Sloane, sitting in the audience, felt like he had never been so conflicted, two equally good point guards, one as sophisticated and steady as Stockton; One like Jason. Kidd is just as comprehensive.

Faced with such a difficult choice, even Sloan, who experienced the golden era of the draft in 1984, 1996, and 2003, made it difficult.

Speaking of difficulties, the Portland Trail Blazers, who sit near Sloan, are also making difficulties. Patterson's comments on Deputy General Manager John Brown. Nash said, "John, what do you think, DeLong. Williams or Sun Yue? ”

John. Nash couldn't make up his mind: "We still need to observe and observe, but I think Sun Yue, who is good at running and bombing, is still more suitable for our team." ”

Dawson, on the other side, has no such troubles, and the Rockets, who have already confirmed a playoff spot, do not have a lottery show, so they don't have to play in Delon. There is a tangle between Williams and Sun Yue, and Dawson's main target for watching the game today is Luther. Hyde, in Dawson's view, in the first half Luther. Hyde scored 8 points on 2-of-4 three-point shooting, which was already a pretty good performance.

While the management of these NBA teams was struggling with this summer's draft, halftime was over and players from both teams were back on the court, with the difference that both teams adjusted their starting lineups.

Warmongers lineup: Delon. Williams 191cm, Dee. Brown 183cm, Luther. Hyde 191cm, Lavin. Lewis 202cm, James. Augustine 208cm.

Wolverine lineup: Sun Yue 203cm, Mark 198cm, Gomez 201cm, Henderson 206cm, Taft 208cm.

Not to mention the professional personnel, even the audience on the field can see at a glance that the players on the field of the Wolverines are taller than the warmongers, especially in the backcourt combination.

In fact, the height difference between the lineup also reflects the thinking of the coaches of the two teams during the halftime break. Gross's idea is: speed up the pace of attack and defense, play more to convert the attack, use speed to make up for the height disadvantage, and at the same time, the acceleration of the offensive rhythm is also conducive to the backward side to chase points.

The Wolverines were the opposite, and Coach Tom replaced Claude with Gomez, on the one hand, to enrich the team's offense with Gomez's all-round offensive ability, and at the same time, to completely gain the upper hand in the rebounding competition.

In the second half of the game, Gomez, who had just been substituted, immediately played a role and took the lead in standing up and scoring. Brown hit a three-pointer on his head, and then he slammed into the ball and then hit Dee Brown. Brown scored a goal with an overhead hit the board.

This is the passivity that comes with a lack of height. He is only 183cm tall. Brown faced Gomez, who was a head taller than him, and was completely powerless to stop. Such a goal has seriously damaged the morale of the warmongers, and it is estimated that if they were to change to another NCAA team, they would have collapsed by now.

The core tactic of the Wolverines team with the height advantage of the lineup in the second half is to constantly impact the basket and continue to create kills, except for the retreating Mark, everyone goes to compete for the rebounds in the front court, this tactic is to curb the opponent from playing the run-and-bomb tactics through defensive counterattacks, as the pioneer of the NCAA run-and-bomb tactics, Coach Tom knows too much about the run-and-bomb tactics, so he also knows what is the most suitable way to curb the run-and-bomb tactics.

As the core of the team, Sun Yue took the lead, even if he couldn't break through Delong. Williams, too, is to shoot as far inside as possible.

At halftime, Sun Yue had already figured it out, compared with Delong, although he did not have an advantage in weight confrontation, but he had a height advantage, one-on-one defense Delong was difficult to cover his breakthrough shot, if the opponent came to help defend, he would share the ball with others, and after Gomez came on the court in the second half, the outside shooting ability of the Wolverine team improved.

The warmongers didn't give up on the game, they were still patiently passing the ball, using players to intersperse runs to score four points in a row. Brown hit a pull-back step-back jumper after a breakaway and finally hit a three-pointer in front of Gomez, and being short also has the advantage of being short, at least more flexible and agile.

The Wolverines remained unmoved, with Sun Yue and Gomez taking turns resolutely dribbling to break inside.

After the start of the second half, the Wolverines basically gave up their three-point shots. Either a breakaway layup or a mid-range shot, the Wolverine, who had a huge advantage in height, even if they didn't shoot, had offensive rebounds from Taft and Henderson plus secondary offenses.

Without defensive rebounding, the warmongers simply can't launch a quick counterattack, let alone speed up the pace of offense and defense.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, the score was 65:53, and the warmongers not only did not close the score gap, but also were further expanded by the Wolverine.

The cheers of the Wolverines fans at this time have completely overshadowed the voices of the belligerents fans, just like the advantages that their respective teams have established on the field.

"The Illinois Trinity" in addition to Delon. Williams was an eye-catcher, shooting 4-of-9 from the field for Luther. Hyde can only be said to play normally under Mark's non-stop entanglement throughout the game, and the first of the three masters, Dee. Except for the occasional bits and pieces of points, Brown bordered on sleepwalking throughout the game.

And as the end of the game drew closer, the warmongers began to look a little impatient, including the usually calm Delon. Williams tried to make a three-point shot directly outside the three-point line, but this kind of three-point shooting rate without shooting rhythm was not high, and the three-point shot was not Delon. The skills that Williams relied on to survive.

The belligerents' defense, which was a bit explosive, also began to slacken, Gomez and Henderson completed a no-ball block on the weak side, and Sun Yue passed the ball in time for another open opportunity.

But Gomez didn't take advantage of this open opportunity, and the basketball smashed out of the frame.

But after passing the ball, Sun Yue quickly whipped to the basket, and next to him was the two-meter-eighty-tall center James. Augustine, Sun Yue reacted quickly, jumped up first, and stabbed the basketball into the basket in front of Augustin.

Sun Yue's goal poured cold water on the already low morale of the warmongers, and the players of the warmongers did not expect that their team's center could not grab the opponent's point guard.

They completely ignored that the height difference between Sun Yue and Augustine was only five centimeters, but Sun Yue's arm span and bullet speed were dominant, and Sun Yue didn't have anyone stuck him when he rushed in, so Augustine couldn't be blamed entirely.

But that didn't change Sun Yue's goal to help the Wolverines extend their lead to 17 points, and at the same time blew down the fighting spirit of the warmongers.

As a result, the sluggish warmongers gradually lost the heart to resist, and the Wolverines continued to extend their lead.

In the end, the University of Michigan Wolverines ended the game with a 93-71 draw, knocking out the University of Illinois Warmongers in the semifinals.
