Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 102 [Strong defense]

The game continues.

Luke was ordered to play in a crisis. Before he could start his activities, he made a mistake just after halftime dribbling, and Du Hong cut off the basketball. Redick on the right went down quickly, and Harris retreated into the three-point line, trying to block Duhon's breakthrough, and there was an opening.

Duhon advanced to the frontcourt and accurately sent the ball to the gap. Redick rushed to shoot a three-pointer at 50 degrees. The movement was very elegant, and the ball went hollow into the net. 0 to 13.

Simon wanted to throw the earphones angrily. "Luke made a mistake immediately after the timeout. Role players like the Wolverines...no one expects them to score many points. It's good that they don't slow down on both ends of the offense and defense."

Justin smiled wryly: "The game has just begun. The Wolverines have dug a big hole. I hope they can recover."

After the double screen, Wang Jun finally got a chance to shoot from the perimeter. Bronin's size is more suitable for pick-and-rolls, but he shot more hastily. Although he avoided Sheldon's block, the ball bounced out of the frame.

The Blue Devils attack, and Kaman focuses on Sheldon.

"Savage! You can't guard me!" Shelton reached out to the right for the ball, and did not forget to provoke Kaman. Kamen's blond mess is really a bit of a savage.

Shelton wanted to attack Kaman because of his fame.

Rookies tend to make this kind of mistake, wanting the ball to hit the opponent's strongest defense to prove themselves. It sounds nice to call it "hot blood", but it is more appropriate to describe it as "offender two". If they played like this the whole game, the opposing head coach would die of laughter.

David had just called a timeout and told Wang Jun not to make a forced shot, because he didn't want him to hit Jones and Shelton head-on.

After Sheldon took the ball, he couldn't squeeze it away, he was not tall enough, and Kaman saw through the direction of his turn, and slapped the ball out.

As the best defensive player in the Big Ten, Kaman deserves his reputation?

Wang Jun picked up the ball and passed it to Luke, who passed it to Harris, who was on a fast break.

Harris knocked Redick away with his body to catch the ball, took three steps, and jumped up from the penalty area line on the right. His body was fully stretched, his calves were stuck in the air, and a beautiful tomahawk dunk smashed the ball into the basket! 2 to 13.

Simon yelled, "Finally the Wolverines scored, and it was a morale-boosting dunk! Beautiful!"

David rose to applaud from the sidelines, and the bench cheered for Harris, too.

The Blue Devils attacked and the perimeter ball was given to Jones.

Jones relies on his excellent explosive power to play. He leaned on Wang Jun with his back and turned sharply to the right without any fake moves, just fast and tough.

This method is particularly effective against Wang Jun. Jones turned around, accelerated to get rid of it with one step, and jumped up with the ball.

Bronin was a little slower to make up the defense at the basket, Jones continued to charge and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

This action is very similar to Harris' dunk just now, and he paid back. 2 to 15.

Bronin didn't cover it, and just lightly rubbed against Jones in the air. The referee called a foul and made 2+1 free throws.

Everyone on the Wolverines bench stood up, and David stood on the sidelines and waved at the referee, very dissatisfied with the penalty. But the referee was indifferent.

Jones made an extra free throw, 2 to 16.

When returning to defense, Jones held up his fist with an arrogant posture.

Duke fans cheered loudly.

The tone of the on-site commentator also seemed that the Blue Devils had a chance to win. "The Wolverines, who played against the Blue Devils in the opening game, had no power to fight back. It is not easy for the dark polo team to get to this point. Although they are the third-seeded team, they lack experience in major competitions."

The Wolverines attacked, and the two insiders double-screened again. Wang Jun caught the ball and shot quickly, and missed a three-pointer.

Duke is not without weaknesses. They strictly prevent Wang Jun from receiving the ball, and both insiders have expanded out of the restricted area, which is not good for the protection of the basket.

Harris grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a second offense under the basket. 4 to 16.

The Blue Devils attacked, and David shouted at the players from the sidelines: "The formation shrinks."

Retraction, the overall defense against breakthroughs and shots is the only way for the Wolverines.

If Duke blossoms more,

The Wolverines' chances of winning are slim. The top priority is to prevent breakthroughs, prevent opponents from scoring easily and reduce efficiency.

