Basketball Myth: Super Guard

For a time, trade rumors lingered on the 76ers.

Hawes and Nosinho cried all day long. They had accepted their fate, and now they worry about not knowing which team they will be traded to.

Even Holiday was absent-minded during training and kept making mistakes.

There were rumors before that the team would trade Hawes and Nosinho, but the two of them are obviously not enough, and they have to take Holiday to get a strong insider.

It is not unreasonable to have such rumors.

During this period of time, Qin Hao played better and better, but Holiday's performance was unsatisfactory. Although he played well in a few games, his average points per game remained above 10 points, which was comparable to the previous average of 14+6+4. Compared to now, it has indeed dropped a lot.

In addition, Qin Hao is very popular now, he has already made a "number two show", and he has also overturned the No. 1 pick of Wall. He is making an impact on the best rookie. Recently, his average performance of 20+5+5 per game is really impressive. People are amazed.

This has even exceeded people's expectations of him.

In the game of the 76ers, Qin Hao's importance has also surpassed that of Holiday, and there is a saying that "not a starter is better than a starter".

So Holiday had to worry that he would be traded, just to make room for Qin Hao.

Some reporters have come to inquire about the news, but this time the 76ers management remained silent, and Stefanski did not hold a press conference to clarify.

In this depressed atmosphere, the 76ers rushed to the away game to challenge the Clippers.

At this time in 2010, the Nets had not moved to New York, so Los Angeles was still the only city with two NBA teams at the same time, and the Clippers and Lakers were not only in the same city, but also shared the same arena, which is Staples Arena.

The Clippers are also a team with a long history. They were founded in 1970 and joined the NBA. However, they have never won a championship in 40 years. Compared with their brothers in the same city, the Lakers are a bit bleak and less well-known. Even some people only know that there is a Lakers team in Los Angeles, but they don't know that the Clippers are also a team in Los Angeles.

But after all, in the bustling city of Los Angeles, the Clippers still enjoy some benefits, and the attendance rate will be much higher than that of some teams in small markets.

Especially this season.

This season, Griffin can finally play for the Clippers after a one-year hiatus, and his debut is the peak. This season, he can average 21 points per game, in addition to 11 assists, an average of 21+11 data, He immediately became the team's leading scorer and rebounder.

With Griffin's outstanding performance, the Clippers captured a lot of fans, not to mention that today is the Clippers vs. 76ers, the showdown between Griffin and Qin Hao is a highlight.

As the top two players on the rookie list this year, and they each played very good statistics and performances, there are many fans who like them, and more fans pay attention to this game.

6 p.m. Staples Arena.

There were tens of thousands of fans in the auditorium, and the attendance rate had exceeded 60%, which was already a good attendance rate for the Clippers game.

At this moment, the game has not yet started, and the sound in the arena is noisy, all of which are the chatter of the fans.

"Can they win today?"

"This is hard to say. The 76ers have a poor record this season, and the Clippers are not much better. They are now ranked 12th in the Western Conference. In terms of overall strength, there is not much difference between the two teams. I don't care about this either. I just came to see Qin and Griffin duel."

"I'm also looking forward to their duel. Griffin has played very well this season, averaging 20+10 per game, which is completely an All-Star-level insider stat. But Qin has also played very well, especially recently. , averaging 20+5+5 per game, not worse than Griffin. I just don’t know who they are against today, who can play better?”

The biggest gimmick in today's game is Qin Hao vs. Griffin. In the eyes of many fans, this is the "Best Rookie Battle".

Suddenly, the auditorium became noisy.

Players from both sides came on the field, the visiting team players came first, and the 76ers players walked out of the player tunnel one after another, ushered in boos from the home fans.

However, there are also some 76ers fans, especially Qin Hao's fans, many of whom are Chinese settled in the Los Angeles area, and they are cheering for Qin Hao.

In the hearts of Chinese Americans, Yao Ming naturally occupies an important position, but they still like Kobe, Iverson, Durant, James, Wade and these players, because Yao Ming's playing style is too simple, not explosive enough, and not as good to watch. these players.

And Yao Ming's 226cm height also makes it difficult for ordinary people to find resonance.

Yao Ming is like a giant, and he has a natural sense of distance from them. They can't learn Yao Ming's skills, and they can't copy Yao Ming's playing style.

So you can often see some people on the street court imitating Kobe, Wade, Tracy McGrady, Iverson... But you rarely see anyone who imitates Yao Ming to play.

The appearance of Qin Hao filled this gap.

Although Qin Hao's height of 198cm is still very high compared to ordinary people, in the NBA, which is as tall as a forest, this is actually a "normal height", and it is easier to be recognized by fans.

There is also Qin Hao's playing style, sharp breakthroughs, accurate three-pointers, excellent passes, and explosive dunks... always make fans scream, and be conquered by him and become his fan.

"Qin Hao, Qin Hao..."

In the audience, many fans shouted Qin Hao's name.

This makes the 76ers players very envious. Whether it is home or away, wherever he goes, Qin Hao will have many fans, at least the Chinese are almost all his fans.

Moments later, the home team players came out.

Ryan Gomez, Ryan Gomez, Eric Bledsoe, DeAndre Jordan, Eric Gordon, Baron Davis, Blake Griffin... .

The Clippers players came on stage one after another, causing the audience to cheer loudly, and the huge sound echoed in the Staples Arena.

Especially Griffin, when he came out, the cheers were at their peak.

From the cheers of the home fans you can tell who is the most popular player in the arena.

Qin Hao looked at the Clippers players and glanced at Griffin. He felt a fierce fighting spirit in the other's eyes. Obviously, Griffin also regarded him as his biggest competitor.

In a group of players, Qin Hao also saw an acquaintance - Eric Bledsoe.

In the ncaa final, Syracuse University vs. University of Kentucky, Bledsoe was a member of the University of Kentucky, and was teammates with Wall and Cousins.

Bledsoe also participated in the draft this year and was selected by the Thunder with the 18th overall pick in the first round, but was then traded to the Clippers.
