Basketball Myth: Super Guard

At almost the same moment, the three coaches and three players of the 76ers each had their own goals in the next month or so.

From the second day of training, Coach Luke made some changes and added some tactics.

The 76ers used to play the "big one and four small" only as an auxiliary lineup. The tactics were relatively simple and not many. Now it has increased a lot and has become more complicated. It also has a focus on the loss of the team's outside touch. Or the coping strategy when the inside line is at a serious disadvantage.

At the same time, coach Luke further emphasized defense.

The richness of tactics itself is to improve and enhance the offense, so he does not need to emphasize further.

On the contrary, it is defense, which needs to be repeatedly emphasized by him, so that the players will not slack off, or focus on offense, enjoy the pleasure of scoring, but ignore the defense.

"Qin." Finally, Coach Luke stopped Qin Hao and said solemnly: "We have to balance offense and defense. You have to control the rhythm, understand?"

"Understand." Qin Hao nodded.

As the leader of the team and the core guard, Qin Hao is equivalent to the brain of the team. He controls the rhythm, balances offense and defense, and falls on him.

In this regard, Qin Hao was mentally prepared. Although he felt the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier, he looked at the teammates around Butler, Xiaoka, Iguodala, Nene, Lu Wei, etc., and he smiled again. With so many good brothers, I'm afraid of a ball.

In the following two days, the training intensity of the 76ers increased a lot. One is to familiarize themselves with some new tactics as soon as possible, and the other is to improve the player’s understanding and give the players a sense of urgency. After all, the playoffs are coming soon. coming.

......

In a blink of an eye, February ended and entered March.

Entering March, it means that there is only more than one month left in the regular season schedule, and there is a tense atmosphere in the league.

Some strong teams, such as the Thunder, Spurs, and Clippers in the West, and the Heat, Bulls, Knicks, and 76ers in the East, are actively preparing for the playoffs.

For some mid-range teams, such as the Warriors, Jazz, and Mavericks in the West, the Lakers have a poor record this season. They are now ranked eighth in the West. Whether they can enter the playoffs is still unknown. The next month or so will be a challenge for them. test.

There are also the Celtics, Bucks, Raptors and other teams in the Eastern Conference, all of which are in the eighth place and the outcome is undecided.

In the end, who can enter the top eight and get the playoff tickets depends on the last month's sprint.

On March 2, the 76ers sat at home and greeted the Warriors' challenge.

The Warriors are now seventh in the Western Conference, and there is still a lot of hope for the playoffs, but they are not safe, so they must fight for every victory.

Before the game started, Qin Hao hugged Curry and Klay one by one. Butler, Xiaoka, Lu Wei and others also hugged the two friends and had a few laughs.

After saying hello, both hands became serious.

After some warm-up, the game started soon.

Before going on the field, Coach Luke stopped everyone and said: "Follow our tactics, remember that we must not only play well offensively, but also play well defensively."

Everyone promised.

Coach Luke did not make any targeted arrangements, such as catching Curry and playing alone, because Curry is a defensive weakness in the Warriors system.

This is because Qin Hao had talked with Coach Luke before, and the two people had the same views. In the next more than a month, they will not pursue a record, but will only improve their strength, improve the players' personal abilities, and enhance the overall ability of the team..... So for the 76ers, it's more like training.

Of course, the Warriors didn't know this.

At this moment, everyone in the Warriors, from coach to player, is very serious, with solemn expressions, because the opponent is the 76ers, No. 1 in the East.

"Let me talk..." the coach said: "Our advantage is the inside line. We must protect our rebounds and play more positional warfare. There is also anti-three-pointer, as long as we don't let the opponent make a three-pointer. , We fight steadily, no problem."

Everyone nodded their promises.

Curry frowned. The coach's strategy is okay, but he can't make a three-pointer even if he is completely playing positional battles.

Two teams surprised the league this season.

One is the 76ers. No one expected that they would have become the number one in the Eastern Conference and have been sitting on the first place in the Eastern Conference. In terms of record, the Thunder can compare with it.

The other is the Warriors.

Originally, people were not optimistic about the Warriors without Monta Ellis, but unexpectedly, without Monta Ellis, they played better and made it into the top eight of the Western Conference, even though they were not ranked high. , But at least there is hope of hitting the playoffs.

Another point is that the 76ers and the Warriors are the two teams with the most three-pointers in the league, which can even be said to be crazy.

For the 76ers, Qin Hao averaged more than ten three-pointers per game some time ago, throwing more than a dozen three-pointers in a game, and the people who watched them trembled.

For the Warriors, Curry averaged 8.5 three-pointers per game this season. Except for Qin Hao, he ranked second in the league in three-pointers per game.

The key is that the two of them not only throw a lot of three-pointers, they are also very accurate. Qin Hao averaged 39.2% of the three-pointers, and Curry even reached 42.0%, which shocked everyone. It turns out that three-pointers can still be played. , Can also shoot a two-pointer from a three-pointer.

So today's game is seen by many as a three-point battle.

Only when the game started, the fans were depressed that both defenses were aimed at the three-point line. The Warriors did not want the 76ers to shoot three-pointers, and the 76ers did the same.

As a result, the fans were depressed.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Bogut shot the ball.

This ball had a good chance, but the 76ers' defense was too fast, and someone immediately jumped over and interfered with his shot.

At the basket, David Lee jumped up, trying to grab the rebound, but unexpectedly grabbed a hand on his head and took the basketball away.

David Lee turned his head to look and couldn't help cursing inwardly: "It's this guy again."

This person is Kaka. He has already grabbed the rebounds that David Lee thought was steady. With his long arms and big hands, Kaka is also a good rebounder. What's more, although David Lee is playing a power forward, he is actually only 206 cm tall, not much taller than Xiaoka.

"Go!"

Qin Hao shouted and rushed to the front.

After catching the rebound, Kaka took a few steps forward, and then a long pass was given to Butler, who had already reached the front court. Butler immediately transferred the ball and gave it to Qin Hao.

Huh!

Qin Hao took the knife up and down, hitting a three-pointer.

This counterattack was too fast. Even though Curry had tried to catch up, he couldn't stop him in the end. He looked at Qin Hao, recalling the counterattack just now, and shook his head helplessly: "If only we could fight like this, it would be fine. ."
