This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 55 Be Your Pippen

Lamar Butler, who had regained his composure, finally got a chance on the outside. Zhou Lin attacked the inside more resolutely, allowing the Patriots to frequently get opportunities on the outside. Butler got an open three minutes after playing. chance to score.

One hit!
After all, this is a player who made 43% of his three-pointers last season, and shooting is the norm.

Of course, on the defensive end, it is still difficult for the Patriots to stop the Devil Deacons. As the team's inside core, Lewis will not play again until within 5 minutes before the end of the game.

In the previous period of time, in order not to be hammered inside, all the Patriots can do here is to keep shrinking the inside and choose to bet that the opponent's outside shooting percentage is not high enough.

Blair and Zhou Lin have been walking between the three-second zone and the free throw line, ready to help defend the inside line at any time.

Pressing down on the gourd will definitely lift the gourd, whichever is the lesser of two evils.

When it is impossible to lock both the inside and outside lines, the only way is to give up the defense of the outside line.

Fortunately, the Devil Deacon team's outside shooting feels relatively average. The 4-0 three-pointer allowed the Patriots to spend the most difficult period of time.

And during this time, Blair can be regarded as the one with the most vitality, as if he is present in the entire stadium.

Not only did he help guard the inside line, but he also made a lot of contributions against Justin Gray, one of the opponent's arrow figures.

Although his shooting touch still didn't come back, he tried two more shots in the follow-up, but he missed.

But the score has not been widened, and even the score has been narrowed to only 4 points.

62-58.

The Patriots are here to stay until Jay Lewis comes back.

Konate was replaced, and Blair was replaced.

Substitute Jay Lewis and Tony Skin.

When it came time to win, Jim was still more willing to trust his starters.

Jay Lewis, who rested for 10 minutes, was indeed full of vitality again after his return. Although he might be sent off for five fouls at any time, he took the lead in firing from the inside and made a half-stop. Bian chased for two more points.

62-60.

But what made Zhou Lin very helpless was that Justin Gray, who no longer needed to face Blair's death-coiled defense, suddenly became smoother in his offense.

In the next two rounds, a breakthrough and a three-pointer.

Justin Gray also scored 20 points, 18 of which came against Butler.

2'01, 67-60.

The score has already been drawn.

At least 3 rounds are required.

The rhythm of the NCAA is slow, and it takes 7 rounds to recover 3 points. In fact, it is already a big difference.

Coach Jim called out a timeout to arrange the next tactics.

"Mr. Coach, we need to score, but we also need to defend. Why don't we use taller and stronger guards."

In fact, Zhou Lin was also in a hurry, that's why he said that. Butler's defensive loopholes are too big, and his teammates need to make up the defense too seriously, and once the defense is made up, it means that it is easy to miss his own defense people.

"Zhou, don't question me, this is something I should consider."

"Yes, sir."

The use of players is the decision of the coaches. In the NCAA team, the right of the coach is supreme, and no player can provoke it.

Compared with Blair, Lamar Butler is undoubtedly worthy of more trust.

There is nothing wrong with trusting a player who has played and trained with him for four years.

Back on the court, according to the arrangement of Coach Jim, Lamar Butler got a chance in the bottom corner, but the latter missed the shot. There are too many impacts when shooting.

"Defend the round!"

Although Zhou Lin was a little depressed, he was still the first to run back. On the other hand, Lamar Butler was the last to return to the half. He still wanted to argue with the referee whether the ball was suspected of fouling.

With Jay Lewis successfully blocking Strickland, the Patriots, who once again won the ball, made a fast pass. Zhou Lin took the lead and completed a two-on-one fast break cooperation with Tony Skin.

Zhou Lin has scored 27 points.

It was also the first 20-point game in an NCAA game.

67-62, 1'35.

At this time, Zhou Lin and Butler double-teamed Justin Gray, who was holding the ball, according to Coach Jim's instructions, but Butler fouled while stealing the ball, and the accumulated fouls in the second half had already exceeded 7 times.

Justin Gray hit a 1+1 free throw.

69-62, 1'20.

Although Zhou Lin made a three-pointer to chase points, he raised his personal score to 30 points.

But it was too late, and along with the opponent's center Eric Williams scoring points in the interior, Jay Lewis fouled.

Jay Lewis graduated with five offenses.

Although Eric Williams missed an extra penalty, Barrett also hit a late three-pointer in the next round, which brought his three-pointer percentage to 3%. He scored 9 points and made 10 of 3 three-pointers.

And Justin Gray made two free throws to seal the victory.

73-68.

The Wake Forest University Demon Deacons won the away game.

主队这边周林30分6助攻，杰.刘易斯8分9篮板，拉马尔.巴特勒9分2次助攻。

贾斯汀.格雷24分7助攻6篮板，埃里克.威廉姆斯17分13篮板3次封盖。

The home audience of George Mason University witnessed the home team's defeat. The opponent was a team that was not very competitive in the ACC league, but George Mason swallowed the defeat bitterly.

The situation of 1 win and 2 losses at the beginning of the season is not ideal, and there are still three preseason games, and they have to face Miami, which is also from the ACC league, and the stronger University of Texas, and the University of North Carolina, the king's division!
Opponent, did you pick it yourself?

I can only continue to fight.

布莱尔的NCAA首秀并不算完美，3中0，还有2篮板1抢断2犯规。

Of course, his performance is much better than the data shows.

For example, the defensive end's pressure on the opponent's star guard Justin Gray will not be reflected in the data.

On the day the game ended, he hurriedly sent his parents away, and Zhou Lin accompanied him to practice until 9 pm, picking up and passing the ball to Blair.

It wasn't until he hit [-] three-pointers that the guy stopped masochistic.

"Thank you for accompanying me to shoot." Blair still said a little depressed: "If I can make even one three-pointer, maybe the situation will be different."

"Brother, this is the preseason, it's not a big deal, take a hot bath and sleep well, everything will get better slowly."

Blair said: "Thank you, brother. If you are George Mason's Jordan, then I would like to be Dennis Rodman. Of course, if possible, being Scottie Pippen is the best."
