Chapter 21 Find a Reason to Beat Duke!
The game between Duke University and the University of Washington was considered a focus battle before the game, but it was not a strong dialogue.
The reason for the focus is not because of the University of Washington, but entirely because of Duke University.
This year Duke University is very strong, very strong!
Starting center Josh McRoberts, the No. 1 high school student in the United States in the same class as Ye Si, is a white center with very comprehensive skills.
Starting power forward Sheldon Williams, a draft prospect who has never fallen out of the lottery, is a popular No. 1 pick.
Starting small forward Lee Melchioni, nephew of former ABA New York Nets and now New Jersey Nets legend Bill Melchioni, father of legendary Duke University captain Gary Melchioni, The second generation of famous stars.
Although after arriving at Duke, his talent bottomed out and he has transformed into a pitcher, but in high school, he was a competitor of the current NBA superstar LeBron James.
Starting shooting guard JJ Redick, last year's NCAA first-team guard, is now the NCAA first-team player.
Starting point guard Sean Ducre, a senior, is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 84 kilograms. He is a well-known outside defender in the NCAA league and is very sticky. Like Roy, he is considered a potential second-round pick.
In addition to these five starters, Duke's bench also sits Greg Paulus, DeMarcus Nelson and other young players.
It can be said that such a strong lineup of Duke University is not only considered to be the strongest in the NCAA this year, but also one of the strongest in previous years.
Duke University is the most well-deserved favorite of this year's NCAA championship!
The media treatment that Duke University enjoys in the NCAA this year is equivalent to the media treatment that the Lakers formed the F4 combination of O'Neal, Kobe, Malone and Payton in the NBA two years ago.
Before the start of the NCAA tournament, Duke University was already the focus of the nation.
All the fans in the United States are waiting for how Duke University will start their new season.
This season, Duke University fans' hope for Duke is: win the championship undefeated!
The best lineup plus the best head coach Coach K, you say, how can you lose!
It is impossible to lose!
Because there is no reason to beat Duke at all!
Therefore, in this game between Duke University and the University of Washington, fans and experts across the United States actually want to see how Duke University parades.
The players and coaches of other strong teams in the NCAA, and the scouts of the players who are interested in Duke University in the NBA, are all staring at Duke University in this game.
As for the University of Washington? who cares!
But I never thought that the University of Washington would let them enter the climax before the game started.
"Washington University's No. 9 Asian player can really mobilize the atmosphere, and Duke University fans will applaud him?"
"If I was there, I would applaud him. When did the NCAA see a player who dared to play like this on the court? Don't you think it's funny?"
"Duke University fans think it's very fresh, and the opponent can't pose a threat, so it's normal to applaud him"
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect last year's NCAA top sixteen team to become a sideshow team to please the audience after Nate Robinson left!"
"I can't wait to play UW so our fans can even see acrobatics at basketball games!"
In front of the TV, many NCAA players and coaches are looking forward to the confrontation with the University of Washington. This team may be weak, but they can play!
Especially that Asian kid!
"However, this Asian boy is really deadly. This is Duke's home court and JJ Redick's territory. He is the most careful person in the entire NCAA. This Asian boy dares to enjoy the applause that belongs to Redick!"
"I guess Redick can score 40 points in this game,
Let's hope this Asian kid walks off the court with the same confidence he has now. "
Jess used to have this pushy habit.
Roy and the others all knew why Ye Si was the most popular of the Five Tigers back then?
A large part of the reason is that he is very good at playing.
Therefore, wherever the Five Tigers went, they would receive the most enthusiastic support.
After they left Garfield, Yeth couldn't play anymore.
Unexpectedly, three years later, he could see Ye Si like this again.
So, even if you know that playing like this here is provoking Duke players, how scary are the eyes of those Duke players now? !
But, who cares!
Ye Si can come to J as much as he likes!
They support you unconditionally!
After Ye Si's 'hot field', players from both sides stood on the field.
