Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 381 The Powerful University of Tennessee
After some warm-up, the players returned to the sidelines.

Qin Hao and others surrounded Coach Fox. Coach Fox swept the players around and began to order: "Kent, Jefferson, Cole, Holbert, Felton, you guys start."

Both Holbert and Cole heaved a sigh of relief when they heard their names.

As for Kent and Jefferson, because they are inside players, they are not very worried. Butler and Qin Hao are not inside players.

However, Felton had already chosen to compromise and took the initiative to move closer to Qin Hao and Butler. He was already mentally prepared to lose his starting position. He was a little surprised to hear that he was still the starting player.

Among the main players, the forwards and defenders, Cole, Holbert, and Felton, actually have a sense of crisis.

Cole and Holbert were unwilling to compromise, and Jefferson had a good relationship with Holbert, so it was difficult to abandon Holbert.

"Let me talk about it." Coach Fox ignored the expressions of the players and continued: "The opponent is very strong. Take it seriously, if you can win, you must never lose, understand?"

"Understood." The players responded in unison.

Syracuse University also has the opportunity to enter the top 64 tournament. If it comes to "March Madness", they may not encounter the University of Tennessee Volunteers.

This game is not only to practice tactics and test the training results, but also to reconnaissance and find out the bottom line, and even a preview of the possible future confrontation between the two sides.

Whichever team can win will have an advantage in psychology and morale when they actually meet in the top 64 tournament in the future.

Then Coach Fox spread out the tactical board and began to arrange: "In terms of defense, we must first pay attention to the defense of the inside line. Kent and Jefferson, you two must pay attention to protecting the rebound. The opponent's twin towers are a difficult bone."

"Yes." Kent and Jefferson nodded together.

"Holbert, Felton." Coach Fox said again: "You have to keep up with them, and you must not miss them. The opponent's outside shooting is not bad."

As for Cole, he is a shooting forward, but limited by his physical fitness, defense is not his strong point, and he is definitely not as good as the opponent. There is nothing to say.

Then Coach Fox emphasized offense: "In terms of offense, we need to pass the ball more, run more, and play our tactics. Holbert, if possible, you have to make more fouls and kill the opponent's twin towers. Felton , You have to organize the offense well. Cole, your task is to open up the space, shoot when you have the opportunity, and make sure to shoot firmly. Jefferson, you should play more in the low post and make good use of your hook."

Several people agreed in unison, expressing their understanding.

While Coach Fox was arranging tactics, Qin Hao, Butler and others were also listening.

From Coach Fox's arrangement, Qin Hao understood that the University of Tennessee's twin towers are a great threat, and the other side is the opponent's small forward. When deploying defense, Coach Fox skipped Cole. It seems that Cole is not expected to be able to defend. Living against the opponent, it can be seen that the small forward of the University of Tennessee should be very strong.

"From this point of view, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take advantage." Qin Hao thought to himself, pulling Butler to sit down.

Players from both sides came to the field and the referee threw the ball into the air.

Snapped!
University of Tennessee center Scott is 211 centimeters tall. He touched the ball first and shot it to the backcourt. Defender Kenny controlled the ball and launched an attack.

The five starters of the University of Tennessee are center Scott (height 211cm), power forward Fields (height I am 208cm), small forward Josh (height 197cm), shooting guard Gordon (height 195cm), point guard Kenny (height 189cm).

This lineup is also the main lineup of the University of Tennessee. It can be seen that they did not take it lightly because this is a preseason game, and they still took a serious enough attitude.

After Kenny came to the frontcourt, he asked for a pick-and-roll and took the opportunity to shake off Felton. Seeing that Kent pounced on the delay, he immediately passed the ball back to Kenny.

at the same time.

Small forward Josh was moving towards the top of the arc, Kenny turned sideways, passed the ball hand-to-hand to Josh, and then set a pick-and-roll for him, blocking Cole.

The next moment, Josh accelerated his breakthrough, not much fancy, but very fast, with very big steps, he stepped into the inside line in two steps, and jumped towards Kent.

"Hmph." Kent snorted coldly, and jumped up to block the shot.

But Josh didn't rush to make a shot. He paused in the air and made a lingering air. When Kent started to fall, but he was still in the air, he lifted the ball up.

Swish!
With a soft sound, Josh made a throw.

"This Josh is not easy." Butler narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashing with fighting intent, "Fast, excellent in the air, and great physical fitness."

"En." Qin Hao nodded, he was sure that this was definitely not Josh's full strength.

On the first offense, the University of Tennessee made a tactic specifically for Josh, giving him space, pick-and-roll screens, and then let him play singles.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that Josh's status at the University of Tennessee is extraordinary.

The score became 2:0.

Syracuse University counterattacked, and Felton advanced the ball to the front court. Seeing Holbert running back to ask for the ball, he subconsciously passed it.

In this lineup, the tactical core is Holbert and Jefferson, and Holbert, as a shooting guard, naturally becomes the starting point of the offense.

I saw that Holbert broke through after taking the ball. After a feint, he accelerated. The speed was not very fast, but the rhythm was very good. Tennessee shooting guard Gordon is in half.

Then Holbert took a step forward, completely passed Gordon, and he was within the free throw line. He hugged the ball and rushed towards the opponent's twin towers.

Holbert wants to draw a foul and kill the opponent's inside line.

The twin towers of the University of Tennessee are a great threat. If they can kill the opponent's inside line and destroy the twin towers, then the game will be much easier to play.

It's a pity that the two insiders, Scott and Fields, were not fooled. They stood on the inside with their hands raised high, instead of jumping forward, they just jumped up on the spot.But even so, it still covered Holbert's sight like a wall of people, and he couldn't even see the basket.

"Damn." Holbert cursed secretly, and could only pass the ball.

The basketball was assigned to the outside line and given to Felton. Felton immediately passed it to Cole, but Cole missed a three-pointer.

Scott grabs rebound, Tennessee fights back
In the next few rounds, the University of Tennessee's offense started with Josh, and as Qin Hao guessed, Cole couldn't defend Josh at all.

After a few rounds, the score became 7:0, the University of Tennessee led by 7 points, but Syracuse University did not score a single goal.
