76ers training arena.

At the end of the day's training, the players left separately.

Qin Hao, Butler and Xiaoka stayed as usual for a day of extra training.

This has become a habit, and the three people make progress together and each carry out their own targeted training.

After more than an hour, the three stopped, and after a short rest, they began to reserve the program-heads-up.

Qin Hao stood on the court and waved at the two of them: "Who will come first?"

"I'll go first." Butler smiled and went on the court first.

"You attack." Qin Hao threw the ball to him.

Butler grinned, started offense, changed direction continuously, then stopped abruptly, and made a fall-back jumper.

Huh!

The ball is scored.

"One." Butler grinned.

"Continue." Qin Hao waved at him.

Butler scored all the next few goals, and in a blink of an eye the score has become 6:0.

However, on the seventh ball, Qin Hao interfered with Butler's shot. Butler hit the iron, waved annoyedly, and threw the ball to Qin Hao.

"It's time for me." Qin Hao smiled and started to attack, first making a tentative step, and then raising the ball to make a three-pointer.

Butler didn't dare to jump off rashly, and didn't dare to let Qin Hao make a shot. He still stepped forward and raised one hand as much as possible to block Qin Hao's sight.

But Qin Hao didn't make a three-pointer, but an acceleration. He took two steps forward, not fast, waiting for Butler to catch up.

At this moment, Qin Hao paused, leaning against Butler with his back, forcing the opponent to stagger, and Qin Hao jumped up and took a mid-range shot.

Huh!

The ball is scored.

For the second ball, Qin Hao chose to make a jump shot after the breakthrough, with a little backwards, leaving Butler helpless and could only watch the ball score.

After a few **** came down in a blink of an eye, Qin Hao mostly used mid-range shots, and two chose to break through and layup directly.

For a time, the score became 7:6, and Qin Hao scored one more.

At the eighth time, Qin Hao still chose a fall-back jumper with a bit of elegance, but failed to make a hit.

Butler got the ball back, but only scored two, and was defended by Qin Hao in the third, and the score became 8:7.

But this time the ball returned to Qin Hao's hands, Butler had no chance, and Qin Hao ended this round of heads-up with 10:8.

After that, the small card goes up.

The result was still the same, Qin Hao defeated Xiaoka by 10:8.

Although Butler and Xiaoka both scored 8 goals and only lost to Qin Hao by two, they both knew in their hearts that the gap between them was more than that.

You know, in these two rounds of heads-up, Qin Hao's goals were almost all mid-range shots, or breakthrough layups, without three-pointers.

The three-pointer is his killer.

Then Butler played another game with Kaka, the result was still 10:8, Butler won.

"Unfortunately, I almost stopped the ball in the end." Xiaoka said unwillingly.

"Cut, you were dreaming." Butler curled his lips, too lazy to argue with Xiaoka, turned his head to look at Qin Hao, frowned, and said, "Qin, in fact, you don't have to sacrifice yourself like this. Although you do everything. I didn’t say it, but I can see that you and the coach must have an agreement. During this period of time, you gave up your playing time, and when you were on the court, you often played with the rotation lineup. This was to give me and Little card."

"Yeah." Xiaoka looked guilty and scratched his head and said: "I heard some people were already scolding Coach Luke, and there were rumors that our team had infighting, and Jimmy and I united to usurp the throne."

Qin Hao rolled his eyes. I didn't even think about making you the prince. What kind of position would you take?

Qin Hao knew that there was no way to hide it. The intention was too obvious, let alone Butler and Xiaoka, even the other players on the team had already noticed it.

"I have my consideration on this matter." Qin Hao said: "Indeed, I want to give you a chance to be yours alone, so that you have more opportunities to experience and become stronger."

"No one knows you better than I, and no one knows your potential better than me. You have every opportunity to become a superstar, even a superstar."

"But because of me, it is difficult for you to have the opportunity of George and Curry to become the absolute core of a team. For the time being, the impact is not big, but when your progress reaches a bottleneck, this is a kind of shackles. ."

As he said, Qin Hao looked at Butler: "Jimmy, I believe you have realized it."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoka also looked at Butler.

Butler frowned and was silent for a while before he replied: "Yes, I have felt it...well, that's the kind of bottleneck you said. I tried hard to fight better. I want to become stronger, but I am always a little bit short of it, I just can't do it."

Butler really started to rise last season.

This season, Butler broke out completely, his scoring average has soared, and his performance on the field has also improved significantly. Now his scoring average has reached 25.6 points, in addition to 5.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, which has reached a bottleneck. .

Originally, Butler thought that his talent was just like that, so no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult for him to go further and reach the height of Qin Hao.

Hearing what Qin Hao said now, he suddenly realized that perhaps it was not a problem of talent, but that external conditions did not allow it.

The team has Qin Hao. He lacks the opportunity to be alone, lacks the opportunity to lead the team to defeat each and every strong enemy alone, and lacks the opportunity to stand up at a critical moment...

This is a kind of shackles.

This is also a problem with superstars grouping, and the 76ers are different from the Heat. When the Heat's Big Three are grouped together, each has fully grown up, but the Philadelphia three are still in the process of growing up.

For comparison, it's more like the Thunder.

Why did the Thunder eventually fall apart?

Harden's departure is just the team's unwillingness to keep him?

Not only these.

Harden’s departure is related to the team and Harden’s wishes. He needs to grow. He wants to evolve. It is obviously better to stay with the Thunder and be the "sixth man" than to be the core of the Rockets and only leave. He can transform.

The same goes for the 76ers. Butler and Kaka need a condition if they want to change.

Either Qin Hao sacrificed himself and created conditions for them; or they left the 76ers and, like Harden, became the boss of other teams and completed the transformation.

Qin Hao grabbed the shoulders of the two of them and said, "I don't want your potential to be buried, and I don't want you to leave. As for the sacrifice I made... We are brothers, so these are what I should do. of."

Upon hearing this, the two were moved.

Little Kamune opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Butler patted Qin Hao's back, grinning suddenly, and said freely: "I won't go anyway, you don't want to leave me. For so many years, I have only played with you the happiest. What. Superstars, superstars, I don’t care, I just want to play with you."
