I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 16 Suffocating Defense

In the basketball gymnasium of Davidson College, the auditorium was already fully occupied.

During this period of time, the Wildcats made a name for themselves, and naturally everything went up.

It not only attracted a large number of fans from surrounding cities, but also attracted a large number of scouts and media reporters to watch the game after hearing the news.

Before the start of the game, in the Wildcats locker room, head coach McCropp, as usual, instilled chicken soup for the players.

"Boys, cheer up! As long as we win this game, we can achieve a perfect record and a perfect ending!"

After hearing this, the players of the Wildcats were very excited.

Although the preseason record is not included in the subsequent regular season, it is not easy to win a complete victory, which will greatly improve the team's morale.

"Okay lads, it's time for us to go out and win the damn game!"

"The Wildcats must win!" all the players shouted in unison.

McCropp nodded in satisfaction, pushed open the door of the locker room, and led his disciples to the court with their heads held high.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers and shouts of the fans at the scene, the players of the Wildcats ran out of the player channel one after another.

Coming to the stadium, Sun Yi heard fans shouting his name, turned his head to the auditorium, smiled, and waved to the enthusiastic fans.

After the first few warm-up matches, Sun Yi also gained a group of fans, and he is considered a little famous.

After the entrance ceremony, the players from both sides took to the court one after another for warm-up activities.

Not long after, the warm-up activities ended, and the starting players from both sides came to the middle circle to prepare for the jump ball.

In the jump ball session, Whiteside won the basketball and gave the Wildcats the first chance to attack.

Curry dribbled forward, and was blocked by Evans as soon as he came beyond the three-point line.

Da Baibian immediately stepped forward, made an off-ball screen, and blocked Evans' path.

But this pick-and-roll failed to succeed, and was squeezed by Evans with his strong body.

In fact, the quality of Whiteside's pick-and-roll is not high. His previous opponents were too weak and there were no problems. But now facing Evans, who has NBA strength, his weaknesses are naturally exposed.

Failed to break through, Curry naturally couldn't beat Evans, after all, there is a big gap in physical fitness between the two.

Sun Yi quickly ran past Curry, jumped up immediately after receiving the basketball hand in hand, and threw the basketball in his hand.

The chasing University of Memphis small forward Button looked dazed and failed to make any interference moves. He did not expect such a situation to happen.

"Could it be that the coach gave me wrong information?!"

According to the information obtained by Barton, Sun Yi's playing characteristics tend to be a violent small forward type, but it does not say that he has a mid-range shot.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

After the goal, Sun Yi raised his right hand in celebration, enjoying the cheers and shouts of the fans.

After more than a month of shooting training, he finally improved his mid-range shooting attributes to 70 points, thus producing a qualitative change.

"Improved mid-range shooting ability is different, and the shooting stability is much better."

Sun Yi was very happy. He had a stable scoring method and would not be easily targeted by his opponents.

The ball transitions and Memphis attacks.

Evans dribbled the ball to the three-point line, looked at Sun Yi, who was thirty or forty centimeters away, and frowned.

"This guy underestimated my projection ability too much. He must be made to pay for his stupid behavior."

Evans immediately raised his hand and jumped up to shoot.

Sun Yi has conducted actual combat drills with the simulated Evans tool man in the virtual dreamland, and he is very clear about Evans' shooting habits.

The moment Evans took off, Sun Yi immediately rushed forward and stretched his arms to interfere.

"This training point is really worth the money!"

Evans saw a big hand suddenly appear in front of him in the air, and his shooting rhythm was affected. He could only throw the ball in an awkward posture.

Clang!
The basketball bounced off the front of the basket and was grabbed by Whiteside.

Curry received the pass and immediately started to advance towards the frontcourt and launch a defensive counterattack.

At the same time, Sun Yi quickly stepped in and tore apart the University of Memphis' defense.

Just when the University of Memphis players focused their defensive attention on these two, Whiteside quickly rushed into the penalty area, received a wonderful pass from Curry, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

4: 0!

"Good shot! Very tacit fast break cooperation, the running of the Wildcat trio is perfect, textbook teamwork."

Reggie Miller, the commentator for this game, commented.

Returning to the court, Evans dribbled forward to the top of the key to organize the attack.

When he saw that Sun Yi still adopted the previous defensive position, he didn't take it lightly.

"Hehe, I won't be fooled again, it's time for me to make a move next, let you experience a tank-style breakthrough."

Evans lowered his shoulders and lowered his center of gravity, kicked his right foot on the ground, and rushed towards the three-point line at the fastest speed.

Seeing this, Sun Yi immediately moved sideways and ran to stand on the route of Evans ahead of time.

Through actual combat exercises, Sun Yi discovered that Evans is good at breakthroughs with his right hand, and he relies on his strong body to squeeze breakthroughs.

At the same time, this is also one of Evans' weaknesses, because he is too inclined to break to the right, which is easy to be guessed by the opponent.

Therefore, the opponent will stand in advance and deliberately let him hit, causing him to make an offensive foul.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yi didn't go head-on, his small body couldn't resist Evans' collision.

Immediately, Sun Yi fought and retreated, and at the same time extended his arm to interfere, preventing Evans from making a sudden stop for a jumper.

Evans was very happy to see that Sun Yi didn't dare to fight against him physically, but he didn't think so afterwards.

Although Sun Yi fought and retreated, giving Evans a certain shooting space, his defense did not lose his position and he could block shots at any time.

"Fuck! This guy is really not a man, I don't believe you don't have to defend in this way when you are in the penalty area."

Evans felt very helpless, like a fist hitting cotton, with nowhere to use his strength.

When Sun Yi saw Evans rushing into the penalty area, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he didn't retreat any more, ready to accept the impact.

Fat Sheep finally took the bait!
In the blink of an eye, Sun Yi and Evans collided, staggering back two or three steps before stabilizing their figure.

"Damn it! Almost knocked me out, this guy is too strong."

Sun Yi regained his strength and extended his arms to interfere.

On the other side, after knocking Sun Yi away, Evans adjusted and made a small throw.

Whiteside, who had already been prepared in the penalty area, came from the side, jumped high, and slapped the rising basketball away.

Curry, who followed up, grabbed the basketball, turned around and ran towards the frontcourt.

When Evans saw this, he knew he was being targeted.

This guy in front of him is only used to attract hatred, and the other two are the key figures in this defense.

After Evans figured it out, he quickly turned around and pursued the defense.

The Wildcats launched a defensive counterattack, Curry came outside the three-point line to attract the defense, and passed the ball to Sun Yi, who followed up from the right.

Sun Yi received the pass, took a big step, and after a physical confrontation with Gilder who retreated to the basket, he threw the ball to the backboard.

After the basketball rebounded, it knocked out of the frame and failed to make a hit.

Sun Yi immediately took off for the second time, jumping up before Gilder, stretching his arms and hitting the ball into the basket.

Gilder shook his head helplessly when he saw this, he had to admit that the guy in front of him was playing too fast.

On the sidelines, the head coach of the University of Memphis, John Calipari, had some headaches. He was beaten 6-0 at the beginning, and the situation was a bit bad.

But he did not ask for a timeout. He wanted to wait and hope that the players could solve the problem themselves.

But what he didn't expect was that because of his hesitation, the University of Memphis missed a good time to adjust, thus losing the game.
