king of defenders

Chapter 296
The game started, and the University of Kentucky went on offense.

Lyles advanced to the front court, glanced at Meng Yun who was coming forward, and gestured to his teammates.Everyone pulled apart to withdraw the defense line of Davidson College as much as possible.

Towns asked for the ball in the low post on the left, and Lyles passed it.

Kentucky's inside line is their advantage. With Towns as the top pick, power forward Stein is also good. Head coach Calipari also explained that they should play more inside lines.

"Hmph." Patrick snorted coldly, and stuck forward.

Downs is a favorite in the draft and has a good reputation. Patrick is still very pressured to face him. Patrick cheers up and responds with confidence and caution.

Taking the ball, Towns took a look at the surrounding situation, and then decisively played singles, leaning on Patrick with his back to hit the inside line. His physical fitness is very good, but Patrick is not at a disadvantage in terms of strength.Pushing back a little, Downs already understood that it was not realistic to rely on strength to force him, but he was not the kind of stupid big man with well-developed limbs and rough skills.

Carrying back again, Towns suddenly turned halfway around and raised the ball high.

"Go to hell!" Patrick still couldn't hold his breath. He was already under pressure to face Downs, and he desperately wanted to show Downs a little color, so as to regain his psychological balance.Under this trend of mentality, he seemed a little impatient. When he saw Towns turn around and lift the ball up, he subconsciously jumped up.

Seeing Patrick jump up, Downs smiled secretly, took back the raised ball, then kept his pivot foot still, turned his body 180 degrees, avoided Patrick, and picked a basket.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

Patrick landed, looking gloomy.

Downs glanced at Patrick, curled his lips and said, "Sure enough, he's a simple-minded fool who jumps as soon as he cheats. Heh, it's so simple." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

Staring at Downs' back, Patrick's face was ugly.

Evan patted him and comforted him: "It's okay, it's just a ball."

"I'll avenge you later." Meng Yun also said.

Patrick grinned and grinned, and Davidson College fought back.

Meng Yun quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Andy. They ran quickly and tore apart the opponent's defense, but the effect was not good.Kentucky's defense isn't as freaky as Arizona's, but it's not bad either.It is unrealistic for Davidson College to create opportunities by simply passing the ball and running positions.

"At this stage, no team will be weak." Meng Yun took the situation on the field into his eyes, secretly awe-inspiring, "What's more, this is Kentucky."

The ball returned to Meng Yun's hands. Most of the 30-second attack time had passed. Meng Yun was just about to play by himself when he saw Evan asking for the ball in the low post. He held Stein with one hand and raised the other.

Meng Yun glanced at the inside line with some concern, but passed the ball anyway.

The opponent's inside line has an advantage, but Davidson College can't be timid before a fight. The coach's order is to play the outside line, but it can't completely give up the inside line. At least Evan is not necessarily inferior to Stein.

Evan also had the same idea, so when he saw his teammates running and covering and failed to find a chance, he opened his hand to ask for the ball. When Meng Yun passed the ball, he turned around halfway and changed from the back basket to the face frame. , Stein's physical fitness is very good, and there is Downs watching behind him, and he is not sure about digging into Evan with his back.

But like Downs, Evan is not a stupid big man who only relies on his body.

"laugh!"

Taking a tentative step with his right foot, Stein swayed and retreated subconsciously. Evan quickly pulled out, leaning back a little, lifted the ball, and flicked his wrist.

Stein was caught off guard, and although his reaction was not slow, it could only be helpless.

Swish!
This is a hit, a precise hit, rewriting the score to 2:2.

In a blink of an eye, 3 minutes passed in the first half.

In these 3 minutes, Meng Yun only took one shot. He made a three-pointer, but failed to hit it. However, Patrick got the rebound. Unfortunately, the tip was blocked by Towns and the ball flew out.

Patrick's face became ugly after being deflated by Downs.

Fortunately, Evan is in good condition. The University of Kentucky has Towns, and Davidson College also has Evan.Contrary to Mason Carr's expectations, the players were originally allowed to play from the outside. As a result, after Evan scored a goal at the beginning, he felt completely up. Enter.

Then there was Evan, who went to the inside after passing Stein. Although he failed to score, he caused a foul by Towns who rushed to defend. Evan walked to the free throw line and made two free throws.

In 3 minutes, Evan scored 5 points alone.

In addition, Meng Yun broke through and scored the ball once, assisting Andy to hit a mid-range.

In these 3 minutes, Davidson College played pretty well, scoring a total of 7 points, Towns scored 4 points at the University of Kentucky, and Andrew Harrison hit a three-pointer, a total of 7 points.

7:7, the two sides were evenly matched.

"Evan is in a good state today." Tina said with a smile sitting in the audience, with Jimmy beside her, and Jimmy's parents in the past.

The four people's seats are relatively front, although not as good as Guo Shuyao and Guo Hai (their seats were arranged by Mason Carr), but they are also relatively front, that is, the first few rows.

Tickets for such seats are not cheap, at least several thousand dollars per ticket.

It was the first time for Jimmy to sit so close to watch the ncaa semi-finals. Well, it was actually the first time for him to watch the ncaa semi-finals live. Looking at his girlfriend and parents, Jimmy felt "comfortable" , very satisfied, smiled and said: "I'll just say, so what about the University of Kentucky? Kill them all the same."

Tina just laughed and gave Jimmy a supercilious look. This guy loves to brag, as if beating the University of Kentucky is all you have to say.

Perhaps God also felt that Jimmy was a little drifting, so he didn't give him face. The situation on the court changed rapidly. The head coach of the University of Kentucky, Calipari, replaced Stein with Willie Cauley-Stein, and even sacrificed the twin towers.Towns is 211 cm tall and Willie Cauley-Stein is 213 cm tall. Standing under the basket is like two defensive iron gates.

Facing the Twin Towers, Patrick's sense of presence was further reduced, and he was almost useless. Not to mention the offense, but it was hard to do anything. Even in rebounding, he almost disappeared.

And Evan also suddenly felt the pressure doubled. Willie Cauley-Stein is not Stein. Maybe he may not be better than Stein on offense, but he is far better than Stein on defense.

When Evan failed to attack twice in a row, everyone knew that Davidson College had completely fallen into a disadvantage in the internal battle between the two sides.
