Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 35 [another team]

Wang Jun and Kaman played the pick-and-roll beautifully and firmly controlled the situation.

The name of this tactic is appropriate, and only when there are picks and rolls can it exert its power. If it cooperates with an insider who has no shooting ability, then there is only blocking, no dismantling, and the power is halved.

The Wildcats' center defended and passed the ball to Kaman. The center didn't go out, Wang Jun shot from the outside, and Harris occasionally made an air cut, which completely disrupted the Wildcats' defensive deployment.

On the defensive end, Wang Jun also excelled. Belloc missed all three shots because he was too far from the basket.

Wang Jun's defense is not to block the block, or even not to jump to interfere, but to fight with his body, let the opponent's body tilt a little, and the rhythm is disrupted to achieve the goal.

When Wang Jun scored the third three-pointer, the Chinese students began to cheer collectively.

"See? Who dares to say that we Chinese can't play basketball well? Haha."

"Wang Jun, great job!"

Yao Ming becoming the No. 1 pick in the NBA has proved that the Chinese can play basketball well, but foreign students prefer players like Wang Jun. Yao Ming's talent is rare in the world, and it is even more admirable that Wang Jun's grassroots player is outstanding.

42 to 20 in the first half, the Wolverines led by 22 points.

Wang Jun made 3 of 4 three-pointers and 2 of 3 two-pointers. He also made a false foul and got a free throw. He made two free throws and scored a total of 15 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

Kaman was equally good, making 4 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, 10 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Center Tony, who was highly expected by the Wildcats, scored no points, grabbed three rebounds, and was blocked by Kaman twice. After this game, the school can use him to solve math problems and calculate the area of ​​his psychological shadow.

The NCAA is different from the NBA. A game lasts forty minutes and is divided into two halves. Instead of breaking it into four quarters of 12 minutes each.

In addition, the NCAA limits the offensive time to 35 seconds at a time, and the efficiency of 42 points in the half of a positional battle is very high.

During the intermission, David said to Adamson: "You will take command in the second half, and you have the final say on how to arrange it. If you still want to stay, prove that you are a qualified coach."

David said it in front of all the players, frankly.

This was Adamson's last chance, and being expelled from school was not something to be proud of. As long as he can be subdued and earnestly perform his duties as an assistant coach, David doesn't want to make things worse.

After all, it is difficult to find a job in a college team. It is not easy for Adamson to get to this point with his years of experience.

Adamson didn't understand it that way, he thought it was David deliberately humiliating him. What can a good half-time game prove? Do you think I can't lead the team as well as I did in the first half? Damn I'm going to prove this team is better without those two slow guys.

Adamson decided to compete, to prove his fast break concept is correct, he changed the lineup.

The center is Bobby Houston, the power forward is 204CM Eric Bronin, the small forward Harris, the shooting guard Powell, and the point guard is Luke.

In pursuit of quickness, Adamson didn't use backup center Haywood because he couldn't make a fast break.

He is from Denver, his favorite team is the Nuggets, and he watched a lot of Nuggets games in the 1980s.

After the famous coach Dodge Moore took office in the 1980s, the Nuggets pushed the fast break to the limit. Many teams have unique tactical imprints. The Nuggets' imprint is "Run". They rely on running to drag down the opponent's defense.

The Nuggets did not perform very well in most of the NBA. The limit level was to break through the 50-win mark in 1985 and 1988, but the Nuggets are indeed the most visually impactful team. Their fast break routines pay more attention to Cross-court ball passing, the time limit from defensive rebound to completion of offense is often controlled within 4 to 6 seconds. In the 81-82 season, the Nuggets averaged 126.5 points per game.

Adamson is a big fan of the fast break.

Men are afraid of entering the wrong line of work, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. Maybe Adamson should not be a basketball coach, but a sprint coach, so that he can shout "Go! Go! Go!" to the athletes on the track and field, and no one will feel disobedient.

Because of Tony's poor performance in the first half, the Wildcats also deployed a small lineup to resolutely play fast breaks, trying to prevent Kaman from going back, and both sides speeded up.

Unfortunately, Adamson didn't get the result he wanted. The Wildcats relied on fast breaks to win last season, and the inside was poor. They are good at fast-paced games, and the main players in the team, except for the center, can't run to death.

The Wolverines attack fast, and the opponent returns to the defense quickly. Once the zone defense falls, the Wolverines' offense will be blocked. Opponents stayed in the penalty area and couldn't come out, so the peripheral players had to shoot and take turns to hit the iron.

Without Wang Jun, the Wolverines have no three-pointers. Kaman is not there, and the low-post attack is no good. The two insiders are not as good at controlling rebounds as Kaman, and they lost three offensive rebounds.

Harris and Bobby played very well in the first half. They knew what their mission was, they covered, passed the ball to Kaman and Wang Jun, and then stood still and waited for the opportunity. Now they have no center of gravity at all, whoever gets the ball will attack.

There was nothing wrong with doing this when there was no pitcher check last season, but after Wang Jun's performance in the first half, neither of them got used to it.

The same fast break, the Wildcats have two outsiders who are good at shooting, and the gap quickly became apparent. They can rush to shoot three-pointers, rely on screens to move, and play more flexibly.

Fourteen minutes passed, and the point difference was narrowed to only 6 points. Not only did the Wildcats score four three-pointers, but they were also able to break into the paint and shoot close to the basket. Their offensive efficiency was completely different from that of the first half.

All fans can see that the Wolverines, whose opponents were helpless in the first half, have become another team.

The so-called tactic is to quickly pass the ball to the frontcourt, and shoot quickly when there is a chance. The frontmost player who has no chance to rush creates his own opportunity. Generally, no one grabs the rebound when the ball is thrown.

Sitting on the bench, Wang Jun heard many people talking behind him.

"Why didn't you let Wang Jun and Kaman play? They played so well, what kind of mess are they playing now?"

"Is the coach really betting on Wang Jun? What is there to bet on? He is obviously the most powerful outside line."

"It's too bad. I feel like I'm going to hit the iron as soon as I shoot the ball. If you don't change players, don't you want to win?"

"Crazy fitness pays off! Seeing Wang Jun, I want to lose weight too!"

Adamson also heard the audience's comments and lost his mind.

Is he wrong? Is playing positional warfare the best way to win? Is Wang Jun really what the team needs, the most critical outsider?

Adamson shook his head desperately, trying to get the thought out of his mind. But he thought of Wang Jun's shooting scene again, just looking at the arc, he felt like he was about to go in as soon as he shot.

He doesn't want to believe that a Chinese outsider with average physical fitness can play basketball well, but that's the truth.

If you don't change players, if you persist for a while, maybe they will hit a smooth game soon and widen the gap.

Adamson stood on the sidelines watching the game with a fluke mentality, and had forgotten what the head coach's responsibilities were.

What kind of head coach is he who is continuously chased by the opponent but does not change his tactics without any on-the-spot response?

The ball was knocked out of the sideline, and Wang Jun and Kaman played. David did not know when he applied for a substitution.

Adamson wanted to ask, "Didn't you say that I will direct in the second half?" But the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

David is the head coach.
