You'd better wrap me

Chapter 75
At [-]:[-] p.m. on the [-]th, Su Yang led the team to the Alamo Arena for warm-up training before the finals.

The support team organized by the school has arrived, with more than 1000 people. Cheng Yanxi mixed in with a group of foreign students, saying that she wanted to witness Su Yang's most glorious moment, and specially brought the Corona beer she bought, and posted it Mug shot.

Santa Monica High School teammates Ron and Tommy also flew over from Los Angeles specifically, saying that they want to feel the moment when Su Yang is king.

"Thank you for flying here!"

Su Yang led the whole team to shake hands with the fans from the school, and then took pictures with the fans who spontaneously drove from all over the United States. The two waves of fans seemed to be organized, and they brought Corona beer to express their respect. His strong support.

The NCAA committee members did not announce the suspension of Su Yang. They only said that they would set up a team to investigate. It was obvious that they were going to pretend that nothing happened. Even if the final investigation results were released and the suspension was officially announced, Su Yang had already played all the college games.

It's kind of like getting what you want.

"you succeeded!"

Rob Pelinka stopped hiding and spoke directly to Su Yang in public, "Compared to winning the March Madness championship, it is a greater thing for you to take the lead in resisting the NCAA committee and seeking more benefits for the players. into the history books."

Su Yang nodded in agreement, but knew in his heart that only by winning the championship would the rebellion be completed.

Otherwise, it is easy to become a reverse case.

Turn to the field and start training.

The regular beat Johnny goes to five positions first, takes a step around the screen, makes a quick stop jump shot, and then makes two rounds, and the dribble breakthrough is also carried out normally.Taking advantage of the break, Su Yang discussed Duke University's offensive and defensive routines with coach Henry Bibby and others.

Judging from the previous video, in the 03-04 season, the main attacker of the Duke Blue Devils was JJ Redick, who averaged 15.9 points per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 39.5%, followed by Luol Deng. They averaged 15.1 points, followed by Daniel Ewing, Sheldon Williams and Chris Duhon, who also averaged 10+ points per game.

As a team with five starting players who all scored in double figures, Duke University did a good job of sharing the ball and had a lot of tactics, but most of the tactics were designed around Redick, such as Iverson's cross-cutting screens, and floppy moves. , What is the echelon screen + hand-off, and outside of Redick, it is more of a breakthrough to score the ball. The main Duke University guards are three guards + two forwards starting. The overall height of the starting lineup is relatively short, and the technology tends to break through , the tallest Luol Deng also prefers to play outside.

"We need to be more determined to switch defenses, because Duke has a fast pace of shooting and a lot of hand-off tactics..."

Su Yang analyzed the arrangement for his teammates, and complained in his heart that it was not the trend brought about by the old coach K. As a result, every coach who coached Redick likes to arrange hand-to-hand tactics for Redick. It is really more accurate and very convenient. .

The discussion ended quickly, and the whole team was full of confidence.

The main reason is that Duke's defense is not good. The previous five rounds were able to advance, all thanks to the super strong lineup that overwhelmed the opponent. They won 30 points in the first round, 28 points in the second round, 10 points in the third round, and 7 points in the fourth round. , 1 point narrow victory in five rounds, that is to say, when encountering a slightly stronger team and a team with star players that make the physical advantage less exaggerated, it becomes more and more difficult, and even depends on luck.

And Su Yang, as the strongest offensive player in this crazy three trip, played against Duke's defense, which is absolutely explosive.

Training continues.

Su Yang also practiced low-post singles, snake-like moves around screens, ultra-long three-pointers, and finally led the team to practice two rounds of breaking double-teams and long passes in case of emergencies. Although there were pre-match interviews According to reports, the old Duke K coach said that he would not use the double-team strategy.

05:30 Training ends.

Pelinka suggested that he could go and say hello to the celebrities on ESPN, mainly because the reporter Erin Andrews was also there. The previous wave of "one top five" publicity can be regarded as a wave of influence for him, and now he is arranged for an interview In the finals, it is necessary to express gratitude.After hearing this, Su Yang felt that it was feasible, turned around and walked to the ESPN live broadcast booth, and first greeted Bill Wharton and others.

