king of defenders

Chapter 170 The Game Begins

"Patrick, Evan, Ronald, John, Andy." Mason Carr named them one by one, with a serious expression, "Later, we will fight according to my arrangement. Remember, we must be aggressive, and we must be aggressive. momentum."

"Ah."

"Yes, coach." Several people responded.

The tactics have actually been laid out a long time ago. At this time, there are some problems. But for the Wildcats, the most important thing is to show momentum. The opponent is aggressive, and only by showing momentum can the opponent be deterred.

Not far away, St. Louis University head coach Bowerman Arnold looked serious and was telling his players to pay attention to some problems in defense and offense.

Bowerman-Arnold is a black coach, in his fifties, with a round face, a big belly, and looks very happy.He is not a player, but an academic coach. He has coached college basketball teams for 20 years. He has rich experience, strong ability to use tactics, and high coaching ability.

The so-called academics are not born as players, but they have considerable research on basketball and have rich theoretical knowledge. They generally start as assistant coaches and gradually become head coaches.

In addition, there are actual players, that is to say, coaches who were born as players. They were all former players, and a large part of them were substitute players. They sat on the bench for a long time and had no chance to play, but they had enough time to observe and analyze the game. , think about the tactics assigned by the coach, etc.
This enables them to learn a lot from the coaches and has the foundation to become a coach. After retiring, they will naturally become a coach.

The academic school and the practical school have their own advantages and disadvantages. Strictly speaking, there is no difference between the superior and the inferior, but they have prejudices against each other for a long time.

"No matter how the opponent plays, we can't be chaotic. We can play as we want. You guys should pay attention to cooperation. As long as you cooperate well, there is no team that we can't beat." Bowerman-Arnold is a team that emphasizes tactics. , A coach who emphasizes teamwork. After all, he is not a player, and he does not superstitiously believe in or admire the individual abilities of players. He has a serious tone and reminds his players, "There is one more thing that cannot be taken lightly."

A group of Saint Louis University players nodded in unison.

At this time, the flute sounded and the game officially started.

Meng Yun was still a substitute, sitting on the bench, but he couldn't relax, staring at the court without blinking, his eyes fell on Werner Rodney, and he thought to himself: "How strong is he? "

"Snapped!"

The first is the jump ball. Patrick has been training extraordinarily hard during this period, and his weight has been lost. His condition has gradually returned to the level before the winter vacation, and his bounce has naturally recovered. He hits the ball first and shoots the ball to the backcourt.

Andy quickly grabbed the ball, looked up, and saw that Saint Louis University had already completed the retreat.

"So fast?"

Andy raised his brows, and advanced to the frontcourt unhurriedly. A figure flashed in front of him, and Werner Rodney pounced on him, staring at Andy with his hands open, with a smile on his lips.

But in Andy's opinion, this smile is very annoying.

Saint Louis University is also a regular starter today, center Andre Charles, power forward Jason Sanders, small forward Michael Clark, shooting guard Ramsden Joyce, point guard Werner Rodney .

"Move, move."

Andy dribbled the ball with one hand and protected the ball with the other. He didn't dare to neglect Werner Rodney. The two played against each other last season, and Andy lost completely.

Of course, Andy is not what it used to be. When he faced Werner Rodney again, he didn't think he would be completely defeated by the opponent, but at the same time, he also knew how powerful the opponent was. After making great progress, is Werner Rodney just standing still?

Therefore, Andy didn't intend to go head-to-head with Warner Rodney as soon as he came up.

Several people moved quickly and moved according to the tactics. Evan came to the left side to get the ball outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle. Andy passed the ball and then quickly moved to the right.Evan took the ball and seemed to be playing singles. The St. Louis University players did not dare to neglect. Jason Sanders quickly stepped forward and was very close to Evan, not giving him a chance to make a shot.

"I didn't intend to shoot." Evan smiled secretly, shook his hand, and passed the ball to Patrick.

At this time, the inside line was quite empty. Patrick relied on his physical ability to fight and was deep in the position. After receiving the pass from Evan, he played directly in singles, looking for physical contact, forming a physical confrontation, using Saint Louis University center Andre Charles. The shortcoming of poor confrontation ability, I first carried it with my body, then suddenly hugged the ball and lifted it up.

"Looking for death!" Andre-Charles snorted coldly and jumped up.

When he jumped up, his face couldn't help but change.

Patrick was just a feint, didn't jump at all, didn't let the ball go, got it back instead, waited until Andre-Charles was down, jumped up, hit a time difference, hit a board, and scored the ball.

This ball was played beautifully!
Meng Yun secretly called out a good shot, and couldn't help but look at Mason Carr.

This ball is also a tactic. It comes from Mason Carr's arrangement. The opponent's players complement each other. If they want to take advantage of their respective shortcomings, they must be dismantled.

Therefore, Evan needs to get the ball. He has a great reputation and great strength. Once he gets the ball, Saint Louis University naturally dare not neglect, not to mention Evan has an outside shot. He takes the ball from the outside. Dare to shrink inside?
Coupled with the fact that everyone else moved to the right before, Evan pulled Jason Sanders outside, leaving only Patrick and Andre Charles on the inside.Andre-Charles has poor confrontation ability, and Patrick's physical confrontation is an advantage. Although his technique is a bit rough, as long as the pressure is deep enough and the space is enough, Andre-Charles can suffer a bit.

This ball Andre - Charles suffered a loss.

Turn around, Saint Louis University offense.

Werner Rodney advanced to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to his teammates. Several St. Louis University players quickly interspersed and moved back and forth like a revolving lantern.

After a few moves, Ramsden-Joyce had his chance.

John is okay on the offensive end, with comprehensive scoring methods, and can attack independently, but on the defensive end, he is a little bit worse. He was overwhelmed by the opponent's several interspersed moves.

"Be careful." Ning Yi shouted.

But it's too late.

The ball was in the hands of Ramsden-Joyce. He is a pure shooter himself. He would not hesitate at all in such an opportunity. He raised his hand and shot, a three-pointer.

Swish!
With a soft sound, the ball went into the net hollow, and the score became 3:2.
