Chapter 11 The Strongest Sniper
Two weeks after the league began, who is the most popular team in the NCAA? Anyone who asks any ten people may get the same answer, Missouri and Missouri University basketball teams. They won the quarterfinals with a record of complete victory in the preseason, and joined forces with Duke to create an unprecedented offensive classic battle. Four official league games were officially matched, and each game was uniformed by a score of over 100.
Missouri is so popular that it is. Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, Connecticut, these teams that are also popular in the championship can only become supporting roles at this time. Fans across the United States are paying attention to this team famous for their rapid progress and exciting offense. All teams are paying close attention to the Missouri game process, and all media are paying attention to the performance of the Missouri Trident. It is wonderful and exciting. In addition to the exciting suspense of the victory or defeat, there is no shortage of any exciting games in Missouri.
The media comments are "Watching Missouri games is like watching a performance. You just want to appreciate the exciting goals and you don't have to worry about the results of the game. The results of the game are really not a suspense." "Missouri is a team that turns the game into a performance."
The reputation of Missouri Trident is even more rising in spring. The media quoted: "I believe that if they can continue to have such momentum, they will be tied with the Michigan Five Tigers at this time next year and become the greatest combination in NCAA history and enter the history of the NCAA."
Of course, there are many people who don’t like Missouri’s voice. Due to repeated media praise, Missouri has almost pushed it to the position of “public enemy of the United States”. In the 12th National League, all the opponents that will encounter in Missouri have no different hatred and vowed to snipe Missouri. In fact, the teams called out publicly at the end of the preseason.
As Smith had expected before, under the idea of "winning can lead to a happy defeat, but not to be cherished", Missouri's opponents usually play very relaxed and hard, and can always cause enough trouble for Missouri.
Of course, since it is not necessary to win, and even lose is reasonable, the idea of sniping teams are not trying their best. The bayonets are popular and sniping are usually too big after three quarters of the game and there are no more chances of victory, these opponents will no longer make unnecessary efforts. The fourth quarter is usually the performance time for both substitutes. After all, it is not cost-effective to try all your strength for a game without any chance, or even lose your own players. They also have to have other games to play, and they have to work hard to be qualified for the semi-finals of the playoffs.
The three-quarter game time determines the outcome, which is basically the rule of the game Missouri participates. Smith is not an incompetent person. Since he already knows the departure of his team, it is naturally impossible to be without any action. Smith's action is: risk the possibility of failure and let go of the team's lineup tactics.
Trident Chen Junhao, Anthony and Kaman usually have about thirty minutes on the field, which is enough for them to win themselves a beautiful technical data. However, Trident's time at the same time is suppressed within fifteen minutes under Smith's control.
Smith intends to create the ability of his three favorite players to be the only one, and also to give his team's substitutes the opportunity to hone his team. In the fight with Duke, Smith's bench depth is not enough, otherwise with the performance of the trident, Missouri should easily win the opponent during normal game time.
Sometimes the performance of the substitute is enough to determine the outcome of the game.
In Smith's lineup combination, it is often seen that two Trident players sit on the bench, with one remaining leading four role players (Mario and Pierce) and substitutes, or two in Trident lead three substitutes to compete.
In the former lineup (one of the Tridents played), the team's combat power was undoubtedly the strongest when Chen Junhao was on the court. As a guard, Chen Junhao could make his teammates perform better. Mario, Pierce, and even a first-year rookie, the substitutes who are rarely outstanding can also have dazzling performances under the outstanding organization of the Young Emperor. "Boom!", "Boom!" Such a powerful shot into the basket, as if they were NCAA's star players.
The first scene when Anthony and Carman lead the way is another scenario, "Boom!", "Boom!" The people who complete the dunk are Anthony and Carman themselves. As pure offensive players, they are good at guiding the team's prospects with their own strong offense. Integrating the entire team to organize offense has never been their expertise.
There is no doubt that a discerning person can see at a glance that Missouri was the strongest in combat when Chen Junhao was present. After a few games, the Chinese media played the title of the report "The handsome Chen Junhao, the talented general Anthony, Kaman!". In the eyes of the Chinese people, his young emperor is the veritable Missouri ace.
After reading such reports, Chen Junhao, Anthony and Kaman, they all laughed at each other and then left behind. How could the media understand the thoughts of the Tridents themselves?
After the comparison effect came out, Smith quickly abandoned the lineup led by Anthony and Carman. If Missouri wants to maintain enough deterrence against his opponent, at least two tridents must be present at the same time. Anthony and Carman have been together for many years. The tacit understanding and cooperation routines between each other cannot be curbed by the opponent strengthening their defense. With these two people on the court, the general opponent is no longer enough to pose a threat to Missouri. This can basically ensure that Missouri is invincible.
With such a foundation, Smith can boldly let go and build his own bench player. Chen Junhao leads the lineup and becomes the signboard for Missouri to train new players and substitutes. Under Chen Junhao's leadership, substitutes and role players take turns to appear. With the assistance of Chen Junhao, the super point guard, every substitute who appears can perform well. The biggest gain is Mario. Chen Junhao seems to be interested in cultivating his future partners, obviously creating more opportunities for performance for him.
With Chen Junhao's strong assistance, Mario led the rookie list in the 12 major leagues, and in the NCAA it is also catching up with Duke's Robert, Boggins, Peter Pavaro of North Carolina and others. It must be known that North Carolina is a team with new players as the starting lineup. Peter Pavaro and others have the status of the team, and their chances in the game are completely incomparable to Mario.
Holding a star strategy and relying on the combination of Chen Junhao, Anthony and Kaman's trident to create a sky, the bench players have the most time to play among many strong teams. The core players of the Trident are shining, while the role players and bench players are also shining with stars. This is really an incredible thing.
