The Trojans were able to take a two-point lead and possession of the ball at the start of the game because the opposing starting point guard Mattin Cliffs missed two open three-pointers.

But Martin Cliffs is the opponent's top three-point shooter, shooting 39.9% from three-point range this season, averaging 2.3 three-pointers per game, close to half of the opponent's team.

And the opponents didn't score any three-pointers, and they were still only two points behind.

It's horrible!

While the opponent had not yet thrown, Henry Bibby took the initiative to adjust.

Over the past three days, he has brushed the Spartans through five games in the Crazy Three, and found that there is no team that can stop this opponent.

Those teams have tried everything, but it works ......

So, Henri Bibby is ready to go the other way!

After he set it up, all five starters felt the pressure.

Although you are prepared when you are preparing for battle, you really have to guard against it like that......

Seeing Li Ao's eagerness to try, the 4 teammates gritted their teeth and did it!

Coming back from the timeout, there were no substitutions for either team.

The Trojans attack, serve in the front court.

Li Ao stood one step outside the free throw line and waited for the tactical coordination to begin.

Maurice Peterson excitedly spewed trash talk: "It's really the happiest thing of the year to step on you guys to win the championship." ”

Li Ao didn't even look at the other party, and replied casually: "There is everything in the dream." ”

In this contemptuous tone, Maurice Peterson gritted his teeth and pressed towards Li Ao...... "Vake! ”

When he pressed up, the bastard raised his elbow, and his stomach hit the other man's elbow!

After the elbow was 'hit', Li Ao immediately started to run, and Granville had already begun to break through.

Li Ao went around the baseline, ran out from the right side of the three-second zone with Charles cover, received the ball, and AJ Granger and Maurice Peterson both pounced on him.

The hand does not stop the ball, Li Ao passes Charles, Charles jumps off the basket and smashes the ball into the basket with one hand.

The score is 14-10, and the Trojans lead by 4 points!

Tom Izzo directed his curse at Maurice Peterson from the sidelines.

Maurice Peterson was yelled at with a red face, he was impulsive just now, and he lost his mind after being overshadowed by the opponent's small movements, but in fact, when he found out that he actually pinched a player without the ball with the center, he had already reacted, and he originally wanted to return Li Ao.

Coming up front, Maurice Peterson struggled to calm himself down and attack well.

He saw Charlie Bell gesturing to make the ball for him!

The boss is yelled at, and his teammates want to help him get back on the field.

Charlie Bell singled past Trepagnier and broke down the left to the three-point line.

Li Ao contracted from the left sideline, and Morris Peterson moved from the middle of the sideline to the bottom corner, seizing the moment and cutting into the baseline...... The shrinking Li Ao did not go to the basket, and retreated to the bottom line in a few steps in a row, blocking Maurice Peterson!

Watch the visibly stronger Maurice Peterson get blocked to death!

Charlie Bale burst into close range and was ready to draw in the ball after the stoppage, only for Maurice Peterson to be blocked.

And Charles moved into place, covering his shot space!

Martin Cliffs in front of Granville; The White Mamba moved to the right side of the three-second zone to block the space on the weak side of Charlie Bale's pass; AJ Granger under the basket saw that he was about to attack for three seconds and didn't receive the ball before he could only pull to the right baseline, and it was a dead end to go up, and the white mamba was there......

Charlie Bell had no choice but to evade Charles' block with an anti-aircraft shot.

But the ball thrown out of the high fell and only rubbed against the neck of the basket, and the white mamba closed it to block AJ Granger, who ran in, to protect the defensive rebound!

Seeing Charles pass the ball to Granville, the corner of Tom Izzo's mouth twitched on the sidelines and he muttered, "How bold!" ”

But he was surprised.

Just like Henry Bibby's solemn expression on the other side did not relax.

If the NCAA's defensive philosophy doesn't work, then don't use the NCAA defense, use the NBA's defense!

As a former professional player who played in the NBA for more than a decade, he has always been flexible.

But just because you can defend one round doesn't mean you can keep it all the time.

On the contrary, this defense is very porous, very large......

On the pitch, the Trojans went on the attack.

The three-man team continued to play a small area of cooperation, and this time Trepaganier took the initiative to attack around the top arc.

