Chapter 31 Concern from San Antonio



Just when people feel sorry for Chris Paul's lonely Warriors, Wake Forest University is also preparing to do its best to equip it with a few capable teammates, but they don't know that Chris Paul has made up his mind and signed up for the draft this year , because although he failed, he was not defeated by Stephen alone, but by a whole. He always believed that no one could be his opponent when he went it alone, and there was no challenge for him in college basketball. As for ncaa The championship, this kind of competition system with too many unexpected situations, is not worth wasting one's youth on it for a championship.

At this time, the results of the first round of the game have all come out. That is, there are strong teams like the University of Southern California that beat the weak teams without any risk, and there are also weak teams that beat the strong teams. The University of Washington lost to the University of Washington. Their Mississippi State University, Purdue University also lost in the confrontation with the University of Northern Iowa, and the University of Texas lost to Brigham Young University is another eye-popping comparison. The University of Texas has maintained a 2-point lead until the last 2 minutes of the game, but was overtaken by Brigham Young within [-] minutes. After the game, Anthony White, the main player of the University of Texas, cried on the spot with his head in his arms. Let many people be very disappointed with this player who is expected to enter the lottery draft.

In the second round, the University of Southern California's opponent is Michigan State University. Although this team does not have any superstar players, its strength is very average, and there are many good players, such as Shannon Brown, Morris Egg, Paul Davis , are very strong players, and in the predictions of experts, the University of Southern California will lose to Michigan State University with a slight disadvantage, and the number of people who are optimistic about Michigan State University is far more than that of the University of Southern California.

It was in this unanimously unfavorable situation that the University of Southern California erupted with soaring fighting spirit. Coupard overwhelmed the inside and beat Michigan State University's center Paul Davis. And their outside players did not show their due strength when they encountered Stephen's defensive iron gate this time, and the University of Southern California easily defeated the opponent.

At this time, the experts who had unanimously predicted that the University of Southern California would lose before the game all disappeared, and the media immediately reversed the limelight and praised the performance of the University of Southern California players. Even John, who did not get many chances to play Rust, was also portrayed by them as a player with great strength.

The media's whimsical behavior is annoying and helpless, but after the next opponent of the University of Southern California comes out, they all agree that the University of Southern California will definitely lose this time, because their opponent is the more powerful University of Florida. Alligators, although there is no such thing as a round football on a basketball court, anything can happen, but the University of Florida is a supernova team that has emerged in recent years.

Before 2000, the University of Florida was still an unknown team. Except for the well-known "White Chocolate" Williams, there were only two role players, Mike Miller and Haslem. After the 21st century, the University of Florida suddenly changed from a small team to a strong team among strong teams. In 2000, it even reached the NCAA finals. In recent years, it has been a frequent visitor to the top 64. , This is a very balanced team. All five starting players scored in double figures, and the average points per game are almost the same. Every game has someone who comes forward, making it difficult for the opponent to focus on defense.

David Lee, Humphrey, Trian Green, James White, plus this year's freshmen Joakim Noah, Al Horford, and Corey Brewer formed a very terrifying lineup. In addition, both offensive and defensive ends are excellent, and the style of play is changeable, which is elusive.

In the second round, facing the rival University of Kentucky in the same district, the University of Florida completely defeated the opponent on both offense and defense, showing their better and better competitive state. Most experts believe that among the final four, There is bound to be a spot at the University of Florida, and their chances of winning the championship are very high.

The top sixteen teams are called the "sweet top sixteen". At this time, the game has entered the stage of national attention. Even though the regular season of the nba has come to an end, the competition for the place in the playoffs is very hot. It was also impossible to attract the attention of the media, but the guessing activities conducted by nba players were particularly eye-catching.

Just when most people were not optimistic, the game between the University of Southern California and the University of Florida began. Since the game was held in San Antonio, this game also attracted some coaching staff from the Spurs to the scene. It is said that the Spurs' picks this year are very low, but the Spurs have always been able to find good treasures in low picks, which is also the result of their focus on the game.

At the beginning of the game, the University of Southern California was still leading for a while. This is because the University of Florida has always been slow and usually shows its strength in the second half. At the beginning of the second half, Trian Green made a three-pointer, leading the score and at the same time kicking off the counterattack.

