Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Villanova University, basketball arena.

Today is Syracuse University's away game against Villanova University. The game has reached the second half. The score on the field is 53:54, and Syracuse University is 1 point behind.

This is already the tenth regular season game of Syracuse University this season. Syracuse University has played nine games before, winning all nine games and winning nine straight games. However, the previous nine opponents were not particularly strong, at least not as strong as Villanova University.

Qin Hao and Butler rested on the sidelines, and both sides were in rotation.

Here at Syracuse University are Kent, Jefferson, Tucker, White, and Brother Flathead.

I saw Brother Flathead pushing the ball to the frontcourt and gesturing to his teammates. Kent stepped forward to pick and roll, Brother Flathead used the pick and roll to throw off the defender and hit the inside line, but Villanova University was already prepared, and the small forward immediately went to Move inside, help inside defend.

Brother Flathead scored the ball and passed it to Tucker. Tucker faltered with the ball and then took a step forward, but instead of hitting it himself, he passed the ball to the top of the arc and beyond the three-point line.

White catches the ball and makes a three-pointer.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"The ball was handled well." Butler applauded and said to Qin Hao, "Tucker has made great progress during this time, and his talent is indeed good."

"Well, his defense is good, and his ability to support and handle the ball is also good. Although his finishing ability is a little worse, it's not bad for a freshman." Qin Hao smiled.

If Tucker starts and partners with Qin Hao and Butler, then the weak finishing ability is nothing. Anyway, the starting lineup is mainly scored by Qin Hao and Butler.

With Qin Hao and Butler around, it doesn't matter that the others have the finishing ability.

In the new season, Syracuse University has played nine regular season games and won all nine games. Tucker's progress is obvious to all. Now everyone on the team realizes how much Coach Fox values ​​Tucker.

Some keen people have even guessed Coach Fox's intentions, just taking into account Greg's feelings, no one has said it.

Looking at Tucker who was defending on the court, Qin Hao thought of Draymond Green of the Warriors.

Tucker is actually somewhat similar to Green, both are excellent defense, can handle the ball, and have a certain ability to organize the ball.

At this time, Green has not entered the NBA, and there is no "Splash Brothers", so it is impossible for Coach Fox to know the "small ball play" of the Warriors in a few years.

But while making Syracuse's "run-and-gun" more and more suitable for Syracuse, Coach Fox is in some ways in line with coach Steve Kerr a few years later.

This surprised Qin Hao.

Of course, Syracuse University's "run-and-gun tactics" and the Warriors' "small-ball play" are only similar, but fundamentally different.

Qin Hao is different from Curry, and Butler is also different from Clay, not to mention that Syracuse University has an insider, and Jefferson is, it can only be regarded as "big one and four small", not a strict "small lineup".

From a lineup point of view, Syracuse University is still more like the Suns.

Swish!

A soft sound.

On the court, Villanova University made a three-pointer.

At this time, Villanova University began to gradually gain the main players, regain the upper hand, and gradually open the score...

Moments later, Villanova University led by 4 points, then center Tyron hit a low single, and also caused a foul by Kent, making it 2+1.

For a time, Villanova extended the lead to 7 points.

The audience was full of Villanova fans, and when they saw the team leading by seven points, they began to cheer loudly, loudly, and filled the arena.

"Substitution." Coach Fox asked for a substitution, looking to the bench, "Qin, Jimmy, come on, replace White and Kent."

"Yes."

"It's our turn."

The two got up and walked to the field.

When Qin Hao and Butler returned to the court, the audience suddenly became quiet, and the fans couldn't help but be a little nervous, staring at the court without blinking.

Brother Pingtou was still playing No. 1. After he came to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Qin Hao, and the others pulled away and let Qin Hao play singles.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Hao broke through, suddenly accelerated, broke through from the left, and the defender immediately turned to chase, he couldn't stop Qin Hao, he could only chase.

However, at this moment, Qin Hao suddenly stopped, and the defender couldn't stop hitting Qin Hao. Qin Hao jumped up and made a throw.

beep!

Swish!

The whistle blows, the ball goes in.

The ball was scored and the opponent was fouled.

Qin Hao went to the free-throw line and steadily hit the extra penalty. A 2+1 score was a match, and the difference was reduced to 4 points.

In the next round, Qin Hao opened the singles again, Villanova University had to double-team, and the two rushed to Qin Hao at the same time. Qin Hao smiled slightly and passed the ball to Butler. Butler made a breakthrough when he took the ball, attacked the inside line to find a confrontation, and scored against the defender.

"I can't stop it."

"If you double-team this one, you won't be able to prevent that one. There's no way."

The home fans sighed and felt aggrieved.

If it's just Qin Hao, it's enough to double-team directly, but Syracuse University and Butler, if Qin Hao is double-teamed, Butler will play singles. In a one-on-one situation, whether it is Qin Hao or Butler, there is no solution for Villanova University. They have no players who can defend them.

Seeing that Qin Hao and Butler went up and turned the situation around, Coach Fox breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

They have won nine straight this season and are currently No. 1 in the Big East.

The reason why such a result can be achieved is related to the improvement of the players' overall strength, the more tacit cooperation, and the more mature tactical system, but the most important thing is to have Qin Hao and Butler.

In the past half year, Qin Hao and Butler have made great progress. Villanova University had difficulty preventing them last season, and it will be even worse this season.

Swish!

Just thinking about it, Qin Hao made another three-pointer.

However, in a short time, the difference between the two sides was approaching 1 point, and soon Syracuse University overtook the score, maintaining the lead until the end of the game.

"drop......"

When the game was over, Syracuse University won 88-82.

In this game, Qin Hao scored 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists. Butler scored 22 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block. Syracuse University's record improved to ten consecutive victories.

In the past ten games of Syracuse University, Qin Hao has averaged 20.4 points, 6.5 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game. Whether it is points, assists, or rebounds, they are all higher than last season.

So does Butler.

In ten games, Butler averaged 21.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game, far exceeding his data from last season.

Moreover, this time Syracuse University was not a weak team, but Villanova University. Compared with last season, Syracuse University seems to be stronger.

For a time, the Big East League was in a state of turmoil, and all the teams were nervous.
