The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 34 The Mighty North Carolina

The timeout ended and Lawson re-entered the game.

"I thought he was gone?" Lin Yue whispered.

"Lin, he's a favorite in the lottery show. It's not easy for a 180cm player to achieve this. Be careful." Curry reminded Lin Yue a little underestimated.

"But he's against you."

"..."

As soon as Lawson came on the court, he received a pass from Ellington and made a direct three-pointer.

answer ball.

This was Lawson's first three-pointer in this game, but he seemed to find his shooting bag as soon as he came on the field, plug and play, and returned Curry a three-pointer when he came up.

Is your name Curry?
In the defensive round, Lawson directly pressed his body against Curry. Although he is only 180cm and weighs 88kg, he is stronger than Curry in terms of strength. Under this suddenly stronger confrontation, Curry suddenly became uncomfortable and transferred the ball without a suitable shot.

I have to say that Lawson's defense is not as bad as imagined, and he can directly defend alone when Curry feels overwhelming. Is this a macho?
Contrary to the sluggish start, Lawson's ability to adjust is really good.

Lin Yue won the ball again. At this time, facing Green's iron gate defense again, he did not have the confidence to beat Green alone.

Lin Yue called his teammates to cover him, and successfully replaced Ellington. The goal was achieved, and Lin Yue was secretly ecstatic.

Ellington's scalp was numb right now, and now he's coming again after the first half. Are you annoying? Is he a soft persimmon?

I don’t give you any color, but I still think I’m awesome, right?

Lin Yue's inner drama is not as rich as Ellington's. Lin Yue's crossover rhythm changes, catches the ball to his habitual right hand, exerts force with his right leg, and uses his most familiar layup method.

Protect the ball with his left hand to fend off Ellington's interference, hold the ball with his right hand, make big strides, and make a standard three-step layup.

After solving Ellington's defense, only Hansbrough was left at the basket who had been waiting for a long time. In the first half, he had already taken a chance on Lin Yue, and he was also confident in taking this shot.

He wants to make the inside line a no-fly zone, especially for people of yellow race like Lin Yue who are not good at jumping.

Look, another impressive one?I, Lin Yue, fight elites.

Lin Yue leaped vigorously, Hansbrough took off at the same time, and the rest was the aerial confrontation.

While Lin Yue stayed in the air, he switched his ball-handler from his right hand to his left, avoiding Hansbrough's hands, and succeeded in a layup with a pull-bar.

oh!oh!oh!
Lin Yue used an extremely elegant lever to avoid the defense of Hansbrough, the No. [-] NCAA power forward, and succeeded in a layup.

His superb stamina and adaptability won the appreciation of the scouts present. Lin Yue changed the impression that he could only pass the ball, and this ball became a highlight moment of his NCAA career.

The audience was so shocked that they didn't even have time to cheer.

The "North Carolina Five Tigers" were also surprised. Such a goal was scored by a yellow man, which is called a "black sport" here. Lin Yue used his jumping and staying in the air to rectify the name of the yellow race and the Chinese.

Just like his name, one jump is the sky, and no one knows the limit.

After Lin Yue scored a goal, Curry was the first to run up to high-five Lin Yue. The stronger Lin Yue's performance, the more he looks forward to the near future. Maybe March Madness is really waiting for them.

In the next few minutes, North Carolina relied on teamwork to play steadily. Although Lin Yue and Curry played well, the score was never close to within 5 points.

When it was time for the rotation in the second half, Curry and Lin Yue were replaced at the same time to rest, preparing for the final 5 minutes of the decisive battle.

North Carolina, with a deep and strong lineup, reopened the score under the excellent performance of the substitute lineup.

There is a blue called North Carolina blue, and Curry once hoped to go to this famous school, Duke, North Carolina.

But they failed to take a fancy to him. They lost miserably against North Carolina and Duke last year, and there was no suspense at the end of the first half.

With the arrival of Lin Yue and the growth of the whole team, they have also become competitive, and they still have the strength to fight against North Carolina.

Curry and Lin Yue sat off the court for 3 minutes and were replaced by McKillop again.

With a score difference of 8 points, there are still 5 minutes before the end of the game.

The point difference is not big, and there is enough time, but it is difficult to catch up with North Carolina.

However, McKillop is very satisfied with the performance of the players. It is obviously unrealistic to win North Carolina as soon as they come up. North Carolina, with all healthy members, is one of the best teams in the country.

What is Davidson College?
People's impression of this school is probably that it is a good liberal arts college, strong in academics and weak in sports.

It would be nice to be able to enter the NCAA Division [-] league. They are all schools for scholars, and after all, they are almost inferior in sports.

However, the school took sports very seriously, renovated the basketball court, and the team hired McKillop and gave him full responsibility.

It is precisely because of this that Curry, Lin Yue and others have the opportunity to come to this "New Ivy" school.

North Carolina is Jordan's alma mater. It is well-known nationwide in sports. It has cultivated many outstanding sports talents, and some of them enter the NBA every year.

In this game, the performance of the Davidson Wildcats was beyond the expectations of the media. I came here today just to interview North Carolina.

Davidson?Just the team where the son of NBA player Dell is on.

Curry and Lin Yue were replaced, and the "North Carolina Five Tigers" also returned to the field, and the decisive battle began.

At this critical moment, North Carolina began to transfer the ball to Hansbrough. This handsome white guy is the tactical core of North Carolina's decisive battle.

The core of Davidson is Curry, a competition between the inside and the outside.

Whether it is Curry or Hansbrough, who can stand up at the critical moment.

North Carolina's possession of the ball, Hansbrough received a pass from Lawson inside, and Davidson continued to double-team inside.

Hansbrough moved the ball away and then received the ball again. After a short one-on-one opportunity, he used his inside skills to sway the defender and scored the ball.

However, the Davidson Wildcats failed to continue their firepower, Curry was restrained, and Lin Yue was stalked by Danny Green.

Richards made a layup by himself and managed to avoid Hansbrough. The result was slightly stronger, the basketball hit the rebound, and the offensive rebound was not grabbed, and North Carolina advanced again.

Lawson still passed the ball to Hansbrough. At 110kg, he squeezed away the defender, made a small throw, and hit the board.

At the critical moment, Hansbrough stood up, with a soft touch and excellent physical talent, completely blasting the inside of the Wildcats.

But the Wildcats' offense has not started for a long time. It was a physical exhaustion battle. At this time, Curry was exhausted and was targeted by the opponent for the entire game. The tactical effect of North Carolina was finally reflected at this moment.

Lin Yue's physical strength is good, but so is Danny Green. Without Curry's restraint, Lin Yue's shortcomings are exposed.

Under Danny Green's defense, Lin Yue's mid-range shot missed. When the fallback was no longer miraculous, neither was Davidson.

The point difference gradually widened, and time was running out.

Accompanied by the applause of the audience, McKillop replaced Curry, Lin Yue and others.

Even if they lose, they still gain the respect of everyone.

The whistle sounded, the game was over, and the two sides shook hands.

A loss for the Davidson Wildcats came quickly this season, but after a stop at North Carolina, they realized their inadequacy.

Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is being numb to failure. Emory University is a negative example.

But Davidson's eyes were not confused. North Carolina was too strong, but even with such a strong opponent, they still had a chance to win.

They have just started this season. If they want to go further, they must beat a strong team like North Carolina.

For Lin Yue, his NCAA journey will not be smooth sailing.

The future of the Davidson Wildcats depends on how far Lin Yue and Curry can grow.
