Chapter 32: Who Is This?

As Kansas State's ace, Beasley has been the player who has been on the ball for almost the longest time in every game, and he's used to the opening of the game.

As soon as he held the ball and stood at the top of the three-point line, Beasley saw a flower in front of him, and a figure was already in front of him.

It was the nobody who had been staring at him before, and the other party's eyes clearly flashed with excitement and excitement, but Beasley's face was a disdainful smile.

"My opponent is not you? Look at the joke, of course you don't deserve to be my opponent! Don't think that getting some results in a weak league like the Ivy League will be on par with me! ”

Until now, his attention has never been on Plain, who is defending in front of him.

But the next moment, he paid the price for his contempt.

When Beasley habitually dribbled and was about to break through, Plain in front of him instantly pounced like a cheetah, pointed his finger on the basketball in Beasley's hand, and immediately poked the basketball out.

"What ?!!"

Beasley was taken aback and quickly turned around to chase the basketball, but there was a figure faster than him.

Lin!

As soon as Plain had the action, Jeremy Lin was already rushing to the frontcourt, grabbing the basketball before Beasley and holding the ball towards the empty basket.

"Don't think!"

Seeing that Jeremy Lin was about to score a layup, Beasley shouted, suddenly exerted force under his feet, and while jumping high, his palms covered the sky and the sun.

In response to this scene, Jeremy Lin was unhurried, changed his posture, took back the basketball that was about to come out of his hand, and then handed it behind him.

Plain, who followed up, immediately pulled up and slammed the basketball into the basket with a slam dunk.

At the beginning of the game, Plain gave his opponent a dismount with a steal.

Beasley's face darkened a little, and when he returned to the frontcourt, he immediately beckoned for the ball.

But as soon as he made a move, Plain leaned over, leaning in and waving his arms while leaning against Beasley, blocking Beasley's space to catch the ball.

Beasley used his physical advantage to play in the main position to receive a pass from his teammates.

At this point, he was close to the free throw line, and in the face of Plain's kraft-like defense, Beasley habitually used his back shot, squeezed two steps inside, and then bobbed and threw a step-back jumper.

However, these moves have long been recorded in Plain's notebook, and he knows very well what kind of offensive style Beasley likes to use against the defense in this position, so he didn't shake at all, stood firmly in place, and reached forward as soon as Beasley jumped.

In order to prevent him from losing his position and being broken by Beasley if he moved forward too early, Plain's follow-up speed was not fast and he couldn't catch up with the block, but Plain's hand was pinpointed towards Beasley's face.

Beasleyton, who was aiming, felt that it was dark in front of him, and a large swarthy hand had completely blocked his vision.

Blindfold your defense! Battier's fame stunt.

This may seem like a non-technical move, but it's not easy to do, as you have to go through your opponent's raised hands to cover their face with great precision, which requires a lot of distance.

At that moment, you have to judge the distance, if you are too far forward, it is easy to hit the opponent's face, and if you are left and right, you will touch the opponent's shooting arm, no matter which point will constitute a defensive foul, and if you move a little slowly about this problem, you may not be able to cover the opponent's shooting vision.

Fast, accurate and ruthless is the essence of this move, and if you don't know your opponent very well, even if you move sensitively, it is difficult to completely block the line of sight.

Plain obviously did a particularly good job, Beasley's vision was completely obscured, and he was already jumping up and down, even if he couldn't see the basket, he had to bite the bullet.

"Bang!"

The basketball slammed into the hoop and bounced off before being taken down by a Harvard player in the slot and handed to Jeremy Lin.

"Damn it! Who is this guy? ”

With a scolding spell, Beasley glared at Plain and then turned back in annoyance.

And in the nearest row of the stadium audience, the eyes of many scouts lit up a little.

Unlike regular leagues, the NCAA tournament will not only attract a large number of spectators, but also a large number of NBA scouts.

Because the vast majority of new blood in the NBA is looking for these players who participate in the tournament, such as Beasley in Kansas, although it has long been determined that Beasley is a strong contender for the NBA's top pick, but his performance in every game will also redefine his value.

In this game, scouts focused on Beasley and Jeremy Lin, two aces from their respective teams who have the potential to join the NBA, with the only question being how they are picked.

And now, a new face suddenly appeared in front of them.

Plain.

As Harvard's No. 2 scorer, Plain's name is actually familiar to many people, but most scouts will be attracted by Jeremy Lin, who dominates the court at both offensive and defensive ends after watching Harvard's games, and ignore Plain, who does dirty work on the inside.

Even if some scouts have determined that Plaine has what it takes to make it to the NBA, it is generally believed that the most that is a bench player is to do some dirty work of getting a rebound and fouling in a position.

The physical confrontation ability is slightly poor, the efficiency of grabbing rebounds in the inside card position is not high, and the height of 2.06 meters has no advantage on the inside, it is easy to be eaten by the big man inside, although the sense of assistance defense is good, but due to the slightly poor speed, it may be difficult to keep up with the top guards in the NBA.

These shortcomings have not been shown in the Ivy League league, but it only takes a few minutes of play for experienced scouts to draw these conclusions.

But now, with two consecutive defenses, Plaine's defense of Beasley has surprised them a little.

And in the next few minutes, Plain followed Beasley like a kraft candy, every time Beasley caught the ball, it would take a lot of effort, and it was often difficult to break through to score, and the mid-to-long-range shots would also be caused by Plain's unhesitating blindfolding action, resulting in a big loss of accuracy.

In the first five minutes, Beasley shot 0-of-6 and scored two points on a single defensive foul free throw.

The team's ace Beasley's offense was stymied, and Kansas State's overall offensive rhythm was affected.

Correspondingly, Jeremy Lin appeared to be at ease in the face of Kansas State's targeted defense.

The head coach at Kansas State University has clearly worked hard, choosing to keep his players in frequent packs and trying to drain Lin's stamina with a lot of physical contact.

It is a well-known fact that Asians are generally weaker than blacks and whites.

It's a pity that Jeremy Lin's situation is different, he is open.
