Coach Luke frowned.

The reason why the score will be chased down to only one point in these few minutes is mainly because the Blazers played too well, to be precise, Aldridge played too well.

The other way around, the 76ers' defense isn't good enough.

Of course, it is difficult to limit Aldridge one-on-one. After all, Aldridge has almost reached the "All-Star player" level. Whether it is Speights or Nene, it is difficult to prevent him.

"The problem is defense." Assistant Harry said.

"Well." Coach Luke naturally knows, "it is difficult to limit Aldridge one-on-one. The problem is that our help defense is not good enough. We can't let Aldridge play like this anymore, we must limit him. Otherwise, even if the point difference is not caught up, it will only remain in a stalemate.”

Assistant Coach Harry swept around the players and suggested, "Will you let Qin be in charge of defense later? He is fast and has a good sense of defense."

Coach Luke was a little moved. He looked at Qin Hao with questioning eyes. As soon as their eyes met Qin Hao, they understood. He smiled slightly, but did not nod, but rushed to Xiaoka, who was sitting there with dull eyes and seemed to be in a daze. Nunu mouth.

"Let him go, can it be done?" Coach Luke understood, but he lacked confidence in Xiaoka. After all, Xiaoka was still a rookie, and that expression really made people feel...it hurts.

"Give him a chance." Qin Hao said.

One thing Blakeskins and Lavoy guessed right. Qin Hao and Coach Luke have a very good relationship, and it has even surpassed the relationship between the general team coach and the team's leading star.

Generally speaking, the head coach will give some face to the star, and the opinions of the star should be respected.

But Qin Hao is different from Coach Luke. In addition to respect, there is a kind of trust between the two.

Although the head coaches of other teams respect the opinions of the team's leading stars, they do not necessarily approve, let alone trust their opinions and judgments.

However, the 76ers are different. Qin Hao has never disappointed Coach Luke, and an extraordinary trust has been established between the two. Since Qin Hao said so, Coach Luke no longer hesitates: "Leonard, wait for you to come on and replace Lou Wei. I'll give you a mission to help Nene defend Aldridge."

"Yes." Xiaoka nodded and stood up.

After that, Coach Luke made some arrangements, and finally clapped his hands and said, "There is still one minute left in this quarter. Play well. My request is that at the end of the first half, you must ensure the lead."

"Understood." Qin Hao agreed in unison.

The timeout ended quickly, and several people walked onto the court.

Xiaoka looked at the opposite side, his eyes fell on Aldridge, his expression was still calm, but Qin Hao and him were already familiar with him and knew that although he was calm on the surface, he was not necessarily calm in heart.

After all, Xiaoka is not stupid, although this is to help Nene to help defend, but the situation on the field is there, this task is very important, otherwise the coach will not specifically tell him.

It's just that he is a rookie player, or a rookie who has not entered the lottery. In the first game of the regular season, he has received such an important task. Can you not be nervous?

"Relax." Qin Hao patted Xiaoka's shoulder and smiled: "Don't be nervous, there is me."

"Yeah." Xiaoka nodded, feeling really relaxed.

The game continues.

There was only one minute left in the first half, and the score was 55:54. The 76ers led by 1 point. The fans in the audience were also staring at the field without blinking. Many Blazers fans were shouting, The Blazers cheer, looking forward to them being able to overtake the score.

"attack!"

Qin Hao took the ball in the backcourt and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. The defender rushed up and continued the previous defense. Qin Hao made a breakthrough directly, but this time he was not in a hurry. The ball was passed to Andre Iguodala.

Iguodala took the ball and found that the opportunity was not good. He also had a tacit understanding and was not in a hurry. In the end, he was an old player with rich experience. It looks like, leaving 40 seconds, waiting for the Blazers to attack a wave, and they still have time for the last attack.

If they don't press time, the Blazers will grab one, and maybe they will have one more offensive opportunity, which is not what the 76ers want.

Of course, it's not all about pressing time.

"go, go!"

Iguodala waved his arms, the players moved quickly, Qin Hao ran counter-runs continuously, and his teammates kept covering him and blocking defenders.

This is a tactic arranged by Coach Luke during the timeout just now.

When more than half of the 24-second attack time had passed, Qin Hao finally ran out of the space. At this moment, he was a pitcher. Iguodala passed the ball to Qin Hao, and Qin Hao took the ball and made a three-pointer.

Swish!

With a bang, the ball went in.

The Blazers fans in the audience were a little depressed and shouted unhappily. Qin Hao made a three-pointer, and the difference became 4 points.

"It's okay, offense." The Blazers coach shouted.

Several Blazers players launched an attack. After arriving in the frontcourt, they still gave the ball to Aldridge. Aldridge took the ball and started a post-up single.

Xiaoka was not far away. Seeing this, he quickly moved closer to this side. Aldridge didn't care. Who should help defend?

He was prepared.

Sure enough, Aldridge scored the ball and returned it to the perimeter. Xiaoka had to leave and threw himself beyond the three-point line, and the ball from beyond the three-point line was returned to Aldridge again.

At this time, Aldridge was closer to the basket, and he didn't delay getting the ball. He pushed back, turned a half and a half, and was ready to score the ball with a small hook.

However, just as he was about to take the ball, he suddenly felt empty.

"No, the ball was cut."

In the audience, the fans exclaimed.

This steal came from Xiaoka. He rushed over at the first time, and it was a bit difficult to block Aldridge, but he had a pair of long arms, and the card was on time. Aldridge was about to lift the ball, but he hadn't lifted it yet. At the time, it was cut off.

"Beautiful." Coach Luke praised.

Qin Hao was also very happy. He rushed to the frontcourt immediately. Xiaoka grabbed the ball and looked to the frontcourt. Seeing that Qin Hao was about to go down, he immediately pushed with both hands and made a long pass.

With Qin Hao's speed, he had already thrown off the others, stretched out his hand to grab the basketball, and took three big steps.

Bang!

A blast.

Qin Hao landed, returned to his own half, and gave Xiaoka a high five: "Nice job."

Xiaoka scratched his head, still a little excited, but he didn't know how to express it.

The goal was scored and the score became 60:54.

The original one-point difference turned into 6 points in the blink of an eye, and with less than 30 seconds left in the second quarter, it was basically impossible for the Blazers to overtake the score at the end of the first half.
