Chapter 10 It's Not Accidental
In the first half of the game, the Speedy and Wildcats tied at 44.
Griffin is in a very bad mood now, because this is his home, his stage!
Look, the famous NBA Thunder's Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook all came to watch the game, and the NBA scouts and agents who have made countless newcomers popular all came to watch, the TV station broadcast live, commentary Reggie Miller, one of the greatest pitchers in NBA history...
Isn't such a stage exactly what Blake Griffin has been longing for?
On this stage, beat the Davidson Wildcats, who had miraculously played South Division scoring leader Stephen Curry in March Madness this year, and put up epic numbers that stunned those scouts...
Isn't that exactly what Blake Griffin had planned before the game?
Blake Griffin can't wait to go to the NBA and prove himself.
But Blake Griffin never dreamed of killing a big yellow-skinned man halfway, and Stephen Curry's three-pointer was like a basin of cold water pouring cold water on the fiery Oklahoma University basketball hall. , Lin Yi's debut, his performance of scoring seven points in a row is another cold water pouring down...
"Blake, let Calverdepp guard the Chinese center in the second half to save your physical strength. We need to rely on you to tackle the tough times." Jeff Kapoor doesn't want his disciples to be distracted by opponents. It is true that the Wildcats' China The center played the role of a surprise soldier, but Kapoor thinks Griffin is better.
He didn't want to be fooled by McClop, the prudent old fox must be thinking about using the Chinese center to drain Griffin on offense.
"Don't be disrupted by the opponent. Use your offense to regain the points we lost. I don't believe that Stephen's three-pointer can always be accurate." Jeff Kapoor's judgment is completely correct.
Although the Speed Team is above the Wildcats in overall strength, the Speed Team is a single-core team. If Griffin wants to attack, he must be required to do his best defense, and the young player's physical fitness will soon be exhausted.
Blake Griffin nodded, and the calmed Silly Fen remembered that the Chinese center didn't play a second single before the end of the first half. His high dribble breakthrough might just be accidental.
Calverdepp is the backup insider of the Speedy Team, with a height of 208 cm and a weight of nearly 120KG. Jeff Kapoor adjusted the lineup, hoping to liberate Griffin's ability on the offensive end, and he asked the disciples once they got out. Opportunity to attack decisively, Valdes and David Bilson are much better than other players in the Wildcats.
Stephen Curry had already scored 24 points in the first half, and half of the team's points were basically won by him.
"Stephen, there were a lot of running without the ball in the second half, I'll support you from a high position." Lin Yi touched Curry's head again before the second half started.
"Hey, we're really natural partners, and that's exactly what I meant." Stephen Curry smiled. He consumed a lot of physical energy in the first half, and he also needed to slow down.
In the second half, Lin Yi continued to play, and Assistant Coach Jennings said with a worried look: "He has just joined us. Wouldn't it be too much to let him take on the heavy responsibility of the organization now..."
McClop had a serious look: "Listen, Jennings, I don't think I'm a rookie, don't you forget that this is the NCAA stage, if Lin has potential, he has to show it as soon as possible, here No one has the patience to wait for him to grow slowly, and I don't want to help him grow, but he has to stand up."
There are so many scouts and so many agents. If Lin Yi can play at the level he is training, he will soon be discovered by the top league.
In the second half, the game continued, and the Speedy team made adjustments. Griffin no longer played against Lin Yi, which made Lin Yi heave a sigh of relief.
After all, it is indeed too early to be one-on-one with the prospective champion.
The Wildcats continued the pick-and-roll cooperation between Stephen Curry and Lin Yi. There was a gap in the defense of Calvedepp and David Bilson. Stephen Curry changed his direction and rushed into the inside line. The Speedy team hurriedly retracted the line. At this time, Curry made a juggling pass from the back of his head, and the ball accurately found Lin Yi at the top of the three-point line.
Lin Yi shot directly after catching the ball, but it was a pity that the ball failed to hit.
Lin Yi wiped the sweat from his palms with his shorts. Calverdepp's movement speed was much slower than Blake Griffin, but he flung himself very firmly just now. He shoots three-pointers.
It was Speed's turn to counterattack. Blake Griffin received an assist from David Bilson and easily scored at the basket. After the goal, Shafen also provoked Lin Yi, as if to say: I want to expose you. That flashy exterior!
The Oklahoma Speed s gym suddenly rang out again with a burst of astonishment.
Why are the fans surprised?
Blake Griffin also widened his eyes.
Kevin Durant reminded Westbrook, who was playing on his phone.
Reggie Miller is thinking about how to explain...
Wildcats forward McMillan sent the backcourt ball, but the object of his serve was not Stephen Curry, who was closely guarded in the second half, but their center Lin Yi.
Because their own defenders are being strongly defended, it is not new for inside players to return to the backcourt to catch the ball, and even some inside players will push the ball across the half.
But Lin Yi didn't seem to come back to make a transition, or even to simply hold the ball to advance through the half court. His rhythm and movements of dribbling are basically point guards!
A seven-footer point guard?
Wake up, he is a center!
Team Speed's forward Valdes decided to teach the ignorant Lin Yi a lesson. He stepped forward to pounce, but Lin Yi dribbled past him with a quick back dribble. Lin Yi didn't seem to want to stop. In a brief moment, the Wildcats played five against four. After a dazzling dribble under the crotch, Lin Yi easily broke through the defense of Speedy's inside line Calvidep, and then he made a layup and tricked him. After Griffin's back-up defense, the ball was sent to the bottom corner without looking behind the ball.
Both corners are Stephen Curry's most intimidating spots, both in college and in the NBA.
Stephen Curry glanced at the rim, his slow release as if to say I could eat a hamburger and throw it.
It's out of space!
With such a large space and such a good feel today, and the opportunity to adjust the rhythm, how could Stephen Curry miss it.
Bottom corner three-point pocket!
The Wildcats overtook the score again.
But at this moment, what surprised people more should be the series of actions by Lin Yi just now.
This kind of feeling is as if Yao Ming swayed Iverson away with a frontal change of direction...
"It seems that there is one more person that scouts need to pay attention to and investigate seriously today." JaVale hurriedly recorded in his notebook, an insider with guard-like dribbling skills, JaVale thought for a long time , I couldn't think of who Lin Yi's template was.
