Chapter 100 [Easy Promotion]

On March 22, the first round of the tournament began.

Kentucky, Louisville and other teams that took the lead in the Midwest region successfully qualified.

The Wolverines played Florida on the 23rd.

David did not arrange a double block for Wang Jun, but Luke played a block and pick and roll with Carman in the high post, and Bobby gave Wang Jun no ball cover on the side.

It's a targeted arrangement, with University of Florida center Leonardo being a stocky meat shield that moves slowly, and core forward David Lee isn't good at pick-and-rolls.

After the start of the game, both sides were very efficient in attack, and Bobby unexpectedly scored eight points in a row.

In the case of no ball cover, David Lee always immediately changed the defense to Wang Jun, put Bobby to cut casually, Luke broke through after blocking and dismantling to attract Leonardo's defense, and sent it lightly to the inside, Bobby was either vacant or misplaced.

Florida's main tactics are also blocking and dismantling, David Lee is sure whether he is a mid-lane jumper or a low-post footplay, and Wang Jun can't prevent one-on-one, and Carman has reduced his efficiency.

The offense was okay, but the Florida team defended poorly and fell behind from the start.

Wang Jun's performance was decent, moving the ball from the periphery, running position, and shooting when there was a clear opportunity.

The tactics are according to what David said, Carman is the core of the offense, and then shoots on the periphery, not just for Wang Jun, whoever has a good chance will shoot.

In the end, 87-70, the Wolverine easily advanced to the round of 32.

All five of the team scored double-doubles, and their teammates finally stopped playing soy sauce.

Bobby had 16 points, Harris had 14 points, Luke had 11 points and 10 assists, Carman had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, and Wang Jun shot 7-of-14 from the field and 4-of-9 from three-point range, scoring 18 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

David Hornacek proved himself as he swept away the Wolverines in the following year to lead the team to the last 32 of the tournament.

The negative effect of the wolverine's singing all the way is that Jill Adamson, who is looking for a job, is out of luck.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and before hiring, the school must check Adamson's previous qualifications, and as soon as he saw that he had made a bet about not looking down on Wang Jun and David, he immediately passed.

It's hard for him to go to high school to be a coach, and no team wants this kind of stubborn, paranoid, cronyism.

In the other game of the day, the Duke Blue Devils also defeated their opponents and successfully advanced.

Wolverine VS Blue Devils attracted a lot of media attention, with several media outlets broadcasting live.

In the first season of the Michigan Five Tigers, in the 1992 NCAA finals, the Wolverines lost to the experienced Duke, and Duke defended his title. They never met again.

Will the wolverine succeed in revenge, or will it add new injuries?

In any case, only one of the two teams can advance to the Sweet Sixteen.

Duke is recognized as a famous basketball star school, not only has sent many NBA players, but the coach is also very famous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that "Old K" Mike Ashzewski is the most famous coach in the NCAA.

"Old K" was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001 and led the Duke team to an impressive NCAA record.

Looking back on his 23-year tenure at Duke, he was named College Coach of the Year 12 times, led Duke to an average of more than 25 wins over 25 seasons, eight of which exceeded 30, and set an NCAA coaching record in five of the last six seasons.

Currently, there are four players on the Blue Devils team who are on the radar of NBA scouts.

POINT GUARD CRIS DUHON, 185CM TALL, 84KG WEIGHT.

He was the winner of the McDonald's High School All-Star Three-Point Contest, and was hailed as the best point guard in the class of 2000. He won the NCAA championship in his first year at Duke in 2001 as a key rotation player, and his name is now written all over the ACC's data books.

However, Dujon has been slow to improve, and was robbed of the limelight by Jae Williams last season, and now he is not the absolute core of the team, and as he gets older, the draft evaluation is getting lower and lower.

Shooting guard J.J. Redick. FRESHMAN STUDENT, HEIGHT 193CM, WEIGHT 83KG.

Reddick also received a bunch of dazzling honors in high school.

McDonald's All-American First Team, McDonald's High School All-Star Game MVP, McDonald's All-Star Game Three-Point Contest Champion, Virginia High School Basketball Man.

He got off to a perfect start with Duke, averaging 16.3 points per game and shooting 46.8 percent from three-point range this year.

SMALL FORWARD DUNTAI JONES, 198CM TALL AND WEIGHS 95 KG.

Jones attended Rutgers University from 1998 to 2000 and transferred to Duke University in 2001, averaging 17.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game this season.

That's right, college can also be transferred to poach, and after Battier entered the NBA in 2001, Jones was the defensive guard who replaced him.

His mid-to-long-range shooting is average, but he has terrifying defensive tenacity. He's physically tough, and he can also score on the offensive end, with fast breaks and open cuts being his forte, often making eye-popping dunks.

POWER FORWARD SHELDON WILLIAMS, WHO IS 204CM TALL IN SHOES AND WEIGHS 115 KG.

In his first year, he quickly became the team's interior core, rebounding and blocking the interior offense.

DESPITE HIS SHORT STATURE, HIS ARM SPAN HAS REACHED AN ASTONISHING 224CM, HIS BODY IS UNUSUALLY STRONG, HIS SPEED IS NOT SLOW, HIS BOUNCE IS EXCELLENT, AND HE OFTEN SENDS OUT BIG HATS ON THE DEFENSIVE END.

Compared with Duke, only Wang Jun and Carman are significantly shorter than the wolverines that are concerned.

Almost all the media believe that Duke has a better chance of qualifying, and the wolverine has been "black enough" so far, and it is difficult to continue to be black.

If it weren't for Jay Williams, Dunleavy and Boozer graduated early last season, the Wolverines would have no chance of winning at all, and it would have been a massacre.

Before the game began, the media first encircled and suppressed the wolverine.

In this atmosphere, many Wolverine players feel nervous.

At the hotel, David summoned everyone for a small meeting in his room, and a group of big men packed the entire bedroom.

"Yes, Duke is more famous than us and has more players to watch in the NBA, but that doesn't mean they're better. Why did we become the seeded team ahead of them? Bobby, you answer. David gestured to the captain.

Bobby reacted quickly and said loudly: "Because our divisional record is better." ”

"That's right! In the first two seasons, Duke was indeed a group of NBA-level players playing, but this season they have two first-year rookies, one of whom is still against a poor shooting guard, and Wang Jun can blow him up single-handedly. THE OTHER WILLIAMS, 204CM TALL I DON'T BELIEVE HE CAN GUARD AGAINST CHRIS, WE HAVE A CLEAR ADVANTAGE. David exclaimed.

The players' mentality immediately relaxed.

David again emphasized Duke's strengths.

"In this game, we have to defend the outside, they have two guards who are good at shooting three-pointers, and there are a lot of blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, so you must not hesitate to change defenses, and you would rather put in them to score two points than let the opponent shoot away. King and Mike are the key, no matter who is against Redick, try to attack him as much as possible, and if he is defeated, Duke's peripheral containment will drop a lot. ”

Wang Jun immediately raised his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone give me the ball, and I will clean up that kid." ”

Seeing the information, Redick is shorter than him and weighs 40 pounds lighter, and the strong fights he practiced during this time will definitely come in handy.

This game, offense, is the best defense.
