Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Although he was mentally prepared and knew that the 76ers would adjust sooner or later, Popovich didn't expect them to be so fast, and it took only one game to overcome the tension.

When Parker came off the court, Mr. Popovich spread out his tactical board and said: "From the perspective of these few minutes, the opponent has already adjusted. So we can't let the opponent shoot easily, and the defense should be more active. Understand?"

"clear."

The crowd responded.

Here's the 76ers.

Coach Luke is also making arrangements. He first praised the players, and then said solemnly: "Wait, our rhythm should be quickened, faster, and you should attack more resolutely. Shoot when you have a chance, no Opportunities come and go, remember, don’t stop.”

"Yes."

Qin Hao and several people agreed.

After a while, the pause ends.

The two sides returned to the court, and the Spurs attacked. After arriving in the frontcourt, Parker asked for a pick-and-roll, then broke the ball, passed it to Green, and Green passed it to Jackson.

It's just that Jackson has a hard time getting the ball.

In the last game, Xiaoka was actually a little nervous. The offensive end was not in good shape, and the defensive end was okay, but it was still very different from today.

At this moment, Xiaoka is the Xiaoka. Facing his defense, Jackson only felt uncomfortable all over his body. His fake moves were useless at all, but rely on his body. After all, he is in his thirties and wants to rely on his body to play small. A young man like Ka is still a bit boring.

boom!

Jackson hits a jumper.

At Jackson's age, in this state, and against a defense like Xiaoka, all he can use is jumpers.

Precisely not yet.

"Drink." Speights shouted, grabbed the rebound, and quickly passed it to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao launched a counterattack, scored the ball after passing the center line, and passed it to Iguodala.

The Spurs defense can only keep moving, just watching basketball move quickly between Sixers players, non-stop.

After a few times, an opportunity arose.

"Ball." Qin Hao ran back and saw that the inside line was empty, and shouted at his teammates. The ball came over immediately, he took advantage of the situation to cut through the air, jumped up, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and dunked hard at the hoop.

Bang!

"nice shot."

"Nice job."

The 76ers bench, the players jumped and cheered excitedly.

In the next few rounds, the pace of the game was fast. As long as the ball was in the hands of the 76ers, it would not stop for a while, giving the Spurs no chance to fall into a positional defense.

That's the rhythm of the 76ers.

......

In a blink of an eye, more than seven minutes have passed in the first quarter.

The 76ers now lead the Spurs by 7 points.

The Spurs called another timeout and made staffing adjustments.

Subsequently, the 76ers also began to make personnel adjustments and gradually replaced the bench lineup. Xiaoka was still playing with a few bench players.

But this time, the situation was different from the first one.

Not only the main lineup, the 76ers' bench lineup was also a little nervous in the last game, and they didn't play well. Now they have adjusted it, not to mention that the team is still ahead at this time, playing a tailwind.

For a time, the 76ers had the upper hand, and the difference opened a little further.

Seeing that the point difference was about to expand to double digits, Ginobili stood up, first made a driving layup, and then caused a foul by Thaddeus Young. He made two free throws at the free throw line. Taking 4 points helped the Spurs stabilize the situation and did not allow the difference to be widened to more than ten points.

When the first quarter ended, the score was 29:23, with the Sixers leading by six.

For the Spurs, 23 points in a quarter is not a very low score, and their games usually don't score very high, after all, they are a defensive team.

But letting the 76ers score 29 points in a single quarter is a little bit bad, which means they didn't do a good enough job of defending the 76ers in this quarter.

During the break between festivals, Mr. Popovich made another arrangement.

After entering the second quarter, the Spurs' defense became fierce, and the rigor was fierce, especially for Qin Hao.

Popovich understood clearly that the 76ers played well in the first quarter as a whole, but it was mainly Qin Hao's leading role.

To limit the 76ers, Qin Hao has to be limited.

This did pay off. When the Spurs focused on Qin Hao and let the rest of the 76ers play, the 76ers' offensive efficiency dropped a lot.

At the same time, on the offensive end, Duncan increased his low-post attack and repeatedly singled out Speights. Speights didn't pull his hips as much as in the previous game, but he still couldn't defend against the Spurs.

For a time, the Spurs regained the upper hand and quickly narrowed the points difference.

"beep......"

Coach Luke called for a timeout, frowned, and said to Iguodala, Xiaoka and others: "You must take the initiative. Qin's containment of the opponent's defense is your chance."

Several people nodded.

Qin Hao also looked at his teammates and said with a smile, "I trust you, just fight."

......

Pause back.

Qin Hao came to the frontcourt, the Spurs players all stared at Qin Hao, Qin Hao raised his eyebrows, passed the ball out, gave it to Xiaoka, and then made a gesture - you hit it yourself.

Xiaoka hummed, looked at the basket, and then took a tentative step. Jackson's heart skipped a beat, but he wasn't easily fooled.

But at this time, Xiaoka slapped the ball and broke through.

"Not good." Jackson secretly cried out, and quickly stepped back.

But where could he keep up with his speed, Xiaoka lost half of his body in an instant, only to see Xiaoka take two steps forward, then hugged the basketball, kicked his legs on the floor, and jumped up.

Duncan quickly came over to make up the defense, but Xiaoka did not turn back, jumped high, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and dunked hard at the basket.

Bang!

With a loud noise, Xiaoka snapped the buckle with one hand.

Moreover, this was a one-handed dunk against Duncan's defense. Qin Hao couldn't help sighing when he saw it. Without him, Xiaoka and Duncan would still be teammates, so there would not be such an interesting scene.

Of course, at this time, except for Qin Hao, everyone else only exclaimed.

The home fans were even more unhappy, boos everywhere, mixed with all kinds of abuse...

However, these had no effect on Xiaoka. His expression was dull, he didn't even glance at the audience, turned around and ran to his own half.

And after this ball, Xiaoka also turned on the scoring mode.

A moment later, Xiaoka took the ball from beyond the three-point line. First, he dribbled the ball under his crotch and made a breakthrough to the left. Jackson retreated subconsciously, but Xiaoka did not move forward. Instead, he took a step back and retreated to the three-point line. In addition, raising your hand is a step back three-point shot.

Swish!

Still in.

Moreover, not only Xiaoka, but also Iguodala, Nene, etc. broke out one after another. Qin Hao restrained the defense for them, and they were almost all one-on-one opportunities.

For a while, the 76ers regained the upper hand...
