On Nov. 29, the main game of the round will be held in the stadium, with the Duke University Blue Devils facing the University of Kansas City Pine Eagles.

The Pine Eagles have a long history and a brilliant record. Its first basketball coach was the inventor of the game: James Nesmith.

He has won the NCAA Championship 3 times in history and has cultivated many well-known NBA stars, the most famous of which are "Basketball Emperor" Wilt Chamberlain and "Truth" Paul Pearce.

Wiggins, like Parker, is a player who has the ability to compete for the top three picks in next year's NBA Draft.

For this live broadcast, ESPN sent former Warriors coach Mark Jackson, former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy, and legendary commentator Mike Brin to broadcast the game live.

Mike Brin sat down on the stage and said, "Welcome to ESPN's live broadcast!" Both teams have won all of their streaks so far, but today one is destined to end their winning streak. Is it Duke University or the University of Kansas City? Let's wait and see. “

"Duke University is the No. 3 seed in the Mid-Southwest Division this year, and the University of Kansas City is the No. 2 seed in the South Division. Judging from the seeding position, although Duke University has the strength to win the championship this year, people are more optimistic about the University of Kansas City. Duke's core small forward Jabari Parker has the ability to contend for the top pick in next year's draft, but the University of Kansas City's small forward Andrew. Wiggins, too, is a favorite player who can compete with Parker for next year's NBA No. 1 pick. In addition to Wiggins, the Pine Hawks interior line Embiid, Blake, and Ellis are all players who have the quality to participate in next year's draft. Compared to Duke University, this year's Pine Eagles are more balanced inside and out, and have a greater hope of winning the championship! ”

Bugmac Jackson also said: "But Duke is not without a chance to win, Duke is weak on the inside and needs enough firepower from the outside. The three musketeers, Parker, Hood and Cook, had previously averaged 56 points per game. If Duke wants to win this game, it will be up to the three to play to their strengths and bring the game into their own rhythm. ”

As they introduced the basic information of the two teams, the referee blew the whistle for the game.

The three commentators immediately stopped the discussion, and Brin said: "The game starts soon, let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides. The visiting team's Duke University starting lineup is point guard: Quinn Cook, point guard: Rodney Hood, small forward: Jabari Parker, power forward: Vince Law, center: Amili Jefferson. This is their regular lineup, and it should be trying to use the outside line to break down the Pine Eagles. ”

Van Gundy Jr. also said: "Let's look at the Pine Hawks' starters: point guard: Vinnie Shelton, point guard: Wayne Selden, small forward: Andrew Wiggins, power forward: Perry Ellis, center: Joel Embiid. They replaced Blake and put Embiid in the starting lineup, and it seems that they are going to attack the Blue Devils with the inside! ”

As the referee's whistle blew, the basketball was thrown high in the air, and Embiid overwhelmingly grabbed the ball for the Kansas City Pine Eagles.

Wiggins dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Embiid ran inside to grab the position.

After Mason Plumlee entered this year's NBA Draft, Duke became weak on the inside and could only rely on 2.08 Amily Jefferson. Although he is active in defending and rebounding in the restricted area, he is limited by his height and is prone to blowing losses on the inside.

Jefferson couldn't do anything in the face of Embiid, who is 2.13 meters tall and stronger than himself.

As soon as he saw Embiidka's main position, Wiggins quickly passed the ball over.

After receiving the ball, Embiid dribbled with his back and pushed it to the basket, turned around and jumped up to dunk and score.

It's simple and crude, but it works very well.

Kansas City University took advantage of Embiid's advantage on the inside, and Embiid scored on consecutive offenses on the inside.

With six minutes and 17 seconds left, Duke was 16-25 and nine points behind.

Old K could only call a timeout.

At the timeout, Brin sighed during the live commentary, "Embiid is really a center with a lot of potential, and he is the one who has performed the best during this time, and he has brought great help to the Pine Hawks on both offensive and defensive ends!" ”

Van Gundy Jr. also said: "Yes, although the technique is rough now, his height of 2.13 and his strong body make him a potential top center, and if he polishes it, he has the strength to compete for the top three picks in next year's draft!" ”

Jackson nodded and said, "Old K needs to take measures to limit the inside line of the Pine Eagles!" ”

Old K held the tactics board and drew with a marker, explaining the tactics loudly.

"We can't let Embiid do whatever he wants on the inside, we use two-three defense, Jabari you go to the inside to assist Jefferson, and Embiid takes a front and a trap. At the same time, strengthen the defense under the basket and the baseline, as well as the scramble for rebounds. ”

"Cook and Hood, you keep an eye on the outside players. Hood: I need you to strangle Wiggins, get it? He must not be allowed to score! ”

"Everybody run, speed up the tempo, speed up the pass, speed up, OK?"

Old K stretched out his hand and shouted, "One, two, three, Blue Devil!"

All the Blue Devils players put their hands together and shouted, "Blue Devils!"

At the end of the timeout, Parker dribbled the ball to the front court, had no suitable chance, and passed the ball to Hood.

