This Forward is Not Serious

Chapter 35: "Black Yao Ming"

   The opening ceremony is over, and the two teams' starting lines have appeared one after another.

   Hibbert and Wendell’s jump ball in midfield.

   The cheers on the scene have begun.

   Even if the cheers hadn't reached the highest point, they had already shook the eardrum.

   The University of Texas team frowned.

   This really makes them feel a little uncomfortable!

   "Beep!"

   Just then the referee blew his whistle and the ball was thrown straight into the air.

   Hibbert made a light jump and dialed the ball back to Georgetown University's half.

   Compared with the University of Texas, Georgetown University has obviously gotten used to it because they play several games of this size every year.

   Wallace controlled the ball and steadily advanced to halftime.

   Seeing that the opening guard at the University of Texas was man-to-man, he stretched out his hand and made a tactical gesture.

   Under his command, Georgetown University began tactics.

   Hibbert fell to the low post, then two players were on the strong side and two players were on the weak side.

   This is the most common 2-1-2 position in the Princeton system.

   This position is very similar to the triangle offense, or it should be said that most low post offenses are played in this way.

   Hibbert leaned against Wendell, and Wallace dropped the ball in.

   Hibbert didn't worry about attacking after getting the ball. He glanced at the position of Lin Ying behind him, and then started back-playing.

   At this time, the existence of Summers is very important.

  Because he has the same range as Lin Ying, Lin Ying didn't dare to let him go to help defend the basket.

   As a result, Hibbert leaned on Wendell and then slowly turned around and scored.

   buckle is impossible to buckle. Hibbert’s explosive power buckles in situ, and you treat him as Yao Ming.

   It's just this way of putting the basket, and in front of the absolute height and power gap, Wendell has no power to parry.

   Barnes shook his head when he saw it.

   Although it's only the first round, the disadvantages of the University of Texas insiders are exposed.

   Fortunately, the offense that came up from the University of Texas felt good. Durant faced Samos with a low back and turned around to make a hit.

   This ball is very easy to play.

   Georgetown University did not arrange a match-up defense, but made Samos, who played power forward, dislocated to defend Durant.

   This is not surprising, Durant's height is still high-handed even in the third position.

  When Kansas and Texas were playing, most of the time defending Durant was played by power forwards Arthur and Wright.

   And the Georgetown University small forward is Jeff Green, the team has to rely on his offensive firepower.

   Speaking back to Summers, his technical characteristics are very similar to those of Lin Ying, but his talent, especially his wingspan, is a step behind Lin Ying.

   I won’t say how terrifying Durant’s own wingspan is. He usually engages in offensive and defensive battles with Lin Ying in the training hall.

   So Lin Ying's arm-span defense has adapted to him, so it is natural that Summers is of this level.

   And Hibbert was slow and couldn't help him.

   So after Durant finished the ball, Barnes smiled again.

   I'm inferior inside, but you can't prevent Durant from low position!

   Even if you hit me like this, the University of Texas won’t lose.

   Wallace continued to hold the ball to the frontcourt, and Hibbert also went low.

   And this time he was reaching out for the ball before he was fully occupied.

   The ball in front is just a small test, and then he will use his strength!

   But at this time, Wendell adjusted his defensive strategy, withdrawn from the bench and then moved forward!

   Although his ability is not particularly outstanding, as an old player who has played in the NCAA for three years, his experience is still very rich.

   It's just that his trick didn't work.

   Because the ball in his hand is Wallace, who is also in his junior year.

   Hibbert was suddenly withdrawn from the bench and lost his focus, but fortunately, Wallace did not choose to pass the ball, but turned his head and gave the ball to the wing Green.

   After receiving the ball, Green faced James. He grabbed the ball with one hand and looked like Tracy McGrady. The next second he suddenly accelerated and broke through.

   James, did not keep up.

   Green is known for being versatile in the NCAA.

   Generally speaking, this kind of player can easily become totally incapable in the NBA.

   But Green still played well in the NBA.

   Had it not been for the devastating aortic aneurysm, he would probably become an All-Star player.

   So you should be able to understand that his omnipotence is really omnipotent in the NCAA!

   After Green's breakthrough, the second acceleration did not give James a chance to chase.

   Wendell could only help out after seeing it.