Bill Walton said with a smile: "Fortunately, you only played for one year, otherwise our UCLA record will be broken by you. Shaq O'Neal is probably crying at this time. Six triple-doubles are his only college league record, and you have Achieved 7 times!"

Stan Van Gundy smiled and said: "I have seriously studied your defensive strategy, you are a genius, I wish you success."

After a circle of celebrities paid their respects, Su Yang went to Irene Andrews who was obviously waiting, thanked him, and said: "If you don't need to work overtime, come to the championship celebration party tonight, I will have a lot of first-hand breaking news !"

"Wow?"

Erin Andrews blushed slightly when she heard this, and raised her hand to brush her hair, "As long as there is a chance, I will definitely go."

Su Yang nodded and blinked with a smile, turned around and entered the player tunnel, returned to the locker room, and made the final preparations.

The teammates were chatting, and Roddick smiled and said: "Don't pee your pants later, everyone, don't be like the Michigan Five Tigers. They were invincible before the finals, but they suddenly seemed unable to play in the finals against Duke University. There are low-level mistakes..."

Desmond then complained: "Anyway, I won't be nervous, just don't dribble the ball to your feet then."

The crowd burst into laughter, mainly because Roddick made a mistake when he dribbled the ball to his feet in a previous game, which was a bit funny.

As Su Yang listened and thought, he was really worried that his teammates would feel nervous because it was the finals, which would lead to deformed operations. Just like many e-sports players, their performances before the BO5 finals were flawless, but in the BO5 finals they made low-level mistakes.

There is no way, normal people are more nervous in the most important events, and their performance deteriorates. A few people will be particularly nervous and perform extremely poorly, and there are also a few people who are more excited and perform better in the more important events. Jordan.

While thinking about it, Su Yang said: "Don't panic, I am a big player, and I will lead everyone into the rhythm."

The voice fell, and cheers erupted in the locker room.

In a blink of an eye, when the starting list was about to be reported, Su Yang discussed with coach Henry and decided to let Desmond start the game instead. The main reason was that Desmond had shown his corresponding strength in the previous game against Oklahoma State University, although his shooting was so-so.

At the end of the discussion, Coach Henry approached Doucet to explain the situation. When he mentioned Desmond's NBA prospects and the last game of his senior year, Doucet expressed his understanding.The starting list was reported in a hurry, and the whole team returned to the player channel to prepare.

At 45:[-], the announcer shouted the introduction.

With [-] fans cheering like a tsunami, Su Yang led the team and ran into the stadium, and for Duke, Redick also led the team to run out from the other side of the tunnel.The pre-match ceremony went on without a break, with cheers erupting every time a name was read.

The long whistle sounded, and the game entered the final preparation.

The central big screen camera began to sweep around, first Duke University legend Carlos Boozer, Elton Brand, Grant Hill, Mike Dunleavy, Ganon Baker, then NBA President Stern and Vice President Adam Silver.

The owner of the Magic, Richard DeVos, was also sitting in the audience stands. Next to him was the number one magic star Tracy McGrady, and the general manager John Weissbrod. Not far away were the owner and president of the Bulls. The camera caught.

President B. Bush smiled and waved at the camera, and the subtitles of the live broadcast said that he came for the mid-term votes, purely for show.

Local Texas stars Beyoncé and Eva were also there, and the host Harlan laughed and said that Su Yang was the biggest star.

A short whistle followed.

The starting players of the two teams enter the position, point guard Roddick vs. Duhon, shooting guard Desmond vs. Redick, small forward Sue Young vs. Daniel Ewing, power forward Craven vs. Luol Deng, center Endy Yaye vs. Sheldon Williams.

It is not the first time that Duke has no real center in the starting lineup, and Nick Holvath is sitting off the court.

The announcer yelled the jump ball, and the referee tossed it lightly at the same time.

Snapped!Relying on his height and wingspan advantage, Ndiaye touched the ball first and flicked it back, and USC won the jump ball.

The whole team started in an elbow formation. Su Yang received the ball from the left elbow area, and made a snatch with his left hand to pass to the bottom corner. He successfully attracted Daniel Ewing to move slightly to the left. , complete the breakthrough in one step.

Sheldon, who was in the short corner on the right, hurriedly shrank to defend, but Su Yang completely ignored it, took another step and kicked the ground to take off, smashing the buckle with one hand.

