Chapter 157: Miracle 3D Player
There aren't as many three-point shooters in the NCAA as there are in the NBA, and many talented players have not yet been stereotyped and still rely on driving layups to score, so NCAA teams are also using joint defense more frequently to consolidate interior defense. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info at this time, the Blue Devils put on a 3-2 joint defensive formation. Liu Chuan broke through with the dribble, and in the face of the lone pressure from a defender, he slowed down slightly and made a shaky feint after changing hands under his crotch, changing direction and starting again. The defenders were completely deceived by him, and Liu Chuan broke through and hit a pull-up jump shot in front of the interior player. 2-0, Michigan took the lead.
"It seems that Duke is still more afraid of Mao's breakthrough ability, and let the ace Battier keep an eye on Mao." Michigan head coach Mr. Burke thought to himself: "Then continue to let Liu disrupt their formation, we have two cores." ”
The Duke guard tried to pass to Battier, but a figure was as fast as the wind and grabbed the front to cut the ball off.
It was Zebei, who was known for his speed when he was CHBL and was known as the first person in high school basketball in China. He didn't give Duke a chance at all after the steal, and hit a layup under the basket.
The goal was scored, but Ke Zebei was shocked into a cold sweat, it turned out that the moment he shot, Battier's long arm also arrived. Zebei's layup grazed Battier's hand and barely got into the basket.
"You're fast, and someone else has been blocked by me." Battier smiled as if the ball had nothing to do with him.
"You're not slow!" Zebei has been studying in the United States for almost 3 years, and his English has improved a lot in the past three years, and he has no problem in daily conversations.
This time Joe. Battier just ran past halftime and turned around to receive the ball, got the ball and turned around to look at Zebei, and saw that the opponent was defending in front of the three-point line and raised his hand directly to shoot.
"O my God! He's just passed the middle circle! "Zebei looked stupid.
The shot drew an unusually high parabola and hollowed into the net, 4:3.
"What kind of shot is this? There aren't many people in the NBA who have such a strong ability, right? Coach Burke was stunned: "Has Battier ever thrown this kind of ball before?" ”
The assistant coach said tremblingly: "According to our intelligence, he has made a shot in training, but he has never made such a hasty shot in the game. ”
"Idiot, is this sloppy? Obviously very confident to vote! Burke rebuked angrily: "It's clear that they have hidden their strength before, and they plan to kill us as a blockbuster!" ”
Zebei wanted the ball, but Liu Chuan ignored him at all, and directly hit the basket and hit the basket.
"Hey, don't be so lonely, okay?" Zebei complained.
"The coach's instructions, don't fight Battier head-on." Liu Chuan said coldly.
Just as Zebei was complaining, Battier had already passed him with the ball, and Zebei hurriedly chased after him. He was extremely fast, but he caught up with his opponent in two or three steps. But Battier pulled it up again and threw it, and the ball was tied 6-6!
"Not only is the range super long, but his shooting speed is also very fast, and the hit rate is also extremely high!" Zebei was taken aback, and only then did he thoroughly understand the strength of his opponent.
"Worthy of a miracle shooter - Joe. Battier. Coach Burke exclaimed: "Sure enough, even Zebei is not his opponent?" ”
Mao Zebei naturally would not give in, he finally got the ball, regardless of Liu Chuan, who stretched out his hand to card out of the position, insisted on playing a personal singles. But Battier clings to him, and his usual vaunted ball skills and passing speed are not enough to shake off the fearsome defender.
Skillfully open! Zebei turned to his back to hold the ball, and the dream footsteps appeared at his feet. Left foot dotted and right ankle twisted, striding back and forth, it seemed that he could change direction at any time to break through and turn around at any time to jump, and finally he clicked Battier slightly, and killed it with an arrow.
But Battier was enough to delay his singles, and Duke's center was in place. Zebei was unequivocal and shot a high shot to the basket. He worked the technology and made a name for himself in high school.
But when he shot this time, a big hand suddenly blocked his face, completely blocking his vision of shooting! Zebei made a slight error in judging the position of the basket when he threw his shot, and the ball bounced out of the frame!
Liu Chuan jumped high to grab the ball before Duke's two-meter-one tall center and pressed the ball into the basket!
"Don't do it!" He said coldly to Zebei.
Zebei's face stiffened when he heard this. But he is arrogant, how can he swallow this breath, but he still wants to find a chance to fight with Battier.
But the 201cm Battier still seized the opportunity and took advantage of the height difference to shoot a three-pointer, and still scored! Zebei, who is 191cm tall, is beyond the reach of the whip.
The Wolverines requested a timeout.
"Mao, you are the trump card of our defense, why are you so distracted!" Coach Burke was not satisfied with Zebei's performance: "For a superstar like Joe, you have to stick to him, and you can't give him a chance to start and shoot. You're so fast, you're going to be able to do it! Also, don't just think about going head-to-head with him and playing our team basketball! ”
"I see!" Zebei slowly calmed down and realized that he was too competitive.
"Attack with Liu as the core to fight!"
"Yes!" Liu Chuan replied succinctly.
Although Zebei was not convinced, he still obediently obeyed the coach's instructions. In the NCAA, few players dare to lose their temper with their coaches. If you are labeled as a "problem player" or "locker room bomb", the draft market will plummet.
Liu Chuan observed the movement of his teammates while controlling the ball, and suddenly made a long pass to the ground, which was accurately handed over to Milosevic, who was in the air. The tall Serb lifts the ball up a lot taller than the Duke center, and can put the ball in the basket with a slight lift of his hand as he moves forward.
But the ball that probed for the object was still prevented. Battier, who was originally guarding on the left flank, anticipated Liu Chuan's pass, he ran to the middle and flew up, and slapped the ball from behind Milosevic!
"Oh God!" Even Embiid, the TV announcer, couldn't stand it anymore, and he slapped the table and shouted, "Battier is crazy today." ”
Coach Burke jumped up from his chair and opened his mouth wide with his head in his hands, as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
The replay footage was broadcast on the big screen, and the moment Liu Chuan passed the ball, Battier was already running back. As soon as Milosevic raised his hand to catch the ball, Battier was already jumping in the air and sealing his hand on the Serb's head. It was as if Milosevic had delivered the ball to him, and it was a very clean block!
Burke paused for a long time before slowly recovering from the shock and concluded: "Battier doesn't just have a body, his prediction ability is terrifying!" I can't believe he's only a sophomore and he's definitely at the top level of defense in the NBA! ”