Although Wayne Selden has rough skills and a single offensive means, he basically scores by making a layup and dunk after a break. But the physical fitness of the person is called a stick, tall and strong, fast, strong jumping ability, and more importantly, he defends well.

Hood's shot was defended by Wayne Selden and hit the iron.

Switching offense and defense, Embiid continued to jam Jefferson on the inside.

Jefferson went around the front and prevented him from receiving the ball.

Wiggins saw the ball hoisted into the box, and Embiid carded Jefferson with one hand while moving his body backwards to catch the ball under the basket.

Parker, who had been waiting on the sidelines, flew to grab the ball, and Duke immediately launched a fast attack.

Cook receives a pass from Parker and makes a layup.

Kansas City City head coach Bill Servef, although not as famous as the old K, is also a famous coach in the NCAA.

Bill Seff has long been prepared for other teams to use two-to-three defenses to limit Kansas City's interior advantage.

Standing on the sidelines of the pitch, Bill Celf shouted loudly to remind the players.

Selden and Shelton heard the rush to the bottom corner of both sides, leading the defenders to a test.

Wiggins held the ball at the top of the arc to face Hood, dribbled in succession, dodged his opponent, and slotted the ball in before Vince Law could make a save.

Old K stood on the sidelines of the court and yelled at Hood, "Strengthen the defense against Wiggins, hear me, strengthen the defense against Wiggins!" ”

Parker misses a shot, and Kansas fights back.

The Duke team quickly returned, and Kansas saw that there was no suitable opportunity and fell back into positional warfare.

Embiid asked for the ball inside, attracted defenders, and then passed the ball out.

Parker needed to help defend in the penalty area and couldn't run out, so he had to let Hood turn the defense.

Hood's defense was poor, and Wiggins scored on a driving layup at the top of the arc.

The second and third joint defense is most afraid that the opponent has players who can be inside and outside at the top of the arc.

Every time the Rockets played Jazz, why it worked so hard was because Oku and Kirilenko were sandwiched, Yao Ming couldn't attack, the Rockets' big forwards Howard and Hayes couldn't shoot accurately, and small forward Battier only had three points in the bottom corner. There is no one at the top of the arc, near the free throw line to connect the inside and outside.

It wasn't until the arrival of Scola, who could be inside and out, that the Rockets really solved the problem of two-three defense. It's a pity that Yao Ming retired not long after he was injured at that time.

Wiggins is the heart of the Kansas team because he is versatile, capable of inside and out, and can also connect inside and outside through his passing.

The opponent defends the shot, Wiggins bursts. The opponent defended the breakout, and he throws.

Bag clip, Wiggins passes.

Lao K knew it, so he repeatedly told Hood to pay attention to Wiggins' defense, but Hood's defense disappointed him.

If it weren't for Parker and Cook's four three-pointers, which supported the team's offense and clenched the score, otherwise the Duke team would have surrendered a long time ago.

The situation is critical, and Lao K calls a short timeout.

But the effect of the pause is completely useless.

Hood's inaction, all the heavy responsibility fell on Parker, defending the interior line, organizing the offense, Parker showed the strength and role of the team's core.

But Hood's defense was a waste of his hard work.

As soon as one was scored, Wiggins replied with one.

Duke has been struggling to catch up, but the margin has widened.

At halftime, Wiggins scored two more points on Hood's head, 38-52, and now the margin has widened to 14 points.

At halftime, ESPN took the opportunity to discuss the game.

Mark Jackson said: "Duke didn't play well, their offense didn't show up at all, and they only scored 35 points at halftime, which is probably the lowest score of the season for Duke. Defensively, they also gave the Kansas team too many chances, Wiggins scored 21 points alone, and if Duke University didn't stop Wiggins, I'm afraid Wiggins would go crazy in this game! ”

Van Gundy Jr. nodded in affirmation, "Parker has done what he can, but one person can't sustain the whole team. He needed help, and Hood was terrible, both defensively and offensively. Defensively, he gave Wiggins too many chances. Under Selden's defense, Hood is afraid that he won't even be able to find the basket! 0-of-6 shooting, no scores, no assists. I think Lao K needs to make adjustments, otherwise this game can end early! ”

"In the opinion of the two of them, how does Duke need to adjust to limit each other......"

Jackson and Van Gundy Jr. were busy explaining their opinions.

In the locker room, Hood ushered in the roar of the old K: "How many points do you want to let the opponent score?" In the first half, you let the opponent score 21 points in the first half. Do you want the other party to get 50 points? Kill the game directly! ”

Hood had a gloomy face, but he didn't dare to say a word, after all, his performance was too bad, the opponent asked for it on his head in the first half, but he shot 0 of 6, no scores, no assists, and contributed 3 fouls.

This statistic makes it impossible for him to refute the coach at all.

Old K roared angrily and turned his head to look at the bench. only to find that there is no suitable player to replace.

Zhang Zifeng saw Lao K's searching gaze, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Coach, let me go!" I promise I'll do my best to limit each other! ”

Opportunities are for yourself!
