Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 444 Underestimated Defense
"Snapped!"

Olivet took the basketball to the backcourt, McNeill controlled the ball and looked forward, and found that Syracuse University had already set up a defense line and was waiting for him.

Since switching to the "run-and-gun tactic", Syracuse University has rarely won the opening jump ball, so when they saw the jump ball from Olivet and Jefferson, Qin Hao and the others immediately turned around and retreated tacitly.

But Jefferson still worked hard. Kent always laughed at his jump ball rubbish, saying, "If it was me, I would always jump to the ball six or seven times out of ten, but you only have one or two at most, shame on you."

This is unbearable.

Unfortunately, Jefferson's efforts were of no use this time.

After McNeill came to the frontcourt, he was not in a hurry to attack. Felton was facing him. He was dribbling the ball while looking at the situation on the court.

The starting lineup for Marquette University is center Olivet (height 208cm), power forward Barton (height 206m), small forward Hart (height 195cm), shooting guard Browning (height 193cm), point guard McNeill (height 186cm).

At this time, Jefferson was facing Olivet, Qin Hao was facing Barton, Holbert was facing Hart, and Butler was defending Browning.

It's an odd counterpoint.

Especially Qin Hao, everyone knows that although Syracuse University is playing the No. 1 position Felton, Felton's job is only to push the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt.Even in many cases, he doesn't even have this job. For example, when launching a counterattack, the ball is either in Qin Hao's hands, or in Butler's or Holbert's hands. He is a pure three-point shooter.

Most of the time, the initiator and organizer of Syracuse University's offense is Qin Hao.

In other words, Qin Hao is the real No. 1 (that is, point guard) player.

But now Qin Hao, a No. 1 player, is responsible for defending a No. 4 (power forward), which is really a bit too different.

"How?" McNeill looked at Browning.

Browning pointed at Barton, and McNeill understood. Since it was a misplaced defense, Qin Hao, a player in position 1, insisted on defending Barton in position 4, so what else could he say? How can you let go of the opportunity to play singles in the low position?

However, Mr. Moses, the head coach of Marquette University on the sidelines, turned his head and glanced at Coach Fox, but he couldn't help frowning: "What the hell is that cunning fox Fox doing?"

Qin Hao is a defender, with a height of 197cm, which is 9 centimeters shorter than Barton. Coach Moses doesn't believe that Coach Fox doesn't understand what this means?
However, Coach Fox chose to let Qin Hao defend Barton.

why?
"Heh." Coach Fox raised the corner of his mouth, with a faint smile, and whispered to himself: "You only know that Qin is fast and accurate three-pointers, but you underestimate Qin's defense too much. You don't know, he and The Chinese players in your impression are different."

Arranging Qin Hao to defend against Barton is certainly not whimsical.

on the field.

Barton took the ball in the low position on the left. He didn't hit it immediately, but waited a while: "Hey, no one came to help defend?" He thought that Syracuse University would definitely help defend immediately, but it didn't. Qin Hao stood in front of him. Although the other Syracuse University also paid attention to this side, no one came over.

That being the case, why hesitate?
Right now, Barton is playing back-to-back singles, protecting the ball with one hand and dribbling the ball with the other, leaning against Qin Hao with his back, like a bulldozer, and starting to push inside.

"Ok?"

But as soon as he exerted his strength, a strong force came from his back, and Barton turned his head to look at Qin Hao in disbelief: "How could he have such great strength?"

A huge force came from Qin Hao, which shocked Barton.

He thought he could easily crush Qin Hao, just like a tank crushing a small tree, but the result was not like this. Qin Hao's ability to fight exceeded his expectations.

Although Qin Hao was pushed, it was not easy.

"What?" Coach Moses' heart jumped and his eyes widened.

At this moment, everyone could see that in the struggle between the two, Barton did not have an absolute advantage.

But how is this possible?
"Hmph, is this the reason why you don't help defend? You underestimate me too much." Barton snorted coldly and continued to push back.

Although Qin Hao's confrontation ability exceeded his expectations, he was not incapable of pushing. In terms of strength, he still had some advantages. As long as the opponent did not cooperate in defense or double-teamed, he could push Qin Hao away.

But just pushed back two steps, when Qin Hao was about to exert force for the third time, Qin Hao suddenly took a step back, Barton was caught off guard and couldn't stand the force.

"Not good." Barton's face changed, but he couldn't help but staggered, and finally stood still, and suddenly his palm was empty.

This is an opportunity for big and small low players, and no one came to help defend. Barton only wanted to push Qin Hao to the inside and take one by force, but he couldn't prevent Qin Hao from suddenly withdrawing the stool.

And, taking advantage of Barton's staggering steps and failing to protect the ball, Qin Hao suddenly rushed out and cut the ball away.

"Come on!"

Browning yelled and gave chase immediately.

I have to say that Browning reacted very quickly. He knew Qin Hao's speed, so he didn't hesitate at all. However, Syracuse University's fast-break counterattack was never alone.

Just as Qin Hao made a steal and launched a fast break, Butler, Holbert, and Felton all rushed forward at the fastest speed.Except for Browning, the Marquette University players reacted a bit slower. When they heard Browning's reminder, it was too late to launch a chase.

For a while, Browning completed the retreat alone, and faced several people from Syracuse University alone.

After Qin Hao came to the frontcourt, he went straight to the basket. Browning hesitated for a moment, and then rushed to Qin Hao. At this moment, Qin Hao passed the ball, a ground-hit pass, and the basketball bounced off Browning's feet and flew to the left. side.

"It's over." Browning sighed secretly.

I saw a figure attacking from the left side, it was Butler, he grabbed the basketball, and took advantage of the opportunity to slam dunks with one hand, powerful and domineering.

Bang!
With a bang, the basketball was dunked into the basket by Butler. His dunk was so explosive that the basket was deformed and creaked.

And behind the basketball hoop were several reporters, all of them were stunned and opened their mouths wide, holding a SLR camera in their hands but forgot to press the shutter.

When Butler landed, he turned around and gave Qin Hao a high-five, and the two quickly returned to defense before they realized: "Oh, I forgot to press the shutter just now."

"I forgot too."

"Who would have thought that there would be such a wonderful goal at the beginning of the game? It's a pity that such a wonderful fast-break dunk was not photographed."

Several reporters were all sorry, but they quickly adjusted their mood.

There was such a wonderful goal at the beginning of the game, so today's game will definitely not disappoint them, it doesn't matter if you miss one, there will always be a second
