king of defenders

Chapter 295 Semifinals, vs University of Kentucky

Players from both sides have already appeared on the field, and the hustle and bustle has been quieted down.

The fans looked at the players on the field and whispered.

"It still feels like Kentucky is stronger. Looking at their lineup, Karl-Anthony Towns, Willie Cauley-Stein, and the Harrison brothers, Devin Booker is really too strong."

"This is the background of the giants, the lineup is really scary."

"Downs is a popular candidate for the No. [-] pick this year, and the probability of being elected No. [-] is very high."

"He is really good. He has great physical talent, a calm mind, a good basketball IQ, and he can play inside and out. I bet that when he enters the NBA, he will definitely grow into an All-Star player."

"The others are also good, Andrew Harris, Aaron Harris, Willie Cauley-Stein, Devin Booker, Lyles, Stein, they are also very strong."

As a veteran strong team and one of the representatives of the wealthy teams, the University of Kentucky is a legend in the history of the NCAA. They have won the NCAA championship 8 times, won the runner-up 4 times, entered the "Final Four" 17 times, and entered the "Final Four" 36 times. Into the "Elite Eight", 52 times shortlisted for the tournament, of which 47 times were finalized by the winner of the divisional regular season championship.

These honors are shining and dazzling.

Over the years, Kentucky has continued to send outstanding basketball players to the NBA, including Rajon Rondo, Jody Meeks, John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe, Patrick Patterson, Enes Kanter, Brandon Knight, Anthony Davis, Nerlens Noel, Julius Randle.
Some of these people have already gained fame in the NBA and became NBA All-Star players, such as Rajon Rondo, John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, and Anthony Davidson.

Kentucky's history is glorious, and regardless of history, their strength is now one of the best in the entire league. They have a group of outstanding players, and they have trained Derrick Rose, John Wall and other NBA All-Star players. Head coach John Calipari has mastered the game, and no amount of praise seems to be too much to give them.

It is worth mentioning that the name of the University of Kentucky basketball team is also called the "Wildcats", which is the same as the name of the Davidson College basketball team. In this season, this "Wildcats" won 36 consecutive victories. In other words, from the regular season to the championship, they have maintained a complete victory without a single loss.

This is kind of scary!

However, there are also some fans who are optimistic about Davidson College, because the dark horse of Davidson College is "dark enough", and it always surprises people along the way.

"Davidson College is not bad, especially Meng Yun and Evan, who are very strong."

"Yes, Meng Yun is too strong. It feels no worse than Curry back then. Especially since he entered the championship stage, he is almost like a cheater."

"I really want to see Davidson beat Kentucky, it's going to be a lot of fun."

In fact, there are quite a few people who support Davidson College, especially Chinese overseas students. Most of them choose to support Davidson College because Davidson College has Meng Yun.

These overseas Chinese students know NCAA better than people in China, and they also know how amazing Meng Yun is able to perform in NCAA, so they support Meng Yun from the bottom of their hearts.

Amidst the people's discussions, Curry got up and walked straight to Meng Yun.

"Meng Yun." Curry called.

Meng Yun was startled, trying to remain calm, and smiled slightly: "Hello, Curry."

Curry chuckled, opened his hands, and gave Meng Yun a hug, saying, "Fight well, I hope to see you win, reach the finals, and compete for the championship."

"En." Meng Yun nodded.

Afterwards, Curry also greeted Evan, Andy, etc. one by one, but they were all high fives, but they didn't give a hug like Meng Yun did.

Curry returned to his seat and the players warmed up.

The warm-up ended quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the sidelines.

"Let me talk about it." Mason Carr spread out the tactical board, while drawing tactics, said: "The opponent's inside line is very strong, there is Towns, there is Stein, there is Cauley-Stein, and Johnson, we have to be careful .Wait to shrink the defense a little bit, and quickly double-team the inside line.”

"In addition, you must keep up with people on the outside line, and don't miss people. Be careful of the Anderson brothers. Both of them are very strong, experienced, and cooperate with each other. They are not easy to deal with."

After finishing speaking, Mason Carlton paused, and then said: "On the offensive end, we still follow our usual style of play, but today we will start from the outside."

Everyone nodded and agreed in unison.

Not far away, University of Kentucky head coach John Calipari is also setting up.

The head coach who received the highest salary in the NCAA in 09 ($8 million in 3165 years) wore a suit and leather shoes, a striped tie, and combed his hair meticulously.It is said that he will be inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame this year, and the official news will be announced tomorrow. Perhaps because of this reason, he seems to be doing well, holding the tactical board, and said to his opponent: "I don't need to say more about offense, you guys I have always done a good job. I just want to emphasize one point, Towns, you have to play more proactively. The opponent's inside line does not have anyone who can match you. This is our advantage."

"Yes." Downs replied, looking very calm, not very old, but very mature.

Calipari is very satisfied with Towns. Among the many players he has trained, there are many All-Star insiders such as Anthony Davidson and DeMarcus Cousins. In his heart, Towns The next Anthony Davidson, or DeMarcus Cousins, is a future All-Star.

So for Towns, he just gave a warning, and then looked at the others: "We must pay attention to the perimeter defense, and we must guard against that Chinese kid, that is Meng." He did not underestimate Meng Yun, but was very solemn and emphasized Repeatedly, "He is very strong and a huge threat, so we have to limit him. If we can limit him, then we have won half the battle. Davidson College is not us, they rely too much on core players."

Calipari attaches great importance to Meng Yun, but he looks down on Davidson College, because Davidson College lacks the background of Kentucky and is just an "upstart".

What would Davidson College be without Meng Yun and Evan?
After the coaches of both sides set up, the flute sounded, and the game officially started.

Davidson College still has regular starters of Patrick, Evan, Ronald, Andy, and Meng Yun; the University of Kentucky's starting center is Karl-Anthony Towns, power forward is Stein, and small forward Andre Harry Adams, the shooting guard is Aaron Harris, and the point guard is Lyles.

The first is the jump ball. Towns bounced very well and reacted quickly. He slapped the ball to the backcourt. Lyles grabbed the ball and started to push.
