Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 406
"beep"

Only 4 minutes into the first half, University of Cincinnati head coach Fryer requested a timeout.

Although it was only 4 minutes, the score on the field has become 11:5, with Syracuse University leading by 6 points.

Leading by 6 points is not the key, the key lies in the situation on the court. From the beginning of the game, the University of Cincinnati was overwhelmed by Syracuse University and was completely stuck.

"Wilton is restricted by the opponent." Coach Fryer's eyes fell on Qin Hao, "This Chinese kid named Qin is indeed very strong, no wonder he became the starting player of Syracuse University in his freshman year. He has fast speed, solid technique, excellent awareness, and the most rare thing is that a freshman player has a lot of experience, and he played against Wilton for 4 minutes without making any mistakes."

In these 4 minutes, Qin Hao didn't take many shots on the offensive end. Apart from defending Wilton and organizing the offense, he only took one shot. He scored 2 points with a breakthrough throw after the pick-and-roll.

But even so, with his performance on the defensive end and organization, Coach Fryer has already envied Syracuse University.

Shaking his head, Coach Fryer summoned the players and said, "Wilton, you are the starting point of the team's offense. Your task is not only to score yourself, but also to open up the team's offense. Wait a minute. Use more pick-and-rolls and screens, drive more, not just shoot outside, understand?"

"Understood." Wilton nodded heavily.

After a few minutes, he kept trying to break through Qin Hao's defense, but the effect was not good.

At this time, he also understood that it was not easy to get past Qin Hao one-on-one. He had to use pick-and-rolls and screens, and use the strength of the team.

"In addition." Coach Fryer said again: "The defense against Butler and Holbert must be strengthened, we must keep up with them, and we must have the necessary defense."

In the first 4 minutes, Butler and Holbert scored the most points at Syracuse University, and the University of Cincinnati couldn't prevent them one-on-one.

Wilton is responsible for defending Holbert, but he is an offensive player and defense is not his strong point.

Last season, Syracuse University vs. University of Cincinnati, Holbert was directly facing Wilton. The result was that Holbert couldn't guard against Wilton, and Wilton couldn't guard against Holbert.

Now Wilton is responsible for defending Holbert, but he has no way to limit Holbert's scoring, but when he turns to the offensive end, it is not Holbert who defends Wilton, but Qin Hao.

At the small forward position, Jenkins is facing Butler. He is not as good as Butler in terms of physical fitness and skills, and he directly falls into a disadvantage.

That's why Coach Fryer emphasizes defense.

For Syracuse University, Coach Fox didn't make any adjustments. The players played very well in these 4 minutes.

When the timeout ends, both players return to the field.

Fern came to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Wilton. Wilton first asked for a pick-and-roll against Qin Hao. There was a gap in speed between him and Qin Hao, but the gap was not very large. A pick-and-roll was enough to get him out of Qin Hao. Hao's defense, followed by a breakthrough, hit the inside line.

Only in this way can Syracuse University's defensive formation be changed.

When Wilton broke through, Kent stepped forward immediately, and Wilton split the ball and passed it to Jenkins on the outside, Jenkins also scored suddenly.Kent dropped Wilton and pounced on Jenkins, completely losing his defense against University of Cincinnati center Downey, and the ball went into Downey's hands and scored.

"It seems that the University of Cincinnati has realized the problem and responded to it." Assistant coach Harry raised his eyebrows and said to Coach Fox.

"It's okay." Coach Fox didn't care. Qin Hao's defense against Wilton still had a good restrictive effect. Thinking about the cooperation just now, the University of Cincinnati couldn't do it every time.

Syracuse University offense.

After Qin Hao came to the front court, he used the pick-and-roll to break through and pass the ball to Holbert. Holbert held the ball in singles and immediately encountered a help defense.

But this was not unexpected. Holbert was not flustered. He quickly divided the ball and passed it to Butler. Butler feinted to attract the defense, and then he also divided the ball and passed it to Qin Hao.

Once the opponent assists in the defense, there will definitely be opportunities outside. As long as the ball is transferred in time, Syracuse University will be able to get a shot from outside the three-point line.

boom!
To the surprise of the Syracuse University players, the shot had a good chance, and Qin Hao missed it even though there was no one more than one meter in front of him.

This is not Qin Hao's level.

After a few rounds, Qin Hao made another shot from outside the three-point line, but he still failed to make a shot. He hit the iron again, which surprised people.

"Qin feels a little bad today." Jefferson muttered.

Butler remembered that during the warm-up before, Qin Hao also hit the iron again and again, and the three-pointer felt cold, and his heart couldn't help but thump.

"Missing two three-pointers in a row is rare for Qin." Harry said, a little worried.

Coach Fox frowned slightly, and made a gesture on the court, signaling the others to cover the pick-and-roll for Qin and let him continue shooting.

However, the next shot is still to hit the iron.

Three consecutive three-point shots made the fans in the audience feel stunned. One fan's eyes widened and he looked confused: "What's going on, Qin missed three three-pointers in a row, isn't that unreasonable?"

"It's unreasonable. Qin's three-pointers have always been very accurate."

"What's going on today?"

In the auditorium, the fans were discussing.

Qin Hao was also a little depressed. He felt it when he was warming up. For some reason, today's three-pointer felt very bad, and the shot was very uncomfortable.

"beep"

After failing to score three consecutive three-pointers, Coach Fox called a timeout, replaced Qin Hao, and comforted Qin Hao: "It's okay, no matter how accurate you are, sometimes you don't feel good, come down and rest and adjust."

"En." Qin Hao nodded, smiled helplessly, and said to Butler, "Jimmy, it's up to you."

"Ah?" Butler stared. Could it be that Qin Hao's share is really going to fall on me?

But the concubine can't do it!

It’s not a rare thing to feel bad. Many players have it. Even Curry, who will play the title of "Day Day" in the Warriors in the future, will make 9 of 2 three-pointers, so Qin Hao is not very good. Concerned, he thought of a problem, his three-pointer seems to have not improved much for a while.

Ever since the three-pointer and the breakthrough went up to the next level and achieved transformation, Qin Hao replaced the targeted training with mid-range shooting. It was only a few months later that the mid-range shooting still failed to break through.

The progress of three-pointers and breakthroughs has also been slower and slower.

"Could it be that it's because the mid-range shooting has been slow to break through, so it restricts my three-pointer instead?" Qin Hao had such a thought in his heart, but he couldn't be sure.
