Chapter 61 The Hidden Ace

上半场打了18分32秒，比分变成了34:29，野猫队落后5分。

The point difference ranged from 18 points to 5 points, which was less than 10 minutes. In less than 10 minutes, the Wildcats launched a fierce counterattack, and the Duke team was almost stunned.

In the duke's rest area, a group of substitute players peeked at Edwin George, all of them silent. Edwin George's face was extremely ugly. Anyone who dared to provoke him at this time would be miserable.

But not everyone is afraid to speak, at least Benson Rutherford is an exception, he frowned, stood up suddenly, and said, "Coach, let me go."

Edwin George was moved, looked at the timer, and shook his head again: "No, there is more than one minute left in the first half and it will be over, let's talk about the second half."

"Yes." Benson Rutherford was not disappointed, because Edwin George's meaning was very clear, that is, he would play in the second half, "I've been hiding for so long, I'm suffocated."

Everyone knows that the ace player of the Duke team is Joe Francis, but few people know that they have another ace player this season-that is Benson Rutherford.

Benson Rutherford is a freshman this year and only entered the Duquesne University Duke team this season.

Originally, Benson Rutherford was a member of the school team and a starter in high school, but he was not dazzling, but in the past few months after graduating from high school and entering Duquesne University, he has completed a personal transformation. Not only his height He suddenly grew several centimeters taller, from the original 200 centimeters to 208 centimeters, and even his physical fitness and skills have also improved by leaps and bounds.

After entering Duquesne University, Benson Rutherford was quickly favored by Edwin George, who established him as another ace player of the team.

Because Benson Rutherford was not outstanding at first, Edwin George realized that Benson Rutherford could be used as a "hidden trump card".

So in the warm-up match, he let Benson Rutherford hide his strength.

Of course, after entering the regular season, Benson Rutherford will be exposed sooner or later, but according to Edwin George's vision, first win the game that can be won, and then let Benson Rutherford explode when needed, Unexpectedly, maximize the benefits.

So even though the Wildcats kept chasing points, Edwin George hesitated a few times before letting Benson Rutherford play, but in this situation, he had to play the trump card of Benson Rutherford.

"Mason Carr, that bastard, made me expose Benson Rutherford so early." Edwin George gritted his teeth, extremely annoyed, all his plans were disrupted.

"beep"

The whistle blows, and the Wildcats make a substitution.

Meng Yun was replaced by Andy.

In the last minute or so of the first half, the Wildcats were unable to further narrow the point difference. After all, the NCAA's game system is 30 seconds for a single round of attack time, which is more than a minute. If you play slower, you will only have one or two attacks.

Fortunately, the Duke team also failed to score, the score is still 34:29.

Edwin George took a deep breath, called his players around, and said: "We underestimated the Wildcats. We can't lose this game, we must go all out."

The eyes of Michael Lee, Topher Smith and others lit up, and they all looked at Benson Rutherford. According to the coach, Benson Rutherford is coming!

"Wait for Benson to come on, and Joe and Michael, you too." Edwin George said: "It doesn't matter what offensive tactics the opponent plays, as long as I keep an eye on them, you all know the opponent's offensive habits." You know, take advantage of that. But the most important thing is our offense."

"Joe, Benson."

"The offense is up to you, and your task is to score." Edwin George said murderously: "Let the Wildcats see our true strength and beat them for me."

Benson Rutherford and Joe Francis responded with high spirits, "Yes, Coach."

A group of Duke players had excited smiles on their faces, their fighting spirit was high, and they sneered: "Benson makes a shot, the Wildcats can't stop it, they are finished."

"Haha, so what if we catch up to only 5 points left? They would never think that we have hidden a trump card. Some of them cried this time."

"It's just a pity that Benson will be exposed so early."

"Benson, it's up to you."

A group of people chattered, as if they were winning.

Facing everyone's eyes, Benson-Rutherford clenched his fist and proudly said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

On the side, Joe Francis frowned slightly, and glanced at Benson Rutherford, feeling a little unhappy. This Benson was a little too self-righteous.

The second half begins.

After the intermission, the physical fitness of the players has been restored. On the Wildcats side are Patrick, Evan, Clark Thomas, John, and Andy.

Seeing Benson Rutherford on the field, Meng Yun frowned, and grabbed Evan who was walking on the court: "Captain, the opponent's No. 9 (Benson Rutherford) is on. I feel that this guy It's never easy, just be careful."

Evan frowned, looked at Benson-Rutherford seriously, and didn't see anything, but he felt that he should trust Meng Yun: "Don't worry, I won't be careless, the strength of that No. 9 will be known later gone."

Meng Yun nodded and went back to the rest area to sit down.

For Benson Rutherford, Meng Yun trusted his intuition that this guy was definitely no worse than Joe Francis, but he had no evidence, so he just told Evan.

"Snapped!"

With a soft sound, the ball was shot by Patrick to the backcourt, and the Wildcats got the ball.

This is another difference between ncaa and nba. nba only uses a jump ball to determine the ball at the beginning of the game, while ncaa needs a jump ball at the beginning of the second half.

"attack!"

Evan yelled, and the Wildcats went on the attack.

After advancing to the frontcourt, Andy tried it out. Seeing that the opponent's defense was not targeted, he looked at Mason Carr. Mason Carr nodded. Andy understood and gestured to his teammates. They do defense against tactics, then there is no need for "critical command".

After all, although "critical command" is powerful, its flaws cannot be ignored. When the opponent has no targeted defense, it is safer to play according to the original tactics than "critical command".

A few passes, a run, the Dukes are stretched out, and Evan has room for a single, backs Benson Rutherford in the low post, and starts a single.

"I'm not Swell-Bob." Benson-Rutherford sneered, lowered his center of gravity, and leaned against Evan. His strong body was like a concrete wall. Evan carried it back twice, but he remained motionless.

Benson Rutherford can be favored by Edwin George and become another ace of the Dukes comparable to Joe Francis. His strength is not only reflected in his physical fitness, but also his defensive awareness and footwork. Biswell-Bob is more than one step stronger, and against Evan, he does not lose the wind in the slightest.
