NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 77 Who the hell is this!
The game officially begins.

Okafor is the same height as Nick Collison, both 2 meters, although Juwan always feels that Collison is taller when watching the two of them jump the ball.

Okafor: Can the matter of hair be counted as height?

But in the end Okafor won the initiative with his significantly better wingspan.

Phil dribbled the ball across half court, and when Hinrich leaned towards him, Juwan took the lead to catch the ball from the outside, and raised his hand from beyond the three-point line to shoot.

The Kansas player who was facing him was frightened and rushed forward, but it was too late.

He really didn't expect Zhu Wan to be so daring to vote.

"Dangdang!"

Fortunately, the sound of the ball hitting the backboard came from behind, and it missed.

Okafor and Collison jumped almost at the same time, but Okafor stuck in a better position and grabbed the offensive rebound.

"Ah~"

Collison looked at the big elbow flying in front of him, and subconsciously took half a step back.

"Bah!"

As soon as he retreated, Okafor's offensive space came out.

Split buckle with one hand.

Connecticut scored the first goal.

"Hoo~"

Another yell.

Collison was completely dumbfounded.

I haven't seen you this year, how did "Mr. Good Man" become like this.

However, Collison was not surprised when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the team logo on Okafor's jersey. Huskies, this is normal.

Fortunately, Okafor didn't hear this, otherwise he would have to shout unconvinced: "I'm howling a wolf! Kevin Garnett, do you understand!"

"And we're huskies? We're huskies!"

Hinrich held the ball for halftime, Ben Gordon defended it, Juwan stood behind him and waited for an opportunity to make up the defense, and Okafor also followed Collison closely. Obviously, Connecticut's defense in this game focused on the core of the two teams.

Hinrich chose to force a breakthrough. Because of his whiteness, his physical fitness is not good, but his ability to rush forward is considered good on the back line. Even Ben Gordon, who is in the second position, can hardly carry him, so he can barely keep his body in front of him. But this is enough. Zhu Wan watched Hinrich's foot into the three-point line, took another step forward, and quickly pasted him, ready to pinch.

Unexpectedly, Hinrich "turned back and looked at the moon", Kansas's No. [-] position on the outside line took the ball and dribbled it himself. With this adjustment, he opened Phil who was rushing towards him, and then shot a three-pointer.

The ball fell straight into the basket.

scored!

"Three points, Keith Longford, Kansas No. 15 player!"

Zhu Wan went to the frontcourt with the team and glanced at Keith Langford who just made a three-pointer. This face... I really don't have much impression.

He is also a veteran NBA fan, but he can see anyone with a reputation. This guy is really unfamiliar, which means that he has never played in the NBA, or he is a fringe player in the NBA, that kind of water dispenser in the water dispenser.

But even such a drinking fountain player is considered a top player in the NCAA.

Zhu Wan also read Keith Longford's profile. Sophomore, like Zhu Wan, has two years of NCAA experience. At first, Zhu Wan saw his name and didn't have much impression, so he didn't pay much attention to it. But if this guy is really an NBA player, then he has to pay attention.

Let's see again, what if it's fooled?
He was muttering in his heart that Phil also dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and he still gave the ball to him. The Kansas player who was facing him this time saw that he had the ball and hurried forward. He was obviously frightened by his long-range three-pointer just now.

It's just that it was too close, and Zhu Wan's advantage of height and leg length was reflected. The non-dribbler was in front of him to prevent the opponent from reaching for the ball, and then he took a big step diagonally and successfully grabbed the position.

But Zhu Wan did not move forward in a hurry, but the sudden change of pace caught the defensive player by surprise. The latter, who had subconsciously stepped back, saw that Zhu Wan had the tendency to hold the ball with both hands and shoot, so he could only rush forward again hastily.

But at this moment, Zhu Wanbian held the ball with both hands and changed direction in front of his body, just three steps slowly from the side to complete the breakthrough.

Facing Collison's defense under the basket, "Zhu Wan layup" scored the ball.

4-3!

The audience watched the ball pass the Nets on the big screen, and they also gave out huge cheers.

During the whole breakthrough process, including the stepping step and the "worshiping Buddha" movement, you can't see even a little bit of physical talent at all, but the change of rhythm and the familiar movement connection make people feel two words: handsome!
It turns out that the "old man" style of playing can be so good-looking!

