Chapter 19: Whetstones and Stepping Stones

In the 05-06 season, the University of Washington's NCAA opener was on November 11, 2005.

An away game against the Duke University Blue Devils, one of the four super-seeded teams this season.

Before the start of this year's NCAA, expert fans across the United States selected the four strongest teams this year.

Duke University led by JJ Redick, Sheldon Williamson, and Josh McRoberts, the No. 1 high school student in the United States in 2005, ranked first.

In addition to Duke University, the remaining three teams are (University of Connecticut), TEXAS (University of Texas) and Tech (Georgia Institute of Technology)

If Webster and Nate Robinson do not participate in the draft, UW can also rank in the top four and become a big favorite in this year's NCAA championship competition.

Now, without Nate Robinson and Webster, the University of Washington is regarded as the belly of the famous family.

Generally speaking, a prestigious school like the University of Washington has no chance to confront Duke University.

In the NCAA, a season starts in early November and ends in early April, a total of five months and three stages.

November and December are the "non-league competition" stage, and the team can go to any NCAA team to negotiate and play the game.

For example, the University of Washington is in the Pac-10 league, while Duke University is in the league. Two teams from different leagues can play in these two months.

As long as it is discussed in advance and approved by the NCAA league.

When Duke University signed with the University of Washington last year, they never thought that the University of Washington would change from a strong team to a big fish.

The two teams in the "non-league competition" need to pre-sign 2-4 years in advance. If you sign the contract and don't play, you will lose money.

Every year, the strong dialogue of the NCAA non-league games is sold at a sky-high price across the United States.

Even if the University of Washington has become a belly now, this game between the University of Washington and Duke University is also a live broadcast game across the United States.

After the NCAA has 13-14 games in the two-month "non-league game" stage, the next January, February to mid-March will be the "league game".

In the conference game, the University of Washington and the Pacific Ten Conference team will win the championship, and the Duke University and the league will win the championship.

After the league games in the divisions, it will be the "March Madness" that the whole United States is crazy about, the NCAA National Championships, the exciting single-game elimination system, and finally decide the NCAA champion all the way.

For Duke University, there is not much game value against the current University of Washington.

Duke University's Redick and Sheldon Williamson's "boxing combination" has been honed after three years.

Duke does not need to use weak teams to hone the lineup now, and this year is the harvest time for Duke.

They now need to play a strong team to test the lineup, not bully the belly.

"Maybe the only value this game has for us is that it's a nationally televised game"

In the Duke University training hall, the head coach of Duke University, Coach K, was thinking helplessly.

Coach K is very helpless, but the players of Duke University are very excited!

Duke University has a lot of national live broadcasts every year, but most of them are playing strong teams.

The national live broadcast means high exposure. For these players who want to enter the NBA, high exposure is an opportunity to improve their pick.

Get super data in the high-exposure competition, and finally stage the story of the ugly duckling turning into a white swan, everywhere!

The NCAA has more than 300 teams and more than 4,000 players. How can there be so many NBA scouts? Everyone and every team goes to investigate.

Without exposure, you don't even have a stage to show off.

The national live broadcast is the best show stage!

It is a little unfortunate that,

The national live broadcast is a dialogue between strong and strong, and it is not easy to play good data.

Fortunately, it's a live broadcast across the United States, and the opponent is a fish belly!

"jj, the latest draft prospect only ranks you 15th in the first round. This is not acceptable. They don't even know how strong you are. You are now the strongest player in the NCAA! In this game, we want to show the whole United States The power of our boxing combination, I want to be the champion, jj wants to enter the lottery! I want to kill Bobby Jones, jj wants to swallow that yellow-skinned kid!"

"I want to score forty points in this game!"

If he doesn't show good data in this game, jj Redick thinks he is committing a crime!

Justin Duntmon and Ryan Appleby were heartbroken when they arrived at UW.

With the approach of the game against Duke University, it has become even more heart-stopping recently.

Not only did they have to be constantly ravaged and rubbed by Ye Si in the team training game, but they were also threatened by Ye Si in the training class to play the "chicken" of the eagle catching chickens.

