Chapter 85 Fighting again!

After some warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the sidelines.

The auditorium is full of Wildcats fans. This is the home of the Wildcats. There are many fans of the Wildcats. Many of them are wearing Wildcats jerseys and waving various small flags. Looking around, it is spectacular.

Jimmy and Tina sat in the front seats, and behind them were some people who often played at the Ice Storms course. They held a sign with Meng Yun's name written in Chinese on it.

This brand was written by Jimmy, and the writing was correct, but it was crooked, like a bug crawling up it, which made Meng Yun's face turn black and he was a little speechless.

Mason Carr spread out the tactical board and arranged some tactics.

Then everyone dispersed, Meng Yun sat on the bench and muttered in a low voice: "When will I be able to be the starter? I promised Sister Shuyao that I must be the starter."

Meng Yun looked at the opposite side, and several starters of the George Mason University Patriots came on the court. Seeing Leo Keynes appearing in the starting lineup, Meng Yun was depressed again, secretly decided that he must work harder, Leo - Keynes is always the starter, and he has to be the starter as soon as possible.

The starting lineup of the George Mason University Patriots is center Anthony Mallory, power forward Steven Akerman, small forward Holt Gerrard, shooting guard Leo Keynes, point guard Charles Brown .

Several people came to the field and stood at a distance from Evan, Andy, Patrick, John, and Ronald. In the air in the middle, there seemed to be sparks splashing, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

"Evan." Anthony Mallory grinned suddenly, the smile looked a little cold, and said: "We fought again. This time, you are not so lucky."

Evan smiled lightly, and counterattacked: "Hehe, last season was indeed a bit of luck, but this time we don't need luck to beat you."

"Hmph." Anthony Mallory snorted coldly, glanced at the Wildcats players, feeling a little puzzled, "People are still those people, Evan, Andy, Ronald, what makes Evan so confident?"

Don't let Anthony Mallory think too much, the game officially begins.

The referee threw the ball into the air. Anthony Mallory jumped up quickly, picked the ball with his fingertips, and picked the ball to his own half first. Then he glanced at Patrick and ran to the frontcourt.

"Isn't it just a jump ball?" Patrick pouted.

In a blink of an eye, the Wildcats have set up the defense, the Patriots arrive, and after a few quick passes, the ball is given to Anthony Mallory, who tiptoes and pulls.

Evan had been prepared for a long time. It was not the first time he had played against Anthony Mallory. When he saw Anthony Mallory's action, he knew that he must be a dry pull, and immediately jumped up to block the shot.

Unfortunately, the ball still failed to cover.

Swish!
With a soft sound, Anthony Mallory turned around, gave Evan a provocative look, and walked away.

John came over and said angrily, "Captain, pay him back later."

"No need." Evan shook his head, his expression indifferent: "Play as you want, the game has just begun. But you, keep an eye on that No. 2 (Leo Cairns)."

In that crucial game last season, David Tester was helpless, and his tactics also limited the personal abilities of Andy, Ronald and others, so Evan could only fight alone.

But it's different now.

The arrival of Mason Carr has made the Wildcats stronger, the tactical system has been formed, and the personal abilities of Andy, Ronald and others have also been liberated. Evan does not need to be like last season.

"Tactical No. 1."

Andy advanced to the frontcourt and gestured to his teammates. The Wildcat players started to act, quickly running, moving, pick-and-roll and cover.

With a flick of his wrist, Andy hit the ground and passed the ball to the middle.

"not good."

"Careful inside."

George Mason University sidelines yell.

The next moment, Ronald made an air cut, quickly cut in from the middle, grabbed Andy's pass, touched the ground with his toes, jumped up to the basket, lightly lifted, and swished, and put the ball in.

One minute later, Ronald made another air cut, but there was someone inside. He didn't force a layup, but threw it outside the three-point line in the left corner. Andy caught the ball, raised the knife and dropped, three points hit.

Tens of seconds later, Andy broke through and gave the ball to Evan. Evan made a gesture to shoot, attracting the inside players of the Patriots. Patrick took the opportunity to cut in, slipped to the basket along the baseline, and waited until Evan hit the ground and passed the ball. Patrick grabbed the ball and dunked with both hands, and the rim was shaking.
Minutes passed quickly.

At this time, the score on the field became 11:8, and the Wildcats led by 4 points.

Patriots head coach Adam Horton called a timeout, frowned, and whispered to himself: "The Wildcats are not the same as before. Five minutes into the game, Evan didn't score, but everyone else scored 5 points. "

This is very abnormal in Adam Horton's view. Evan is the ace of the Wildcats. In the key battle of last season, it was because of Evan's 33 points that the Wildcats could enter the top eight.

But after playing for a few minutes today, Evan didn't make a single shot. He didn't score, but everyone else scored. This is the scary thing!

"We have underestimated the enemy." Adam Horton secretly said, summoned his players around, and began to arrange: "We made a mistake and misjudged the opponent's situation. We will adjust later, don't just stare at Evan, yes Everyone else has to keep an eye on it too, Andy, Ronald, John, and that freshman rookie (Patrick), none of them can be let go."

Anthony Mallory hesitated and asked, "So, what about Evan's singles?"

Adam Horton pondered for a while, then said: "Shrink the defense a little bit, and pay more attention to assisting in defense. We can't let the opponent play more blooms, but we can't let Evan get too many points."

He had to worry about this. In the game last season, it was because Evan scored too many points and almost defeated them by himself. Evan's lethality was too great to be ignored.

After a moment, the pause ends.

The two sides returned to the field, and the Patriots changed their defensive strategy.

As a result, Evan began to break out and played consecutive singles. Although the Patriots had an assist defense to limit Evan as much as possible, Evan was very strong. Forward Steven Ackerman was a little nervous, so he was naturally not Evan's opponent.

In addition, Andy, Ronald and others will come over from time to time to cover the pick-and-roll for Evan. Several people intersperse back and forth, and their tactics are flexible and changeable, which makes the Patriots feel a headache.

"Compared to last season, the strength of the Wildcats has become much stronger." Anthony Mallory exchanged a look with Leo Cairns, and whispered to himself: "However, we have also become stronger!"
