Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Philadelphia.

76ers practice arena.

A group of players are training, and Butler is also participating in training. His injury is recovering quickly. After all, he is young and can already participate in team training.

On the field, Nene, Speights, Xiaoka, Iguodala, and Qin Hao were in one group, and Butler was divided into another group, along with Lou Wei, Sessions and others.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Speights struck the iron.

Mozkov took the rebound and passed it to Sessions. Sessions advanced the ball to the frontcourt, and when Butler rushed for the ball, he immediately passed it.

Butler took the ball and was in front of Xiaoka. The two usually competed a lot. Every day after they finished extra training together, they would have to play a few heads-up games.

So Butler didn't hesitate at all, he went straight to singles, took a tentative step, and then suddenly changed direction and accelerated, breaking through to the left.

Xiaoka quickly retreated and got stuck. He wouldn't let Butler pass in one step. As soon as Butler moved, he knew what the opponent would do next.

"really......"

Butler is not surprised at all. In terms of speed and technology, he does not have an advantage over Xiaoka, not to mention that Xiaoka knows him too well.

It is not an easy task to pass the small card directly.

However, Butler also has his own way. After a quick pause, Xiaoka also stopped subconsciously. Butler immediately started, actively looking for physical confrontation, using physical confrontation, combining rhythm and strength, knocking Xiaoka away, and then hugging him. The ball, took three steps, hit the basket and then scored a layup.

"Good shot." Assistant Coach Harry applauded, turned his head to Coach Luke and said, "Coach, it looks like Jimmy is recovering very well, or the next game..."

"Don't worry too much." Coach Luke shook his head and said flatly: "I don't plan to let Jimmy play in the next two games, but give him a few more days. Although he has been able to participate in the team's confrontation training, see Going up and recovering well. But you have to know that the training in the team is different from the real game, the intensity of confrontation and the intensity of the game are not the same thing.”

Assistant Professor Harry nodded and did not persuade him any further.

This is also true. Although Butler recovered quickly, training and competition in the team are two different things. A good performance at this time does not mean that he can adapt to the real game.

What's more, it is the finals now, the intensity is not comparable to the regular season, and Butler is participating in the confrontation training on the first day today, and he needs to give him some more time, not only to let him get back to the state of the game, but also to be on the safe side. Recover a little better and adjust your competitive state, so as to avoid the recurrence of injuries.

Besides, there are only two games in the finals, and the big score is 1:1. The situation is relatively optimistic, and Butler does not need to rush back.

on the field.

Qin Hao came to the frontcourt, worshipped Buddha, raised the center of gravity of Sessions' deception, and then accelerated, passed Sessions, but did not go to the inside line, and made a sudden stop jumper after taking a step forward.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

After a period of time, the two sides came and went, but they also played wonderfully, and they did not give in to each other. Under the leadership of Butler, this lineup composed of Lu Wei, Sessions, Mozkov and others played very well. In addition, this is an intra-team match, and they did not lose to Qin Hao and the others.

Coach Luke looked at it and nodded secretly, then stopped, let everyone rest for a while, stopped Xiaoka, and said: "Xiaoka, you have to be more active, take the initiative to attack, take the initiative to play with the ball, you have such strength of."

Kakashi nodded.

In the hands of Butler in this series, while he has a heavier task, he also gets more opportunities, especially on the offensive end. Before Butler was there, Qin Hao and Butler shared a lot of the ball. Naturally, his will be much less.

Now that Butler is in a truce, he has more earth rights.

In several games of the Eastern Conference finals, the number of shots taken by Xiaoka and the personal score have increased significantly.

After a few games, his offensive talent has been further revealed, even though he is only in his second season.

Coach Luke has seen it all, so he is also willing to give Xiaoka more opportunities.

After a while, the contest continued.

Xiaoka increased his personal offense, and Qin Hao consciously gave up the ball to Xiaoka.

On one side, Xiaoka's offensive was fierce, and on the other, Butler was in a hot state. It was so lively that you came and went on both sides. Coach Luke, who was watching, was in a good mood, and he couldn't help laughing.

......

The day of training is over.

Butler ran to Coach Luke, licked his face and said with a smile: "Coach, do you think my performance is okay today?"

"Well, good performance." Coach Luke laughed.

"Hey." Butler hurriedly said: "Coach, can you see if you can let me play in the next game? It's okay not to start, I'll be a substitute."

Coach Luke nodded. He still appreciates Butler's attitude. He is eager to contribute to the team. He can also take the initiative to play a substitute first, adapt to the game, and slowly find his form, which is very good.

but......

"Jimmy." Coach Luke patted Butler's arm and said warmly: "Don't worry, the doctor said that you need 3-4 weeks to recover, and it's not even 4 weeks. After a few more days of training, the recovery will be better. Find the feeling of the game again.”

"Oh." Butler's face fell.

That was the finals. He missed the Eastern Conference finals, but he didn't want to miss the finals at all, and he wished he could play immediately.

Hey, we'll have to wait a few days.

......

A day later, the third game of the finals started.

This time back at the home of the 76ers. They won a game before, and they played at home again. The 76ers were in high spirits and in hot form, and they had the upper hand from the beginning of the game.

The 76ers had an 8-point lead in the first quarter.

But then the Spurs also entered the state and began to counterattack. Whenever the 76ers scored a goal, they were always able to retaliate and prevent the 76ers from widening the difference.

When the bench was replaced, the two sides were still evenly matched. By the end of the first quarter, the 76ers were still ahead by 6 points.

And when entering the second quarter, Duncan began to exert force.

Duncan succeeded in consecutive singles against Speights in the low post. The Spurs could not guard against Qin Hao, and the 76ers could not restrain Duncan at the 4th position, but the Spurs and the 76ers played differently and the system was different, so It is difficult for Duncan to watch points like Qin Hao, who can score more than 30 points in a game.

But in these few games, Duncan averaged more than 20 points per game, the most points among the troika.

Under the explosion of Duncan, the Spurs played a beautiful counterattack, quickly caught up with the score, and overtook the score.

At this time, Qin Hao also stood up and scored points with his personal ability to help the 76ers stabilize the situation, but the 76ers could not always have the upper hand like the first quarter, and the two sides fell into a stalemate...
