king of defenders

Chapter 199 Lost to Experience

Meng Yun's words shocked his teammates. They looked at each other and laughed together: "Meng Yun is right, the stronger the opponent is, the more sense of accomplishment you will have when you defeat them."

Fighting spirit is rekindled, morale is back.

Looking at the few people, Mason Carr nodded secretly. Morale is very important. If the morale is gone before the game is over, then there is really no need to fight again.

After a moment, the pause ends.

Both sides have carried out personnel rotation, and they are all rotating lineups. The main players are replaced and rest for a few minutes, and then fortunately, they will have a decisive battle in the last few minutes.

John played well with the bench lineup, but it was a pity that he still lost to the rotation lineup of St. Joseph University. The background of Davidson College was still worse. Fortunately, the difference was not too big. After playing for more than three minutes, the point difference was as good as 10. point.

"beep"

Mason Carr called a timeout and made a substitution: "Evan, Andy, Ronald, you three come on. Remember, play patiently, score more points, tear the opponent's defense, and be firm in your shots."

After some arrangement, the two sides came back and the fighting continued.

For a while, the confrontation escalated again, and it had completely reached the level of a knockout match. Whether it was inside or outside, the defense was very oppressive.

"The fight was intense."

In the auditorium, Jimmy frowned, looked at Meng Yun, and said, "Meng Yun and Patrick must be brought in. The outside line needs Meng Yun's breakthrough and shooting ability, and the inside line needs Patrick's height."

"Even Meng Yun and Patrick will be difficult to fight." Derek looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "St. Joseph has already shown the attitude of playing in the knockout round, plus their own strength and experience, if Davidson College wants to make a comeback, I'm afraid it won't be that easy, not to mention Meng Yun and the others are still far behind.

In fact it is.

Although Davidson Academy was aggressive and fierce, the opponent was indeed very strong. Even if Meng Yun went up, it might not be able to change the situation.

More than a minute later, Meng Yun and Patrick played.

The game has entered the decisive time. Evan and Andy led the team to narrow the point difference to less than 10 points. Now they are still 9 points behind, and there are almost 5 minutes left in the game.

It is not easy to chase 5 points in 9 minutes, but there are opportunities. After Meng Yun came up, the Davidson College lineup became Patrick, Evan, Ronald, Andy, and Meng Yun.

Coming to the frontcourt, Meng Yun couldn't help frowning. At this time, St. Joseph University's defense became more and more fierce. Douglas rushed forward, murderous, and kept putting pressure on him.

Even if Meng Yun won't be disturbed by the other party, he will still be affected psychologically, and he has to be more careful in his actions, because he may make mistakes if he is not careful.

A mistake at this time can be fatal.

"Whoosh."

Meng Yun passed the ball to Evan. Evan played singles and was double-teamed by the opponent. Then he split the ball outside and passed it to Meng Yun again. Meng Yun suddenly scored and passed it to Ronald.

Ronald made a three-pointer, but the opponent's defense was in place and the attack was fierce, which interfered with Ronald. The ball failed to make the shot, Connor scored the rebound, and St. Joseph University counterattacked.

"The other party slowed down to waste time."

Meng Yun frowned. The opponent could have made a quick counterattack, but they didn't. Instead, they deliberately slowed down.

For Davidson College, time is also an enemy.

"Pounce on it." Evan also saw this and shouted loudly.

Meng Yunfei rushed forward and forced Douglas to pass the ball, while Andy and Ronald also rushed to the defenders, whoever got the ball would defend and oppress them, forcing them to transfer the ball.Since the opponent needs time, we can't let them spend time peacefully, put pressure on them, and force them to make mistakes as much as possible. Keep them out as much as possible.

If you can't get in, it's just a waste of time, and the threat is not that great.

St. Joseph University was not slow to react. It immediately saw the intention of Davidson College and gave the ball to Ferguson. After getting the ball, Ferguson didn't waste any time. He directly played singles, very resolutely, causing Evan to foul.

The time-consuming goal was unsuccessful, but Ferguson went to the free throw line and made two free throws, which is still not a good thing for Davidson College.

In the blink of an eye, another two minutes passed.

At this time, Davidson College was still 7 points behind, with only 1 minute and 47 seconds left in the game.

Mason Carr called a timeout and rearranged his tactics. While listening to the coach's tactics, Meng Yun looked at the St. Joseph University players and sighed inwardly: "As expected of the defending champions, even if our strength is enough to match them, but in terms of experience Still not as good as them. At critical times, experience can also determine the outcome of a game."

With more than a minute left and a 7-point difference, it can be said that Davidson College has lost.

They didn't lose in strength or poor performance, but in experience. As soon as St. Joseph University took the attitude of playing knockout, Davidson College immediately fell into a disadvantage, because Davidson College couldn't adapt for a while. The knockout experience is far less rich than that of St. Joseph's University.

In the last few minutes, Davidson College also lost to St. Joseph's University. Facing the crazy impact of Davidson College, St. Joseph's University played very calmly. Their purpose is very clear, which is to consume time and stay ahead. Winning Davidson College by more than ten points, but as long as the time runs out and they are still ahead, that's enough.

"Huh." Meng Yun let out a foul breath and clenched his fists. "Although there is only a little more than a minute left, the game is not over yet. We must play well every minute."

beep.
The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

Back on the field, Meng Yun advanced to the frontcourt, and his heart was shocked again. The opponent was really experienced, and the defense was wide open at this time. He just didn't give them three-pointers, and would rather let them break through and get two points.

With a secret sigh, Meng Yun speeded up in a disguised form, hitting the inside line and scoring a layup.

In this situation, it is very difficult to have a chance to shoot a three-pointer. Even if you can make a shot, there will be a lot of interference.It's just that if you advance like this, you will get two points, and time waits for no one. Relying on two points and two points to chase, the time may not be as good as it should be.

This is experience.

In the last minute or so, St. Joseph University was defending three-pointers and releasing two-pointers. On the offensive end, they also tried to consume as much time as possible and strive to score.Meng Yun scored a two-pointer, Andy scored a two-pointer, but St. Joseph University also scored one. Seeing that there was not enough time, and there were still 5 points in the gap, Meng Yun and the others could only implement foul tactics.

No miracles happen, foul play is just futile.

In the end, Davidson College lost the game 71:76.
