The Trojans vs. the Spartans

"The Fiercest Battle in the Midwest"

"The Strongest Rebounding Team VS the Strongest Offensive Team, Who Wins and Who Loses!! 》

With the progress of "Crazy March" has now entered the "climax" stage, the enthusiasm for basketball in the whole country is also intensifying, and the whole Mei is hotly discussing various schools and teams, and the upcoming round of 16 to advance to the top 8 is the top priority, and various newspapers have also reported on the games.

The media is also reporting to attract the attention of the masses, this year's USC has become the biggest dark horse, the word NCAA since its inception has never had a championship temperament of the team, not only shouted before the rhetoric to win the championship, but also at the beginning of the game to show its unrivaled offensive power, invincible.

The emergence of the dark horse means that more people will lose the spinach they buy, and they will be able to make more money, and their eyes will turn to the game.

"Our opponent today is the Michigan State Spartans."

"I don't think I need to say much about their reputation, you all know that."

On the 28th, before the start of the game, in the Trojans lounge in the Lucas Oil Basketball Arena in Indianapolis, coach Floyd was explaining what to his teammates.

"This year's strength is extraordinary, they can be said to be the strongest in the Central and Western Divisions, and the lineup is a little bit against us, of course, this is only one-sided, if you only look at the lineup, then don't play."

"First of all, we can say that we have set the best record in recent years, and now we have a brilliant step forward, although we want to win the championship, but you don't have to feel pressured to play."

"This year's Michigan State is a bit lacking in starlight, their sophomore Carlin Lucas and fourth-year center Glenn Schuton are the more eye-catching players on the team, Jerome is looking at you today, senior Travis Wharton has a mature style of play, excellent conditioning and excellent defense, and is the best defensive player of the year in the Big Ten League. Dreyer Summers on the bench is their sixth man of the year. ”

"Their coach Izzo has always built his game plan around rushing for rebounds, so their rebounding is excellent, and for the Spartans, grabbing rebounds on the court is their top priority. In the last 15 games, the Spartans have averaged just 58 points per game. When they can control the rebounds in the game, the team's defense is quite formed, which is why Michigan is so difficult to beat. If this team can control the tempo and play the defensive performance they are at present, it will be difficult for us to beat them today. ”

"So the biggest tactical pressure today is the inside, Jerome, you have to jam Glenn Sutton, don't let him have a good rebounding position easily, lead him out when he attacks, I believe he won't dare to let you go. Ty's rebounds are handed over to you today, don't want to be more than the Spartans but can't lose too much, and you should also pay attention to protecting the rebounds from the outside. ”

"Victor, Demar, you have a lot of offensive pressure today, the two backcourt defenses on the opposite side are good, especially Travis Wharton, Demar you have to contain him more to leave space for Victor, if they change defenses, Demar you have to show the strength of the team's scoring champion, fight Trojans." Floyd clapped his palms vigorously and cried out.

"Winning !!" The crowd shouted in response.

The same scene was playing out in the lounge on the other side, with NCAA coach Tom Izo also doing pre-game coaching.

"Travis, you're going to lock up DeMar DeRozan at USC today, Carlin teaches that freshman what the power of the core is, Gran blows up their interior line, Dreyer Summers I need your score, our goal this year is to --- Detroit." As he spoke, Coach Izzo independently wrote Detroit's name on the blackboard with chalk.

This year's NCAA Finals will be held at Ford Arena in Detroit.

Today's Huang is a little silent because he is adjusting his state and spirit. He is under a lot of pressure today, his teammates on the inside line are estimated to be able to pass the test, and his base friend DeRozan has met the opponent again, today he not only has to regulate the team's offense, but also strengthen his offense to open up the situation, and he also happens to be the same type of player as himself, his pressure can be imagined.

The game is about to begin, and the players from both teams are also on the field, and the lineup is as predicted by many people.

USC: Huang Weiwei, DeRozan, Christian, Gibson, Jerome, or the old lineup, after all, maintaining stability is the most important thing now, and it is not yet time to make a surprise move.

Michigan State: Glenn Sutton (center), Remar Morgan (power forward), Delvin Lowe (small forward), Travis Wharton (shooting guard), Carlin Lucas (point guard), the Spartans lineup is the same.

The big game is about to begin, the players take their positions, and the players who jump the ball enter the center circle.

"Beep!" With a whistle, the referee runs the ball into the air and the game begins.

In the face of the Spartan's short and fat center, Jerome showed his bounce ability and dismissed the ball from the backcourt, and Huang only easily got the ball.

Holding the ball and advancing, coming to the front court one step away from the three-point line, Huang only used Gibson's blocking to directly attack the opponent's penalty area, the opponent switched defense, after attracting the opponent's attention, Huang only did not attack by himself, and passed the ball back to Gibson who was at the free throw line at this time.

Gibson made the best choice against Carlin Lucas, who had shortened himself in half, and made a dry shot. The height of 185cm is a bit difficult to interfere with Gibson's height of 206cm, but unfortunately the start is not very good, and the iron is struck.

The rebound was taken by the opponent, and Carlin Lucas is the core scoring and assist leader of Michigan State, and for this opponent, Huang is very cautious defensively. Of course, even so, Huang Wei didn't immediately play any close defense, but gave the opponent half a step of space, mainly to prevent breakthroughs, even if the opponent has a certain projection ability, but the opponent's most powerful is the ability to break through quickly.

In the face of Huang, Carlin did not attack by himself, but gave the ball to the center of the interior Gran Sutton, and after a muscular collision, Gran Suton finally squeezed into the restricted area, and a turnaround shot scored two points for Michigan University.

"Bump!" After being scored by the opponent first, Huang Wei was naturally unwilling to fall behind, and once again turned around and went to the outside line after entering the restricted area with the help of Gibson's blocking, stirring up the opponent's defense a little messy, and passing the ball back to Gibson again, but this time Gibson's position was not near the free throw line, but had moved to the restricted area, and after receiving the ball, he dunked on the spot, and the score was tied.

To be continued!
