Chapter 38
Chapter 38 : Brooke’s shortcomings
After seeing Anjie score with a step-back jumper in front of Brook Lopez, many Stanford Crimson fans thought it was just Anjie’s luck. But An Jie’s series of performances made it impossible for these guys to single out the thorn.
On the offensive end, Anjie played singles with Brook Lopez again and again, with flexible footwork, back-turned jump shots, hooks, dunks after inside cuts…Angel showed his full offensive skills to the fullest. No matter how strong Brook Lopez is, it is impossible to guard against all the scoring methods of Anjie.
On the defensive end, Anjie also used a block of shame. That ball Brook Lopez thought he had shook An Jie away with his footsteps. Unexpectedly, An Jie flew out the basketball fan in Brook’s hand from behind.
The last three minutes of the first half of the game is the game that fans want to see today. The wonderful matchup between two powerful centers, even if it was postponed for so long, but the enthusiasm of the fans has not diminished in the slightest.
It wasn’t until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half that the fans broke away from the extreme enthusiasm. Under Anjie’s excellent performance, the Tornado team actually recovered a tenth of a point difference and evened the score.
All the fans found that everyone around them was sweating profusely and their voices were hoarse. Anjie came from behind and did not disappoint the fans or the opponent Brook Lopez. They deserve to have the cheers of all the fans present, and the duel between two powerful centers, fans have not seen such a scene for many years. In the NBA, there is the “Yao Shark War”, and in the NCAA, the confrontation between Anjie and Lopez undoubtedly represents the war between the highest level center forwards.
Looking at An Jie, who had recovered from his decline and rebounded strongly in the last few minutes, Divac finally took a long breath. It seems that the kid’s hard work over the past few months has indeed not been in vain.
During the intermission, wonderful images of the confrontation between the two big centers were continuously shown on the big screen. The most direct confrontation, the most gorgeous technique. The whole collection looks like what Anjie said, the purest art is also pure violence.
“Brook, is your physical fitness still normal?” In the locker room of Stanford University, Larry Miles asked about his star player. His abnormal performance in the last three minutes made Miles very worried.
“The coach has no problem with physical strength, now you believe in the strength of that Chinese boy.” Brook Lopez wiped the sweat from his head, and playing a confident Anjie in the second half is bound to cause him more trouble.
“Offensive Brook, I want you to focus more on the offense. If you continue to smash with that guy named An Jie in the second half, your physical strength will be consumed very quickly. Robin, you will come for your brother in the second half. Look at that Asian.” Miles still trusts Robin, the shot-blocking king. If Brook Lopez is the spear of Stanford University, then Robin Lopez is the strong backing of Stanford University.
“Leave it to me, boss, brother, you just have to concentrate on attacking.”
On the other side, Ricard made corresponding adjustments after a half-time observation.
“You did a good job in the first half, but we need to do more if we want to gnaw off this hard bone! Double-teaming! I want you to double-team defense against Brook Lopez!” Ricard was in the video and A problem was discovered in the actual combat just now, that is, Brooke can’t pass the ball as skillfully as An Jie when facing double-teams.
“On offense, I need to see the efforts of others! Brook Lopez is a tall and slow low-post center. At the beginning of the game, Mike Taylor’s continuous scoring has proved his slow action. Maybe one-on-one defense. Anjie is very strong, but Brook may not be better than his brother Robin in overall defense. Give me Tubrook this point and make him tired!” Ricard said in a sigh of relief. It’s all finished, as for how much it can accomplish, it depends on the group of lads below.
The second half of the game kicked off with the eager cheers of the fans. The fans once again fell into extreme madness and spared no effort to cheer for their team.
“The Iowa State University Tornadoes really have the momentum to prepare for a black end. Before the game, who would have thought that the Tornadoes, which had not been able to land in the March Madness Championship for 22 years, could now tie with the giants Stanford University after halftime. Coach Larry Miles must have thought he got a good lottery when he first got the list, but now he definitely won’t think so.” As soon as the ESPN commentator finished speaking, the shot was given to Larry Mai. A close-up of his face. The gray-haired coach is now frowning, observing the movement on the court intently.
Robin Lopez did not spare any effort to defend An Jie according to the coach’s arrangement. An Jie was disturbed so that he could not even be in position. But it doesn’t matter, the offensive focus on the court now is not him.
Mike Taylor has the ball, and this time the person who came up to give him the pick and roll became Asakin. This is a seemingly ordinary tactical coordination, but many people are surprised when they look at it.
The high-position pick-and-rolls of the Tornado team have always been handled by An Jie. The facts have also proved that the pick-and-roll cooperation between An Jie and Mike Taylor is very efficient. However, now, people rarely see the slow white big man mentioning a high position to pick and roll. Isn’t An Jie already entangled by Robin Lopez to the point where he can’t even do a pick and roll?
Brook Lopez was a little embarrassed, he didn’t know whether he wanted to follow Asakin to the high position. Although Asakin’s mid-range shooting is not as accurate as Anjie’s, it is not to say that there is no threat at all.
