Basketball Myth: Super Guard

76ers rest area.

Seeing Qin Hao come down, the staff hurriedly handed him towels.

Although Qin Hao scored a lot today, his physical energy consumption is not small. After all, this is a back-to-back game, and he just finished playing the Heat yesterday.

"Qin, you still have to take it easy." Coach Luke came to Qin Hao and said.

"Don't worry, coach, I know." Qin Hao said with a smile.

Butler next to him looked at Qin Hao, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists quietly.

After a while, the pause ends.

The two sides returned to the court, with just over a minute left in the second quarter, the Hornets tried to chase the points, as long as they could narrow the difference to within ten points.

Obviously, the head coach made some arrangements during the timeout just now, and the Hornets scored one as soon as they came up, turning the difference into 11 points.

76ers offense.

Qin Hao took the ball in the backcourt. After advancing to the frontcourt, he was just about to ask for a pick-and-roll when he saw Butler running back and asking for the ball at him with a serious expression.

Whoosh!

Qin Hao didn't hesitate, and immediately passed it on.

Butler took the ball, motioned for the others to pull away, and he started singles.

First made a tentative move, then accelerated the breakthrough, passed the defender by half, and saw the Hornets players in front coming up to make up the defense, he hugged the ball, hit the opponent, and pushed the opponent away. , which lifts the ball.

Swish!

Hit the board.

Just half a minute later, Butler took the initiative to ask for the ball again. He couldn't watch Qin Hao fight alone. As one of the core players of the team, he also had to carry the burden on his shoulders. And not just for myself, but also for the small card.

"Pull it off."

Butler made a gesture, glanced at the situation on the court, took a step forward, then turned halfway, and pressed his back against the opponent to the inside line.

After two steps, the opponent's inside player still chose to step forward to help defend, and Butler did not continue to press inside, making a rollover jumper.

Swish!

Enter again.

"Damn." The Hornets head coach scolded secretly. It was Qin Hao before, but Butler now. With these two **** down, don't even try to catch the point difference to within ten points.

When the second quarter ended, the 76ers still had a 13-point lead.

Qin Hao came to Butler, gave him a chest bump, and said with a smile, "Nice job."

Butler grinned and said, "I can't watch you perform alone. I also want to save face. You have already scored more than 20 points, and I only have 10 points, so I can't justify it."

The two laughed together.

......

The second half started quickly.

As soon as he came back, Qin Hao hit a three-pointer and took a three-pointer against the opponent's defender, making the opponent's scalp tingle.

In the first half, Qin Hao was full of firepower, and the Hornets were in a turmoil and had a headache. At the beginning of the second half, he scored another three-pointer.

And, just a moment later, Qin Hao scored another, still a three-pointer.

This time it was Nene who grabbed the offensive rebound and threw it to Qin Hao. Qin Hao dropped the knife and hit the three-pointer again. His personal score has reached 30 points.

"Defend him, don't let him shoot threes..."

"Double-team, why did you miss someone?"

The home fans were anxious and shouted at the field.

But soon Butler broke out again at this point. He first received an assist from Qin Hao and scored a layup, and then he singled himself, hitting the inside line and causing the opponent to foul. He hit the free throw line and made two free throws. Get 4 points.

For a time, with the performance of Qin Hao and Butler, the 76ers played a wave of 10:4, widening the point difference to 19 points.

The Hornets fans were dumbfounded.

How long has it been, how come the difference is almost twenty?

The Hornets head coach hurriedly called a timeout, but with such a huge point difference, coupled with Qin Hao and Butler's hot state today, they had lost their confidence. Although it is not to say that he just disarmed and surrendered like this, his morale was indeed a little low.

So by the time the timeout came back, nothing had changed, the Sixers always had the upper hand...

When the third quarter ended, the 76ers still led by 18 points, basically declaring that the fourth quarter became garbage time.

After all, with an 18-point deficit, it's too difficult to catch up in the last quarter, let alone against a team like the 76ers.

"Qin played really well today."

"Yeah, he has already scored 34 points after only three quarters."

"Butler is not bad. He has already scored 25 points. If he scores a few more points in the fourth quarter, he will score 30+ today."

In the audience, people whispered.

The atmosphere on the 76ers' side has also become more relaxed, and the depression of the previous two-game losing streak has finally dissipated.

......

Moments later, the fourth quarter begins.

In the last quarter, Coach Luke still sent Qin Hao and Butler up. Although they were ahead by 18 points, the team's bench lineup was too stretched, which really worried him.

It was not until a few minutes later, led by Qin Hao and Butler, that the score difference was successfully widened to more than 20 points. The Hornets began to replace the main lineup and announced that they would abandon the game. Coach Luke replaced Qin Hao and Butler. Ming Jin withdraws his troops.

At this time, Qin Hao had already scored 37 points, and Butler had also scored 30 points. When the two scored 30+ points together, it was a logical thing to win the Hornets.

The game is over, the 76ers end their road trip and return to Philadelphia.

After two days of rest, they sat at home, ushered in a game with the Bulls, and lost to the Bulls again.

It's not that Qin Hao and Butler didn't play well, it's just that in the current situation, the team still suffered somewhat against a strong team like the Bulls, and finally lost to the Bulls 111:115.

In 4 games, the 76ers lost three.

Originally, the 76ers were 3 games ahead of the third-placed Bulls in the East, but in these games, the Bulls have approached the record of the 76ers.

And, just after the 76ers lost to the Bulls, the Bulls managed to overtake the 76ers, pushing the 76ers out of the second place in the Eastern Conference and taking their place.

"The 76ers dropped to third in the East."

"Yeah, although Qin and Butler have played very well during this period, the lack of Leonard has a great impact, not only on the main lineup, but also on the bench lineup, which further highlights the weakness of the 76ers' current lineup."

"Looking at this situation, if the 76ers don't do something, I am afraid that the third position in the Eastern Conference may not be able to keep. After all, the fourth Cavaliers and they are only two games away, and it is easy to get caught up."

For a while, the outside world was talking, and some were not optimistic about the 76ers.

at the same time.

In the 76ers coach's office, Coach Luke and other coaching members such as Assistant Coach Harry and Cox are sitting together and discussing things.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and several people studied the video of the game for several hours in order to make some changes.

As the outside world has been talking about, they have to make some changes...
