Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 535 It's time to harvest the competition!
Although there is no Qin Hao on the field, there are Butler and Brother Pingtou. Under their leadership, Syracuse University still has the upper hand. By the time Butler is replaced, Syracuse University has already led by 9 points .

Seeing that Qin Hao and Butler were both off the court, Michigan State suddenly felt that the opportunity to chase points had come.

But Brother Pingtou poured cold water on them. I saw him hitting the inside and scoring again and again. He scored a layup and caused a foul on the defender. He made two free throws at the free throw line and scored 4 points in a row to help Syracuse Steadily hold the lead of nearly [-] points.

Then Qin Hao was sent on again, and Michigan State University lost the best chance to chase points. The point difference between the two sides remained at about 45 points until the end of the first half, with a score of 35:10 and Syracuse University leading by [-] points.

Scoring 45 points at halftime proved that Syracuse University played very well today.

In fact, Michigan State did not play badly. They scored 35 points in the half, which is their average level this season. After all, they are not a team that is good at scoring. They scored 60-70 points in a game. That's their norm.

Today's problem is still not being able to prevent Syracuse University's offense. Even though Michigan State University scored 35 points, Syracuse University scored 45 points.

"Our defense needs to be better." Coach Matt said with a black face.

Originally, Michigan State University was good at defense, and they had no other options except to emphasize defense and adjust defensive strategies.

A group of players feel aggrieved, but they also know that there is no excuse. Even though they have tried their best, the facts are in front of them, and they are [-] points behind. This is what they did not do well.

"It seems that Syracuse University is stronger."

"Well, after all, Syracuse University has the double-star combination of Qin and Butler, which Michigan State does not have. And today Butler is in very good form and played really well. It is only the end of the first half, and he seems to have got 16 points, right? Tsk tsk, it will definitely be no problem to score 20+ today."

During the intermission, the audience was discussing.

The best player today was not Qin Hao, but Butler. At halftime, Qin Hao scored 11 points, while Butler scored 16 points. The two scored 27 points together, accounting for Syracuse University's score. More than half.

It was precisely because of Butler's outstanding performance that Michigan State's strategy failed. They wanted to guard against others, and their plan to let Qin Hao score alone failed.

The second half begins.

Entering the second half, Michigan State changed its defensive strategy, began to strengthen its defense against Qin Hao, and used double-teaming.

Coach Matt could see that it was Butler who scored the most points at Syracuse University in the first half, but Qin Hao's role cannot be ignored. His breakthroughs and his passing are very important.

Since the defensive strategy in the first half failed, then change it and focus on defending Qin Hao.

"I hope it works." Coach Matt didn't know what to do. The reason why he didn't use it at first was because Qin Hao could play off the ball and shoot extremely accurately. The last game between Syracuse University and Ohio State University proved everything. Double-teaming is not enough. Restrain Qin Hao.

Of course, Coach Matt also has a glimmer of hope. Maybe Qin Hao is in full form in the match between Syracuse University and Ohio State University, and he performed supernormally?
Although this may not be great.

"Finally can't help double-teaming?" Qin Hao smiled slightly, quickly distributed the ball, passed it to his teammates, and then started running by himself, circled around the inside line, and went to the other side to catch the ball.

But to his surprise, Green rushed up just after receiving the ball and successfully interfered with his shooting. The three-pointer missed.

In the next few rounds, Green defended very well. His defensive sense was very keen, and his defensive awareness was also very good.

However, after the first half of the game, Green's defense against Qin Hao has indeed become better and better. He is tall and long, with excellent physical fitness, coupled with a keen sense of smell and excellent awareness, which has brought a lot to Qin Hao. trouble.

In the past, facing double teams, Qin Hao usually passed the ball, then used his speed and running position to get rid of the defender, and then looked for opportunities to catch the ball and shoot, that is, to play off the ball.

I didn't expect Green to be able to defend well without the ball.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be guarded sometimes." Butler said jokingly.

"What's so strange about this? Just because you can't guard against me doesn't mean others can't. It's just that your defense is poor." Qin Hao rolled his eyes and hit.

In fact, Butler's defense is really not bad. After entering the NBA, he also entered the second team of the All-Defensive Team. Although he has not made it for a while, he is not the top of the NCAA, but he is also very good.

It's just that there are specializations in the art industry.

Butler's face darkened, but he had no way to refute it. Now that he was fighting Qin Hao in private, he lost more than he won, and he didn't have the face to say that he could guard against Qin Hao.

"Jimmy." Qin Hao's expression became solemn, "I'll hold back the defense later, and you attack."

"Yeah." Butler nodded.

In the next few rounds, after Qin Hao was double-teamed, he split the ball, and then began to run all over the court, interfering with the opponent's defense and diverting the defense's attention, but it was actually Butler who came to attack.

In fact, even if Green's defense is excellent, Qin Hao is not unable to score, but Butler is in good condition today, so Qin Hao does not need to play like the last game.

And Butler did not disappoint Qin Hao, and continued the state of the first half. With Qin Hao holding back the defense, he also had better scoring opportunities, breaking through layups, counterattacking dunks, making three-pointers from the outside, and making free throws. Butler Dominated Syracuse University's offense and scored points like crazy.

Before halftime in the second half, Butler had scored 24 points.

Meanwhile, Syracuse still leads by 11 points.

However, Michigan State University did not give up. They launched a counterattack when they entered the rotation time, and their defense was further strengthened, becoming tougher and more aggressive.

Unknowingly, the Michigan State general caught up to only 5 points left.

"beep"

Coach Fox requests a timeout.

At this time, 14 minutes after the second half, the Pingtou brothers came to the court with ugly expressions.

"It's okay." Coach Fox comforted, looking at Qin Hao and Butler: "Qin, Jimmy, you two go."

"Yes."

"Okay, coach, don't worry, leave it to us."

The two got up.

Coach Fox smiled slightly, showing confidence in them. He spread out the tactical board, rearranged the tactics, and said, "There are 6 minutes left, boys, play hard and win the game."

"Yes."

"Syracuse University must win!"

Several people responded in unison.

Qin Hao walked onto the court, looked at Butler beside him, and said, "It's time to reap the game."

Butler chuckled and licked his lips.
