The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 45 I Believe in You (Please recommend, please collect)
After the timeout ended, Lin Yue continued to fight on the court, while Curry took a short rest off the court to relieve himself. Will was replaced on the court to replace Lin Yue, Lin Yue switched to play point guard, and Richards went to point guard.

McKillop's most daring thing is the on-the-spot change. Although the Davidson Wildcats are not as good as the Duke Blue Devils in terms of team tactics, he dares to use people, and his trust in players is the catalyst for the team's progress.

Beads of sweat dripped down the faces of everyone at Davidson College. They tried their best to stabilize the score advantage before Curry came on the court. During the short 5 minutes of playing and stopping, the referee's whistle scale was also subtly changing, and there were more whistles.

In just 5 minutes, Lin Yue had committed three fouls. With timeouts and free throws, everyone in Davidson believed that as long as Curry came back, they would win the game.

Lin Yue took advantage of the opponent's free throw and summoned the teammates around him to speak, "Come on, wait for another 2 minutes until Curry returns, this victory will be ours after all."

"Good!" Everyone said in unison, the desire for victory diluted the exhaustion of the body.

With 8 consecutive victories on one side and 3 consecutive victories on the other, neither side will give up easily in this game.

Henderson couldn't help but miss the second free throw under exhaustion, and the muscle memory of free throws was useless at this moment.

In the next 2 minutes, both sides scored a goal. Lin Yue was lucky to make a mid-range shot to keep the team's lead. At the decisive moment, McKillop replaced Curry with Richards, who was almost exhausted.

Lacking an organizational point guard, Lin Yue changed from the team's "center" to "brain". He had a face-to-face dialogue with Paulos, and Lin Yue came to be the team's point guard at the decisive moment. This is a new attempt.

But the experience he learned in the bench lineup allowed him to deal with the old point guard like Paulus, not to mention that Lin Yue was still a misplaced player to play him.

After Curry rested, his state improved. The large-scale transfer made Nelson a bit unable to keep up. Double-teaming Curry but not letting Lin Yue empty, this is a problem.

Nelson's speed has dropped. Curry faced his defense and crossed directly. A Beverly tricked his center of gravity and passed him.

It is estimated that Curry is the only one who can still be so elegant in the audience.

Although Nelson failed to defend against Curry's offense, at least he didn't allow Curry to hit a three-pointer, and that was enough. A point at a critical moment is fatal.

Since the defense can't do its best, then he can use his physical strength to attack. Paulos' vision of passing the ball under the cover of Lin Yue's hands was disturbed, but he still successfully passed the ball to Sayer, who was slightly open.

At this time, the young man who had been targeted by Lin Yue for the entire game could finally calm down for a while. Without Lin Yue scoring on him, his mentality improved.

"I can't let the team lose in my hands." Shayer was quite excited in his heart. After being left out for the whole game, he finally had a chance to express himself.

Will's defense is indeed very good, but Sayer simply ignores the defense and takes shots. Even if Lin Yue is defending him at this moment, he will not fluctuate.

Sayer shot very resolutely, and the result did not disappoint him. The basketball went through a beautiful arc and got into the net.

The audience was in a state of ebullition. The ball gave them the hope of winning. Shayer also flew up happily. He obviously had a chance to enter the NBA, but why did he play like a waste today? He doubted his life for a while.

Davidson's current advantage is only two points. If the next goal is not enough, they may be overtaken at any time. Success or failure depends on one action. The critical moment is the star level.

Everyone at Duke focused on Curry. At this time, Curry, who scored 27 points in the game, became a thorn in their side, and Lin Yue, who had 10 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds, was a support to them.

At most, it can be regarded as a king's support. After all, a support is a support. Can you kill the ADC solo?
I'm sorry, but Lin Yue didn't score much in the second half, so everyone at Duke forgot about Lin Yue's dunk in the first half.

The more critical the time, the more short-sighted people are. When the Duke generals focused on Curry, Lin Yue received a pass from Curry in the bottom corner, and there was no defender in front of him.

"He didn't have a three-pointer." Paulos remembered that Lin Yue had never shot a three-pointer.

He needs to rush over to make up the defense before he makes a shot. As long as Lin Yue doesn't shoot a three-pointer, he can definitely make it.

Lin Yue took the ball and swallowed, but he didn't have time to hesitate. This was an excellent shooting opportunity, but he was really not sure that he could hit a three-pointer. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that Curry had raised his hands in celebration, and looked at Paulos who was running towards him.

Time seemed to have slowed down. He took a look, stabilized his mind and threw the ball. There was only one minute before the end of the game. If the ball was hit, it would completely kill the game.

The audience held their breath, the coaches of both sides stared wide-eyed, the air seemed to freeze, as if it was so quiet that a needle could be heard, Curry was still posing in celebration, he believed that Lin Yue could make the shot.

Lin Yue squatted halfway, with only the basketball in his eyes. This arc is fine, but if there is a slight deviation in the bottom corner, the ball will bounce out of the frame.

"Kang Dang" all over, some happy and some sad, the two sides that Curry raised were slowly put down.

Lin Yue, who was returning to defense, apologized to Curry with apology. Curry trusted him a lot, but he failed to respond. If the goal is scored, they can almost seal the victory of the game.

Duke protected the rebound, and Paulus took the ball and advanced the frontcourt.

At this time, both sides still have an offensive round, and now there are many choices. If Duke University steals a goal, they will also get an offensive opportunity.

Of course, they could have stabilized the attack, had better chances to score, and left Davidson with 20 seconds left.

Now that the option goes to Duke, they still have a chance to win, and they are only two points behind.

The old coach K called a timeout to arrange tactics. No matter what option they choose, they need to successfully defend Davidson to have a chance of winning.

At the same time, McKillop is also deploying offense. Even if they can't defend, they can use offense to win the game. Of course, it is best to defend.

"Stephen, if there is a chance, I will give you the shot." This is McKillop's trust in him, and it is hard for you not to pay attention to such a player.

"No, they will definitely defend me. In this case, there is a high probability that they will not make the shot." Curry seemed very rational at the moment. The more critical the moment, the more the role of the leader can be reflected.

"Then who do you think it is suitable for?"

"Lin Yue."

Curry's decisive tone surprised Lin Yue.

"I think it's more appropriate for you to vote, and everyone wants you to vote."

Everyone nodded and felt that what Lin Yue said made sense. Curry was the best shooter in their hearts.

"Lin, I believe in you." Curry looked at Lin Yue with affirmation in his eyes.

"But I just missed one."

"It's okay, I trust you."

McKillop interrupted, "Defend the ball first, as long as you defend it, you don't need to discuss who to shoot for."

Everyone did not say much to express their agreement.

"Duke, Duke, Duke..." At this time, cheers sounded in the arena. They expected the team to create a miracle and successfully come back. In their hearts, the Duke Blue Devils were omnipotent.
