Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"Shh!"

With a soft click, Butler made a three-pointer.

This is the game between Syracuse University and Purdue University. The venue is Syracuse University's home court. The audience is full of Syracuse University fans. At this time, the fans stood up and cheered loudly.

Coach Fox and Assistant Coach Harry sat on the bench with a relaxed expression. Coach Harry smiled and praised: "Jimmy's three-pointer is getting more and more confident."

Now Butler's three-pointers are not stable enough, not as good as Qin Hao, and a little worse than Holbert, but he is more and more confident in his shots.

This is a kind of progress.

More than a minute later, Qin Hao scored a sudden point, passed the ball without looking at anyone, and gave the ball to Holbert who was outside the three-point line in the left bottom corner. Holbert made a three-pointer.

When this three-pointer hit, Purdue University had to call a timeout, and at this time the difference between the two sides had reached 11 points, and Purdue University was 11 points behind.

"Damn." The coach of Purdue University scolded the players with a black face, "I told you to guard against three-pointers, guard against three-pointers, how did you guard, and let the opponent make so many three-pointers?"

Several players bowed their heads and looked helpless.

Syracuse University has Qin Hao and Butler. They are both very capable. Qin Hao is fast and Butler is tough. The two have height and bounce. , No one is going to help defend the containment, scoring is the most important thing.

And once they shrink their defense, chances are bound to leak from beyond the arc.

This is a dilemma.

"Remember, wait for a good three-pointer defense." The Purdue University coach urged in a deep voice.

"Yes." Several players responded, very unconvinced.

Purdue University is not a strong team, but they did not expect Syracuse University to be so strong. The game has already reached the second half, and the second half has passed by more than eight points. One of them was suppressed by Syracuse University, and the difference was 11 points. It made them breathless.

Syracuse University here.

Coach Fox praised the crowd with a smile, and then re-arranged: "We have to make more breakthroughs later, and we can get points if we can get points, and we don't have to shoot three-pointers."

"Um."

"clear."

The players all agree.

After the last game, Coach Fox discussed with several assistant coaches for a long time, developed a "three-point tactical system", and after a few days of training, got it to test in today's game.

The effect is not bad. After all, with breakthrough players like Qin Hao and Butler, there will definitely be many opportunities beyond the three-point line.

Today, Holbert's three-pointer is not as good as the last game. In the last game, he made five three-pointers. Today, he made 2 of 5 shots and only scored two.

But the others felt good. Butler scored two, White scored one, Felton scored one, even Brother Pingtou scored one, and Qin Hao scored three, which is a normal performance.

After Coach Fox finished, the timeout was over.

When the players came to the court, Holbert said to Qin Hao, "Qin, you should actually shoot one more three-pointer. You only shot five times today. With your three-pointer level, it's too few."

With the passage of time, Holbert has gradually adapted to his current role. He is very clear that he is no longer in charge of the team, and he can only be Qin Hao and Butler's assistant.

During this period of time, neither Qin Hao nor Butler deliberately courted him, and Holbert didn't find it strange. After all, the roles had changed, and he could only take the initiative to court Qin Hao and Butler. He is also trying to do this, but there is still the last stubbornness and self-esteem in his heart, which makes him unable to be like other players.

"It doesn't matter, if nothing else happens, we will win today. It doesn't matter how many threes I shoot, how many points I get." Qin Hao is quite satisfied with Holbert's transformation, and he doesn't ask Holbert Become as dog-legged as Pingtou brother.

Seek common ground while reserving differences.

Qin Hao didn't make many shots today, and he didn't make many three-pointers, but his hit rate was very high.

Because his teammates are playing well, Qin Hao doesn't need to score many points. He is now playing a point guard. When his teammates are strong, he is more focused on organization.

So although Qin Hao has only scored 14 points so far today, he has already had 8 assists, and it is not a big problem to have assists in double figures.

In the next few minutes, Purdue strengthened the defense of the three-point line, but the inside was blown up.

Purdue University does not have the twin towers of the University of Tennessee, and it can't prevent Qin Hao and Butler's breakthroughs. From time to time, Jefferson will show off his signature stunt "little hook" in the inside line, making Purdue University's inside line completely changed. became a disaster area.

After a few minutes, the difference did not narrow, but opened up another 3 points, turning Syracuse University into a 14-point lead.

"We won this game today." Coach Fox smiled and replaced Qin Hao, Butler, and Kent Qiqi with substitute players.

Two minutes later, seeing the game completely lost its suspense, Purdue University has gradually replaced the main players, raised their hands and surrendered, and Coach Fox also replaced Holbert and Jefferson.

When the game ended, the score was 86:76, and Syracuse University defeated Purdue University by 10 points to win the second victory of the preseason.

In this game, Qin Hao scored 18 points, plus 11 assists, another double-double, Butler 21 points, Holbert 19 points, everyone else scored, and the win was easy.

Some time after that, Syracuse played three more preseason games.

In addition to Purdue University, the opponents in these three games have two other teams. Syracuse University is equivalent to playing two games with Purdue University, one home game and one away game. The other two teams are not in home and away games. They only played against Syracuse University once, and the game was not intense. It was just an ordinary warm-up match.

In the four games, Syracuse University has won all four games, including the previous victory over the University of Tennessee, and won five consecutive preseason victories.

These few games have also made Syracuse University gradually enter the state of the game, and the team's new system has gradually been established. With Qin Hao and Butler as the core, Holbert and others assisted, the team's starting lineup has The combat power has risen more than one level from before.

At the same time, for the backup lineup, Coach Fox was handed over to Assistant Coach Harry. Every day, Assistant Coach Harry would focus on Brother Flathead, White, Felton, Ellis and others to urge them to improve.

Assistant Coach Harry has not given up on Cole, and is doing Cole's psychological counseling work, hoping that Cole can get back on his feet.

In short, in the one-month preseason stage, after six preseason games, everything for the team is developing in a good direction.

The Oranges are looking forward to the upcoming regular season.

Heading into January, the preseason has come to an end, and every ncaa team is in real game form because the regular season begins!
