This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 95 The Red-eyed Brockman
Before the official jump ball, Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy hugged and greeted each other. Perhaps neither of them expected to meet in the NCAA [-]-round regional semifinals.

The starting lineup of the two sides has not changed much.

Patriots: No. 1 Tony Skin, No. 22 Lamar Butler, No. 35 Zhou Lin, No. 34 Will Thomas, No. 55 Jay Lewis.

Huskies: No. 5 Justin Dantemont, No. 3 Brandon Roy, No. 15 Bobby Jones, No. 40 Joan Brockman, No. 42 Mike Jansen.

"These two teams are also meeting for the first time in the NCAA national competition, but in the preseason warm-up stage of this season, the Patriots once lost to the Huskies. Erwin, what do you think? Or more optimistic Which team?"

"Uncle Bob, this is a difficult problem. Both teams are very good. Brandon Roy in his senior year is an extremely mature shooting guard who is improving every year. I think there will be many NBA teams this summer. Give him an olive branch, as for Zhou..." Elvin Johnson shrugged and said: "I only noticed him in the national competition. He is a magical kid. He was an unknown kid before the senior season."

"And of course his skin color, he's Chinese, and 'Little Giant'

Yao Ming comes from a country, so it is more or less legendary. Of course, if you want to bet, I like to take risks. I like him. He is an all-around player with skilled ball handling skills and scoring skills. "

"As expected, of course you like him, Erwin, he's a six-foot-nine player like you."

"Haha, I see Bird's shadow in him, but you, he can not only score, but also contribute nearly 6 assists in almost every game."

"With such a high rating, at present, Zhou's rating is just a player at the end of the first round or the front end of the second round, and Brandon Roy has the potential to be the top five picks this year, and he is also the best attacking player in this draft. Type guard."

"I don't deny Brandon's excellence. Even if I were the general manager of the NBA, I would select Brandon in the top five. As for Zhou Lin, no matter which team can select him at the end of the first round , It’s all a business that makes no money, have you seen the current George Mason University? It was his arrival that made the team undergone earth-shaking changes.”

The two generations of magicians also commented on the core players of the Patriots and Huskies. Elvin Johnson made no secret of his liking for Zhou Lin because of the same height and the characteristic of assisting.

The game kicked off. After the two teams experienced a full season, there were still some changes in the team.

The two teams are both familiar and unfamiliar.

When the two teams met again, Lorenzo Roma regretted it.

If his sincerity had been more sincere, Zhou Lin would have been a member of the Huskies team.

Just imagine, the lineup consisting of Justin, Brandon, Zhou, Bobby, and Joan Brockman may be the strongest in the history of the Huskies.

At this moment, Zhou Lin is different from his first preseason match with the Huskies. He has matured a lot and has confirmed his status as the No. the better.

In the regular season, he scored 18.5 points and 6.2 assists. In the more competitive March Madness, Zhou Lin's performance did not decline but rose, scoring 33 points and 4 assists with Kentucky, and 24 points and 6 assists with Connecticut.

Zhou Lin's momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and it is inevitable that the next draft's predicted pick will soar. At this moment, he seems to have become a favorite in the eyes of many scouts.

Of course, as a rookie player, Joan Brockman's training attitude improved a lot after the preseason match against Zhou Lin. , This season, he averaged 8.4 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, which is not bad.

However, if you compare goods, you have to sell goods, and you can turn back time. In the situation of choosing one or the other, Lorenzo 100% chooses Zhou Lin and gives up Joan Brockman.

It is worth mentioning that although the University of Washington defeated Utah State University and Illinois State University in the previous two rounds, Joan Brockman handed in two consecutive test papers with 0 points.

Lorenzo's patience is good enough to allow Brockman to continue to start.

Zhou Lin still represented the Patriots jumping the ball as always. Standing opposite him was Mike Jensen in his senior season.

Under the same size, the opponent's Mike Jensen took the first wave of offensive ball possession with better wingspan and bullet speed.

Facing the weak back line of the Patriots, Brandon Roy chose to play hard at the beginning.

Lamar Butler, who is two sizes smaller, can't defend against Brandon Roy alone. This has been confirmed in last year's game, and in the first tentative meeting, Brandon broke through In the heart of the Patriots, facing Jay Lewis' defense, the home team scored the first two points with a high hit.

However, facing Bobby Jones' defense, Zhou Lin also quickly completed a half-displaced singles. Relying on the height of two inches, he abruptly hit the Patriots' first three-pointer of the game.

Zhou Lin didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the previous game. He didn't find the touch at the beginning, but the touch came at the end. He almost lost the game because he didn't have the offensive touch.

At 18'56 in the first half, the Patriots 3-2 the Huskies.

In this game, Blair can't return either. The team can't find a suitable defender for Brandon Roy, so the Patriots can only adopt a 2-1-2 zone defense strategy. Zhou Lin is the 1, and at the same time Also assumed the heavy responsibility of coordinated defense.

Brandon Roy tries a three-point shot from a 45° angle and it misses.

Jay Lewis protected the rebound and directly gave Tony Skinn a fast break, forming a two-line fast break with Lamar Butler, and the fastest chaser at the moment was Joan Brockman.

Just now he picked and rolled for Brandon Roy and stood on the outermost edge.

He ran very fast, and finally let him catch up. When Lamar Butler made a layup, the opponent gave him a peg block.

And grabbed the rebound.

One defends two, not only the defense is successful, but also the possession of the ball is obtained. This situation is still rare.

Brockman's return pass was very fast, and with the return of the ball, he also quickly ran back to his first half. After receiving the ball from Justin Dantemon, he directly rose to the basket. .Thomas dunks directly.

This shot also made Ervin Johnson cover his mouth and said loudly: "What a shocking dunk. The offense and defense in this round made us vaguely remember Brockman who averaged 30+ per game in high school."

In fact, after entering college, Brockman's trajectory gradually became blue-collar, which is also the path that many high school star players would take. But now that he meets Zhou Lin, who is in the same class and has a relationship with him, Brockman is full of fighting spirit, just like Seeing the red cloth like a bull.

This is why coach Lorenzo continued to start Brockman, who performed extremely poorly in the first two rounds.