   Green threw the ball into the air without saying a word.

   Hibbert has adjusted his center of gravity at this time. After seeing the ball coming, he jumped slightly and hit the ball with his left hand and hit the basket.

   "Boom!"

   There was a loud muffled sound.

  Because of its high altitude, this kind of aerial connection does not require him to have much explosive power, but the effect of aerial connection is very shocking!

   And the key is strength.

   Hibbert is slow, but he is big and powerful, and it really blows the frame.

   This empty reception also ignited Hibbert's emotions, and he turned his head and glared at Wendell.

   Stadium was also filled with cheers from Georgetown University fans in an instant.

   If the offense in the first two rounds of the game is described as smooth, then this dunk is a huge ups and downs suddenly, and it jumps to the highest point.

   The emotions of Georgetown University fans were ignited early!

   "Defend! Defend!"

   Within two rounds of the opening, the stadium began to sound deafening shouts.

   That wave kept blowing like a sonic boom, and the players from the University of Texas were already a little confused.

   In the shout, Georgetown University's defensive enthusiasm is also very high.

   Augustine and James didn't have a chance to play the weak triangle. They turned around and passed the ball to Lin Ying. The intention was too obvious, which was prejudged by Green.

   A saved steal, after grabbing the ball, Greene opened his feet and ran forward.

   Under the gaze of more than 60,000 spectators in the audience, Green looked back and glanced at no one to catch up, and then stepped into the air from the free throw line.

   "Boom!"

   One-arm glide buckle with a flat frame!

   This time, the emotions of Georgetown University fans were completely ignited.

   A large number of fans got up from their seats and waved their fists vigorously.

   This is the rhythm they are familiar with.

   In the past season, Hibbert and Green led them all the way.

   Tonight, Durant and his University of Texas will also be another stepping stone on their way to the championship!

   Georgia Dome, the cry is still there.

   Lin Ying got the ball ahead of schedule this time, and then steadily fed the ball to Durant.

   Durant continued to play Summers in the low post.

  Samos is also wiser, and this time he goes to the outside defense.

   Durant's reaction was also very quick, almost turning around and hitting the basket.

   This ball also showed Durant's most buggy talent.

   Height, wingspan, and shooting are not the scariest part of him. The scariest part of him is his coordination.

   There has never been a player of this height yet able to be so flexible.

but!

   Unfortunately, Hibbert stood under the basket.

   Durant was directly pressed by Hibbert before the shot!

   Compared to offense, Hibbert can get the maximum salary in the NBA by his defense.

   Because of his existence, the NBA even considered rectifying the vertical cylinder rule.

   His defensive ability in the penalty area is a bit too abnormal.

   Even though Durant did dodge, he was ruthlessly blocked in the end.

   And the ball finally landed on Durant's body.

   Georgetown University's ball right!

   Hibbert roared directly after seeing the penalty.

That's it!

   That's how it feels!

   The feeling of ruling the restricted area!

   The scene shot cut to the bench of the University of Texas at this time and was given to Barnes.

   Barnes's expression is solemn.

   Originally, he thought it was good for the two teams to come and go.

   Unexpectedly, Hibbert's sudden outbreak caused the situation to fall completely to Georgetown University.

   After hesitating for a while, he got up and walked to the side of the court, shouting to the players for a while.

   University of Texas, adjusted the defensive formation.

   Barnes mentioned how to defend Princeton when he was mobilizing in Austin.

   Now he is in action.

   The University of Texas changed from man-to-man to 2-3 zone defense.

   The focus of this zone defense is to protect the basket, or more specifically, to limit Hibbert's power in the basket.

  Some people may ask Barnes why he knew this tactic was useful but didn't use it at the beginning.

   One is that he has never played against each other before, and he did not expect Hibbert to be so destructive in the interior;

  Second, there are pros and cons to the defense of the zone. The defense of the zone means that you have to bet on the opponent's outside touch.

   Wallace is indeed experienced. After seeing the University of Texas switch to zone defense, he reached out and made a new tactical gesture.

   Hibbert still falls to the basket to attract the defense, but the ball is not feeding in.

   It was Samos who mentioned the high pick-and-roll at this time.

   After the ball drove the defense formation of Texas University, Wallace scored a pick-and-roll and scored to the opponent Green.