“Now the score is stalemate, and the opponent can’t get any chance to score easily!” Brook Lopez thought, and followed Assagin out of the three-second zone.
Mike Taylor saw Brook Lopez come out and couldn’t help but cocked the corners of his mouth. Robin, another center, is clamoring with An Jie, and he has no thoughts to care about things here. This attack can be said to have been half completed.
Cruze immediately pulled his opponent beyond the three-point line when he saw this, while Anthony Ben kept running interspersed to attract the attention of the defender. Before not knowing it, the Tornado team had completely pulled out the offensive space to Mike Taylor. All the foreshadowing has been completed, and now it’s up to Mike Taylor to end the offense.
Asakin picks and rolls, Mike Taylor starts immediately, these are exactly the same as before. Assakin was originally larger than Angel, so although the timing of this pick-and-roll was a little worse, he still successfully blocked Mike Taylor’s matchup.
Brook Lopez saw that his point guard lost his defensive position, he immediately moved across and prepared to switch to Mike Taylor. But as Ricard said, Brook Lopez seems too slow when facing guards like Mike Taylor. Taylor used speed to force overtaking, breaking through before Brooke got in the offensive line.
Robin found that the opposing player was approaching the basket, so he wanted to shake off Anjie’s entangled arms with him, and then made a defense to the basket. But how could Anjie let Robin get rid of himself so easily? He secretly pulled Robin’s jersey, slowing him down as much as possible.
“Mike Taylor broke through the penalty area unimpeded all the way! He is ready to layup! It’s Robin! Stanford’s block king Robin takes off with all his strength to stop this attack!” ESPN’s commentator is passionate, but next to them Ai The commentators of Channel 3 in Mus City were obviously calmer.
“It’s nothing to make up for Robin’s defense. Mike Taylor won’t waste the opportunity this guy created for him.” Paul Philips certainly said the result before Taylor’s ball was shot. .
Sure enough, as Philips said, Robin, who was delayed by An Jie, almost covered the ball, but the result was almost the same as that of a lot of it. Anyway, he couldn’t cover it. Mike Taylor’s layup undoubtedly fell into the net. Although on the surface it seems that this is a personal single of Mike Taylor, the ball is indeed the result of the teamwork of the Tornado team.
Brook Lopez can defend the center, but it does not mean that he can defend the impact of perimeter players. Most perimeter players can clean Brook Lopez with just one step, and Mike Taylor is no exception.
If Brook Lopez and Angel are still facing each other, then other players may face Robin’s defense more pressure. Although Robin suffered a lot in one-on-one defense against Anjie, he still has some experience in dealing with outside players who dared to break into the penalty area. But because of the deployment of coach Larry Myers, the situation is now just the other way round. Robin’s hard work may make Anjie very uncomfortable, but Brooke has nothing to do with the impact of perimeter players.
But Miles knows that the real value of Brook Lopez is on the offensive end, and defense has never been something Brook Lopez depends on.
Brooke received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area, and the defender who appeared in front of him became the lanky Chinese again.
Brook has always been confident on the offensive end, and he had the upper hand when he faced the Chinese in the first half of the scene. However, this time he found that the defending person was not only Ann behind him, and Cruz also ran into the penalty area to surround him. Double teamwork!
“Double-teaming with Brooke? What do you plan to do with Markle?” Larry Miles still trusts his shooting guard’s shooting ability. Double-teaming can’t solve your defensive problems at all!
But the experienced Miles overlooked a very crucial thing, that is, first of all, Brook Lopez has to be able to pass the ball to Bruce Markle in a double double team. Otherwise, no matter how big Markle’s vacancy is, it won’t help.
Facing the entanglement between Anjie and Cruz, Brook can only draw a circle in the air with the ball, avoiding the arm that stretched toward the basketball. Brooke’s vision was greatly disturbed, and he was not calm enough to face double-teaming.
Brooke finally managed to throw the ball out but the pass was really bad. Anthony Ben saw the time and kicked out and confiscated the basketball midway through the pass.
A one-stop attack after a midway interception, this is the sporting ability of Anthony Ben. He is a defensive perimeter player, so he doesn’t perform much offensively, so Anthony would not waste any opportunity to put himself in the spotlight.
The explosive power of this moment was beyond everyone’s reach. He ran to the opponent’s half in a few steps, and distanced himself from the Stanford University defensive players.
After a big step in from the free throw line, Anthony Ben jumped into the air. He raised the basketball with his right hand high above his head, and dunked it against the hoop that was getting closer and closer to him.
“Tomahawk slashing! Anthony Ben! Excitingly wonderful!”
After seeing Anthony Ben finished dunking, Ricard waved his fist in satisfaction, defending one attack at a time, Ricard had already seen that his tactics were successful.
Brook Lopez is amazing, but he is still just a college player after all. There are still many areas for him to improve and improve. But Ricard can’t wait for you to meet Brook after you train. Ricard will use whatever shortcomings you have. He is not a picky eater.
