Chapter 268 Really Strong
Swish!
The goal was scored, and the University of Virginia scored two points first.

The Wildcats counterattacked, Meng Yun quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and immediately felt the pressure of the opponent's defense. The University of Virginia did not have an "ace player" because each of them was very strong and balanced, not only reflected in the offense, but also in the field. On the defensive end, they also did a very good job. They rotated and changed positions, supplemented defense and assisted defense very quickly, and cooperated with each other tacitly.

Meng Yun had already passed the ball, but the Wildcats still couldn't find a good chance after moving the ball several times. In the end, the ball was given to Evan. Evan singled out and failed to score.

It's just the first round, so it's nothing.

But after playing 3 minutes in the first half, many people saw the clues.

These 3 minutes passed quickly, neither side fouled, you come and go, the rhythm is very fast, the University of Virginia played very smoothly, blossomed more, and was orderly.Davidson College, on the other hand, seemed to be struggling a bit. The offensive efficiency was not high, and the defensive end was also difficult to defend. They only played for 3 minutes, but were beaten 7:2 by the opponent.

The only two points were the cooperation between Meng Yun and Evan, and Evan made a counter-run and cut layup.

"Sure enough, the University of Virginia is much stronger."

"The strength of the University of Virginia is balanced. Although no one can score more than [-] points in a game like Meng, it is because they are all very strong, and they each share the number of shots and points, so no one's statistics are particularly brilliant. But in fact, The University of Virginia's players are not necessarily worse than Meng."

"Yes, Davidson College is not weaker in Meng and Evan, but not in other points. It is difficult for others to help them. Against a team like University of Virginia, they are too weak. It's a loss."

People were discussing, and there was a lot of noise.

Jefferson and Popovich looked at each other and nodded. Other fans could see it, and they could easily see it too. In the championship stage, the Wildcats' lack of foundation is the biggest flaw.

Maybe other players can perform well in the regular season, but on this stage, the opponent's level is higher. Except for Meng Yun and Evan, the performance of others will be unstable.

On the field.

"The number one seed is really strong, and today's game is not easy to play." Meng Yun observed for 3 minutes, and had an intuitive understanding of the strength of the University of Virginia, and he couldn't help feeling awe-inspiring.He looked at Evan, and the two exchanged a look. Then Meng Yun took the ball from the baseline and quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and then Evan came up to help him pick and roll.

The next moment, Meng Yun moved a step to the side, but instead of going inside, he withdrew to outside the three-point line, and before the defender could pounce, he raised his hand and made a three-point shot.

boom!
The goal missed, but also surprised the University of Virginia.

"rebound."

"Grab it."

People shouted that University of Virginia center Court and power forward Max stood in the three-second zone, and the two jumped up at the same time, trying to get the rebound.But at this moment, a figure came from behind, jumped up, grabbed the rebound first, and quickly threw it to Meng Yun who was outside.

Surprised, Kurt and Max turned their heads to look—it turned out to be Evan.

At the same time, with a bang, the Nets rolled over, and Meng Yun made another three-pointer, still decisive and straightforward, without the slightest hesitation. Unlike the last one, this time he scored.

"nice shot."

In the audience, Jimmy yelled and cheered excitedly.

Coach Popovich also couldn't help nodding, and praised: "This ball is played well. At this time, someone needs to stand up and score. Meng Yun or Evan, they are both good."

"Yeah." Jefferson looked at Meng Yun, then at Evan, and said with a smile, "Evan has improved a lot this season. According to his current state, it shouldn't be a big problem to advance to the second round."

Evan's improvement this season is obvious to all, but because Meng Yun's progress is too fast, it can be called "perverted", covering up Evan's light, but to be honest, with Evan's current performance, is it a problem to enter the second round of the draft? big.

Of course, in order to steadily enter the second round, the Wildcats need to continue to go on, so that he has enough opportunities to show himself, do better and perform more stably.

Meng Yun's three-pointer boosted morale and inspired the Wildcats players.

In the following time, Meng Yun and Evan still played very proactively, attracting the opponent's defense, while Andy, Ronald, and Patrick also began to make achievements, which were not bad on the offensive end, at least in Meng Yun and When Evan created a good chance, some must-go goals were scored.

As a result, the point difference did not widen further.

When 6 minutes into the first half, the University of Virginia began to adjust the lineup. They called a timeout and rearranged their tactics.

For the Wildcats, Mason Carr also adjusted the lineup, replacing Patrick and Ronald, and ordered: "Our offense is like this, but we must pay attention to defense."

"Yes."

"clear."

Several people responded.

Meng Yun looked at Mason Carr, and suddenly felt a move in his heart: "Yes, no wonder the coach told him so. Our defense is a problem, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to restrain the opponent."

in the audience.

Nicole and Xiang Long sat together. She looked at the field and said excitedly: "12:9, Davidson College is only 3 points behind. It doesn't look like the gap is that big."

Xiang Long shook his head. Seeing Nicole staring at him suspiciously, he still explained: "That's not the case. The point difference is not too big because Davidson College's offense is not good. But the problem is that they can't defend against each other. It can be defended, but others can't. Because they can't defend, even if Davidson College plays a good offense, it can only ensure that the point difference will not be too big, and it is extremely difficult to overtake."

"Is that so?" Nicole frowned, thought for a while, and nodded, "It seems to be." After all, she is also a player in the school's women's basketball team, and her vision may not be high, but when Xiang Long said this, she understood.

Sure enough, the subsequent development of the game was just as Xiang Long said.

Davidson College relied on Meng Yun and Evan's revitalization. Meng Yun's exquisite passing created many opportunities for his teammates. In addition, Meng Yun and Evan also scored, and the offense was not bad.

But in terms of defense, Davidson College is obviously one level behind. The defense of the University of Virginia has limited Davidson College's offense to a certain extent. If it weren't for Meng Yun and Evan, Andy and others would not be able to score.But Davidson College's defense can't limit the opponent, always allowing the opponent to attack easily.

The result of this is that Davidson College managed to score a goal, and the opponent was able to retaliate easily when they turned around. Although the point difference seemed small, Davidson College was always suppressed and it was difficult to turn around.
