Chapter 125 125, an upset start
In the afternoon, everyone mainly focused on shooting and coordination, and I didn't know much about the Gonzaga team, and no one expected that they would go to the end.
After analyzing their past data, their strength is in the inside, center Williams Gauss, is still very good, the technique is very comprehensive, with height and weight, which may be a big trouble for North Carolina.
As for the outside, Gonzaga is not very good, at least, in front of North Carolina with Cheng Lei and Joel, it should not be a big threat.
As long as Williams Gauss can suppress the inside, North Carolina will have a good chance of winning the final championship.
This training is mainly aimed at Gonzaga's interior line, defensive drills, and it is also based on shrinking defense, Jackson and Payne have the most pressure, and the finals will depend on whether the two can suppress each other.
At 10 a.m. the next day, the game officially began, and Gonzaga was still their main lineup.
Collins, Matthews, Perkins, Carnoski, Williams Gauss.
On the North Carolina side, Joel was still put down on the bench, and in this game, Joel would not have played unless he had to do so, after all, his injury had not really fully recovered.
Williams, Cheng Lei, Hicks, Jackson, Payne, or the starting lineup when playing Kentucky.
"I think the championship this time probably belongs to North Carolina!"
"I agree, you see, Joel from North Carolina is still on the bench!"
"Gonzaga is honest, a large part of the reason for being able to get this far, is really good luck due to them!"
Almost one-sided in the stands are all in favor of North Carolina, Gonzaga is not a traditional giant in their eyes, and there are no quasi-NBA players, and North Carolina has shown enough strength through the previous games.
Because it is the finals, there are actually several NBA stars on the sidelines, and it seems that everyone still attaches great importance to the finals.
The camera at the scene was also directly given to the Heat star Dern Wade who came to the scene, and Wade waved his hand to the camera.
The competition has officially begun.
Williams Gauss gave Gonzaga the ball with his excellent jump.
The people in North Carolina quickly returned to the defense, and directly set up a position and waited for Gonzaga.
After Collins dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, Williams Gauss continued to guide the ball on the perimeter, and when Gauss entered the inside line, he had the opportunity to play the ball inside.
North Carolina is now a shrinking defense, and it is difficult to open the gap through the inside.
However, after Gonzaga passed a few guides, the ball still passed to Gauss on the inside.
Payne blocked Gauss directly behind him with his body, and then, Jackson quickly wrapped it up, and the master held the ball high, no matter how he tried, he never found a good shot, and the time was running out.
Compared to the inside, the pressure on the outside is still relatively small, and Gauss quickly threw the ball out, and the ball went to Perkins outside the three-point line.
"It's so uncomfortable for Gonzaga to play inside!"
"Sure enough, I still can't find a good way to attack!"
"It's just that Gonzaga's outside line is not very strong, and the crosshairs are very poor, you see, Perkins, who is holding the ball now, can only score six points per game on average, maybe he doesn't believe he can shoot it!"
After Perkins received the ball, he did hesitate, the time was almost over, and if he didn't make a shot, he would have to violate the rules in 24 seconds, and he would shoot directly.
Hicks, who defended Perkins, was biased towards the inside, so, two steps away from Perkins, watching Perkins shoot, was not in a hurry, it was a symbolic pave.
Swish!
Perkins, who usually doesn't have a high shooting percentage, actually shot this three-pointer, which made Hicks feel a little surprised.
"This guy can still throw in, and the sun has just come out in the west?"
On the North Carolina side, the first choice of offense is Cheng Lei, Gonzaga's outside line is not strong, of course, you need to target the following, after the ball passed the half, Williams passed the ball directly to Cheng Lei.
The teammates all pulled away and let Cheng Lei play alone.
Without a player with quasi-NBA strength, it is almost impossible to prevent Cheng Lei.
There was no need for any fancy moves, after the two disguised ones, they pulled half of their bodies, and Cheng Lei directly pulled up a three-point shot and threw it.
Dangdang Dang...
After the ball bounced on the basket a few times, it actually bounced out and didn't go in.
"Rebound!" Cheng Lei shouted.
Payne found his position and jumped to take the rebound, but a big hand took a step ahead of him and grabbed the ball.
The ball got into Gonza and Collins' hands, squeezing the tempo, and when everyone was in place, he dribbled the ball across the halfcourt.
Now, you need to play a success rate, and if you increase the tempo, there will be more offensive rounds, which will be very bad for Gonzaga.
Still playing around Gauss, Gauss did not disappoint Gonzaga, after raising the ball high, he used his back to resist Payne and obtained a very small space to shoot.
Then, with a small hook, the ball went in.
Back to the North Carolina offense, Cheng Lei still chose a tentative three-pointer, but unfortunately, the ball was still a little heavier and knocked out of the frame.
Today's hand feels a little cold.,Tentative shots twice.,Both were out of the way.,It seems,It's a change of offensive method.。
After letting Gauss score a goal, for the interior defense, the package is faster, as long as Gauss gets the ball, Jackson will come over to cover it at the first time.
Gauss also learned smartly, and after he didn't have a chance to shoot, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately moved the ball to the outside to seek other opportunities.
The ball actually returned to Perkins's hands, Hicks still put two steps, that is, let you shoot, throw it into the calculation I lose, at that time, if you want to break through, or into the three-point line to shoot, it is impossible.
Perkins dribbled the ball, slowed it down for a moment, and threw it out.
The ball actually went in again, and even he couldn't believe it, looking at his hands.
At 8:0, Gonzaga played a small climax as soon as he came up, directly leading North Carolina by eight points.
This surprised everyone in the stands, when did Gonzaga become so fierce? It seems that it is still a bit expected to be able to enter the finals, and everyone fantasizes about whether Gonzaga will be a big upset.
"This guy has taken his medicine, right? I've never seen him so accurate! ”
"Such a big vacancy, it's me and I can vote in!" Said a fan in the stands.
"You just pull it down!" The companion on the side said with a look of disdain.
On the North Carolina side, he quickly called a timeout, the tactics did not change, and he still contracted the defense, and as for Perkins, let Hicks pay a little attention.
Now, the main reason is that Cheng Lei's offense can't be opened, and Coach Roy motioned for Cheng Lei to play a sudden inside and find an opportunity.
Since the outside line doesn't feel very good today, there is no need for Coach Roy to say, Cheng Lei himself is also ready to play the inside line, even if he can't score, at least there is a high probability of making a foul.
