Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Both sides changed to the bench, Butler remained on the court.

At this time the 76ers still have the upper hand, because after Butler's return, not only the main lineup has changed, but also the bench lineup.

Previously, most of the cards played with the bench, but now it has become Butler with the bench, and Speights has returned to the bench.

Mozkov, Speights, Butler, Lu Wei, Sessions, this lineup is obviously better than the Spurs' bench lineup.

When the first quarter ended, the 76ers led by 7 points.

This made the Spurs fans a little confused. The changes in the score made them unacceptable. They were still 6 points ahead before. Why are they behind by 7 points now?

After a while, the second quarter began.

The two sides are still the rotation lineup. Among the Spurs' rotation lineup, Ginobili is undoubtedly the biggest backing. He has also been playing very well. He was the first to score points and hit a jumper after a breakthrough.

But when he turned around, the 76ers immediately returned the color. Butler broke the ball and passed it to Lu Wei. Lu Wei made a three-pointer and opened the point difference.

In the next three minutes, you come and go, although Ginobili's performance is still outstanding, but the Spurs can only bite the score.

Then coach Luke replaced Butler, replaced the small card, let the small card play with the bench, Butler came down to rest.

This is another benefit after Butler's return.

There are more players who can be on his own, and coach Luke has more choices in the formation of troops. Kaka and Butler can rotate for this purpose, and sometimes even Butler and Kaka can be placed on the bench together. In the lineup, or simply put Qin Hao and Xiaoka on the bench...

This is similar to the Heat. They have the Big Three. During the rotation, one giant can play with them, or even two giants.

This is why the Heat are clearly not good off the bench, but they can still compete with other teams.

Of course, today's Butler and Kaka have not reached the heights of Wade and Bosh, but the other bench players of the 76ers are much better than the Heat.

......

More than five minutes have passed since the second quarter in a blink of an eye.

At this time coach Luke changed the main lineup one after another.

On the Spurs side, Popovich also changed the main lineup. He didn't have a good way to deal with the 76ers' "big and four small", he could only tell the players to retreat quickly. Set up a defensive formation in advance to prevent the opponent from easily shooting three-pointers.

But this effect is not good.

The Sixers' "big and four small" can be said to be both offensive and defensive. Although there is still a slight disadvantage in terms of height on the inside, after all, the Spurs have Duncan inside, but the 76ers on the outside can completely suppress the Spurs.

Although Duncan can defend, it is difficult to prevent outside the three-point line, and today the 76ers feel very good on the outside.

The main player fired outside the three-point line as soon as he came up.

First, Qin Hao made a super-long three-pointer himself and made a steady hit. Then Butler, Kaka, and Iguodala also fired one after another.

For a while, the Spurs fell into a very passive situation. Once they couldn't prevent the 76ers from making a three-pointer, it would be difficult for them to catch up with the score.

"This is troublesome, I can't prevent the opponent's attack!"

"It's not just that we can't prevent the 76ers' offense. Our own offense has also encountered trouble. The opponent's defense is really too fast."

"The 76ers also have a strong individual defensive ability. Just now there was a ball that Duncan played Butler in the low post. He had a good chance, but he failed to score. And Parker, he played well in the previous two games. , But so far today I haven’t scored much at all."

"In the previous two games, Parker could use the pick-and-roll to get rid of Qin’s defense and then look for opportunities for dislocation. But now with the 76ers, he can’t find a chance to dislocate, because no matter how he uses the pick-and-roll to switch defenses, he has to face it. All players are about two meters tall, with speed, body, and defensive awareness. It is too difficult to score."

In the auditorium, home fans are discussing.

At this moment, their faces are not good, because they have already felt that the Spurs have no good way to deal with the 76ers, which is a complete "big and four small".

Whether it is the main force or the bench lineup, it seems that they can't take advantage of it.

......

At the end of the first half in a blink of an eye, the 76ers had a 13-point lead.

This makes it difficult for the home fans to accept. No matter who is in the lead in the previous four games, it is difficult for both sides to open the difference to more than 10 points.

Even in the two games the Spurs lost, the audience kept biting the score, and the point difference always hovered around a few points.

But today, at the end of halftime, the points difference was stretched to more than ten.

what does this mean?

This means that the Spurs have lost control of the game. Like the previous four games, they controlled the game to a controllable level, kept the point difference in single digits, and always retained the chance of a comeback. But today Did not do it.

In the dressing room.

The Spurs players sat together, very quiet, only the heavy breathing of the players could be heard, and everyone's expressions were ugly.

For the 76ers after Butler's return, they were psychologically prepared for this, but they didn't expect to be so much stronger.

"Hey..." Popovich sighed inwardly. He understood that Butler's return would not only bring to the 76ers an outstanding player, but also to the entire 76ers. With the improvement of the team system, the missing link can be made up, and the overall strength of the 76ers will naturally increase a lot.

Just like the Spurs, the troika is indispensable. Without Parker or Ginobili, the system will be destroyed.

"Let me talk..." Popovich said, cheering the players.

However, after entering the second half, the situation has not changed.

The Spurs are also trying to reverse, but every time their counterattack will be put out by the 76ers.

This Popovich father had nothing to do for a while. After Butler's return, in addition to improving the 76ers' offense, it also greatly strengthened the 76ers' defense. They were able to target the 76ers' defensive weaknesses before. Targeted attack.

But it's difficult now.

When the three quarters ended, the 76ers led by 15 points.

The Spurs are still very tenacious. They didn't let the game go to waste. They didn't let the 76ers directly widen the point difference to close to twenty points, or more than twenty points.

However, the Spurs are still at a disadvantage. The points are almost open, two or three points in a quarter. It seems that there are not many, but it is very deadly.
