Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 382 It's time for us to play!

"What happened? Let the University of Tennessee score 7 points, but our side didn't score a single goal."

"Holbert is not in a good state today. He made 2 of 0 shots, and so did the others. They all hit iron. This feeling is too bad."

"Come on, Syracuse University!"

Almost all the fans in the auditorium were fans of Syracuse University. Seeing the start like this, they all felt very depressed. Some people complained unhappily, and some were cheering for Syracuse University.

Various voices came into his ears. Holbert knew that this could not go on like this. He had to break the scoring drought. He ran back to ask for the ball, and then made a gesture. Kent came up to pick and roll, and Holbert threw off the defense. The man took two steps forward, and then made a sudden stop for a jumper.

Swish!
Finally got in.

"Phew." Holbert heaved a sigh of relief. He made 2 of 0 shots before, and the touch was indeed bad, but the main reason was that the opponent's defense was very oppressive.

Opposing Holbert is Gordon. Gordon is not very prominent in scoring. He is not a core player at the University of Tennessee. He is far inferior to Josh, and even inferior to the inside twin towers Scott and Fields.The reason why he was able to start the game is mainly due to his excellent defense.

If the offense fails, the defense will make up for it.

Under Gordon's defense, Holbert played very hard. The previous two shots all ended in iron strikes. Fortunately, he finally scored this time, breaking the team's scoring drought.

"You're lucky this time." Gordon sneered and decided to further strengthen his defense.

After Holbert broke the scoring drought, Syracuse University also began to score. Soon Jefferson used his trump card in the low post and scored with a small hook.

Then Felton also scored a long two points.

However, on the offensive end, Syracuse University still couldn't restrain the University of Tennessee. Josh had an absolute upper hand against Cole, but Syracuse University didn't dare to double-team easily.Because the University of Tennessee has twin towers inside, once double-teaming is used, either the inside line will be seized by the opponent, or the outside line will miss people.

Double-teaming the opponent's core players in an already unfavorable situation is not a good choice and will only make the situation worse.

In desperation, he had to switch defenses.

"Cole, let's switch defenses." Holbert yelled at Cole, let him defend Josh, and Cole would match Gordon.

Seeing that the man defending him was replaced by Holbert, Josh just chuckled, and still played resolutely. He is tall and has long arms, excellent physical fitness, rich scoring methods, and his technical characteristics are actually very similar to Holbert. Similar, regardless of that aspect, he is a little better than Holbert.

Although it was only a little bit, it was enough to give Josh the upper hand when the two had similar technical characteristics.

A few minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

On the court, Josh blocked Holbert with one hand and asked for the ball with the other.

When a teammate passed the ball, he pinched the ball around his waist, turned halfway, changed from the back basket to the face frame, took a step with his right foot, and swung his shoulders accordingly, making a movement to break through.

Holbert subconsciously moved half a step to the left, and retreated at the same time, leaving enough distance for reaction, in case he got too close and was passed by with one step.

But at this moment, Josh suddenly retracted his right foot and broke through to the left. Holbert moved quickly, but Josh suddenly retreated and shot a jumper.

Swish!
With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

When the ball was hit, the score between the two sides became 17:7, and the University of Tennessee had already led by 10 points.

"Hey, I can't prevent it if it's Holbert."

"Damn it, the first quarter is not over yet, and we are down by as much as 10 points. Is there any hope of winning if we continue playing like this?"

The fans all looked ugly.

Coach Fox called a timeout. He didn't blame the players, but made personnel adjustments: "Qin, Jimmy, you two, replace Cole and Holbert."

Hearing this, Holbert and Cole trembled in unison. Holbert opened his mouth unwillingly, but thinking of the current score, he finally closed his mouth and sat on the bench without saying a word. .

In fact, Holbert's strength is not weak, on the contrary, he is very strong. It's just that he was unlucky. He met the University of Tennessee, and his direct opponent was Gordon, who is known as the "defensive leader" of the University of Tennessee.Then he switched defenses with Kerr. He went to defend Josh, the core player of the University of Tennessee, and tricked Josh, who happened to be very similar to him in terms of technical characteristics and physical fitness, and even a little better than him.

Just a little bit, but it made Holbert helpless.

"Jimmy." Coach Fox spread out the tactical board and arranged: "You go to defend Josh later. He has excellent physical fitness and comprehensive skills. Be careful."

"Yeah." Butler nodded, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

Coach Fox is still very confident in Butler's defensive ability. In terms of defensive ability, Butler is definitely at the top of the small forward position.

Afterwards, Coach Fox looked at Qin Hao and said: "Qin, your task is to score. We are now behind by as much as 10 points and we must catch up as soon as possible. I am not sure whether the opponent will make personnel adjustments. If Gordon continues to play , should match up with you. He is very good defensively, don’t tangle with him, make good use of your shooting ability, and make more use of teammates’ screens and pick-and-rolls.”

"Understood." Qin Hao understood and nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Coach Fox used two tactics on the tactical board, both of which were based on Qin Hao.

During the period of more than a month, Coach Fox tailored several tactics for Qin Hao and Butler based on their technical characteristics.

For example, Qin Hao has three-point accuracy, so he formulated several three-point tactics for him, and he and Butler cooperated tacitly, and specially designed pass-and-cut coordination tactics for the two of them.
"beep"

The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Jimmy, it's time for us to play!"

"Hey." Butler gave a strange laugh and licked his lips, "I can't wait."

At this time, the first quarter actually played less than 7 minutes, but Holbert and the others allowed the University of Tennessee to score as many as 17 points, and the defense was indeed very poor.

Players from both sides returned to the court. The University of Tennessee only replaced guard Kenny with substitute guard McRae, and the other four remained unchanged.

So when Qin Hao came to the frontcourt, Gordon pounced on him, opened his hands so that the referee could see, but his body was close to Qin Hao, exerting physical pressure on Qin Hao.

"This guy is like a piece of brown sugar." Qin Hao frowned slightly, but he understood Holbert somewhat.

Indeed, Gordon's defense is uncomfortable.

Holbert is an offensive player with the ball. After he gets the ball, he must dribble first, and then he can make a series of technical moves.

Gordon's candy-style defense makes it difficult for Holbert, an offensive player with the ball, to have an outside shot, and even if Holbert uses a breakthrough to pass Gordon, there are still the twin towers of the University of Tennessee inside. , It is still not so easy for him to score.

But Qin Hao is different from Holbert!