Wang Jun shrank to the corner of the penalty area and ignored Jones. The latter easily caught the ball and was two steps away.

Jones is the team's top scorer this season. What's more embarrassing is that he is not allowed to make three-pointers. He can only exert his power if he breaks inside with the ball.

Jones knew that his shooting was unreliable, so he rushed inside with the ball. This time, Wang Jun stood far away and could see clearly, blocking the breakthrough route. Jones passed the ball outside to find Redick. Harris pushed Redick with his strength advantage, causing his center of gravity to shift, and he reached out and broke the basketball.

This kind of off-ball confrontation with the referee is generally not blown, otherwise the game will not be played, and the two sides will make free throws from the beginning to the end of the game.

After stealing the ball, Harris didn't wait for his teammates, and took it to the frontcourt to force a layup against Redick. Redick took a foul tactic, Harris threw the ball to the basket casually, a very experienced choice, the referee whistled, and made two free throws.

Harris made two free throws steadily, 6 to 16.

The Blue Devils attacked, Duhon passed to Jones, and his teammates ran without the ball. Jones returned the ball, Duhon missed a jumper from the outside, and Kaman grabbed the rebound.

The Wolverines were in a positional battle, Kaman and Luke picked and rolled in the middle, Luke broke through at full speed and attracted the focus of the defense.

Kaman made an empty cut, Luke passed the ball, Kaman faced Shelton, stormed the basket, and relied on his height advantage to throw the ball with one hand. 8 to 16.

The Blue Devils attacked, Redick missed a jumper after the pick-and-roll, and Kaman grabbed the rebound again.

The Wolverines played very patiently. It took more than 20 seconds for Kaman to catch the ball inside and had a chance to hit Duhon in a misplaced position. Sheldon quickly let go of Wang Jun and went back to the basket.

Kaman passed the ball to the outside, Wang Jun took the ball and dangled it, which attracted Redick to defend and pass the ball to Harris in the right corner, who was completely empty.

Harris has a certain degree of confidence in the three-pointer from the bottom corner. He has been practicing more recently and did not disappoint his teammates. The jumper hit the net hollow. 11 to 16.

Harris was an important scorer for the team last season. Since the arrival of Wang Jun, his scoring average has dropped to 9.1 points per game. He has been very quiet, and finally broke out today, helping the team stabilize the situation.

The Blue Devils were in a positional battle, and several passes could not leave the space. Duhon shot a three-pointer from the outside, the ball bounced out of the basket again, and Kaman grabbed the rebound.

Wang Jun actively played a fast break, Jones was so entangled that he couldn't catch the ball, and Luke was also entangled by Gordon when he brought the frontcourt.

Wang Jun ran after the cover, and was caught up by Jones again. Today, Jones and him mate, keeping close to each other.

From the beginning of the season to the present, Jones is the best defensive player Wang Jun has encountered.

He is like a cowhide plaster, no matter how hard you shake it, you can't get rid of it. Even if he got rid of it for a while with cover, he would catch up quickly.

With 61 points, Wang Jun thought he was strong enough to play well in the NBA, but now he doesn't have such confidence.

If Jones goes to the NBA, what level of defensive player will he be?

If most of the outside lines in the NBA use this method of defense, it would be terrible. Unless Wang Jun can be faster, stronger, and more proficient in dribbling, it will be difficult to score.

Wang Jun didn't expect the NBA to become a mere pitcher. He hoped to obtain unlimited shooting rights and star data.

In the past few rounds, Wang Jun has been thinking of a way to deal with Jones. It is not enough to rely on physical force to get inside. Jones has strong muscles and is taller than him. Immediately after the pick-and-roll, it is easy to be interfered by Sheldon, and it is also difficult to guarantee efficiency.

The theory of playing against the opponent's weaknesses is very simple, but if the opponent has no weaknesses in all aspects, it will be very difficult to do. Basketball defensive experts have a commonality, they are all high-quality people.

Before the game, Wang Jun thought that he would play against Redick, but "Old K" would rather let Redick go to the small defense than make him comfortable.

It's not that Wang Jun is poor, but that the opponent is too fond of him.

After entering the championship, every team has good defenders, and it is impossible to encounter the colander of "American Yao Ming". Duke's two defensive masters rushed to Wang Jun together, so if he can score easily, Xia Tian should become the No. 1 pick.
