Chapter 025: Restless Donovan

UCLA is actively preparing for the game, and Florida is not idle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the lounge of the University of Florida's basketball arena, Coach Billy Donovan is gathering his players to watch a video and study their next opponent, UCLA.

The rich second generation of France, who is also the MOP of last year's NCAA, Joakim Noah, opened his mouth and smirked and said to his teammates: "Very good, we met this stupid bear in the top 4 this year, and we can have a roast bear dinner again!"

Dominican Al Horford said cautiously: "Don't be too careless, they have learned the lessons of last year, and this year will definitely be more difficult." Also, the newcomer of the Celestial Empire who won the Wooden Award. To be honest, we know too little about him!"

Billy Donovan nodded and said, "That's right, don't underestimate your opponent. I originally thought that we had an absolute advantage on the inside, but after watching the data and videos of this Celestial Empire, I felt that we needed to be vigilant and adopt a trap tactic against this Kraft Nguyen if necessary. ”

Noah said a little unhappily: "What? It's just such a short insider, and I need a bag, I can do it alone." Al, you can help me stop that slow UCLA center, he's so slow that I want to doze off when I'm defending!"

Hodford and Noah swap No. 4 and Noah positions in the team, so most of the time, it doesn't matter who defends the center. But this time, Horford refused: "Hey, Joe, don't think I don't know what you're up to." I've been paying attention to this newcomer who suddenly appeared for a long time, and I'm not ready to let go of such a good opportunity!"

Noah wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Donovan.

"Okay! According to the original plan, Joe will defend the center of the Celestial Empire, and Al will take care of the Celestial Man! Joe, I will give you another privilege by the way, if the center of the UCLA is completely suppressed by you, I will allow you to decide for yourself to trouble the Celestial Empire at any time that is appropriate!" Donovan said.

"Great! I'm sure...... Wait a minute, isn't that why I'm going to take him in the bag?" Noah is a little impulsive at times, but he's not stupid at all.

However, by the time he reacted, Horford on the side had already laughed, and the two suddenly quarreled together.

Although Donovan is also known as an iron-fisted coach, he also gives his players ample opportunities to communicate. No kidding, he's a little jealous of Kraft Nguyen's short UCLA insider.

Judging from the information in hand, this interior player has the physical gifts of top black players, kaleidoscopic low-post skills, and straight-arm shooting skills that are not stable but difficult to defend.

If you insist on talking about shortcomings, the height of about 6'6" to 6'7" may be regarded as a significant disadvantage. But Donovan, who has been in the basketball world for many years, understands that height is very deceptive. For example, Charles Barkley, who is less than 198cm tall, Dennis Rodman, who is 203cm tall in shoes, and Larry Johnson, who is 201cm tall, these vivid examples tell everyone that height is never the only criterion for an excellent insider.

No one would have guessed that Donovan was even prepared to use the method of dealing with Auden to lock up Ruan Erniu.

……

On March 31, the Georgia Dome (also translated as Georgia Dome) arena in Atlanta. There will be two final 4 matches and the final finals.

The first two players to play were the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Georgetown Marvels.

Auden the Great vs. Roy Hibbert was the biggest highlight of the game, but in the first 3 minutes, Greg Oden was forced to leave the game because of 2 fouls in a row.

Normally, the next game should be Roy Hibbert's showtime. But it was Buckeyes guard Mike Conley who was in control of the game, and he led the team to a quick lead.

Throughout the game, both centers were in foul trouble. Roy Hibbert's 19 points and 6 rebounds were slightly better than Oden's 13 points and 8 rebounds, but the two of them had about 20 minutes of playing time that was simply not enough to decide a normal game.

Jeff Green of the Marvel team had nine points and 12 rebounds, and he didn't show the demeanor of a leader in key moments.

On the other hand, Mike Conley of the Buckeyes team, with a performance of 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists, finally helped the Buckeyes win the game, and Ohio State advanced to the 2007 NCAA Finals.

Once a place in the final has been decided, all eyes are naturally on the other.

Is it Florida, the defending champion of the toughest country, or the historic basketball giant UCLA? Basketball fans across the country are waiting for this game.

The head coach finally submitted his squad at the last minute of the time set before the game.

Florida Alligators:

C Joakim Noah

P.F. Al Horford

SF Corey Brewer

SG Lee Humphrey

PG Taulyn Green

UCLA Bruins:

C Lorenzo Mata

Pf Nguyen Er Niu

SF Luke Richard Palmert

SG Aaron Afflaro

PG Darren Collison

The Crocodiles' starting lineup was what everyone expected, but coach Ben Holland clearly tasted the sweetness in the last game against the University of Kansas, and resolutely put Palmert in the small forward position to increase the defensive intensity.

In the center of the basketball court, the basketball was tossed high into the air by the referee.

Joakim Noah jumped first and hit the basketball, but the ball was picked up by Darren Collison who came out.

Ruan Erniu leaned on Horford in the low post and easily got to the position.

Collison also delivered the ball to him as soon as possible. Ruan Erniu slammed into a force, forced Horford to take a step back, and then took a 360-degree turn and shook off Horford. Facing Joakim Noah, who came to help defend with teeth and claws, an explosive one-arm partition instantly ignited the game.

Of course, Westbrook, a good friend, would not let go of this opportunity to steal the spotlight in front of the people of the whole country, and he was the first to jump up, open his arms and cheer.

Ruan Erniu himself didn't say anything, put the basketball that rebounded into his hand on the floor with a cold face, and ran towards the half court reflexively.

"Cover me! Not only is he powerful, but he's also fast!" Al Horford didn't say much, but his soft words to Joain Noah in the first round fully proved Ruan Erniu's strength.

The seemingly brainless Frenchman is actually a person with a seven-trick heart. Even Al was so quick to admit that he was not as good as that Chinese, and he who was moving slower was probably not able to keep up with the speed of the Celestial Empire. In this case, in order to win, it is necessary to be ready to wrap this Chinese at any time.

That's the strategy on the defensive end, though. In attack, Noah was confident against a slower-moving Juan Mata. Also in the low post, Joaquin Noah broke through with the ball and easily passed Mata.

The Frenchman stretched out his long arms and lifted the ball high in the air, ready to return the fire with a dunk.

The truth is, what he thinks is too beautiful!

A big hand that suddenly appeared fanned down like a black cloud pressing down on the city!
