Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"beep......"

Unconsciously, halfway through the first half, the University of Tennessee called a timeout. The score between the two sides was 23:19, and the University of Tennessee led by 4 points.

Although they were still ahead, Josh and other University of Tennessee players had gloomy expressions on their faces and were very dissatisfied with the score.

"It seems that we underestimated our opponent." Coach Bruce Pearl sighed, he didn't expect Syracuse University to have two more players like this, "Where did Syracuse University find such two players? Why don't I know any of them?"

The University of Tennessee is a regular in the top 64, so it has played against a lot of teams.

Coach Bruce Pearl needs to pay attention to many teams. He needs to pay attention to these teams that may become opponents, pay attention to changes in their lineup, changes in strength, and will not be blind when they encounter them.

But he has no impression of Qin Hao and Butler at all. It stands to reason that such a player should not be unknown, he should not be so unfamiliar.

Shaking his head, Coach Bruce Pearl called his players and said, "We have to strengthen our defense later, especially for Qin and Butler. I only know their names, and I don't know what they are from. But it doesn't matter, take To show our strength, we are not afraid of anyone, any team."

"Yeah." A group of players nodded in unison.

During this time, they have not done their best.

Syracuse University here.

Everyone surrounded Qin Hao and Butler. The performance of Qin Hao and Butler in these few minutes was obvious to all. The original ten-point difference was reduced to four points, which was all their credit.

This is not only as simple as reducing the score, but also boosts the morale of the team and restores the confidence and fighting spirit of the players.

So everyone is happy.

Only Holbert and Cole had complex expressions and sat on the bench without saying a word. They played very badly in the previous few minutes. Compared with Qin Hao and Butler's performance, it became even worse.

But they also have to admit that Qin Hao and Butler are very strong. Holbert can't play against Gordon, but Qin Hao can. His three-point shot is a big killer, and Holbert can only hold the ball. When playing, Qin Hao can play without the ball and shoot when he catches the ball. Gordon can't do anything about him.

Butler also did a good job of defending Josh. Although he still couldn’t completely prevent Josh, everyone knew that it was impossible to prevent a player like Josh. Butler was able to make Josh’s death. The hit rate has been significantly reduced, which is already very good.

Holbert couldn't do that, let alone Cole.

Jefferson sat next to Holbert. He looked at Holbert and Cole and could only shake his head. He felt that his friend might have no hope of competing with Qin Hao and Butler.

On the one hand, he was surrounded by a group of teammates excitedly, and on the other hand, he was deserted. Assistant Harry couldn't bear to see it. He came to Coach Fox and said, "Coach, I don't think Holbert has played well these few minutes. Good is actually just bad luck, met Gordon and Josh."

As for Cole, Assistant Harry couldn't think of any reason to plead for him. Holbert's strength is actually still very strong, but compared with Butler, Cole and Butler are obviously not on the same level.

"I know." Coach Fox nodded, and he agreed with what Harry said. "I'm not blaming them, I'll continue to give them opportunities. They'll have enough playing time in today's game, and in the next game they will can prove himself."

Assistant Coach Harry's eyes lit up, nodded with a smile, came to Holbert and Cole, and relayed Coach Fox's words.

Of course, it's more subtle.

But both Holbert and Kerr understood the meaning. They were overjoyed at first, then nervous, and the coach would give them a chance, which is good news.

It's just obvious that today's game is a test for them. If they can't seize the opportunity and prove their strength, the starting position may not be guaranteed.

"Don't worry." Holbert patted Cole on the shoulder and comforted: "As long as we perform well in the future, there will be no problem."

"Yeah." Cole agreed, but his heart was full of bitterness.

With Holbert's strength, he can still compete with Qin Hao, but he can't. He knows his own affairs, and obviously he is not as good as Butler.

......

The timeout ends and the game continues.

The University of Tennessee sent a backup lineup, and several starters only had one Kenny, who played with a few backups.

On the side of Syracuse University, Coach Fox sent both Holbert and Cole up, and now the other party has not gone to the Twin Towers, nor has Gordon and Josh.

If Holbert and Cole still don't play well, it's no wonder he didn't give a chance.

As soon as he played, Holbert hit the inside and scored. His strength was there. Without the candy that Gordon couldn't get rid of, his scoring was much easier.

It’s just that Kerr still didn’t play well. Holbert deliberately took care of his little brother and created two good shooting opportunities for him, but Kerr failed to seize one.

This made Holbert very helpless.

"Hey, Kerr is no longer confident." Assistant Harry shook his head and sighed. He could see that Kerr didn't have the fighting spirit to compete with Butler.

And as a shooting player, once you lose your fighting spirit, you lose your focus.

Qin Hao didn't care whether Holbert and Cole played well or not, but he was a little surprised by the strength of the University of Tennessee's bench. Cheap by half.

"As expected of a frequent visitor to the top 64 tournament." Qin Hao sighed.

In fact, Qin Hao didn't know that the University of Tennessee was even stronger last season. This summer, because the team's core player CJ Watson left and joined the Warriors, the team's strength has declined.

In a blink of an eye, a few minutes passed.

At this time, the University of Tennessee requested a suspension, began to make substitutions, sent the Twin Towers and Josh Qiqi, and Gordon also returned to the court and changed to the main lineup.

When the Twin Towers and Josh and Gordon returned to the court, Syracuse University couldn't stand it anymore.

Holbert's performance was not bad. He regained his confidence a few minutes ago, and he was no longer as incapable of playing against Gordon as before, but his hit rate was still lower. And where are the twin towers of Josh and the University of Tennessee, the situation quickly fell to the University of Tennessee.

"Substitution." Coach Fox asked for a substitution, "Qin, Jimmy, Kent, the three of you come on, replace Holbert, Cole, and Tom."

"Yes." The three of Qin Hao said in unison and walked onto the court.

Seeing Qin Hao and Butler coming back, Josh sneered and winked at the twin towers of Scott and Fields. Scott and Fields understood and grinned grimly.