Li Ao and Bai Mamba continued to cover without the ball at a 45-degree angle, this time Maurice Peterson and Andre Hutson quickly switched defenses, and when they were raised from a 45-degree angle on the right side, Charlie Bell, who followed Trepagnier to move to the top arc, hurriedly intercepted the white mamba receiving line, but Granville's direction was the top arc!

Trey Pagnier catches the ball and makes a three-point shot...... Hit!

17 to 10!

The Trojans' lead extends to 7 points!

Switching offense and defense, the Spartans continued to play star tactics, breaking through and cutting.

This time it was Martin Cliffs who broke through, and he was not as athletic as Charlie Bale, and the breakthrough was not sharp, but he had an excellent sense of rhythm and easily deceived Granville into a gambling swoop.

Martin Cliffs burst to the free throw line and was blocked by the White Mamba, and on the right side of the ball, Granville and Trey Pagnier caught Andre Hutson, who had just received the ball.

Andre Heterson could only hold the ball and didn't dare to put it down, Charlie Bale shouted "Pasmi" on the right sideline, Andre Heterson quickly turned around, saw his teammate, and passed to the bottom right corner, which was relieved.

But Charlie Bell received the ball, didn't shoot in the open space, and broke along the baseline.

Charles blocked it, the White Mamba and Andre Hutson went hand-to-hand, Granville returned to the high post to go around Martin Cliffs, and Charlie Bell could only meet the pinch and jump ...... "bang......

The Spartans' outer three immediately retreated to prevent the Trojans from counterattacking.

Granville received the ball and saw that the opposing three had retreated to the center circle, did not force a counterattack, and continued to play team cooperation.

It's a pity that Li Ao's mid-range catch-and-jump shot didn't score this time, and the Trojans couldn't continue to open up the difference.

Martin Cliffs took the defensive rebound and advanced on his own, his pace a little slower than usual and his brow furrowed.

Tom Izzo, who was on the sidelines, saw Love slow down and knew he didn't need to be reminded.

Martin Cliffs has seen that the opponent's defense is not a joint defense, but a zone attack!

It seems that the two are very similar, just as many people think that the 76ers play joint defense, but in fact, under the coaching of Larry Brown, the 76ers play not joint defense, but zone attack.

However, the difference is actually not small, the joint defense is more inclined to the process, and the regional flanking attack attaches importance to the result, and the two have advantages and disadvantages for each other.

Martin Cliffs is about to graduate from college, and he is expected to start preparing for the professional stage in the first round, so he can see it after two rounds.

Unlike joint defense, the purpose of a zone attack is not to defend against all, but to have a specific target.

The goal on the opposite side is obvious, to block their Spartans' sudden flank cut-in coordination!

He quickly recalled the defense of the opposite two rounds and found a huge hole in the opponent - the bottom corner three-point defense.

Whether it's Morris Peterson or Charlie Bell, no one cares in the bottom corner.

And as far as the opposing player's defensive position is concerned, it's not because those two don't have the ability to shoot on the wing and don't defend, but that position is unguarded.

However, this should also be within the defensive tactical design of the opponent's area pinch attack, and there are only two of their seven main players who have the ability to stabilize the three-point ability on the wing.

In fact, Maurice Peterson and Charlie Bell can also shoot three-pointers, but they are both three-pointers in the top arc area, and the wing pick-up three-point shooting rate is poor.

Like Charlie Bell's corner just now, he didn't dare to shoot.

The best solution Mattin Cliffs could think of was for him to continue to flank and let his outside teammates break through in his direction.

But Charlie Bale has been attacking for a long time and needs to slow down and play without the ball......

Martin Cliffs pressed eight seconds to cross the halfway line, and by the time he got to the top of the arc, he had already figured out how to deal with it.

He started to dribble quickly against Granville's defense, exactly like he had in the previous round.

But Granville didn't have a gambling steal this time, he tried, but he couldn't.

Martin Cliffs leaned over and sprinted, and Granville quickly stepped back, but Martin Cliffs didn't burst, but took a sideways step and made a three-point shot...... Hit!

As Henry Bibby worried, after hitting two irons in a row, Martin Cliffs did not continue to cool down, but found a shooting sensation by hitting iron.

13-17, the Spartans narrowed the gap to 4 points!

Amid the cheers and boos of tens of thousands of fans in attendance, Martin Cliffs quickly stepped back.

The way to deal with zone pinching can be as simple as playing alone!

In the playoffs last year, the 76ers were hammered to death by Jalen Rose, Mark Jackson, and Rick Schmitz.

