Chapter 2 The core of the two teams taking turns
The game time is coming soon.
After jumping the ball on both sides, the University of Connecticut gained the first attack. After dribbling through the midfield, their point guard immediately gave the ball to Okafor in the inside.
ncaa can play 35 seconds per offensive round. This guy can play the ball for more than 7 seconds after halftime. He has been so anxious to give the ball to Okafor, which shows the latter's position in this team and the determination to connecticut to play the inside in this game.
Of course, this is also normal. Georgia's inside line cannot be compared with the University of Connecticut, which has Okafor. The most basic tactical arrangement is to hit the weak point.
"Swish!"
Okafor was not ruthless at all when he got the ball. He directly scored strongly in the inside. Judging from his expression when he returned to defense, he could tell: he was at ease.
"This is Emecca. After playing in NCAA for three years, he has already had very mature inside-level strong ability." Bill Walton's partner Drexler praised Okafor's first goal, and then said, "Of course, what makes us feel more incredible than his offensive ability is his defensive ability. With him, it is difficult for Connecticut opponents to complete goals in their penalty area this season."
In his opinion, Okafor's defensive ability is more exaggerated than his offensive ability.
"Bang!"
Okafor then proved that what Drexler said was true, and ended the Georgia Tech offense with a block in the next round.
His teammates grabbed the block and waited for him to enter the penalty area of the University of Georgia and handed the ball to him again. Without any hesitation, he simply played hard again, and the ball rolled into the basket obediently again.
Scored again!
At this time, there was also a burst of exclamations at Okafor. No one expected that Okafor would play so strongly on both offense and defense as soon as the game began.
This guy is in such a good condition tonight!
Li Yuan’s fans couldn’t help but worry that in this era when the inside is king, Georgia and Connecticut have such a big gap, and the opponent’s inside form is so fast, it’s hard to play in this game!
Especially ncaa's offense time per round is longer, which makes the game slower. In this case, once a team takes the lead and wants to recover it, the difficulty will become very high.
The inside lineman who was completely suppressed and there was such a passive situation... At the beginning of this game, I was afraid that no one would have expected Georgia to have such a bad start.
What would Li Yuan do?
The fans subconsciously focused their attention on Li Yuan, hoping that Li Yuan could stand up at this time.
Li Yuan is the absolute core of Georgia Tech's team this year. When Okafor started the game, he naturally had to stand up.
Otherwise, it would always make people feel that the gap between him and Okafort would be obvious.
In that case, even if Georgia Tech finally won the championship, other fans, including those in Li Yuan, would always feel like something was almost there when they looked at it.
Of course, if Li Yuan cannot stand up, Georgia Tech will not be able to win today.
The inside line has been blown up like everything!
Li Yuan held the ball across the center line in everyone's eyes. He chose to break through the last round. The Connecticut No. 1 position against him did not interfere with him much, and he easily broke through. This time, the latter consciously pulled away from him.
Seeing him like this, Li Yuan chose to press forward, forcing the latter to continue to retreat in order to open his position. When he stepped into the three-point line, Li Yuan did not hesitate to jump the ball.
"Swish!"
The response to the players was quite timely and rushed forward to interfere, but because the gap between the two was too large, it had little impact on Li Yuan, and this long-distance mid-range shot was successfully hit.
There was a huge cheer immediately at the scene.
Before the start of this round, these fans were looking forward to this scene.
Bill Walton was slightly stunned when he heard these cheers. In order to ensure fairness, the NCAA Finals generally choose to play at the stadium that has nothing to do with the two teams in the Finals, which can make the fans who come to watch the football live not just supporters of one of them.
In this way, no matter which side of the game scores, there will be a loud enough cheer.
Every final of ncaa is held in such an audience atmosphere.
This year should not be an exception.
When Okafor scored the goal at the beginning, there were cheers on the sidelines, but compared with the cheers on the sidelines when Li Yuan scored this goal, some gaps could be heard.
