Chapter 56: Bench Depth
Pro on the field.
Zhang Tong said calmly next to Deng Hongfei, "Seth Curry and that Dawkins' three-point shot is a big threat, their rotation is very good, and their physical strength is better preserved than ours." ”
"So all we can fight for is willpower."
Deng Hongfei did not deny this.
Zhang Tong nodded, "But we also have to make some targeted changes." ”
He called Feng Xiujie, "Let's give them some intensity, even if they foul, they can't make it easy!" ”
Feng Xiujie agreed.
Duke University's Offense.
As soon as Seth Curry caught the baseline ball, he felt a strong force slam into him on his side.
In an instant, the thin body was a little unstable, and the center of gravity wavered for a moment.
Zhang Tong opened his arms and grasped the proportions well.
A hand dances gently in front of you, constantly trying to pull out the ball.
The other hand spread out like a wing, blocking Curry's turn.
This made Seth Curry very uncomfortable.
No offensive player would like to defend like a mad dog.
Especially a technical flow player like Seth Curry suffers even more.
He frowned, gritted his teeth, and struggled to grasp the ball under Zhang Tong's pressure while watching his teammates' movements.
More and more anxious to discover.
Hairston was also entangled by Deng Hongfei.
Dawkins, on the other side, was also caught in a fight with Feng Xiujie.
The movements of the two sides are getting bigger and bigger, even pulling and pulling, and neither is better than the other.
In desperation, Seth Curry sensed that time was running out, so he reluctantly took a few steps, pulled the ball and turned around to make a hasty shot.
The basketball arc is very high, and it smashes on the rebound without a head, and does not touch the basket.
Zhang Tong, who was inserted into the inside line, quickly stopped and quickly launched a fast attack.
Duke University quickly returns to defense.
Shuangqing University has two fast horses, no, it should be three.
Because this time, Feng Xiujie also broke out at the fastest speed.
Deng Hongfei and he were divided on the wings, and Zhang Tong controlled the ball and dodged around the middle to avoid Seth Curry's gambling up-and-roll, and plunged into the paint like a small tank.
Duke's bench interior line has long been prepared, like two insurmountable walls erected in front of Zhang Tong.
At this moment, Zhang Tong's fake fax shot scared Duke's big center into moving a step in the direction of his "pass".
It was at this step that Zhang Tong saw the shooting space, and with a light pick of his wrist, the basketball bounced into the basket with the rebound.
15 points difference!
The atmosphere at the scene became more and more tense.
Many viewers felt like their breathing was a bit uncontrollably messy and heavy.
They clenched their fists, hoping that the ratio on the screen would be a little smaller, a little smaller.
Old Coach K put away his playfulness.
Although it was a friendly match, the opponent played so far that he smelled danger.
The momentum of Shuangqing University is like a rainbow, as if condensed into substance, echoing the entire venue.
"Well done!"
"Back to defense, back to defense!"
Kang Bo couldn't sit still at this moment, standing on the sidelines and waving desperately, encouraging the morale of the players.
Just after halftime, Seth Curry saw that annoying guy again, and his eyes came up like a big pervert who saw the flower girl.
Clung to his body, a great power passed from his body.
At the same time, there are small actions that make him gag.
"Boom."
Seth angrily smashed the ball to the ground at Dawkins, who was about to catch the ball in the center circle.
When it comes to ball control, Dawkins is not very good.
He is just a pure shooter, and in the face of Feng Xiujie's ferocious pressing, Dawkins also died in an instant, holding the ball safely.
Distribute it to Hairston, not far away.
However, he miscalculated Deng Hongfei's defensive area.
The latter stretched out his long arms and pounced on his body, knocking the ball away in an instant.
At the same time, he stepped on the accelerator with all his might, and the whole person ran forward frantically again.
As soon as he copied the ball rolling on the ground into his arms.
Zhang Tong and Feng Xiujie accelerated at the same time again.
Hurry up and win!
There are still 13 points left!
The score is getting closer.
Duke University is also playing more and more frizzy, and now the form on the court has gradually fallen to Shuangqing University, which is playing at home.
Coach K stood on the sidelines, took a deep breath, and felt more and more bad.
Although it was a friendly match, you must not lose.
He didn't allow anything to go wrong, and he went back to the country to make people laugh.
So he immediately called a timeout.
In just a few minutes, Duke was forced to call two timeouts in a row, which anyone with a discerning eye could see.
They were really forced to face the game.
"Mason."
Old K looked at Plumlee, "Control the foul, you go." ”
"Seth, you come down and rest first, Tyler."
Tyler Thornton, who is Seth Curry's backup, is 187cm tall and has more power and impact than Seth Curry, but there is a big gap in projection ability and small skills.
But in the current situation, his effect on the court is indeed better than that of Seth Curry.
Sure enough, the substitution of Coach K was immediate.
As soon as Taylor Thornton came on the court, Zhang Tong's tough defensive effect was not so good.
The two pioneers collided hard, and the bright swords slashed at each other, and in the process, Zhang Tong's physical strength began to decline sharply.
Thornton relied on impact to make two lay-up kills.
In an instant, Duke's stagnant offense was revived again.
"Hey."
Kang Bo and Jiang Xueshu shook their heads again and again, and they looked around.
There is simply no one who can replace Zhang Tong to limit Thornton's play.
Too few people available?
It's better to say that the difference in strength between the two sides is too big.
Duke bench depth is too deep.
If it weren't for Deng Hongfei dragging him, I'm afraid the score difference would have returned to more than 20 in an instant.
Deng Hongfei's chest burned with a raging flame, as if his soul seemed to have traveled back to the United States, that crazy March, a March full of regrets.
The friendly match with Duke University seemed to be played by him as a game of March Madness.
Unfulfilled long-cherished wishes and regrets, he doesn't want this game to end up in a sluggish performance.
It's always going to be a fight.
Deng Hongfei breathed a long sigh of relief, but still aimed the breakthrough at Plumlee, who was about to go off the court with one more foul, and now is the best opportunity.
After the latter came on the court, Duke's interior line also began to recover, but the defensive end was a little restrictive.
It's a norm for players who are plagued by foul counts.
As a result, Shuangqing University has been given more opportunities.
Reiganyi, who didn't have many opportunities to perform throughout the game, began to get the ball inside and actively sought physical confrontation.
It was Plumlee's awkward situation that he was in right now.
I want to start, but I don't dare to start.
Sure enough, I really beat him up a few times.
In this way, the two sides tug-of-war into the fourth quarter, and Shuangqing University still trailed by 17 points.
And Deng Hongfei has personally scored as many as 35 points.
