Chapter 71: Blue Devils!
"It's all over, Mr. Jabbar" Zhou Yang came to the house sweating profusely at this time.
And Abdul-Jabbar and Johnson have been talking there for a long time. They saw the Asian player walk in quietly. There are also some broken leaves and grass pulp left by weeds.
After smiling at each other, the magician said that it was not too early and that he was going to leave here. Abdul-Jabbar motioned to Zhou Yang to wait, and after seeing Johnson away, he slowly walked in.
"Who gave the plane ticket before coming, and the agent said that the round-trip expenses would be reimbursed" Abdul-Jabbar originally wanted to praise this young man for being quite capable. As a result, the other party's words instantly lost the atmosphere......
"That's easy to say...... You sit down first," Tiangou looked at the sturdy young Asian man in front of him with his eyes shining at this time. Reminiscing about their game with North Carolina some time ago. And now Yao Ming has played a little better in the NBA.
"I think it's still not good, I'll have to take a plane back in a few hours" Zhou Yang thought he would take the money and leave. Unexpectedly, the old man in front of him didn't mean to let him leave immediately.
"Do you have any financial difficulties? If you can't play basketball for financial reasons, you can tell me. I've watched your game. If you don't fight now, aren't you afraid that you will regret it later? I can support you financially, but hehehe......"
Abdul-Jabbar laughed a little embarrassed when he said this~
"Don't laugh! Economically, there is some tightness. But it feels okay, I didn't say I gave up basketball. And you, what do you mean? The old man had just laughed and gave him goosebumps.
"Oh, you didn't give up! Then it's nothing. I thought that if you were in financial difficulty, I would help you to clean my lawn regularly for free~"
"You want to pay the bills, don't you?!" Linda came in from the outside at this point! She was walking when she heard the old man in the house say that my lawn should be cleaned regularly for free?
"No?"
"If you don't pay today, we'll live here!!" The little girl suddenly said seriously.
"Linda! Nothing, you heard it wrong."
"Is this your daughter? It's all so big! Abdul-Jabbar saw that the little girl was beautiful and cute, and immediately came to his senses.
Seeing that the time was indeed not early, the old man immediately took out the plane fee and 240 yuan of weeding money from his pocket. Then he watched them gradually leave. The old man suddenly felt a little reluctant, if only this kid could play in Los Angeles.
Go back to the big house by yourself. He was alone in the house tonight. I bought the computer, but I don't really want to use it. If only there was someone to talk to him now.
......
Colin was a little unhappy during this time, and they lost all three games during Zhou Yang's vacation...... In the first two games, they were going to lead by a lot of points in the last 10 minutes. In the end, it was the same, being overtaken by the opponent and winning the game!
As we lost one game after another, there were fewer fans in attendance.
The media also rumored that Zhou Yang may not play anymore. The school has not responded to the incident. And now Barlo in the second team is still playing very well! He started all three games, averaging 7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game!
Although this result is a little lower, it is still in the past. In both rebounding protection and athletic play, Barrow played seriously.
In the next game, they will face Duke University!
This university is also a strong team in the NCAA! Favourites! Zhou Yang also frowned when he saw the list of Duke players. In this year's competition, they have two main players, Williams and Redick!
Williams he ended up breaking the Duke University block record, while Reddick broke their school's all-time record for total points and total three-point count! And Redick is also the king of NCAA three-point shooting percentage!
When I got into the system, I found that there were no good skill sets. Just ignore it. He's a D-qualified player anyway! I don't know what kind of quality players Williams and Redick are.
After Zhou Yang returned to the school and began to participate in the training, it immediately attracted many news media to report on the school. Because they're going to Duke University to play. They feel that this game may be similar to the last time at North Carolina State, and they will lose to them by a score in the end.
"Have you gotten better about your injuries lately?" Colin saw that Zhou Yang was alone there in a daze, and went over to say hello.
"Coach. It's all right. I was just thinking...... I'm thinking about the Blue Devils" Zhou Yang hesitated, but finally said it.
"What? Aren't you still in shape? You don't have to participate in this game. We still have a lot of games to play. I'm sure we're going to get into March Madness."
Collin stood there relaxed and said that he wasn't sure what his team would be able to do with the Blues. However, with their current ability, they should still lose the game. simply let Zhou Yang rest well, and the later games may not be so tired.
"No, Coach. I'm wondering how we can win against the Blue Devils."
"Oh? What a good thing! Tell me about it," Colin immediately laughed, and then quietly listened to Zhou Yang.
"Redick's words, I don't think it's easy for us to defend. Just don't put your focus here, their inner Williams must be very hard when attacking! Because his defense is very good! ”
"Continue" Colin handed over a bottle of mineral water and took a sip of what he had in his hand.
"So even if Redick can shoot him again, there will always be times when he is tired, and we have limited their other Williams, who is not low, so that we have a chance! So my general meaning is that Redick only needs one person to defend, and the rest of the players will still have a chance if they can defend well! ”
"We're the opposite in our attitude toward Reddick. But it's going to be a tough game anyway! Then you might as well try it as you say."
Since coming to this team, Colin has been encouraging the players to design their own tactical drills, defensive drills and so on. On the one hand, there are really not many assistant coaches in the team...... On the other hand, it can give them a better understanding of what the coach intends when arranging some tactics.
The day before the game, the media could finally squeeze out some of the less popular events and broadcast the Penn State and Duke games live!
When they came to this school, they immediately warmed up. They didn't do anything more at night. Quietly watch the news, play with your phone, eat, and wait for the game to come!
......
Today's Blues starters are Ben, Williams, Gnaws, Dennis, Redick! And the Nitany Lions, this Zhou Yang replaced Barlow.
At the beginning of the game, Ben quickly got the basketball and passed the ball to Redick, who hit a jumper from Davey!
