Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 455 Empty Pickup, Have You Asked Me?

"Make up the defense faster." Coach Wright shouted towards the field.

Tai Lun was a little depressed. He actually made up the defense in time just now, but he didn't expect Qin Hao to make a fadeaway jumper, so he couldn't help it.

But the coach said so, he still had to nod to show his understanding.

To Coach Wright's relief, when the defense turned to offense, Villanova found an opportunity after several passes, and guard Pound made a layup.

But only a few tens of seconds later, Qin Hao made another mid-range shot.In order to limit Qin Hao's three-pointers, point guard Vogt had to defend to the three-point line, and once he was passed by Qin Hao, even the inside players immediately stepped forward to defend, and there was a vacuum in the middle.

This gave Qin Hao a chance to make a move.

Of course, the opportunity is fleeting, Qin Hao must move quickly, and sometimes in order to avoid the opponent's block, he has to choose a more difficult way of shooting.

This is a test of the player's ability.

Fortunately, Qin Hao felt good today. He had a shot, a fadeaway jumper, and a pull-up jumper. He scored 2 points by himself in less than 4 minutes, which made Coach Wright very unhappy.

Afterwards, Villanova University shrunk the defensive line and further compressed Qin Hao's shooting space. Qin Hao reduced his shots and turned to splitting the ball to attract the defense and pass the ball to the teammate in the best position.

The teammates are also strong, and all the goals that should be shot are scored.

Unknowingly, the gap between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.

"beep"

Coach Wright calls for a timeout.

On Syracuse University's side, Coach Fox praised the players a few words, then made a substitution, replacing Holbert and Felton, and began to gradually replace them with substitute players.

Qin Hao and Butler still stayed on the court, but instead of playing "running and bombing", they relied on the personal abilities of Qin Hao and Butler. The two did not disappoint the fans and coaches. There is a small cooperation, which makes the players of Villanova University incompetent and furious.

Two minutes later, Qin Hao and Butler were also replaced.

At this time Syracuse University led by 11 points.

"Tsk tsk, we're leading by 11 points." Mike put down the camera, looked at Papani with admiration and fear, and said, "Papani, how did you do it? Why do you think The teams that can win are like a curse, and they all lose in the end?"

"Villanova University hasn't lost yet." Papani said depressingly.

But as soon as he said it, he regretted it.

Wouldn't this be equivalent to admitting what Mike said?
In fact, Papani himself is also very depressed. Why is this happening? Is it really the mysterious oriental magic? Every time it is a game related to Syracuse University, as long as he predicts it, the result must be the opposite.

"Should I go to Qin and apologize to him, maybe this weird oriental magic will disappear after he forgives me." Papani thought to himself.

on the field.

Unknowingly, the first half came to an end, and Syracuse University still led by 9 points.

Villanova University is indeed stronger than the University of Louisville, at least the strength of the substitute lineup is much stronger than that of Villanova University, and Syracuse University does not take advantage of the rotation time of a few minutes.

Entering the second half, Coach Wright did not change his strategy, but only further emphasized the defense against Qin Hao and his own offense.

Perhaps Coach Wright's repeated emphasis played a role. In the second half, Villanova University's offense was greatly improved. The players felt good and had a high shooting percentage.

For 3 minutes in a row, Villanova University only missed one shot. Although Syracuse University played well, it still fell into a disadvantage, and the point difference was narrowed to only 5 points.

"Good job."

"Villanova University, come on, play like this, catch up with the score."

Seeing that the point difference gradually narrowed, the Villanova University fans in the auditorium also became excited, shouting loudly, cheering for the home team.

on the field.

Todd stood outside the three-point line, first asked for a pick-and-roll, caught the pick-and-roll and threw Qin Hao away, and then broke through, but the speed was not fast. When the defender rushed over, he suddenly jumped up and threw the ball with one hand.

"No, be careful with empty picks."

On the edge of the court, Assistant Coach Harry yelled.

The ball looked like a throw, but it was actually an alley-oop. Todd gave it well. The basketball passed Jefferson and Butler and flew to the right side of the basket. Tyron was standing there, and he could jump up. Complete an alley-oop dunk.

But when Tyron jumped up, a figure was faster than him, jumped up in front of him, stretched out his arms, surpassed the basket, and caught the basketball in front of Taylor.

"It's Qin!"

People exclaimed.

A group of Villanova University fans were heartbroken. They thought it would be a beautiful alley-oop dunk, but Qin Hao caught it.

"Empty pick-up? Have you asked me?" Qin Hao sneered.

Just now when Todd used the pick-and-roll to break through, Qin Hao guessed it without rushing to make a shot, so he rushed inside first and intercepted the ball.

Qin Hao landed and immediately launched a fast attack. After a few steps, he had already crossed the center line. There was no one behind him, but there was Todd beside him, but Qin Hao accelerated again.

The already fast speed was two points faster, and he threw off Todd all of a sudden, stepped into the three-point line, and then a gliding dunk.

"This ball is beautiful."

People exclaimed and clicked their tongues.

This ball had a great blow to the morale of Villanova University, and it became a turning point. Originally, Villanova University had gradually recovered from the decline, but after this ball, they lost their advantage again, and the point difference soon widened again , and is close to the very mark.

Seeing that the score was about to reach double digits, Coach Wright called a timeout.

But this timeout didn't help much. Syracuse University's offensive was still fierce. After Qin Hao, Butler also broke out and scored consecutive points.

Before halftime in the second half, the point difference widened to 12 points.

Afterwards, the two sides replaced the bench lineup, and Villanova University chased a little bit, but the effect was not great. When the main players such as Qin Hao and Butler returned to the court, Syracuse University quickly gained the upper hand.

Until the end of the game, Syracuse University defeated Villanova University 89:81, successfully passed the second round and advanced to the final.

Qin Hao played well in this game, scoring 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists, Butler scored 23 points, Holbert scored 15 points, Pingtou scored 10 points, plus 4 assists.
At the same time, another 4-to-2 game also ended.

When Qin Hao got the news, he was also taken aback. The match between Marquette University and University of Connecticut turned out to be Marquette University’s second-ranked opponent, and defeated the University of Connecticut University as the fourth place in the Big East regular season. League first.

This is somewhat unexpected, after all, Connecticut's strength lies there.

In this way, Syracuse University and Marquette University will advance to the finals, and the two teams will meet in the finals.