As for the area pinch ball handler, the ball handler is very happy, and he can create open shooting opportunities for his teammates without any effort.

After retreating, Martin Cliffs gave his teammates a few words, and the teammates accepted the captain's arrangement without any doubts.

They have been working together for at least three years, directing the game on the pitch, with Martin Cliffs having a lot of autonomy at the behest of the manager and approval from his teammates.

By the time the Trojans attacked, the stage of the best physical strength and firepower in the opening game had passed, and this time the white mamba did not score a two-point shot in the top arc.

When it came to the Spartans' offense, Andre Huterson singled the white mamba with his back from close range, turned around, and leaned forward to hit a push throw.

15-17, the difference narrowed to two points!

Fortunately, it was Trey Pagnier who stepped up, singled Charlie Bell on the wing, and hit a pull-up jump shot from the left sideline in the three-second zone to help the Trojans stabilize the situation.

However, the individual ability of the five Spartans starters is stronger than the other!

With the exception of AJ Granger, the other four are top-notch players.

And AJ-Granger is also a quasi-big guy with an 84 comprehensive evaluation.

In the next few minutes, the Spartans played according to the Trojans, whose offensive firepower began to decline!

With 10 minutes and 39 seconds left, Charlie Bell broke through and hit a close-range pullup jump shot, and the Spartans chased the score to 24-24!

When the Trojans attacked, Granville broke through the small throw and returned one.

Coming back, Martin Cliffs picked up Andre Hutson's single-shot from the baseline and hit a mid-range shot.

The score was tied again by the Spartans, the score was 26-26, and the Trojans called a timeout!

Although Henry Bibby thought that the opponent would soon find a way to crack their targeted zone defense, he didn't expect to be seen through by the opponent in two rounds, and this ability to read the defense made him think of the kid.

But it's still the kid on their team who is a little better.

Henry Bibby had planned to call a timeout for the first wave of rotation two or three minutes earlier, when the lead was already in shambles, and the opponent could be overtaken in a round or two.

But Li Ao took the initiative to ask for the ball at that important stage, of course, it was to play coordination, use the cover to stop urgently, quickly turn around and jump out after receiving the ball, and beat Andre Hutson, who changed defenses, with a poor rhythm, and the shot was not interfered with, and he hit the shot.

After hitting a goal to increase the threat, Li Ao has been moving quickly around the pile to contain the defense, helping Granville better deliver shells to other teammates and bite the situation.

Although from 17-10, only a score of 9-16 was played, but the score has been tight, and they do not change on their side, and they dare not change on the opposite side.

Henry Bibby's opening goal, which he thought was going to fail, was to consume the physical strength of the opponent's five starters, but he did it at a disadvantage!

In addition to attacking, Li Ao also contributed to the defensive end, he interfered with Morris Peterson's single shots twice, and did not let the opponent's wing singles soar.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is also difficult in the middle!

Henry Bibby fielded a combination of Nate Hale, Trey Pagnier, Shelby Jordan, White Mamba, Brushenthal.

As the strongest player in the team, the white mamba will definitely play a long time tonight.

However, the next white mamba offensive end is only to stand on the wings as a containment point, continue to run like before, not to mention whether the shooting stability can be maintained, there will inevitably be physical problems in the second half.

In addition to worrying about offensive firepower, Henry Bibby was also worried about the defense when he saw the opposition field field a combination of Martin Cliffs, Jason Richardson, Maurice Peterson, Aruxian Anagunye, and AJ Granger.

Freshman Jason Richardson hasn't played yet, but his talent for three-point shooting has been shown, and he's good at shooting from the wings!

Compared with Henry Bibby, who was full of worries, Li Ao, who was replaced, sat calmly on the bench, adjusted his breathing, and rested.

He's done his best, and he's always believed in his teammates for the rest of the rotation.

He knows exactly what he's supposed to do, and at this stage, all he has to do is rest and get back on the pitch so that he can continue to help his team-mates and make the most of them.

He believes in his teammates! He firmly believes that they are stronger than their opponents!

No, Trey Pagnier and Shelby Jordan played beautiful performances on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, playing a wave of 4-0!

Watching Shelby Jordan imitate his defense, the corners of Ao's mouth turned up.

Finally, it's this guy's turn to learn from him!

Tomorrow will continue to have a change, 1200 monthly passes, thank you for your support! Thank you!
