Basketball Myth: Super Guard

In the last few minutes of the first quarter, the two sides sent a rotation.

The Rockets' rotation is not bad, but the 76ers are obviously stronger. Lu Wei and Xiaoka played well, especially Xiaoka, who not only did a good job on the defensive end, but also defended the Rockets' small forwards again and again. Strikes iron, is also very good on the offensive end, 2-for-3 shooting, very efficient.

By the end of the first quarter, the 76ers had a seven-point lead.

In the second quarter, the two sides still sent a rotating lineup, but the Rockets also sent Lowry in addition to a few substitutes. Instead of playing against Qin Hao, Lowry's ability was brought into play, and Patterson, Courtney-Lee, Parsons and others also played well, and they had the upper hand, reducing the difference to only 3 points.

"Substitution." Coach Luke made a substitution, replacing Qin Hao and Nene Qiqi.

At the same time, the Rockets also made substitutions. Yao Ming and Martin were both replaced. Obviously, coach Adelman's substitution was targeted. The 76ers replaced Qin Hao + Nene, and they replaced Martin + Yao Ming. .

Coming to the court, Qin Hao and his teammates exchanged glances. At this time, in addition to Qin Hao and Nene, the other three were Iguodala, Lu Wei, and Thaddeus Yang.

Several people nodded in unison, understood, and began to run to the front.

Qin Hao didn't pause after he came to the frontcourt. He immediately made a breakthrough point and gave it to Lu Wei. Lu Wei also made a sudden point and passed it to Iguodala. Iguodala took the ball and made a three-pointer.

boom!

The ball was missed, and Yao Ming got the rebound.

The Rockets counterattacked. Lowry took the ball to the frontcourt, asked for a pick-and-roll, and passed the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming took the ball and tried to attack, but his eyes scanned the field. The teammates were running, Martin used the cover to make a counter-run and cut inside, Yao Ming immediately gave the ball to the past, Martin received the ball and made a layup.

The difference becomes 1 point.

This made 76ers fans a little worried, and with only one point left, the situation was a little bad.

on the field.

Qin Hao took the ball at the bottom line, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, still a sudden point, gave it to Iguodala, Iguodala feinted, attracted the defense, and scored the ball to Thaddeus Yang, who was low on the right, Thaddeus Young's catch is a jumper. At this time, the Rockets players had just returned to the half court and settled down on the defensive position. The defense was inevitably a little imprecise. When Thaddeus Young jumped up to defend, he was ready to pounce, but it was too late.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"nice shot."

"The shot was resolute, finally stabilized, and was almost overtaken."

In the audience, the fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Coach Adelman frowned on the sidelines. After Qin Hao and Nene were replaced, the 76ers played very fast on both offenses, no more than 7 seconds, and no more than three passes.

This made him think of the "seven-second offense".

The so-called "seven-second attack" originated in football and appeared in the 1980s. It requires players to start a counterattack and complete a shot at the fastest speed. The average attack time is only 7 seconds. Hard to guard against. Later absorbed by basketball games, the Suns' "run-and-gun tactics" had some characteristics of "seven-second offense".

Before the first quarter, the 76ers played a wave of quick counterattacks to overtake the originally lagging score. Coach Adelman was a little worried, and it was further confirmed at this time.

"The opponent just wanted to take advantage of Yao Ming's slow speed and couldn't defend in time, so he played a quick counterattack and attacked in seven seconds, not giving us a chance to calmly arrange defense." Coach Adelman said to himself with a solemn expression.

Yao Ming's height has a great advantage in positional warfare, but when the offense and defense speed up, Yao Ming's speed becomes a problem, and his defense is often one beat slower than the 76ers' offense.

The 76ers are fast-break and fast-defense, attacking in seven seconds. The attack speed is extremely fast. Often, Yao Ming can't retreat to his own half before their attack arrives.

The Rockets are equal to 4 defense and 5, and there will definitely be leakage.

And that gave the 76ers a chance.

In fact, as Coach Adelman thought, the 76ers played very fast in the next few rounds. Whether it was a counterattack or a goal to take the ball from the bottom line to launch an attack, the speed was extremely fast, with an average of no more than 7 seconds, even if Sometimes because they are too hasty, they don't care if the opportunity is not good.

As a result, Yao Ming's role on the defensive end was greatly reduced. On the contrary, because he kept running back and forth and could not get a breath, his physical fitness declined rapidly, and his footsteps had begun to slow down.

"go."

Qin Hao won the rebound by himself, shouted and launched a counterattack, and went to the front court in a blink of an eye. After sweeping the situation on the court, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and gave it to Lu Wei who was outside the 30-degree three-point line on the left. superior.

Lu Wei jumped up when he caught the ball and made a direct three-pointer.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"Not good." Coach Adelman's face changed, and he shouted to the court: "Defend well, be careful of their three-pointers."

It was just that it was impossible to prevent. After a few seconds, Qin Hao suddenly scored and passed it to Lou Wei. The Rockets players rushed towards Lou Wei, but they missed Iguodala on the right. When Lu Wei saw the defender rushing towards him, he made a cross and gave it to Iguodala.

"Oops."

The hearts of the Rockets players jumped, but it was too late to rush over. They could only watch Iguodala make a three-pointer, and with a "swoosh", it was another hollow hit.

Coach Adelman quickly called a timeout.

He was worried in the first quarter, and now the things he is worried about have happened. The 76ers not only played the "seven-second offense", but other than Qin Hao, everyone else's three-point shooting was also very good.

Back then, the Suns' "running and shooting" was similar to the seven-second offense, but at that time, because there were players like Stoudemire and Marion in the team, they didn't have the ability to make three-pointers. Only Nash could make three-pointers, but he still had to organize. So many times the Suns' "running and gun" is a two-pointer.

But even then, it was terrifying.

At this time, the 76ers are not only the "seven-second offense", but also all three-pointers, seven-second offense + three-pointers, the lethality is too terrifying.

Coach Adelman looked at the score and smiled bitterly. In just a moment, the 76ers had widened the difference to 8 points. You must know that the difference was once chased down to only 1 point.

"Defend the three-pointer." Coach Adelman greeted his players, solemnly exhorting, "seven seconds offense" is not scary, fast offense also has weaknesses, because it takes time, the offense is hasty, and the tactics are simple, relying mainly on the players Feel, but once it feels bad, it's over.

If you can't make a shot, you don't even have a rebound.

What's terrible is the seven-second offense + three-pointer, so the focus is on defending the three-pointer.

Then he looked at Yao Ming again, wondering if he should replace Yao Ming?

This kind of offensive and defensive speed, Yao Ming's role in the top is discounted, but it will become a loophole.
