Chapter 21: Find a Reason to Defeat Duke! (Ask for a recommendation ticket!!) )
The match between Duke University and the University of Washington was considered a key battle before the game, but it was not a strong conversation.
The reason for the focus is not because of the University of Washington, but because of Duke University.
This year's Duke University is strong, very strong!
Starting center Josh McRoberts, the No. 1 high school student in the nation in the same class as Yese, is a very well-rounded white center.
Starting power forward Sheldon Williams, the draft prospect has never fallen out of the lotto, and the top pick is the favorite.
Starting small forward Lee Melchioni, the nephew of Bill Melcioni, a former ABA New York Nets and now a legendary star of the New Jersey Nets, his father is the legendary captain of Duke University, Gary Melcioni, a famous second-generation star.
Although by the time Duke arrived, his talent had bottomed out and he had transitioned into a pitcher, in high school he was a competitor to what is now NBA superstar LeBron James.
Starting point guard J.J. Redick, last year's NCAA No. 1 team guard, is now the No. 1 NCAA player.
Starting playmaker Sean Ducre, a senior, 1.88 meters tall and weighing 84 kilograms, is a well-known defender on the outside of the NCAA league, very clingy, and like Roy, is considered a potential second-round pick.
In addition to these five starters, Duke also has young players such as Greg Paulus and DeMarcus Nelson sitting on the bench.
It can be said that Duke University's strong roster is not only considered the strongest in the NCAA this year, but also one of the strongest in previous years.
Duke University is the favorite to win this year's NCAA championship!
The media treatment that Duke University has enjoyed in the NCAA this year is equivalent to the media treatment that the Lakers brought out the O'Neal, Kobe, Malone and Payton F4 duo in the NBA two years ago.
Even before the NCAA began, Duke was already in the national spotlight.
All fans across the country are waiting to see how Duke University will kick off their new season.
This season, Duke fans' hopes for Duke are: undefeated and won!
The best squad plus the best head coach Coach K, you say, how to lose!
It's impossible to lose!
Because there is simply no reason to beat Duke!
Therefore, in this game between Duke University and the University of Washington, fans and experts across the United States actually want to see how Duke University parades.
Players from other NCAA powerhouses, coaches, and scouts for NBA players who aspire to Duke are all staring at Duke University for this game.
As for the University of Washington? Who cares!
I never thought that before the game started, the University of Washington would let them enter the climax first.
"That No. 9 Asian American player at the University of Washington can really set the mood in the stadium, and the Duke fans will actually applaud him?"
"I'd applaud him if I were there, and when has the NCAA ever seen a player who dares to play like that on the court, don't you think it's funny?"
"Duke fans feel fresh, and the opponent can't pose a threat, so it's normal to applaud him"
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect last year's NCAA round of 16 team to become a juggling team that pleases the audience after Nate Robinson left!"
"I can't wait to play the University of Washington right now so that our fans can even see acrobatics at a basketball game!"
In front of the TV, many NCAA players and coaches are looking forward to the clash with the University of Washington, this team may be weak, but it can play!
Especially that Asian kid!
"However, this Asian kid is really damned, this is Duke's home field, JJ Redick's turf, he is the smallest person in the entire NCAA, this Asian kid actually dares to enjoy the applause that belongs to Redick!"
"I guess Reddick can score 40 points in this game, and hopefully the Asian kid will leave the court with the same confidence as he has now."
Yes used to have this habit of being in the limelight.
Roy They all know that when the Five Tigers were the first to be, why was Yes the most popular?
A big part of the reason is that he's very good at playing.
Therefore, wherever the Five Tigers went, they would be most enthusiastically sought after.
After they left Garfield, Yes couldn't play.
Unexpectedly, three years later, I could see such a yes again.
So, even if you know that playing like this here is provoking Duke's players, how terrible are the eyes of those players at Duke University now?!
But whatever!
Yes likes J as much as he wants!
They support unconditionally!
After Yes's 'hot field', players from both sides took to the field.
