beast basketball

Since the game had just started, there were not enough fouls, and because Chris Kane put all his strength on the impact, he didn't make a shot, but he didn't need a free throw.

However, it made Stephen very angry. He was the one who bumped into him on his own initiative. Why should he be sentenced to a foul? Stopped by Edmondson.

He is the captain on the field, and he should be in charge of negotiating with the referee. At the same time, he is also worried that Stephen is young and aggressive. .

If the referee knows that he has made a mistake, he will naturally make up for it in the next penalty, so don't compete with the referee. You can explain to the referee and apply pressure, but you must not provoke the authority of the referee.

Admondson's negotiations naturally returned in vain. The judgments made by the referees are generally impossible to change, but they successfully planted a favor for the referees that you owe a favor this time, and at the same time let the referees know , don't go too far, I will protest too.

However, the University of Southern California is home, and generally speaking, there is no need to worry about the referee, so Edmondson didn't say much. In the next round, when Chris Kane wanted to repeat the same trick, the referee would not hesitate An offensive foul was politely called.

Although Stephen defended Chris Kane well, it didn't help the trailing score, because the offense of the University of Southern California was also unable to start the game, and Coupard alone could only It was a draw with Diogu, but the performances of both sides were comparable.

Coupard's performance has attracted the attention of many people. Among them, the scouts of two or three teams are very interested in this seven-footer with comprehensive offensive skills and hard-working defensive attitude.

Seven feet is the benchmark height for an inside player. Of course, it is not impossible to become an excellent inside player if you are less than seven feet. Charles Barkley is six feet six inches and less than two meters tall, but no one can say He's an outside player.

But for ordinary people, the possibility of growing a big butt like Barkley is far lower than the possibility of growing a centimeter taller, so there is only one Barkley, but big players abound.

But although there are many big players, there are very few good ones. Most big players have a common problem, that is, lack of athletic ability, big players who can run, jump, attack and defend. One is enough. The general manager of the team hid secretly under the bed and laughed.

In this game, although Coupard's game is comparable to that of Diogu, but who is Diogu, he was a star player in high school, and after arriving at Arizona State University, he was selected as the best player in the Pacific Ten Schools League every year. In the best lineup, although the team's performance is not particularly good due to the weak lineup of Arizona State University, Diogu's performance is obvious to all. Almost all basketball experts and review magazines agree that if Diogu participates In the draft, at least the first round should not be a problem.

However, Diogu's height is only [-] meters, which limits his transformation from qualified to excellent, but Coupard is different. According to the data above, his barefoot height is [-] meters. After putting on the shoes, he basically reached the seven-foot standard. Compared with his performance in this game, it is not a problem to at least be worthy of the end of the first round.

In addition to Diogu, the performances of Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt of the University of Southern California and Chris Mimu of the University of Arizona are all impressive. Although they are not amazing, they are also very good. The scarcity of players on the field is not as good as that of forward players, and several of them are freshman players, so it's too early to talk about the draft.

As for Stephen's defensive ability is good, but the offensive ability is almost zero, which makes many people extremely unfavorable, and he doesn't even make free throws, which makes people even less confident in him. Only a few people remember the name of Stephen.

Seeing that Gayu Pruitt was also a little tired, Benjamin simply replaced Andre Buwak and replaced Gabe Pruitt. Buwak's offensive ability is not as good as Gabe Pruitt, But the defensive ability is worse than him. At the same time, Bouak has a very stable control over the rhythm of the game. Benjamin made up his mind to defend like this in the first half of the second half, as long as he can bite the score. Wait until the second half Time to counterattack.

The coach of Arizona State University also wanted to use this period of time to widen the gap in points, but his outside line was tightly defended, and he couldn't open the situation at all. On the inside, the opponent replaced a big player. Not strong, but the defense is not bad, teaming up with Coupard to defend the penalty area like an impregnable wall.

After the second timeout, Benjamin first replaced Nick Young, but John Ruster was replaced, and then after a while, Edmondson and Gabe Pruitt were replaced, but Stephen Still on the field.

Because he found that Stephen staying on the court is not useless on the offensive end. Although he has no shooting ability, he runs very actively on the court. The movement is a bit too active, and it often happens that everyone else has already settled down, and he is the only one running on the court.

Since there was no suitable replacement, Rust had just come off the field, and Stephen didn't see any signs of fatigue, so it was better to keep him on the field and put some defensive pressure on the opponent by the way.