In the third week after the league began, Missouri met the University of Texas, away.
The University of Texas is a strong team in the Big 12 leagues, and is also a well-known strong team in the NCAA. It is a regular visitor to the semi-finals of 64 every year. The record in the past ten years is beyond the reach of Missouri. The NBA's mid-sized teams Mavericks and Rockets are Texas teams. The depth of Texas basketball is incomparable to Missouri. As a representative of the University of Texas team, the strength of the University of Texas is unquestionable. Last year's sixteen teams added strong new players this year. The University of Texas intends to show its strength in the semi-finals of 64 in March next year and make another breakthrough on the quarterfinals of 16.
Missouri finally met a strong sniper opponent. Can Missouri be as relaxed as before this time? The whole United States is paying attention to this game, and tens of millions of Chinese fans staying up late to pay attention to this game on the other side of the earth.
There is no suspense in the starting lineup of both sides. Missouri, as usual, started with Mario and Pierce. The starting lineup of the University of Texas is: center Daniels, power forward Davis, small forward Dikao, shooting guard Erie, and point guard Frances. Both sides have the strongest lineup. Third-year Davis is the ace of the University of Texas, and center Daniels shooting guard Erie, the three are the main scorers of the University of Texas. Francis in the point guard position is this year's new player, and squeezing the main third-year senior back to the bench last year shows his skill, but his opponent today is Chen Junhao, who is known as the "Missouri Brain", and the NCAA's top top expert, so the point guard position is the most worrying position for Texas fans.
In fact, the progress of the game really proves that the Texans' concerns are very correct.
"Bang!" The basketball controlled by Francis suddenly flew out of his hand, and another "Bang!" bounced up. At the same time, a gust of wind blew across the figure in front of him, and his opponent Chen Junhao's figure was already chasing him like a wind.
Fast, so fast that the phantom is generally unreal.
Francis, who intercepted the ball, seemed to be stunned and stood there in a daze. The other defenders quickly returned to the defense and rushed back to the defensive position as soon as possible.
What a fast speed to return to defense!
"Bapapapa..." Chen Junhao's dribbling speed did not decrease at all. The dribbling figure suddenly flashed with the storm sound of dribbling, and a defensive opponent flashed. The swaying sounded and the Dezhou inside was in chaos. The Dezhou defensive player who was poisoned by Chen Junhao made a secret heartbroken this time: he would not succeed even if he committed a foul.
Just as he made up his mind, "Swoosh!" The white light flashed rapidly in Chen Junhao's basketball in his hand had already penetrated through the crack and penetrated into the basket. A white figure suddenly rushed out of the basket, received the ball, took the step and turned around. The basketball in his hand raised, "Swoosh, Swish!" He easily shot under the basket and the ball entered!
Anthony!
The cooperation of the trident is always so exquisite.
"Shit!" Davis was full of punches and hated the thick protection of the ball frame. Until now, they have not been able to effectively suppress the trident.
The offense and defense are transferred.
Francis stabilized his emotions and controlled the ball steadily. The other four Texas players quickly penetrated into Missouri's defensive lineup as mercury was pouring out. They moved quickly and kept covering each other's running. It has to be said that the University of Texas is indeed a veritable strong team. Missouri's defense has improved a lot, but in the face of such mobile covers, Anthony and others can only keep their positions, keep their eyes on people, and double-teams? That is absolutely impossible.
On the outside, one-on-one, Chen Junhao defended Frances.
Do you want to break through? Breakthrough Chen Junhao? Do you have this confidence? Francis has not yet made any moves, and huge question marks have already risen in the minds of Texas fans.
"Bang!" The last sound of the basketball bounced up, and Francis held his hands in his hands - he did not break through! His left foot was the axis, and he held the ball with both hands and turned left and right. Suddenly, the forward of the inside line, Dikao rushed out, and when his figures were intertwined, the basketball was handed to Dikao. Francis held a pick-and-roll cover, Dikao stopped suddenly and jumped up to shoot!
The basketball flew in an arc outside the three-point line towards the basket.
Chen Junhao's eyes glanced at the basketball and shouted: "Mac, be careful of air relay!" As soon as he finished speaking, Kaman reacted especially when a figure in the basket was around the bottom line and rose up, jumped high in the air, and his right hand raised in the air to forcefully turn the ball around and pressed heavily into the basket.
Davis!
"Boom!" The cheers in the stadium were shaking the earth.
This is the strong team, and the counterattack of Texas University is no less than that.
"Yse!" Davis shook his arm and clenched his fists tightly. He was also very satisfied with the goal. The players from the University of Texas also hugged and slapped Davis to celebrate.
The opponent celebrates, and as the defensive side, there is no good mood. Especially when Kaman gives the opponent a relay in the air above his head, he looks even more upset. Davis is the new power forward with the figure of a power forward, small forward speed and bounce. Kaman is inferior to his opponent in speed and bounce. Once the opponent pulls the distance and shoots from far and close outside the penalty area, Kaman's defense is very embarrassing - whether to save and defend. So although Kaman's offense is still very outstanding in this game, the defense is relatively failures, and he succeeds in attacking the opponent again and again. As the backbone of the inside defense, Kaman can be regarded as a frustrated person in this game.
Chen Junhao, who was watching from all directions on the court, naturally would not notice the expressions of his teammates. He stepped forward and hugged Carman's shoulders and whispered in his ear: "Did you notice it? Davis is the kind of opponent who is very passionate in playing basketball and cannot be blocked once it gets passionate. The best way to defend such a player is to drive him out of the field. I think you should be very experienced in this kind of thing.
Kaman stared straight at Chen Junhao and said, "I don't know that you are so sinister!" Suddenly, he changed into a smile, "But I like it!"
Chen Junhao smiled and said, "If you need help, just say it. I'm right behind you!"
