Sixty-seven, give me the ball
"Basketball is a five-player game, and participation is an important factor in winning games, Murphy, think about your career, when your opponent or teammate goes crazy and gets high scores, does his team tend to lose games? Of course, if you score 81 points in a game, there's not much to say. Barkley laughed.
After listening to Murphy, he suddenly remembered that when he played the game, it seemed that when his teammates were crazy to shoot, he often became uneasy, this seems to be a law, when you keep turning back and running, grabbing rebounds, blocking positions, blocking and dismantling, asking for positions on the court, but you have never been able to touch the ball, the mood is very bad, slowly, you will not be in the mood to run, not in the mood to defend, and even occasionally when you receive the ball, you are not in the mood to shoot.
Of course, as Ross Barkley said, your team may be able to win the game when your teammates go crazy and score 50, 60 or even 81 points, but it's a fact that your teammates' defensive motivation has dropped, and when a player feels like he's on the floor but is no longer part of the offensive tactics, that frustration affects his defensive attitude.
A lot of teams have superstars, but they rarely win, and that's a big reason for that.
Obviously, Li Wu understands this truth, so in the first half, he is actively driving his teammates, even if he is no longer entangled by Kenig, compressing his shots, in fact, the Lions shot the most in the first half of the No. 3 position Cohen, he shot 3 of 11 and only scored 6 points, while Maodore scored 8 points, Luke scored 7 points, Li Wu scored 6 points, and the bulky center Osette Kowski scored 7 points, Li Wu was the one with the fewest points, but he was the one with the highest shooting percentage, And he dished out five assists.
If the Lions players are as talented as Wisconsin, the score will not be what it looks like in front of them, the Lions players have wasted a lot of open opportunities, on the other hand, Wisconsin's Kaminsky and Decker are very efficient, both of them have scored double-doubles in the first half, and Jassel also scored 8 points, if it weren't for the fourth scoring point Kenig was put on the bench by Li Wu, Wisconsin may have scored higher.
During the long break, many spectators left the court to buy chips and drinks, but some remained seated, such as Zen master Phil Jackson and Knicks coach Derrick Fisher.
"Sir, I don't think he's like Kobe Bryant at all, if he were comparable, he would use all his weapons to make the game end in suspense in the first half, instead of passing the ball to his teammates all the time." Fisher said.
The two sat farther away, because they set their seats relatively late and couldn't book the front row, in fact, they didn't expect the Sweet Sixteen games to be so hot, and there were so many Chinese. Phil rubbed his waist with his hand and said, "It's true that he is more selfless than Kobe, and I think his attack is better than all the guards in our current lineup." ”
"Uh..... Sir, this is the NCAA, I believe you understand, the intensity of the NCAA game and the NBA is two levels, here the omnipotent players will be at a loss when they arrive in the NBA, only a very small number of talented children can adapt to the intensity of the NBA game, this Chinese child's ability to impact the basket is not even as good as when I was 38 years old, although his emergency stop, dribbling, and shooting are very distinctive, but there are many defensive experts in the NBA, and there are even many guys who are good at defending big and small, this child's weapon is just a jump shot, It's easy to be killed in the NBA! His ability to make a stop-and-go is nothing in the NBA. Fisher said.
"Will the jump shot be prevented? So can you tell me what's going on with the Hawks and Warriors this year? The Zen master looked at his unsuccessful disciple, and hated iron in his heart: "Derek, times have changed, and guards who are good at shooting and athletic will be ruthless in the future, besides.......... The potential of this child is very high. ”
No one knew that the Knicks' general manager and head coach were all watching this game, but many people knew that this game was bound to have a lot of scouts to watch, after all, there will be a lot of potential players in the NCAA's sweet sixteen.
However, as far as this game is concerned, many scouts feel a little disappointed, except for senior Kaminsky and junior Decker, there are really no commendable players, as for the Chinese player who was predicted by DraftExpress a little later in the lottery area is still as good as ever, and even some scouts feel that he deserves a lotto pick, although his shortcomings are really obvious.
But his merits are even more obvious. As for the Chinese player's teammates, none of them were able to enter the second round of the show, and many scouts felt that the Lions had little chance of winning this game, and Li Wu's order should be fixed on the edge of the lotto area, maybe lucky, to be able to enter the lotto area.
In the locker room, the Lions players were a little depressed, and Maodore even apologized to Li Wu: "Sorry, Lee, Jasser's movement speed was beyond my expectations, I was empty when you passed the ball to me, but when I raised my hand, his palm was already in front of me, so I missed a lot of balls." ”
"yes, Kaminski's guy is also very difficult to get around, those long arms always get rebounds easily, which deprives us of a second offense, and I can't use the card position to delay him, causing him to interfere with Cohen's layups a lot of times. Sorry, man. Ossetkovsky smiled sheepishly as well.
Cohen, who was taciturn, also looked at Li Wu with a little apology, not knowing what to say.
"Cheer up, lads! We haven't lost yet! Coach Smith clapped his hands and said, "They're going to use the rotation lineup soon, and we're going to use it, but Lee can still be on the court, and we can chase the points back!" ”
"That's right!" Li Wu got up from the stool and said, "Guys, in fact, you guys have done a good job, Wisconsin's strength is at least ranked 3rd this year!" But we were only nine points behind at half-time! We can still catch it back! After speaking, Li Wu glanced around at everyone and said, "Next, please give me the ball!" Let me finish the offense and end the game! Their fitness is also declining, and their bench scoring ability is not very strong! Besides, I'm going to blow that Kenig guy up! ”
As soon as Li Wu finished speaking, the backup point guard Kyle immediately jumped up: "Don't worry, Lee, I will pass the ball to you!" Let you blow up that trash-talker! ”
