Chapter 262: Marvel Team VS Spartan Team (2)
At 7:00 p.m., the Jack Bryslin Student Activity Center was already crowded with many media outlets.
Local fans have already grabbed a large number of season tickets, holding banners to cheer on the home team or Ussi, and the game has even started before the game has begun.
When Usilis appeared, he was immediately subjected to a test of ice and fire, half cheering and shouting, half cursing.
The same goes for the Spartans appearance.
Naturally, our students support their own teams, but the local fans always support away teams, which is weird and funny, and has been since the 60s.
Ultimately, this is due to the Morrill Act (Land Grant Act).
Students at this university only need to submit a report on agricultural research to obtain the right to use a piece of land; At the same time, the local residents have one less farm and one pasture, and if there is enough compensation, everyone will be happy.
The fact is that the compensation is pitiful. Over time, the contradictions intensified, and in 98 there were already violent conflicts.
Now, as long as it is a local public assembly, a competition, etc., a large number of police officers must intervene, and it is necessary to watch it to the death.
No, in this game, in the edge and corner of the stadium, there are cold men in black standing like a stake.
After a hot dance, the warm-up began.
The little men of the Spartans took the initiative to come to the door, hugged Usilis, and enthusiastically and cheerfully said that friendship first and competition second.
In the last game, Usilis rampaged like a prehistoric monster in the Pete Mara Assembly Center, wreaking havoc on Swift, scoring a terrifying 60 points and a quadruple-double in the first half, nailing the Tigers to the historical pillar of shame in the NCAA, and immediately terrified all opponents in the NCAA.
Just today. Tigers head coach John Brady is in the midst of a dismissal crisis.
No one dares to provoke a T-Rex at will, if he wants to score, let him score, and other defensive points, as long as they don't break personal records, this has become the consensus of many NCAA head coaches.
Head coach Tom Izzo has already warned his players in the pre-match tactical set-up that they must never spew too much trash talk on that monster, lest tragedy befall him.
At the moment, the Spartans guard group has very strong attacking firepower, nicknamed "Metsä Boulder".
Relatively. The Marvel team's guard group is very mediocre and will definitely be blown up, and this will have to adjust the starting lineup.
Marvel starting lineup: center Usyris, center Bo Mutie, power forward Montas, scoring guard Scotty, point guard Larry. It seemed unreasonable to send four big men over 2 meters at once, but after having Ussy, everything made sense.
Larry's dribbling speed was a beat slower than Chen's, but it was very secure.
Spartans starting lineup: point guard Mattin Cliffs, shooting guard Jason Richardson. Small forward Morris Peterson, small forward Charlie Bell, and a skinny big center. It's just a relative amazer, and the average height is shorter. The firepower of the outside attack is even stronger.
Judging from the lineups of both sides, the Marvel team is still Usilis in control of the ball, Bo Mutie is the inside strategy, and Montas is making up for the dunk. Scotty and Larry pull to the outside to shoot. The Spartans are all coolie meat shields on the inside, and this time they simply gave up on the inside.
One focuses on the inside and the other on the outside. Needless to say, it's bound to be a high-scoring game.
The game officially began, and Usilis won the jump ball comfortably, and normally, would also take the opening two points.
There was an accident in this game, point guard Martin Cliffs suddenly burst out, made a beautiful steal from Larry's hand, ran with the ball, and after a mid-pass the ball, Jason Richardson completed a gorgeous tomahawk dunk and gave the Marvels a blow to the head.
An attack, about 10 seconds, just one word, fast.
Usyris had just chased the three-point line when his opponent had already completed the dunk.
Obviously, the Spartans set up an opening steal tactic specifically for the characteristics of the Marvel team.
The arena became a situation of ice and fire again, half booing, half cheering and shouting.
Head coach Reg Ezric frowned, this game is difficult.
Manager Tom Izzo cheered loudly, cheering on his players.
Usyris, who is still stuck in the free throw ring, has been limited by the head coach to shoot from the outside and the number of shots he can take, which is to develop Usy's teamwork ability on the inside in the long run.
The rhythm of the Marvel team is still very steady, about 20 seconds or so to attack once, giving full play to the advantages of Ussi and Bo Mutie on the inside.
The Spartans are also at a steady pace, attacking every 10 seconds or so, and their outside passes are very sharp.
As the game wore on, the fighting intensified.
The Spartans played a fast break on the offensive end, used quick help defense on the defensive end, made quick steals, gave up the outside defense, let go of Larry, and sent a combination of a center and a small forward to defend Ussi with flexible footwork.
Scotty shot well from the open spot, and the incident was met with frequent pressing by Morris Peterson, and he suddenly rushed sadly, shooting 2-of-6 and scoring five points with difficulty.
With a small defense, height does not have an advantage, but the ability to bounce can make up for it.
The basketball was difficult to pass to Ussy's hands, and Bo Mutie's response became difficult, and there were a series of passing errors.
Head coach Reg Eslick was frustrated and had to replace Scotty and Larry respectively, but the substitutes Chuck and Chan also did badly.
Usilis was also helpless, chasing the basketball all over the court, but the opponent's mid-court passes were too frequent to catch up at all.
Seven minutes later, the Spartans had an eight-point advantage with 23 points to 15 points.
This is the first time that the Marvel team has been pressed by an opponent in the first half.
Seeing that there was about to be a double-digit score gap, Reg Esric, who couldn't bear it, finally called the last timeout of the first half, and scolded the outside players with a scolding face, among which Bo Mutie was scolded the worst.
In the inner line, Bo Mu Tie should respond, Usilis chose freely, and the "two-person turn" combination of the two is very stable, and it is a magic weapon for the amazed team to win.
Today, Bomuti and Usilis were threatened by the Spartans' continuous bouncing and blocking at the same time, and the interior line was not functioning.
There are too many jumps in this posting, and it is easy to step on and get injured, which can be described as "killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred", which is very dangerous for players on both sides, but the Spartans have obviously put the injury aside. (To be continued.) )
