Basketball Myth: Super Guard

At almost the same moment, the three 76ers coaches, as well as the three players, each had their own goals for the next month or so.

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

In the past, the 76ers played the "big one and four small" only as an auxiliary lineup. The tactics were relatively simple and not many. Now they have increased a lot and become more complicated. Or a coping strategy when the insider disadvantage is serious.

Meanwhile, 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 he needs to emphasize repeatedly, so that the players will not relax, or focus on offense, enjoy the thrill of scoring, but ignore defense.

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

"Understood." Qin Hao nodded.

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

Qin Hao was mentally prepared for this. Although he felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier, he smiled again when he looked at Butler, Xiaoka, Iguodala, Nene, Lu Wei and other teammates around him. So many good brothers, I am afraid of a ball.

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

......

In a blink of an eye, February ends and March begins.

Entering March, which means that there is only a little more than a month left in the regular season schedule, 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 all actively preparing for the playoffs.

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

There are also the Celtics, Bucks, Raptors and other teams on the east side, 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 sprint in the last month.

On March 2, the 76ers were at home and faced the challenge of the Warriors.

The Warriors are now seventh in the Western Conference and have great hopes of making the playoffs, but it's not safe, so they have to fight for every win.

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

After saying hello, Shuangcong became serious.

After a warm-up, the game started quickly.

Before entering the field, Coach Luke stopped everyone and said, "Play according to our tactics, remember that we must not only play well on offense, but also on defense."

Everyone promises.

Coach Luke didn't make any targeted arrangements, such as catching Curry to play alone, because Curry is a defensive weakness in the Warriors' system.

This is because Qin Hao has talked with Coach Luke before, and the two have the same view. In the next month or so, they will not pursue records, but only improve their strength, improve the individual ability of players, and improve the overall ability of the team... . So for the 76ers, it's more like a drill.

Of course, the Warriors don't know that.

At this moment, from the coaches to the players, everyone in the Warriors is very serious and solemn, because the opponent is the 76ers, the first in the East.

"Let me tell you..." the head coach said: "Our advantage is the inside line, we must protect the rebounds and play more positional warfare. There is also three-point defense, as long as we don't let the opponent's three-pointer shoot away. , we'll play steadily, no problem."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Curry frowned. The coach's strategy was fine, but he was completely in a positional battle, and he probably wouldn't be able to shoot three-pointers on his side.

Two teams have surprised the league this season.

One is the 76ers. No one expected that they could become the No. 1 in the East, and they have been sitting on the throne of No. 1 in the East. 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 in the Western Conference, although not very high. , but at least there is hope of impacting the playoffs.

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

On the 76ers side, Qin Hao averaged more than ten three-pointers per game some time ago. He threw more than a dozen three-pointers in a game, and the hearts of the people watching were trembling.

On the Warriors side, Curry has averaged 8.5 three-pointers per game this season. Except for Qin Hao, he ranks 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, but they are also very accurate. Qin Hao averaged a three-point shooting rate of 39.2%, and Curry even reached 42.0%, which shocked everyone. , can also hit three-pointers and two-pointers.

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

It's just that when the game starts, the fans are depressed that both defenses are targeting the three-point line. The Warriors don't want the 76ers to shoot threes, and the 76ers are the same.

As a result, fans were frustrated.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Bogut shot.

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

Under the basket, David Lee jumped up and tried to grab the rebound, but unexpectedly one hand grabbed on top of his head and took the basketball away.

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

This person is Xiaoka. He has already grabbed the rebounds that David Li thought he could get his hands on more than once. With his long arms and big hands, Xiaoka is also a good rebounder. What's more, although David Lee plays a power forward, his height is actually only 206 cm, not much taller than Xiaoka.

"go!"

Qin Hao shouted and rushed to the front.

Xiaoka took a few steps forward after winning the rebound, and then a long pass was given to Butler who had already reached the frontcourt. Butler immediately transferred the ball and gave it to Qin Hao.

Swish!

Qin Hao raised his knife and fell, and hit a three-pointer.

This counterattack was too fast. Although Curry tried his best to catch up, he couldn't stop it in the end. He looked at Qin Hao, recalling the counterattack from the opponent just now, and shook his head helplessly: "If only we could fight like this. ."
