Chapter 006: NCAA Champions, Come Here
In the next offensive round of the Syracuse Oranges who made a three-pointer from Doon, Burnheim called a timeout.
Doon looked at the timer on the sidelines as he left the game and saw that there were 8 minutes and 49 seconds left in the game.
"This is probably the tacit understanding between NCAA head coaches, right?" Doon said secretly in his heart.
Doon knows that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, but human feelings.
As long as they are not mortal enemies in the same city, or life and death enemies in history, they will basically leave a trace of affection, so that the game will not be so ugly, so that they can meet each other in the future.
Under the leadership of Anthony and Doon, the Syracuse oranges stretched the gap to a maximum of 23 points, and now when they come down, the difference is also maintained at 18 points.
With more than 8 minutes left, as long as the Syracuse orange players defend carefully, even if they don't score a point in the next minute, they will not be defeated by the Kansas Jay Eagles.
"Melon, Doon, Hakim, you've done enough for the Syracuse orange people.
Take a break, and I'll send you to play at the decisive time later.
You'll need to adjust and get ready for victory! ”
Burheim pulled the main team and let McNamara play with a group of first- and second-year substitutes to play against the Kansas Jays.
It's not a complete release, although the coach let the other party go, but the player doesn't have such an idea.
With the victory in hand, the substitute players of the Syracuse orange people have no psychological pressure to play, so like the main players, they are also full of hard work and go all out.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and with the blessing of their mental state, the substitute players unexpectedly played quite well.
In the next 4 minutes or so, the Kansas Jayhawks did chase a little point, but only narrowed the gap to 13 points.
Seeing that the point difference was approaching within 10 points, Berheim finally did not continue to pretend, took the initiative to call a timeout, and began to readjust the lineup.
McNamara, Doon, Anthony, Varik, Foss, and Burheim finally put on the best lineup of the Syracuse oranges of the game.
Back on the court, the energetic Anthony relied on singles without saying a word and hit a mid-range shot.
Not to be outdone, Collison made a strong shot to the basket to cause damage, but he made 1 of 2 free throws, and the effect of chasing points was average.
The Syracuse oranges have a huge advantage, continue to play at a low tempo, and wait for the last seven or eight seconds before returning to the core tactic - handing the ball to Anthony.
It was also because McNamara and Doon's shooting threats were too great, and Anthony took the initiative to squat in the bottom corner to open up space, even if the Kansas Jays put on a zone defense, they did not often pack the ball carrier.
McNamara's physical fitness is average, but his ball control skills are still very good.
Even if Hinrich took the initiative to defend McNamara, he couldn't steal the ball from McNamara.
It was also because McNamara controlled the ball that Doon couldn't touch the ball at all for two minutes after he came back on the field, so he ran back and forth.
In the end, thanks to Anthony, the breakaway shot gave Doon a chance to score three points in the bottom corner.
Doon is 3 points short and has a score of 20, so he will naturally not fail to seize such a good opportunity.
Before Longford could pounce, Doon made a quick shot.
With a bang, the ball smashed into the basket, but because the ball was spinning rapidly, it did not pop up directly, but bounced straight upward.
By the time it fell again due to gravity, the basketball bounced back into the basket.
It was a dribble balloon, but it also happened to be the key ball that helped Doon score 20.
"Doon, you're too accurate!"
This time, Anthony did not choose to return to the defense, but rushed to Doon and gave Doon a hard hug.
It looks like a child who doesn't grow up, with a bright, innocent smile all over his face.
"The game isn't over yet!" Doon slapped Anthony on the ass.
"You've killed the game, they're finished!" Anthony is as happy for Doon as he is for himself.
With Doon hitting the three-pointer, the margin was back up to 15 points.
There are only two minutes of game time left, and even if you give the Kansas Jayhawks a Maddie, I am afraid that there is no way to change your life against the sky and turn defeat into victory.
Boom –
Because Anthony and Doon fell off the chain, Collisson, who doesn't talk about ball morality, quickly entered the interior with the help of fast breaks, trying to boost the team's morale with a violent dunk.
Doon and Anthony turned their heads when they heard the noise, only to find McNamara slipping off the baseline with the ball and initiating a long pass towards the frontcourt.
Hinrich and Langford quickly returned to defend, but were still shown off by the connection between Doon and Anthony.
Anthony received the ball and pretended to burst to the basket, but actually gave Doon a ground-hitting pass.
Douane took the ball and immediately stopped and stepped back, standing on the three-point line, waiting for Hinrich and Langford to pounce together, but Doon threw the ball high.
Anthony will follow and relay in the air.
Then he did a "three-finger headshot" celebration and swaggered past Hinrich and Langford.
Whenever Anthony makes a three-pointer or hits a key shot, he does it.
In Anthony's opinion, the empty catch he cooperated with Doon had completely killed the game.
Seeing this, the audience, in addition to the Kansas Jay Hawks fans, were all cheering for Anthony.
Perhaps it was this cheer that became the last straw that crushed the Kansas Eagles.
In less than two minutes, Kansas scored only two points on free throws, and no more open scores.
87-70, under the influence of Doon, the Syracuse oranges led by 17 points and defeated the Kansas Jay Eagles.
In other words, when the game time was over, Anthony, who was holding the ball in his hand, excitedly threw the ball into the air and threw it around.
Just as Anthony ran to Doon to give him a big hug, Doon went to find the basketball that Anthony had lost first.
"Are you going to take it home?" Anthony didn't quite understand.
"I'm going to dedicate it to the coach, but I'll write my name on it in advance!" Doon confessed honestly.
Syracuse University has been around for more than 100 years, and it is just such an NCAA championship.
Therefore, Doon knew very well in his heart that this game ball would never be taken away by a certain player, but would be kept by the school and placed in the exhibition cabinet in the gymnasium.
After this game, Doon is ready to sign up for the next NBA draft.
Fortunately, he also stayed at Syracuse University for nearly a year, and although he didn't have the opportunity to get his diploma, Doon had paid his tuition and couldn't make a trip.
"Doon is here!"
“VENI VIDI VICI——Dune”
Doon took out the watercolor pen he had prepared in advance and left his own mark on the basketball in Chinese and English.
Anthony saw that Doon was so solemn, so he also wrote his own name and an inspirational sentence on the basketball in the same way.
"Let's go cut the net!" Doon motioned to Anthony.
Players can't take the game ball, so they can only cut the net and divide each other's points as a memento to commemorate the victory and victory.
Usually, the people who are qualified to cut the Nets are the head coach and the star of the team.
Doon handed the ball to Berheim, so the manual work of cutting the nets was naturally done by Anthony who was empty-handed.
"Doon, you're going to be very good at it, you're our main player next season." Berheim was pleased with Doon.
Doon just smiled when he heard this.
