Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 501 New teammate, new season!
The arrival of Jiang Xue made Qin Hao's life a little bit more colorful, no longer three o'clock and one line every day, either in the arena or in the classroom.

When he wasn't training, he would accompany Jiang Xue to read books and bask in the sun on the school lawn. The two of them were like a golden couple, and they would attract a lot of envious and jealous eyes wherever they went.

It's a little regretful that Qin Hao's dream of cohabitation outside of school still failed to come true. Jiang Xue's mother personally sent Jiang Xue here, so Qin Hao naturally couldn't make such a suggestion.

In the end, Jiang Xue chose to live in the dormitory, but Qin Hao specially found the school teacher and assigned her a dormitory for two people, and the roommate was Chinese.

This satisfied Jiang Xue, and rewarded Qin Hao with a sweet kiss.

Coming to the United States, Jiang Xue can finally let herself go without an annoying elder brother.

Entering September, freshmen are enrolled, and new players from the Orange team also come to report one after another. There are three people in total, one center forward and two forwards.

This was specially selected by Coach Fox. The team has no shortage of guards. Qin Hao and Felton are the starters, and Ed and White are the substitutes. This is enough.

The three new teammates, the center named Holman, is a Caucasian guy, 208cm tall, with a soft touch and good skills, but he is a bit thin, but his jumping and wingspan are excellent.

This is why Coach Fox chose him, using him to protect the rebound.

One of the two forwards is Josh, 197cm tall, black, with good physical fitness, strong muscles, good at hitting the basket, and good scoring ability.

The other is called Tucker, also a black player, 201cm tall, with excellent physical fitness and excellent wingspan. He is good at defense, but at the same time he also has the ability to handle the ball. The ball ability, the disadvantage is that the shooting ability is average, whether it is three-pointers or two-pointers, it is not stable enough.

The first thing the three of them did when they came to the team was to build a good relationship with Qin Hao and Butler.

Of course, Qin Hao and Butler will not crowd out newcomers like Holbert and the others, and enthusiastically accept the three new teammates.

A month later, the preseason kicks off.

Qin Hao and Butler didn't have much playing time in the preseason this time, because it wasn't necessary, and the time they played was also to practice tactics.

Holbert and Cole graduated, and the team's lineup also needed to be adjusted. Coach Fox put forward Greg on the starting lineup as the starting small forward, still playing "run and shoot tactics", Jefferson and Butler were in charge of the inside, Qin Hao and Felton are in charge of the outside line.

In several preseason games, Coach Fox gave the three rookies a lot of opportunities, especially Tucker, who averaged 20 minutes per game.

"It seems that the coach attaches great importance to Tucker." Butler said with a smile.

A preseason game was going on, and Tucker was on the court, while Qin Hao and Butler didn't play after the first half, sitting on the sidelines drinking Gatorade and chatting.

"Blind people can see it." Qin Hao rolled his eyes, "Is this something unclear? But I think the coach's expectations of Tucker are still higher than your expectations."

"Oh?" Butler raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

Qin Hao looked at the court, pondered for a moment, and said, "I think the coach may want Tucker to start."

what?
Butler was taken aback, scratched his head and cried in a low voice: "Impossible? A rookie freshman, and although Tucker is talented, he is not particularly good. His shooting is not stable enough, and he doesn't have many scoring methods." , as long as the defense is okay. He is not as good as Ed in terms of strength, so why let him start?"

Qin Hao shook his head, and asked back: "It stands to reason that Ed's ability can be used as a starter long ago, so why do you say he has always been a substitute?"

"This..." Butler was at a loss for words, frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "You mean, the coach will keep Ed on the bench for the sake of the overall situation, while Tucker may be put in the starting lineup?"

Qin Hao smiled without saying a word.

Anyway, he thinks so, the team is still playing "run and bomb tactics", myself and Felton, as well as Butler and Jefferson, these four positions will not change, if they change, they will only be small forwards Location.In fact, Greg is not the most suitable person for "running and gunning".

From last season's defeat, Qin Hao could see that the team needed to improve its defense, and he didn't believe that Coach Fox couldn't see this.

So, on the premise of maintaining the "run and bomb tactics", how to improve the defense?

The four points of Qin Hao, Felton, Butler, and Jefferson remain unchanged. It is necessary to use a good defensive player at the small forward position.

Tucker is 201cm tall, has excellent physical fitness, excellent wingspan, good static conditions, and good defensive awareness. In addition, he also has the ability to handle the ball. This is a quality that Greg does not have, and "running and bombing tactics" are Several players are required to have the ability to handle the ball.

There is no doubt that from these aspects, Tucker is more suitable as the starting small forward than Greg.

But definitely not now, Tucker is only a freshman after all, there are still many deficiencies and flaws, and there is also a lack of experience, and it takes time to hone.

Of course, from Qin Hao's point of view, it doesn't really matter who starts and who substitutes. If necessary, it's not impossible for him to play as a substitute.

After one season, Qin Hao is already familiar with the NCAA, and has already proved his strength with actions and various honors. His vision has improved, so he has to look at the problem from the overall situation.

As long as it is helpful to the team, can make the team better, and can help the team fight for the ncaa championship, Qin Hao thinks it is all right.

He looked at Ed on the field, and secretly said: "I still have to talk to Ed and enlighten him."

Over the past year, Ed has improved a lot. In terms of personal strength, he can already rank third in the team. Except for Qin Hao and Butler, everyone else is not as good as him.

For the starting position, he naturally has ideas.

It's just that Coach Fox has never wanted him to start, and Ed is also very depressed. Qin Hao thinks he needs to enlighten him, because it is very likely that he will never even think about starting this season.

At the end of a preseason game, Syracuse University lost to its opponent.

But no one from the top to the bottom of the Orange team cared about the gains and losses at this moment, and they no longer needed to care about these details.

It was also Syracuse's last preseason game.

After the game, Qin Hao found Ed, chatted with him, and enlightened him.In the end, Ed expressed his understanding with a gloomy face. The resentful eyes looked like a girl who had been abandoned from the beginning to the end. Qin Hao saw a chill and kicked Ed on the ass, which made Ed return to normal.

A few days later, the Big East Conference kicked off, and Syracuse University also ushered in the first regular season of the 2009-2010 season.
