The NBA system urges me to pay back the money

Chapter 27 27. Single-handedly picking the cardinals ([-])
.
Cardinals coach Pitino nearly fainted at the American Airlines Center arena sparked an uproar.A thousand soldiers are easy to get but a general is hard to find. As the Cardinals coach, Pitino should have played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army, but the fact is just the opposite. Pitino is disturbing the morale of the army.

The Cardinals were miserable enough, but Pitino's move made the players on the Cardinals panic even more.

Garcia missed a jumper, and Korver made a three-pointer without Bilian's sneak attack, extending the score to 21:6.

The fans can't stand it anymore!
This is really a massacre, a war of annihilation, and a mass extinction (dog head)!

But the only ones who can't stand it are the neutral fans. The Cardinals fans stayed silent in the stands, while the Blue Jays fans rejoiced, singing and dancing in the stands, bouncing and jumping.

Defeat like a mountain!
The Cardinals coaching staff may not have heard of this ancient Chinese saying, but they understand the truth.No one expected that the Blue Jay's firepower was so fierce, and the cardinal was blown away at the beginning.

On the sidelines, Cardinals coach Pitino stabilized his mind and began to direct the battle.His on-the-spot reaction was not brilliant, but it conveyed a signal-he was not knocked down.

Such a signal helped the Cardinals stabilize the chaotic situation, but it didn't help the Cardinals much, because they couldn't solve Qin Xiong's big bug on the field.

6 shots, 6 of 6 three-pointers, this scoring efficiency is beyond the reach of the Cardinals, and Korver seems to have opened up, the situation of the Cardinals is even more difficult.

Gradually calming down, Pitino waved his hand and directed his disciples to stabilize Qin Xiong. As long as Qin Xiong got the ball, he would double-team. The other players of the Bluebirds put aside first.

Qin Xiong encountered a scoring crisis.

As soon as he gets the ball, Garcia immediately sticks to him, not giving him room to shoot or break through, and nearby Cardinals players will also come to double-team.

He currently has no ability to break double-teams. Once he is double-teamed, he can only wait for death, so he immediately transformed, instead of continuing to shoot endlessly, but acted as the central axis, attracting the Cardinals' defensive center of gravity and looking for open teammates. The ball is passed.

His transformation was very successful. The Cardinals put the defensive focus on him, and they will inevitably neglect the defense against the other players of the Blue Jays.No, he saw the opportunity and pierced Garcia's crotch, and passed a ball to the inside jumper Killian.

With no defense around him, Killian jumped up and slammed into the basket vigorously, easily scoring 2 points.

However, the efficiency of this was incomparable to Qin Xiong's previous 6 three-pointers. The Cardinals also took the opportunity to catch their breath and then launched a counterattack.

红雀从21：6追到23：10，再追到25：13，反扑非常凶猛。

But the Cardinals' strong counterattack was not without cost. They consumed a lot of energy on both offense and defense, and soon ran out of stamina.

Qin Xiong seized the opportunity to sneak up on two three-pointers, hit three mid-range shots, and drove the ball inside to draw a foul from Cardinals center Terry, making two free throws.

Two minutes before the end of the first half, he had already scored 2 points, while the Cardinals, who were desperately counterattacking, scored only 32 points.

At the end of the first half, the Blue Jays led the Cardinals by 48 points 31:17.

Back in the locker room, Qin Xiong took a form from the assistant coach Mauro, which recorded the data of each player of the two teams.

Qin Xiong used [Capture] to target Gaines, and he focused on Gaines' stats, to be precise, Gaines' scoring stats.In his opinion, there is not much suspense in this game. As long as the Blue Jays don't die in the second half, it will be difficult for the Cardinals to make up for the 17 points behind. The pit is too big!

Gaines' scoring is quite satisfactory, which is very in line with his personality - 5 points. In addition, Gaines has 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 rebounds, but Qin Xiong doesn't care about these.

The big picture is set!

Qin Xiong looked at Gaines' scoring data in the table, and he was determined.As long as we work harder in the second half, it will not be a problem to win Gaines to make a card, and the Blue Jays will be able to reach the final four.

……

There was joy in the Blue Jays locker room, and there were faint smiles on the faces of both the players and the coaching staff.

This season has been a fantastic season for them. Creighton University, which has always been a first-round pick, not only made it to the elite eight this season, but also easily defeated the University of Louisville in the quarterfinals. Foot has stepped into the final four.

……

Contrary to the joy of Creighton University, the locker room of the University of Louisville was gloomy. Although the head coach Pitino was still cheering for the disciples, the players still couldn't lift their spirits.

The blow to them in the first half of the game was too great!

Qin Xiong alone scored more points than the entire Cardinals team. Can you really win against such a super scorer?

The Cardinals will be confused.

They are very close to the final four this season, because Creighton University is just a nobody in the NCAA Division I. They could have easily crossed over; but now, they just want to lose decently and can't let Qin Xiong Get 50+ points, otherwise the University of Louisville and them will be a laughing stock.

……

The short 15-minute intermission ended, and players from both sides returned to the field.

At this moment, Qin Xiong was not as strong as in the first half. He transferred the ball to Hopes and Korver.Hopps and Korver can't do tough battles, but they are like ducks in water to fight this kind of downwind battle.Without too much pressure, they can give full play to their strengths.

As the game progressed, the point difference between the Cardinals and the Blue Jays widened. Only then did the Cardinals realize that Qin Xiong was not the main attacker in the second half.

However, it turned out that the generals of the Cardinals had nothing to do, and even the head coach Pitino was at a loss.Although Korver and others scored consecutively to widen the gap between the two sides, they cannot relax their guard against Qin Xiong for a moment.

Compared to Korver and others, Qin Xiong is a cold-blooded killer who will give you cold blood if you are not careful.

But even so, Qin Xiong easily scored 10 points in the second half.Tonight, his hand feels so hot, coupled with the blessing of [Hot Hand Feeling], the whole person is like a god descending from the earth.

If it weren't for his inability to break the double-team, 50+ in this game would be easy for him.

……

Beep beep beep!
As the referee blew the whistle, the quarterfinals between Creighton University and the University of Louisville finally came to an end.Creighton University easily defeated the University of Louisville 78:62 to win tickets to the Final Four.

If it weren't for Creighton University's release of water later, the University of Louisville would not have scored 62 points at all.But this question is meaningless after the game is over, and no one will care.

In this game, Qin Xiong successfully completed the task with 46 points, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 rebound, helping Creighton University advance to the final four.
