Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 549 Final opponent University of Kentucky!
The development of the game was also as Qin Hao expected. From the beginning, the University of Kentucky had the upper hand and maintained the lead.

However, Kentucky is different from many teams. Many of their players are freshmen. Kentucky is a strong team. There have also been many talented players, but I don’t know why. Kentucky only played one year, and then entered the NBA draft.

At this time, the two freshman players Wall and Cousins ​​led the field, in addition to Darius Miller, Patrick Patterson and others.

Whether it is inside or outside, the strength is very good and very balanced.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Wall and Cousins ​​completed the cooperation. After Wall broke through, he split the ball and threw the ball to the basket. Cousins ​​directly caught a dunk.

Butler raised his eyebrows and said: "Wall's breakthrough ability is indeed very good, and in terms of organizational ability, he is stronger than Irving."

Qin Hao nodded: "Irving is more of a shooting guard, while Wall is more of a point guard. In terms of scoring ability alone, Wall is definitely not as good as Irving, but in terms of organizational ability, Irving is not as good as Wall. The two are just Each has its own characteristics."

"However." After a pause, Qin Hao said again: "If it's a team with outstanding inside players, I think everyone should like Wall more."

We played six or seven minutes in the first half. Comparing the performance of Wall and Cousins ​​in these six and seven minutes with the combination of Irving + Plumlee, it is obvious that Wall + Cousins ​​is better.

Before Syracuse University vs. Duke University, Irving scored 26 points, but Plumlee Jr., as the team's main center, only scored 14 points.

Of course, if you only look at the data, 14 points is not bad, and Plumlee's scoring average this season is just like this.

However, Syracuse University played a "small lineup". Jefferson, the tallest among the starting players, was only 203cm. With the lack of height inside, Plumlee should have had many opportunities, but after one game, he Only got 14 points.

It can be seen that the role of Plumlee Jr. has not been fully utilized, and the performance of a center depends to a certain extent on whether there is a defender who can pass the ball.

Wall can continue to feed Cousins, create opportunities for him, and send assists, while Irving chooses to score more by himself.

It's not that Irving is inferior to Wall, it's just that with excellent inside players, a guard who can organize and pass the ball is obviously more useful than a guard who can only score.

However, this is not a good thing for Syracuse University.

"If we face the combination of Wall + Cousins ​​in the final, it will only be more difficult than the combination of Irving + Plumlee." Qin Hao thought to himself.

on the field.

In a blink of an eye, halfway through the first half, the two sides began to change into a rotation lineup, and Bledsoe was sent on the field as the team's "sixth man".

Bledsoe played very well. Under his leadership, the University of Kentucky's bench lineup firmly gained the upper hand, gradually expanding the already leading point difference.

Minutes later, Kentucky had an eight-point lead.

Then Butler University began to change players, gradually replacing the main players, but the effect was not obvious, and they were always at a disadvantage.

Until the second half, Hayward began to explode. First, he used the cover to get rid of the defense, and received a pass from his teammate outside the left three-point line for a three-pointer.

Then he broke through again, taking two steps forward with a change of direction, and then scored a jumper with an emergency stop, scoring five points in a row, helping Butler University narrow the gap.

But soon the University of Kentucky stabilized the situation. They strengthened their defense against Hayward and began to double-team Hayward.

When Hayward was double-teamed, Butler University lost its strongest point, and soon fell into a disadvantage again, and the point difference was widened again.

Then the two sides sent a substitute lineup, and the University of Kentucky even opened the point difference to more than ten points.

"Butler University is going to lose." Pingtou frowned slightly. This is not a good thing for Syracuse University. The strength of Kentucky University is very strong, which made him feel great pressure.

"Butler University only has Hayward as a strong point. Once he is double-teamed by the opponent, the team's offense will stagnate." Qin Hao nodded, "Also, Butler University's rotation is a lot worse. For a 'sixth man' like Leso, the point difference will be widened as soon as the rotation time comes. There are only a few minutes left in the game, but Butler University is 12 points behind, and the victory has already been decided."

In the last few minutes of the game, Butler University was still trying to reverse.

It's a pity that Hayward, the team's strongest point, was double-teamed by the opponent, unable to skyrocket and continue to score output, and the others were not capable enough. Butler University, which was upset and counterattacked all the way, met the University of Kentucky, and finally exposed their strength. series of questions.

In the end, when the game ended, the score was 77:68. The University of Kentucky defeated Butler University by 9 points and advanced to the final.

"Let's go." Qin Hao got up, "The result has come out, our final opponent will be the University of Kentucky."

"Yeah." Butler and Pingtou also got up, and the three left together. They didn't speak until they walked out of the arena.

Today's game has undoubtedly revealed the strength of the University of Kentucky. There is no doubt that this is a very strong team. Even in terms of comparison, the University of Kentucky poses a greater threat to Syracuse University than Duke University.

Although Duke University has the Plumlee brothers on the inside and Seth Curry on the bench, the combination of Irving + Plumlee is obviously not as good as Wall + Cousins, and the inside has always been the weakness of Syracuse University. At the University of Kentucky, this weakness will be further magnified.

When the University of Kentucky vs. Butler University game is over, it means that the lineup for the 10-year ncaa finals is released-Syracuse University vs. University of Kentucky.

For a while, countless fans were discussing.

"Sure enough, the University of Kentucky advanced to the finals. This season, the University of Kentucky is super strong. From the league game to the championship, they have not lost a single game."

"The University of Kentucky is indeed very strong, Wall and Cousins ​​are very strong, and Bledsoe, Patterson, and Legins are also very good. Now Syracuse University is in trouble."

"I still think Syracuse University is stronger. Qin and Butler are too strong, especially after entering the championship, it is simply incomprehensible. Syracuse University is not Butler University. Butler University only has Hayward as a star. Syracuse has two, double teams are useless against Syracuse."

"I'm interested in the duel between Qin and Wall. Both are very fast defenders. I don't know who is faster?"

All kinds of discussions continued, and the tickets were sold out early before the finals started.

The fans are looking forward to this strong matchup.