Then it was David Lee who started to show off in the paint. This guy grew up to be a big man with a height of more than two meters, but he was born as a dunker. After catching the ball, changing hands and dunking 180 degrees after catching the ball in the air, they defeated the "ultimate slam dunk king" James White, and then the two joined the University of Florida together. It's not the same, but David Lee still impressed coach Donovan with his good skills and diligent attitude, although James White's talent is better.

David Lee has excellent jumping, explosive power and flexibility and coordination, but as a white forward player, he did not position himself as the next big bird Larry Bird or the next Nowitzki. On-court style, good defensive awareness, and accurate judgment on rebounding points. Starting as a defensive blue-collar, during the four years of college, he has fully honed his footsteps in the penalty area and his rough and aggressive positioning. And the understanding and execution of tactics, and at the same time build his body into a tough guy like steel.

In the face of Coupard, who is top-notch in physical strength, he, a white player, did not fall behind in the slightest. At the same time, although he was not as rich as Coupard in terms of offensive skills, he used his footsteps and experience to prevent Coupard from moving inside. Let Coupard can only shoot outside and reduce his shooting rate.

In the offense, David Lee made full use of the height and speed of Admondson, who was not as tall as Joakinoah, who was facing him, and kept playing the ball for Jokinoah. The current Coupard and Edmondson are fighting on their own, and they are not opponents of each other at all.

On the outside, Corey Brewer's defense against Nick Young is very good. Nick Young has only scored nine points so far, and Humphrey, who is facing Stephen, only scored five points when he was defended by Stephen, but his strength is average. Hey, what's the use of defending against one person, and there are two of them, Troian Green and Corey Brewer.

Although Benjamin was constantly dispatching troops, Steer Kemal, Johann Rust, and Andre Bouak took turns to play, but none of them could change the situation on the court. In the end, they had no choice but to be cruel and prepared to win with three points. , there is only one Coupard inside player, and four three-point shooters outside. The three-point tactic is either I kill you or I commit suicide. There are also teams that specialize in this tactic, such as this year's No. [-] The seed University of Illinois specializes in three-point tactics, and the effect is very good, but the University of Southern California, which does not usually practice much, can play this kind of tactics well, especially Benjamin, who just replaced Stephen after a while Go up, this guy has no three-point ability at all, what are you doing up there.

Although Stephen has no three-point ability, he has the ability to grab offensive rebounds. Without the guarantee of offensive rebounds, how dare he shoot three-pointers unscrupulously? Since most of the rebounds that miss three-pointers fall on the outside, so It just happened to take advantage of Stephen's strong mobility. Anyway, this kid is like a perpetual motion machine, and he never gets tired at all.

Since Stephen came on the court, basically 80.00% of the offensive rebounds have fallen into his hands. Because he often grabs rebounds, Stephen also has some experience in judging the rebounds. Judging that the landing point is probably at that position, he maneuvered there to grab a rebound. As for the blocking position, can anyone block him?

Anyway, in the eyes of others, since Stephen came on the court, basically the rebounds, especially the offensive rebounds of the University of Southern California, have never fallen into the hands of others. But slowly, others saw his strength.

Although the University of Southern California's three-point tactics didn't have any good effect at the beginning, they couldn't help but they shot a lot, and with Stephen's rebounding guarantee, they were safe and bold when they shot, and soon Nick Young, Ste Kemo Al and Gabe Pruitt adjusted their hands to a fiery level, and saw that the three-pointer was like a rain of arrows, which was unbearable for the University of Florida.

When an old man with snow-white hair on the stage saw Stephen bravely leaping from the crowd of four opposing players, turning two of the hit players over, he shot the rebound to Stekemal on the other side. After bringing in a three-point goal, the old man showed interest in his eyes.

After the game, the University of Southern California narrowly beat the University of Florida 95 to 92. The University of Southern California scored 21 three-pointers in the second half, and Stephen scored [-] offensive rebounds and [-] assists in the second half. The audience scored [-] rebounds, [-] assists and [-] steals, but the score returned to zero.
