Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 422 Syracuse University has great ambitions!
With the strength of Syracuse University, Coach Fox doesn't think it will be difficult for them to enter the playoffs.

In fact, so far, with a wave of 7 consecutive victories, Syracuse University has rushed to the second place in the Big East, second only to the University of Connecticut.

After them are the University of Louisville and Marquette University.

Both have lost just one game, and Syracuse and UConn are the only Big East teams with undefeated records to date.

Because of this, Coach Fox decided to train in the following games, practice new tactics, and further cultivate the tacit understanding between the players. Even if some victories are sacrificed, the players should become proficient in "running and bombing" as soon as possible. .

A day later, Syracuse University rushed to the away game against the Georgetown Hoyas (Georgetown Hoyas).

Georgetown University Hoyas (Georgetown Hoyas) is a middle-level team, ranked seventh last season, but this season they have become stronger, the previous few games are also very good, 4 wins 2 Negative, currently ranked sixth in the Big East.

Facing Syracuse University, the Georgetown University Hoyas are still a little nervous.

After seeing that the starting lineup of Syracuse University was Jefferson, Butler, Holbert, Qin Hao, and Felton, the players of the Hoya team of Georgetown University were surprised and stunned. Only the head coach of the team frowned. He frowned, thoughtfully.

After the start of the game, the Hoya team of Georgetown University went all out to respond with trepidation, but the result surprised them. Syracuse University made mistakes one after another at the beginning of the game, giving them many opportunities in vain.

A few minutes later, Georgetown University led by 5 points.

"Once the pace is fast, there will be problems with coordination." Harry's assistant smiled wryly: "Especially when speeding up the offensive and defensive rhythm, more passes are required, which increases the possibility of mistakes."

"The time is still too short. After only two days of practice, the players wanted to be fast, but they failed to control mistakes while being fast." Coach Fox shook his head and called a timeout. When the players came down, he did not Instead of reprimanding the players, he analyzed the mistakes to the players, and then encouraged them: "It's okay, it's like this at the beginning of the new tactical system, and it will get better slowly."

Finally, he called Qin Hao: "Qin, slow down the rhythm a little bit, your speed is too fast, and our tactical coordination is not skilled enough, don't be so fast."

"Oh." Qin Hao was a little embarrassed.

Watching the players walk onto the court, Coach Fox himself laughed, not expecting that he would still dislike the players for being too fast, which is also interesting.

After that, Qin Hao deliberately slowed down the speed and suppressed the rhythm.

Although Felton has returned to the starting lineup, his role is more of a three-pointer, and Qin Hao is responsible for organizing.

After all, "running and bombing tactics" have high requirements for point guards, and Felton is not up to the task, so Qin Hao can only be used.

Syracuse University's tempo has dropped. Although they are still running and bombing, as the tempo drops, the offensive efficiency also drops.Because the opponent has enough time to deploy defense after the rhythm is down, Syracuse University's offense has to fall into positional warfare in many cases.

Once it falls into the half-court battle, the problem of the lack of a center is fully exposed.

So after playing 7 minutes in the first quarter, Syracuse University has been lagging behind, but after changing to a rotation lineup, Syracuse University has the upper hand and narrowed the point difference a little.

This made Coach Fox dumbfounded. Before, the starting lineup was as fierce as a tiger, and the rotation lineup was as good as a chicken, but now it's fine and has been transferred.

When the first quarter ended, Syracuse trailed by 4 points.

After one quarter of the game, Georgetown University let go of its worries, regained its confidence, and became more and more courageous in the subsequent games.

The situation on Syracuse University's side was not very stable. It was not until the middle of the second half that they played a shock wave, showing the power of "running and bombing tactics", and once overtook the score.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and soon the players' outside feel declined, and they hit the iron again and again, and fell into a disadvantage again.

When the game ended, the score was 82:78, and Georgetown University beat Syracuse University by 4 points.

"Haha, we won."

"Nice job guys."

A group of Georgetown players hugged and celebrated excitedly.

Originally, they were mentally prepared to lose, but they won.

Only the head coach looked serious, without any joy. He looked at the players at Syracuse University, then at Coach Fox, and said to himself, "Is it a 'run-and-gun tactic'? Coach Fox is very ambitious. Is the Eastern Conference champion gone?"

As a professional coach who does not want to be named, he can naturally see that the reason why Syracuse University lost the game today was not because they were inferior to them, but because Syracuse University regarded this game as a training session. The "running and bombing" of the team is not skilled enough, there are many mistakes, the cooperation is not tacit enough, and the rhythm is not fast enough.
It was pure luck to win Syracuse University today, but it will be another matter when we meet next time, when Syracuse University's "running and bombing tactics" become proficient.

Here, Qin Hao and others surrounded Coach Fox, and the team atmosphere was a bit dull.

Today they played very badly, with too many mistakes, too many strikes, and the inside was blown up. In short, they played in a mess.

Qin Hao scored 23 points, plus 6 assists and 4 rebounds. The statistics seem to be good, but there are 4 turnovers, all of which are pass errors.

Of course, half of this mistake is his responsibility, and half is the problem of his teammates.

Butler scored 20 points, plus 7 rebounds and 2 assists. His performance was actually good, but Holbert felt cold today. He hit the iron repeatedly on the outside and only scored 10 points. Jefferson scored 7 points and Felton scored 5 points. The starting lineup The score is not very high.

"It's just a loss in the regular season." Coach Fox clapped his hands and said: "We are more training today, our 'run and bomb tactics' are not proficient enough, after all, the time is too short. Don't worry about it. I believe that over time, you will become better than before, and we at Syracuse University will be stronger than before."

"Ah."

"Most definitely."

The players nodded.

The news of Syracuse University's loss to Georgetown University spread quickly, which shocked many people and surprised many teams.

Could it be that Syracuse beat the University of Louisville just by accident?
However, when some news came from Georgetown University's unnamed coach, all Big East teams were awe-inspiring-Syracuse University changed their style of play, and they began to play "run and shoot tactics."

Almost all the coaches of these teams had the same thought in their minds—Syracuse University has great ambitions!
