king of defenders

Chapter 54 Something is wrong

"Snapped"

Patrick jumps the ball to win, and shoots the ball to the backcourt, Andy controls the ball, takes a look at the frontcourt, then starts to advance, after crossing the center line, he gestures to his teammates, Patrick, Ronald, John all pull to the right On the left side, Evan was in the low position on the left, stuck in position with one hand, and raised the ball with the other.

Andy passes the ball.

That's the Wildcats' routine, starting from Evan's point.

The starting power forward of the Duquesne University Duke team is Swell Bob. He is 207 cm tall. Compared with Evan, he is not at a disadvantage in height, but he is inferior to Evan in terms of scoring ability and defense. few.

So from the beginning, the Wildcats played Evan's point, which is a strong point. Starting from this point can quickly open up the situation and grab the head start.

"really."

Seeing that the ball was in Evan's hands, Duke coach Edwin George sneered. He didn't need to remind him. The Duke players on the field responded immediately and double-teamed Evan.

"what?"

"It's just double-teaming from the very beginning?"

In the auditorium, the fans were surprised. They didn't expect the Duke team to behave like this. The game had just started. Although Evan was a big threat, he wouldn't be double-teaming right from the start, right?
Jimmy, Derek and others were all shocked.

Not far away, Kenny Jefferson frowned, and said to himself: "I double-teamed from the beginning, aren't we afraid of missing people because of it?"

In fact, the Wildcats did miss someone because of this, and the two double-teamed Evan at the same time, leaving Andy empty.

Seeing the opponent double-team, Evan was surprised, but not flustered. Immediately thinking that his teammates would have a chance, he grabbed the ball and passed it outside, intending to pass it to Andy.

"not good."

an exclamation.

However, Michael Lee, who had rushed over to double-team Evan with Swell Bob, suddenly retreated, stopped halfway, and moved to the outside line. When Evan passed the ball, he happened to block Andy's In front, the arm stretched out, cut off Evan's pass, and then immediately threw it to the frontcourt.

What surprised the fans even more was that at some point, Joe Francis was about to go down, hit the frontcourt, received a pass from Michael Lee, and made a dunk.

2: 0!

In the auditorium, the fans were stunned.

On the court, Evan and Andy looked at each other, a little at a loss. The ball was played according to tactics. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this?
"This ball..." Meng Yun frowned, feeling something was wrong, "Strange, the opponent seems to know how we will play. It seems that the opponent double-teamed Evan at the beginning just now, and it seems that they deliberately wanted to force Evan to pass the ball. But how do they know that Evan will definitely pass to Andy? Also, Evan has just got the ball and Joe Francis is about to play, how does he know that there will be a fast break opportunity? How dare he give up defense and choose to play instead Fast break?"

These are very strange, Meng Yun couldn't figure out what was going on, he looked up at Mason Carr, and saw Mason Carr was also frowning, obviously aware of this.

Meng Yun thought for a while, but he still didn't speak. The game has just started, and this is the first ball. Although it feels a little wrong, but there is nothing to see, maybe it's just a coincidence.

"Perhaps, it's just a coincidence." Mason Carr and Meng Yun had the same thoughts. He shook his head slightly and stood on the sidelines with his arms folded, intending to have a look before talking.

On the field.

Andy advanced to the frontcourt. Thinking of the ball just now, he couldn't help hesitating. He looked at Evan. Evan was also a low-post player. He raised one hand. Seeing that Evan was about to hit, Andy stopped hesitating. passed on.

When Evan got the ball, the Dukes double-teamed again.

This time Evan was not in a hurry to pass the ball. In fact, before Michael Lee threw the ball in front of him just now, Evan thought he was going to double-team, so he passed the ball immediately to be intercepted by the opponent.

So this time Evan is not in a hurry to pass the ball. If the opponent wants to double-team, then wait for the opponent to come over before passing the ball, so that the opponent will not be able to retreat.

"Oh, this kid is not stupid, but it's a pity, I expected it a long time ago." Edwin George sneered, and shouted at the field: "Action."

The next moment, the Duke players moved. Michael Lee jumped at Evan, double-teamed Evan with Swell-Bob, and the two danced their arms again and again, trying to block Evan.

At the same time, other Duke players moved. Joe Francis and Topher Smith, who were originally pulled to the right, quickly moved to the left. Joe Francis blocked Andy, and Topher Smith was in the middle.

Seeing this situation, Danny Klemans' heart skipped a beat, and he secretly cried out, "Not good."

Mason Carr frowned, and immediately shouted at the field: "Move, respond." However, his reminder was still a bit late. Evan was double-teamed and wanted to pass to Andy, but found that Andy was caught by Joe- Francis stuck close, and Evan immediately knew something was wrong, so he could only pass the ball to the right, because Ronald and John were both on the right.

But when the ball was passed, there was only a "snap" and it was thrown across the middle. Topher Smith, who had been eyeing him for a long time, broke the ball, and then quickly launched a fast break.

Ronald and John were on the move, ready to catch up. Seeing the ball being cut off, both of them thumped in their hearts. John was faster, and immediately chased after Topher Smith to the Wildcats half. Topher Smith chased a cap, but was called a foul by the referee and allowed Topher Smith to score.

2+1!

"Damn." John was annoyed, feeling extremely depressed.

In fact, it's not just John, the players on the Wildcats are very depressed, and they made two mistakes in less than a minute of the game, which is simply hell.

In the auditorium, the fans whispered.

"How did you play? There were two mistakes just at the beginning."

"Is the opponent so strong?"

"It's not that the opponent is strong, it's that our Wildcats didn't play well."

This is the home court, but the Wildcats are playing like this, which is really depressing, and the momentum of the home court is gone.

Jimmy, Derek and others all lamented, not knowing what to say. Kenny Jefferson, who was not far away, narrowed his eyes and looked at Duke coach Edwin George. Much higher, others failed to notice the clues, but he was keenly aware that something was wrong.

The Wildcats played well with these two balls. The reason why they made two mistakes in a row was that the opponent was always one step ahead of them, as if they could predict the future.

"It's not right, it's definitely not right." Kenny Jefferson frowned and muttered in a low voice, "But what's wrong? Could it be that the head coach of Duquesne University is really so good?" Kenny Jefferson just thought of this He just shook his head and denied this idea. If the head coach of Duquesne University is really so good, it is impossible for Duquesne University to only rank 11th in the Atlantic Ten League last season, and not even make it into the top eight.