The appearance of Nick Young and others immediately changed the offensive and defensive situation of both sides, especially Nick Young, who returned to the court alive and well after resting in the halftime and the first half of the second half, and Stephen grabbed rebounds for him , so the shot was extraordinarily resolute.

When he missed a three-pointer, Stephen jumped high from one side, grabbed the rebound in his hand, and then handed it to him again. This time Nick Young lived up to Stephen's rebound and made a shot in one fell swoop.

In college basketball, three-pointers are a very important offensive weapon, but the shooting percentage of three-pointers is definitely not as good as that of mid-range shots. If a three-pointer is missed, the rebound distance is relatively long, so Stephen stays within the three-point line The position, ready to snatch the rebounds that fall in this area at any time, and from time to time, rush into the inside to grab the jobs of Coupard and Edmondson.

As long as a team can guarantee offensive rebounds, even if one attack fails, there will be a second attack, so the University of Southern California's offense quickly became popular, and the score gradually approached five points.

The coach of Arizona State University saw that there was nothing he could do. The strength on the court was already the strongest at hand, and there were no good players in the rotation. He called a timeout and changed his defensive strategy, but nothing happened. What an immediate effect, I had to watch helplessly as the score was brought closer step by step.

In the end, the University of Southern California won the game with difficulty 87-89. In the last 2 minutes, the players of Arizona State University launched a crazy counterattack, but the players of the University of Southern California encountered the problem of collective coldness. Stephen was desperately grabbing offensive rebounds there, and it is hard to say whether this game can be won.

Nick Young scored No. 21 with 1 points, Gabe Pruitt scored [-] points and [-] assists, and Coupard scored [-] points, [-] rebounds and [-] blocks. A rebound for Diogu.

But the most surprising thing is Stephen's statistics, zero points, [-] rebounds, [-] assists, [-] blocks and [-] steals. Among the [-] rebounds, [-] are offensive rebounds, and the assists are because he grabbed After the rebound, he always throws it to his teammates on the outside. His teammate's hit naturally counts as an assist for him, so he has obtained six assists. Although there are still four turnovers, the flaws are not concealed.

It is also the record for the most rebounds and the most offensive rebounds in the first game of the University of Southern California and the Pac Ten, and the record for the most rebounds and the most offensive rebounds in the first game of the regular season.

Seeing that the first game he played entered the history of the school and the league, Stephen seemed a little excited, and a sense of honor was born spontaneously. Anyway, this is also a record. Whoever wants to challenge this record must surpass himself .

So although the mvp of this game was given to Nick Young, Stephen still attracted the attention of many people. The name of Stephen also entered the pen of many media people for the first time. Some people even exaggeratedly proposed that the University of Southern California wanted to create a better If he wants to go further, Stephen is a very important pawn.

Stephen was also compared with Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt for the first time. He is the biggest discovery of the University of Southern California this year and has also entered the ncaa rookie player rankings.

Of course, the focus of many people's debate is how strong Stephen is, and whether his lack of offensive ability is real or a deceiving illusion. Throughout history, there have been many players who are only good at defense but not good at offense, but none Players who attack players don't.

Thinking about the University of Southern California's previous classics, Stephen didn't even show his face, so his current performance of not being able to attack is also likely to be a kind of strategic deception.

But no team dared to ignore Stephen's existence anymore. This guy is definitely not an insignificant guy, especially for those teams that rely heavily on outside players, they are a little worried.

After two days of rest, the USC Trojans went to Berkeley, 21 kilometers east of San Francisco, to challenge the UC Berkeley Golden Bears away.

There is only one Leon Bowie in UC Berkeley, but it is a pity that he cannot play this season because of a knee injury, so UC Berkeley is not favored at the beginning of this season, and it is also the favorite at the bottom.

Although the players of the University of California, Berkeley were unwilling to be underestimated like this, but their skills were not as good as theirs. In the last game against the University of Washington, they were severely punished by Washington. They fell behind by 22 points in the away game and came home. The UC Trojans only resisted for a first half, and lost the confidence to resist when they were behind by more than ten points. In the end, they were also beaten 77 to 55, with another 22 points difference.

Stephen's performance in this game was mediocre, because there was no one who needed him to focus on defense, so he didn't have so much playing time. In the end, he only scored zero points, seven rebounds, two assists and one steal.
