Chapter Twenty-Seven: The First Battle!
The NCAA is in full swing, the war within the league has begun, and the Marvel Team will face the challenge of the Wildcats today.
Their match this time against the Villanova University Wildcats, a strong team in the Big East League, had good results last year, but did not go far, a little regrettable, this year is ready to go crazy, and to reach the NCAA championship.
They will definitely need a perfect start to the season to deliver on their pre-season vows, so this is definitely an extremely tough one.
Li Qian also knows a little about this pair, and with the guidance of his teammates, he probably knows the current situation.
The game is about to start, the players come to the court to warm up, Li Qian is not very used to the NCAA court, and the rules of the game.
The NCAA uses two halves of 20 minutes each, with a 15-minute halftime, 5 minutes of extra time and a 1-minute break in the event of overtime.
And the NCAA offensive time is also different from other leagues, he has 35 seconds of offensive time, 10 half-time rules.
The race is finally about to begin!
Georgetown University Marvel Team starter: No. 13 point guard Axey. No. 3 scoring guard - Li Qian. No. 18 small forward - Larry Will. No. 22 power forward - Hall.
Center No. 9 - Stephen.
Villanova Wildcats starter: No. 5 point guard - Odyssey. No. 17 shooting guard - Carvin. No. 8 small forward - Joey. No. 10 power forward - Arvid. Center No. 55 - Juliet.
The game starts and the referee kicks off!
Li Qian looked at the basketball jumping high and knew that he was about to start the NCAA voyage, and now there were only two choices, either forward or backward!
When the Marvel team got the ball, they knew that they were mainly playing center, so after getting the ball, it was quickly handed over to Stephen on the inside.
Stephen is one of the most well-rounded players in the NCAA in terms of movement speed and technique.
He leaned on Juliet's body with the ball, his arm span was excellent, he dangled a shot, and without hesitation, hooked his hand!
The ball goes into the net!
2:0
The first ball was still very impressive, and Stephen happily came over to high-five his teammates.
Odyssey has a top-notch vision of the big picture and passing awareness, and has a bit of a Nash feeling, and people call him Nash.
He gesticulated, and the tactics quickly ran up, with Calvin coming up to answer and Joey blocking the pick-and-roll.
Kavin found the space and quickly went down to the penalty area, where Stephen was already on his to.
But Calvin was extremely fast and only had the basket in his heart, and Stephen had no choice but to receive a foul to stop Kavin's offense.
For five or six minutes in the first half, the two teams played in a decent way, and the scores went back and forth, alternating between them, and it was really drowsy like that.
Li Qianqian has also won three points once through countless runs in the past few minutes, and the empty three points are still very easy for Li Qian.
The game has just begun, and the two teams are not fully opened, so it is inevitable that there will be some restrictions.
Time passed slowly, and everyone gradually opened up, and Carvin was already playing crazy, and the speed of the exclamation team was obviously not keeping up with the rhythm.
was attacked a few times by a few waves, and the Odyssey passed for a few seconds in a row, which further fueled the momentum of the Wildcats.
What you want to play is momentum, and when the momentum is up, you can't stop it, and that's what the Wildcats are all about.
Soon the point difference was widened, and it was amazed that only Li Qian and Larry Ville were fast in the team, and the other players couldn't keep up.
John called a timeout.
"We have to keep the rhythm down, play positional attacks, give Li Qian more blocks and dismantles, and let him score three points." Li Qian's only eye-catching shot is only three-point shots, and the exclamation team is interested in Li Qian's three-point shot, and his defensive ability is also qualified, but his body has not fundamentally improved.
The Wildcats are getting more and more aggressive, but the Marvel team does everything they can to slow down the tempo and fight positional battles.
After two or three minutes of controlled tempo, the Wildcats were dragged down, and the point difference became smaller and smaller, of course, and now it was still Stephen.
Li Qian felt that it was inevitable to play like this, and wanted to attack by himself, but in terms of tactical position, he was never as good as Stephen, and the whole team was built around it.
And he, in order to create trouble on the outside, expand the opponent's defensive range, and open up space for the inside.
Of course, it's not completely without the ball, it's just a lot less comparatively.
Now Stephen has scored a pair-high 16 points on 8-of-10 shooting, and Li Qian has 5 points and 2 assists.
Throughout the first half, he played decently, methodically, and even step by step.
The Wildcats are full of firepower, not only with strong outside firepower, but also with strong inside deterrence.
Li Qian wants to show himself very much, but in the NCAA stage, there are too many talented players, relatively speaking, he needs to work harder to get and get good data in order to get skills in the system and grab his own ability.
He wanted to grab some stats in the second half and increase his points.
The second half began, and after the trimmings, the Wildcats forced the rhythm to be up.
"Hey, the yellow-skinned one, yes, he can actually hit the main force, but that's it." Kavin looked at Li Qian, not a compliment or a disparagement, and said, "However, the exclamation team is no longer the same as before. ”
"I took your persuasion, and if you don't have the end, don't you still know the result?" Under normal circumstances, Li Qian never bows his head and endures, and the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes.
"Then I'll take a look, too." Carvin is one of the better blacks to get along with, without much racism, which gives him a danger.
"Then try." Li Qian also smiled back, and they knew each other.
The majority of the audience in the arena were Georgetown University students, and a small number were Wildcats fans.
The performance on the field was too dazzling, and there was a cheering sound, without much passion.
Li Qian was able to cope with the NCAA court with ease through half-court adaptation.
Tactical runs are handy and there is plenty of time.
Soon, Li Qian hit two three-pointers one after another!
Directly pulled the score back.
48:39!
The exclamation team is still 9 points behind, and Li Qian's hand is getting better and better.
His teammates also fed the ball, and Li hit another three-pointer in the next round!
Hit three three-pointers in a row!
The fans in the stadium looked at Li Qian with incredible eyes, the yellow-skinned player who had just appeared on the NCAA court, and actually used three consecutive three-pointers to renew the life of the Marvel team.
"Yes, boy, I'm getting more and more interested in playing against you." Calvin clapped his hands and beckoned him to come over.
"Then try and see who can stop whom?" Although Li Qian was as arrogant as ever, he was obviously much less arrogant.
"Hey, man, good job." Odyssey and the others ran over to high-five Li Qian, and did not forget to encourage Li Qian.
John kept dancing on the sidelines, these three points were too long.
"Man, defend me." Carvin held the ball specifically to find Li Qian, and Li Qian also backed down.
"Then I'm going to start guarding!" Li Qian said excitedly to Kavin.
"It's a real delight." Carvin was very happy to think about it.
Syllable!!
Caps?!
Li Qian actually blocked on the stage of the NCAA, or Carvin!
And that's enough for him to get a foothold, it's just that it's not enough.
