I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 35 Easily Advance to the Top 32

Sun Yi thought that this knockout match would make him sweat and feel the difference of "Crazy Three".

But the game process was completely different from what he thought.

Montana State University did not go on the Jedi counterattack, the classic drama of counterattack and overtake.

After returning from the timeout, they still couldn't open up the situation on both ends of the offense and defense.

Although they used double-teams to limit Curry's crazy scoring, the Wildcats still played smoothly through passing and cutting.

In the pass-and-cut tactics, Sun Yi and Da Baibian were the direct beneficiaries, frantically attacking the penalty area of ​​Montana State University and bombing their basket.

Seeing that the point difference is getting bigger and bigger, and it is the first time to play such a large-scale game, it is very unsuitable to play in this environment, which caused some Montana State University players to lose their mentality. The Wildcats seized the opportunity to fight back successfully.

The head coach of Montana State University could only be forced to request a timeout again to allow the players to adjust their mentality.

After returning from a timeout, the Montana State players cut back on their passes and played individual plays.

But under the tight defense of the Wildcats, the shooting rate can be imagined, and the shots are frequently hit.

The Wildcats seized the opportunity and frequently succeeded in defensive counterattacks.

Alley-oop dunks, body-chasing three-pointers, pull-bar layups, etc. were frequently staged.

"Hey! Montana State University's players are still too young. They lack experience in major competitions and their mental quality is not strong. The game collapsed before the first half." Another guest commentator, Mav Albert, sighed. .

"After all, this is the first time they have entered March Madness, so they can't force it too much, just treat it as a one-day trip to March Madness." Miller joked.

After the first half of the game, the outcome of the game lost its suspense.

The score was 52-24 on the big screen, with the Wildcats leading Montana State by 28 going into the second half.

Montana State University played a little aggressively in the opening few rounds, and then was pressed to the ground by the Wildcats and rubbed hard.

Sun Yi, on the other hand, had five steals in the first half, wreaking havoc on Montana State.

The on-site commentator Miller couldn't help but sighed: "This little guy dominated the game with his strong defense!"

The short 15-minute intermission ended and the game continued in the second half.

After the adjustment during the intermission, Montana State University's players have adjusted their mentality and their morale has slowly recovered, intending to cause some trouble for the Wildcats in the second half.

After all, this is the stage of March Madness, and there is only one chance to stand here once a year.

They won the league championship with great difficulty, and entered March Madness for the first time. How could they not work hard? !

On the defensive end, the defensive strength has been improved, physical confrontation has been given, and every rebound has been grabbed.

On the offensive end, patiently look for scoring opportunities and reduce passing errors.

But the fact is so cruel, competitive sports, food is the original sin!

After the first half of the game, Curry felt hot and frequently hit three-pointers from the outside.

Moreover, Sun Yi and Da Baibian continued to attack the penalty area of ​​Montana State University, grabbing offensive rebounds.

This makes sharpshooters like Curry feel more at ease when shooting from the outside.

Other Wildcat players were able to hit shots when they were open, without wasting any opportunities.

With such a fully blooming Wildcats team, Montana State University players have nothing to do.

It's not that they didn't work hard enough, it's just that the strength gap is too big.

Not long into the second half, Montana State University gave up resistance and surrendered.

In the end, the Wildcats defeated Montana State University 94 to 58 and successfully advanced to the top 32.

This knockout game allowed the outside world to see how powerful the Wildcats are. Being able to become the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference is not a wasted reputation.

At the same time, more scouts and agents began to pay attention to the Wildcats trio, optimistic about their potential.

Not long after the game ended, the best player of the game was displayed on the big screen.

库里有惊无险获得了这一殊荣，在上场的28分钟内，三分球10投7中，拿到32分3篮板8助攻2抢断的全面数据。

Sun Yi, who was almost selected as the best player, also performed very well, and his debut in March Madness was perfect.

在上场的28分钟内，拿下了20分8篮板5助攻7抢断3盖帽的全面数据。

Whiteside's performance was also very eye-catching, scoring a double-double of 16 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks.

After the game, Curry and Sun Yi naturally became the targets of media reporters rushing to interview.

"Stephen, congratulations on advancing to the top 32. Last year you led the Wildcats to the top eight by yourself. This year you have two helpers, Sun and Hassan. Can you go further?" the reporter asked.

"The strength of the Wildcats has been improved, and the strength of other teams can also be improved, and the madness is full of unknowns. Every game is a final. I can't guarantee that I can lead the team to win, but I will go all out to play every game Game." Curry replied clearly.

"During the game, I saw you shooting three-pointers in the counterattack many times. Why didn't you rush to the basket and hit two-pointers with a higher success rate? Is this a tactic arranged by the coach?" The reporter asked a tricky question .

"Coach Bob is an open-minded head coach who is willing to try novel tactics."

"As for why I like to shoot chasing three-pointers, because in my opinion, in the counterattack, the opponent will definitely retreat to the basket to protect, and there will be open opportunities outside the three-point line. I am very confident in my shooting ability. confidence."

After Curry finished answering, he asked a rhetorical question.

"Don't you think it's cool to chase a three-pointer? And it can effectively damage the morale of the opponent."

The media reporter was speechless. He felt that the three-thirds vote in the counterattack was deviant, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

On the other side, Sun Yi was also surrounded by a group of media reporters who asked various questions.

"Sun, this game is your first show in March Madness. It is the first time you play such a big game and you can play such an outstanding performance and help the team advance smoothly. How do you feel at this moment?"

"I'm very happy to be able to help the team. Next, I will show better performance to help the team go further. This is March Madness, and no one wants to go back in despair." Sun Yi replied truthfully.

Afterwards, Sun Yi answered a few questions without leaking water, and did not fall into the tricks of the media reporters. The post-match interview was coming to an end.

After accepting the interview with media reporters, Sun Yi returned to the locker room to join the team.

After the Wildcats players arrived, the head coach McClupp made a post-match summary.

First of all, he praised the players who performed well, then pointed out some mistakes made in the game, and finally reminded the players a few words, so that the players should not get carried away, and guard against arrogance and impetuosity to prepare for the next top 32 games.

After McCropp finished speaking, he waved his hands and asked the disciples to go to the shower and change their clothes, then took them out of the arena and returned to the hotel where they were staying to rest.

The Wildcats successfully advanced to the first knockout round, and the top 32 will be their real battleground!
