Chapter 32: Open and Fight

With the referee's whistle, players from both sides began to take the field.

The scene immediately erupted in roaring applause, this applause is not for a certain team, but for the upcoming game, you must know that because the game is set in Orlando, so the vast majority of the fans on the scene are neutral fans.

The center forwards of both sides walked to the halfway line and started jumping the ball!

The Boilermakers' center is naturally Brad Miller, while UCLA's starting center is George Zidike.

Speaking of Zidik as a player, Richard actually had a cognitive error......

In Richard's impression, the three seniors that UCLA is proud of this season are all nobodies, otherwise Richard would not have said that these three people could not enter the NBA......

In fact, all three of them entered the NBA at the end of the season, and they are not low in the overall pick......

According to the normal historical trajectory, the winner of this NCAA National Championship will be UCLA, and it is normal to think about it, they can reach the Finals, the strength must be extremely outstanding, and their record this season is only one loss in the regular season in the league, and nothing else.

And UCLA, which won the championship, the three main cores of the team, MOP dual-energy forward O'Banon, was selected by the Nets with the ninth pick in the draft a few months later......

Although the pick is high, this product has only finished its rookie season in the NBA, and there is no ball to play, and the average level of about four points per game in several seasons is definitely a parallel commodity in the lottery show......

It's no wonder that Richard doesn't have much of an impression of him, and the average normal basketball writer would certainly not notice such a small character.

And Zidike, the center who jumped with Miller, was also a rookie in 95, and was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 22nd pick in the first round, and his career was worse than that of Aubanun, changing three teams in three years, averaging 3 points and 2 rebounds per game, and then there was no ball to play......

The last of the three cores, that is, the backcourt player Edney who is shorter than himself that Iverson complained about......

This product was selected by the Kings with the 18th pick in the second round, not to mention that this product's career is better than the previous two, and he averaged 10 points per game in his rookie season......

But this performance did not last long, and the scoring statistics continued to decline in the next three seasons, and finally played in the NBA for four years, changed three teams, and left the league in disgrace......

It's no wonder that Richard can remember just three parallel goods......

There are dozens of similar players in the NBA every year, and unless Richard's brain is a machine, he will definitely not be able to remember, and besides, there is no need to remember them at all......

Compared with UCLA's three major parallel imports, the four King Kongs of the Boilermen, even Brent Barry, who is the worst in the future, have also played in the NBA for 14 years, and played 14+5+5 in the peak season, completely blowing up the three major parallel goods......

……

"Toot!"

The referee blew the whistle, the basketball in his hand was provoked upward, and the center of the jumping ball jumped up to fight for the ball in this first offensive round!

What is more embarrassing is that the job of jumping the ball to see physical fitness is not Miller's strong point, and Zidik got the first offensive ball for UCLA!

Edney controlled the ball and pushed forward, while Iverson stepped forward to press the ball.

The ball has not yet reached the frontcourt, and there is no need for regional joint defense at all, and the short time that Edney controls the ball and goes to the front court is the time for Iverson to play freely!

Edney obviously didn't take Iverson as a rookie very seriously, he had been in the college league for four years, what kind of player had he not seen? The so-called geniuses, in his opinion, are completely stupid, fools who only rely on physical gifts to play......

Seeing Iverson gradually pressing, Edney suddenly picked up speed, plus a back dribble, ready to pass Iverson, and then take advantage of Iverson's loss of position to play a frontcourt four-to-five!

It has to be said that Edney's abacus is quite shrewd......

But before I could figure out whether to shoot myself or pass the ball to my teammates, I just felt like I had nothing in my hands!

Looking at it again, Iverson had already controlled the ball and killed them to the basket!

Iverson's terrifying speed can only be described as a ride......

Edney watched Iverson and easily put the ball in the basket!

……

"Wow!" Countless fans at the scene applauded loudly!

At the beginning, there was a wonderful broken ball and an empty basket score, which directly detonated the atmosphere of the scene!

"Hey, Aaron still likes gambling steals, this kid ......" Unlike the roar of the scene, Richard had a headache......

Originally, Richard's plan was to change Iverson's defensive style of gambling steals, after all, although this defensive style will look good with steal statistics, it is extremely prone to defensive mistakes......

Judging from the current situation, Richard's plan is estimated to be unachievable, and some things have been deeply engraved into Iverson's bone marrow.

"Young man, this is all normal...... old Philip said with a smile on the side.

……

The game on the field continued......

Iverson opened with a steal and an empty basket that made UCLA's head coach Jim Harrick look very ugly.

However, he is still calm at the moment, after all, the game has only just started a round.

Next up is UCLA's offensive possession......

After Edney suffered a big loss this time, he was a lot more careful, slowly controlled the ball and advanced, not giving Iverson the slightest chance at all!

After seeing that there were no tackles, Iverson returned to the area he was responsible for defending and began to play a zone defense with his teammates.

The Boilermakers' zone defense is absolutely iron-clad, and if it's those teams that are at the bottom, they'll have a hard time finding any offensive opportunities other than front-to-head shooting.

And Edney, as the core point guard of a top school like UCLA, and has played for four years, naturally has two brushes......

In the gaps in the defense, Edney cut through the ball and passed the ball to Zidike, the center under their basket!

……

Zidik was naturally happy in his heart, he felt that he was going to show his face, this game was the finals broadcast live in the United States!

Although he played four years at UCLA, this season was the first time Zidik had reached the Final Four with the team......

The reason for Zidike's illusion of showing his face is that he just jumped the ball and won against Brad Miller!

……

After getting the ball, Zidik was ready to start playing low back, which is the most common offensive method used by center forwards......

But after carrying it, Zidik was dumbfounded, how to fight?

He was shocked to find that he used his strength to feed Miller behind him, but Miller just didn't move......

If he knew that Miller was the man who could fight O'Neal under the basket, then Zidik would not have had the ridiculous idea of back-hitting......

After a few consecutive pushes, Miller still didn't move......

Although it is said that the NCAA does not attack for three seconds and defend for three seconds, it is embarrassing to say that it has always been like this......

In this case, Zidik wanted to pass the ball again, but after looking at the Boilermakers' regional defense, he thought to himself that his poor passing skills would create a steal for one of the Boilermakers' players if he dared to pass......

With no choice, Zidik could only pull back, widen the distance between him and Miller, and free up space for his mid-range shot!

This ball, Zidik can't make a shot at the moment......

The only thing that made him a little relieved was that Miller, a player who looked like a fool, did not come up to chase the defense, but instead showed his white teeth and laughed......

"Fool!" In an instant, Zidik was identified, and Miller was a fool!
