"Shall I fight for the last few minutes?" Abraham was taken aback. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's you. "Don't be so surprised, today's game is different. The University of Kentucky is the toughest opponent we've faced this season, and they're on the inside, didn't you notice that Charles was playing poorly today?"

Abraham was stunned, and when he thought about it, Charles shot 3 out of 8 today, only 6, no free throws, and only 3 rebounds.

You know, Charles's average points per game this season is close to 20, and today it was only 6 points, which is obviously very wrong.

And the reason why this is the case, one is Charles's own hand problem, but more critical is the opponent's interior line, Karl Anthony Towns, who is known as a talented center.

Towns is averaging 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game this season, which doesn't look like a lot of points other than blocks and rebounds. But you know, he only averages 20 minutes per game, and he is still in a strong team like Kentucky.

On the other team, Downs would have played more minutes and more shots, and would never have scored just 10.3 points.

Compare that to Charles, who is averaging 32 minutes per game, 12 more than Downs. In addition to scoring more points than Downs, Charles doesn't average as many rebounds and blocks per game as Downs.

Towns has played less minutes and has more rebounding and blocking stats than Charles. It can be seen that in defense, Downs's ability is actually far above Charles.

Therefore, under the defense of Towns, Charles is difficult to deploy, and the number of shots, shooting percentage, and rebounds have dropped a lot.

At this point, Carl needs an inside lineman, someone who can contain Downs for Charles, or someone who can step up and score on the inside.

And this man can only be Abraham!

As for Austin, although Austin is okay, he is not even half cheap in the position of the opponent's power forward, and it is a tie at best.

Only Abraham, who is better in terms of physicality and offensive means than the opponent's power forward, can be used as a strong point to stand up when Charles is dumb, inflict damage on the interior of the University of Kentucky, and prop up a second point of attack for UCLA in addition to Chen Feng.

'Abraham, you have to believe in yourself, you're a good player and just because you're young doesn't mean you're inferior to others. Karl looked at Abraham and said, "I believe in you, and you have to believe in yourself, wait a minute, and fight well." If you are to win this game today, your play will be crucial. ”

"Coach......" Abraham was shocked, his eyes burst into bright light, and he nodded heavily, "Well, don't worry, I won't let you down." ”

"Okay, let's rest first. Carl said with a smile, subconsciously glanced at Charles, who was sitting on the bench with a depressed expression, and couldn't help but sigh.

Charles has been doing well this season, but he's a senior and he's a lot worse than Downs when it comes to talent.

After all, Downs is only a freshman this year.

"With Charles's condition, it would be nice to be in the first round if he participated in the draft this year. Let's hope we can win the championship, if we can win the championship, it shouldn't be a problem for him to get to the first round. Carl muttered to himself, subconsciously looking at Downs, "This young man is indeed good, I have heard his name for a long time, and he is indeed a genius." If he participates in the draft this year...... Well, maybe you can make it to the top three. ”

It's no wonder that Karl is pessimistic, the NBA is like that, and the team doesn't value how well you play now, but your potential.

This is the reason why so many scoring champions, assist kings, and rebounding kings in NCAA history participated in the draft and were not high.

Some of the more powerful in the NCAA, such as JJ Redick, who was a man of the year in the NCAA, ended up with an 11th pick in the first round.

Another example is Sean Battier, who is also a superstar in the NCAA, and has also scored 43 points, 19 rebounds, 8 assists, and 4 blocks in a single game, and was elected MOP in the Final Four, and also led Duke University to win the NCAA championship.

But at that time, Battier was already a senior, participated in the draft, and only got a 6th pick in the first round, which was not much different from Redick.

Look at those who came out of the NCAA and had a high draft pick.

Anthony Davis, the No. 1 first-round pick in the draft, but he only played one season in college, John Wall, the No. 1 pick in the first round, like Anthony Davis, only played one season in college, and Greg Oden and Kevin Durant both played only one season in the NCAA.

That's the potential, even though they're only freshmen, but once they enter the draft, they're going to be higher in the overall pick than those juniors and seniors.

Charles is now in his senior year, and his performance in the previous three years was not top-notch, but he only broke out this year, and his potential has almost been exhausted.

So, Karl's predictions about his draft pick aren't unfounded.

......

On the field, the scores of the two sides are still very stalemate, always deadlocked, you lead for a while, I lead for a while, and rise alternately.

In the blink of an eye, 13 minutes of the second half were played, and the score became 56:58, with UCLA trailing by two points.

At this time, the University of Kentucky substitute center took the ball on the inside, shook it for a moment, and suddenly pulled it out, with a little back, and hit the board.

“56:60”

Karl's face changed slightly, and he decisively called a timeout.

Waiting for the players to come down, Karl spread out the tactical board and said, "Wait a minute, Charles, Chen, Abraham, you three up, Austin, Mike, Green, you three down." As he spoke, he looked at the other two, "Renard, Douglas, how is your physical strength, can you still support it?"

"No problem. ”

"I'm fine. The two said.

"Good. Karl nodded and began to arrange: "Charles, Abraham, you two should pay attention to the interior defense and protect the rebounds." On offense...... Charles, you try to pull Downs to the outside and make room for Abraham. ”

Charles frowned, but agreed, "Yes." ”

This is the effect of the "Iron and Blood Plan", if it is changed before, Charles will definitely not be willing, doesn't this make him admit defeat to Downs?

But after the tempering of the "Iron and Blood Plan", obeying Carl's orders, unconditional obedience has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has formed a habit, so although Charles feels uncomfortable in his heart, he still chooses to obey.

Karl looked at Chen Feng again: "Chen, there are still seven minutes left, I want you to be liberated, and we need you to score at this time." ”

"Well, I understand. Chen Feng nodded.
