The Way of the Center

Chapter 39 : Chaos

“I think Coach George Ricard has found a way to deal with Brook Lopez. In just two minutes, Brook didn’t get a point. Instead, the Tornadoes took advantage of the opportunity to counterattack and cut it in one go. Six points, the giants Stanford University is now six points behind the Tornadoes. It’s incredible!”

The commentator couldn’t believe his eyes, and the fans at Stanford University responded in the same way. In previous games, as long as Brook Lopez was on the court, the Stanford Crimson team’s scoring pace would not stop. But now, the Tornadoes actually kept Brooke without a point for two minutes. This is something that even UCLA’s Kevin Love can’t do.

Kevin Love has defended Brook Lopez one-on-one throughout the game, so of course he can’t restrain this guy. However, the Tornado team used adventurous double-teaming to defend it, and the integrity is not only reflected on the offensive end.

However, Brook Lopez has always been the most dazzling star center in the season when the guards are grouped together. An Jie can get rid of the trouble of double double teaming when facing the University of Kansas, so Brooke can do the same now.

After 　　 changed to holding the ball in the high post, Brook Lopez was still tightly double-doubled by the Tornadoes. But outside, it’s much easier to pass the ball.

Brook Lopez is still very reluctant to pass the ball in the face of a double-team, but at least he will not make a mistake when passing the ball to the outside in the high post. After getting the ball in the open position, Markle also showed his superb shooting ability, a three-pointer to chase the Whirlwind team’s six-point advantage by only three points.

If the Tornado team continues to double-team, Brook will still hold the ball in the high post. And after a few rounds, Robin also saw that his brother needs to respond. If Brooke passes to him, Robin will still be able to score points against Asakin’s defense. It can be said that Miles did not call a timeout, and the Lopez brothers solved the double-teaming problem by themselves. Brook Lopez has completed the creation of three novels during his college years. From this side that has nothing to do with basketball, you can also see how flexible this big man’s head is.

Sure enough, this kind of trick that came up for a while can’t beat this awe-inspiring big guy. If you want to pass the Stanford University level, you have to rely on hard power to break through.

When Brooke confronted An Jie again, the Cyclone team didn’t dare to double-team again. Brook Lopez and Anjie went one-on-one, and went around the game and returned to these two centers.

Brook broke his two-minute scoring drought with a simple back-turn jumper. An Jie has already tried his best to defend. He thought that his palm had completely blocked Brooke’s sight, but Brooke was able to shoot the ball.

On the offensive end, An Jie, as long as he gets rid of Robin, he will find that Brook can always make up to the basket in time. If the two brothers had different hair styles, An Jie might have thought that Lopez would be a clone, because he could always see these two identical faces no matter if he broke through or retreated.

And after being deceived a few times, the slow Brook did not follow when Assakin gave Mike Taylor a pick-and-roll. In this way, Mike Taylor could not bypass Brooke’s defense. He tried to pass the ball to Asakin, who was unmarked in the high post, but Asakin did not disappoint Brooke. He made zero of three shots. This is today. Asakin’s field goal percentage.

Both sides are on the court, you come and I meet each other. The Stanford Crimson team not only evened the score, but also surpassed it by five points. Coach Ricard had to call the first timeout since the beginning of the second half. His arrangement was indeed successful, but Brook Lopez was more adaptable than he thought.

Wu Hua stared at the eyes in the field and didn’t even want to blink. This game was really exciting and did not live up to the pre-game hype of the media. At this moment, he has long forgotten that he is a reporter. He is now enjoying the purest happiness that basketball brings him as a fan. As for taking pictures for Anjie, he has long been thrown out of the sky.

NBA scouts also gained a lot in this game. The players who occupy the top few picks this season are all outside, but the appearance of these two big men may break this pattern.

“If you have the ability to persuade An Jie to participate in the draft, make arrangements quickly, because you don’t want to miss such an excellent player.” This is a sentence a scout said when reporting to his manager.

Anjie and Brook Lopez, they have not been able to beat anyone on the court so far. Although it seems that Brook has the upper hand, the audience has not seen Anjie’s counterattack ability in the first half.

The entanglement between Anjie and Brook continued after re-entering the field, and this gorgeous showdown between the centers is far from over.

With the constant transition of offense and defense between the two, the cheers of the fans of the two teams have never stopped. In this era when perimeter players are in power, it is really a different kind of enjoyment to appreciate such a peak showdown between centers.

Brook scored a hook here, and Anjie made a jumper after shaking his shoulder in the other half. The volatilization of skills and steps, the collision of muscles and muscles. The others seemed to have become foils, and the two big centers continued their performances to their heart’s content.

What can the coaches of the two teams do? The strongest offensive firepower of both teams is center, and both of these centers are very smart. The use of various tactics can no longer limit these two guys, and now they can only solve the problem by themselves.

There are eight minutes left in the game, and Stanford University leads by eight points.

There are seven minutes left in the game, and the Tornado team narrowed the point difference to only two points.

There are six minutes left in the game, and the Tornado has a lead.

There were five minutes left in the game, and Angel and Brook Lopez were both replaced by the coach.

It’s time for these two guys to rest. It is impossible to open the score in a short time. Now they can only restore their strength as much as possible, and then send these two big men to the final moments to make a showdown. .

There are three minutes left in the game, and Stanford once again turned the point difference. Now they have a 7-point lead and entered the final timeout before the final match.

“I believe you will not be content to stop at the top of 64! We are not here to participate in the March Madness Championships, we want to popularize! We want to win! In the last three minutes, we win and continue, we lose and go home! Who of you wants to go back as a loser!?” Ricard looked around his players for a week.

