king of defenders

Chapter 167 Saint Louis University ([-])

Saint Louis University is one of the best teams in the Atlantic Ten League, and the players of the Wildcats still have some understanding of them.

But after all, I don't know much.

So listen carefully one by one.

"Let's talk about St. Louis University's starting lineup first." Mason Carr said: "Their starting center is Andre Charles, who is 213cm tall and has jersey number 11. He is also the captain of St. Louis University."

"Although his physical fitness is not very strong, his height and wingspan endow him with excellent defensive ability, strong blocking ability and good rebound awareness. This season, he averaged 8.6 rebounds per game, In addition, he averaged 2.3 blocks per game. Of course, he also has shortcomings, that is, physical confrontation is not good, scoring ability is not particularly good, and there are not many scoring methods.”

There is no doubt that this is a defensive player, somewhat similar to Patrick.

Mason Carr added: "Their starting power forward is Jason Saunders, who is 208cm tall. He is characterized by good physical fitness, strong confrontation ability, skilled low post skills, very lethal in the low post, and also has good skills. The rebounding ability. The disadvantage is that the shooting range is short, and basically no outside shooting ability."

As he spoke, he glanced at Evan.

Sensing the coach's eyes, Evan nodded, expressing that he understands that Jason Sanders has strong confrontation ability, which is Evan's weakness, but he is not good at outside shooting, which is Jason Sanders' weakness. weakness.So what to do with Jason Sanders when the time comes, you need to think about it.

"The small forward is Michael Clark." Mason Carr continued: "He is 201cm tall, with excellent physical fitness and comprehensive skills. In fact, he is the organizer of Saint Louis University. Because the team's starting point guard Werner - Rodney tends to score and doesn’t like to pass the ball, so he is not suitable to be an organizer. Therefore, the task of organizing the offense falls to Michael Clarke, who has strong organizational skills and an excellent overall view.”

"Also, Michael Clarke has certain rebounding and defensive abilities."

"His shortcoming is that his outside shooting is not stable enough, and his scoring ability is not particularly strong. In other words, he is just the opposite of Warner Rodney. He doesn't like scoring very much."

Listen, everyone feels weird.

Saint Louis University's players seem to have their own characteristics. They all have their own advantages, but their shortcomings are also obvious. It feels a little incredible that such a combination of several people can achieve a record of 11 wins and 1 loss.Does it mean that other teams don't know how to take advantage of their shortcomings?
Mason Carr hadn't finished speaking, and everyone was not in a hurry to ask. They just heard Mason Carr say: "Their starting shooting guard is called Ramsden Joyce. He is 195cm tall. He is characterized by his strong shooting ability. There are basically no blind spots, the shooting range covers the entire half court, and whether it is mid-range or three-pointers, there are considerable hits."

"His shortcoming is that he is not good at anything except shooting. His physical fitness is average, his breakthrough ability is average, his rebounding ability is average, and his organizational ability is average."

"Simply put, it's a pure pitcher."

Another player with "distinctive" characteristics.

What's going on with this Saint Louis University, why is everyone so "distinctive"?
Mason Carr continued to introduce, emphasizing a little: "Their starting point guard is Werner Rodney, a sophomore this year, with a height of 190cm. He is characterized by fast speed, good jumping, good explosive power, and many scoring methods. He He can shoot and break through, and his personal scoring ability is very strong."

"He is the ace player of St. Louis University. Although he plays the No. 1 position, he is actually more like a No. 2 position. He is a super scorer. Maybe because of his strong scoring ability, he doesn't like passing the ball very much. One thing is that his defensive ability is not good, these two points should be regarded as his shortcomings."

Another one!
The same advantages and disadvantages are obvious and distinctive.

Andre-Charles, Jason Sanders, Michael Clarke, Ramsden-Joyce, Warner Rodney, the five starting players of St. Louis University, each has obvious shortcomings, so five When the individuals are combined together, doesn't it mean that every position has shortcomings?So, how did they achieve a record of 11 wins and 1 loss?
And last season, they reached the final.

Thomas, Smith, Tommy, Patrick... Some people looked at each other in blank dismay, with a weird feeling, not knowing how to evaluate it.

Meng Yun looked at Evan and Andy, and the three of them exchanged a look, and they all saw the solemnity in each other's eyes-is it just a coincidence that such a combination of five people can achieve a record of 11 wins and 1 loss?
No, it's not by chance.

And since it's not accidental, it means that Saint Louis University's starting lineup is very unusual.

"Don't you think it's weird and incredible? How could a few players with such obvious shortcomings achieve such a good record?" Mason Carr didn't hold back, and said directly: "I was also surprised at the beginning, but after careful consideration After studying their stats and some game videos, I'm not surprised."

Meng Yun frowned, and everyone else stared at Mason Carr.

Mason-Carr said: "These people have obvious shortcomings, but when they are combined, they can form a good complement to each other."

"Werner Rodney doesn't like to pass the ball, Michael Clarke is a good point forward, just makes up for it. Ramsden Joyce can only shoot, one-way scoring, but there are a few other guys in the game. , He can get a lot of shooting opportunities, he only needs to do a good job of shooting, which is actually enough.”

"There is also Michael Clarke. His scoring ability is not strong, but with Werner Rodney and Ramsden Joyce, we don't really need him to score many points from the outside."

"As for the inside, Jason Sanders has no outside shots, but there are two excellent scoring points on the outside, which is enough. Andre Charles' scoring ability is weak, but Jason Sanders has no outside scoring. He needs to score as many points as he needs, and his defense can make up for his teammates' lack of defense."

"This is a well-organized team that performs its own duties. Who is responsible for scoring, who is responsible for defense, who is responsible for organization, who is responsible for the outside line, and who is in charge of the inside line. It is clear and clear at a glance."

"Of course, their shortcomings still exist, and they may be exploited by the opponent. But they assist each other, and the chance of being exploited by the opponent is greatly reduced. In turn, they have clear responsibilities, who should do what, and can also complement each other on the offensive end. It’s nothing to a few people taking it apart, but it’s different when put together.”

"This is not a quantitative change, but a qualitative change!"
