Chapter Thirty-Eight: Brooke's Shortcomings

After seeing Anjie score with a step-back jumper in front of Brook Lopez, many Stanford University Crimson fans thought it was just Anjie's luck. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but An Jie's series of performances after that made it impossible for this group of guys to pick out the thorns.

On the offensive end, Anjie singled with Brook Lopez again and again, with nimble footwork, turnaround jumpers, hook hands, and dunks after cutting inside...... Anjie showed his all-round offensive skills to the fullest, and no matter how strong Brook Lopez was, he couldn't defend against all of Anjie's scoring methods.

On the defensive end, An Jie also used a block to make a shame. The ball, Brook Lopez, thought he had shaken off An Jie with his footsteps, but An Jie flew the basketball fan in Brooke's hand from behind.

The last three minutes of the first half were the game the fans wanted to see today, and even though it was delayed for so long, the enthusiasm of the fans did not diminish in the slightest.

It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half that the fans came out of their extreme frenzy. Under An Jie's excellent performance, the Whirlwind team really recovered a ten-point difference and equalized the score.

All the fans found themselves sweating profusely and hoarse with voices around them. Anjie came from behind and didn't disappoint the fans or Brook Lopez. The two of them deserve the cheers of all the fans in attendance, a duel between two powerful centre-forwards that the fans haven't seen in years. In the NBA, there is the "Yao Shark War", and in the NCAA, the confrontation between Anjie and Lopez undoubtedly represents a war between the highest-level centers.

Looking at Anjie, who had rebounded strongly in the last few minutes, Divac finally let out a long breath, it seems that the kid's hard work in the past few months has indeed not been in vain.

At halftime, the big screen on the scene kept playing the wonderful pictures of the confrontation between the two big centers. The most direct confrontation, the most gorgeous technique. The whole collection looks like what An Jie said, the purest art is also pure violence.

"Brooke, are you still fit?" Larry Myers asked his star in the locker room at Stanford University with concern, and his erratic performance in the final three minutes worried Myers.

"Coach has no problem with physical strength, now you believe in the strength of that Chinese kid. Brook Lopez wiped the sweat from his head, and playing a confident Anjie was bound to cause more problems for himself in the second half.

"Attacking Brooke, I want you to focus more on offense. If you continue to fight that guy named Anjie in the second half, your stamina will be depleted very quickly. Robin, you came to see the Asian for your brother in the second half. "Miles still trusts Robin as the king of blocks. If Brooke Lopez is the spear of Stanford, then Robin Lopez is the backbone of Stanford.

"Leave it to me, boss, brother, you just need to concentrate on attacking. ”

On the other side, Ricard made adjustments after a half-time observation.

"You did a good job in the first half, but we need to do more to get this tough piece down! I want you to play a game against Brook Lopez!" Rickard found a problem in both the video and the actual action just now, that is, Brooke is not as adept at passing the ball as Anjie when facing the bag.

Brook Lopez is a tall, sluggish low-post centre, and Mike Taylor's scoring streak at the start of the game has proven his slowness. Maybe he is strong in one-on-one defense, but in terms of overall defense, Brooke is not necessarily better than his younger brother Robin. You're going to give me this point to Tubruk and make him tired of it!" Rickard said everything he had to say in one go, and how much he could accomplish was up to the lads down there.

The second half kicked off with the impatient cheers of the fans, who once again fell into extreme frenzy and spared no effort to cheer for their team.

"The Iowa State Cyclones are really ready to go black and who would have thought that the Whirlwinds, who hadn't landed in the March Madness Tournament for 22 years, would now be able to draw with giants Stanford University after halftime. Coach Larry Myers must have thought he had picked a good draw when he first got the roster, but now he doesn't think so. As soon as the ESPN narrator finished, the camera gave Larry Myers a close-up of his face. The white-haired coach is now frowning, watching intently on the field.

Robin Lopez spared no effort to defend Anjie according to the coach's arrangement, and Anjie was so disturbed that he couldn't even get out of position. But it doesn't matter, it's not him on the pitch right now.

Mike Taylor had the ball, and this time the guy who came up to block him turned out to be Asarkin. This is a seemingly ordinary tactical combination, but many people are a little surprised when they look at it.

The Cyclones' high-level pick-and-roll has always been handled by Anjie, and the fact has proved that the pick-and-roll cooperation between Anjie and Mike Taylor is very efficient. But now, it's rare to see that slow, big white man mention high positions to block pick-and-rolls, has Angel been entangled by Robin Lopez to the point where he can't even block and pick-and-roll?

Brook Lopez was a little embarrassed, he didn't know whether he should follow Asakin to the top position. Although Asakin's mid-range shooting is not as accurate as Anjie's, it does not mean that there is no threat at all.