The cheers from the audience immediately rose! Reddick is now a star-level presence at Duke University! His skillful movements and accurate three-point shooting always attract many fans to cheer for him!
David dribbled the ball to the front court, and quickly passed the ball to Nishizawa under Redick's defense, Zhou Yang took the basketball and quickly passed Dennis to the basket and wanted to score a layup immediately, but Williams was already waiting there!
Unceremoniously gave Zhou Yang a big hot pot! The players on both sides didn't say much, just played there quietly. They know what the team in front of them has done some time ago.
The Asian striker is their captain! So at this time, just guard him well! The Blues' style of play is simple.
After Gerner quickly got the basketball, he rushed to the frontcourt, Redick took his ball and immediately jumped up and hit the three-point board into the basket!!
Colin immediately gasped when he saw the other party shoot three points like this! If you play like this, you might have spent the first half......
Zhou Yang has also noticed this now, that is, the opposing players are still very good at defending him! That's it! Zhou Yang, who got the ball again, quickly passed Gna, and immediately after three more people came over to wrap him!
The other party is determined that Zhou Yang is going to attack by himself! But what they basically mean is that you try to see if you can get in! At this time, Benedict took the basketball and immediately jumped back and hit a three-pointer!
6:3! Isn't this guy Zhou Yang quite capable of scoring on his own? Why did you start passing the ball today? The rest of the players didn't get it. However, they know that the other players did not perform well in the game against North Carolina.
If Zhou Yang comes like this, they can completely release other players! And the other party can't win them in the end! Due to the NCAA some time ago, Zhou Yang's personal performance was too outstanding!
This leads to one of the most intuitive impressions of other schools that the rest of the players on the Netani Lions are not very strong in terms of play. But what they ignored was that when Zhou Yang was "under house arrest" last season, the team also rushed into "March Madness"!
For Colin, the main thing he has to do now is to train the other substitutes so that they have at least some ability and practical experience.
Dennis dribbled to the frontcourt, this time Redick didn't get the ball, and after passing Nishizawa, Dennis shook off Benedict and hit a 2-point jumper! His team didn't start the game well, and Collin has no plans to make a substitution right now.
At present, the strength of the players on the field is the strongest in the team!
After Zhou Yang got the basketball, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. The opposing players also saw the ......
Just when the Blue Devils thought he was going to pass the ball to center Andre, Zhou Yang suddenly jumped up and smashed the basket for 2 points from a distance!
Sometimes Colin is too comfortable watching Zhou Yang play! Players who have good vision and ball intelligence, and can use flexibly in the game can save the coach a lot of worry.
The rest of the team now knows that they have to listen to Colin off the field, and they have to see what Zhou Yang means when they get to the field!
The situation on the field of play is changing rapidly! Even if you guess their play, they may not attack the way you want. And when it feels like the tactics of the manager are not working, it depends on how the team is going to play.
To be able to quickly find the opponent's weak points, you just need to attack immediately! And when there's nothing you can do, you can only pass the ball to someone reliable.
Williams faced Zhou Yang's jump shot and was directly interfered with by the opponent! After the basketball popped up, he was picked up by Dennis, he didn't hesitate to jump and shoot, but he was surprised to see Zhou Yang come over again and interfere with his offense!
Nishizawa got the ball and ran quickly to the frontcourt, and David got the basketball and jumped three points into the net! 8:8!
The fans at the scene were a little stunned, why did they still draw? Shouldn't it be crushing Penn State?
Gna they want to coach there, and their manager has no intention of taking a timeout right now.
After Redick got the basketball, he immediately forced a long-range three-point shot under the opponent's two-man package! Colin saw this and quickly asked for a timeout!
"Barlow went up, and Zhou Yang went to the field to take a rest. Reddick doesn't have to defend too hard here. The focus is on the efficiency of the offense. Pay more attention to the opposing Williams when driving to the basket. Pay more attention to the game and be careful of being tackled by the opponent......"
After the pause, the fans who supported Penn State were a little confused. Zhou Yang just got on the court and only scored 2 points before being replaced, what happened?
Could it be that the coach has the intention of giving up on him?
Duke was relieved to see Zhou Yang go down. It feels like as soon as this Asian player comes on the pitch, there is an extra brain in the team. Their actions have become agile and orderly.
Nishizawa dribbles to the front court and his jumper is blocked by Gna when he passes Dennis! Redick got the basketball and passed the ball to Ben in the front court, who scored a layup! 13:8!
Zhou Yang didn't quite understand why the head coach wanted to replace him so early.
Colin was also bold in doing so. He wants the team to play with each other for a while without Zhou Yang. When the team adapts to such a rhythm, let Zhou Yang go back.
The team relied too much on Zhou Yang's words and said that it was not the same thing as what he said about Redick.
When the team can play well, Zhou Yang will go up again. But the risk is that if the team doesn't play well, the pressure on Zhou Yang will be great!
And the team is also in danger of being beaten inside.
Benedict got the basketball and quickly passed the half, spun around Gna and hit a jumper! 13:11!
Today, the opponent's No. 3 position played well! The Blue Devils immediately noticed this. Ben's jump shot after getting the basketball again was directly interfered with by Andre! Then Barlow took the rebound and passed to Nishizawa, who quickly rushed to the front court and hit a three-pointer! 14:13!
Now even Colin was a little surprised. They're playing against Duke University! How do you feel like you're playing well!
The audience at the scene also rubbed their eyes, and they were not mistaken, the other party overtook the Blue Devils!
Redick motioned for the ball to be given to him! With Nishizawa and Davy defending, three more points are hit! 15:14!
Benedict dribbled to the front court and was caught between Williams and Gna, but Nishizawa picked up the basketball and pulled back to avoid Redick's defense!
