And no matter how Coach Mike burns his brain at home, the coach of the Kentucky Wildcats, who belongs to the Southern Division, is also watching the video of the Wake Forest University team at this time, and it is obvious that in his eyes, the threat of the next round opponent North Carolina Tar Heels is far less than that of Wake Forest, which will win in the Eastern Conference, maybe this is confidence. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info However, in terms of team strength, the gap between the two teams is really not big, and of course it is not small.

Since last year's semi-finals, one of the team's offensive trios, Dennard. Williams has left the team, and he hasn't had a good time on the big stage of the NBA lately. Lynch was drafted by the Lakers last summer with the 12th place in the first round, and his debut season can only be described as "okay", and now the only remaining three cores on the team are center Eric. Montrose alone, except for the center, their main group this year is either last year's rotation group, or this year's new newcomers, to put it mildly.

In contrast, Rick. Pitino's life was much easier: the breakthrough point guard who grew to 188 cm tall - Sean. Woods, who is 197 cm tall and not very fast, but has a stable mid-range shot by Jamal. Marshburn, Jr. is a former substitute for Marshburn - Morrison. Anders, in terms of style, the difference between the two seems to be a poor man's version of him, and the big front is 208 cm tall Aminu, who likes jump shots and doesn't like confrontation. Timberlake, and finally Phil, who is already a little taller in the fourth grade. De Haus (201--205). In fact, this main lineup can last for two years in addition to the guard line, and the other three points are time to find people, Phil, who is already in the fourth grade, does not talk about him, and the former "soft egg" Aminu and "Mashburn spare tire" Morrison are also in the third grade, and they will play for another year.

Alas, it's going to be poaching again! This is, after watching the video again, getting up and moving his body. Pitino's thoughts.

After moving his somewhat stiff body after sitting for a long time, Coach Rick sank his mind into the world of the video again, and he also focused on the second quarter - about the battle of the Wake Forest rotation group, and apparently he and Mike thought of it together, and the persimmon had to be soft.

Looking at it, Rick adjusted the picture to a quarter rate, at this time the shot in the video is Mitsui borrowing Ruben to cover to get rid of the defender and run out of the gap, and then he received a back pass from Iverson with a general quality, and at the same time receiving the ball, Mitsui opened a trace of shooting with a step-back step and shot a decisive shot, Mitsui has a subtle small adjustment between the step-back step and the shot, which Rick found out in the previous few views, and this extremely short adjustment will only appear when Iverson breaks through the ball, Of course, he also made this kind of adjustment when the other three teammates on the court passed the ball, but only when Yamada Tadashi passed the ball with his back, or should I say that he didn't look at the pass, Mitsui received the ball and shot, as if he had never made adjustments......

Thinking back on all this, Wildcats coach Rick couldn't help but be impressed by Yamada's passing skills, after all, a person has practiced his individual offense and passing skills to such an extent, how outstanding his basketball talent should be? Not to mention that Yamada Tada's age at this time is still a senior in high school according to American standards! In comparison, Iverson, who has no baskets and can only play sudden points, is much easier to deal with.

"If we are on the right side in the semi-finals, do we have to use the 'Jordan's Rule' to get the other side to him?!"

“ohmygod！” As soon as he thought of this, Coach Rick couldn't help but make a famous complaint.

The day of the game is slowly coming in the brains of the coaches of other teams.

Thursday, 3/24/94.

Vic Forest Devils Deacons vs. Duke Blue Devils at Cameron Arena.

Speaking of Cameron Arena, he built it in January 1940 at a cost of $400,000. It was renamed Cameron Arena in January 1972. Initially, the arena could accommodate 8,800 people, but interestingly, this month, after a partial renovation to remove some of the standing spaces in the stadium, the stadium capacity was increased to 9,314 people. Maybe they did this to strengthen their home advantage, but unfortunately, even so, the remodeled Cameron Arena is still not as good as Wake Forest's home stadium - Lawrence. Joel Veterans Memorial Gymnasium, the latter has a capacity limit of 14,600 people, is it considered 0.5 kills? Speaking of double killing, Wake Forest and Duke still had a grudge in the early years.

In 1906, Wilbull, then the athletic director of Trinity College. Calder brought basketball to Trinity College, and the team's first game in history was played against Wake Forest, and the final score was 10:24, and Wake Forest University won... Although, almost a century has passed, which can be regarded as an old rotten grain, but recently this old account has become a bit more and more intense, and it is obvious that the economic downturn has made some bigwigs rack their brains and feet, and I don't know if there is a certain Jew behind it.

In addition, NBA scouts and even sports media must be there for such a high-profile game, so today's scene is quite big, of course, as the NCAA's most terrifying devil's home field, the enthusiastic cheers of the fans are naturally indispensable.

Before the start of the game, many fans in the stands began to zoom in.

"Hey! Yellow-skinned monkeys, are you here to put on a show to eat bananas? ”

"Talk about you! That's right, number 5! I heard that you won our Duke in a sneak attack? It's simply the world's number one joke, say! What tricks did you use? ”

"What the previous brother said was so right, the 'little boy' and 'little fat man' back then were delicious, right?"

“......”

Okay, the rest of the content is too hot, so let's skip it first.

In the face of such a devil's home field, Mitsui's handsome face, which is still thoughtful, is already blue, and the three girls who came with the team are also ugly, but fortunately, Mitsui didn't come with him today, otherwise there would be another one more angry. In the face of this somewhat surging "devil" fans, the NBA scouts and media people who were also present kept their mouths shut, lest they would be beaten by the crowd for a while, and even the technical desk and referee team who were preparing for the game on the sidelines were also nervous to communicate. Before the game even started, the atmosphere was already stirring up, and I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

The Wake Forest players, who have warmed up in this steamer-like stadium, are gradually beginning to get used to this special away atmosphere, remembering that in the last regular season, their welcome was not so warm, and I don't know if they have the same temperament as a certain NBA team - like a turtle in the regular season and fierce like a bear in the playoffs.

Not to mention the noise from the sidelines, the Wake Forest players who returned to the rest area gathered around Coach Dave to listen to his pre-match set-up.

Dave looked at Duncan and Rogers, "Tim, you start with pick-and-roll, pick up the opportunity to go down after the high screen, and decide when to attack." ”

"Okay." Obviously, Duncan was slightly surprised by this arrangement, and the sharp-eyed Yamada Tadashi even noticed that Duncan's cute big eyes widened slightly, although he was surprised, he still nodded quickly.

In fact, Duncan thought that he would play a triangle attack today, after all, the team has a lot of advantages on the inside. Usually, Billups passes the ball to Jackson and then cuts to the bottom corner from the inside, or Billups passes the ball to Jackson, Duncan pulls out himself to the high post to swim in response, Jackson goes to the low post with his back, and Rodgers runs to the bottom corner empty-handed to form a triangle. I don't want to, the coach suddenly said: Don't play like this today.

Be... Because of Coach Mike?

Duncan, who was nodding yes, couldn't help but think like this in his heart.

At this time, Coach Dave didn't know that his love would turn like this, and then Dave looked at Rodgers and Stephen.

"Stephen is the main attack, if you are on the opposite side, you pass to Duncan in the high post, and then in the low post..."

After some arrangement, the Wake Forest players already understood what the coach was thinking, and the first five tigers who understood the coach's intentions glanced at each other.

Seeing this, Dave called the starting five to the sidelines, and finally emphasized defense.

"That's basically it on the offensive end, on the defensive end I ask you to press all over the court and force them to play fast, but in our offensive rounds, you have to control the pace of the game and play steadily, Billups, you are the most important."

"Understood."
