Perhaps it was Coach K's speech that played a role, and Duke was like an initiation in the next game, winning consecutive battles. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info has won 5 games in a row after defeating the University of Iowa in the Big 10 Division.

During the five-game winning streak, Williams played a central role steadily, averaging 21.6 points, 4.8 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game. As the game deepened, Yang Long also gained more and more playing time, and gradually became familiar with the rhythm of the whole game, after 5 games, the average of 7.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game Although Yang Long could not satisfy himself, he was finally a qualified substitute.

Next, the Duke Blue Devils will host Clemson University, the first opponent of the new season in the same division, at the Cameron Indoor Basketball Arena.

After the baptism of old Coach K's anger last time, Yang Long developed the habit of studying his opponent.

Clemson's main point guard is Edward Scott, who is 185 cm tall and weighs 75 kg. After last season's team boss Will Solomon entered the NBA with the fourth pick in the second round, Edward became the absolute core of Clemson. As a white point guard, Edward's physical fitness is not outstanding, and he is often at a disadvantage in confrontations, which also leads to his inconsistent shooting percentage, which can only barely reach 40%. But what allowed Edward to gain a foothold was his superb basketball IQ, which led the division with 7.8 assists per game in the previous games.

According to Edward's characteristics, Yang Long has already thought of a defensive strategy, aggressive defense interferes with his shot percentage, and then pays attention to blocking his passing routes.

After the morning training camp, Coach K disbanded the team. Because it was a home game, Yang Long came to the stadium to warm up alone on the eve of the game.

There were already a lot of enthusiastic fans in the arena, dressed in blue and white Duke jerseys, and they were ready to cheer for Duke. With the school's student ID, Duke students can enter the game for free, but outsiders will have to pay for tickets.

Obviously, for Duke fans, Yang Long's face is still relatively unfamiliar. First, because he's not an American player, and secondly, because he's only missed a meeting at home once. In that game, Yang Long came off the bench and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, which can be said to be not very impressive.

But this does not mean that there is no Yang Long fan in the audience, and there are some local fans in the United States who are full of curiosity about the mysterious Yang Long.

"Yang Long, come on!"

Following the voice, Yang Long saw Chen Hao and others on the sidelines, as long as they had time, they would go to the scene to cheer Yang Long. Under Chen Hao's organization, Yang Long has an objective number of Chinese fan groups, and they are Yang Long's strong backing.

Free throws, dribbling, mid-range shots, three-pointers, and by the time his teammates came to the court, Yang Long had completely warmed up.

The fans at the scene have also changed from 23 out of 10 when Yang Long first arrived to the present to be full now.

"We've won five games in a row, and now we're six, 1! 2！ 3！ Let's go! Williams led his teammates through the pre-match encouragement ceremony.

Duke maintained his starting lineup for the start of the season.

Clemson University:

Point Guard: Edward Scott, Shooting Guard: Tony Stoker; Small forward: Jamal McClay; Power Forward: Chris Hubers; Centre: Ray Henderson.

Beep! The competition has officially begun.

Ray is a 203-centimeter-tall stout interior lineman, and Boozer used his height and agility to win the jumper, which I remember was the first time Boozer had won the jump ball this season......

Dujon organized an attack at the top of the arc, Boozer pulled out after blocking and dismantling in the high position, Dujon fed the ball directly, Boozer hit a jumper and took down the opener!

Yang Long carefully observed the performance of Du Hong and the opposing point guard Edward on the court, he is a player in the same position as them, and learning their performance on the court can benefit Yang Long a lot.

Overall, Duke has a strength advantage, especially in one-on-one ability, Clemson is far inferior. There is not a single star in the true sense of the word in Clemson as a whole.

But Clemson also has their characteristics, that is, everyone is a soldier, and everyone contributes their own strength, so they still fought back and forth with Duke at the beginning.

On the field, Edward advanced to the top of the arc with the ball, and played blocking and dismantling tactics with center Ray. After blocking and dismantling, Du Hong quickly chose to follow up in front of him, but Edward ambushed a hand in a place where Du Hong was out of sight, and Du Hong crashed into Edward without paying attention after going around the front, and Edward fell to the ground!

Beep! The referee awarded Dujon a foul, which was Edward's second foul on Duhon.

Old Coach K waved his hand at Yang Long, signaling that it was time for him to play!

"!" Du Hong couldn't help but burst into foul language when he left the game, his two fouls were really wronged, and they were all unknowingly caught Edward's way.

"Be careful!" Coming to the court, Williams reminded Yang Long that he had fought Edward more than once and knew Edward's methods. And Edward's method of making fouls is especially good for a rookie like Yang Long, so it's no wonder that Williams came over to remind him.

Yang Long nodded vigorously, and then prepared to defend.

Compared with Edward's height of 185 cm, Yang Long has a height advantage of nearly 10 cm, and the best way to avoid the trouble of being deceived and fouled is to keep his distance from Edward. Therefore, he deliberately widened the distance between him and Edward, because Edward's shooting crosshairs barely reached 40%, and the three-point crosshairs were only 30%, Yang Long judged that he would not choose to shoot rashly, even if he shot with Yang Long's size advantage, it could also interfere with him.

However, overconfidence is not self-confidence but conceit, I saw Edward standing still with his legs, pulling it up and throwing, Yang Long hurriedly jumped up and blocked!

Although Yang Long has a height advantage, Edward's shot height is not high, but Anderward's advantage is that he is fast.

Falling to the ground, Yang Long watched Edward's three-point shot, and was shot in the face.

"! Didn't you say that this guy only shot 30% from three-point range? So confident? ”

"Pull away! Eat him alone! Yang Long advanced to the front court with the ball, Williams had already directed his teammates to complete the tactical selection, and they gave Yang Long a chance to form a single.

Edward in front of him looks weak, and singles is indeed a good choice.

Twice the crotch changes hands to dribble, and one accelerates to the right to break through!

Edward reacted and slid towards Yang Long's right side, but Yang Long had already gained a small half of the lead just now, and his speed did not decrease at all, and Yang Long forced Edward behind him with a force on his left back!

Someone in front of him came to help defend, it was the opponent's short and strong center Lei!

Lei jumped up almost at the same time as Yang Long, playing as the center forward with a height of 203 cm, Lei's bounce level should not be underestimated, and he raised his arms to form a human wall in front of Yang Long.

At this point, Boozer moved, and without Ray's defense, he cut to the basket!

Yang Long slammed his right wrist hard into the floor, and a ground-hitting pass through the crotch put the ball in Boozer's hands.

"Bang!" Boozer clasped his hands violently! Yang Long received an assist.

The score came to 23:19, and the Duke Blues took a four-point lead.

Edward once again held the ball in front of Yang Long, who still chose the defensive strategy of the previous time.

Yang Long thinks that Edward's last sudden cold arrow three-point situation is just an accidental situation, and he believes that even Edward himself will not believe that he can make two three-pointers, right?

Syllable!

It's not another sound, it's a naked slap in the face.

Edward saw that Yang Long didn't come forward to defend and made another three-point shot, Cangtian, he actually went in again!

Coach K called a timeout, with 8 minutes and 32 seconds left before the end of the first half.

"Yang, why don't you stick it up for defense?" Coach K didn't choose to play tactics, but just pulled Yang Long to his side and asked.

"I studied his stats and he shot only 30% from three-point range, I thought ......"

"Do you think he's shooting 30 percent from three-point range in practice? His 30% shooting percentage is the shooting percentage under defense, you know?! ”

"Got it, I'll post it."
