Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 486 Rekindling Morale
Halftime, Syracuse University dugout.

Butler threw the towel on the ground.

"Jimmy." Qin Hao frowned and shouted.

Butler's face was ugly, but he still picked up the towel.

Qin Hao shook his head, stopped Butler's shoulder, and said: "Jimmy, we didn't play very well in the first half. I know you are depressed, but the game is not over yet. Even if you want to vent, you have to hold back. Like What you did just now will only make our team atmosphere worse and morale will be even lower."

"I..." Butler opened his mouth, but he didn't refute after all. He was not stupid. He knew that Qin Hao was right and that Qin Hao was doing it for his own good. It's a tournament, and if you lose one game, you're done."

How could Qin Hao not understand this?
In fact, Qin Hao could also understand Butler. After all, Butler was only in his twenties at this time, and he was still a young man with a lot of vigor, not to mention that he had always been a person with a strong desire to win.

Not just Butler, other players on the team, Holbert, Felton, Jefferson, Flathead, White, Ellis, Connor
At this time, they were all very depressed, with gloomy expressions, and the rest area of ​​Syracuse University was quiet, which made people feel depressing.

That is to say, Qin Hao can be regarded as a man of two lifetimes, otherwise he would not be much better than his teammates.

It's not that Syracuse University has encountered difficulties, and it's not that they haven't fallen behind. They have also lost, and they have lost a lot of games, but today is different from the past.

In the past, it was only the regular season and playoffs of the Big East League, but now it is even, there are [-] fans watching them, and FOX is facing the live broadcast of the whole network, and countless fans are watching this in front of the computer. A game, supporting them.

Every Syracuse player wants to win this game, and if they win, they will enter the "Elite Eight", only one step away from the Midwest Championship.

But if you lose, the season is over, and you can go home.

Therefore, the pressure faced by the players at this time is several times that of the past. This kind of pressure is a severe test for a group of young players in their twenties.

"Brothers." Qin Hao stood up, he knew he had to do something, and he couldn't let the oppressive atmosphere continue.

The players raised their heads and looked at Qin Hao.

Coach Fox and assistant coach Harry also looked at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao took a deep breath and said, "I know you all want to win, and I do too. I also know what this game means to us. Since this game is so important, how can we win the game before it's over?" Lost fighting spirit?"

"It's only the first half. We are behind and at a disadvantage, but I believe this will never continue in the second half."

"All the way, preseason, regular season, playoffs, and now the championship. We have encountered one opponent after another, and encountered various difficulties and ups and downs." Qin Hao said loudly: "But I have come, Never get discouraged, let alone give up."

Hearing this, the players' eyes lit up.

Everyone's eyes were shining with light, their blood was boiling, the cells in their bodies were screaming, their fighting spirit began to ache, and their fighting spirit was burning.

"I was never discouraged or gave up before, and it's the same now." Butler stood up and said loudly, "Gah, Qin is right, it's only the first half."

Qin Hao nodded with a smile, but couldn't help complaining in his heart, adding the word "Gan", why does it sound so blind?

Players spoke one after another, and their morale was rekindled.

Seeing this scene, Coach Fox and Assistant Coach Harry looked at each other and smiled with relief.

At this time, morale is extremely critical, the team is at a disadvantage, and the game is extremely important. Under tremendous pressure, the players' emotions can easily collapse.

Once it collapses, there is no need to play the game.

Originally, Coach Fox was going to cheer up the players, encourage them, and mobilize their fighting spirit. Only when the fighting spirit came back and the morale was rekindled, could we talk about other things.

But now it seems that there is no need for him to make a move.

"Come here, let me tell you something." Coach Fox shouted, and the players gathered around. Coach Fox spread out the tactical board and pointed to the inside line. "First of all, we need to fight for rebounds."

In a blink of an eye, the intermission is over.

Players from both sides returned to the field, both in the main lineup. Syracuse University attacked, and Felton advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

This time, Felton didn't pass the ball to Qin Hao immediately, and Qin Hao didn't catch the ball, but started to move, interspersed along the inside line, got rid of the defender, and came to the right corner to receive the ball outside the three-point line.

Seeing this situation, the players from Michigan State immediately rushed towards Qin Hao, thinking that he was about to shoot a three-pointer.

Although other Syracuse University players were inaccurate in the first half, Qin Hao's three-pointer was still very lethal, so he had to be careful.

The defender rushed over, but Qin Hao didn't hesitate, still jumped up, looked directly at the basket, and flicked his wrist.
Swish!
The goal was scored and a three-pointer was hit.

Dozens of seconds later, Michigan State went on the offensive, and Butler jumped up vigorously, collided with Yudo in the air, knocked Yudo away, and grabbed the rebound.

"Counterattack!"

Syracuse fought back.

All of a sudden, several players rushed forward.

In the half-court battle, Michigan State's tight defense could defend Syracuse University, but in this kind of counterattack, Michigan State University was limited by the speed of movement, so it was impossible to build an effective team in the first place. Defense, you can only sigh helplessly.

Butler came to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Qin Hao, Qin Hao passed it to Holbert, Holbert was completely open, adjusted slightly, took a look at the basket, and then shot
Swish!
The goal was scored, and it was another three-pointer.

Driven by Qin Hao and Butler, the morale of Syracuse University was rekindled, the fighting spirit was high, and every player tried their best.With the active efforts of the players, Syracuse University began to increase its rebounds, steals and counterattacks.

Once the counterattack started, the power of Syracuse University's "running and bombing tactics" began to be revealed.

"This counterattack is too fierce."

"Come on, come on, this is Syracuse University's 'running and bombing', fast counterattack, sharp three-pointer, tsk tsk"

But in a short time, Syracuse University reversed the trend. With a wave of sharp "running and bombing", they quickly chased the points, and quickly chased the point difference to only 1 point.

Until Michigan State University requested a timeout, more than six minutes later in the second half, Syracuse University had quietly overtaken the score.

This is the frightening thing about "running and bombing". Once the game goes smoothly, the speed of chasing points is absolutely astonishing.

However, the game isn't over yet.
