Chapter 37 Battle against Duke ([-])

In the opening game, the two teams attacked each other with a goal, which ignited the fiery atmosphere of the audience.

Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible for the fans of the two sides to watch each other rationally. There is no fight, thanks to the security personnel who have drawn a clear line of separation between the fans of the two sides. .

At this moment, Dolores turned into Jagged Pepper. On one side of her delicate face was painted the team logo of Syracuse University's Orangemen basketball team, and on the other side was a big "Tang" oil paint. The fans on her side sat together The place where Duke fans meet is the player's aisle in the middle, and the two teams just spray each other across the air.

After Syracuse University completed the alley-oop, she and Angela Green yelled the most happily, and then made a contemptuous gesture with both index fingers down at the Duke fans on the other side, and shouted wildly: "Fack squid, Jump again, you bastards!"

Not to be outdone, the Duke fans yelled back: "Fuck, hang on, I'll kill you in minutes."

"It's kind of you to send an empty pick!" Dolores taunted loudly. Although it was April and she was only wearing tight denim and a long-sleeved jersey jacket, she could still see her thrilling and proud figure. At this moment, her face was painted. She is extremely wild in oil paint, which adds a different kind of charm. Even if the fans of the two teams scold each other, there are still many gay men who secretly stare at her.

Tang Wenlong didn't know that his female fans were confronting others, and he was under the serious care of Duke University on the court.

Sayer, Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler are always on the same line, and every two players will always take care of each other. Lance Thomas, who has excellent athletic ability in the penalty area, and the tall Zobeck The left one guarded the basket, impressively forming a 3-2 zone defense among the zone defenses.

In the NBA, which emphasizes fast pace and personal ability, zone defense is rarely used, but in college leagues, coaches still like to use zone defense to defend some players with outstanding personal abilities.

The old coach K looked at Tang Wenlong who was calmly directing the players to run, and couldn't help showing a hint of admiration in his eyes, "This little guy's commanding ability is really good."

Tang Wenlong asked the players to spread out and let Wesley Johnson run to the bottom corner to catch the ball.Wesley Johnson understood, and then received a pass from Tang Wenlong in the bottom corner. At this time, Lance Thomas in the penalty area had to make up and put up a defensive posture in front of Wesley Johnson.

Wesley Johnson remembered this basic tactic of breaking the 3-2 zone defense very well. He immediately kept the ball and transferred the ball to Anderson in the fourth position. At this moment, Zobeck could only go to the right side of the basket to defend Anderson , Blake and Andy Laustin appeared on the left side of the entire basketball court with two large open spaces, while Nolan Smith was the only defensive player.

Andy Laustin shot a three-pointer from the outside, Shayer cleverly let go of Tang Wenlong and rushed towards him.

"Clang~"

Andy's complexion turned dark. He felt good when he shot just now, but he didn't expect this shot to be hit.

The rebound was taken by Lance Thomas who returned to the inside. This guy is simply a gibbon, even if compared with Wesley Johnson, he doesn't seem to be much worse.

Everyone in Xuecheng immediately retreated like a tide, and Tang Wenlong stood guard at the top of the arc, with his arms outstretched, ready to fight.

Syracuse's defense is a typical mixed defense, Wesley Johnson, the most mobile and best defender on the team, focuses on the arrows, and the rest of the team uses zone defense.

This set of defensive tactics is familiar to Syracuse University. After using it for a season, it has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow. They cooperate with each other tacitly, and they know how to appear in the right position with just one look.

And Duke mainly relies on pick-and-roll offense. After all, they have a super big man like Zobek in their team, who is simply the best candidate for a meat shield.

Shayer pretended to command and then passed it to Nolan Smith. Nolan Smith called Zobek to come out for the pick and roll, and then shot a jumper after a single block screen and missed it.

Nolan-Smith shook his hand, feeling a little depressed. He had already had a chance just now, but it was a pity that he failed to make the shot.On the other side, Andy Laustin wiped off his sweat, secretly exclaiming that he was lucky. In the defense just now, he was actually a bit out of position.

Tang Wenlong advanced with the ball and found that Duke University's defensive tactics had changed again, and now it has become a man-to-man defense.

He rolled his eyes, controlled the ball and ran to a 45-degree position, then waved his hand to signal everyone to open up the space.

"Wow, one-on-one, kill them!" Dolores screamed, and the sound of cheering overwhelmed the boos of Duke University in a small area.

