Chapter 17 Defence riddled with holes
Frank Irving Center, about 7,000 fans filled the stands behind the technical stands, and before the game began, they kept singing the University of Texas school songs.
The game against Georgetown is about to begin, and in the pre-match locker room, Rick Barnes asked everyone to focus and win the game.
"As long as we win this game, we will have a good chance of achieving a complete victory in the preseason in the new season!"
Since yesterday afternoon, the video of Jeff Green failed to temporarily search for Jeff Green, Li Ke has specially asked for a schedule and probably reviewed it.
So he first understood what Rick Barnes meant. After playing Georgetown, the remaining opponents were not worth worrying.
Although there is a possibility of a failure, as a powerful force in the major league, he still has this confidence in the face of weak teams in the minor league.
Walking out of the player channel, there were fans shouting their names in his ears. Li Ke turned his head, smiled, and waved his hand.
"Sheldon, you'll be guarding against Jeff Green in this game, right?"
"Yes, I will!"
Jeff Green, who had arrived earlier to warm up, seemed to have heard this conversation, and his eyes were staring at Li Ke from a distance.
Li Ke felt this gaze, he turned his head and looked at Jeff Green directly.
"This guy looks a little thin, but he is half a head taller than me."
Unlike the fake six-foot-nine Durant, Jeff Green is the real six-foot-nine, which seems to be half a head taller than Li Ke, which is completely different from Durant being a whole head taller than Li Ke.
"The only problem is height."
Li Ke has already thought of the next defensive strategy based on Rick Barnes's evaluation of Jeff Green and his first impression of Jeff Green.
But when the game started, Li Ke realized that he had misjudged Jeff Green's power.
"The game started, at Georgetown University, Jonathan Wallace handed the ball to Jeff Green..."
Shortly after the opening, Georgetown University made a run and the ball was in Jeff Green's hands.
Li Ke, who was half a head short, blocked him, raised his right arm and blocked Jeff Green's face.
Jeff Green turned sideways, took the ball halfway, and turned his head to look for the basket.
Rick Barnes once said that Jeff Green is a master of his back, but at the same time, his face frame is also very threatening.
This means that once Jeff Green starts from the back frame, he has many possibilities.
It may be a direct back turn and shooting, or a back turn and break through, receive a quick stop jump shot, or add a step back, or rush to the basket and layup...
Li Ke's height is a disadvantage and his arm span is not enough. He dared not to distance himself, so he could only continue to stick to Jeff Green, and turned his back to shoot.
For other possibilities, he can only rely on his own strength and speed.
Jeff Green seemed to see Li Ke’s thoughts. He turned around for half a step, and he was sprinting, as if he was about to break through.
Li Ke immediately used his strength to squeeze Jeff Green's space, but unexpectedly, Jeff Green completely resisted his strength. Although it was difficult, he still moved forward steadily.
"Using Sheldon Lee's defense, Jeff Green broke into the penalty area and made a layup!"
The moment he scored the goal, Jeff Green immediately retreated, and he ran away without celebrating, as if he was afraid of being chased by Li Ke.
Li Ke was stunned and spread his hands in surprise: Why is this guy so powerful?
But what was really surprised was Jeff Green who had just scored a goal.
"That guy, obviously so short and thin, and his strength is so great that he almost failed..."
Jeff Green was still scared, and this was the reason why he ran away.
At the University of Texas, Augustine took the ball, but Du Xiao was the most threatening one.
Jeff Green just faced Li Ke's defense on the offensive end, and now he has to go to the defensive end to deal with Xiao Du's attack.
But let alone, he was very careful and he was so stubborn that he almost cursed his mother.
However, Augustine stood up for this attack from Germany, broke through and scored a throw, and tied 2-2.
At Georgetown University, Li Ke once again faced Jeff Green.
The two looked at each other, silent, but their eyes said everything.
Jeff Green paid attention to the seemingly thin but powerful opponent in front of him. Li Ke was also scratching his head at this moment. The defensive strategy he had thought of before the game can only be overturned completely.
But now, he looked back and thought that Jeff Green, who played power forward at the peak of the NBA, wouldn't have too bad power. I can only say that he thought less.
When they fought again, both of them were more careful.
But in this round, Jeff Green just made a ball transfer station. He received the ball, tied Li Ke's defense outward, and then passed the ball out, finding De Juan Summers on the wing, and De Juan Summers who received the ball made a three-pointer, 5-2, and Georgetown University took a short lead.
18 seconds later, Xiao Du made a three-pointer from the outside. This time it was Jeff Green's turn to spread his hands.
Off the court, Georgetown University head coach John Thompson, got up at this time, walked to the sidelines, and directed the defense on the court to switch defenses.
"Djuan, you go and deal with KD!"
De Juan Summers, who is 2.03 meters tall, is considered the No. 3 star of Georgetown University. Later, he also scored into the NBA, but he was just a fringeman and was eliminated by the NBA three or four seasons later.
During the Georgetown University round, Li Ke faced Jeff Green for the third time.
In the first two rounds, he allowed Jeff Green to score 2 points and 1 assist, and his defense failed.
Same as in the first round, Jeff Green, who received the ball, turned halfway with his back to the basket.
Li Ke still held Jeff Green tightly, and it was impossible to turn his back and shoot, so Jeff Green could only break through.
Whether it was a fake breakthrough or a real breakthrough, Li Ke was ready, but when Jeff Green really rushed up, Li Ke still made a mistake.
After two steps, Jeff Green stopped urgently, but he didn't react.
When he turned around and wanted to make up for it, Jeff Green had already taken action.
Swish!
He scored 4 points in a row, and at the beginning, Li Ke's defense completely failed.
Fortunately, on the offensive end, he immediately made up for his mistakes, and scored 2 points with an extremely sharp empty cut.
The score was bitten tightly.
Halfway through the first half, Rick Barnes replaced Li Ke.
In previous games, Rick Barnes would slap Li Ke who was walking towards the bench after replacing Li Ke and say, "Good defense, Sheldon!"
There was still a filming game, and I said it was gone.
Li Ke, who was sitting on the bench, found technical statistics. Half the first half, Jeff Green scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and his firepower was fully launched.
Li Ke couldn't help but cover his face with both hands. After thinking about it, he could only sigh: The single defense of D-level is still not enough!
But he quickly realized that the game was like this, wasn’t it the effect he wanted?
The opponent is not weak, and the defense he was proud of was full of holes. Next, all he had to do was summarize the game in the small half and then find a way to deal with it in the second half, just like he usually watched videos.
