Chapter 55: The Enemy Strikes (3)

"Smack!" The basketball was driven back from the outside by Sun Yue, who directly fanned out the bottom line. Sun Yue showed dominance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends at the beginning of the game.

"Smiling Boy" Corey. The smile on Brewer's face was also gone, and a smooth and simple offense from the University of Florida was also ruined by Sun Yue.

Billy. Donovan crouched on the sidelines with his hands crossed, not without the idea of a timeout, but he believed that his players would not be easily defeated by the predicament in front of him.

Sure enough, the alligator team did not lose its rules because the offense was covered by Sun Yue. Lee asked for the ball to play alone, he first slammed it with his butt, then a swift half-turn forced Henderson, who was defending him, to take two steps back, and when everyone thought he was going to cut to the basket, he jumped up and threw the ball firmly into the basket to score two points for the Crocodiles.

The Wolverines did not continue to grab serves, and the main offensive strategy given by Coach Tom to the Wolverines today is not to play artillery tactics, Sun Yue and Taft's high blocking and dismantling and the rest of the team keep running back and cutting, which is still their first choice, unless the alligator team has an excellent response to this offensive method, they will not take the initiative to give up this offensive method, after all, the bombardment tactics are too much for the physical exertion of the players.

However, the Crocodiles' pick-and-roll attack against the Wolverines was indeed more prepared than the previous three eliminated teams, thanks to the head coach of the Crocodiles, Billy Brown. Donovan, after knowing that the next round was coming up against the Wolverine, he watched a lot of footage of the Wolverine's game.

After some hard thinking, he deliberately prepared a countermeasure to defend the Wolverine's pick-and-roll offense: that is, the players who were required to squeeze through the cover when defending the pick-and-roll on the defensive end. At the same time, it requires the tacit understanding of the players' change of defense and defense, and if the outside players are really blocked by cover, the change of defense on the inside line is also more timely.

It's not enough to have defensive tactics alone, but also to have the physical fitness to execute defensive tactics. The Florida team has such physical talent. First of all, they have excellent strength and confrontation ability, which allows them to squeeze past the covering players when the Wolverines block and dismantle.

Secondly, the explosiveness of these perverted guys is outstanding, which allows them to get around the covering players in time and get back in front of the attacking players.

Sun Yue faced the defense of the alligator team, and did not get too good scoring opportunities through blocking and dismantling several times. Lee and Al. Horford's defense was extremely fast, and in the end, Sun Yue could only end up with a pass to his teammates. Neither Mark nor Taft hit Sun Yue's pass to the ball, and for a while, the Wolverine's best pick-and-roll offense became no longer invincible today.

Seven or eight minutes were played in the first half, and the shooting percentages of both teams were in a dilemma of continuous hitting iron, except for a few goals at the beginning. The score went up a little bit in half a day, but the rebounds of the players of the two teams went up!

In such a short time, Sun Yue has grabbed 4 rebounds, including a frontcourt rebound. But to say that the Wolverines can have the upper hand in the rebounding race, it is not to say. Although the average height of the Wolverine team is a little higher than that of the previous alligator, the physical fitness of the people makes up for the height gap, whether it is in the competition for rebounding in the front court or in the protection of rebounding in the back court, it is very good, and the Wolverine team does not take any advantage.

At 11:30 of the first half, the Alligators were in the game of David. Lee had another successful solo win to give a four-point lead over the Wolverines at 18:14.

Narrator Kenny. Smith couldn't help but say: "I think the Wolverines should come up with their bombardment tactics at this point, their core skipper didn't sweat much in the first half, and now it's time for him to lead the Wolverine's lads to run." ”

Kenny. Before Smith's words could be finished, Coach Tom called a timeout, and he seemed to hear Kenny. Smith's words were the same, and Gomez was replaced in the first half by David. Lee taught Henderson several times, and the Wolverine's on-court lineup at this time was: Sun Yue, Reims, Mark, Gomez, and Taft. This is a "big and four small" lineup, the Wolverine's players on the field are in addition to the center Taft, and the tallest player left is actually Sun Yue, who is two meters and three meters tall, which is almost clear to tell the opponent that I am going to play artillery tactics.

Now that the Wolverines are down in the score, Coach Tom is trying to open up the game with a rather risky lineup.

The game restarted, and Sun Yue took advantage of Taft's cover to cut directly from the top of the arc after receiving the ball, attracting the attention of the opponent's inside. But under the strict defense of the opponent, Sun Yue did not find any chance.

The Alligators' men rotate extremely quickly, always forming a pack in the right place, but without creating large gaps, and their defensive formation will change as the opponent's ball shifts, and any defensive holes will be filled in immediately. Their defense is like a moving steel city, where you can move freely in the non-threatening zone, but if you want to enter the danger zone, there is no door.

There is no way for Sun Yue to pass the ball to Gomez at the three-point line, and there is not much time left for the offense. Li De directly pulled up the jump shot under the defense.

This kind of difficult long-distance shooting is really difficult for Gomez, who has just come on the court, "Bah", the ball smashed into the front of the basket, and the rebound was guarded by Al under the basket. Horford is in the bag.

Back on the defensive end, Sun Yue signaled to Gomez that the shot he had just made was a good shot, and applauded vigorously to motivate the players to go on defense. "Keep-moving, keep-moving! Don't let the opponent stand there and receive the ball comfortably! Pressure them, put pressure on them! Sun Yue couldn't help but encourage the opponent in words, and at the same time he stubbornly entangled the opponent's point guard Tao Lin in action. Green.

The members of the Wolverine team, inspired by Sun Yue, began to frantically pounce on them and engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat with their opponents.

In the face of the Wolverine's frantic defense, the alligator players began to have difficulty even dribbling, let alone moving the ball and running tactics.

The tactics could not be executed, and the crocodiles had to give the ball to their core player, David. Lee, let him handle the ball.

But now David. Lee couldn't have been as easy as he had been at the beginning, because it was Gomez, the most experienced of the Wolverines, who defended him. David. Despite his excellent physical attributes, Lee prefers to rely on basketball skills rather than his own physicality, and when he started facing Henderson, his beautiful footwork and feints helped him score frequently.

But when Gomez came up, he didn't eat David at all. Lee's feints, what he did was interfere, interfere and interfere, but he didn't foul and never jumped around.
