Basketball Myth: Super Guard

January came to an end when the All-Star bench was announced.

The 76ers rushed to the away game to challenge the Eagles, and finally defeated the Eagles with the excellent performance of the whole team.

In this game, Qin Hao scored 26 points, Butler 25 points, Xiaoka 19 points, Iguodala 8 points, Lu Wei 13 points... So far, the 76ers' January game has all ended .

Entering February, the NBA officially announced last month's awards, and the most eye-catching is naturally the "Best Player of the Month" in the East and West.

In December, Qin Hao scored 30+ in many consecutive games, averaged nearly 30+ per game in December, and led the 76ers to the first record in the Eastern good player".

This time Qin Hao won the "Eastern Player of the Month" again.

Throughout January, Qin Hao's performance was still outstanding, and he even had a 40+ performance. Throughout January, he averaged 27.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 9.6 assists per game, second only to Durant in scoring and second in assists. In Rondo and Paul, and successfully selected for the All-Star starter.

The team's record is also very good, and it has always maintained the first position in the Eastern Conference. It is also well-deserved to be the "Best Player of the Month in the Eastern Conference".

After entering February, the All-Star Weekend is approaching, and the atmosphere of the NBA seems to have become a lot more relaxed.

In a few games, the 76ers have won 3 wins and 1 loss, still maintaining a very high winning rate. They are currently on a par with the Thunder, and are only one step away from being the first in the league.

......

Philadelphia.

in the training arena.

Today's training is over, Qin Hao, Butler and Xiaoka stayed.

"Shhhh..."

Qin Hao stood at the three-point line and aimed at training three-pointers.

In the past two months, Qin Hao has been training three-pointers, and he has also increased the proportion of three-point shots in the game. After two months, Qin Hao can feel his progress, but he is still away from the next transformation. No clue.

Beside, Butler and Xiaoka are also training.

Now they are numb to Qin Hao's three-point shooting. They haven't seen any showy operations. Even half-court three-point shooting has become one of Qin Hao's daily training items. Can you believe it?

Anyway, Butler and Xiaoka will never do this. What are you doing with that thing? Who throws a three-pointer just after the center line when they have nothing to do?

Even in the game, when there is not enough time, it is very rare to have to throw like this.

Of course, the key is that this is not a routine operation, and it may not be able to be thrown in after practice. It is not used in normal times, and it may not work after practice. Who should practice?

Unless you can turn the midfield three-pointer, the logo three-pointer into a basic exercise.

"Jimmy, relax when you shoot, yes..." Snake corrected while passing the ball to Butler.

Butler's targeted training is also shooting. His breakthrough ability is actually not the top of the league, but he is not Irving. He doesn't have that fancy style of play, and he doesn't need it. watch for.

The only flaw has always been the lack of consistent shooting.

"Shh..."

Butler caught the ball and made a jump shot, making a steady hit, with a softer shot and a more stretched action.

This season has been a season of rapid rise for Butler. Although he also had a burst in the Pistons last season, it was only a flash in the pan, but it was just the beginning.

Now in the 76ers, he is really rising, he has completed his transformation, and the battle of revenge with the Pistons. He was selected as an All-Star some time ago, which has made Butler have some transformations. He has become more mature and confident, and his strength has become more and more powerful. strong.

Of course, this is inseparable from his usual hard training. No one can easily succeed. Behind every success, there are unknown hardships and sweat.

For basketball players, talent, effort, and opportunity all matter.

"Shhhh..."

Shots and hits again and again, Butler has a smile on his mouth and is very satisfied with himself. Now he can shoot three-pointers and two-pointers. He is a versatile player who has many options on the court, unlike before. Carrying a pack of explosives, he rushed to the inside line.

Thinking of this, Butler couldn't help but put on his hips and laughed.

"Jimmy, what are you doing?" Qin Hao shouted.

"Oh, nothing." Butler quickly stopped laughing and continued training.

Qin Hao shook his head, unable to complain, look at Xiaoka, how focused?

Well, Xiaoka is actually not too focused, but taciturn, so it seems that he is very focused when training.

Xiaoka's training is not only for shooting, but also for breakthroughs. Qin Hao has high expectations for him. He is an all-around scorer and a top defender. Xiaoka has all the required conditions.

Not only has Butler improved a lot this season, but Kawhi has also improved a lot.

This season, Xiaoka has averaged 15.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. The data is even better than Lou Wei, and whether it is shooting percentage or stability, it is better than Lou Wei. Lou Wei is not. It's too stable, sometimes it's awesome, and sometimes it doesn't work.

Moreover, the role of Xiaoka is not that the data can be fully reflected. For example, his role on the defensive end cannot be replaced by others in the 76ers.

Because Qin Hao needs to score, organize, and has limited energy, it is difficult to act as a defensive vanguard. Butler's defense is not bad, but it is still inferior to Xiaoka.

Therefore, the task of defending the opponent's arrow players often falls on the head of the small card.

For quite a long time before, Coach Luke's positioning of Xiaoka was a "defensive vanguard". Until this season, especially after the team had a second lineup and played "big and four small", Xiaoka was in the The talent on the offensive end was revealed, and the average data per game increased significantly.

In Qin Hao's eyes, whether Butler or Xiaoka, or other teammates, are actually improving, but Butler and Xiaoka are especially important.

The regular season does not mean everything, even if it is the first in the regular season?

Before the Bulls played first in the regular season, but lost to the Heat in the end; a few years later, the Warriors played a regular season record of 73 wins and 9 losses, breaking the historical record maintained by the Bulls in the regular season. History, but the result?

Even though the 76ers are now No. 1 in the East, and even have a chance to become No. 1 in the league, Qin Hao is very clear.

Is this strong?

Yes, but not enough.

Only the playoffs are the real litmus test, only the winners are the laughter, and how far they can go in the playoffs depends on how much better they can improve.

......

After a day of training, Qin Hao returned home and changed his clothes, and Jiang Xue also returned home early because the two had to rush to the airport to pick them up.

Chinese New Year is coming soon.
