At 19:30 in the evening, there was still an hour and a half before the start of the "Final Four" match. The Wolverines from the University of Michigan have pulled up to the street where the University of Phoenix Arena is located, and dozens of local police officers are clearing their way for them, one of the most popular events in the United States, and the security of the NCAA Final Four is guaranteed. Both sides of the road were full of fans supporting the Wolverine, and as soon as these fans wearing Wolverine jerseys saw the team bus, they immediately burst into huge cheers, and for a time countless posters were raised, and all the fans were waving to them and making victory gestures.

Sun Yue, who was sitting on the bus, saw very clearly, most of the posters held by the fans of these Wolverines were mainly his posters, and then thinking back to the ridicule and discrimination he had experienced along the way, Sun Yue was also emotional.

Compared with tomorrow's game between Duke and North Carolina, the two teams in today's game, although they have achieved good results in the past two years, they are not traditional powerhouses in the NCAA league, and they are not as good as giants like North Carolina and Duke.

The University of Michigan won at least one NCAA national championship in 1989, while the University of Illinois has been unknown in NCAA basketball and has only shown a rise in recent years.

The charm of the final four is unstoppable, and the major sports television stations in the United States watched the match between the University of Michigan and the University of Illinois.

The auditorium at the University of Phoenix was already filled with presenters and commentators from major sports stations, reporters from the news media were reporting on the field, and many photographers were already in ambush in various corners to grab the best shooting positions.

The atmosphere is no different from an official NBA game, and this is just a semi-final.

In the audience at Phoenix Arena, there were the management of the major NBA teams, almost all the management of the NBA teams came, and the teams that didn't show up also sent scouts to gather information, because this kind of game is the best time for them to choose their favorite players.

Now that we're back in the game, the University of Illinois Warmongers outperformed them on the defensive end of the floor, basically going from runners-up in the Big Ten to the Final Four, all of them using their powerful three muskets from the outside to beat their opponents straight into a sieve. But according to the Wolverine's scouting report, the Militants' interior defense has been their weakness.

And the data shows that only 7.5% of the Warmongers' offense comes from low scores, which is at the bottom of the NCAA league. Powell is thin and lacks the figure of a low-post singles. Augustin has a tall and strong body, but he is completely any low-post singles player, just a simple interior defensive player. As a result, the militants are in the bottom 64 of the knockout round.

But the capital that the warmongers can play in the final four when they have such a lack of interior scoring is the "Illinois Three" on the outside. Williams, Luther. Hyde and Dee. Brown is their ace triumvirate, all three are guards and have one style, and the combined impact of the three is enough to overwhelm the defense of most NCAA teams

The Wolverines have not been training much these days, mainly light training to recover their strength, but everyone has watched the video of the warmongers' games. Although the warmongers were once defeated by the Wolverine, the Wolverine's coaching staff did not dare to take the opponents in the knockout stage lightly.

"Everyone is familiar with the warmongers, but I want to stress that no one can be vigilant, because although we won in the top 10 leagues and they lost once, but we won two games together to win three points, and we lost 20 points in the games we lost.

"As I've said in the past few days, the warmongers' unbalanced shooting options are our main target, and they're going to swarm inside and keep them coming and going, as long as we guard the box heavily, we're going to be able to keep them coming and going." Coach Tom arranged a three-two defense today, and the defensive tactics of the Wolverines today are to guard the paint area, protect the defensive rebound, and cut off the opponent's breakthrough passes.

Coach Tom re-emphasized the tactical setup of today's game in the players' tunnel before the start of the game, and he doesn't know how many times he has said it since he knew who he was playing against after advancing to the final four, but before the game, the head coach of any team has to emphasize these details again.

The game started quickly. With the referee's whistle, the belligerents managed to win the Wolverines in the jump ball session, and they were given the right to attack for the first time.

Today, against their old opponent Wolverine, the militants use a three-two defensive position, but such a defensive position does not necessarily mean that they will definitely play three-two joint defense, this position can only ensure the defensive strength of the outside line, although according to the data show that the scoring firepower of the Wolverine team is scattered after all, but they still rely on Sun Yue to kill the enemy to win.

So the head coach of the warmongers, John. Gross believes that as long as they strangle Sun Yue, it is equivalent to preventing most of them. So the defensive strategy of the entire warmongers team is to strangle Sun Yue.

But he never thought that Sun Yue Congdi. Brown captured his defensive setup in an interview with ESPN and spoke to Coach Tom. So today, Coach Tom unexpectedly arranged the team's plan to start the main attack on the inside, and the Wolverines want to use Taft's deterrent power on the inside to press the warmongers to shrink the defense line and create space for the outside attack.

In the three minutes of the game, Taft launched an offensive line on the inside, using a back-to-back single and a strong attack on the face frame to score six points in a row on the inside, and he did complete the team's tactical requirements and opened up the situation on the inside.

The Wolverines relied on Taft to attack on the inside after the opening, while the warmongers relied on Luthor after the opening. Hyde's outside shot, Luther. Hyde opened the game with a simple pick-and-roll combination, dodged a little gap, and then shot without hesitation, and successfully hit the first three-pointer for the belligerents.

This was followed by DeLong in the offensive segment. Williams scored on a pass-turned, jumper.

On one side of the audience, Dawson, the general manager of the Houston Rockets, said to Morey, assistant general manager: "I think this Luther. Hyde is a great fit for us, we've got Tracy and Yao, and a top "catch and shoot" pitcher like Hyde is a great fit for our system, and I'm sure Jeff will love him as well. ”

Morey, who was next to him, did not answer, apparently not very approving with Dawson's proposal.
