039: David is on the move(1/2)

Nate Robinson and Bobby Jones are very depressed because they originally wanted to cause trouble in the March Madness tournament, but now they are playing extremely embarrassingly.

Jones, in particular, was knocked down by Wayne with the ball right from the start, and he just made a three-pointer, which was a national embarrassment.

After the Cowboys took a 9-point lead, the Huskies' morale hit rock bottom.

But Lorenzo Romar's timeout just now gave the Huskies confidence again.

Next, they will use their best method to launch a fierce attack on the Cowboys' position.

In the play-offs, they defeated their opponents in this way and finally made it to the top 64.

Everyone believes that the same method can get them into the top 32.

Lorenzo Romar looked serious because this was almost the Huskies' last chance.

If this wave fails, the entire game will be sealed.

On the other side, Old Sutton looked relaxed. Wayne's next performance will definitely make Las Vegas party all night long!

After the game restarted, Nate Robinson handed the ball to Roy just after halftime.

At this time, the No. 3 Husky is the University of Washington's real point guard on the court.

When Roy got the ball, the other four members of the Huskies team were not idle either. They kept covering each other and running.

And running is mostly based on cutting in and interspersing.

The entire team is like a precise instrument, with every component acting according to Romar's arrangements.

Sutton said before the game that the University of Washington is a team-oriented team, and their average assists per game ranks first in the Pacific Ten Conference.

Therefore, active movement without the ball and patient passing of the ball are their style.

This is also their last life-saving straw.

As a combo guard with excellent organizational skills, Roy passed the ball to Robinson who reached the mid-range at the right time.

After receiving the ball, Robinson used a screen to break through. At this time, the Huskies seemed to be a tight whole, not five separate individuals.

After Robinson rushed into the three-second zone, he attracted Wayne to move forward two steps and saw that he was already able to attack the frame.

But this time he was not reckless. Instead, after attracting Wayne's attention, he made another pass and sent the ball to Bobby Jones who was cutting along the baseline!

"Beautiful passing ball, the Huskies' patient passing is always able to tear apart the opponent's defense."

Under the praise of the on-site commentator, Romar waved his arms.

His tactics really worked!

Now, Bobby Jones only needs to dunk easily...

Eh!?

Seeing the basketball in Bobby Jones's hand being pushed directly onto the backboard by Wayne, Romar was petrified.

Didn't Nate Robinson fish out Wayne just now? Why did he get caught again!?

Jones was also very aggrieved. Why was it so difficult for him to score a point today?

This No. 11 is like a ghost, lingering under the basket.

Wayne was also surprised because he didn't expect that Nate Robinson and Jones would actually join forces to give him a big gift.

Wayne was a little nervous just now when he saw Robinson rushing in.

Because at the beginning of the game, Robinson's high throw and layup still left Wayne with lingering fears.

Unexpectedly, Robinson didn't go up himself, so he passed the ball to Jones, a fool.

Wayne followed Sutton's request and couldn't get out of the three-second zone.

Sure enough, after stepping back a little, Jones appeared again.

After Wayne completed the block, his eyes met with Jones's.

This young man seems to be quite smart, but he always does some incredible things.

In fact, Jones is not to blame for this goal. It was even the most reasonable goal he ever played in today's game.

But...he never expected that the Cowboys would immediately use a zone defense to restrain the Huskies' best cut-in style!

Since it is a zone defense, it means Wayne will be guarding the basket all the time.

So Robinson didn't actually completely attract Wayne away just now. Old Sutton's strategy of letting Wayne stick to the basket was very effective.

Romar fell back to the bench. Eddie Sutton, the four-time NCAA Coach of the Year, lived up to his reputation.

He felt ashamedly that he was naked and was being seen by Sutton.

In the timeout just now, Sutton Sr. had completely predicted the changes he would make and had come up with countermeasures in advance.

The biggest advantage of zone defense is that it can squeeze as much offensive space as possible.

Although this will lead to gaps at the top of the arc and the two bottom corners, with the Huskies' shooting level, what if you just miss it to him?

In addition, the NCAA does not have a three-second defensive rule, which makes this a hotbed for zone defense.

Although the NBA also began to allow zone defense in 2001, due to the restriction of the three-second defensive rule and everyone's shooting accuracy, zone defenses are easily penetrated.

Therefore, the most commonly used defense is basically man-to-man defense.

Zone defense is only used occasionally to achieve miraculous results.

Under NCAA rules, zone defense is simply a weapon to limit the Huskies!

Among the Cowboys' zone defense, the one with the most opportunities to perform is Wayne, who is guarding the three-second zone.

Sean now knew why Sutton had just asked about the shot-blocking record.

Because if the Huskies continue to execute the original plan...then Wayne's block number today will definitely be quite exaggerated!

"The Cowboys started playing zone defense, and they won." In Bird's office, Reggie Miller shrugged, having lost interest in the game.

"It's still early for the game to end, Reggie." Artest lay in front of the TV, wanting to continue watching.

"Sometimes, even if there are only 9 seconds left in the game, there may be variables.

But sometimes, even if there are dozens of minutes left in the game, nothing will change.

Today's game belongs to the latter situation. Let's get here first today, Larry, I'm going home first."

Miller stood up and straightened his clothes.

Artest looked at Miller speechlessly, Ma Dan never forgetting to show off during the entire game.

I know you were so good at those 9 seconds and 8 minutes back then, so I have to hold back and say it.

Just like Bird!

"Well, then you can go back first, Reggie. What do you think? This is a Chinese student named Wayne."

"It's interesting. Let's take a look." Miller waved his hand, not particularly concerned.

Miller, who has entered the end of his career, can only think about the championship. As for which rookie to choose this summer... Judging from the picks that the Pacers can obtain, there is actually no difference in who they choose.

After watching Miller leave, Bird turned his attention to Artest again: "What about you? Do you want to continue watching?"

"Of course, I have nothing to do tonight." Artest waved his hand and continued to lie in front of the TV.

Bird was speechless at this uninvited "guest".

But that's fine, at least tonight, he doesn't have to worry about this guy causing trouble for him off the court.

When Bird turned his attention to the TV set again, the TV screen just happened to display Wayne's statistics so far.

In the block column, the number has changed to 3.

"This..." Bird was shocked. How long had he left his eyes before Wayne covered him again?

Eddie Sutton's zone defense was specially prepared for Wayne to take risks!

However, it is not the zone defense that really makes Wayne's shot-blocking data rise rapidly, but the two spring players Robinson and Jones.

They broke away from the defense again and again and cut into the penalty area again and again.

But no matter what they do, Wayne will always be waiting for them under the basket and never give up.

This was the first time Wayne discovered how enjoyable it was to defend in a pit.

There is no need to help defend, no need to compete with your opponent, no need to go out to save the opponent's shots, you only need to stick to the basket!

It's so sour and refreshing, no wonder Canby will be addicted to it in the future.

At this moment, Nate Robinson once again took advantage of the off-ball screen and stabbed in diagonally, and Roy's pass was just right.

But seeing Wayne under the basket, Robinson did not directly choose to attack. Instead, he jumped up and floated under the basket, preparing for an extreme pull.

Robinson's airtime and gliding distance were both amazing, and then...

Wayne used his tofu-high bounce to slap away Robinson's basketball dream.

The first person in the NCAA in blocked shots on the floor is none other than Wayne.

Wayne even wondered if he had built in a special move called "Duncan blocks shots on the spot".
To be continued...
