Basketball Myth: Super Guard

After a four-game losing streak, the 76ers' team atmosphere was a little depressed.

In the training arena, the players were training, but they were all absent-minded. Lavoy did not show up because he was "injured" and was put on the injured list to recuperate at home.

The result of this treatment was not unexpected, and the players didn’t care too much. The lack of a water fountain caretaker had little impact on the team, but Brand still did not return.

Brand is the team's starting small forward, and his absence will have a great impact on the team.

"coach."

When Coach Luke arrived, he nodded at the players, his face was not very good-looking, he waved his hand to call everyone, and grouped up for training.

After the training was over, he gathered the players again, with a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "We have lost four straight."

The crowd was silent.

Yeah, four straight defeats.

This season started with five consecutive victories, and after that, it has continued to advance all the way. Before that, it was at most two consecutive losses, and it was unacceptable to lose three consecutive games, let alone four consecutive defeats.

Coach Luke raised his voice: "So next game, we have to win, we must not lose again."

"Um."

"I can't lose anymore."

"If we lose again, we'll be transferred to fourth in the Eastern Conference."

Everyone said.

Qin Hao did not speak, his eyes were firm, and he clenched his fists. The next game is against the Magic, and it is an away game, but no matter what he faces, he must fight it out.

They were only two games away from the Knicks before, and after losing to the Hawks last game, the two sides were only one game away. If the 76ers lost again and the Knicks won, then they really needed to. Lost the third position in the East and was pushed to fourth.

What's more serious is the blow to the morale of the team.

They were able to play so well before, largely due to the five-game winning streak at the beginning of the regular season, which made the team morale and fighting spirit high.

If they lose another game and get a five-game losing streak, the morale of the team will be slumped. If they want to get back on their feet, I am afraid that they will need another five-game winning streak.

Then Coach Luke carefully analyzed the situation of the Magic this season to everyone.

The Magic's record this season ranks sixth in the Eastern Conference. It's not particularly good, but it's definitely not bad. The team's leading star, Howard, has averaged 21+15 terrifying data per game, which is called an inside monster. Forward Ryan Anderson, guard Jameer Nelson, JJ Redick, etc. all played well.

Although the Magic's record ranking is not as good as that of the 76ers, the lineup and strength are definitely not to be underestimated.

What's more, the 76ers are in a bad situation at this time. Brand did not come to practice today, and it is very likely that tomorrow's game will still be a "truce due to illness."

So when Coach Luke finished speaking and ordered everyone to disband, the players were all worried.

Qin Hao shook his head, came to Coach Luke, and asked, "Coach, what's going on with Brand, the rumor has passed, and he hasn't come back?"

"Hmph." Coach Luke snorted coldly. He was very upset with Brand. After all, he was also the head coach of the team. Isn't this a shame for himself?

The two talked before and broke up unhappily.

Coach Luke dealt with Lavoy yesterday, and Brand must have gotten the news from his teammates, but he still didn't come back for training today, as if he was waiting for Coach Luke to take the initiative to find him.

Coach Luke also has a temper. You want to wait for me to come and beg you to come back? I don't, and I don't believe that you can't win without you.

In this regard, Qin Hao could only helplessly smile.

Now this situation is not very good, but he also thinks that Coach Luke is right. Some problems are just unaccustomed to. The more you get used to it, the worse it becomes.

"Even if there is no Brand, the next game must be won." Qin Hao took a deep breath, greeted Xiaoka, and stayed for more practice.

The players have all left.

Qin Hao and Xiaoka are also almost resting.

"Let's start." Qin Hao shouted, suddenly remembering something, he was busy during this time, and he forgot about hiring a trainer. "Call later and ask."

The two started training.

An hour later, the two stopped, gasping for breath.

Xiaoka looked at Qin Hao and asked, "Qin, why do you feel like you practiced harder than usual today? You seem to be in a hurry."

Qin Hao said in his heart, can I not be in a hurry? This is a shortened season. It will be February soon. After the All-Star Weekend, only one third of the season will be left. If the strength cannot change again before the playoffs, wait until the season. Whether it is against the Heat or the Bulls, the Knicks, or the Celtics in the playoffs, I have no idea.

But there is no need to tell Xiaoka about this. Qin Hao just smiled and rested for another ten minutes. He stood up and said, "Come again."

Another half hour.

At this time, Xiaoka was already exhausted. He was sweating like rain on his knees, and his heart was full of emotion. How could Qin Hao's physical fitness be so good?

Qin Hao breathed evenly, glanced at the basket, and decided to come here today. Although he was in a hurry, his physical fitness was good and he recovered quickly, but Xiaoka couldn't.

"Okay, let's practice here today." Qin Hao said: "Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow is the game with the Magic team. Play well."

"I understand." Xiaoka nodded, he must win tomorrow's game, and he also understands.

When he got home, Qin Hao called Yao Ming and asked him to help recommend two trainers. Yao Ming happily agreed.

......

That afternoon, the 76ers will finally board the plane and head to Orlando.

Brand did not come.

In the evening of the second day, a game will start at the Amway Center Arena, the home of the Magic. The audience is full of people, and there are tens of thousands of fans.

"Should I be able to win today?"

"Don't worry, the 76ers have suffered a four-game losing streak, and this is the trough. And I heard that the 76ers' small forward Brand did not come. It seems that he is ill. The 76ers are missing a starting small forward. We're at a low point again, away from home, and we're going to win today for the Magic."

"Well, I don't know how many points and how many rebounds Howard can score today. The 76ers have only one inside line, and he is not Howard's opponent."

"I think at least a 30+10..."

The game has not yet started, the fans have already started talking, they are full of confidence in the Magic team, and they are also full of confidence in Howard, who has performed extremely well this season.

It didn't take long for players from both sides to play one after another.

After a warm-up, they went back to the sidelines.

Coach Luke looked at his players and said, "Iguodala, you start today and play No. 3." Then he looked at the others, "Nene, your task is heavier today, put Howard out as much as possible. Push. Also, when you see Howard post up low, the others have to go up in time to help defend."

"Yes."

"clear."

Everyone complied.

Finally, Coach Luke emphasized again: "We must win this game today, don't treat me as a regular season to play, and go all out."
