The Way of the Center

　　 Under the overwhelming cheers, the referee finally threw the highly anticipated basketball into the air. An Jie was like a machine with a full clockwork, jumped up and took the ball easily.

"Hello everyone, audience friends, welcome to Ames City Channel 3. What we are bringing you now is the final game of the NCAA Big 12 regular season season. The two sides are the University of Kansas Jayhawks and Love The Iowa State University Tornado team, this can be said to be the most anticipated regular season of this season. The traditional giants Jayhawks have been among the top this season, and they have not been at the top of the list for a month. , And the biggest dark horse whirlwind team this season has been challenging the authority of the king. Maybe after this game is over, we can call the University of Kansas Jayhawks the "old king". Paul Philips has also been with the Tornado team for a season. It is really a pleasure to explain the game of such a team. Is there anything happier than enjoying work?

　　 "I don't care what method you use! I need scout reports from all of them! That Chinese!? Of course he also wants him! Who knows if he will announce his participation in the draft at the final deadline!"

　　 "Angel! Chalmers! Arthur! I need an accurate and complete report from the three of them after the game."

　　 "Don't tell me that I can't be too busy! We are not inviting you to come for a leisurely meal. If I can't get the rookie report, you will leave, you choose yourself!"

The scouts of dozens of NBA teams also received calls from the managers of each team after the game began. It is very difficult for the scouts to observe so many players at the same time in a game, and to observe them carefully. . Not only the fans, but the managers of the NBA team paid great attention to this game.

　　 At this time, Mike Taylor had already held the ball to the opponent's half. Chalmers did not stick to him, but took a few steps back to prevent Mike Taylor from breaking through. At this moment, Anjie suddenly started to run out to give Taylor a pick-and-roll, and Darrell Arthur suddenly became nervous.

　　 But fortunately, this pick and roll Anjie really just acted as a wall. After the pick and roll, he didn't go down, but left room for the inside to his teammates.

　　 After Tyler broke in, Asakin leaned on Sasha Cowan and turned around and cut into the penalty area smoothly. The opportunity has come, Mike Taylor flicked his wrist and passed the ball.

　　 Asakin is ready to catch the ball, Cowan's footsteps are very slow, it is almost impossible to make up for defending himself. But as soon as Asakin was about to get the ball, a big palm suddenly stretched out.

　　 Brandon Rush! He quickly appeared on the passing route and cut the ball away, and then threw the ball with a long flick to Chalmers who had run to the frontcourt.

　　 Mike Taylor chased after him, he was very close to Chalmers, and there was almost no room for the opponent to layup. The rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions is very fast, but almost everyone focused on Chalmers who ran in front.

　　 As expected, Chalmers forcibly jumped up, and Taylor who followed him also jumped up.

　　 "It's covered!" Mike Taylor looked at the basketball getting closer and closer to his palm, and was overjoyed.

　　 But things went counterproductive. The basketball in front of Taylor suddenly disappeared. Chalmers took the basketball back in the air and passed it outside the three-point line.

"What!" Everyone thought that Chalmers would make a layup, so everyone on the Tornado team closed their defensive positions relatively tightly. No one cared about Darnell Jackson who was waiting outside the three-point line at this time. .

　　 The ball actually passed out! How did Chalmers see his teammates behind him!

　　 Jackson received the ball from the open space outside the three-point line, pulled it up and shot, Cruz rushed to interfere with all his strength, but it didn't help.

　　 "Why!" The basketball hits the net, and the Jayhawks of the University of Kansas take the lead!

　　 In just one offense, the Jayhawks showed their horror. The five individuals with outstanding personal abilities are still very strong. Mario Chalmers, Darnell Jackson, Brandon Rush, this time the fast break has passed the hands of three people, and everyone is Beautifully fulfilled that part of their responsibilities, and finally they used a three-pointer to sound the alarm for the Tornado team.

　　 "My fault." McTayler raised his hand and gestured to his teammates. The pass just now was too simple.

　　 "It's just a ball! You guys hold me steady!" As the game just started, Ricard was already yelling from the sidelines.

　　 Tornado’s offensive round, Darrell Arthur finally ran into An Jie. Since the Tornado team uses a double center lineup with Anjie and Asakin partnering, Arthur, as a power forward, also had to defend with a huge height gap.

　　 Mike Taylor was a lot more cautious this time. He lobbed the ball to Anjie who was near the penalty area after confirming that no one would show up on the pass.

　　 An Jie took the ball with his back to the basket, Arthur still stuck to An Jie, ready to accept the impact.

　　 "Boom!" An Jie pushed it inward, even Catherine sitting in the audience vaguely heard the sound of the muscles colliding. He covered his mouth in surprise, how much force and pain it had to use just now.

　　 Brandon Rush saw that An Jie seemed to be ready to attack, and immediately dropped Anthony Ben, who had poor shooting ability, and prepared to support Arthur's double-teaming An Jie.

