Chapter 002 Coming off the bench, melons have gravity

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry!" Berheim spoke out to Anthony almost in a roaring fashion.

Burhaime's temper is well-known throughout the NCAA.

He gets angry at every turn, scolds the players in the team for not defending properly, not running well in attack, and will often question the referee's decision, and occasionally take out his anger at the assistant coach.

There is no doubt that he is a very difficult tyrant to provoke on the basketball court!

Not to mention, he has been in the position of the head coach of the Syracuse orange people for decades, and he has already developed a character that is indisputable, where can he tolerate the blatant resistance of his disciples at this time?

Cameron Anthony is the pride of the sky, yes, he personally recruited him in the first place!

But so what? After this game, isn't Anthony going to leave the Syracuse Orange People?

Anthony is not ready to play for him, so what is there to worry about?

What Berhaim really cares about is that this is the scene of the NCAA finals, the basketball mecca of North America - the New Orleans Super Dome Stadium.

There were more than 40,000 spectators today, as well as hundreds of media outlets!

Don't make a big fuss! Although Berhaime's temper temper is notorious, he has not had a scandal with his disciples before.

This is also the reason why Berheim, as the authority of the coach, was only very angry with Anthony after being challenged by Anthony, but did not immediately scold him.

In the case of the disciple's betrayal of morality that harmed his fundamental interests, Berheim still remained reserved as a teacher.

"Coach, please forgive us for being selfish!"

Doon spoke in time to help Anthony divert the fire.

Before instigating Anthony to challenge Berheim's authority, Doon also considered the various scenarios that might arise in the meantime.

The NCAA is completely different from the NBA, the coach is the boss of the team, the coach is the real person in the team, and the authority of the coach is not questionable at all!

Just like some teachers who have lost their eyes to power, they are used to being pampered on weekdays, and their functions are not big but their official authority is not small. Even if they are just ordinary elementary school teachers, they must cooperate with their parents in every way, and they can't wait for their parents to be cattle and horses.

It's the same with NCAA coaches, who play for them and don't get anything out of it except scholarships.

Every year, the ratings of the NCAA are no worse than those of the four major leagues, and correspondingly, the benefits are naturally not small.

While the NCAA is making a lot of money, the coach, as a coach with vested interests, is naturally comfortable with drought and flood protection, enjoying an annual salary of tens of millions, which is more nourishing than the NBA coach.

And behind this phenomenon, it can be said that it is completely through the exploitation of NCAA players.

However, coaching is all about being on top of the mountain, that is, sacrosanct. Players are workers, they are not allowed to question, they are not allowed to resist.

Normally, the relationship between a coach and a player is the relationship between a capitalist and a worker.

But this also has to be divided into occasions, just like today, the roles of the two sides are actually interchangeable.

Because, Berheim has coached the Syracuse oranges for more than 30 years, and it is not that he has not led the team to the NCAA finals, but the previous two times ended in failure.

As an NCAA coach, it is not a glorious thing to always win the runner-up.

Getting a peerless wizard like Anthony this season has made Berheim really feel the possibility of winning the championship.

And that's why Doon designed it all!

"If we lose this fight, I have three years to try hard and get back to the Final Four!

You've got five, ten years to develop the next team to hit the championship.

However, Anthony is different! We all know that he only has this chance this year!

He is the pride of the sky, and he does not have the word failure in his dictionary!

He should go to the NBA with the pride of an NCAA champion and Syracuse Oranges, not with regret and disappointment!

Coach, I'm begging you, let's play!

I think years from now, the day Anthony won the championship in the NBA.

You don't want to be in the NBA Finals because you feel guilty about what happened today, do you? ”

Lies don't hurt, the truth is the quick knife!

When Doon said this, Burheim felt very distressed.

Immediately afterwards, he naturally also noticed Doon, the disciple who had hurt him, but had already been sentenced to death by him before.

In Berheim's view, Doon is just an ordinary foreign player with average talent.

