Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 467 University of Arizona
"This atmosphere, tsk tsk." Brother Pingtou looked at the audience and clicked his tongue.

It was his first time to play in the NCAA Championships. Although he had experienced a game with more than [-] fans in the regular season and playoffs of the Big East, he saw far more than two to three thousand fans in the auditorium, and this He couldn't help being surprised by the fiery atmosphere, and he was a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, take it easy." Holbert said with a smile: "This is the championship, which is different from the league game. The league game is a home and away game system, either home or away. But the championship is a 'neutral field' , Look at the auditorium, there are our fans, there are also fans of the opponent, and there are many neutral fans. And the atmosphere of the championship is not comparable to that of the league games, and the fans are even crazier. You will know soon.”

Brother Pingtou had an "eyes-opened" expression on his face.

It was also the first time for Qin Hao and Butler to play in the NCAA Championships, but of course they couldn't be as hopeless as Brother Pingtou. Although they were excited inside, their expressions were well managed. Very good.

It took a long time for the noise to subside.

Just then, players from the University of Arizona also arrived.

For a while, cheers and boos sounded again from the auditorium, and the huge sound wave was like thunder.

Players from both sides have already come to the field and started to warm up. They are looking at each other with a murderous look in their eyes, and it seems that sparks are splashing imperceptibly.

This is a tournament, an elimination system, a game of life and death, so the two sides are enemies at this moment, and there is only one goal, which is to defeat the opponent!

"Bang!"

With a bang, the players from the University of Arizona staged a dunk, which was a kind of "offensive power", trying to overwhelm Syracuse University in momentum and at the same time show off their own strength.

White said to Qin Hao, "Qin, return one."

Qin Hao shook his head and said to Butler, "Jimmy, come on."

Qin Hao has always been very low-key, rarely dunking during warm-up, because dunking is actually not a warm-up, it is just a kind of "dismissal", or pure show off.

As for the last game, that is, in the Big East finals, he staged a dunk during the warm-up. It was because of his breakthrough in mid-range jumper ability, his mood was agitated, and he had an urge to vent.

"Okay." Butler smiled, and he was not polite. He dribbled two steps with the ball outside the three-point line, and jumped up to make a one-handed dunk.

Bang!
A loud bang caused the audience to scream again.

Qin Hao was observing the players of the University of Arizona. Coach Fox had given them a detailed introduction to the players of the University of Arizona before, and even had photos.

But even if there is no photo, Qin Hao can also recognize Jordan Hill of the University of Arizona and Zeiss Budinger.

These two are the ace players of the University of Arizona. The reason why Qin Hao can recognize them without a photo is because they will participate in the NBA draft after the end of the NCAA this season.

In the end, Jordan Hill was selected by the New York Knicks with the eighth pick in the first round, and Zeiss Budinger was selected by the Pistons with the 44th pick in this round, and was immediately traded to the Rockets.

Qin Hao had watched a lot of Rockets games, so he also had some impressions of Zeiss Budinger, the second-round pick.

Even though there is a big difference in draft picks between the two, their performance after arriving in the NBA is actually pretty much the same. The eldest brother, let alone the second brother, averaged only four or five points per game.

But in ncaa, they have very good data.

This season, Jordan Hill averaged 18.3 points and 11.0 rebounds per game at the University of Arizona. In one of the games, he even scored 25 points and 18 rebounds per game.

And Zeiss Budinger's performance in the second round is not bad, with 18.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. At least his physical fitness is not good enough, so he was reduced to the second round pick, and the draft with teammate Jordan Hill The ranking gap is a bit big.

"One is 208cm and the other is 201cm. They both average about 18 points per game, and together, they average 17.2 rebounds per game." Qin Hao looked at the two, thinking of Coach Fox's introduction in his mind, "The University of Arizona's front line and inside line Very strong, good scoring ability and rebounding ability."

Syracuse University's "running and bombing tactics" have high requirements for rebounds, especially backcourt rebounds, which is actually very unfavorable for a team like the University of Arizona.

"Sure enough, after entering the tournament, the opponents will be stronger and more difficult to deal with." Qin Hao took a deep breath, looked away, asked his teammates for the ball, and then shot a three-pointer.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

The corners of Qin Hao's mouth turned up, revealing a smile, feeling pretty good today.

The dunk duel between the two sides did not last long. Of course, the players from the University of Arizona dunks are not a problem, but they lack aesthetics, and Butler’s dunks are actually not aesthetic.

"If Qin makes a move, he will definitely be able to calm them down." Brother Pingtou said unwillingly.

"Okay." Qin Hao smiled and said, "The match hasn't started yet, so I won't be polite if I get deducted later."

After some warm-up, the two sides returned to the field.

Here at Syracuse University.

Coach Fox is making pre-match arrangements: "The opponent's Hill is a player with excellent rebounding ability. In addition, the power forward Reedman is also 206cm tall, and there is also a forward Budinger. We are a bit disadvantaged in height. Especially inside, rebounding is a disadvantage."

"So we've got to rebound, everybody's got to fight, you know?"

Qin Hao and others all agreed.

Coach Fox nodded, and said: "Also, you should pay attention to Hill and Budinger when defending. Hill is very capable inside, and Budinger is a shooting forward. Qin, you will be responsible for defending Budinger later. , Reedman to Jimmy. Holbert and Felton guard the opposing guard."

"At the offensive end, we still play according to our tactics. We must bring up the rhythm. The opponent's Hill, Redman, and Budinger have height and rebounding ability, but speed is not their strong point."

After some arrangements, Coach Fox took a deep breath, with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "Boys, this is a championship, since it's 'March Madness', let's go crazy and let our opponents take a good look at us Strength."

"Yes."

Everyone roared in unison, and their morale was like a rainbow.

Not far away, coach Bruno of the University of Arizona has also arranged, and players from both sides came to the field.

Qin Hao and his teammates looked at each other, everyone's eyes were sharp, because they had been looking forward to the NCAA Championship for a long time.
