Chapter Thirty-Six: Do You Want to Prevent Him from Death?

From the very beginning, Harvard took the initiative in the game.

This is the consistent style of Wang Xiao's team, and in the Ivy League, Harvard will use a suffocating defense to press opponents to gain an advantage from the start.

The same was true in the last round of 64 against Kansas State University, and today is no exception.

Harvard's oppressive defense made everyone at Davidson College, including Curry, very uncomfortable.

Wang Xiao's defensive tactics were born in the NBA, and under the vigorous cultivation of the training system, his players' defensive abilities are already quite good, coupled with the presence of Pryne on the inside and Jeremy Lin on the outside, so that Harvard's overall defensive tactics are self-contained, and it is absolutely impossible to easily tear such a defense without a particularly sharp knife.

Five minutes into the game, the Davidson College coach called a timeout.

At this time, the score of the two sides was 14:5, and for the entire five minutes, Davidson College scored only five points, an average of one point per minute.

This is Davidson College, which focuses on offense, and the whole team is a team that shoots and scores!

During the timeout, the head coach of Davidson College held the tactical board, looked at his players, opened his mouth but failed to say any tactical advice.

Harvard's tactics are actually very simple, just a 1-on-1 single defense, supplemented by tacit cooperation when defending and blocking.

No matter what kind of tactics are arranged, as long as you can't escape the circle of 1-on-1 single defense, there is no way to mention it.

Davidson College has several sets of off-ball running tactics designed specifically for Curry, but Wang Xiao and Jack have already studied and arranged defensive strategies from Davidson College game videos.

So Curry tried a few runs just now, but all of them were to no avail.

Looking at the few players who looked at him, the head coach of Davidson Academy struggled for a few tenths of a second, and then he looked at Curry very seriously.

"Stephen, the situation is very unfavorable for us right now, you should be able to see that the opponent has made a special arrangement for us, and the running tactics that have been practiced before should be useless."

Curry nodded, panting slightly, and the alignment with Jeremy Lin put him under a lot of pressure, the opponent was not only faster than him, but also stronger than him, and the opponent's defensive experience was also quite sophisticated, and he didn't eat his poor-paced dribbling at all.

"What are we going to do? Instructor? ”

"The other party's intention is obvious, that is, they want to use 1v1 to limit you." The head coach of Davidson College took a deep breath. "So, if you want to break this shackle, there is only one way...... You beat the opposing point guard in 1v1! ”

"Only if the opponent can't use the single defense to kill you, then you can tear through the opponent's defense and get more chances to score! Stephen, you need to defeat that kid! ”

……

"How?"

On the other side, Wang Xiao asked Jeremy Lin.

Jeremy Lin nodded vigorously, "Coach, that guy is really difficult to deal with, he is the toughest opponent I've ever encountered." ”

"Is that difficult? I'm afraid you won't say that when you meet Ross Westbrook. ”

Wang Xiao couldn't help laughing.

Curry's threat comes from the three-point shot, and as long as he locks his three-pointer, even if he is allowed to burst inside, the lethality is limited.

But it's not the same with Ross and Westbrook, who are true masters of breakthroughs.

Although Jeremy Lin's speed is not slow, it is still slightly inferior to these two people.

What's more, the defenders have a disadvantage over the offensive players, and many times you know that the opponent is going to break through from that side, but you don't have time to stop the opponent.

Jeremy Lin can prevent Curry from dying, but he can't prevent those two people from dying...... What's more, Curry is not so easy to be prevented from dying!

As the greatest three-point shooter of the future, there is nothing he can do if he is guarded by others, how can he shoot a terrifying 400 three-pointers in one season?

"You have to be careful, that guy will definitely find a way to launch an onslaught, and you may not be able to stop it." Wang Xiao thought for a while, and then said: "If you find that you really can't stop the other party's touch, you ......."

After the timeout, the two sides resumed the court, and Jeremy Lin was surprised to find that Curry immediately launched an onslaught against him.

After a quick dribble from the outside, Curry immediately took a step back and shot one step away from the three-point line.

Jeremy Lin was shocked and immediately rushed forward to try to block it.

But Curry's shot was extremely fast, and Jeremy Lin found that he couldn't catch up with the block basketball at all!

This is the first time he has shot three points when facing Curry, and he didn't expect the opponent to shoot so fast!

"Box!!"

The basketball arced across the sky and slammed into the hoop.

Jeremy Lin's block, while not successful, clearly interfered with Curry as well.

A failed shot didn't hold Curry back, and soon he was coming again.

This time, he took advantage of his teammates' pick-and-rolls to shoot directly behind his teammates' backs, and this time also one step away from the three-point line.

"Box!"

Basketball hits iron again.

But Wang Xiao's heart sank slightly.

Curry's appearance at this time is exactly the state he fears the most......

Sure enough, Curry immediately made a comeback.

After handing the ball to his teammates, Curry made a big circle on the inside and finally ran to the bottom left corner, although Jeremy Lin immediately followed and reached out in time to interfere, but Curry still resolutely caught the ball and shot.

The basketball took off just a few centimeters from Jeremy Lin's fingertips and flew towards the basket.

"Brush!"

This time, the basketball is finally in!

β€œYES!”

Curry waved his arm violently, and the demonstrator seemed to look at Jeremy Lin.

"Well done!"

The Davidson College coach, the substitutes around him, and even the fans and students who came to cheer them on were cheering loudly.

Although it was only a three-pointer, this three-point shot against Jeremy Lin meant that the counterattack was about to start!

Just because you want to stop our trump card too? How can it be?

When everyone looked at Jeremy Lin in high spirits, the other party's action made the smile on the face of the coach of Davidson College instantly freeze.

Jeremy Lin didn't even look at Curry, who celebrated the three-point shooting, at the moment when the opponent shot, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately ran towards the bottom line, after the basketball entered the net, he picked up the basketball and exited the bottom line, and then threw the basketball in his hand like throwing a discus!

The basketball roared out, crossed half the court in an instant, and appeared in Plain's hand with incredible precision the next moment.

At this time, people were shocked to find that they didn't know when, Plain had appeared outside the three-point line in the backcourt.

Facing the basket of an opponent without defense, Plain from outside the three-point line made a shot.

Raising his hand, aiming, shooting, Plain's shooting speed is very slow, and it is not comparable to the electric Curry, but the basketball also falls into the basket accurately, and the point difference that has just narrowed a little bit instantly returns to its original position.

Wang Xiao, who was standing on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, had a twinkle in his eyes.

"Of course I know that defense alone can't be prevented, since I can't defend it, then use offense to defeat you!"
