Chapter 42: Reggie Miller
Coach Heywood's opening performance relieved Coach Heywood, and he also understood that Sun Xiaotian would give his opponent a minute of deterrence for one minute when he was on the court.
Yale's opening three points also seem to be a demonstration to the University of Florida, and while you have a better lineup, it's not that easy to win against the Bulldogs.
But as the University of Florida, too, must respond.
The University of Florida has a peculiar name for tactics and is called "Horn Tactics." Generally by Kenny. Boyynton holds the ball from the outside, and at this time Eric Brown. Murphy and Bradley. Bill helps Kenny from the left and right. Boynton covers. Once the cover is in place, Kenny. Boynton will be able to get on the inside of the opposition.
According to common sense, at this time, Eric, who is the pillar of the team's interior line. Murphy should follow up inside and be ready to grab rebounds. But Eric . Murphy basically doesn't do that, he just walks outside the three-point line, first, to play to his three-point strengths, and secondly, to pull the opponent's interior defense out of the line, which is more convenient for Kenny. Boynton's breakout.
As another corner in the "Horn Tactics", Bradley. Bill's role in the tactics is very important. On the one hand, he was able to pick up Kenny in time. Boynton's passing is a shot from the outside, and on the other hand, he can also use his ability to play alone or play.
------
I saw Kenny. Boynton held the ball on the outside, Kevin kept a close mark, and at this time Eric Brown. Murphy and Bradley. Bill covers from the left and right flanks.
"I didn't expect the other party to be a double block!" Live commentary.
Kenny. Boynton tried to go to the right, but Kevin judged his intentions in advance and was already in Kenny's way. Boynton on the way forward.
Kenny. Boynton had to go to Eric. Murphy went in the direction where he was, and he made it to the inside of Yale University very smoothly.
At this time, Kevin didn't have time to keep up, and followed Eric. Murphy came out of Gulot, and had no choice but to switch to Kenny. Boynton. But how can he guard against a small defender! I saw Kenny. Boynton cleared Gulot with a single acceleration and scored two points with ease.
"Blame me!" Gulot patted Kevin on the chest.
In the ensuing round, Florida successfully defended Yale's offense.
Eric. Murphy grabs the rebound and passes to Kenny for the first time. Boynton, Kenny. Boynton was like a little bouncing monkey, fast enough for Kevin to catch up with him.
But Yale retreated very quickly, Kenny. Seeing that there was no chance, Boynton organized another attack.
Or Eric. Murphy and Bradley. The cover that Bill did for the two men, Kenny. Boynton rushed to the free throw line on one occasion. Having learned the lessons of the first time, Gulot still changed his defense, and this time Kenny. Boynton wanted to get past Gulot one-on-one, but Kevin suddenly felt it. Groult and Kevin suddenly have a conversation with Kenny. Boynton formed a trap trend. But Kenny. Boynton smiled and passed the ball to Erik, who had been waiting outside the three-point line for a long time. Murphy.
By the time Gulot came to his senses again, it was too late, Erik. Murphy calmly adjusted the crosshair and made a decisive move.
"Huh!"
The ball is in!
5-3!
"Hell!" Gulott secretly scolded his mother in his heart, and only then did he know that it turned out that Eric. Murphy didn't like to dwell on himself on the inside.
……
Over the next few rounds, Yale slowly figured out Florida's tactics.
However, the problem is not as simple as they think!
Just when Kevin is crazy to block Kenny. Boynton towards Eric. Murphy which direction to walk in Kenny. Boynton suddenly turned around and headed for Bradley. Bill went in the direction he was, and Kevin was nearly shaken over.
However, even after getting rid of Kevin, Kenny . Boynton is facing Sun Xiaotian's defense. Even if Sun Xiaotian is injured, the threat of defense is still there.
Kenny. Boynton burst inside to face Sun Xiaotian, who also signaled Kevin to defend himself.
Facing Sun Xiaotian, Kenny. Boynton first carried it twice to the left, but Sun Xiaotian stared at him with his strong body. Kenny. Seeing that there was no way, Boynton came to a back dribble and began to walk to the right.
And Sun Xiaotian is obviously out of position because his right foot is not good, Kenny. Boynton took the opportunity to get into the reasonable collision zone.
Kenny. As soon as Boynton saw the opportunity to make a layup, he adjusted his posture and flew to prepare for a layup. However, it was at this time that Kenny. Boynton only felt that it was dark in front of him, and a pair of large hands had sealed his vision. That's right! This person is really Sun Xiaotian!
Seeing that there is no room to shoot, Kenny. Boynton adjusted his stance in an instant and came with a behind-the-head pass, and the ball went to Bradley as if it were cruising. In Bill's hands.
At this point, defend Bradley. Bill's is Kevin. Although Bradley. Beal has a height advantage over Kevin, but his tonnage is on the underweight side. So if he wants to break through Kevin, it will still be difficult.
Bradley. After Beal received the ball, he lifted it above his head, and Kevin bent over him at this time to prevent him from breaking through. However Bradley. Beal dribbled back two steps, and in everyone's opinion, Bradley. Bill is about to break through, including Kevin in this opinion.
However, it was at this time that Bradley. Bill stopped the ball.
"What? Is he going to ......?" thought Kevin.
At this time, I saw Bradley. Beal jumped high and made a decisive shot with a meter from the three-point line.
The ball made a graceful arc in the air and hollowed into the net!
Look at Bradley again at this time. Beal, before the ball was in the net, had already run to the backcourt.
8-3!
Yale came back and took a proactive air cut and ran back, and Kevin easily scored 2 points. However, before the whole Yale team could react back, Kenny. Boynton had used their pace to get past half-time.
However, Bradley. Bill had reached the bottom corner at some point, and was still unmarked. Kenny. Boynton decisively passed the ball there, and Bradley. Bill, who didn't waste this opportunity, hit with his open hand, and shot extremely quickly.
11-5!
Coach Heywood saw that the momentum was not right and hurriedly called a timeout.
'We've got to pay attention to his shots, and once he finds his rhythm to shoot, he's going to score in a row like Ray Allen.'
……
After a pause, Sun Xiaotian sat with Bradley. Bill, want to single him with his back. Kevin was also very face-saving and decisively passed the ball to Sun Xiaotian.
Sun Xiaotian used his body to push inside, but found that he couldn't move. At this time, Sun Xiaotian realized that the main reason was that his feet were not strong, which caused him to be unstable. Sun Xiaotian still forced a turnover jumper, but it was too far from the basket and missed.
The Florida ball went up front, and that's when Bradley began to show what he was capable of as a quality shooter.
Only to see Bradley. Bill successfully left Sun behind by two switchbacks along the bottom corner, plus the cover of his teammates.
Then it goes around at an angle of 45 degrees on the right side, Kenny. Boynton's passing was very accurate. And let Bradley. Beal was very comfortable with the ball. Although, Sun Xiaotian gritted his teeth and still prevented it. Can Bradley. Bill didn't look at it, he jumped up decisively, although he didn't jump high, and the shooting posture was still weird, but he shot extremely fast!
"Huh!"
The ball is in again!
The enthusiasm of the live audience was accompanied by Bradley. Bill's three consecutive three-pointers were completely ignited, and even the on-site commentary was addicted!
"Who does he remind you of?"
"Ray Allen?"
"No, no, I think he's more like Reggie. Miller! ”
14-5!
Yale University has called a timeout again!