Running all over the field, Ye Si, the eagle, caught all over the field.

This is really not the college life they want!

They came to the University of Washington to ravage Ye Si, not to be ravaged by Ye Si!

One misstep will cause eternal hatred, and the thought of being tortured by Ye Si for another four years in the future makes Deng Temeng and Appleby want to cry without tears.

"Justin, Ryan, it's too slow! Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up, you don't even have Redick's speed, and you still want to play in the team?!"

"Tell you to run, not to let you run blindly. Chickens like you can't even avoid a dive of an eagle!"

Three days ago, the head coach of the University of Washington, Romar, wanted to use the game against Duke to wake up the super-genius Yass.

Redick is not only the strongest guard in the NCAA, but also the most annoying player in the NCAA.

He is not only powerful, but also has a particularly arrogant personality. In the NCAA, he is known as the away silencer.

What I like to do the most is to provoke the opponent's players and fans first, and then crush the opponent's anger with one goal after another, to enjoy the silence of the opponent in front of his strength.

Such a player is the most suitable to be Ye Si's whetstone!

but now……

"Mr. Romar, Yesi's off-ball movement skills are excellent!"

"Well, it's really good!"

Yeth is actively training against Redick these days.

Anyone can see it.

And his off-ball movement skills are as amazing as his offensive skills.

This is the result of Ye Si's greatest efforts in the past fifteen years!

Positions: Point guard (100%), shooting guard (100%), small forward (75%), power forward (15%), center (5%)

The row of data on his attribute panel is not meaningless!

This means that his point guard skills and shooting guard skills are evaluated as 100% by the system, and even his small forward skills are 75%. His perimeter skills have almost no shortcomings!

He was called Seattle Jordan in his first year of high school, the son of Seattle, and he didn't just come here by chance.

What he lacks in attribute points, he does not lack any skills.

With low attribute points, these technologies are flashy and can only bully the weak.

When his attribute points are high, he can immediately pick up these skills and fight against the strong!

Now that his explosive power and speed have improved, his off-ball running skills can't even get rid of him with a top-notch speed-type short guard like Duntmon.

He now even feels that his technique may soon become a skill recognized by the system!

Every skill recognized by the system is extremely precious. Even in the NBA, there are not many skilled players.

Seeing Ye Si like this, the two coaches of the University of Washington were actually very disturbed.

Can Redick really teach Yesh a lesson?

Romar and Ozeberg had huge doubts in their hearts.

"Mr. Romar, Duke's pick-and-roll and screen quality are very good. Redick may not be as fast as Duntmont, but his running skills and height are not comparable to Justin. If he doesn't use his jumping and Strength talent, it's not that easy to beat Redick, when he found out that he needs to use his physical talent to beat Redick, our plan succeeded!"

"hope so"

Jess met jj Redick in the first NCAA game, which made Roy and the others very worried.

Keyes was very excited!

Live broadcast across the United States, Duke, jj Redick!

Converting this game into the NBA, that is, live broadcast across the United States, the Lakers, Kobe!

As long as he can perform well in this game, then he will immediately enter the discussion of draft prospects!

There are more than 4,000 players in the NCAA, and there are only about 100 players with draft prospects that experts and media pay attention to!

The other 95% of the players have played for four years and left the NCAA in obscurity!

Can unknown players be drafted by the NBA?

It's hard!

He wants to step on Redick to make a name for himself!

And who better than Redick to be his stepping stone!

Redick is famous enough, Redick's style of play, he can match!

In terms of his off-the-ball running skills, he can ensure that he appears in front of the opponent all the time, ensuring that the defense does not lose its position!

If the opponent plays with strength, he will be knocked away, knocked down, and chased and beaten by the opponent!

But not JJ Redick.

Redick's strength is indeed stronger than him, and his jumping is better than him, but his offensive method does not use his physical talent, but his running and shooting ability!

Compared to running position, compared to speed, compared to explosive power, and even compared to shooting percentage.

He is no worse than Redick now!