This guy... actually gave the NCAA's finals stage a home and away game.
This is undoubtedly rare on the stage of the NCAA finals.
This little guy from China is really popular!
But it’s normal to think about it. Doesn’t Hollywood often publish such scripts? Now, when the story of this script actually happens in real life, Li Yuan, the protagonist of the story, naturally has to enjoy the attention like the protagonist.
Especially in the land of America where "everyone wants to be a unique guy".
This is even more so.
Even if Li Yuan was just a Chinese, Bruce Lee was also a Chinese back then, but this did not prevent every American from subconsciously imitating him to do a nose-wiping action when he mentioned Bruce Lee.
...
"Relax, guys, the game has just begun!"
Li Yuan, who hit the shot, returned to defense and shouted at his teammates.
It can be seen that he has a very good mentality. Okafor's strength did not make him anxious. This is probably why he was able to take a little calmness in the goal he just hit.
This scene made Bill Walton nodded repeatedly. His partner Drexler was the main force to win Okafor tonight, so he would naturally be the main force to win Li Yuan.
So he said bluntly: "Li is very stunning as a core player and he is comforting his teammates."
This action seems simple, but if you really want to achieve the effect, the players who speak out can make other players feel trusted.
The University of Georgia double-teamed Okafor in the inside in the next round, which made the latter fail to get the ball on the offensive end. After a long time of procrastination, the outside player in Connecticut had to choose to take action. With a "bang", the ball went out of the basket and was protected by the University of Georgia's inside.
This is a defensive change, and it can be seen from the execution of Georgia University players on the court that their mentality is very positive.
From this we can see that Li Yuan's comforting effect is of some effect.
Georgia has a chance to equalize the score.
Li Yuan made an attack, but this time he didn't hesitate anymore, and he still took the ball and attacked by himself.
Connecticut also adjusted its defensive arrangement for Li Yuan this round. The Connecticut No. 1 position, which had just opened its position to defend Li Yuan from breaking through, pounced on this time.
Such a straightforward attitude made Li Yuan unconsciously raise his eyes and look at Connecticut's inside line. Sure enough, Okafor's position was higher than usual.
This is the rhythm of trying to make up for defense!
However, Li Yuan did not choose to call his teammates to come up and respond, but instead used the trick and chose a direct breakthrough along the right side of the match.
But before Okafor pounced, his dribble pulled the ball behind him and made a tendency to swing the ball towards the outside line. This action made Okafor stop subconsciously.
But at this moment, Li Yuan took a big step behind him, and then a "monkey catching the moon" put the ball into the basket with one hand.
During this process, Okafor didn't dare to move because he was close to Li Yuan. He now acted like a "body violation foul". Although he knew in his heart that he had been fooled and this was a "fake fax shot", he could only watch Li Yuan let the basket into the basket.
"Swish!"
With the crisp sound of the ball rubbing against the net, the two teams tied.
Li Yuan's two consecutive matches also made a huge cheer sound at the scene again.
"This kid is a bit interesting!"
Drexler's eyes were also lit up when he saw this goal. He was also one of the best shooting guards in the league back then. He naturally had no need to say more about his ability on the offensive end. Because he was an expert, he could better see the spirituality of Li Yuan's ball.
"And this guy has good physical fitness! Even if he is in the NBA, he should have a medium-to-high level!" Bill Walton commented.
After passing the match in one step, this is a manifestation of explosive power; when leaning against Okafor, his hands are coherent, but his body is not shaken at all, this is a manifestation of balance power; at the same time, after contacting Okafor, his movements are not deformed at all and are extremely relaxed, which is a manifestation of body coordination and strength.
With just this ball, you can see that although Li Yuan's physical condition is not amazing at first glance, it can be considered much better than ordinary NBA players.
This is actually very important!
Because this means that even if Li Yuan goes to the more competitive NBA, he still has enough physical capital to do the actions he is doing now.
Chapter completed!
