Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Before I knew it, more than six minutes had passed in the first half.

Syracuse University was still ahead, and Coach Fox began to make substitutions, replacing the main players one after another to rest and replace them with substitutes.

Holbert and Felton were replaced, and Qin Hao and Butler remained on the court.

This is a commonly used substitution method at Syracuse University. The team no longer plays "run-and-gun", and Qin Hao and Butler stay on the court to ensure the offense.

At the same time, USC also made substitutions.

DeRozan and Gibson remained on the court, and they carried the offensive banner. Syracuse University relied on Qin Hao and Butler, and USC relied on DeRozan and Gibson.

"Pick-and-roll." DeRozan asked for a pick-and-roll.

Gibson mentioned the pick-and-roll on the line. DeRozan took the opportunity to shake off Qin Hao and move to the right. Jefferson made up the defense. Facing Jefferson's defense, DeRozan made a fallback jumper.

Although DeRozan was scoring and Gibson was scoring, USC was always behind because Qin Hao and Butler were also scoring, and they had 3-pointers.

Gibson is an inside player, scoring mainly inside. Although DeRozan is an outside player, he likes to shoot in the middle, and his three-pointers are very unstable.

So even if you score one, I will score one, but USC scored a two-pointer, Syracuse University scored a three-pointer, and the gap came out.

"beep......"

Moments later, Coach Singer replaced DeRozan and Gibson.

On the side of Syracuse University, Coach Fox quickly replaced Qin Hao and Butler and asked them to rest.

"Qin, I now know why you keep urging me to practice three-pointers." Butler put his arms around Qin Hao's shoulders and said gratefully: "If you hadn't been urging me to practice three-pointers, I'm afraid I would be with Germany now. Like Rozan, he may be able to score, but because the three-point shot is not stable enough, the scoring method is limited, and the scoring efficiency will be greatly reduced."

"It's good to know." Qin Hao said with a smile: "I can tell you for sure that the three-point shot will become more and more important in the future, and you must continue to practice."

Butler raised his eyebrows and nodded.

He never doubted Qin Hao's words, because he never missed it.

"Syracuse University is very strong." Alan Houston and Humphrey were sitting in the auditorium, he looked at the rest area of ​​Syracuse University, his eyes fell on Qin Hao and Butler, and said: "Qin Hao and Butler It's also really good, as you said."

"I never tell lies," Humphrey laughed.

Alan Houston nodded and suddenly said, "Humphrey, Butler seems to be a sophomore this year, right? Do you think he has ever thought about participating in this year's NBA draft?"

Humphrey froze for a moment and couldn't help frowning.

From Alan Houston's words, he was keenly aware of a problem. Alan Houston seemed to favor Butler over Qin Hao.

But didn't they pay attention today to observe Qin Hao?

"I'm mostly worried that Qin, as a Chinese player and a defender, lacks confidence in his future." Humphrey sighed, but still replied: "I don't know that either. But it's not difficult to know this, as long as we Get in touch with Butler to find out."

"Well." Alan Houston nodded, shook his head again, and said for no reason, "Forget it. Unfortunately, we only have one draft pick this year."

The Knicks have only one draft pick this year, a protected first-round pick in the lottery and, with luck, even a top-three pick.

In Alan Houston's view, although Qin Hao and Butler are excellent, they are not worth his price to choose them.

Later, Alan Houston looked at the USC rest area and looked at DeRozan from a distance. He was actually very interested in DeRozan...

on the field.

Both sides sent substitute players, and Vucevic finally got the chance to play.

Because he was a freshman this season, and he missed 8 games due to injuries at the beginning of the season, he has not played many games in total so far, and the average playing time per game is not much, and the statistics are dismal.

However, he has always believed in his own strength and firmly believes that as long as he is given a chance, he will be able to prove himself.

At this moment, the team is lagging behind. After coming up, the substitute players of USC are not very good. Vucevic keenly feels that his opportunity is coming.

"The ball, give it to me." Vucevic asked for the ball in the low post on the left.

Seeing that he wanted the ball, his teammates hesitated for a while, but because the others were not feeling well, all the previous three attacks were ironed. Instead, Syracuse University seized the opportunity to score one, and the difference was further widened. In the end, his teammates thought about it and passed the ball to Vucevic.

After taking the ball, Vucevic took a look at the situation on the court and saw that no one came to help the defense. The players from Syracuse University were far away, and there was only one Kent behind him. step, and then a dribbling turn around.

"Not good." Kent's heart jumped, but he was already bypassed by Vucevic. He only had time to turn around, and before he jumped up, he saw Vucevic score a layup.

Only then did Kent remember what Qin Hao told him before the game, and his heart suddenly became solemn.

Seeing Vucevic score one, his teammates began to feed him the ball.

Dozens of seconds later, Vucevic took the ball again in the low post and played with a post-up again. Kent became cautious this time, holding Vucevic against him physically.

At this moment, Vucevic suddenly turned his back, raised the ball, and was about to shoot. Kent subconsciously jumped up to block, but soon found himself fooled.

I saw that although Vucevic lifted the ball, he didn't shoot. It was just a fake move that tricked Kent into jumping up. Then he took a step forward and jumped up and shot.

Swish!

Enter again!

"nice shot."

"It's a beautiful shot."

"Hey, I didn't expect USC to have such players besides DeRozan and Gibson, why haven't I heard of it before?"

In the audience, the fans cheered.

Vucevic scored two goals in a row, both beautiful, showing excellent technique and scoring ability, which made many fans feel bright.

Of course, this is a "spoiler" for Syracuse University.

Originally, with the performances of Qin Hao and Butler, Syracuse University was still ahead, but Vucevic scored two goals in a row, and USC was approaching the score.

"Well done, Nikolai, that's how it is played." Coach Singer shouted at the court.

Hearing the coach's shout, several USC players began to feed Vucevic more balls.

Vucevic did not miss such an opportunity. Just over a minute later, he grabbed another offensive rebound and passed it to his teammates on the outside to make a three-pointer.

In less than three minutes, Vucevic made 2 of 2 shots and scored 4 points, as well as an offensive rebound and an assist, helping the team catch up with the score.
