Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1015 Turn the tide
"Humph."

Turkoglu originally wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule Butler, but he knew that Butler was determined and would not be affected by him. He snorted coldly, closed his mouth and started to attack.

However, this time he still couldn't pass Butler, so he had to retreat and choose to shoot directly. Anyway, he was several centimeters taller than Butler, and he was not afraid of being blocked due to his height and arm length.

It was indeed difficult for Butler to block Turkoglu, but he reacted quickly. He rushed forward immediately, and his hand had already reached Turkoglu's face, covering Turkoglu's sight.

boom!
With a muffled sound, the ball strikes the iron.

However, Howard took the offensive rebound and scored, turning the point difference into 18 points.

The Pistons fought back.

Stuckey wants the ball. He has played for the Pistons for five years and has strong personal abilities. When Prince's state has been declining year after year, he has become the boss of the Pistons.

At this time, the team was trailing by as much as 18 points, so he naturally had to stand up. After getting the ball, Stuckey played singles, took a tentative step, and then made a breakthrough, rushed to the inside, and pulled the bar in the air, trying to avoid Howard's block Guy, it's a pity that he underestimated Howard. Howard's bounce is very good, and the defensive coverage is also very large. After avoiding Howard's block, Stuckey has completely lost sight of the basket.

boom!
The goal was missed, and the Magic counterattacked.

Fortunately, the Magic's offense did not score this time, but the Pistons also failed to score. Instead, Gordon's layup was blocked by Anderson, and the Magic counterattacked and scored two points.

"The point difference has become 20 points."

"This is troublesome. We are 20 points behind at halftime. How can we play in the second half?"

In the auditorium, the home fans lamented in unison.

The head coach of the Pistons looked gloomy, and the point difference reached 20 points, which was another critical point. If it weren't for the fact that there were only a few tens of seconds left in the second quarter, he would have called a timeout.

In the last few seconds, the Pistons attacked.

Stuckey took the ball and saw Butler running towards him just as he was about to play singles. His heart moved and he passed the ball to Butler. Butler played very well in the first quarter before. Let him try.

Seeing Butler taking the ball, Turkoglu posted it immediately, squinting his eyes and staring at Butler coldly. Butler didn't look at Turkoglu, but glanced at the basket, and then stepped out with his right foot.

Turkoglu subconsciously took half a step back, but at this moment, Butler suddenly pulled out and made a direct three-pointer.

"Not good." Turkoglu jumped up quickly, but it was too late.

Fortunately, the next moment he heard a "bang", obviously the goal was missed, but when he looked again, he found that Butler in front of him was gone.

When the ball was shot, Butler landed, and immediately ran to the inside. He was not sure whether he could make the ball. After all, Turkoglu, who is 208 cm tall, was in front of him. He was not a three-point shooter like Qin Hao. .

Sure enough, the ball bounced out of the frame, and Butler just hit it. He kicked his feet and jumped up. Taking advantage of the unprepared players of the Magic team, he pushed the basketball into the basket with one hand.

"Huh"

For a moment, there was an uproar in the auditorium, the fans exclaimed, and then there were all kinds of cheers and applause.

Turkoglu was annoyed secretly, but he could only smile wryly.

At this time, there were only 24 seconds left in the second quarter, and the Magic directly used up 18 seconds, leaving only a few seconds for the Pistons. In the end, Gordon missed a super long three-pointer, and the Magic took an [-]-point advantage End the first half.

Trailing by 18 points at halftime is a heavy burden for the Pistons.

If Butler hadn't scored one, the point difference would have been 20 points!

In a blink of an eye the second half began.

Butler was sent, Wright was not, the head coach of the Pistons deliberately separated the two, but Butler's performance was still outstanding after entering the second half, and he made a three-pointer after he came up.

Tens of seconds later, he ran back to get the ball, feinted, and then rushed to the inside. First, he found a physical confrontation. It was Anderson who defended, not Howard, so Butler was much more relaxed. After the confrontation, he scored the ball. .

In a short time, Butler scored another 4 points, and his personal score was almost 20 points.

It's just that other than him, the other players on the Pistons are still in average condition. Butler glanced at his teammates around him and couldn't help frowning. He couldn't beat four hands with two punches, let alone one against five.

"What should I do?" Butler thought to himself, "If it was Qin, what would he do?"

Thoughts turned in his mind, Butler had already made a decision.

Then Butler continued to break through, playing very tough, constantly attacking the inside of the Magic, waiting for opportunities to cause damage, but he reduced his personal shots and began to create opportunities for his teammates.

At the same time, Butler is very hard on the defensive end. In addition to defending Turkoglu, he also has to fight for rebounds, help his teammates defend, and make up defenses. He seems to be everywhere and has done everything he can do.

Driven by him, the enthusiasm of the Pistons has been improved, the defense has become more active and tough, and the offense has also improved. In addition to Butler and Stuckey, Gordon, Jerebko and others also began to score. .

Instead, the Magic are in trouble.

In the starting lineup of the Magic, Turkoglu plays a key role. He has the body of an inside player, the organization and shooting skills of an outside player, but he plays the front line.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that Turkoglu is very important in the offensive system of the Magic. He can grab rebounds, help defend, organize and support, and can also be used as an outside shooter to contain the defense and provide outside shots. vitality output.

But in the past few minutes, he was given a headache by Butler's fierce defense, and his performance was not good, which in turn affected the offense of the entire Magic.

For a while, one went up and down, and the Pistons reversed their decline and gained the upper hand. Under the leadership of Butler, they continued to narrow the point difference.

When the third quarter was halfway through, the Pistons narrowed the 18-point difference to only 9 points.

The Magic had to call a timeout.

When the timeout came back, the Magic's offense and defense improved, and the two sides began to stalemate. After two-thirds of the third quarter, the two sides began to make substitutions, Butler was also replaced, and Wright was replaced.

However, after this substitution, the Pistons quickly fell into a disadvantage, and the point difference was expanded again, but the point difference became 13 points in a short time, which made the fans very upset.

"Substitution, substitution, we want Butler."

"Butler, Butler"

More and more fans began to shout, people shouted the name of "Butler", they just want Butler back, because only Butler can turn the situation around and give them hope.

on the edge of the field.

A group of players who did not play all looked at the head coach. The head coach of the Pistons thought about it, and finally signaled a substitution after a dead ball, turned around and shouted: "Butler, you go."
