Chapter 186 The Clown
The head coach of the Rams at Fordham University is called Moses Cook. He is a middle-aged white man with a big belly and a bald head. He is already bald. His scalp is shiny and shiny, and he looks very happy.

At this time, Moses Curry gathered his players and began to point out: "Jefferson, George, Giles, Campbell, Hall, you still start."

These five are regular starters at Fordham University, with Jefferson at center, George at power forward, Giles at small forward, Campbell at shooting guard, and Hall at point guard.

A few of them are sophomores and juniors

Among them, Hall is the captain of the team and the ace player of the team. He is 194cm tall. He is a typical black guy with bulging muscles on his arms.

In fact, Hall's physical fitness is indeed very strong, his technique is also good, his breakthrough is sharp, his personal scoring ability is very strong, and he belongs to the scoring No. 1 position.

Hall had already made his mark at Fordham University last season, and this season he has made considerable progress and has been established as the core and ace player of the team.

The reason why Fordham University was able to rank 8th this season is due to Hall's contribution.

"Hall." Moses Cook looked at Hall, "I don't know if the opponent's No. 1 will start. Although he is a freshman, he is very strong. If he starts, don't take it lightly."

"I know." Hall nodded and said with a smile: "In their last game, that Meng Yun scored 26 points. Even Werner Rodney suffered from him. I won't take it lightly. .”

Moses Cook felt relieved, looked at the others, and told them one by one.

This is the first time they have played against Davidson Academy this season, and the experience from last season is completely useless, because Davidson Academy has changed so much this season that they are almost like two different teams.

Even for players such as Evan, Andy, and Ronald who had already played against each other last season, Moses Cook repeatedly reminded his players to be careful, because he knew that they were different from last season.

After some exhortations, Moses Cook arranged several targeted tactics.

After the arrangement was completed, Moses Cook waved his hand and the crowd dispersed. He looked towards Davidson College and said to himself, "The current Davidson College is completely different from last season. Mason Karl is at a higher level than David Tester There are many more, and there is No. 1. What is going on this season? Davidson College suddenly has a No. 1, and Virginia Commonwealth University also has a Xianglong. That guy is even more terrifying. Moreover, these two guys are both Asians. "

Here, Meng Yun and others surrounded Mason Carr.

Mason Carr said: "Patrick, Evan, Ronald, John, Andy, you guys are still starting."

"Yes." Several people replied, looking at Meng Yun quietly.

Meng Yun's current strength is already very strong. Although he may not be able to compare with Evan, at least he is not inferior to Andy. In the last game, he even beat Werner Rodney and scored 26 points, which is completely enough. hit starter.

But why didn't the coach let him start for a long time?

Meng Yun is still somewhat disappointed, but now his mentality is much calmer. His position in the team and his playing time are no worse than that of the starters. Whether he is a starter or not is not that important.

In fact, Meng Yun has a vague guess that when he starts the game, he may have to bear more responsibilities, and the burden will not be lighter than Evan's.

With great power comes great responsibility, which is probably the case.

"The opponent's strength is not bad, we have to preemptively strike, and we must show our momentum from the beginning." Mason Carr spread out the tactical board, arranged offensive tactics, and then looked at Andy, "Andy, pay attention later, Hall is good. Plus, John, double-teams with Andy if necessary."

John raised his brows and said, is it necessary?

Seeing John's thoughts, Andy whispered: "This is a game, and our goal is to win. Double-teaming Hall can make it easier for us to win."

"Yeah." John nodded, understanding.

This is the game, no matter what team you are playing against, you have to go all out.

Afterwards, Mason Carr told everyone a few more words.

At this time, the game officially started.

Meng Yun clapped hands with Evan, Andy and others, and then looked at the Fordham University bench. Oliver Matthew was sitting on the bench, looking at him, his eyes were cold and fierce.

"Hmph." Meng Yun snorted coldly and looked away.

For Meng Yun now, Oliver Matthew is just a clown, and he can't make any big waves, because the two are not on the same level at all. If Oliver Matthew really wants to jump, Meng Yun has plenty of ways to deal with him.

This time, that time, now is not the same as before.

"beep"

The whistle blows and the game begins.

Patrick slapped the ball into the backfield and Davidson College went on the offensive.

Compared with Davidson College, Fordham University is inferior in several positions except for Hall, which can compete with Davidson College, and soon fell into a disadvantage.

As soon as Evan came up, he directly played singles, and the opponent double-teamed. As a result, he cooperated with Patrick in an internal pass, assisted Patrick to score, and scored first.

When it comes to offense, Fordham University will still play Hall.

Hall took the ball and took a look at the situation on the court. Just as he was about to play singles, he saw John pounced on him. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly passed the ball out, with a gloomy expression on his face: "You actually double-teamed me from the very beginning! But It's not that easy to limit me." He started to move, moved to the right, and then ran back suddenly.

Whoosh!
The ball came and was given to Hall again.

Hall took the ball and played without giving Davidson College a chance to double-team. He took advantage of the situation and made a breakthrough. After hitting the inside line, he jumped up against Patrick's defense and made a small throw.

Swish!
The goal was scored, 2:2.

"Hall's personal scoring ability is indeed very strong, but he is very smart in playing." Meng Yun nodded secretly. He will definitely match up with Hall later. This is a good opponent, maybe not as good as Werner Rodney, but It doesn't necessarily mean that the difference is much, but there are not many helpers around, otherwise Fordham University's record will be better.

Hall's personal scoring ability is very strong, but he lacks helpers. He can score the ball, but when he turns around, Davidson College can return one immediately.

And Davidson College has more points here, not just Evan scoring points, Patrick, Andy, Ronald all have points.John, on the other hand, seems to be used to playing in the rotation lineup now, but he can't let go of it in the starting lineup.

John is capable, he just can't let go.

In other words, there is a problem with his own role positioning. He can't find his place in this lineup. He doesn't want to compete with Evan and Andy for the ball, so he doesn't take the initiative to attack, but waits for the ball.But his technical characteristic is to attack with the ball. He must have the ball in his hand. If he doesn't have the ball in his hand, he will be out of shape.

Seeing this situation, Danny Klemans frowned slightly and said, "Coach Carl, I think it's time for Meng Yunjin to start. John can't find his place in the starting lineup at all, basically he can't play much role , On the contrary, he played very well in the rotation."

Mason Carr nodded, acknowledging this, but then shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer, the time has not come yet, wait for Meng Yun to grow up."