It wasn't a shame that Doon couldn't make it out in Syracuse Orange Man.

Therefore, when Doon followed Anthony and challenged his authority together, Berheim didn't even look at Doon squarely.

Doon's weight in his heart was lighter than air.

However, what Doon had just said was like a boulder, pressing on his heart and on his lungs.

Burheim felt: "I can't breathe!" ”

In fact, it is not a pity that Berheim has a bad master-apprentice relationship with Anthony, and no one can challenge his authority as a coach!

After listening to Doon's words, it was a real pity that he thought he was amazing and eloquent, but he still hasn't won the NCAA championship.

More critically, he has already got cancer, or more embarrassing prostate cancer.

Berheim often worries that he will leave the world with regrets before he wins the NCAA championship.

As Doon said, once this fight is lost tonight, Anthony will leave the NCAA with regrets! How could he not be!

Compared with other sports schools, the Syracuse oranges do not have the ability to point to the NCAA championship every year!

Once Berheim loses the most powerful man in history like Anthony, and wants to win the championship in the next ten years, he doesn't know if he will be able to meet the good fortune of this year.

In addition, once Anthony falls out with him because of today's incident, then his reputation will also plummet.

At that time, there may be no five-star high school students willing to play for him!

"Pause!" Berheim signalled to the referee and made the decision to suspend the substitution.

Then, a stinky face that forcibly controlled his anger and twisted it towards Doon and Anthony.

"Melon, Doon, I believe in you! Go ahead and kick the Kansas Jay Eagle's ass hard! ”

In this way, the first half of the NCAA finals has lasted 17 minutes, and Doon finally got the opportunity to come off the bench in the last three minutes of the first half.

"Melon, pass the ball to me like you did to Gerry before, understand?"

Doon was on the field with Anthony, instructing as he went.

"No problem!"

Anthony is grateful to Doon for stepping up to help him share the pressure when Burheim pressed him.

So, give Doon a signature sunny and cheerful big boy smile.

In this game, the highest scoring point of the Syracuse oranges was not the absolute core, the offensive kaleidoscope Anthony, but the white point guard Gerry McNamara.

In Anthony's 13 minutes, McNamara scored a game-high 15 points on 5-of-7 three-point shooting.

However, in the four minutes after Anthony went off the court, McNamara's original fiery shooting touch was directly frozen by the Kansas Jays's top card - "Wade's nemesis" Kirk Hinrich, and played a poor performance of 4 shots and 0.

It can be said that McNamara's lack of ability to hold the ball, but he wanted to take advantage of Anthony's absence to play hero ball, and he shot too much but couldn't score, which was the culprit of the stagnation of Syracuse orange scores during this time.

And the root cause of this situation is that Anthony has a reputation and is too much of an offensive threat!

The Kansas Jayhawks had to take a step inside the three-point line to adopt a trap strategy for Anthony, who was holding the ball.

It is for this reason that while Anthony is on the court, McNamara, who is a first-year point guard, gets a lot of open three-point opportunities.

Anthony, who was not very good at passing, had four assists early in the 13 minutes of play time in the first half.

There is one word to describe this phenomenon, and that is that melons have a gravitational pull.

In NBA parlance, it means that the library has gravity, and the department has gravity.

The difference between the two is that Curry is caught without the ball and often can't get the ball. Green, a teammate with the ball, was three or five meters into the air, and often saw Curry running a marathon but couldn't pass the ball, and turned to the basket and couldn't shoot.

Kobe Bryant was caught with the ball, and when he saw his teammates in an empty position, he often saw that people did not pass the ball and chose to shoot by himself.

Doon finally got on the court, so he naturally hoped that Anthony wouldn't play too Kobe.

Melon, the water in the final is too deep, you can't grasp it, let me come!

Doon thinks that his ability to shoot in the open position is still very good. After all, the rookie gift package he received opened a template for Ma Jian, which has a lot to do with the number one striker in history!
