Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"Holbert."

Seeing that Holbert was still stunned, Jefferson shouted: "Back to defense."

"Oh." Holbert came back to his senses, knowing that this was not the time to think wildly, and quickly ran to his own half.

The University of Tennessee attacked, Kenny came to the frontcourt and asked for a pick-and-roll, then broke the ball and passed it to Josh, but Josh didn’t play it himself, but went outside, pulled people away, and then passed it to Phil Ertz, Fields took the ball and backed up, took two steps back, and turned over to shoot.

Swish!

The ball scored, 90:86, and the University of Tennessee led by 4 points.

In the next few rounds, neither side was able to score, and the game time became less and less.

Qin Hao stood up for singles, attacked the inside line, and scored against Scott's defense. Scott did not foul and controlled his movements. He knew very well that even if Qin Hao scored at this time, he would take another foul than himself. , it is better to be sent off.

Although Scott and Fields both received 4 fouls and had to restrain their defensive actions, as long as they stayed on the inside, it was a deterrent.

boom!

With a muffled sound, Holbert's shot struck again.

"Damn." Holbert scolded secretly and patted his head. His heart was a little messy, and so was his mind.

This affected his state. He failed to score a three-point shot and a pull-up jumper, which was a waste of opportunity.

When there were only a few seconds left in the game, the University of Tennessee was 4 points ahead.

This time, Syracuse University failed to perform a miracle again. Qin Hao made a three-pointer and failed to hit, but Butler hit the inside line and caused Fields' foul, but at this time, did Fields graduate with five fouls? It doesn't matter anymore.

Butler walked to the free throw line and hit one of two free throws. The first one scored, the second missed, and the difference was reduced to only 3 points left.

However, this three-pointer has become the final gully. In front of Syracuse University, Tennessee University sticks to the three-point line and does not give Syracuse University a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

Especially for Qin Hao, they directly used double-teaming, because they were not afraid of leaking people, even if they missed others because of double-teaming Qin Hao, as long as they defended Butler and Holbert, Jefferson and Kent in the inside would not be able to make three-pointers. Yes, it doesn't matter if they take a two.

boom!

Overtime ended when Jefferson hit the final shot.

The score was 92:89, and the University of Tennessee won!

"pity."

"Hey, I still lost."

"I'm really not reconciled. I finally dragged in overtime, but I still lost."

In the audience, the fans felt very sorry. Originally dragged into overtime, they saw the hope of winning, but the result... still lost.

The players at Syracuse University were also very disappointed and unwilling. Butler complained angrily that his free throws were too unstable. Jefferson lowered his head and felt guilty for not making the last ball. Holbert said nothing, and his heart was still very high. Chaos, in 5 minutes of overtime, he made two shots, and the chances were good, but he didn't make a shot...

"Huh." Qin Hao exhaled. He didn't make the three-pointer, so he knew that the game was going to be lost. However, at this point, he just silently told himself, "I want to become stronger!"

Not far away, Josh, Fields and other University of Tennessee players gathered together, and there was not much joy after winning on their faces.

Because this game was actually completely out of their expectations, they thought they would be able to beat Syracuse University and easily win this preseason without having to exert all their strength.

But in the end, because of Qin Hao and Butler, they had to go all out, and even so, they were dragged into overtime.

Even though I won in the end, it wasn't easy to win.

This can only be regarded as a narrow victory, winning is dangerous, and there is nothing to be happy about.

In the end, under the leadership of their respective coaches, the players from both sides hugged and paid tribute to each other. When Josh and others hugged Qin Hao and Butler, they were in a complicated mood, with a bit of dread in their eyes, because they will meet at home in two days. To the challenge of Syracuse University, the two teams will fight again.

The University of Tennessee player left.

The fans also left.

......

The Syracuse University players returned to the locker room, and the atmosphere was no longer so oppressive.

Everyone suddenly remembered that Qin Hao seemed to have scored 27 points today, the highest scorer in the team. In addition, he had 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Butler also scored 22 points, plus 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal. , 1 block, two people came off the bench, but both scored 20+, how rare?

"Qin played really well today, the three-point shot was too accurate."

"Jimmy is also great."

The players looked at Qin Hao and Butler, their eyes lit up.

Although they lost today's game, Qin Hao and Butler are so good, they may not have a chance to win back when they play the University of Tennessee again next time.

click!

The locker room was pushed open and Coach Fox walked in.

"coach."

"coach."

The players shouted.

Coach Fox nodded, looked at Qin Hao and Butler, and praised: "Qin, and Jimmy, you played very well today." After speaking, he glanced at Cole and said, "I decided to start today. , with Jimmy as the starting small forward."

Everyone is not surprised, this is a matter of course, but they all look at Qin Hao. Butler is the starting small forward. What about Qin Hao?

Holbert also looked at Qin Hao, feeling a little uneasy, when he heard Coach Fox say: "In addition, Qin is the starting point guard, Felton, you can only play as a substitute in the future."

"Haha, it's okay." Felton was in a good mood and smiled: "I don't feel ashamed to substitute Qin."

"Haha..." The crowd laughed.

Holbert breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't lose his starting position. He thought that he and Qin Hao could only keep one. Either he would become a substitute, or Qin Hao would continue to be a substitute.

It is not without reason why he thinks this way, because Holbert is very clear about his relationship with Qin Hao. For more than a month, the two sides have been unabashedly hostile.

In this case, putting him and Qin Hao together and starting at the same time does not seem to be a good choice, and it is difficult to coexist.

Yet the result is this.

Coach Fox glanced at Holbert, but didn't say anything, clapped his hands and said: "We lost today, I know you are all unwilling, and I am also very unwilling. But it doesn't matter, there is another game, two days. Then we'll go to Knoxville and play each other on the road. In two days' time, I hope we can beat Tennessee. Tell me, are you confident?"

"Yes." Everyone shouted in unison.

"Very good." Coach Fox smiled and glanced at Qin Hao, Butler, and other players, in a good mood.

This is the team he wants!