The University of Washington's starting lineup for this game is center Bobby Jones, power forward Brockman, small forward Roy, shooting guard Jess, and point guard Conroy.
In the eyes of most Duke players, Roy, the strongest at the University of Washington, is at the same level as Sean Ducre, the weakest starter at Duke University.
With this lineup, dare to act wildly on our territory? Who gave them the guts!
"JJ, you attack the first ball in the game, show that Asian boy some color!"
Even before the jump ball, the Duke players were sure that the first ball was theirs.
Just so confident!
"I know, the massacre will start right away!"
JJ Redick flicked his flowing long hair, and looked at Ye Si opposite him with cold eyes.
"Josh McRoberts' bounce is better than expected. It seems that he is dissatisfied with the first round of the draft this year. It is right to choose to go to college. Duke is a good platform to improve his status. He is smarter than Bynum. He might really be the No. 1 pick, a white insider."
Many NBA scouts on the field and in front of the TV have already begun to count these favorite players of Duke University in their minds.
Bobby Jones' physical talent is considered good among black players, but his height is indeed a little short. With a height of 2.01 meters, it is really unrealistic for him to do much in jump balls.
At the beginning of the game, Duke University got its first offensive opportunity.
Duke's play is a pass-and-run screen play built around Sheldon Williams and Redick.
Williams has one of the best screen quality bigs in the league.
Redick is the best shooter in the league.
The two are a perfect fit!
Therefore, this team does not need the kind of point guard who is strong in possession and breakthrough.
Moving the ball is the style of this team.
Using talent to bully opponents, how can you show the greatness of the NCAA's first handsome coach K?
Even if Duke University has players who can use their talents to tear apart the opponent's defense, DeMarcus Nelson can only sit on the bench and watch how the seniors play tactics.
"Duke's style of play is very disciplined. In the entire NCAA, Redick's running ability is the best. There are not many guards in the NCAA who like to chase people. They prefer to fight one-on-one. Redick is an alternative! "
"That's why he can get so many points! So no matter how many points he gets, he can't improve his ranking!"
Redick's running ability is at the level of a god in the NCAA.
In the American basketball world, few people will play this kind of thing in high school or college.
NCAA players and high school players are very simple players, but Redick is a tactical player with a dirty heart.
Everyone is happily showing their physical talents, but you are shameless in playing tactics, no matter how you look at it.
And Redick took advantage and liked to provoke others.
So, Redick was named the most hated player in America by CBS, and even Duke fans thought it was fitting.
"How long do you think it will take for the Asian kid in this game to get unbalanced by Redick?"
"I don't know, but it should be soon!"
"Huh? Have you noticed that it took Redick a little longer this time?"
"Duke took almost 20 seconds for this attack, right?!"
"The NCAA now has a player that Redick can't get rid of in 20 seconds?!"
After the opening, Duke was executing tactics around Redick as usual.
Generally speaking, according to Redick's running ability, after two or three single blocks, he will not be able to see the defender two meters around him.
Now, it's not two or three single blocks!
"JJ didn't get rid of this Asian kid?!"
Even Williams, who had been covering for Redick, was surprised!
When Duke's offensive time came to 28 seconds, Redick finally got a shot!
A shot against Ye Si's defense!
Compared with the past, this is indeed not a good opportunity.
However, this is already the best opportunity for this attack!
Bang bang!
Shoot for the iron!
The Duke team revolved around Redick's attack, and the Duke team devoted themselves to this attack hoping to teach Yeth a lesson, but it ended in failure!
Looking at the No. 9 University of Washington in front of Redick, the scouts and other NCAA team players and coaches were silent for a while.
"Oh my God, there are still people in the NCAA who can deflate this dirty guy?!"
Watching the No. 4 Duke University who had no chance just now and looked very unhappy after hitting the iron on TV, Chris Paul was very excited!
He was the one who deflated Redick last time, and after that, he was beaten by Redick...
