Chapter 80: The Lopez Brothers Who Broke Out
At halftime, Zhang Yu scored 15 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. Robin Lopez supported the team's interior today, scoring 10 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists in the half, and playing a lottery show. Brook Lopez was out of sorts, finishing with just 3 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the first half while shooting just 1-of-7 from the field. Fields had seven points and two rebounds.
Stanford University relied on the play of Zhang Yu and Robin Lopez to score 42:36, leading the University of Texas by 6 points at halftime.
At the end of the first half, Master Sun said to Mr. Heli: "Director Zhang, please briefly comment on the table of Stanford University in the first half. ”
REASONABLE AND HONEST SMILED, AND COMMENTED: "STANFORD UNIVERSITY PLAYED VERY REASONABLY IN THE FIRST HALF, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, INSIDEOUT...... Pass it out and call back...... Pass it out and call back...... You are ...... He ...... Then divide ...... If you shoot from the outside and have a shooting percentage, it's hard for such a team to defend."
Master Sun nodded again and again: "Well said!" ”
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Zhang Yu found that the small action of the red No. 14 began to change to the big action, and he smiled in his heart, it seems that his mentality has also begun to be impatient.
Zhang Yu let the opponent see his cunning at the beginning, and deliberately gave the opponent space to make a move when he broke through, and the slow European step came out again. Red No. 14 really didn't have a clean hand, and the iron elbow ran towards Zhang Yu and swung it over.
Kobe Bryant's eyes lit up off the field, and he said in his heart: "This elbow is quite my style, I don't know how the Chinese little guy will deal with it?" ”
Zhang Yu naturally has a way to deal with it, he has been waiting for the other party to make a move, this time his breakthrough is secretly particular about the position and angle, and it belongs to the angle that can be seen clearly by the referee. Of course, Zhang Yu will not really let the other party hit, at the critical moment, the basketball in his hand was held by him with both hands, the whole person "screamed", lay down in the penalty area, and the ball was also held in his arms, just in case the referee did not judge, his basketball would not be grabbed by the opponent and directly hit the fast attack.
The referee did not turn a blind eye to this foul, the whistle sounded in time, and made an elbow swing to award a red foul No. 14!
Zhang Yu showed a snickering that the conspiracy had succeeded, and continued to stir up the other party's anger. But it still has no effect, even if the other party is overshadowed by Zhang Yu, his face is still the same as if he is an old man, and his psychological elements are indeed unusual.
This is the third time the opponent has fouled, and the NCAA will be sent off if the number of fouls reaches 5, and three fouls is no longer a safe range, and his next defensive moves will inevitably shrink back.
Zhang Yu seemed to be thinking about it, and said seriously: "If you foul again, you will go down to rest, be careful!" ”
Red No. 14 suddenly laughed: "Maybe you will go down after a foul, I don't think it's a loss!" ”
Zhang Yu was suddenly as disgusted as eating a fly, isn't this Nima a threat? Can trash talk say that?
The phrase red No. 14 is too useful, Zhang Yu's shortcoming is that he cherishes his body too much, rarely takes risks, and even slams a basket for fear of injury, most of the time he uses the layup as an end of the offense, you can imagine how careful he is.
Zhang Yu's next few attacks, all of them are long-distance dry pulls, this kind of shooting relies on the feel, no feel not only can not shoot dead, but may throw his own side to death. He unconsciously began to hesitate in his heart, wanting to rush in but always hesitated, worried that the opponent would make a black hand, so he temporarily changed to a jump shot. This kind of approach, the feeling of shooting is naturally not good, and it is strange to be able to hit.
With five minutes into the second half, Texas University gradually recovered the score, 48-47, and Stanford University led by only one point, and Trent Johnson couldn't help but call a timeout.
"Brooke, Zhang Yu, what are you two doing? Do you want to get out now? Brooke, why are you staying for an extra year? Just to make it to the round of 16? Zhang Yu, do you want to stay at Stanford for an extra year? Don't sue me, you can't bear your dorm! ”
Trent Johnson's words hit the hearts of the two of them hard, and the two of them unconsciously lowered their heads in shame and were speechless.
When he returned to the game, Zhang Yu had not improved, and Brook Lopez suddenly broke out!
Carrying Pittman, Brook Lopez used his footwork to score two goals under the basket to stabilize Stanford's shaky situation in one fell swoop.
Trent Johnson's words, although not said to Robin Lopez, but he felt the same way, and like Brooke Lopez, he played an extra year in college just to be able to lead Stanford University further. There is no better chance than this year, their team has welcomed the best player of the World Youth Championship, it is the best time to win the championship, how can they fall in the last 16?
With this in mind, Robin Lopez, who was already excellent on the defensive end, was simply superb, blocking the University of Texas three times in a row. His older brother Brook Lopez won three consecutive singles on the offensive end, and the two brothers attacked and defended, and in the blink of an eye, Stanford University once again led the opponent by 9 points, forcing the University of Texas to call a timeout.
With a score of 56:47, Stanford University, under the leadership of the López brothers, not only regained the lead, but also completely suppressed the opponent in momentum.
The team played a wave of attack, and although Zhang Yu passed a few balls in it, which could be regarded as having a role, he still felt that his appearance was not good enough.
"Am I really scared? Impossible, does a nobody think that a word can scare me? ”
Zhang Yu decided to prove this with his actions, Brook López toughened up, he is not a bad breed, he will never be frightened by the other party's words, red No. 14, you wait for me!
Brook López did harden up and got back on the court, and he continued to beat Pittman. The latter also fought hard, and the two muscle-to-muscle, without giving in. That's where talent comes into play, as Brook Lopez's interior skills are among the best in college, and he has a soft touch, shaking off opponents with his inside footsteps and turning and jumpers to cause damage.
Zhang Yu also began to continue to break through the red No. 14, he didn't have to shoot, since Brook Lopes had the right hand, he was happy to pass the ball after the breakthrough. His breakthrough dragged the University of Texas defense, making it difficult for opponents to flank the in-form Brook López. His seamless passing made Brook Lopez's offense much easier, and he was basically one-on-one with Pittman, who was completely unable to defend himself against the crazy Brooke.
With 10 minutes left in the game, Stanford University was 66-54, leading its opponent by 12 points, and the door to the "elite quarterfinals" was more than half open.
This was the time to settle the opponent in one go, and Trent Johnson did not replace the player who was already slightly tired in case something unexpected happened.
In the second half, Zhang Yu only passed the ball after breaking through, and rarely attacked by himself. Even the calm red No. 14 unconsciously formed an inertia, so he relaxed a little, Zhang Yu rushed directly to the basket this time, and shook up the little Jordan who had already committed four fouls with a feint, leaned towards him, easily deceived two free throw opportunities, and at the same time sent the little Jordan, who was not in a state for a game, back to the locker room!
