MTL - Strong Offense and Defense-Chapter 91 . Beware of dark horses
dk has locked the victory of this game.
But usn did not give up, they still stubbornly defended, looking for opportunities to score.
They run even faster than before.
The ball passed by Carlo to Ewing was intercepted by their small forward, Nie Chuan rushed to intercept, but the ball was passed to others before Nie Chuan arrived. The tacit understanding of usn is manifested, and the speed such as Nie Chuan can only pursue as hard as possible. He and Reese launched a three-second defense in the area, blocking the usn's offense many times, but usn will try again.
The so-called "one wave before another, wave after wave" probably means this.
The pace of the game became tense, and Robert commented: "Although usn does not have a representative scoring player like Rees or Ewing, the match between players is very high. After all, basketball games are not one-on-one duels, and they are very out of position. important."
Nie Chuan rushed to the inside of usn. Their back defense speed was quite fast. Nie Chuan couldn't find the best entry point. If he continued to struggle, he might foul because he held the ball too long, so he passed the ball to Aside from Reese, Reese came to the basket after two people, facing the double guard of the opposing power forward and center.
How will he pass? This is a problem in the hearts of countless fans present.
In the eyes of everyone, Reese jumped up, but the usn power forward and center had a slight advantage over Reese in height, and the jumping ability was also good. Reese turned sideways in the air and looked like he was going to hook shots.
The audience became tense, and the commentators were looking forward to whether the ball could score.
But Reese's wrist shook and the ball returned to Nie Chuan's hands. Everyone thought that Nie Chuan would bring the ball to the layup, but he stepped back and pulled the defender out of the safe range. Another player also came to defend. Nie Chuan made a very quick touchdown pass and handed the ball over to Montenegro who came to meet Rees under the basket.
After receiving the ball, Montenegro did not try to enter the basket, but took off directly from the spot!
"Oh—Montenegro's shot!" Engli was surprised.
In his eyes, the center's scoring point is under the basket, but Montenegro scored very steadily.
He clenched his fists and yelled at Nie Chuan.
After a period of calm, applause sounded again.
Nie Chuan returned home with a smile. Everyone thought that Montenegro was just the overlord of the basket, but Nie Chuan will never forget how seriously this guy practiced shooting!
usn quickly regrouped, instead of defending the dk one-on-one, they carried out the team's defense to the end.
In the face of such an opponent, Nie Chuan's heart is full of respect, no matter how unfavorable the situation, no matter whether the victory is getting more and more distant, every minute and every second they are trying their best to do their best. Nie Chuan and Reese teamed up to break through their defense and maintained a high-quality score in the last minute of the game.
dk successfully advanced to the top 32.
Nie Chuan and usn's players shake hands to say goodbye.
A year of hard work has ended, and some of usn's players lower their heads to cover their eyes with their hands.
They went all out. Nie Chuan stood not far and close. He didn't step forward to comfort him, but he had an inexplicable admiration for usn.
The usn point guard came over and stretched out his hand to Nie Chuan: "Hey man, you have won our team. Since we have won, we must win to the end. Don't let us lose face."
"Of course." Nie Chuan nodded earnestly.
Three commentators also began to review and comment on the game.
"Honestly, this game was a pleasant surprise. It was due to usn's solid defensive ability that dk had to make a full breakthrough, which made this wonderful game. But the next game of dk will be It won't be easy, they will face the dark horse ujt who reached the finals. "Aspenson has already obtained the result of another game.
"We can set aside the next game and talk about this game first." Engle coughed. "Robert, why not analyze the performance of today's winner dk from a professional perspective?"
"So there are a lot to say. One of the most sensible things for usn as a dk opponent is not to use one-on-one tactics. Some teams may take one-on-one after being forced to the end by the game situation. Offensive and defensive, but we can clearly see that the overall level of dk players in this field is within the league's first-class level. Reese Redington will sharply pierce their core and their point guard that black A child with a hair named 'Nie Chuan' can also have the ability to break through multiple players, and the USN defense line will be easily torn. However, USN focused its defensive focus within the three-second area and strengthened the defense. . But unfortunately, such a passive defense cannot withstand the active attack of dk. Dk's point guards link the basket with the entire three-point line, the attacking formation has been changing, there is no fixed cut-in angle, ris redington The strong scoring ability and Ewing's long shots, Carlo and Montenegro's control under the basket have made usn tired. Usn did a good job, but unfortunately they encountered dk in their first game.
"Then let's wait and see if dk is the awakened king."
After the game, Nie Chuan followed the team back to the bus.
Cheering fans along the way, Nie Chuan could hear the shutter sound of the mobile phone no matter where he went. Nie Chuan is not sure whether they are taking pictures of themselves or the whole team.
When Nie Chuan sat in his seat, his knees were still shaking.
"Reese ... this is the first final I participated in ... we won, right?" Nie Chuan asked not very sure.
"Yes, we won. And you have contributed."
Reese grabbed Nie Chuan's head and leaned lightly on his shoulder.
Nie Chuan closed her eyes and smiled.
"It's weird. I was nervous before I played. I really started the game and I'm not nervous anymore. But now that the game is over, why am I somehow nervous again?"
"Because you know, your opponents will become stronger and stronger. Next, you won't win so easily."
Nie Chuan exhaled, "This is what it is!"
Despite the pressure, I started to look forward to it inexplicably.
Back to school, the basketball team was enthusiastically sought after the bus entered the campus.
