I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 52 The unhidden mid-range shooting ability
On the Huskies bench, coach Jim Calhoun quickly arranged tactics.

"We will then defend the 3-2 zone defense and limit Stephen Curry's long shots."

The Huskies players nodded in understanding.

After Curry opened this point, the threat increased greatly and must be restricted.

"AJ and Kemba should be more decisive when attacking Curry. He can't be so accurate all the time."

"Jeff, if the No. 10 player from the Wildcats runs to the corner, you must follow him unswervingly and not give him a chance to shoot a three-pointer."

"Hashim, you still stay in the penalty area, don't worry about the corner or wing on the other side, and someone else will fill it."

In addition to adjusting the defensive strategy, Jim - Calhoun also made some other targeted arrangements.

On the other side, on the Wildcats bench, McClop also raced against time to set up tactics.

"Next, the opponent will definitely target Stephen, and Sun Lai will launch the attack."

"Okay, coach." Sun Yi nodded and replied.

"On the offensive end, we have to speed up the offensive tempo, take the opponent to run, consume their big center, reduce the opponent's defensive intensity, and then play the pass and cut cooperation that we rely on to survive."

"On the defensive end, play a 2-3 zone, limit their penetration, force them to try inconsistent three-point shooting."

The Wildcats players nodded in understanding.

After the tactics were arranged, McCropp talked about some chicken soup for the soul to motivate his disciples.

When the players were getting ready to take the field, he specifically called out Sun Yi.

"Fight with all your strength! Don't have any burdens."

Sun Yi replied solemnly: "Coach, I understand."

When the timeout expired, players from both sides returned to the field one after another.

Back from the timeout, the Huskies attack.

Price found that the Wildcats had changed their defensive strategy, making it extremely difficult to break through.

Immediately, he waved to the inside and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.

After the pick-and-roll was ready, Price bypassed the screen and shot a three-pointer directly.

The basketball rebounds into the basket.

24: 18!

The ball is switched and the Wildcats attack.

Curry dribbled the ball forward, looked at the Huskies' defensive position, and knew it.

"This is starting to target me, I can't afford it!"

The primary school student was not capricious, put the overall situation first, and passed the ball.

Outside the three-point line, Sun Yi received the pass and made a three-threat move in a stylish manner.

Seeing this, Adrian was beating a drum in his heart.

"This guy is full of fake movements, what should we do?"

He couldn't think of a good way, so he could only smash the jar and stand there to confront Sun Yi.

On the other side, Curry quickly moved without the ball, trying to get rid of the defense with the help of his teammates' cover.

But the players of the Huskies chased after him and did not give the pupils any chance to catch the ball.

Seeing that Curry couldn't get out of the open space, Sun Yi had no choice but to come by himself and waved to the penalty area.

Dabai Bian quickly stepped forward to coordinate the pick-and-roll.

After Sun Yi bypassed the screen, he was immediately defended by Walker and failed to get an open shot.

Since Walker comes to cover the defense, there must be a teammate who is open.

With a quick glance, Sun Yi spotted Hua Dian, immediately exited the three-point line, brushed the effect of his badge, and then quickly passed the ball over.

Ingram, who was open in the right corner, received the pass and made a decisive shot.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
"Hey! Plug-ins can't save immortal teammates."

Seeing this, Sun Yi shook his head helplessly, and then quickly returned to defense.

Ingram also felt embarrassed, and raised his hand to indicate that it was his fault.

Under the basket, Thabeet and Dabai Bian desperately competed for rebounds.

After some scrambling, the basketball was knocked out of the baseline by Da Baibian.

The ball is switched and the Huskies attack.

Seeing that the Wildcats did not change their defensive strategy, Price once again used the pick-and-roll to shoot three-pointers.

This time, Curry caught up, rushed to interfere, and immediately ran towards the frontcourt.

"Bang!"

Price's shot was a little short and the basketball hit the basket.

Sun Yi jumped up and grabbed the defensive rebound, and immediately threw it towards the frontcourt after landing.

Curry, who was on a fast break, received the pass, came outside the three-point line, and made a chasing three-pointer!

"Although this kind of fast break is deviant, I have to admit that it is really cool to watch!" Miller explained with a smile.

Looking back, Walker tried a three-pointer and missed.

The Wildcats once again had a chance to counterattack, and Curry assisted Sun Yi for a layup.

In the next few rounds, the Huskies changed their offensive method and broke through to the basket, but failed.

Sun Yi and Da Baibian teamed up to protect the restricted area like gold.

During this period, Sun Yi also harvested a block.

For small guys like Price and Walker, if they want to force a layup, they can only give away blocks!

In this way, the first half of the game ended, the score on the big screen was 39 to 32, and the Wildcats led by 7 points into the second half.

After a short 15-minute intermission, the second half began.

As soon as he came up, Sun Yi assisted Ingram and hit a three-pointer, making up for his mistakes in the first half.

Looking back, Price made another three-pointer, but still missed.

The Wildcats protected the offensive rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.

This time the Huskies accelerated their defense and did not allow the Wildcats to break fast.

Falling into a positional battle, Sun Yi did not step forward to catch the ball, but ran to the bottom corner.

Adrian kept the coach's words in mind and followed up to defend closely.

On the other side, Curry relied on the pick-and-roll, but still couldn't get rid of the defense. Instead of passing the ball, he changed direction and rushed towards the basket.

Now there is only Thabeet under the basket, and the elementary school student believes in his ability.

Because the elementary school students are too deep, there is no room for passing the ball, and there are chasing soldiers behind them, so they can only hit the basket high.

Thabeet, who was guarding the penalty area, saw that something was coming, he rushed up and slapped the rising basketball.

After finishing the cover, Thabeet glanced at Sun Yi provocatively, as if to say: It's your turn next time!

Sun Yi ignored it and came to Curry to exchange a few words.

"Dude, don't get on top, play steadily and keep the rhythm of the game firmly in our hands."

"Sun, don't worry, I will control the rhythm and won't mess around." Curry promised.

He also doesn't want to lose the great situation he created with his teammates because of his poor offensive choices.

The Wildcats sent the baseline ball, and Sun Yi received the pass. Seeing that time was running out, he could only make a jumper against Walker who switched defenses.

With Walker's height, it is basically impossible to interfere with Sun Yi.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

The audience burst into applause, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena again.

"Although Walker's interference is limited, I have to admit that Sun's mid-range shooting has improved a lot." Miller, as a marksman, can see many things.

Brin on the side nodded in agreement.

He has commented on many Wildcats games and is familiar with the playing characteristics of each Wildcats player, so he naturally discovered Sun Yi's progress.

In the next few rounds, Sun Yi no longer hid his clumsiness and asked his teammates to cooperate with him in singles. He wanted to win the game.

With the cooperation of his teammates, Sun Yi was able to give him points when he faced up against small men like Price and Walker.

Relying on Sun Yi's misplaced singles, the Wildcats quickly opened the point difference to more than 10 points.

On the sidelines, Huskies head coach Jim Calhoun shook his head helplessly.

He felt that the Wildcats coach McCropp was too stubborn, and he didn't show his cards until the Elite Eight.

"What an old cunt!"

After Jim Calhoun finished slandering in his heart, he immediately requested a timeout to make adjustments.
