Super Heavy Artillery

Vol 2 Chapter 33: Second half

   Competitive sports, the biggest charm lies in its unpredictability.

  The match with North Carolina caused intense discussions from relevant people just before the game. They stood in their respective positions and expressed their views and conjectures on the situation of the game. This game, like the last game against Kansas, is also called a preview of "March Madness".

   But most of them don't think it is an opponent of North Carolina.

   After all, North Carolina still has a great advantage in the depth of the lineup. The first is North Carolina striker Bryce Johnson. Although this senior player does not have a very explosive talent, he has excellent mobility, excellent jumping and athletic talent, plus the technical level that has been honed in the university for three years. , Making him the core of this North Carolina team; the defensive end is also very strong, defensive enthusiasm is very high. And Alex, who was in opposition, seemed very immature. North Carolina's core point guard Marcus Page is a good three-point shooter, has the ability to shoot at critical moments, passes smoothly, is a good leader, knows when to shoot, and has a high steal rate. It's an enhanced version of Holiday. Several other starters are also very good. Kennedy Meeks, Joel Berry, and Justin Jackson are all elite players.

   Most of them are newcomers this year. The talent may not be bad, but it takes time to grow.

   Of course there is another reason. Although there has been improvement in recent years, it has not reached the top. This gives a lot of people an intuitive impression that it won’t work.

   What makes An Luo and others happy is that in addition to those fanatical people, many people are also very optimistic about them. The lineup that Alford has built now gives everyone hope, especially when their outside firepower is full, it is simply a sense of destruction.

   Of course, if it doesn’t open, that’s another matter.

   However, with An Luo, the lower limit is certainly not low.

   During the intermission, Alford carefully analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of his opponents. He always likes to let the players figure out the situation on the court by themselves, and then they can play their own rhythm better. In fact, the biggest problem now is that Holiday's connection with An Luo has been severed, and the efficiency of linkage with other players has dropped a lot.

   "Alex, I remember you can pass the ball too, you said that you used to play a back in high school."

   Just when everyone was thinking about strategy, An Luo suddenly said such a sentence.

   Alford reacted instantly. He stood up suddenly, stared at Alex and asked, "Is what Ann said true?"

"Uh, uh..." Feeling that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Alex said at a loss: "I wasn't that high, so I always played defenders." He hesitated and added One sentence: "However, I basically play in the second position, and very few in the first position."

   "Hmm..." Alford's brows became a ball of Zou, as if he was weighing it.

   "Steve, we can play as usual with North Carolina in the second half at best. We are still nearly ten points behind!"

   In the current basketball development trend, the role of the team’s organizer has shifted to other positions. Pat Riley’s modern basketball concept put forward the position-free team configuration has gradually begun to appear in the league, small ball play is popular in the league, and many teams have organized forwards and even organized centers. If these tall players have the ability to pass the ball, they will be more threatening than the smaller players.

  For example, Drummond Green of the NBA Golden State Warriors, Green averaged 3.7 assists per game last season. Some people questioned that Green is a Warriors system player, but in fact he does have excellent ball handling ability, so you can often see him dribbling the ball across the court like a point guard. In addition, he does have a strong passing ability. , So you can often see him ghostly hitting the ball in the high post, giving his teammates a very comfortable empty cut layup opportunity.

   Of course, Alex doesn't have that ability yet. In fact, Anlow's proposal only allowed Alex to attract North Carolina's defense for Holiday. Free the latter. After all, they couldn't lock down two people at the same time, and one of them was nearly seven feet tall.

   Alex was speechless in the end, it turned out to be a target. But he gladly accepted, this is a very important opportunity for him. If the effect is objective, he is happy to transform into an organized power forward. In modern basketball, especially the NBA, the traditional inside players are no longer popular, and teams are more and more like big men who have three points and can pass the ball. If you have both rebounding ability and defense at the same time, it is really promising.

   In the second half, neither team made any adjustments~www.ltnovel.com~ but the game started, people felt different.

  'S perimeter defense is not inferior, even if their defensive tactics are simple man-to-man defense, they still make the opposing guards suffer.

  Joel Berry, who is facing Anlow, is a player who loves physical confrontation, and of course he is very strong. The North Carolina backcourt composed of Joel, a sophomore, and Marcus Page, a senior, is very strong. But An Luo felt that he was not as strong as himself and Holiday. This person has average athletic ability and is difficult to attack near the basket. Most of the points are based on three-point shooting, but it is not stable. Under Anluo's defense, it is even more unstable.

   Of course, in Anluo's eyesight, there are very few players with stable three-pointers.

   As soon as this guy came up, he greeted An Luo with a super-long three-pointer. His confident look shocked An Luo.

   Not handsome but three seconds, the basketball wiped the net, and I made a happy shot outside the basket! Alex grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Holiday. The latter advanced quickly. The brain and the North Carolina defenders were no slower than him, and they doubled him in an instant.

   But this time he didn't panic, he protected the ball, and then hung it to Alex who was leaning over. The latter shook Bryce Johnson with a cross step after receiving the ball and drove into the paint.

   This action scared everyone! No one has ever seen a seven-foot-old man playing such a flowery job.

   But the opponent's defense was very fast. Kennedy Meeks directly gave up the **** Tony Parker, occupied the position in the basket ahead of time, and blocked Alex's offensive route. But Alex is now positioned as the organizer. He quickly picked up the defender skills he had thrown at his grandma's house, and put the ball in Tony's hands through the crotch. The **** guy was so happy, there was no one in front of him, he broke the button with one hand and scored two points.
