Chapter 35: Absolute Suppression
Manager Fagan said cautiously, even if he knew that the Cavaliers might not be able to trade this Chinese player at all, but at this time he had to follow LeBron. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
LeBron was very good at talking and didn't continue to say anything.
It's enough to let the team manager know what he means, and LeBron is reluctant to tear his face, even if he knows his place on the team.
This is also one of the reasons why the coach and manager of the team are willing to spoil LeBron, because LeBron is very face-saving and very good at being a person.
…………
After defeating Wake Forest University, the Trojans will face Michigan State University next.
If the last time they faced Wake Forest, the Trojans still had a lot of hope of winning, then against Michigan State University, the Trojans had little hope of winning.
The Michigan State Spartans are a strong team.
Maybe not as famous as North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, but the strength is undoubtedly strong, the team's head coach Tom Izzo has led Michigan State University for ten years, the team's development, the lineup is very mature, and there are many, many talented players in this university.
In 2000, Michigan State University won the NCAA championship.
That year, Michigan State University was joined by Zach Randolph and others.
And now the players in Michigan State include Shannon Brown, Morris Iger, Paul Davis and others, these people are undoubtedly not all different, and they are very strong.
It was very, very difficult for the Trojans to win against the Spartans.
But before the game, the Trojans were not discouraged, but had a high temperament.
"What are the Spartans, we have defeated Duke, will the Spartans be more powerful and more famous than Duke?" Nick Young's clamoring within the team was supported by a lot of people.
Sean was expressionless, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
The Trojans' victory over the Blue Devils Duke was a fluke, and there was no reference value at all to talk about that game.
Moreover, among the characteristics of the players given by the coach, Sean obviously felt that Michigan State University was stronger.
Be stronger in each position.
Michigan University plays team basketball, but not exactly team basketball, and sometimes uses the right tactical characteristics to bring out the characteristics of the players.
The Spartans had a very good coach who brought the Spartans into a group.
The teammate was high-spirited, and Sean couldn't bear to pour cold water.
But the only bad news is that in the game against Wake Forest University, Sean's body was consumed nine times out of ten, and there was not much chance to play in the next game.
The next game is the most positive battle of life and death.
Four days later, the Atlanta Hawks played the Spartans at home.
The names of the two teams are interesting, they are both taken from the war stories of ancient Greece, and the team songs are very similar, and even the team lineup is very similar.
Before the game, the atmosphere between the two teams was good.
But as soon as the game began, it was ferocious.
Michigan State University was the first to jump the ball, and the Spartans' center is called Paul Davidson, who is second only to Nydale in height, but this center's speed and rebounding are more than a little bit stronger than Niedale, and even Gabe's rebounding is not necessarily as good as this center.
Gabe's advantage is in his ability to protect the rim under the basket, Davidson's ability to protect the frame is not strong, but he is fierce in rushing for rebounds.
As soon as the game began, the tactics of playing from opposite sides were obvious.
Michigan State plays team basketball, and point guards don't have great vision and passing ability at all, but that's okay, Michigan State makes up for it with great running and tactical ability.
At the beginning of the game, Michigan University was constantly running to cover, and then shooting directly or attacking the basket.
Shannon Brown's first shot was a dunk, and the Trojans were caught off guard.
When the Trojans attacked, it was embarrassing.
Nick Young was completely unadvantaged against Shannon Brown, and was out of shape to be defended, while defending well enough at other positions.
Sean was okay against the point guard, with a height advantage, but his long-range shooting was not very sure, and in the opening three balls, the Trojans failed to attack.
7-0 down.
Before Coach John could call a timeout, Sean took the initiative to call a timeout.
Coach John called everyone together and started making adjustments.
"Match, pay attention to the coordination, Nick Young, block and cover, find a good open position to shoot decisively, Wren as a cover, Gabe, pay attention to the defense under the basket and rebounding."
"Sean, pay attention to control the situation and slowly attack the position."
Coach John said to almost everyone, the point is Sean, the team's metronome is Sean, you can't mess up at this time, you will lose if you mess up.
The game restarted, Sean dribbled across the half-court, took the initiative to delay the time, and then Nick Young blocked and dismantled, and Sean broke through to attract the help defense and passed to Rennes.
Wren met the defense and re-passed to Shaun, who was in position, and Sean passed again to Nick Young.
Nick Young shot the iron, Nydale pulled the basketball out, Paul Davis's rebounding was so strong and ferocious, Niedale couldn't catch the rebound at all.
On the perimeter, Sean grabbed the rebound, feintmed and then shook off a position to hit a mid-range shot.
The Trojans scored.
But this does not change the situation.
The Spartans attacked.
The five people were fast, running directly to the frontcourt, Shannon Brown was so fast that he couldn't die, and he took the ball and went straight to the basket to score a violent dunk.
Gabe didn't keep up at all, and Niedale was just past halftime.
The Spartans played fast breaks.
The Trojans are not strong, but they are definitely not weak, except for Rennes' obvious defensive flaws, the other positions are not so bad.
Michigan State is similar to the Trojans, the three-point shot is not good, so playing the fast break is the best way, and it is really down to the positional battle, and it is difficult to catch the shortcomings of the Trojans who are not fast enough to help defend under the basket.
When the fast attack started, Sean felt very uncomfortable.
Nick Young screamed, trying to follow.
But...... Sean slowly controlled the rhythm, not daring to speed up.
Several of the Michigan University players are very fast, and even the speed of the center is not comparable to Nidair's, so the Trojans can't defend it at all.
Not only has the difference not narrowed, but it is slowly widening.
By the time the second half had just begun, the two sides came off the bench, and another flaw in the Trojans came out, the lineup was too weak.
Michigan State University's bench is also very good, but it is relatively inexperienced, and the Trojans are directly stunned when they come on the bench.
Five minutes into the second half, the Trojans trailed by 15 points.
