Chapter 206 Evan and Xianglong

on the field.

Meng Yun saw Xiang Long at a glance, and Xiang Long also saw him and walked towards him.

Meng Yun stepped forward, opened his arms and hugged Xiang Long. Xiang Long's movements were stiff, he was not used to such intimate movements, but his expression was still cool, and he said, "You should have made some progress during this time, I hope won't let me down."

"Xiang Long." Meng Yun shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly, "When will you change your temper? It's me, and someone else will designate you as a provocation."

To Meng Yun's surprise, Xiang Long smiled, nodded seriously, and said, "Your understanding is correct, I'm just provoking you. I've been waiting for this match for a long time."

Meng Yun choked, and it took him a while to recover. He rolled his eyes: "Can't you stop being so arrogant? Do you know that you can easily be beaten like this."

Xiang Long didn't care, his smile disappeared, and he said: "The competition will start soon, try your best, then you will still have a slight chance. I will not show mercy."

"I won't show mercy either," Meng Yun said.

The two separated and returned to their respective teams.

Then the players from both sides went to the court to warm up, and then returned to the sidelines, and the game was about to begin.

Here, Mason Carr spread out the tactical board, with a serious expression, and said: "I repeat, we must guard against the opponent's No. 5 Xianglong. Once he gets the ball in the low post, he will double-team me directly. Don't let him relax. ground singles."

"Yes."

"clear."

The crowd responded.

This does not need Mason Carr to say, everyone knows that the reason why the Virginia Commonwealth University Rams (VCU Rams) can achieve today's results, the reason why they are so strong is because of Xiang Long, as long as Xiang Long is restrained, then The rest of the VCU Rams should have nothing to fear.

This is the key to beating the VCU Rams today.

"As for the offense." Mason Carr looked at Andy and John, "You guys have to be more active on the outside, take more shots, and be more determined, you know?" He still didn't let Meng Yun start, but because of Xiang Long's existence, Evan may not be able to take advantage of the inside, so the offensive end has to rely on the outside.

Meanwhile, VCU Rams here.

The head coach Gabriel Wells is also planning tactics. With a solemn expression, he spread out the tactical board and drew a few tactics on it, saying: "Wait, we should play Xianglong on the offensive end, and give him more screens and pick-and-rolls." .Of course, the rest of you should also be active, and resolutely make a move when an opportunity arises."

"The opponent will definitely double-team Xiang Long. Once the opponent double-teams Xiang Long, the rest of you will have a chance."

A group of VCU Rams players did not speak out, not without objections. Coach Wells said that once Xiang Long was double-teamed, they would have a chance. This is actually not true, because even if Xiang Long is double-teamed, Xiang Long may not pass the ball.In previous games, Xiang Long often chose to force his shots when facing double-teams.

At the beginning, other people had objections, but Xiang Long could always score or cause the opponent's foul, and then others simply shut up and didn't mention it.

Even if Xiang Long really passed the ball to them, they may not be able to score. In terms of success rate, Xiang Long's own strong play is higher.

Wells didn't seem to realize this, and continued to arrange: "On the defensive end, we have to be tougher. Xiang Long, the opponent's power forward Evan will be handed over to you."

Xiang Long nodded.

"Anderson, Thornton." Wells looked at the team's two main guards, "I will leave the perimeter to you. Meng Yun will not start, but according to Davidson College's previous games, Meng Yun will be replaced soon Thornton, you have to be careful when the time comes, Meng Yun's speed is very fast, and his breakthrough is very sharp."

Before Thornton opened his mouth, Xiang Long said, "I will make up for the defense."

Seeing what Xiang Long said, Thornton suppressed his original words and nodded silently.

Game start.

First came the jump ball. Patrick came to the middle circle and found that the player who jumped the ball with him was not VCU Rams center Jackson, but Xiang Long. He couldn't help being stunned.

At this time, the referee threw the ball into the air.

Patrick and Xiang Long took off almost at the same time, but before Patrick reached the highest point, the ball was slapped by Xiang Long to the backcourt and fell into Thornton's hands.

"This guy bounces so fast, and his bounce is abnormal." Patrick quickly turned back to defend, with lingering fears. He is 211cm tall, one centimeter taller than Xiang Long, but he is far behind Xiang Long in terms of bounce speed and take-off height For a long time, he now knows why Xiang Long came to jump the ball.

Xiang Long came to jump the ball and had a higher success rate than Jackson.

Thornton advances with the ball and the VCU Rams attack.

VCU Rams' starting lineup is center Jackson, power forward Xiang Long, small forward Cook, shooting guard Anderson, and point guard Thornton. This is their regular starting lineup and has basically remained unchanged this season.

"ball."

Xiang Long asked for the ball in a low position, holding Evan with one hand and raising the other.Thornton passed it over immediately, and then walked to the other side with the other three people, pulling them away.

Evan took a deep breath, lowered his center of gravity, and put his body against Xianglong. He felt a strong force coming from him, and his heart skipped a beat: "So much force." This force was so amazing that Evan had to be pushed step back.

Seeing that Evan couldn't stop him, Patrick immediately rushed over to help Evan double-team.

Seeing Patrick's movements, Xiang Long had a cold expression on his face. He suddenly turned half and half from the back basket to the face frame. He landed on one foot, leaned back, and threw the ball.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

Patrick stopped, Evan shook his head, and said to him: "Come up earlier next time, as soon as he gets the ball, you have to come up and double-team him with me."

"Yeah." Patrick nodded, feeling very uneasy.

Although the game started less than half a minute ago, he has already seen Xianglong's strength, excellent jumping, explosive power, terrifying strength, and precise shooting. Xianglong has all these things.

On the sidelines, Danny Clemens frowned, a little worried for Evan. Evan was obviously at a disadvantage in the matchup just now, and he couldn't take advantage of Xianglong's matchup.

Meng Yun also saw this, and sighed secretly: "It's not that the captain is weak, but that Xiang Long is too strong. I only have such physical fitness because of 'Sunstorm', but Xiang Long is not. Neither is it. Knowing what he ate to grow up, his physical fitness is so strong. Compared with him, the captain is far behind in terms of jumping, explosive power, or strength. The key is that Xiang Long still has a soft touch and excellent technology."

Whether it's physical fitness or technology, Evan can't take advantage of it.

Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible for Evan to defend against Xiang Long, and can only rely on the help of his teammates.As for the offensive end, it depends on Xiang Long's defensive ability.

However, judging from past data, Xiang Long is also a good defensive player. After all, where are the excellent innate conditions? Unless he is unwilling, the defense cannot be poor.