Bang bang!The basketball exploded into the net.

Cheers erupted from all around the stadium. From the CCTV5 live broadcast seat on the top of the mountain, Yu Jia shouted: "Let's see Su Yang's breakthrough is as easy and freehand as a leisurely stroll in the garden, and his dunk is as shocking as smashing Huashan Mountain. His mastery of strength and rhythm is perfect. .”

"Hey!" Zhang Weiping chuckled, "We're talking about Daniel Ewing. His defense may be relatively strong at ordinary times, but when he meets Su Yang, there's really no way. It's like playing, how to guard against it?"

Offensive and defensive transitions on the field.

Duke starts from the third from the right and the second from the left. Du Hong controls the ball at the top of the arc, while Luol Deng runs up with his right elbow. Ghost bypasses the screen and then rushes to the left basket. Sheldon together, forming an 'Iverson crosscut' screen.

Redick immediately started running from the short corner on the left, with the cover of Luol Deng and Sheldon, made an 'Iverson crosscut', crossed the paint area to get rid of Desmond's pursuit, and rushed to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, He raised his hand to receive the pass from Du Hong, turned around and made a three-pointer.

The basketball flew past Desmond's fingertips and sank into the net with a hollow sound. Redick turned around and clenched his fists in celebration, cheers were everywhere.

"It's a bit accurate."

Su Yang ran forward, feeling slightly worried. For a shooter like Redick, it would be very troublesome to find a shot at the beginning of the game. If he made several consecutive hits, it would attract a lot of defensive attention. If necessary, he must personally defense.

NTU's elbow formation is settled again.

Su Yang continued to get the ball from the left elbow area. Seeing that Roddick came out from the left corner with the help of Craven's cover, and temporarily got rid of Duhon's pursuit, he quickly raised his hand and passed the ball, but Roddick just received the ball. The ball, the referee's whistle blew.

Stepping on the line is illegal!

The boos of Duke fans suddenly exploded.

Roddick shook his head slightly annoyed, blaming himself for his low-level mistakes.Su Yang saw it, and thought that Roddick must be a little nervous. The tactics he had practiced many times were still on the field he was already familiar with, so he would not make such low-level mistakes.

The two teams switched offense and defense.

Duke continued to run the 'Iverson cross-cut' tactic, but the screen was moved from the basket, parallel to the free throw line on both sides, or Du Hong moved first, turned to the right 45-degree three-point line, and then gave the right corner Redick rushed up and made a cross screen.

Redick took the opportunity to receive a pass from Daniel, stopped the brakes suddenly, his sneakers squeaked, and he scored a three-pointer when he pulled it up.

The basketball hit the hoop and went into the net, and Duke took a 6-2 lead.

The two teams switched offense and defense, and NTU continued to elbow.

It may be that the threat of an emergency stop and back run was too great before. Duke gave priority to marking Roddick in the left corner, and Craven got the opportunity to go straight to the basket.Seeing this, Su Yang hit the ball to the ground, but never thought about it. Craven caught the ball and jumped up. He seemed to want to hit the board, throw a shot, or even dunk. He hesitated, but the basketball hit the basket and rebounded, making Duke University Shelton grabbed a defensive rebound.

The Nanda team quickly returned to defense.

The whole team of Duke University rushed, Du Hong reached the top of the arc in the blink of an eye, looked up and glanced at the half-court position, turned around and rushed to the right, handed the ball at 45 degrees, and Redick rushed to the top of the arc after receiving the ball. Luol Deng and Shelton, who were following up with a double screen, completely got rid of Desmond's pursuit. Taking advantage of Ndiaye's neither leaving room for the screen, nor rushing to change defenses, he made an emergency stop and made a three-pointer.

The basketball slammed into the net hollowly.

Redick made three consecutive three-pointers, and Duke led 9-2. The always calm old coach K also showed a smile.

In the CCTV5 live broadcast, Zhang Weiping scratched his head: "Oh, this start is very unfavorable for the University of Southern California..."

Yu Jia nodded: "Several members of the University of Southern California are obviously a little flustered, but Su Yang must have realized it, and I believe he will stand up immediately and prove to his teammates with practical actions that as long as he is present, there is no need to feel the same. panic!"
