passed it to Butler. Butler also broke the ball and passed to Iguodala. Iguodala got the ball. Then he made a shooting fake to attract the defense, and then passed it to Kaka.

At this time, people realized that almost all five players on the offensive 76ers were standing outside the three-point line, as if giving up the inside line.

But the advantage of this is that after a few sudden points, the Rockets' personnel have shrunk within the three-point line, and the small card has an open opportunity.

Huh!

With a soft sound, Kay made a three-pointer.

The Rockets counterattacked. Harden made a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming after reaching the frontcourt. After the breakthrough, he passed the ball back to Yao Ming. Yao Ming overstepped it and gave Courtney to Courtney. Courtney broke the ball...

Compared with the 76ers' rapid scoring, the last three-point shot, the basketball stays in one person's hand for no more than three or three seconds, the Rockets' offense will have to be more patient.

In the end, the left side was emptied and the ball was given to Yao Ming in the low post. It was Iguodala who was defending him. Yao Ming made a jump shot without any extra effort.

This height difference is too much.

Huh!

The ball is scored.

However, the ball has just been scored here, and the bottom line has already delivered the ball to Qin Hao. Qin Hao immediately counterattacked with the ball, without waiting for Speights.

At the same time, Butler, Iguodala, and Xiaoka rushed to the field first, and when Qin Hao passed the center line, all three of them had already settled outside the three-point line.

Qin Hao passed the ball to Iguodala. Iguodala broke through with the ball, then divided the ball and passed it to Ka, who passed it to Butler, and Qin Hao ran to Butler, the two of them Moving across, Butler passed the ball hand-in-hand to Qin Hao's hand, and turned sideways to cover for Qin Hao.

There was no pause at all in this series of passes and moves. The fans were dazzled, and the Rockets players were a little dizzy.

When I saw Qin Hao taking the ball, there was no one in front of him before he suddenly reacted.

But it was too late.