The University of Washington starters in this game are center Bobby Jones, power forward Brockman, small forward Roy, scoring guard Yees, and playmaking guard Conroy.
In the eyes of most Duke players, Roy, the strongest player at the University of Washington, is on the same level as Sean Ducre, the weakest Duke starter.
With this lineup, dare to go wild on our turf? Who gave them the guts!
"JJ, you attack the first goal of the opening game, give that Asian kid a little color!"
Before the jump ball, the Duke players were already sure that the first wave of possession was theirs.
That's that confident!
"I know, the slaughter, it's going to start right away!"
JJ Reddick shook his long flowing hair and looked at Ye Si across from him with a cold look in his eyes.
"Josh McRoberts' bounce is better than expected, it seems that he is not happy that this year's draft is only a first-rounder, he chose to go to college right, Duke is a good platform to improve his value, he is smarter than Bynum, he may really be the champion, a white interior champion"
Many NBA scouts on the scene and in front of the television have begun to mentally calculate these popular players at Duke.
Bobby Jones's physical talent is good among black players, but his height is indeed a little shorter, and his height of 2.01 meters makes it really unrealistic how much he can do on the jump ball.
At the start of the game, Duke had its first offensive opportunity.
Duke's tactics revolve around Sheldon Williams and Reddick's pass-and-run cover tactics.
Williams is one of the best interior players in the entire league for screen quality.
Redick is the best scorer in the entire league.
The two are a perfect match!
So, this team doesn't need the kind of point guard who has a strong ball control and a strong break.
The ball moves and that's the style of this team.
How can bullying opponents with talent highlight the greatness of NCAA No. 1 coach K?
Even if Duke has players who can use their talent to tear apart opposing defenses, DeMarcus Nelson can only sit on the bench and watch how his seniors play tactics.
"Duke's style of play is very disciplined, in the whole NCAA, Redick's running ability is the best, there are not many guards in the NCAA who like to chase people, they prefer one-on-one heads-up, Redick is an alternative!"
"That's why he can score so many points! So no matter how many points he scores, he can't improve his rank! ”
Redick's running ability is at the level of a god in the NCAA.
In the American basketball world, not many people play running in high school or college.
NCAA players and high school players are very simple players, and Redick is a tactical player with a dirty heart.
Everyone is happily showing off their physical talents, and it's a bit shameless to look at your shameless tactics.
Moreover, Reddick takes advantage and likes to provoke others.
As a result, Redick was named the most hated player in the nation by CBS, and even Duke fans felt it was a good fit.
"How long do you guess it will take for that Asian kid to get out of balance with Reddick in this game?"
"I don't know, but, it should be soon!"
"Huh? Did you notice that Reddick was taking a bit longer this time? ”
"Duke took almost 20 seconds to attack this time, right?!"
"The NCAA now has a player who Redick can't shake off in 20 seconds?!"
After the opening, Duke was executing tactics around Redick as usual.
Generally speaking, according to Redick's running ability, after two or three single blocks, he will not be able to see a defender for two meters next to him.
Now, it's not two or three single stops!
"JJ didn't get rid of this Asian kid?!"
Even Williams, who had been covering for Redick, was surprised!
When Duke's attack time came to 28 seconds, Redick finally got a chance to shoot!
A shot against Yes's defense!
This is really not a good opportunity compared to the past.
However, this is already the best chance for this attack!
Bang!
Shoot the iron!
The whole Duke team revolved around Reddick's attack, and the attack that the Duke team poured into hoping to teach Yes a lesson ended in failure!
Looking at the University of Washington No. 9 in front of Redick, the scouts and the other NCAA team players and coaches were a little silent for a while.
"Oh my God, there's anyone in the NCAA who can make this filthy guy deflated?!"
Looking at the Duke University No. 4 on TV, who just had no chance at all, and his face was very unhappy after striking iron, Chris Paul was very excited!
It was he who made Redick deflated last time, and after that, he was beaten by Redick......