Wesley Johnson and Andy Laustin cleverly ran to the left half, taking away the defensive players for Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong controlled the basketball back and forth from behind, waiting for the crowd to pull away, then slowly lowered his body, controlled the ball to his crotch, and then slowly moved forward step by step.

Sayer is facing a big enemy, he has long been aware of the breakthrough ability of this Chinese, and knows that what this guy likes most is a sudden burst.

Tang Wenlong frowned slightly. Sayer was very good at defending. If he advanced from this distance, he could barely get in front of Sayer. If he made a jumper, he would be able to interfere with the opponent.

His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the way to end the ball.

"Snapped!"

The basketball slapped on the floor and moved back and forth under his crotch. With a shake of his shoulder, he made a tentative move to break through on the left side, and before Shayer could react, he immediately pulled the basketball back, and the basketball turned into a yellow streak. The light was refracted on the floor and passed to Tang Wenlong's right hand, which kept spinning.

The speed of this series of changes is extremely fast. Even if Sayer's concentration is amazing, it is inevitable that he will be a little bit shaken, and his footsteps will fluctuate slightly.

Tang Wenlong immediately took advantage of the weak breakthrough, and then he bent down and exploded, like a strong bull, and collided with Shayer with a single impact.

Sayer snorted, feeling as if his body had been hit by a locomotive, and his whole body flew up lightly by tens of centimeters.

Now Sayer couldn't keep up with Tang Wenlong anymore. With a change in Tang Wenlong's wrist, he could control the ball a little faster. With a wrong footstep, he immediately broke through Sayer's defense.

"Ah, what a MAN!" Angela screamed with her eyes shining.

"What, this guy hit someone with the ball!" The Duke fans were very dissatisfied. Seeing Tang Wenlong who scored two points with a pull-up jumper, they all booed the referee.

Jon Shayer grinned and touched his ribs. He felt that the side seemed to be broken, and he seemed to be unconscious.

Tang Wenlong shrugged his shoulders, moved his feet, and stepped back to defend.

After the offensive and defensive rotation, Duke University relied on Zobek's small inside hook to score two points. Black raised his hands depressingly, but failed to cause too much interference.

"Push him away from the penalty area, don't let him get close to the basket!" Tang Wenlong said.

Blake nodded, understanding.

A few minutes later, Anderson caused a thug foul by Lance Thomas. Syracuse and Duke made normal substitution adjustments, and Duke put their Plumlee brothers on.

Coach Jim's eyes were almost red, thinking that he searched for insiders all over high school but it didn't have much effect. Duke University can casually make up a combination of insiders with different styles from the two teams.

However, the Plumlee brothers can only be said to have good talents at this time. When it comes to technology, they are not as good as Black and Anderson in Syracuse. However, Singler found the opportunity to hit the first three-pointer of the two teams in the audience, and put The fans of Duke University were very excited, and the cheers suppressed Syracuse University for several rounds.

After looking at his watch, the referee found a chance of a dead ball to force the two teams into a timeout.

At this time, Syracuse University led 13 to 12 by one point, and the advantage was negligible.

For many managers in the NBA at the moment, this game is also very important. This is the best alchemy stone to test whether a player has excellent competition ability.Compared with Syracuse University, which has two hot draft picks, Duke University is much poorer. Although everyone is the No. 1 seed, only Kyle Singler is the predicted lottery in 2010. In the draft, others such as Lance Thomas or Nolan Smith were only ranked in the second round, and even Shayer was not even able to qualify for the second round.

After entering April, the records of many teams in the NBA have basically been determined. For example, the No. 4 Cavaliers in the East and the No. 23 Lakers in the West are regarded as the two favorites to win the championship this year. The drama of No. 24 vs. No. [-] is simply Hollywood Blockbuster.For example, the Nets, which just brought in a Russian tycoon, are basically locked in the last record in the league, and the goal is far away from the No. [-] pick.

It is reported that the Russian tycoon previously offered coach K an annual salary of around 1200 million to 1500 million, but was rejected by others. Coach K made it clear that he was not interested in working in the NBA.

On the one hand, his high-spirited integrity proves some conceptual differences between NBA head coaches and NCAA head coaches. Academic coaches like them are not interested in some players sending coaches; The attitude of keeping a respectful distance from the commercial model, so I would rather take a "teacher's salary" with an annual salary of 300 million, than be a "company employee" who may be fired at any time.

PS: Singler was drafted in 11. Singler was still good in 10, but he fell to the second round after being injured in 11.