"Now the score is deadlocked, we can't let the opponent get any easy scoring chances!" Brook Lopez thought, and followed Asarkin out of the three-second zone.

Mike Taylor couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth when he saw Brooke Lopez come out. Robin, another center forward, is fighting with An Jie, and he has no mind to care about this side of the matter at all. This offensive can be said to be half complete.

Cruze immediately pulled his opposing player beyond the three-point line, while Anthony Ben kept running to get the defender's attention. Before you know it, the Whirlwinds have completely pulled out the offensive space for Mike Taylor. All the foreshadowing has been done, and now it's up to Mike Taylor to finish the offense.

Asakin blocked, Mike Taylor started up, and it was the same as before. Asarkin was already bigger than Anjie, so although the timing was a little worse, this pick-and-roll still managed to keep Mike Taylor's alignment out of the way.

When Brook Lopez saw his point guard lose his defensive position, he immediately moved sideways to switch to Mike Taylor. But as Ricard said, Brook Lopez is too slow to face a defender like Mike Taylor. Taylor used his speed to force an overtake and break through before Brooke could get in the way.

Robin noticed that the opposing player was coming to the basket, so he wanted to shake off Anjie's entangled arms with him, and then make up for the basket. But how could An Jie let Robin get rid of himself so easily? he secretly tugged at Robin's jersey, trying to slow him down to make up for the defense.

"Mike Taylor broke through all the way to the box!He's ready to make a layup!It's Robin!Robin, the block king of Stanford University, jumped with all his might to stop the attack!" ESPN's commentators were full of passion, but next to them, the Ames Channel 3 commentators were noticeably calmer.

Robin is a good player and Mike Taylor is not going to waste the opportunity that this guy has created for him. "Paul Philips was sure of the result before Taylor had even made a shot.

Sure enough, as Philips said, Robin almost covered the ball after being delayed by Anjie, but it was almost the same as a lot of results, and it couldn't be covered anyway. Mike Taylor's layup undoubtedly fell into the net, and while it looked like it was a solo solo by Mike Taylor, it was the result of a team effort by the Whirlwinds.

Brook Lopez can defend the center, but that doesn't mean he can defend the impact of the perimeter. Most perimeter players only need one step to get Brook Lopez off the ground, and Mike Taylor is no exception.

If Brook Lopez and Angel are still facing each other, the other players may be under more pressure against Robin's defense. Although Robin suffered a lot in one-on-one defense Anjie, he still has a lot of experience in dealing with outside players who dare to burst into the penalty area. But thanks to Coach Larry Myers, things are now reversed. Robin's hard work may make Anjie very uncomfortable, but Brooke is helpless in the face of the onslaught of outside players.

However, Myers knows that the real value of Brook Lopez is on the offensive end, and defense has never been what Brook Lopez lives by.

Brooke received a pass from a teammate in the penalty area, and the defender who appeared in front of him became the lanky Chinese again.

Brooke has always been confident in attack, and he had a slight advantage against the Chinese in the first half. However, this time he found that the defender was not the only one behind him, and Cruze also ran to the penalty area to surround him. Double Bag Clip!

"What are you going to do with Markle?" Larry Myers still trusts his shooting ability as a shooting guard, and the bag won't solve your defensive problems at all!

But the seasoned Myers overlooked a crucial thing, which was that Brook Lopez had to be able to pass the ball to Bruce Markle with a double pack. Otherwise, no matter how empty Markle's seat is, it will not help.

Faced with the entanglement of Anjie and Cruz, Brooke could only draw circles in the air with the ball, dodging the arms that stretched out towards the basketball. Brooke's vision was greatly disrupted, and he didn't show his composure in the face of the bag.

Brooke finally reluctantly threw the ball out, but it was so badly passed. Anthony Ben saw the clock and kicked off the ball midway through the pass.

The on-the-go attack followed by a mid-course interception is what the athletic Anthony Ben is good at. He's a defensive perimeter player and therefore doesn't play much on the offensive end, so Anthony Ben won't waste a single opportunity to put himself in the spotlight.

Ben's explosiveness was beyond anyone's reach, and he ran to the opposition half in a few steps and distanced himself from the Stanford defenders.

After a big step from the free-throw line, Anthony Ben took to the air. He raised the basketball high above his head with his right hand and dunked it down as it was getting closer to him.

"Tomahawk Split! Anthony Ben!

Seeing Anthony Ben dunk and Riccard swung his fist in satisfaction, defending and attacking at a time, Rickard could already see that his tactics were successful.

Brook Lopez is great, but he's still just a college player, and he still needs to improve and improve. But Ricard can't wait for you Brooke to practice before coming to fight, you can use whatever shortcomings Ricard has, he's not a picky eater.
