Basketball Myth: Super Guard

The development of the game was also as Qin Hao expected, and the University of Kentucky had the upper hand from the beginning and maintained the lead.

However, Kentucky is different from many teams. Many of the players in their team are freshmen. Kentucky is a strong team, and many talented players have emerged, but I don’t know why. Many players are in Kentucky only played one year before entering the NBA draft.

At this time, Wall and Cousins ​​were the two freshmen leading the field, in addition to Darius Maitreya, Patrick Patterson and others.

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

"Bang!"

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

Butler raised his eyebrows and said, "Wall's breakthrough ability is indeed excellent, and in terms of organizational ability, he is stronger than Owen."

Qin Hao nodded: "Irving is more inclined to shooting guards, while Wall is more inclined to point guards. If only in scoring ability, Wall is definitely not as good as Owen, but in terms of organizational ability, Owen is not as good as Wall, the two are just Each has its own characteristics.”

"But..." After a pause, Qin Hao said again: "If it is a team with excellent inside players, I think they would like Wall more."

I played six or seven minutes in the first half. Comparing the performance of Wall and Cousins ​​in these six or seven minutes with the combination of Irving and Plumlee, it is obvious that Wall and Cousins ​​are 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 average points per game this season are like this.

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

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

Wall can constantly 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 a guard who can play and pass is obviously more useful than a guard who can only score when there are good inside players.

That's not good news for Syracuse University, though.

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

on the field.

In a blink of an eye, half of the first half passed, and the two sides began to change into rotations, and Bledsoe was sent on the court as the team's "sixth man".

Bledsoe played very well. Under his leadership, the University of Kentucky's bench lineup has steadily gained the upper hand, gradually expanding the original lead.

A few minutes later, Kentucky had an eight-point lead.

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

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

Then he made another breakthrough, a change of direction and two steps forward, followed by a pull-up jumper and scored five points in a row to help Butler University narrow the point difference.

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

When Hayward was double-teamed, Butler University did not have the strongest point, and soon fell into a disadvantage again, and the point difference also widened again.

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

"Butler University is going to lose." Brother Flathead frowned slightly, which was not a good thing for Syracuse University. The University of Kentucky was so strong that he felt enormous pressure.

"Butler University only has a strong point in Hayward. Once he is double-teamed by the opponent, the team's offense will stagnate." Qin Hao nodded, "Also, the rotation lineup is a lot worse than Butler University. With a 'sixth man' like Lesso, the 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, the game is already divided."

In the final 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 increase his continuous scoring output, and the others were not capable enough. Butler University, who had been upset and counterattacked all the way, met the University of Kentucky, and after all, they were exposed. a series of questions.

In the end, when the game ended, the score was 77:68, and the University of Kentucky defeated Butler University with a 9-point lead to advance to the final.

"Let's go." Qin Hao got up. "The result is out. Our final opponent will be the University of Kentucky."

"Yeah." Butler and Pingtou also got up, and the three of them 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 comparison, the University of Kentucky is 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 soft underbelly of Syracuse University, yes At the University of Kentucky, this weakness will be further magnified.

When the University of Kentucky vs. Butler University's game is over, it means that the 10-year ncaa final lineup is out - Syracuse University vs. University of Kentucky.

For a time, countless fans were talking about it.

"Sure enough, the University of Kentucky advanced to the finals. This season, the University of Kentucky is super strong. From the league to the championship, they have never lost a game."

"The University of Kentucky is really strong. Wall and Cousins ​​are 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 almost impossible to solve. Syracuse University is not Butler University, Butler University only has Hayward as a star, Syracuse has two, and double-teaming is useless for Syracuse."

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

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

Fans are looking forward to this powerful matchup.