University of Kansas head coach Bill Self shook his head slightly. He didn't think his players didn't defend well, but he felt that Juwan was really abnormal. Just this move can tell that NCAA players are no longer at the same level as him.

Hinrich still chooses to be strong.

As the No. [-] position, organization is not his strong point. What this guy is better at is personal attack, especially using his body to force a breakthrough, which is his killer move.

Not to mention the guys from the NCAA, even in the first two years after he entered the NBA, he relied on this trick to make many opponents suffer.

Not to mention the poor defensive Ben Gordon.

But his defensive strength was still good, and he kept up with Hinrich tenaciously, but after taking a dark elbow, he was unable to follow up.

Fortunately, Zhu Wan took a step forward and forced him to stop.

Hinrich, unable to open space with Juwan, first glanced at the basket, seeing that Okafor hadn't stepped forward, he stopped hesitating, and stopped to make a mid-range shot.

But Zhu Wan's hand was in front of him.

This ball is too difficult.

"Bang" sounded.

Collison predicted the ball very well this time, and took a quick jump, but as soon as the ball was in his hand, Okafor destroyed it from the side.

Zhu Wanliu "coincidentally" passed by the bottom line, pocketed the defensive rebound, and then the non-ball-handler raised it high and made a fast break!
Seeing this, the others in Connecticut quickly switched offense and defense, and quickly rushed towards the inside line of the University of Kansas.

A long pass, the ball went to Ben Gordon in the front, and the latter completed the dunk with one hand!
6-3!

From Juwan's rebound to Ben Gordon's shot, Connecticut's offense took less than 3 seconds, which also made the commentator on the scene sigh: "This team's offensive and defensive transition speed is too fast!"

In fact, the rhythm of the NCAA teams is not slow. In other words, the NCAA is not like the NBA. During this period, they all played positional warfare. In the history of the NCAA, as early as the 98-99 season, there was already a "death five" lineup. That's right, it was the St. John's University team with Ron Artest.

Compared with the NBA, the style of the NCAA has actually changed a lot.

But this is also normal. The NCAA can be said to be a test field for NBA tactics. Many tactics such as the original version of the "Triangle Offense" and the "Princeton System" that Adelman is most proud of are all learned from the NCAA.

It's just that NBA players are more capable and can better play the role of the lineup.

But even so, Connecticut's offensive and defensive transition speed is considered fast this year!
This is naturally due to Zhu Wan's command. From taking the ball to discovering fast-break opportunities, and then organizing the ball, this guy is decisive and fast, and he has the taste of a "organizer".

The only problem is that his current personal rapid advancement ability is not good if it is put in the NBA.

But his long pass is very solid!
It made up for his weakness in pushing forward!

This again makes his lack of fast push ability less important.

Of course, the scouts who were there still wrote down these pros and cons in their notebooks.

Back on defense, Zhu Wan high-fived his teammates and signaled to Ben Gordon to switch defensive targets. After two rounds, he could tell that Hinrich's physical fitness was not good, but his strength and tonnage were not what Ben Gordon could bear.

It just so happens that Zhu Wan is not good at dealing with speed players, but he is still sure about this kind of guy who relies on strength to overwhelm his opponent.

At this time, the scene gradually became restless.

Is there anything more exciting than this head-to-head matchup?
Anthony, who was watching the game looking for Zhu Wan's weakness, had a toothache: "Why don't I dare to have such a straightforward 1v1!"

Hinrich didn't back down, he still raised his hand forcefully, obviously he didn't pay much attention to Zhu Wan, but as soon as he touched him, he secretly exclaimed how tough, the man in front of him was much tougher than he thought.

He tried to squeeze several times, but he couldn't squeeze in.

On the contrary, the space for breakthrough is getting smaller and smaller.

so tight!
With a sigh in his heart, he turned his head and turned his back, quickly found the target of the pass, and passed the ball.

Keith Longford got the ball, and still clicked it with a shooting fake. Although Ben Gordon was clicked, he was not completely out of position.

5-6!

Kansas scored five points in a row relying on him, and clung to the score at the beginning!

Seeing him hit again, Zhu Wan couldn't help muttering: Who the hell is this!