“We won’t go back! We want to popularize!” The players yelled.

Unlike Ricard’s psychological adjustment, the Stanford University coach Miles still talked about tactics calmly before the final battle.

“Brook, you go back to defend the Chinese, Robin, you go back to the power forward position, so that their outside line will not rush to break through. They won’t have much to do. The Chinese is our biggest threat. But I Believe in you Brook, you will definitely be able to defeat your opponent and take us to the next round.” Miles looked firmly at his proud disciple.

“We are here to win the championship with UCLA. If we lose to the Cyclones, we must not make Westbrook and Kevin Love laugh out loud?” Brooke still remembers the picture of losing the league’s regular season championship by three points. Chu, he doesn’t want to repeat the old mistakes in the March Madness.

collision! Brook Lopez hit the back, he forced An Jie into the three-second zone, and then once again used a hook to complete the offense.

Technique! Anjie used his flexible footsteps to make Brook Lopez’s center of gravity vacillate, and finally after several consecutive fake moves to trick Lopez into jumping, Anjie easily scored with a low hand.

Art! Mike Taylor’s breakthrough made Stanford University’s position all shrink to the basket. After he jumped up, he passed the ball beautifully to the unmarked Anthony Ben. Anthony Ben headed into the inside, the entire Stanford University defense. It’s all messed up. I don’t know when, Cruz suddenly received a basketball flying out of the penalty area, and then shot from the three-point line. Anthony Ben’s second greatest weapon is the magical biography!

Violence! Robin Lopez turned around easily and passed Asakin, his heavy dunk felt that the basket was about to be pulled down by him. This is not over yet, Robin also pushed Asakin after the dunk to provoke him.

One minute passed, and the Tornado team only narrowed the point difference by one point. As long as you insist for two more minutes, Stanford University can swagger to the next round of popularization. But the Tornado team did not give up this word in their dictionary. They were determined to fight Stanford University to the end.

After borrowing An Jie’s pick and roll, Mike Taylor once again broke through Brook, who had switched defenses. An Jie mentioned that Brooke couldn’t just sit back and watch when he was in a high position. Robin immediately made up to the basket. In his opinion, Mike Taylor was here to give himself shots.

However, one person on the offensive Tornado team is always ignored.

Taylor pretended to layup and jumped and pulled the ball down, then in the air he wrapped his arm around Robin Lopez’s back and passed the ball. The person who received the ball was Asakin, a center who averaged no more than 3.6 points per game.

After Robin was tricked into jumping, Asakin faced an empty basket. He jumped up and prepared to attack the frame, and Robin had already completed his second jump after landing. To be honest, Robin’s projectile speed and jumping height are completely unmatched by Asakin. If you still want to dunk, you will definitely be blocked. Asakin turns his wrist and turns the dunk into a layup. The basketball hit the white frame on the backboard and then refracted into the net.

“Four points! In the most critical moment, Asakin stepped forward!” Although the sports commentary should be neutral, but Paul Philips has expressed his love for his hometown team. Anyway, his and Bill’s commentary is only broadcast locally in Ames, so they don’t have to worry about whether their partiality in the commentary will bring bad consequences.

After scoring, Asakin forced Robin Lopez to force a layup on the defensive end. Robin yelled to the referee to indicate that Asakin had committed a foul, but the referee did not respond, but walked away from Robin silently. It is a ball that can be blown or not, but Asakin has always played very clean and constrained, so the referee subconsciously felt that Asakin would definitely not foul.

Robin didn’t return to defense in time because of the argument with the referee. This is a good opportunity for Mike Taylor to break into the penalty area. Without the deterrence of the block king, Taylor completed his throw for the second time, and the sight remained unchanged.

is still two points away!

Stanford University gave the ball to Brook Lopez to be on the safe side. After he settled in the low post, the Tornadoes actually resorted to double-teaming once again!

Robin wanted to run out of position to meet his brother, but Asakin did not give him a chance to connect the ball like a brown sugar.

And Anjie didn’t give Brooke a chance to pass the ball. He saw the timing and slapped the basketball in Brooke’s hands. Cruz, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, fell to the ground and held the ball firmly into his arms.

Before the players at Stanford University grabbed it, Cruze lay on the ground and threw the ball out. McTaylor picked up the basketball with Foster Foster suddenly became unstable in the confrontation with Taylor, and fell down. The scene looked very chaotic.

Although the scene is chaotic, Mike Taylor, who is already in his third year, has a clear mind. He quickly moved forward after picking up the ball. Anthony Ben is also on the right offensive line on the other side. The Tornadoes are now playing two and one in the frontcourt. !

“Will it be an air relay!?” ESPN’s commentator recognized Anthony Ben’s excellent bounce today, and they expected Anthony Instinct to deduct one more.

Markle knew that Mike Taylor was a pass-first point guard, so he unconsciously moved a few steps toward Ben. He felt that Taylor would definitely pass the ball.

stepped on the free throw line and Mike Taylor raised the ball with both hands in Ben’s direction. Markle jumped up immediately, he had to intercept this pass.

But this is not the first time Mike Taylor used his fake moves and realistic eyes to deceive people. Is it passing or shooting? Except for Mike Taylor himself, no one can guess what he is going to do next.

This is a beautiful European layup. It’s just the first step. Mike Taylor’s action is really like a pass. With Taylor’s layup, the Tornado tied the score in the last minute.

Coach Larry Miles immediately called a timeout, and the situation was out of his control.

At the last minute, the dark horse was still biting the giants. In the next minute, just one mistake may ruin the previous 39 minutes of effort. Whether they are rich or grassroots, at this moment they are only one step away from death, and only a few minutes away from victory Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at www .
