Chapter Twenty-Four: Flex Attack

At the beginning of the game, the starters of both sides stood in formation, and the center jumped the ball.

The referee threw the ball in the middle line, and the basketball flew up to the cheers of the fans in the audience, and the centers of both sides jumped at the same time.

Bobcats center Po Sengerber and Anthony Washington are exactly the same height and weight, both 6 feet 9 inches tall and weigh 245 pounds, but Anthony Washington bounces a little better than the other team, and he is the first to dial the basketball.

Brandon Roy receives the ball from Washington and hands it to Will Conroy, who controls the ball and slowly carries the basketball across the halfcourt.

The rules of the NCAA are different from those of the NBA and FIBA, and each NCAA game is divided into two halves, with a 20-minute half-time break and a 15-minute break in between.

The time for each attack is 35 seconds, and the time for the attacking team to dribble through the half court is 10 seconds.

Lorenzo Romaar's idea was simple, that is, to use endless offense to defeat the Montana Bobcats, Wilcon Roy to play point guard, and Brandon Roy to move from small forward to shooting guard to maximize his height and weight.

No. 30 Pete Conway, who defended Brandon Roy, was too skinny, at 195 pounds.

Wilconroy passed half court and handed the ball to Brandon Roy at a 45-degree angle, at which point small forward Bobby Jones used Anthony Washington's cover to cut into the basket from the upper line.

Unfortunately, Bobcats' No. 42 small forward Casey Reynolds bypassed Anthony Washington's cover and followed Bobby Jones closely, with Brandon Roy having no passing route.

No one noticed, Wilconroy snuck up to Anthony Washington's side to give him a cover, Anthony Washington went straight down, and Brandon Roy didn't hesitate to stuff the basketball into it like a cannonball.

"Boom!"

Anthony Washington was unceremonious to the Bobcats point guard Jason Eriksen, who had switched over, and scored on a dunk to score the first point of the game.

Jason Eriksen, when he saw Anthony Washington's momentum on dry land, only stood symbolically and watched Anthony Washington dunk the ball into the basket.

The arena erupted in cheers.

Lu Fei sat on the sidelines and nodded slightly.

Lorenzo Roma arranged the twisted attacking tactics, and the players on the field executed quite beautifully.

Flex offense, i.e. Flex offense.

It's a templated offense characterized by passing, blocking, and ball transitions and on-court responses, and it's very effective against man-to-man defense, with scoring opportunities coming from curved cuts and elbow jumpers.

Misalignment usually occurs when doing screens and exchanging defenses, which leads to offensive opportunities.

Lu Fei believed that he could see it, and the other party's coach would definitely be able to see it.

Sure enough, two rounds later, the formation of the Montana Bobcats changed to a three-two defense, and the NCAA can use a joint defense, so there is no three-second defense.

The corners of Lu Fei's mouth hooked a trace of arc: "You still underestimate Lorenzo too much." ”

As soon as Lorenzo came on the court, he put Brandon Roy in the position of shooting guard, just to wait for the opponent to change formation, and use Brandon Roy to force the Bobcats' thin point guard Pete Conway.

Brandon Roy received the ball with his back and leaned on Pete Conway, Conway's soles shook, and when he stabilized his body, he could only watch Brandon Roy turn over and make a jumper.

The basketball crossed a high arc and went into the net with a hollow sound.

The live broadcast elongated and shouted: "Cloth ...... Langdon ......"

In just three minutes of the opening game, the score was already 15:6

The Montana Bobcats didn't expect the Huskies' offensive firepower to be so fierce, but no matter how fierce the offense was, it wouldn't have allowed them to score only six points, and what made them score so few points was only because of the Eskimos' defensive knife - Anthony Washington.

The Bobcats' point guard Jason Eriksen tried to block and single Anthony Washington, and the guard played center, small and big, and he should have a certain degree of certainty, but he didn't expect Anthony Washington's lateral speed to be so fast, and there was no chance to break through at all.

He scored two points from shooting alone.

The offense can't be hit, the defense can't be defended, how the hell is this game played?

