Chapter 1414 The Sixth Key Game (Four More)

Philadelphia.

in the training arena.

The 76ers players are training, and today's training theme is not "big four", but the regular lineup.

Group A is Nene, Speights, Xiaoka, Iguodala and Qin Hao.

Group B is Mozkov, Thaddeus Young, Lou Wei, Sessions, Iverson.

In such a lineup comparison, Qin Hao's side naturally has an absolute advantage, but this is only a training match within the team, mainly to practice tactics, the intensity of confrontation is not very high, and the outcome is not important.

"Coach." Assistant Harry frowned and said to Coach Luke, "Are we really not playing 'big and four'?"

"It's not that we don't play, it's just the regular lineup." Coach Luke said: "Since the Bulls play the regular lineup, we also play the regular lineup. Of course, the game is constantly changing, and it needs to be adjusted according to the specific situation. When Playing the regular lineup, when to play 'big and four' depends on the development of the game."

Assistant Harry nodded.

In fact, the reason why Coach Luke chose to mainly deal with the regular lineup is because the last game, that is, the fifth game, the Bulls were all regular lineups.

After losing to the 76ers in the third and fourth consecutive games, the Bulls no longer insisted on "one big and four small". They know that playing this lineup is not the opponent of the 76ers, even if Butler missed the game due to injury. case.

So after returning to Chicago in Game 5, the Bulls gave up "one big and four small".

Coach Thibodeau also realized that "big one and four small" is not something that he is good at, but something he learned from the 76ers. Once it is cracked by the other side, it will no longer work.

It's better to stick to what you're good at than that, so in Game 5 the Bulls used the regular lineup throughout, and the results were surprisingly good.

"I thought I could win the fifth game..."

Thinking of the fifth game, Coach Luke felt a little pity.

Game 5 is a life-or-death battle for the Bulls. Once they lose, they are over, and if the 76ers win, they can directly advance to the finals.

So in Game 5, the Bulls fought hard, and every player played their best, because they had no way out and could only fight against the odds.

Among the starters, Rose broke out completely, scoring 39 points, plus 5 rebounds and 8 assists. He was unstoppable.

Luol Deng played averagely and only scored 11 points, but Noah and Boozer performed very well in the interior. Noah scored 19 points and Boozer scored 16 points and 11 rebounds.

In addition, Green, Miles, and Robinson, the bench players, also played very well.

Under the full explosion of the Bulls, the 76ers lost to the Bulls 107:116, and the big score of the series was rewritten to 2:3.

"As expected of the Bulls." Coach Luke shook his head and collected his thoughts.

Although it is a pity not to win the fifth game, it is not unexpected. After all, the Bulls are very strong, and they still lack a Butler on their side. When they get to the edge of the cliff, the Bulls will definitely explode with unprecedented fighting power. It's a home game again, and it's not surprising to win Game 5.

But the next step is Game 6, which will be played at the 76ers' home tomorrow. For the 76ers, this is the best chance.

If Game 6 is not won and the series is dragged into a tiebreaker, there are too many variables.

"We must win the sixth game." Coach Luke muttered, looked at the time, and clapped his hands to stop, "Okay, let's train here today, go back and have a good rest, tomorrow will be a tough battle."

"Yeah." Everyone responded, all with serious expressions.

Tomorrow is the crucial battle.

Everyone left one after another, Qin Hao and Xiaoka stayed, but it was only Qin Hao's training, Xiaoka didn't train, just watched.

It's not that Xiaoka is not diligent, it's just that Xiaoka has always been a defensive vanguard. After Butler was injured, his task became even heavier. Every game consumes a lot of physical energy, and he does not have the ability to recover as quickly as Qin Hao, so You have to keep your fitness for tomorrow's game.

Qin Hao didn't practice more as usual, and the intensity was much reduced.

"Shh!"

With a soft click, Qin Hao received the pass and dribbled a step, accelerated with a change of direction, and then hit a pull-up jumper.

He stayed to practice the mid-range jumper.

Although I know that it is unlikely to be transformed, after all, the three-pointer has only transformed for a long time. According to past experience, the mid-range shooting and breakthrough ability will not transform so quickly, and there is no such thing as before the transformation of the three-pointer ability. Wonderful feeling.

But Qin Hao still wants to practice more, and he can improve a little.

"ball."

Qin Hao opened his hand, and Barry passed the ball over. After he caught the ball, he feinted, then accelerated to break through, took two steps to the left, then stopped and made a fallback jumper.

Swish!

Hollow hits.

After that, there is a cycle of reciprocation, changing various actions, or leaning back, or making a pull-up jumper, or making a three-threat and then pulling directly, or changing to a rollover jumper after a breakthrough...

Shooting again and again, hitting again and again, only to hear the sound of "swish".

In fact, for a three-point marksman like Qin Hao, it would be easier to shoot from the mid-range.

It's just that the old adage "the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score" is actually only half of what he said, and the other half is "the closer you are to the basket, the more intense the confrontation", and the greater the defensive pressure and interference you face.

So it's not like you're a good 3-pointer, the mid-range is better than the 3-pointer.

There are even some people who shoot 3-pointers better than mid-range, and they will choose to shoot 3-pointers more than mid-range in the game, such as JJ Redick and Kyle Korver.

"Shh!"

With another soft sound, Qin Hao stopped. It's been half an hour, and he's training here today.

Thinking that tomorrow will be the sixth game of the series, Qin Hao narrowed his eyes, his eyes shone fiercely, and said the same words as Coach Luke: "We must win the sixth game."

......

Day two, Wachovia Center Arena.

What this game means today is self-evident. Whether this series will be dragged into the tiebreaker, or it will end there, and the 76ers will advance, it depends on this game.

Therefore, this game attracted a lot of attention, and the attendance rate in the audience was also very high, almost full, and more than 20,000 fans came to watch the game.

Of course there are some famous people among them.

One of them was particularly eye-catching, causing screams from the surrounding area, and many fans looked here with excitement and excitement on their faces.

"I didn't expect Jordan to come too."

"He was at the Bulls' home court in Game 5. Today's game is extremely critical, and it's not surprising that he's here."

Sitting close to the court was a tall man, smiling and calm. He was the "God of Basketball", Michael Jordan!
