Basketball Myth: Super Guard

A group of Cleveland State players looked at the coach, and the coach looked at them, and the two sides looked at each other for a while, a little depressed.

Originally, Coach Hayes felt that even if there was a gap in strength with Syracuse University, he didn't have players like Qin Hao and Butler on his side, but Syracuse University didn't have the height in the inside line, at least he should be able to gain the upper hand in the inside line.

But now...

"It's not just that the outside line can't get the upper hand, but even the inside line." Coach Hayes sighed inwardly. The most terrifying thing is not that the opponent has stars like Qin Hao and Butler, or how sharp the opponent's counterattack is, but it seems that his own There is no advantage in either position.

There is no advantage at all, how can you fight?

In the end, Coach Hayes took a deep breath and said, "We have to run more, pass more, and play our tactics, understand?"

"Understood." A group of players responded in unison.

But Coach Hayes could tell from their voices that they didn't have much confidence.

Coach Hayes can't do anything about this. He can encourage players and motivate players, but it will only be effective when the gap between the strengths of the two sides is not large.

Now the opponent has three dunks in a row at the beginning of the game, playing 6:0, and the strength gap between the two sides is obviously large. The players naturally understand where this is.

In this case, what he said was useless.

Syracuse University here.

Coach Fox's expression was serious, but he didn't relax. He nodded approvingly at the players, and said, "Just play like this, we've done a good job in defense, we must keep defending well and fight back more often."

"Yes." Qin Hao and the others agreed loudly.

Pause ends soon.

The two sides returned to the court, and Cleveland State began to stop blindly attacking the interior and began to play team tactics, constantly moving and passing the ball.

That's what they're good at, they're a team attacking team in their own right.

As a result, Cleveland State broke the scoring drought, but they still couldn't defend against Syracuse on the defensive end.

boom!

Cleveland State University missed a shot, and Jefferson got the rebound and passed it to Qin Hao.

"GO!"

Qin Hao shouted and rushed forward quickly.

A defender pounced on him, but Qin Hao dribbled the ball behind him, then crossed the center line, hit the three-point line, and looked like he was going straight to the basket.

The players from Cleveland State University have just returned to their own half, and they haven't set up their defense yet. Seeing this situation, they all run inside and want to stop Qin Hao.

At this moment, Qin Hao scored the ball and gave it to the 45-degree three-point line on the left side. Butler stood there, and the ball was a three-point shot.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

After more than a minute, Qin Hao gave the ball to his teammates, and then ran back suddenly. Referring to the on-line Jefferson, he turned sideways and set a screen for Qin Hao. Qin Hao got rid of the defender and came to the 30-degree three-point line on the left. In addition, Tucker passed the ball to Qin Hao, and Qin Hao made a three-pointer.

Also enter.

In addition to Qin Hao and Butler, Felton, Tucker, and Jefferson were also scoring. Syracuse University's offense was very fast and extremely sharp. Absolutely impossible to guard against.

Of course, there are times when Syracuse University doesn't get into.

For example, Qin Hao missed a fallback jumper and failed to make a pull-up three-pointer. Butler's impact on the inside was interfered by the opponent and missed. Fortunately, he caused the opponent to foul, but he only scored one free throw, and Tucker made a three-pointer. The ball failed to hit, but a cut layup was made...

And these are nothing to coach Fox, very normal things, the team's overall hit rate exceeds 50%, which is already very good.

"Well, I played well today." Coach Fox nodded slowly.

"Yeah." Assistant Coach Harry laughed: "Although some balls were not made, most of the open balls were scored with good chances. And we played for seven minutes in the first half, and we didn't make a single mistake. It's really hard to come by."

This is also what pleases Coach Fox, which shows that the players are very focused today, and entering the tournament, it is very important to focus on the game.

It is also because there were no mistakes in seven minutes and the game was very smooth, so Coach Fox has not made any substitutions.

"beep......"

After all, Coach Hayes couldn't hold it and called another timeout. After all, Cleveland State University was 10 points behind.

in the audience.

"Syracuse played really well today, everyone played well."

"Only seven minutes into the first half, Syracuse University is already leading by double digits. This should be Syracuse University's 'tournament mode', right?"

Several fans sighed.

A fan next to him was wearing Qin Hao's jersey and holding the slogan "Syracuse University must win". At first glance, he looked like an old iron. He nodded in agreement and said, "I will play every game of Syracuse University. Yes, it's a bit different from the regular season."

Others also joined in.

This difference does not mean that the players of Syracuse University did not exert their full strength during the league game, and only showed their full level at this time, but that their promotion status is unmatched in the league game.

The two sides began to make substitutions and entered the rotation time...

......

In a blink of an eye, the game has entered the second half, and just after the second half, Syracuse University has extended its lead to 13 points.

Whether it is the main lineup or the bench lineup, Syracuse University has an absolute advantage.

In particular, Syracuse University's competitive state was very good today. On the other hand, Cleveland State University, perhaps because they were stunned by Syracuse University at the beginning of the game, their competitive state was not good throughout the game. In comparison, it is not surprising that Cleveland State University is a dozen points behind.

"Coach." Assistant Harry looked at the court and asked Coach Fox, "Any substitution?"

At this time, the team leads by 13 points and has always had the advantage. It seems that it has little to do with Qin Hao and Butler.

Coach Fox didn't think so, he said decisively: "Change. No game can be taken lightly, and you must go all out, even if you are ahead by more than ten points."

Subsequently, Fox coach substitutions, the main players will be gradually replaced.

As a result, after a few minutes, Cleveland State is completely hopeless, because the point difference has become larger.

It was not until there were only four minutes left in the game and the score difference had widened to 16 points that Coach Fox replaced Qin Hao and Butler and gradually replaced them with the bench.

Only at this time is it really safe, Qin Hao and Butler's absence on the court has little effect.

Finally, when the game was over, the score was 90:78, and Syracuse University defeated Cleveland State University by 12 points and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Midwest Division.
