Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"Humph."

Turkoglu originally wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule Butler, but he knew that Butler was determined and unaffected by him. He snorted coldly, closed his mouth and started to attack.

However, this time he was still unable to get past Butler, so he had to retreat and choose to shoot directly. Anyway, he was several centimeters taller than Butler, and he was not afraid of being blocked because of his height and arm length.

It was indeed difficult for Butler to block Turkoglu, but his reaction was very fast. He rushed forward at the first time, and his hand had reached Turkoglu's face, covering Turkoglu's sight.

boom!

With a muffled sound, the ball hits hard.

However, Howard won the offensive rebound and scored, turning the difference into 18 points.

The Pistons fought back.

Stuckey is open to the ball. He has played for the Pistons for five years and has a strong personal ability. In the case of Prince's decline year after year, he has become the leader of the Pistons.

At this time, the team was behind by as many as 18 points. He naturally had to stand up. After taking the ball, Stuckey was a single, a tentative step, and then a breakthrough, rushing to the inside, a lever in the air, trying to avoid Howard's seal Guy, but unfortunately he underestimated Howard. Howard's bounce is excellent, and his defensive coverage is also great. After avoiding Howard's block, Stuckey has completely lost sight of the basket.

boom!

The ball didn't go in, and the Magic fought back.

Fortunately, the Magic's offense didn't score this time, but the Pistons couldn't score either. Instead, Gordon's layup was blocked by Anderson, and the Magic played a counterattack and scored two points.

"The difference has become 20 points."

"This time it's troublesome. I'm 20 points behind at halftime. How can I play in the second half?"

In the audience, the home fans lamented in unison.

The head coach of the Pistons had a gloomy face, and the score difference had widened to 20 points. This was another critical point. If it weren't for the fact that there were only a few dozen seconds left in the second quarter, he would have called a timeout.

In the last few seconds, the Pistons attacked.

Stuckey took the ball, and just about to play singles, he saw Butler running over. He moved the ball and passed the ball to Butler. Butler played very well in the first quarter, let him try it.

Seeing Butler holding the ball, Turkoglu immediately posted it, narrowed his eyes and stared at Butler coldly. Butler did not look at Turkoglu, but glanced at the basket, and then stepped out with his right foot.

Turkoglu subconsciously took a half step back, but at this moment, Butler suddenly pulled out and shot a three-pointer.

"Not good." Turkoglu jumped up quickly, but it was too late.

Fortunately, the next moment he heard a "bang", obviously the ball was missed, but when he looked again, he found that Butler in front of him was gone.

When the ball was shot and Butler landed, he immediately ran to the inside line. He was not sure whether he could make the ball. After all, Turkoglu, who was 208 cm tall, was in front of him. He was not a three-point marksman like Qin Hao. .

Sure enough, the ball bounced out of the box, and Butler just hit it, kicked his feet, and jumped up. Taking advantage of the Magic's unprepared inside players, he pushed the basketball into the basket with one hand.

"Huh..."

For a time, there was an uproar in the audience, and the fans exclaimed, followed by all kinds of cheers and cheers.

Turkoglu was secretly annoyed, but he could only smile bitterly.

At this time, there were only 20 seconds left in the second quarter, and the Magic directly used up 24 seconds, leaving only a few seconds for the Pistons. In the end, Gordon missed a three-pointer from a distance, and the Magic had an 18-point advantage. End the first half.

Trailing by 18 at halftime was a heavy burden for the Pistons.

If Butler scored one, the difference would have been 20 points!

......

The second half started in a blink of an eye.

Butler was sent, Wright was not, the Pistons coach deliberately separated the two, and after entering the second half, Butler's performance was still excellent, and he made a three-pointer after he came up.

After dozens of seconds, he ran back to get the ball, feinted, and then rushed to the inside line. First, he found a physical confrontation. It was Anderson who made up the defense, not Howard, so Butler had a lot of relief and scored the ball after the confrontation. .

In a moment, Butler scored another 4 points, and his personal score was almost 20 points.

Except for him, the other players on the Pistons are still in average condition. Butler glanced at his teammates and couldn't help frowning. His fists were no match for four hands, let alone one-vs-five.

"What should I do?" Butler thought to himself, "If it were Qin, what would he do?"

Thoughts turned in his mind, Butler had already made a decision.

Afterwards, Butler continued to make breakthroughs and played very tough, constantly hitting the Magic's inside line, waiting for opportunities to cause damage, but he reduced his personal shots and began to create opportunities for his teammates.

At the same time, Butler is very hard on the defensive end. In addition to defending Turkoglu, he also has to fight for rebounds, help his teammates in defense, and make up defenses. He seems to be everywhere, and he has done everything he can do.

Under his leadership, the enthusiasm of the Pistons has been improved, the defense has become more active and tough, and the offense has also improved. In addition to Butler and Stuckey, Gordon, Jerebko and others also began to score. .

Instead, it was the Magic who were in trouble.

In the Magic's starting lineup, Turkoglu plays a key role. He has the body of an inside player, the organization and shooting skills of a perimeter player, but he plays the striker.

From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that Turkoglu is very important in the Magic’s offensive system. He can rebound, assist defense, organize support, and act as an outside shooter to contain defense and provide outside lines. Vitality output.

But in the past few minutes, he was troubled by Butler's fierce defense and played poorly, which in turn affected the entire Magic's offense.

For a time, the Pistons reversed the trend and gained the upper hand. Under the leadership of Butler, they continued to narrow the point difference.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Pistons narrowed the 18-point deficit to just 9 points left.

The Magic had to call a timeout.

When the timeout came back, the Magic's offense and defense improved, and the two sides began to stalemate. After two-thirds of the third quarter, the two sides began to make substitutions, butler was also replaced, and Wright was replaced.

However, after this substitution, the Pistons soon fell into a disadvantage, and the point difference was enlarged again, but the difference became 13 points in a moment, which made the fans very upset.

"Substitution, substitution, we want Butler."

"Butler, Butler..."

More and more fans started shouting, people were calling the name "Butler", they just wanted Butler back, because only Butler can turn things around and give them hope.

on the edge of the field.

A group of unplayed players all looked at the head coach. The Pistons head coach thought about it, and finally signaled a substitution after a dead ball. He turned his head and shouted, "Butler, come on."
