NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 24 Attacking the Battle
Faced with the passive situation where Duke scored 6 points in a row, Quelin remained calm and composed, and it was not too late when he realized his mistake. After comforting himself, he stepped forward to signal Watford to return to its original position, and chose to trust Cody Zeller's defensive wisdom.

However, besides praying that Cody can transform into a Super Saiyan to restrain Chen Xiao, the Indiana University Mountain Rangers still have other things to rely on.

This season, the Mountainers' three-point shooting percentage is as high as 43.1%, ranking second among more than 300 NCAAD1-level teams; the overall shooting percentage is as high as 49.2%, ranking fifth.

Indiana with Cody-Oladipo inside and outside is equivalent to having two engines. As long as one engine starts smoothly, it can bring variables to the subsequent results.If the two were activated at the same time, according to the words of the Mountainers fans, it would be devastating.

……

"Bang!" Mike Breen's signature commentary sounded.

At this time the score on the court was 11:12, with the Blue Devils in front and the Mountaineers behind.

After trailing by 6 points in the start, the mountain people responded to their opponents with a 12:5.

The round that just passed was a concrete presentation of the small climax of the mountain people's counterattack.

Watford, who was not yet convinced, made a direct three-pointer against Seth Curry, who was on defense, after a three-point cover tactic.

The basketball hit the net, allowing Indiana University to overtake by 1 point.

Watford spit out the pent-up air of being at a loss on the defensive end at the beginning of the game. Excited, he made his right hand parallel to the palm and made a "Too Small" movement.

"Yes!" Quilin stood up and clenched his fists, which also murdered many Filin.

Chen Xiao silently picked up the basketball on the ground and prepared to serve from the baseline. Watford's frantic movements and the face of the opponent's coach flushed with excitement were clearly visible.

"Pick and roll, you make a three-pointer." After serving the ball, Chen Xiao strode forward, running past Seth Curry who was holding the ball.

Seth glanced at Chen Xiao and continued to dribble the ball to the frontcourt.

After Chen Xiao pretended to take the position, he quickly lifted it up and moved to the right side of Curry's defender. His feet were level with his shoulders, his hands covered his crotch, and he remained motionless.

Seth tacitly dribbled the ball to the top of the arc on the left when Chen Xiao just stood on time. At this time, the two nearest defenders, Cody Zeller, couldn't keep up with Chen Xiao's rhythm and couldn't catch up with him.

After confirming that he was in a wide open space, Seth took a deep breath, aimed at the basket, and shot a three-pointer.

"Bang! Beautiful response to the ball, beautiful pick-and-roll, if the defender is Watford, it will be perfect." Brin still felt dissatisfied after admiring it. As a commentator, he certainly hoped that the program would be as effective as possible.

……

At the end of the half, the two sides used their advantages to play efficient offenses, and the total score in the half was nearly [-].

Duke has a narrow 50-47 lead over Indiana.

Viewers who turn on the TV at halftime may be surprised that the total score of an NCAA game is nearly 6 in the halftime. You must know that the full-time score of NCAA teams is generally around 70 or [-].

But fans who have watched the first half will only think how it is close to 100? In the first half, Duke mainly relied on Chen Xiao's stable inside scoring and Seth Curry's open three-pointers after being humiliated.

Such an accurate Seth Curry made Chen Xiao stunned. The two Currys seemed to overlap at this moment. Don't mistake Seth for Curry. This stalk became a reality before Chen Xiao's eyes.

……

The Duke Blue Devils locker room.

Faced with such a close score, Old K did not dare to be careless, everything could happen in a crazy March to decide the outcome.

Old K is replaying the first half with his assistants. Duke scored 50 offensive points, which is beyond reproach. The players have tried their best. Can you expect Seth Curry to be Stephen Curry (Daily Edition) often?

But giving up 47 points on the defensive end is unacceptable.

印第安纳的半场得分王沃特福德在命中第一个三分后，后续三分手感并不好，半场三分4中1。但三分线内7中5的表现让他半场砍下13分。

He was in a hurry on the defensive end, but he actually had a beautiful three-threat footwork on the offensive end.Watford, who is not outstanding in speed and explosive power, relied on rhythm and footwork to hit the Plumlee brothers consecutively in the first half.

However, the 28 points, which only accounted for 13% of the total score in the half, obviously could not support the offense of the entire Mountain Rangers. Outside of Watford, Oladipo, who was originally weak in offense and strong in defense in the old K's impression, performed brilliantly.

Relying on his outstanding explosive power, Oladipo continued to force Duke's three guards from the outside. After breaking into the inside, Oladipo, who passed the ball well, would find the right time to pass the ball to Cody Zeller if he saw Chen Xiao choose to defend.

Assistant coach Nate suggested, "Maybe we can arrange Chen Xiao to defend Watford like Harrison Barnes?"

"No, Watford who scored the most points is not the key. Let him play. We will win the game after his hand cools down. The focus is on our perimeter defense. Seth, Austin, Andre." Old K shook his head while reporting his name.

"Oladipo, who was weak in attack and strong in defense, actually reversed when facing us. He couldn't limit our guards but he could blow up my guards. God, it's ridiculous." Chris spoke from the side, holding his head exaggeratedly.

The Duke coaching staff, who did not come up with a solution within a short period of time after brainstorming, decided to focus on me and continue to implement the original strategy, believing that the more powerful Blue Devils can win.

……

After a half-time observation, Chen Xiao internalized the intelligence analysis on paper into his own perception and judgment.

Chen Xiao's perception and judgment of Cody Zeller are as follows:

The hairline is a bit dangerous (crossed out);
A height of 213 cm should have moisture but not much, and there is no problem if it is above 2 meters 10;

The arm span is short visible to the naked eye, and may not even exceed the height;

The shoulders are narrow and the neck is long, and the standing height is not good enough;

Able to run and jump well, the running ability does not seem to be significantly different from my own, and the bounce is outstanding. The maximum bounce in the intelligence is close to 1 meter, which is not groundless;
The running speed is good, but the instantaneous acceleration ability is insufficient, and the explosive power is insufficient;
The strength and confrontation ability are at the middle level among the insiders I have encountered, which is similar to that of Maple;

It is not easy to eat, although the famous scene was dedicated in the first half, but except for special circumstances, the performance at other times is very stable.

After going through the characteristics of Cody Zeller that he summarized in his mind, Chen Xiao felt that no one knew Cody Zeller better than me.

Considering Cody's characteristics, Chen Xiao decided to show him something good in the second half.

　Hurry up, hurry up, get Chapter 2 out
