Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"What's going on?" The Raptors head coach asked with a stern face, but several players just lowered their heads, which made him even more upset, "I ask you what's going on? It's justifiable for the Big Three who couldn't guard against the other side. , but see what your offense is like?"

Someone finally reacted. Johnson raised his head and opened his mouth, trying to defend himself, but was pulled by Lori and closed his mouth again.

They only scored 5 points in a few minutes, which is really unreasonable.

But at this time, several people have already understood in their hearts, and the problem lies in their mentality.

Losing to the 76ers last game was a big blow to them, but the opponent lacked the strongest Qin Hao, and he still lost.

Under this circumstance, the Big Three of the 76ers gathered today, and the Raptors players lost psychologically for a while and were at a disadvantage.

So these few minutes on the defensive end the 76ers can't be guarded, and on the offensive end, they are always smashing, and they are as many as 9 points behind in a few minutes.

But they can't tell the coach that they are timid, right?

What a shame.

Only choose silence.

After scolding, the head coach was also tired and waved his hand: "Substitution."

After this substitution, in addition to Lowry and DeRozan, the other three were replaced. Fortunately, the head coach's mind was not messed up and the core players were not replaced.

After all, it's not even halfway through the first quarter. If Lowry and DeRozan are replaced, they won't be able to compete with the other big three.

After returning from the timeout, Lowry and DeRozan adjusted their mentality, and there was a significant improvement on both ends of the offense and defense compared to the previous few minutes.

Still not a match for the 76ers.

on the field.

Qin Hao took the ball, took a tentative step, and then broke through to the left, DeRozan retreated subconsciously, but at this time, Qin Hao also retreated, not advancing but retreating, returning to the outside of the three-point line, just a Three-point shot.

Swish!

With a bang, the ball went in.

"Hey..." DeRozan could only sigh helplessly. Qin Hao had almost always made breakthroughs before, but he suddenly took a three-pointer from the cold and made it hard to guard against.

The key is that it was a breakthrough before, but suddenly it was replaced by a three-pointer, but Qin Hao didn't feel any sense of disobedience and was still so accurate.

abnormal!

DeRozan scolded inwardly and took the ball after coming to the frontcourt, but instead of shooting directly, he cooperated with Lowry, passed the ball to Lowry, pulled the ball away, and took the defender away. Rui took the opportunity to break through and made a layup.

Despite the improved performances of DeRozan and Lowry, the Raptors were still at a disadvantage, and the point difference quickly widened to more than 10.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Raptors called another timeout.

At this time, Coach Luke also called a timeout and replaced Sessions with Curry Jr.

"Me?" Little Curry froze for a moment, a little surprised.

I thought that after Xiaoka came back, he would return to his previous role, and his playing time would be reduced accordingly, but he didn't expect that the first person to be replaced was himself, and he was still in front of Lou Wei and Speights.

Coach Luke raised his face: "what, is there a problem?"

"No, no." Little Curry shook his head quickly, and saw Qin Hao looking at him and giving him an encouraging look, he moved in his heart and nodded gratefully to Qin Hao.

After this substitution, Qin Hao returned to the No. 1 position, and his personal focus was no longer just scoring, but also taking into account organizational tasks.

This is familiar to Qin Hao, and it is not difficult, but Curry is obviously a little nervous. Qin Hao fed him two balls, but both missed.

"Don't be nervous, take it easy." Qin Hao came to Xiao Curry and comforted: "Your task is only one, shoot three-pointers, focus on this one thing, don't think about other things."

"Well." Little Curry nodded heavily and silently told himself in his heart that he couldn't live up to Qin Hao's expectations.

After a while, Coach Luke replaced Qin Hao, Xiaoka, and Nene, leaving only Butler on top and playing with a few substitutes.

Now that the three giants are gathered together, it is finally possible to relive the good times when there is at least one giant on the court at all times.

on the field.

Lou Williams, Curry Jr., Butler, Speights, Smith, this lineup is not weak. Lou Wei and Speights themselves can play the starting lineup. But there's Butler, who's an All-Star.

It can be said that on some teams, this lineup is already a good starter.

Compared with the 76ers team, the Raptors are more than one grade worse. Although Lowry is still on the court, he is a main player, and he has played against the 76ers.

For a while, the difference continued to expand...

"The difference is huge."

"Yeah, the difference has been widened to 15 points."

People are emotional.

By the end of the first quarter, the score was 32:17, and the Sixers had a 15-point lead.

......

In a blink of an eye, the game has reached the fourth quarter.

At this time, only four minutes into the fourth quarter, and the fans in the audience have silently sentenced the Raptors to death.

Of course, this is not a subjective assumption, but because the Raptors are still 18 points behind at this time.

With only 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter and an 18-point deficit, do the Raptors have any hope of a comeback? of course not.

Even before the two sides replaced the main players, the game has almost lost the suspense, and the Raptors are about to lose again.

However, the Raptors did not give up on this, but quickly changed to the main lineup and tried to make a final effort.

However it was of no use.

With such a huge point difference, the 76ers still have the Big Three escorting them. The Raptors just chased a few points, and the Big Three immediately stepped forward to score points and help the team stabilize the situation.

For a time, I only saw that the game time was getting less and less, but the score did not shrink much, and it was still maintained at a dozen points.

"drop......"

Finally, at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 122:106. The 76ers defeated the Raptors by 16 points, rewriting the series score to 2:0.

A group of Raptors players left in a hurry, without saying goodbye politely to the 76ers, because they were not in the mood.

Losing to the 76ers in two consecutive games, their confidence suffered a huge blow, and even a little disheartened, the opponent is too strong, give them a sense that no matter how hard they work, no matter how well they play, it is impossible to win the opponent.

What's more, this is a series.

In a seven-game series, even if the Raptors fight one game, can they still win four games and eliminate the 76ers?

"I'm afraid this series is not worth watching."

"Tsk tsk, how can I say that the Raptors are also fifth in the Eastern Conference record, and they played well in the regular season, but I didn't expect that in the playoffs, the gap with the 76ers would be so big."

"It's not surprising, don't forget that the reason why the 76ers dropped to fourth in the East is not because of lack of strength, but because of Leonard's injury. What's more, the regular season and playoffs are completely different for a team like the 76ers. There are two different things. They have won two championships in a row. To put it mildly, the playoffs are what they are good at..."
