Chapter 156: Impregnable
Donovan looked at the situation on the field, his brows furrowed. It's not that he hasn't studied Colorado's tactical style before, and it took a lot of time, he has always thought that this is a team that is stronger than defensive, and has long planned to sacrifice the team's good defense to grind the opponent to death. Well...... It seems that this is also a guy who will do anything for the sake of victory.
But what he didn't expect was that people didn't play with you at all after they came on the court, the pace was extremely slow, and the defense was even more tenacious, Donovan even thought that all the players in Colorado State, including the head coach, had been transferred, otherwise how could they compare defensive tactics with their own team? Donovan said that he had only heard of the attack, the defense? What the hell is that?
Contrary to his grimace, McKay was eager to dance right in front of the bench, oblivious to how ugly the team's current play was. Chang Wei couldn't stand it anymore, but fortunately, the players had a slow rhythm and a slow pace, and the shooting rate was very good, although they often pressed the offensive time to 30 seconds later, but as long as they could score, it would be no problem.
However, the University of Florida is not a vegetarian, and this is not the first time they have played this slow-paced offensive play, and the shooting percentage is not much worse than that of Colorado State. The only regret is that Miller's three-point shot is obviously not as skilled as Korver, and neither of them is a very good player in single defense.
The difference between the two sides is widening little by little, although it is only one or two points each time, but after the accumulation of small amounts, even Donovan, who has always been calm, has become not very good-looking. So he quickly replaced Nelson while his opponent hadn't extended the margin to double digits, wanting to be caught off guard by playing Colorado like he did in the previous game.
But Nelson was particularly sad to play against Palesio, who moved from the No. 2 position to the No. 1 position, and he didn't suffer anything when he played point guard, and now it's not easy to deal with an orthodox point guard?
Nelson's first offensive with the ball was coldly stolen by Palesio, if it weren't for Weeks' feet to return to the defense in time, Palesio would have gone straight to the fast layup, despite this, the ball still fell into the hands of Colorado State, and finally West used the basket footsteps to score a ball, expanding the difference between the two sides to 9 points.
Seeing that the point difference was about to reach double digits, Nelson was anxious and took the ball directly to the front court. This time he was not tackled by Palesio, and he played a trick very coquettishly, and in the blink of an eye, he hit the inside. Just as he was about to go to the basket, a big hand came out from the side and tried to block him directly, so scared that Nelson threw the ball directly to the bottom corner of the weak side.
It was Miller who received the ball, but because of the interference, Nelson's pass was very substandard, and if it weren't for Miller's good control of his body, the basketball would have flown straight out of the sideline. Although Miller received the ball, Korver, who was in charge of marking him, had already posted it, and anyway, there were only six or seven seconds left in the offensive time, so it would be good to prevent you from violating the rules.
Miller's individual ability is not very strong, at least not to the extent that he will play in the NBA in the future. In the face of Korver's defense, he couldn't get the ball out for a while, and what was worse was that the other players in Florida were also watched one by one, and he couldn't even pass the ball. Seeing that the offensive time was approaching, Miller leaned back regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, carved out a little space, jumped directly and turned around to throw the ball, completely ignoring Korver's defense.
Seeing Miller's unreliable shot, the three-second zone suddenly became a mess, and everyone was trying to mobilize every ounce of strength in their bodies, trying to squeeze their opponents away and grab a better position. However, after the basketball knocked on the basket, it fell into it tremblingly, and the interior players on both sides were stunned, this ball actually had no rebound? Soon the expressions of the two sides became very different, with the Florida players beaming with joy and the Colorado players looking as if they had beeped the dogs.
Chang Wei also slapped his thigh fiercely and scolded a dirty word. There was no problem with Colorado's defense in this round, especially Korver, although the opponent didn't pass the ball well, but he also really stuck Miller in the bottom corner, but he didn't expect the opponent to hit a lucky ball directly, which was a big blow to his defensive enthusiasm.
However, to Chang Wei's surprise, Korver just shook his head regretfully, and ran directly to the front court, obviously intending to return the other party. I didn't expect this kid to be in a pretty good state of mind now, and it seems that he didn't spend any money on him...... Chang Wei thought to himself while touching his chin, but in the eyes of the fans, this girl is a psychopath. It's obvious that your team was scored by someone else, and you still look very cool, isn't there some shady deal in private?
Actually, there are no private deals, but Anser Ball does. When it was Colorado's turn to attack, Palesio forced another twenty seconds at the top of the arc, called West to play a block, and killed Haslem inside. However, Haslem was also really tough, forcing Palesio's speed down through physical contact, forcing him to pass the ball outside the three-point line, coincidentally in the same position in the weak bottom corner.
Compared to Nelson's previous dynamite-throwing passes, Palesio's pass looked pleasing to the eye, and the height was just enough to be easily copied by Korver. Without waiting for Miller to defend it, Korver didn't even adjust, and threw the ball in with a brazen jump, and it was a beautiful hollow, at least a notch higher than the Florida one.
Although the Colorado state was a simple match, the fans still responded to the deafening cheers of Korver's accurate three-point shot, but he just high-fived his teammates and ran back to his own half to prepare for the next round of defense. His performance made Chang Wei nod again and again, he was not arrogant or discouraged when he was victorious, maybe this kid could mix better than in his previous life?
Next, the two sides also played back and forth with one goal and one goal, and the score difference never reached double digits, which also made Chang Wei secretly surprised in his heart, it seems that the University of Florida still has two brushes. At halftime, the difference between the two sides was still 9 points, and the Colorado State temporarily led 34-25, but as long as you look at the statistics, you can see how slow these two teams played, and the two teams combined to make less than 30 shots in the first 20 minutes of the first half, which is simply fatal!
