Center first

Chapter 41 Who stipulated that the center cannot organize the offense?
The duel between Lin Yi and OJ Mayo came as scheduled.

Reporters crowded the already not-so-abundant media seats early, and all their guns and short cannons were aimed at the leaders on both sides.Although McNeese is the captain of Oregon, the scarcity of big men and the attractiveness of dream dance moves all focus on Lin Yi. As for the other side, is there a better player than OJ Mayo?

"McNeice, your opponent in this game is the best defender in the league. Are you ready?" Lewis asked while looking at his team captain.

"I'm sure I can't beat him single-handedly, but we are a whole. We have a strong inside offensive ability. I don't think I need to compare his ability with him. What I should do is to control the offense and defense of the whole team. You Say it, boss." McNeese knew that his strength was not as good as OJ Mayo, so he had no intention of scoring points with the opponent from the beginning.

"Captain, don't forget the bird trap we prepared." After Lin Yi finished speaking, he drew with McNesby with his hands.

"Bird trap? Lin Yi and you, McNeese, what weird things are they researching?" Lewis has noticed since yesterday that Lin Yi and McNeese were muttering to the side during training, and now he heard what Lin Yi said about bird catching. The device may be the little trick these two guys are doing behind the scenes.

Bird trap?It's a vivid metaphor, OJ Mayo is indeed like a bird that can fly, but it's a pity that you are a lonely guy after all.

Heroes also need partners. Lonely heroes only exist in Hollywood blockbusters. The god of basketball Jordan also needs a Batman to help him.

What's more, you are not the omnipotent god, the era when you can win everything by fighting alone has long passed.

"Mayo, you still play point guard in this game. Oregon's point guard McNeese is the source of their attack. You only need to cut off his connection with the inside, and their big man has no room to play. What kind of ghost dance can he do." The coach of the University of Southern California assigned a task to OJ Mayo.

"If he was useless, would we have lost so badly in the regular season? The one who was blocked by a person with hidden strength didn't even dare to shoot, and said something to limit the opponent's performance." Mayo took over halfway. His coach has never been optimistic, and Faye, who persuaded him to enter the University of Southern California, has been fired by the short-sighted university trustee.

"Anyway, this is the first and last time to participate in the NCAA competition. Now I just want to challenge the tall oriental boy opposite. As for the life and death of the University of Southern California, I have nothing to do with it, but if you want to show off, you should ask me first OJ Mayo, I'm never used to losing."

"As for the blushing coach next to him, forget it, it has nothing to do with me. If you dare to let me not play, the school directors will tear him alive." OJ Mayoli ignored him The guy whose face was as red as a monkey's butt, his eyes were always fixed on the tall oriental boy opposite him.

Impact, this is McNeese's biggest experience since the whistle sounded at the start of the game.The oppressive defense of OJ Mayo, who is 1.95 meters tall, against McNeese, who is only 1.88 meters tall, prevented the captain of Oregon from connecting the normal operation of the entire team.No choice but to give the ball to shooting guard Wayman to control, he can only passively involve the opponent's running position.

The point guard is the brain of a team. Any organization needs leadership. This is an undeniable fact, especially for a team. A healthy and good brain can make the team more effective.

But now Oregon's brain is facing a situation where it stops functioning. Needless to say, it is difficult to control the rhythm. Under OJ Mayo's marking, it is difficult for him to connect the ball.

The University of Oregon, which has lost its entire rhythm, can only try its best to hang the ball into the penalty area and rely on Lin Yi's ability to open the situation, but none of the teams that can enter the Elite Eight is easy to deal with.

Even if none of their inside lines can be used to speak, but no one can face two or even three people taking turns double-teaming alone in a small space. Rely on your own touch and pace to score.

The score throughout the first half has been stuck in a stalemate. OJ Mayo not only disrupted Oregon's offensive rhythm when defending, but also violently impacted McNeese's nerves when attacking.

OJ Mayo's shooting stability may be well-known among the entire NCAA guards. His attack range is also the most terrifying. A slightly farther mid-range shot is about the same.

