Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1051

Chapter 1051

Coach Luke couldn't stand it any longer. Taking advantage of the foul and dead ball, he replaced Brand and replaced him with Thaddeus Young. The effect was immediate. Thaddeus Young played better than Brand.

Brand sat on the bench, covered his head with a towel, full of annoyance, and he didn't want to play so badly, but he was nervous when it came to the playoffs, and he was also very depressed.

on the field.

George played very well and became the core of leading the Pacers' bench lineup, supporting both offensive and defensive ends of the Pacers. Although he is only a second-year player, he has already shown a little bit of glory.

However, the 76ers are not weak here. Lu Wei, Holiday, and Xiaoka all played very well.

Especially Xiaoka.

"Pull away." George gestured to his teammates, signaling them to pull away. He singled out Xiaoka, "I heard that you are a defensive champion. I don't believe you can defend me."

Kaka ignored George's teasing, his expression didn't change at all, just staring at George like a robot.Seeing that teasing was useless, George stopped talking nonsense, speeded up his dribble, and suddenly accelerated his breakthrough.

Snapped!

With a soft sound, George's palm was empty. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to block Kaka with his body and regain control of the basketball, but a layer of cold sweat was already breaking out in his vest.

"This guy hits really fast. You really can't underestimate him." Seeing that there was not much time left in the attack, George took a step to the left, and then turned around and shot a jumper.

Xiaoka reacted quickly, jumped up quickly, and flew forward. He silently counted the attack time and knew that the attack time was not much, so when he saw George turn around, he guessed George's intention.

However, the ball was not able to be blocked.

With a "bang", the basketball hit the basket, but it didn't bounce very high, it just bumped a bit, and then fell into the net.

"Huh." George breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I was smart and chose to lean back, or I would have been blocked by this kid." Just now he was almost robbed by Xiaoka, which made George further realize Xiaoka's defensive skills, So I didn't dare to take it lightly, and used a leanback when turning over for a jump shot, so the strength of the shot was too small, and I almost missed the shot.

But it also avoided the small card's block, and the ball was bumped in in the end, which is half strength and half luck.

The 76ers attack.

Lu Wei broke through and passed the ball to Thaddeus Young, Thaddeus Young passed it to Holiday, Holiday made a shooting action to attract the defense, then split the ball again and passed it to Kaka.

At this time, George was attracted by Holiday, and moved two steps towards Holiday. Seeing that Holiday passed the ball to Kaka, he quickly turned around and rushed to Kaka.

But it's too late.

I saw Xiaoka raised his knife and made a three-pointer.

This season, Xiaoka trains with Qin Hao every day, not only improving his defense, but also his ability to control movement and shooting ability has been greatly improved.

Qin Hao knew the level of Xiaoka at the peak, which was equivalent to bringing his own instruction manual. Naturally, he would not let Xiaoka take detours, nor would he waste Xiaoka's talent, but only let him become a defensive champion.

From the beginning, Qin Hao's plan for Xiaoka was to become an all-around small forward with excellent offense and defense.

So Xiaoka can not only defend, but also score!

In a blink of an eye, the first quarter ended, the score was 31:26, and the 76ers still led by 5 points.

In the second quarter, the two sides first put in a rotation lineup. The 76ers are still dominated by Lu Wei, Holiday, and Xiaoka, while the Pacers are dominated by Collison and Barbosa.

There is no doubt that the 76ers' bench depth is stronger than that of the Pacers, and the combination of Lu Wei, Holiday, and Kaka is much stronger than Collison and Barbosa.

In just a moment, the Pacers were completely at a disadvantage, and the point difference was also pulled to 9 points.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Coach Vogel made a substitution and replaced George and West.

George is now afraid of Kaka's defense. Instead of playing singles, he asked for a pick-and-roll and used West's pick-and-roll to get rid of Kaka. After the inside line, he found a physical confrontation, knocked Mozkov away, and then hit a board.

A moment later, George ran back, came to the three-point line to catch the ball, and made a shooting motion. Kaka subconsciously raised his hand on tiptoe, but George smiled, put the ball down, and shot forward.Xiaoka reacted quickly, immediately lowered his center of gravity, and at the same time took a step back, turning sideways to prepare for the chase.

"You've been fooled again." George chuckled, only took a step forward, and then immediately pulled back, retreated outside the three-point line, and made a three-point step back.

Swish!

With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

"nice shot."

A group of Pacers players applauded in unison.

Coach Vogel couldn't help but smile. George performed very well today. Whether it was leading the bench in the last few minutes of the first quarter or these two goals, his performance was impeccable.

This season, George averaged 13.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game. His personal scoring average was even higher than the 12.8 points per game of Hibbert and West, second only to the Pacers. With Granger averaging 18.7 points per game, his personal talent has gradually begun to show.

What's even more rare is that he doesn't have stage fright, and he is still stable in the playoffs, daring to fight hard, especially when there are no Hibbert, Granger and others on the court, he is especially brilliant.

A moment later, George broke through the inside again and caused a foul by Mozkov. Although he failed to score 2+1, he went to the free throw line and made two free throws and scored two more points.

Unknowingly, George's personal scoring has reached double figures, becoming the Pacers' highest scorer so far.

"George played really well today."

"This kid is really powerful, the bigger the scene, the more he dares to fight."

A group of Pacers players praised one after another. Driven by George's outstanding performance, the Pacers quickly narrowed the score, and the difference between the two sides has quietly narrowed to only 2 points.

The point difference changed from 9 points to 2 points, but it took only a moment, and George contributed a lot. He became a surprise soldier of the Pacers today!

"Request a timeout."

Coach Luke called a timeout.

At this time, 5 minutes had passed in the second quarter. Coach Luke waved his hand and began to make substitutions: "Qin, and Speights, Iguodala, you three." Then Coach Luke spread out the tactical board , rearranged the tactics, knocked on the tactical board, and said in a deep voice: "Let me open the score."

"Yes."

"clear."

Qin Hao and the others all agreed.

When the timeout ends, both players return to the field.

The Pacers also changed players, Hibbert, Granger, and Hill were all replaced, and George and West were not replaced, which is equivalent to getting back the starting lineup.

Qin Hao looked at the opposite side, his eyes fell on George, the corner of his mouth raised, showing a slight smile, and said to himself, "Are you a surprise soldier? Then I'm sorry."