Bobcats head coach Mick Durham saw that the mentality of the players on the court was not right, and quickly called a timeout, and if he didn't call a timeout, the game might be played at the beginning.

"Casey, you go to defend No. 3 Brandon Roy, remember not to give him space to shoot, the defensive formation is still a three-two defense, if No. 3 chooses to break through, Pete, you go to the bag, let go of that useless No. 15 Bobby Jones." Mick Durham swapped the small forward and shooting guard for a bit, and he decided to choke the opposing perimeter.

The move worked, as Brandon Roy missed a shot, and the rebound was grabbed by Bobcats center Po Sengerber and a long pass to fast-break point guard Jason Erickson.

Eriksen stopped outside the three-point line, took a shot, and hit.

15:9

Lorenzo Roma was not in a hurry, he stood on the sidelines and commanded calmly.

The two sides entered a tug-of-war, you shoot one, I shoot one, because the Bobcats chose a three-two defense, Brandon Roy and Wilcon Roy gave up strong play, and they all chose to shoot in the bottom corner, and the Bobcats players couldn't make up for it at all.

With nine minutes left in the first half, the score stopped at 27:16

Although the main players played 11 minutes, the actual players did not play that long because the NCAA games did not stop scoring goals.

Lorenzo Roma called a timeout.

The head coach of the Bobcats, Mick Durham, knew that Lorenzo was ready to change the bench, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, and it was not easy for his players to control the difference of ten points in the past ten minutes.

His eyes fell on the 5-foot-9-inch Netter Robinson from the Huskies, holding the tactical board in his hand and arranging: "Defend No. 2 Nate Robinson, these nine minutes are a good chance for us to catch up with the score, as long as we guard Robinson, we have a chance to win the game." ”

Nate Robinson came on and the crowd cheered.

However, Lu Fei next to him seemed to be just stained, and even Mikagedalam was only slightly surprised when the Eskimo team had Asian players, but he was only slightly surprised, and did not take the thin yellow-skinned boy in front of him to heart.

There is even a faint idea of letting the players beat it.

Nate Robinson controlled the ball over half court, and an acceleration broke through to the free throw line, and the Bobcats were tasked with strangling Nate Robinson, and seeing him come in to make up for the defense, the forward directly stuck his route.

"Damn! Don't you give me a chance to perform? Nate Robinson cursed and shook his hand sharply.

The basketball crossed an arc and passed to Lu Fei, who was unmarked at all.

Lu Fei raised his hand and voted.

"Huh."

Three-point net.

After Lu Fei threw this three-point shot, the happiest people on the sidelines were Daddy Chen and Gu Tang, the two of them stood up and shouted Lu Fei to come on.

The on-site broadcast also introduced: "The three-point shot was a new addition to our Huskies team, fei LU from China, and his shooting action was really standard, which reminded me of the three-point king Ray Allen who is going to join us in Seattle this season." ”

The camera was duly aimed at Ray Allen on the sidelines, and the picture of Ray Allen appeared on the big screen above the arena.

Seeing Lu Fei score three points, he also nodded slightly.

The shooting action is standard, and the wrists are soft.

However, this alone is not enough for the discerning him, because the opponent does not defend Lu Fei at all, and shooting in such a large vacancy is just a basic operation.

He also wants to see if Lu Fei can get rid of the defense and shoot under the opponent's strict defense.

The Bobcats missed another offense, and Nate Robinson rushed inside, grabbed a rebound on the head of the opposing center, and then dribbled to the frontcourt.

Three Bobcats players blocked Nate Robinson's fast-break path. Robinson slowed down and waited for the other players to take place.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a purple figure passing by the sideline.

It's Lu Fei!

Lu Fei was like a bolt of lightning, the Bobcats' scoring guard was blocked by the Eskimo Dogs' substitute center, and he didn't even pull the corner of Lu Fei's clothes, Lu Fei rushed into the inside line and jumped high.

Nate Robinson throws the ball into the air.

Ray Allen stood up, and the fans in the stadium stood up.

"Boom!"

The basket made a trembling sound.

The Bobcats players seemed to be blinded by Lu Fei's slam dunk.

Lu Fei landed and smiled: This is also a Flex attack.
