Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 468 Absolute disadvantage
On the opposite side, a group of players from the University of Arizona had a cold light in their eyes, with grim expressions and a menacing look.

The University of Arizona is the No. 12 seed. It is not difficult to see from the seed ranking that in the eyes of the selection committee, their strength is not as good as Syracuse University.

Therefore, for the University of Arizona, there is no room for chance in this game. They must show a desperate posture from the beginning, and only in this way can they overcome the situation.

"Brothers." Jordan Hill raised his arms and said loudly: "Since we have entered the championship, we shouldn't just go through the motions and lose in the first round. Although Syracuse University is very strong, we also Not weak, let us beat Syracuse University today and use actions to prove our strength."

"Ah."

"Beat Syracuse University!"

"Isn't it the No. 5 seed? Who said that the lower-ranked teams can't beat the higher-ranked teams. Today we are going to upset and kill Syracuse University."

Several University of Arizona players shouted in unison.

Indeed, there is no shortage of upset games in the NCAA championship games. In the example above, there were a few of them last season.

上赛季64进32的比赛中，西区13号种子圣迭戈大学以70：69击败了4号种子康涅狄格大学，一分险胜，爆出了大大的冷门儿。

On the same day, Western Kentucky University, the No. 12 seed in the Southern District, defeated No. 101 seed Drake University 99:5.

还有10号种子戴维森学院以82：76击败了7号种子冈萨加大学，戴维斯学院的当家球星斯蒂芬-库里全场23投14中，3分球11投8中，下半场得到30分，全场疯狂拿下40分，一个人包揽了球队一半的得分。

So the players at the University of Arizona are high-spirited, because many teams have done it before, can't they?

"beep"

The game officially begins.

The starters sent by Syracuse University are still Jefferson, Butler, Qin Hao, Holbert, and Felton.

The University of Arizona's starting five are center Hill, power forward Redman, small forward Budinger, shooting guard Harkless, and point guard Collison.

Hill is 208cm tall and has a dreadlock. He is a black guy with strong physical fitness. He gives people a fierce feeling. Compared with Jefferson, he has an advantage in height and bounce, so there is no suspense in jumping the ball. Hill won. Slap the ball to the backcourt and Arizona gets the ball.

And Syracuse University has already finished retreating, Qin Hao and the others don't have any expectations for Jefferson's jump ball, and they are used to it.

Guard Collison is a black guy with a height of 190cm. He is lean and fast. He pushes the ball to the frontcourt in a blink of an eye.

Collison first took a look at the situation on the field, and his eyes stayed on Qin Hao and Butler for a while, then he asked for a pick-and-roll, but he didn't want to hit it himself, but made a sudden point, and moved to the right after passing the ball. Run outside the three-point line in the right bottom corner, and wave to teammates at the same time, letting teammates pass the ball to the inside.

The Arizona player moves to the right to make room for the left, and the ball goes to Hill in the low post on the left.

The purpose is very clear, which is to give Hill a single.

It's no secret that Syracuse University is playing "run-and-gun tactics". The University of Arizona has naturally studied it, and head coach Bruno has also made some countermeasures. The most important one is to take advantage of his own inside advantage. Attack each other's weaknesses.

Syracuse University naturally understands this, so seeing Hill's single play, Jefferson obviously couldn't stand it, so Holbert immediately leaned over to help Jefferson defend.

Seeing someone coming to help defend, Hill gave the ball to the outside, and the University of Arizona's transfer of the ball suddenly became faster. Seizing this opportunity, it was given to Budinger who had the best opportunity. Budinger raised his hand and it was a A three-pointer was shot and hit hollow.

"nice shot."

"Budding, Budding"

University of Arizona fans in the auditorium began to applaud.

But before they were happy for a few seconds, Syracuse University immediately launched a counterattack. Jefferson served from the backcourt and passed it to Felton.Felton got the ball and didn't advance by himself, because Qin Hao, Butler, and Holbert had already rushed to the frontcourt immediately and passed the center line.

He pushed with both hands and sent the ball forward.

In a blink of an eye, the ball has reached the frontcourt. Qin Hao received the ball and dribbled a step forward, making a gesture to pass it to Butler on the other side. The guard Harkless, who had retreated hastily, subconsciously threw himself at Butler.

"not good."

Harkless knew he had been fooled as soon as he threw it.

Qin Hao didn't pass the ball at all, it was just a fake move. After deceiving Harkless, he took the ball back, adjusted it, and then jumped up and shot a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The goal is also a three-pointer.

The score became 3:3.

"It's too fast." Harkless sighed secretly, "Syracuse University's offense was too fast, we didn't even have time to set up a defense line, and we couldn't defend in a hurry."

The attack on Syracuse University took less than 5 seconds, with almost no dribble, and the ball went from the backcourt to the frontcourt in a blink of an eye, and the University of Arizona players had no time to retreat.Harkless didn't have time to think whether Qin Hao really wanted to pass the ball, so he threw it subconsciously.

And because Hill, Redman, and Budinger are not fast enough, only he and Collison can return to the defense in time, which is equivalent to 2 defenses and 3 defenses.

"Retreat quickly." Coach Bruno frowned and shouted to the field.

Several players agreed in unison and started to attack.

This time it was still given to the inside, and once Syracuse University assisted in the defense, Hill immediately distributed the ball outside, the ball was given to Harkless, and Harkless received the ball as a three-pointer.

boom!
He didn't score this time, but Hill overpowered Jefferson, got the offensive rebound, and then pushed Jefferson away, jumping up and making a dunk.

Tens of seconds later, Hill mentioned the pick-and-roll on the line. Chris used the pick-and-roll to break through, and Hill immediately rolled inside after the pick-and-roll. He and Collison had a good understanding. Collison hit the ground and passed the ball. It bounced off his feet and fell into Hill's hands.

Bang!
Another dunk.

After only a few rounds in the first half, Syracuse University's internal problems have been exposed. Hill scored 4 points in a row, and Jefferson was completely useless against Hill.

"After all, we are still at an absolute disadvantage inside." Assistant coach Harry sighed, and looked at Coach Fox, "Coach, do you want to adjust and shrink the defense?"

"Let's wait and see." Coach Fox pondered: "Defense is not our advantage, our advantage is offense."
