Chapter Seventy-Seven: Marven. Williams
"Bang." It was Marven who rushed over. Williams, with his long arms, gave Gomez, who was caught off guard, a big hat.
In fact, Gomez had already seen Marvin when he broke through. Williams, but at that time Marvin. Williams was still far away from him, and he didn't think about Marvin at all. Williams was so quick to get over and cover his own layup.
Sun Yue, who was standing at the top of the arc, saw very clearly that when Gomez broke through, Marven. Williams had already begun to lean towards the basket, and when Gomez was blocked by Felton next to him when he made a layup, he caught up with two steps to block Gomez's layup.
This side of Rashad. McCantz continued his excellent touch, using the shaking to get rid of Mark's defense and shoot straight at the free-throw line.
Although he is no longer the No. 1 scorer of the Tar Heel Team, he can still stand up at any time when the team needs to score.
Now that the Tar Heels team's defense has changed to man-to-man, in the face of Princeton's improved tactics with Sun Yue as the organization's forward, man-to-man is the safest defensive strategy.
But the man-to-man defense of the Tar Heel Team is not a completely simple man-to-man defense, and the difference between it and ordinary man-to-man defense is that once Taft has the intention of falling into a low single, Marven. Williams and Rashard. McCantz was ready to go around the front and prevent Taft from receiving the ball on the front.
If Sun Yue passes the ball directly to Taft, there will be Javad in the three-second zone. Williams was always ready to pounce and make up for it.
The Wolverines saw the tar heels use man-marking again, and Gomez made a decisive run to the left low post, and he used Taft's cover to go around the baseline to the left waist.
But Rashad . McCantz squeezed in front of Gomez before Sun Yue's pass and blocked Gomez's receiving route with his body.
Sun Yue tried several times to pass the ball but was unsuccessful, because the space for Gomez to receive the ball was too small. If you risk passing through, there is a high chance of being intercepted.
So Sun Yue turned the ball to Lance at the top of the arc. For this one transfer, Rashad who has been clinging to Gomez. McCantz's attention was also diverted, and Gomez suddenly turned around and went straight inside, because the ball was diverted, and the route of the pass was also changed. McCantz's defense around the front was naturally ineffective.
Reims understood and directly made a high through ball and passed the ball to Gomez, who cut in.
Lance is not a point guard who is good at passing, and is keen to attack with the ball himself, but this year, under the influence of Sun Yue, or a heart like chasing Sun Yue, his passing level and basketball awareness have improved greatly, and it is not a problem to pass this accurate high-hanging through ball.
As soon as Gomez got the ball, he saw Marvin who was making up the defense. Williams was two steps away from him, and regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, he dribbled to the edge of the three-second zone, because his last shot was capped, and decided to end the attack with a toss this time.
Gomez's throw was a little too impatient, apparently Marvin. Williams' block just now affected his mood, and he used a position that he didn't use often to end the offense, completely underestimating Marvin. Williams' speed of defense and reflexes.
Marvin. Seeing that Gomez had already made a move, Williams rushed forward, leaping up like an eagle towards the basketball fan flying in the air.
"Bang." Slapped the basketball out in the air, this is already Marvin. Williams' second block, the victim is still Gomez.
Before the Tar Heel fans had time for Marvin. Williams applauded for his outstanding performance, and basketball had fallen to Raymond. In Felton's hands, he dribbled and launched a quick counter-attack.
The Wolverines teammates struggled to get back to the defense, but Raymond. Felton gave the ball to Marvin, who followed up into the box. Williams, at this time crossed Marvin. In the middle of Williams and the basket is only Wolverine's shortest Lance.
Face Marvin. Williams was held high, and Lance was powerless to parry, so he could only use fouls to stop Marvin powerlessly. Williams, send opponents to the free throw line.
"Marven, well done." The teammates of the tar heel have gone up with Marven. Williams high-fives, which is already Marvin. Williams gave Gomez a big hat for the second time, and the momentum of the entire tar heel team suddenly rose, and the opposite Wolverines team had already run out of tactics and opportunities, and this kind of ball was covered by the opponent and affected the team's morale even more.
In an inconspicuous corner of the auditorium at the University of Phoenix Coliseum, Atlanta Hawks general manager Billy Knight and the team's head coach Terry Stotts were whispering, "Marvin. Williams' talent is truly jaw-dropping, he has excellent defensive ability and a well-rounded offensive approach, and we can try to bet on his talent. ”
This year, the Atlanta Hawks' record has been declining, and as of now it is 13-69, which is already the lowest in the league, and it is very likely to get this year's top pick, so they attach great importance to their draft this year, and the team's management also hopes to rely on this year's draft to change the team's decline in one fell swoop.
Billy Knight shook his head and said: "No matter who gets the top pick, I believe they will choose the Australian center, after all, you have to be on the inside to win the world." ”
Billy Knight and Terry Stotts refer to the Australian center named Andrew Bogut, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, and led the Australian national youth basketball team to the 2003 FIBA World Junior Championship and was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player.
As a rookie at the University of Utah in 2003-04, he averaged 12.5 points and 9.9 rebounds per game in his rookie season as the best rookie in the West Mountain league. That summer, he became the main center of the Australian national team at the 2004 Summer Olympics, averaging 14.8 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 58.0% from the field.
Bogut exploded in his second season at the University of Utah, averaging 20.4 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.8 blocks per game on 62.0% shooting.
Combining the feel of a European player with the tough style of an American, Bogut is a true low-post warrior, his footwork under the basket is very skillful, the turn is agile and powerful, he can shoot with both left and right hands, as well as excellent passing ability and wide field vision, as well as good lateral movement speed in defense and strong defensive ability under the basket, and is unanimously favored by various draft experts and NBA team management to become this year's top pick.