   I said that Green is all-around, and of course he also has a three-point range.

  Because the zone defense is impossible to come back at this time, his ball is basically empty.

   He even adjusted his posture before making a move.

   Green's three-pointer is not fast, but his posture is very standard.

   If there is an analogy, it is very similar to Lin Ying.

   The trajectory after the ball is shot also looks very positive.

   Barnes saw Green's heart cold for more than half of the shot.

  The basis for the zone defense to limit Princeton is that the opposite outside feels average.

   But it's Green's ball.

   "Huh!"

   There was a crisp sound.

  Barnes's heart was cold.

   Fortunately, looking back, Augustine and Lin Ying played a corner attack, and Augustine made a life-saving three-pointer from the outside!

   He took a long breath.

   It’s okay, it’s not cool.

   7 to 5.

   Although the situation is very passive, but this three-pointer allows them not to lag too much behind in the score.

   Only in the next round, Wallace broke through and took away Lin Ying and knocked the ball back to Summers on the outside.

   Summers shot directly against Augustine!

   This kind of ball is very bold, and even Hibbert at the basket doesn't think he can make it.

   "Huh!"

   But a very penetrating voice came out through the loudspeaker.

  Samos’s three-pointer also scored!

   Georgetown University, made two consecutive outside three-pointers!

   This outside line feels hot and hot!

   10 to 5!

   points difference came to 5 points again.

   Okay, Barnes is already cold.

   The Georgetown University fans at the scene were totally hilarious.

   A large number of fans stood up and waved the sign in their hands while shouting.

   From the beginning of the game to the present, Georgetown University’s shots have not been missed!

   This performance has not only met their expectations, but far exceeded them.

   They increasingly believe that the team will reproduce the glory of 1984 and reach the top of the NCAA again!

   "Rick?"

   Springman called Barnes at this time.

  Barnes didn't respond for the first time, and he waited until Springman repeated it before turning his head.

   Springman didn't need to speak at this time, Barnes knew what he was going to say.

"not the right time yet."

   But Barnes still didn't intend to use that tactic.

   It's not that he doesn't trust Springman, but that he thinks more about things as a head coach.

   There is a high probability that Lin Ying can't prevent Hibbert in this state. The most important thing is that there is not enough time for tactical training.

   You must know that the strongest tactics of Princeton are not Hibbert, but its most well-known "back door".

   means the back door, as the name implies, it is the back door.

   Which one behind? Of course... not what you think!

   It refers to being a ball-handler, usually the center with the ball facing his teammates, using fast hand-hand passes and pick-and-rolls to create a direct scoring channel to the basket behind him.

   And this back door is not only initiated by the ball-handler. You have a pick-and-roll on the side without the ball, and then let the ball-handler pass the ball, which can also cause the back door to appear. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

   There is also a classic motto on this back door: Don’t turn your head, otherwise you will open the back door!

What    said is that it happens all the time, and it is also the most straightforward embodiment of Princeton's tactics of "human movement, ball movement, and coordination".

   Especially when the defender's defensive position is not clear, or the defensive position is wrong, the opponent will immediately open the back door to score.

  Using a tactic that is obviously insufficiently trained, once there are frequent mistakes in defensive moves, the problem facing the University of Texas at that time is not lagging behind in the situation, but... collapse!

   However, the predicament in front of me is also visible.

   Georgetown University feels so good on the outside line, it is very likely that he would be shot through without making a change, and then crashed.

   He walked to the end of the bench and motioned for Pittman to get up on the court.

   Pittman looked incredulous when he saw Barnes calling himself.

  Because he had so little playing time during the regular season, he didn't expect to get a chance on the stage of "Crazy Three" at this time!

   "Squeeze him out of the penalty area, don't think about blocking or doing other things, and protect your rebounds."

   After Pittman stood up with excitement, Barnes did not forget to speak.

   Until he played, he still looked at Pittman's huge back for a while in thought.

   Although Pittman has achieved remarkable weight loss, he has lost almost 40 pounds this year, which is very inspirational.

   But he is still slow, too slow, "extremely slow" like his name.

   This is also the reason why he usually has no playing time on the team because he was caught and beaten by the opponent when he went up.

   But tonight I meet Hibbert, who is also not fast, Pittman may be able to play the role of a "smart soldier".
