"See, Murphy, this is the power of the small ball that prevails in the league now, although the Tigers have no advantage in height, but the speed advantage is very obvious, as long as the Colombian Lions can't shoot and can't grab the rebounds in the frontcourt, then it will give the Tigers a chance to play a quick counterattack. The hulking Osette Kowski hadn't even run to basketball, and the Tigers had already finished attacking. On the commentary seat, Barry, a white man who can fly, said to Murphy beside him.

"I don't think the 203cm max is very dominant in my backcourt rebounds." Murphy continued to retort.

The routine of the live commentary is to stand aside alone, creating arguments and topics, and Murphy, who has been on the side of Columbia University as a special guest over the years, is familiar to him, although Columbia University has not made it into Crazy March from his enrollment to his graduation.

"Oh~ young man, physical condition is not all that is to control rebounds, bounce power and card position ability are also very important." As the slam dunk king of '96, Barry has a lot to say about it.

As the two spoke, Columbia point guard Franksky had pushed the ball two steps to the top of the arc in the opposing half. Princeton's vacant Amir Bell defended Frankski alone, the two were 188cm tall and 190cm, the tonnage was similar, and the footsteps were half a pound, so Franksky made a gesture and called for center Osette Kowski to come over for a high block.

Franksky cut into the three-point line with the help of his teammate's high block, Princeton's number one star Barasser quickly switched positions to defend him, the 203cm Barasser was fast, and his outstretched arms not only suppressed Franksky's jump space and shooting space, but also completely blocked his passing route to center Osette Kowski.

Barry couldn't help but praise: "Balasser's defensive skills are very good, he makes the most of his height and reach, and he doesn't move slower than Frankski, look, man, Franksky has no chance to pass to the center of the Lions, their mismatch advantage is gone." ”

Frankiski had no choice but to pass the ball to Maodore Lowe, who was running on the outside, and after receiving the ball, Maodore faced the defense of Corey Wilson, first dribbling the ball left and right alternately under his hips, and his upper body made a move to step forward to the left side, causing Korey to misjudge and cut into the three-point line from the right side and hit a jumper before Balasser could make up the defense.

"Barry, don't forget, the Lions have Maodore, he's a member of the national team, a player who has shot more than 50 percent from two-point range for three seasons in a row." Murphy said with a smile when he saw Maordo hit.

“NONONO！ Don't forget, only Maodore can score 10 points in the entire Colombian Lions, and although Luke has performed well this year, I think that's the result of opponents underestimating him, as long as the defensive intensity increases, he will not have this result. I'm sure Mr. Mitch Henderson, who is shouting from the sidelines, is asking his players to find a way to restrain Maodore. Barry dismissed Murphy's retort and said with a smile.

Sure enough, after Princeton relied on Balasser's individual ability to score a goal against Osette Kowski, the Tigers began to pack Maodore, and the first Kore to assist in scoring was the small forward Wizz who was the first to send an assist, and Jeff, the third post at Columbia University, who was supposed to defend Wizz, was completely empty.

Maodore didn't hesitate to pass the ball to Jeff on the wing, and instead of shooting a three-pointer, Jeff, who was completely empty, dribbled inside, and the center on the inside, Barasseur, stepped forward to block his way.

"Pass the ball!" Kyle yelled on the bench, but Jeff Cowbe seemed to be completely blind to his teammate who was released center Osette Kowski, and when he saw that the way was blocked, he jumped directly, but the shot was interfered with by Balasser and the iron popped up.

The Tigers' Steven Cook quickly let go of the opposing Luke when the basketball popped out of the frame and rushed directly to grab the rebound, while the basketball that interfered with Jeff Balasser quickly returned to the basket and bounced to the rebound at the same time as his teammates.

Although Osettkowski is 211cm tall and weighs 122kg, his bounce and reach are not particularly outstanding, resulting in the rebound being grabbed by Barasser.

"Hey, Murphy, see? Height isn't everything in rebounding! Balasser showed his ability to excel on both ends of the floor, with his quick movement and excellent physicality, he blocked Jeff and grabbed rebounds in the backcourt. "Barry clearly admires Barasser.

"If Jeff had passed the ball to Ossetkovski, the Lions would have overcome." Murphy said helplessly.

"Murphy, my man, you have to understand that not every player has a passing smell, Jeff Cowbe played at Columbia University for 2 years, played more than 15 minutes, but only had 0.5 assists, which already shows that he does not have passing talent, this young man only has the basket as soon as he gets the ball, unfortunately his shooting percentage is not high, and the shooting rate has not exceeded 40% for two consecutive years. Coach Mitch clearly knows a lot about the strengths and weaknesses of Columbia's players. Know who to strengthen and who can relax. Barry said triumphantly.

The situation on the court also developed as Barry predicted, Princeton University almost gave up the defense of Jeff, especially outside the three-point line, several times it was not defensive at all, Jeff also shot a few shots, but all of them were iron, and when he hit the inside, either Wizz who assisted in defending Maodore relied on his movement speed to make up for the defense, or Barasser gave up Osette Kowski to make up for the defense.

Coach Smith decisively replaced him at the timeout and replaced him with Isaac Cohen, who is only 193cm tall and weighs 99 kilograms, with Cohen's passing IQ much higher than that of Jeff Cowbe, and his play-on action revitalized Columbia's offense. Gave a few good passes to a teammate.

But then Princeton University science changed his defensive strategy, Maodore was still caught between Wiz and Korey, and still let Cohen shoot outside the three-point line, his three-point shooting ability was half a pound and two with Jeff, as long as he entered the three-point line, Balasser immediately stepped forward to defend Cohen, and then the big forward who defended Luke, Cook, immediately went around the center of the defense of Columbia, Osette Kowski, and hung the opposite Luke in the horn area.

This led to the main scoring point of Columbia University, Maodore, also seemed to struggle under the pinch, scoring below average, Luke and Osette Kowski two inside lines in the opponent's infinite change of defense and around the front of the defense tactics completely unable to receive the ball, can only rely on the rebound to score a few points, such scoring ability is not enough to stop the Princeton Tigers with the three forward lines of Barasser, Wizz, Cook to create a lead.

The NCAA only stops scoring in the second half or the last two minutes of overtime, and it is only divided into two halves, and the rules of 35 seconds of offense and 10 seconds of half court are very different from the NBA's format, but Princeton University completely ignores these rules, and plays the small-ball tactics to the fullest, and does not need to spend 35 seconds to run the tactics at all, although their shooting percentage is only half a pound compared to Columbia University, but the number of shots is much higher than that of Columbia University.

Thus, at the end of the first half, they led Colombia by as many as 12 points, 42-30.

The crowd in the stadium walked thirty percent away, but none of the Chinese students left, they were still holding their mobile phones and waiting for Li Wu to play, and the Lions' defensive assistant coach Adam said to Coach Smith: "Sir, their infinite rotation and bombardment tactics completely printed Osette Kowski's play, except for the switchback run, they can only pitifully grab a few rebounds and blocks, and most of the time they can't even catch the ball, I think we should replace it and use Luke as a center to strengthen our athleticism." ”

"Let Luke play the number 5? So who's playing the No. 4 position? Smith asked.

"Move Cohen to No. 4 and Maodore to No. 3 and then Kyle and Lee and play one and two so we can keep up." Head Assistant Coach Derek said: "It's a little bit lower, but we don't suffer from Upper Princeton's height. ”
