After a day off, Xiaoka can barely walk with a protective gear on. Coach Luke originally told him to stay in Philadelphia to recuperate from his injury, but he was unwilling and insisted on rushing to the away game with the team. .

Soon, the 76ers came to Milwaukee to challenge the Bucks.

The Bucks' young players have grown this season. Antetokounmpo and Middleton have both become starters, but the core of the team is still Brandon Wright and McAway.

The team's record is not bad. It is currently ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference. After all, it has entered the top eight in the Eastern Conference and has a chance to enter the playoffs.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the game officially started.

In terms of strength, the Bucks are of course not the opponents of the 76ers, but the 76ers' injury to the small card has a great impact on the team.

Coach Luke can only send regular lineups such as Nene, Speights, Butler, Lu Wei, and Qin Hao, giving up the "big one and four small".

Judging from the lineup, it is actually not weak. After all, there are still two giants.

It's just that the players are used to the "big one and four small". At this time, it is somewhat unaccustomed to change to the regular lineup, and there are many mistakes in the offense. In the end, they can only rely on the personal abilities of Qin Hao and Butler, which has become a 2-on-5 game. situation.

Under such circumstances, the 76ers naturally fell into a disadvantage. Although Qin Hao and Butler scored points in the last quarter, they fell behind too much before and could not catch up.

In the end, the score was fixed at 106:111, and the 76ers lost the game.

"The Sixers lost, they lost to the Bucks."

"It's not surprising, after all, without Leonard, the 76ers always need a time to adapt."

"The next game is against the Heat..."

For a time, people were talking about it, and they couldn't help worrying about the 76ers.

......

On the plane to Miami.

Xiaoka had trouble falling asleep and was depressed. If it wasn't for his injury, he would definitely have no problem playing against a team like the Bucks.

"Okay." Qin Hao smiled and hugged his shoulders, "It's just one game, we are still second in the East, and it's not that we can't afford to lose. Don't think about anything, just take care of your injuries."

"Yeah." Kakashi nodded.

After a few hours of flying, the Sixers arrived in Miami.

On the day off, the 76ers ushered in a game against the Heat.

The two sides have met once before, and the 76ers won, but this time the Heat won.

This time, the 76ers' starting lineup is actually not bad. Qin Hao and Butler are stable, and Speights, Nene, and Lu Wei are also good.

But the bench lineup is a bit of a stretch.

This is also related to the lack of small cards. After the lack of small cards, Speights was put into the starting lineup, and there were vacancies in the bench lineup. There are only a few regular rotations, only Sessions and Curry are left. As for the other three, Jason Smith, Mike Beasley, Darnell Arthur, Jason Smith played a little more, and the other two have become marginal.

In fact, it's not that Coach Luke didn't give them a chance, but the three of them have been playing badly.

At the beginning of the season, it can be said that they just came to the team and needed time to integrate into the team’s system, but then half of the regular season passed, and they still pulled their hips.

This is not a question of integration.

In desperation, Coach Luke had to adopt a strategy of eight-nine rotations, that is, Qin Hao, Butler, Xiaoka, Lu Wei, Nene, Speights, Curry, Sessions, and one more. Jason Smith.

As for Mike Beasley and Darnell Arthur, they only play a few minutes occasionally, or in garbage time.

Oh, and Neto and Les.

This belongs to the water cooler caretaker.

Now that there is a lack of small cards, Speights is on the starting lineup, and the bench is getting more and more nervous. Coach Luke can only use Beasley and Arthur, but it is not easy to use. He tried Netu, Rice, etc., but the results were still not good.

Of course, another reason is that after the lack of small cards, the bench lineup is sometimes led by few people.

In the past, Coach Luke has always let Xiaoka and Butler lead the bench lineup respectively, and there must be at least one "giant" on the court at any time to ensure the competitiveness of rotation time.

But now that there is no small card, it is impossible for Butler to have a bench lineup all the time, right?

As a result, for a period of time, there were no giants on the field, and only relying on pure substitute lineups, at most Lou Wei, had limited effect.

What's more, this is not a simple personnel adjustment problem, but also considers the cooperation between players, tacit understanding, etc...

"drop......"

A game down, the 76ers lost to the Heat.

Qin Hao scored 32 points and Butler scored 27 points. As a result, the bench pulled his hips, and the 76ers lost in the end.

The 76ers suffered a two-game losing streak after Kawhi was injured.

Fortunately, the next opponent is the Hornets.

......

After the game with the Heat, the 76ers rush to the next road game overnight and will face the Hornets back-to-back.

Although it is a back-to-back game, the Hornets are not strong, and it will be easier for the 76ers.

At 8:30 p.m., the Hornets' home court.

The game has reached the second quarter.

On the field, the Hornets hit the iron, Nene grabbed the rebound and passed it to Qin Hao, Qin Hao immediately launched a counterattack with the ball, and the speed was full, like a whirlwind, and in a blink of an eye, it reached the Hornets' half court, throwing several Hornets. The players were taken aback.

"too fast."

"Stop him now..."

The home fans shouted loudly.

The Hornets players also rushed towards Qin Hao, but there was no way to stop Qin Hao.

I saw Qin Hao hug the ball and take a step forward. When he took the second step, he slowed down a little bit. He hit the defender with his body and knocked the opponent back a step.

At this time, Qin Hao lifted the ball. After fighting against the opponent, he did not lose his bounce. He cleverly borrowed strength, but it was more relaxed. He grabbed the basketball with his right hand and dunked it towards the basket.

Bang!

A blast silenced the home fans.

......

After a moment.

The Hornets players used the pick-and-roll screen to get rid of Qin Hao to break through, but Qin Hao caught up from behind and threw the ball away with a quick poke. Then Qin Hao turned around and ran to the frontcourt. A flick, still forward.

The ball arrives, the people arrive.

Qin Hao reached out and grabbed the basketball. At this time, the Hornets players had not crossed the center line, and could only watch Qin Hao perform a shocking dunk again.

The dunk directly stopped the Hornets.

With just over a minute left in the second quarter, the Sixers led by as much as 13 points.

Today, Qin Hao was full of firepower, reducing the number of passes and increasing his personal shots. He had already scored 24 points and 5 rebounds in the first half.

This is also an adjustment of Qin Hao.

Since the lineup is missing, it is difficult to make up for the problems caused by the lack of small cards in a short period of time, so you can only rely on your own personal ability to support the team.

He has to go all out to score!
