Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 515 Syracuse University Tournament Mode
A group of Cleveland State players looked at the coach, and the coach looked at them, and the two looked at each other for a while, both a little depressed.

Originally, coach Hayes felt that even if there was a gap in strength between Syracuse University and his team, there were no players like Qin Hao and Butler on his side, but Syracuse University did not have a high inside line, at least he should still have the upper hand on the inside line.

But now.
"It's not just that the outside line can't gain the upper hand, even the inside line can't." Coach Hayes sighed secretly. The most terrifying thing is not that the opponent has stars like Qin Hao and Butler, or how sharp the opponent's counterattack is, but that he seems like himself. There is no advantage in either position.

There is no advantage at all, how can we fight?
In the end, Coach Hayes took a deep breath and said, "We need to run more, pass more, and play our tactics, understand?"

"Understood." A group of players responded in unison.

But Coach Hayes could tell from their voices that they didn't have much confidence.

Coach Hayes can't do anything about this. He can encourage the players, he can motivate the generals, but that will only be effective if the difference in strength between the two sides is not large.

Now the opponent has dunked three times in a row at the beginning of the game, making it 6:0, and the strength gap between the two sides is obviously very large. The players naturally understand where this is.

In this case, what he said was useless.

Here at Syracuse University.

Coach Fox looked serious and did not relax. He nodded approvingly at the players and said, "Let's play like this. We did a good job defending. We must keep defending well and fight more counterattacks."

"Yes." Qin Hao and the others agreed loudly.

The pause ends soon.

The two sides returned to the court, and Cleveland State University began to stop blindly attacking the inside and began to play team tactics, constantly moving and passing the ball.

That's what they're good at, they're a team attacking team in their own right.

In this way, Cleveland State University broke the scoring drought, but they still couldn't defend Syracuse University on the defensive end.

boom!
Cleveland State University missed a shot, and Jefferson got the rebound and passed it to Qin Hao.

"GO!"

Qin Hao shouted and rushed to the front court quickly.

A defensive player rushed up, but was dribbled behind by Qin Hao, then crossed the center line, rushed to the three-point line, and made a look like heading straight for the basket.

The players from Cleveland State University had just returned to their own half and hadn't set up their defense yet. Seeing the situation, they all ran to the inside and wanted to stop Qin Hao.

And at this moment, Qin Hao scored the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line, and Butler stood there, catching the ball was a three-point shot.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

After more than a minute, Qin Hao gave the ball to his teammate, and then suddenly ran back, mentioned that Jefferson, who was on the line, turned sideways and made a cover for Qin Hao. Qin Hao got rid of the defender and came to the three-point line at a [-]-degree angle on the left Outside, Tucker passed the ball to Qin Hao, who made a three-pointer.

Also enter.

In addition to Qin Hao and Butler, Felton, Tucker, and Jefferson are also scoring. Syracuse University's offense is very fast and extremely fierce. It is simply impossible to guard against.

Of course, there are times when Syracuse University does not get in.

For example, Qin Hao missed a fadeaway jumper and failed to make a pull-up three-pointer. Butler hit the inside and was interfered by the opponent and missed. Fortunately, the opponent fouled, but only made one free throw. Tucker made a three-pointer The ball missed, but made an air cut layup.
And these are nothing to Coach Fox, it's a normal thing, the team's overall shooting percentage exceeds [-]%, which is already very good.

"Well, I played pretty well today." Coach Fox nodded slowly.

"That's right." Assistant coach Harry said with a smile: "Although some balls were missed, most of the open balls had good chances and the earth went in. And we played 7 minutes in the first half, and we didn't make a single mistake. It’s really hard to come by.”

This is also what satisfies Coach Fox. It shows that the players played very focused today, and entering the championship, it is very important to focus on the game.

It is also because there were no mistakes in 7 minutes and the play was very smooth, so Coach Fox has not changed.

"beep"

After all, Coach Hayes couldn't bear it and called another timeout. After all, Cleveland State University was already 10 points behind.

in the audience.

"Syracuse University played really well today, everyone played well."

"Only 7 minutes into the first half, Syracuse University is already leading by double digits. Is this supposed to be Syracuse University's 'tournament mode'?"

Several fans sighed.

A fan next to him was wearing Qin Hao's jersey and holding the slogan "Syracuse University must win". At first glance, he looked like an old iron. You see, it is indeed a bit different compared to the regular season.”

Others also joined in.

This difference does not mean that the Syracuse University players did not give their best during the league game, and they are showing their full level at this time, but that their current promotion status is unmatched during the league game.

The two sides began to substitute players and entered the rotation time
In a blink of an eye, the game has entered the second half, and just after halftime, Syracuse University has extended its lead to 13 points.

Whether it is the main lineup or the bench lineup, Syracuse University has an absolute advantage.

In particular, Syracuse University's competitive state is very good today. On the other hand, Cleveland State University, perhaps because they were stunned by Syracuse University at the beginning of the game, their competitive state was not good throughout the game.Compared with the two, it is not surprising that Cleveland State University lags behind by more than ten points.

"Coach." Assistant Coach Harry looked at the field and asked Coach Fox, "Substitution?"

At this time, the team led by 13 points and has always had the advantage. It seems that it doesn't matter whether Qin Hao or Butler is replaced.

Coach Fox didn't think so, he said decisively: "Change. You can't take it lightly in any game, you must go all out, even if you lead by more than ten points."

Subsequently, coach Fox changed and gradually replaced the main players.

In this way, after a few minutes, Cleveland State University has no hope at all, because the point difference has become wider.

It wasn't until there were only 4 minutes left in the game and the point difference had widened to 16 points that Coach Fox replaced Qin Hao and Butler and gradually replaced them with a substitute lineup.

This time is really safe, Qin Hao and Butler's presence or absence on the court has no effect.

Finally, when the game ended, with a score of 90:78, Syracuse University defeated Cleveland State University by 12 points and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Midwest Division.
