Chapter Ninety-Seven: Coordination and Talent
"Today's game was unexpected, everybody was fighting hard, it was full of physicalities, but the ball couldn't go into the frame, I'm curious, Brandy, have you ever been in that situation?" During the pause, Danny, ESPN's commentator, took a breath and asked his new partner.
"This happens a lot on the basketball court, and in a game where there are a lot of chances, both sides have to put all their energy into it, and it's very confrontational, which sends us a signal that we are determined to win! That's right! The charm of basketball is here, it can contag our emotions, and this game is like that, it's amazing! Brandi analyzed carefully.
"That's what I think, Connecticut and St. Joseph's are a different way of playing." Danny said so, but he roared in his heart, opening his eyes and talking nonsense, he didn't score a single ball, what a wonderful hair!
In fact, what Brandi is talking about is the charm of competition, the fighting atmosphere and the fighting spirit, which can spread to the depths of people's hearts and resonate with people. Danny is talking about the surface level of a game, scoring or not scoring! Good looking and not looking! The scene is cool or not! People are not enthusiastic! Because he didn't participate in this game at all, he was just a clever commentator, and he was the one who made the game clear and clear, and it was he who could increase the ratings. As for the competition? Who wins and who loses? Does it matter? He is not one of the alumni of either university, and he has no interest in either team. And he has broadcast such games live many times, and he has seen a lot of big scenes! There is no longer that passion and belief, for him, basketball, just the guy who makes him eat.
"St. Joseph's three-pointers are their shortcoming, they can't tear apart the Constanta defense at all, there is not much space under the basket at all, and it is difficult for a team that cannot break through effectively. They're now relying solely on Kyle and Smith's pick-and-rolls, but as the game progresses, the effectiveness will only get worse. I'm worried about them. Danny continued his analysis. But I have to commend St. Joseph for their toughness, tacit coordination, and aggressiveness, and Connecticut had nothing to do with it. Yes! Kangda's talent is very good, but they don't have much strategic cooperation, and the game is disorganized, and it looks like an infinite bullfight. However, Jim was right about one thing, and that was that the Twin Towers with Villanueva had a natural suppression of St. Joseph. ”
"Why? The reason why St. Joseph's three points are not stable at all? ”
'It's only part of it, St Joseph are good at positional battles, they are a slow-paced team. Why? Don't you see? With the exception of Kyle, everyone else was heavily running, more than a beat slower than Kyle, and Villanueva seemed nimble more than them. That's why, talent! ”
"St. Joseph is not as bad as you say, man! The team that can get to this point, you actually say that they have no talent, I don't agree. ”
"Of course! Larry is very accurate with threes, which is also talent, and he is physical, but he has a poor offensive ability with the ball, and Martin's speed is average in college, who else? Smith? Kelly? Come on! ”
"So what do you think they got to this point for? Luck? Or is it, as you say, that they have an unrivaled chemistry with each other? That's all? ”
"Because they have Kyle, Kyle Lowry!"
"Wow! It's surprising, you think Kyle is already a dominant figure? ”
"At least that's the case in the college league."
"I can't believe it! But for now, he didn't show any dominance. Yes! I know he's made history with a super quadruple-double, he's been incredibly good in the Big East League, he's a great guy, but he's still a long way from dominance. As far as I know, only the University of Utah's Boggart is dominant. ”
"Well, Boggart is really unique, but Kyle is not bad. It's not just about the stats, it's about the performance on the pitch, the importance of being on the team, being able to take the team to a different level, the impact of the game, I think Kyle has it. ”
"Alright! With that out of the way, let's take a look at the adjustments made by both sides after the pause. The game restarted, and Danny stopped discussing the pointless conversations with Brandi.
Yale's possession of the ball, Kyle's possession, or blocking with Herbert Smith is now the only effective offensive means for St. Joseph. After breaking in, Connecticut all shrank, and it seemed that it was determined to break through. Kyle was helpless and jumped to pass the ball to Larry on the weak side. Villanueva quickly pounced, and Larry adjusted a little back, shook Villanueva away, and suddenly took a steady shot. Finally a goal!
Rudy came back to feint, and then next to Martin turned around and broke through, and a mid-air hand-to-hand layup also went in!
Both sides broke the ice, and the fans were happy to see it. But apparently, they rejoiced early!
The rest of the game was played one after the other, and the scoring was like constipation, intermittent and dull. It doesn't matter if the game is good or not, the fans just need to win, but for a live broadcast, it's a disaster.
With three minutes left before half-time, the score was 16:19, St. Joseph trailed by three points, and Matley called a timeout, and he wanted to seek a change, replacing Kelly, and going up to Will, a big four, and a small lineup, and he took advantage of this time to try it.
Jim didn't say anything about such an important game, and he believed that the strongest people were the most important.
The game started again, and Ransomware Will possessed the ball past half the court, and Kyle went to run, which was an effective way to save energy. The four were interspersed with runs, with Smith in the middle to get the ball. Connecticut went to follow the defense at the beginning, but saw Smith slowly enter the penalty area like a waxy crawler, Rudy went up to force the grab, Smith passed the ball to Kyle who cut in, Boone under the basket opened his hand to make up the defense, Villanueva also came to block, Kyle arrived in the penalty area and jumped to shoot, Villanueva and Boone followed forward, fake the real pass, Kyle hit the ground and passed to Larry who ran to the weak side, Larry made a three-point shot, hit!
Tie!
"Good positioning, Kyle's deterrent is still undiminished. Connecticut didn't panic in the slightest, running methodically, and Chels gave the ball to Rudy in the half! At this time, I think Kangda needs more running and cooperating, and playing more blocks and dismantles, so that the success rate will be higher... Wow! What happened? Kyle steals Rudy's pass? Kyle is so fast, Rudy is not slow, this is Kyle's specialty, jumping against Rudy, the ball is passed to the other side! Air relay, blackmail Will! It's a backup point guard, and St. Joseph still has a talented player, and this guy is very fast. Danny narrated from the sidelines, seeing Kyle steal and yelling.
"St. Joseph's changed lineup made a difference, catching Connecticut off off guard with speed. Lelegion Will's physical talent, which I am also very optimistic about, flies really high. Brandi chimed in!