Now McNeese really feels very embarrassed. If he doesn't guard against OJ Mayo, he will fire wantonly on the periphery. If he guards against it, the speed of that guy's first step is unimaginable.For a while, McNeese really didn't know whether to defend against a shot or a breakthrough, and entered a dilemma.

Lewis sat on the dugout and watched what was happening on the court. He didn't yell at his unsatisfactory performance as usual. He knew that McNeese was just a good player and not a talent.It is very rare for him to be able to reach this point through his own efforts, so we can't demand anything from him.

As for what to do about OJ Mayo, it seems that he can only rely on Lin Yi. He originally wanted to save his ability for later, but it seems that he can't hide it.Alas, damn OJ Mayo.

The entire first half was spent in such continuous consumption. Lin Yi scored 25 points and [-] rebounds inside the opponent. OJ Mayo scored [-] points. During the intermission, Lewis started his own arrangement. He didn't want to continue to consume like this.

"McNeice, now you're being stared down by OJ Mayo, so don't try to organize the offense for now, you just need to stare at the guy's breakthrough footsteps on the defensive end, compress his breakthrough route, understand? Organize now The task is given to Lin Yi, who is now the command tower on the field, use him as a transfer point to run the ball, and break their defense for me." Everyone did not object to Lewis' arrangement, and this is what Lewis admired most about his players , Absolute obedience sometimes represents absolute tactical execution ability.

"Lin Yi, use your height to pass the ball to me. OJ Mayo wants to stare at you as a big organizer. It is impossible. Give me their inside line and let Wayman and Hansen There is room for breakthrough, understand." Lewis patted Lin Yi on the back.

"Well, I know the boss. Just now, I actually wanted to mention the high post to pass the ball. The two guys who defended me in the penalty area were too rogue. They touched almost all of my body. I think I need Take a good shower after the game." When Lin recalled the defensive actions of those two guys, he burst into speechless sweat, saying that he had learned so many little tricks that were not so shameless.

After being eaten tofu by a man, being molested by four big slaps, the black lines on Lin Yi's head began to increase.

After the break, OJ Mayo was stunned by the changes made by the Oregon team who made their debut again.McNeese didn't think about controlling the ball anymore, and ran openly across the center circle and along the three-point line to support. The original shooting guard Wayman attacked with the ball, and Lin Yi directly pulled to the high post for a pick-and-roll.

OJ Mayo can only choose to mark the empty-handed McNeese. He doesn't want to let go of this guy who has a fixed score of about [-] points per game. As for the high-post Lin Yi, he should not consider it.Let the shooting guard handle the ball, is this your contingency?If this is your approach, it can only be said that the level of Lewis, who is known as the famous NCAA coach over there, is not very good.

The shooting guard in Southern California went directly to defend Wayman who was holding the ball, but ignored the moving wall beside him, Lin Yi.

For two consecutive times, Lin Yi successfully blocked the opponent's defender and center behind him, giving Wayman a chance to break through the attack, and the two attacks were successful.

The Southern California center, whose height and strength are not dominant, can only mention the high position to the power forward again to defend Lin Yi's pick-and-roll transition, so that the middle of the penalty area has been emptied.

Wayman, who was preparing to make a breakthrough through the pick-and-roll again, handed the ball directly into Lin Yi's hands the moment he bypassed Lin Yi, and Weiman, who brushed past him, appeared in front of the two insiders in Southern California again, and his hands were empty. one thing.

At the moment when the two big men were stunned, Lin Yi, who had his back to the basket, turned his back and threw the ball from his right ear to the center of the three-second zone without looking at his back.

Oregon's small forward Hansen made an air cut and made a beautiful slam dunk into the basket. The whole process was as fast as lightning.

"Nolook pass", a pass without looking at people, the signature trick of "Magic" Johnson back then, performed on a person taller than "Magician", it was more shocking than a defender.

OJ Mayo is of course aware of the tricks of his childhood idol, but a seemingly inadvertent performance by a center made him aware of the danger.

A guy with a height of [-] meters should appear as a passer, and how big the passing range should be based on him. Of course, as a point guard, he knows better than others.

This guy, still retained his own strength in the first battle against Griffin?

OJ Mayo felt a little horrified about this question of his own.