Nie Chuan looked out the window, and immediately a girl opened her arms and wrote in Chinese on her chest: I love you, Nie Chuan!
Nie Chuan was dumbfounded. He never expected that one day he would have such a passionate fan!
A hand stretched over and directly blocked Nie Chuan's eyes.
"get off."
Then Nie Chuan realized that his act of staring at female fans made Reese unhappy.
Coach Gordon started the post-match review, and the video reviewed the game that had just ended.
"We have won usn, which is not surprising, because this is what we deserve. They are not seed teams. But the further down our opponents will be stronger, this is the process to the top of the pyramid, Everyone wants that position, but the vast majority will be squeezed out. "Coach Gordon looked in the direction of Nie Chuan.
Nie Chuan steadily accepted the eyes of the coach. He knows Coach Gordon's scruples. Of the five main players, only he is participating in the league finals for the first time.
"We are perfect for playing against usn. But in the next match, our opponent will be ujt. Their head coach is nicknamed 'Old Sparrow' and is my old opponent. Last year he was also the coach of the top four team cbu This year, he will promise ujt. I believe that this school's team must be very attractive to him. Last year's ujt did not even enter the top 64. But when I watched ujt's performance in the regular season this year , I am very worried about our dk. "
As soon as Coach Gordon's words came to an end, the whole team's joy was suddenly silenced because they were in the top 32.
The assistant coaches played ujt's last game in the regular season for the team.
However, in the opening minute, they controlled the rhythm of the audience with speed and suppressed their opponents.
Nie Chuan's brow frowned. He calculated in his heart that it only took four to five seconds from ujt to get the ball and score. And their back defense speed is quite fast.
Of course, speed is just one of the advantages, and Nie Chuan didn't feel that he couldn't break through their defense.
Because he noticed the other power forward Manning, who is not small, but not less flexible than Carlo. One of Ujt's opponents in this game was a well-known shooter in the regional league. He faced Manning's urgent mark and scored only five points in the game. The outside shooter is sealed, this lethality is extremely great.
"Reese, should you be familiar with this Manning?" Coach Gordon directed Reese's attention. "I remember he was in the same middle school as you."
"Yes. He used to practice hurdles. He was very explosive and fast. He was tapped by the coach at the time and entered the basketball team of our middle school. His responsiveness is fast and defense is his strength." Reese replied.
Nie Chuan could not help but reconsider the strength of this Manning. The guy who can be rated by Reese as "excellent power and speed" is not just the "good" level.
Carlo hit Ewing with his elbow and said with a gloating voice: "It's over, Ewing, can you score more than five points under his defense?"
Ewing's mood was already a bit heavy, but he still gave Carlo a serious elbow: "What if I get fifteen points?"
"I'll clean your shoes," Carlow replied.
"You don't need a shoe polish, you can lick my shoes." Ewing pointed to his toes.
Everyone laughed, but no one thought it was really funny.
Nie Chuan knew that Ewing was actually nervous. He tapped Ewing's shoulder lightly with his fist, and Ewing turned his face to the mouth and said to Nie Chuan: Rest assured, I will get fifteen points.
Fifteen points, but five three-pointers, Ewing is really arrogant.
Nie Chuan touched his nose.
"In addition to power forward Manning, there is their small forward Jonathan. His ability to cut in and Reese is a soul person who drives ujt speed. Nie Chuan, I need you to suppress his speed for Reese And Ewing's chance to score. In addition, Nie Chuan, I want to remind you that the game against ujt is not your field. "
Nie Chuan stopped, this is the first time that Coach Gordon bluntly stated that he did not want Nie Chuan to do anything.
Coach Gordon turned around and fast-forwarded the game video. The defender of ujt passed the ball to their quartile, and the quartile passed the ball to the center. The connection of the entire pass is very tight. It is very difficult to intercept. The center is A very tall guy, he got up and dunked with both hands. The opponent had two players jump together to intercept, but he was forced into the basket by brute force, and the two opponents who intercepted him fell to the ground and the other sat directly. On the ground.
The basket shook desperately, as if to break.
Not only Nie Chuan, the other players frowned as they watched the scene, as if the ball was buckled above their heads.
The referee did not whistle, it was just a reasonable collision.
Nie Chuan can imagine that if he went to the basket to intercept this guy, he would be hit and fly ... The bones in his body are inexplicably painful.
"This is the center of Ujt Cook. Montenegro, I need you to be cautious about this guy." Coach Gordon's finger pointed in the direction of Montenegro.
Montenegro nodded strongly.
"And Carlo, although you and Ewing have bet, I still have to explain to you a very important task. If ujt power forward Manning really comes to defend Ewing one-on-one, I want you to respond Ewing, you must not let that power forward Manning frustrate our scoring ability on the perimeter! "Coach Gordon's finger nodded in the air, obviously without any sound but extremely powerful.
Carlo's expression also became serious.
"Coach, even if you don't tell me that, I won't let Ewing fight alone." Carlo squinted at Ewing.
"Huh!" Ewing tilted his head, holding his arms.
Everyone continues to watch the whole game.
Nie Chuan, sitting on the ground, was inspired by ujt's outstanding performance. He really wanted to rush into the game and compete with the opponent.
ujt can be said to be a combination of speed and power.
When Nie Chuan and Reese returned to the dormitory, Nie Chuan couldn't wait to turn on the computer and search for the video of the game before utj. They have been very dazzling in the regular season, and many of the powerhouses who have reached the finals have been cut off by ujt.
It is indeed a dark horse.