　　 "Do you double-team as soon as you come up!?" An Jie knew that he was about to get into trouble, so he had to hurry up. He leaned against Arthur with his right foot and turned toward the bottom line, ready to face the basket. But Arthur would not let An Jie get his wish. He used all his strength, hoping to squeeze An Jie out. At the same time, Brandon Rush also doubled up, and Anjie seemed to have been trapped by the two. However, neither the 2.06 meter Darrell Arthur nor the 1.98 meter Brandon Rush could interfere with An Jie’s vision. After An Jie attracted the defense of the two men, he made a pass and the ball came. Anthony, who cut inside, had his own hands. The inside line was already full of people, and it was impossible to plunge into it anymore. He jumped halfway into the free throw line, preparing to end the offense with a shot.

　　 Anthony. Not good at projecting, but that's only limited to medium and long distances. Anthony Ben's shot is still quite threatening at such close range within the free throw line.

　　 The take-off height is very high, and the hand feels a little stiff. It seems that the trajectory of the basketball flight seems a bit deviated from the basket. Sasha Cowan and Arthur got stuck immediately, ready to grab rebounds. The basketball did deviate from the basket, but the ball bounced into the box after hitting the backboard. This is a rebound shot.

　　 "Good transmission." Anthony Ben pointed at An Jie with his finger, and An Jie responded with the same action.

　　 It's not that he hasn't appeared before. In the game against the University of Texas, Anjie even assumed the responsibility of organizing the offense. Anjie is not easy to make mistakes after encountering double-teams like other insiders. On the contrary, he can always pass the ball to the right place when he can't complete the offense.

　　 "Continue to double-team!" As if seeing the doubts of the players on the field, the head coach of the University of Kansas Jayhawks Bill Self yelled at the players from the bench.

　　The Cyclone team has a strong integrity, which is reflected in the players' chances of getting through complex ball-free runs and ball-free screens. The Jayhawk's integrity is reflected in fast and precise passing.

　　 Everyone touches the ball with one hand, passes it as soon as he receives the ball, and continues to move after passing the ball, and so on. The NCAA's 35-second offensive time was enough for the Jayhawks to use this method to widen the defensive gap. In the end, Chalmers made a mid-range jumper and the basketball knocked to the front of the rim, but it still bounced in. Everyone in the Cyclone team was exhausted, and even An Jie had to follow Arthur around. In previous games, Anjie only needed to focus on defending the penalty area, but the Jayhawks' offensive approach made Anjie very uncomfortable. As long as one step later, Darrell Arthur will use his precise mid-range shot to score points. Anjie can only force Arthur to pass the ball by following him all the time.

　　 After a few rounds, the Cyclone players have consumed too much energy by this style of play. In the past, the Cyclone team always went to consume with others, but today they tasted the taste of exhaustion for the first time.

　　 After Anjie and Mike Taylor were restrained, the other three members of the Tornado team also showed their lack of autonomous offensive ability. There have been three consecutive attacks on Anjie and Taylor without a shot, and these three attacks eventually ended in failure. To replace it when Morris was still in the past, they can at least have one more choice, but now the Tornado team, which lacks an important main force, can only take the bitter fruit.

　　 It didn't take long for Ricard to take down the main players who were completely passive and exhausted. Seeing Ricard's substitution, the Jayhawks coach also made corresponding adjustments.

　　 Because of Morris' injury, Ricard had to start with Asakin on top, so now the two insides in the rotation lineup are power forwards, and Ricard has no centers available. Darrell Arthur is the only starter still on the court. He is not afraid of the inside guarded by two backup power forwards guarded by the Tornadoes, and frequently finishes scoring inside. The players on the bench at the University of Kansas are equally strong. Players such as JR Giddens and Shannon Collison are the absolute main players on any other team, but at the University of Kansas they are on the bench.

　　 Giddens, as a substitute player, he averaged 16.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Not only is he sharp offensively, he is also a player who can play a role on the defensive end. Collison, as a guy who is no worse than Darnell Jackson ~www.NovelMTL.com~ is also an important firepower point on the bench. Compared with the rotation of the Cyclones and the Jayhawks, the difference is not even a star. During the time when the substitute was on the court, the point difference was quickly opened.

"You do more off-the-ball picks and rolls for Taylor! Angel or Taylor, one of them must be able to handle the offense!" Ricard quickly wrote and painted on the tactical board, telling the main players who rested below. Tactics. If you drag on like this, the situation will be hard to reverse.

"Timeout, referee!" Ricard called a timeout. At this time, it was only seven and a half minutes before the end of the first half. The score on the court was 29 to 42, and the 13-point difference was weighed down by the whirlwind. Everyone in the team.

"Angel, you have to play more aggressively! Others just do what I just said! We have to tie the score before halftime!" Ricard waved his fist and the timeout just passed, the player We stepped onto the court again.

　　 "The Tornadoes are in big trouble! The difference in strength between the two teams is huge, but we can see that Coach Ricard still seems confident! He is more passionate than the players on the court!"

"It's not the first time that Coach Ricard's on-the-spot scheduling and the tactical execution of the Tornado players have surprised us. Maybe the University of Kansas is about to start worrying about whether its 13-point advantage is a bit too small." The commentator also Know that the Tornado team will not lose the game so easily.

　　The Cyclone players are not disadvantaged! There is still a lot of game time. The Tornado team is ready to make a fierce counterattack~www.NovelMTL.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read.
