012: Really made a name for the moon(1/2)
Shea made a fake fax to trick Hurley, which made countless scouts shine.
A big man over 2 meters tall, no matter how tall he is, his skills are still very good. Can you bear this?
I thought this game would only be Hill's Crouching Dragon, but it turns out that where there is a Crouching Dragon, there must be a Phoenix!
Originally, the scouts came to see Hill today, but Shay turned out to be a surprise.
Hill also discovered that No. 23, who did not play in the first half, was not an ordinary person.
This time he did not single out Shea, but waved his hand and called on Laettner's replacement, No. 5 Crawford Palma, to step forward to pick and roll.
Although Parma is only 2.08 meters tall, he is very stocky, and his pick-and-roll quality this time was very high.
Coupled with Hill's unparalleled first step, Shay completely lost his defensive position after being caught for a while!
Coach K smiled and said the attack was successful this time.
All it takes is to interrupt Georgetown University's offensive wave, and the game situation will turn around in an instant.
Hill broke into the paint, jumped up elegantly, and prepared for a layup.
But at this moment, the basket became dim, and Hill only saw a big mountain rising from the ground.
Dikembe Mutombo, he suddenly appeared like a ghost.
When this guy jumps up and straightens his arms, nothing can get past his fingertips.
"Snapped!"
The whole audience could hear this crisp sound. Mutombo used a well-timed and clean block to deny the talented Hill's layup!
Mutombo, this guy was able to block 210 shots in his first season in the NBA, averaging 3.0 per game.
None of the birds and beasts in the NBA can cross this mountain, and the young men in the NCAA can only stay away.
It's a pity that Mutombo is still in the stage of "a young man who doesn't know how to pretend to be good, and mistakes a low profile for a treasure", and he doesn't know how to wag his finger.
If Mutombo had beaten Hill before wagging his finger at this genius, this defense would have been even more perfect.
Grant Hill was defended for three consecutive rounds. Shea and Mutombo didn't say anything, but Mourning on the bench was already crazy with joy.
He waved his towel wildly and danced on the sidelines.
Mourning, a man who can drain his physical strength even on the bench.
Uncle Mu blocked the flying basketball and was grabbed by Shea. Shea's height and wingspan gave him unrivaled ability to compete on the outside.
Shay's height of 2.06 meters is not excessive for playing center in the NCAA. For Georgetown, this is equivalent to putting a center inside and a center outside.
The rebounding aspect is very good.
After Shea got the basketball, he quickly turned around and counterattacked. This time Hurley directly defended him, but with a strong wave of his hand, Shea pushed Hurley three steps away!
Shay's 78 strength may not be a big advantage in the NBA, but it is more than enough to deal with a point guard in the NCAA.
It's like a big stick stirring up a small vat.
Just now, Shay used skill to pass Hurley, just because he wanted to do it, not because he had to do it.
Hurley looked at himself taking one step forward, taking three steps back, and his mentality collapsed!
Me... you...
Can this be prevented!?
Shay went straight in again, and it was obvious that he was a one-stop lover.
Shea had already scored a goal with a quick dunk just now. Duke naturally couldn't let Shea break through this time.
Everyone immediately shrank to the basket to prevent Shay from rushing to the basket.
But in the middle of the crowd, with his eyes on the basket, Shea suddenly exerted force on his wrist and passed the ball without looking at anyone, sending the ball to his teammate Charles Harrison in the second position.
Because Shay attracted the opponent to shrink, he was completely unguarded outside the three-point line!
Although no team these days advocates chasing and shooting three-pointers during counterattacks, it would be a waste if Harrison didn't shoot at this opportunity.
Harrison catches the ball and shoots, which is his favorite rhythm.
He doesn't have the ability to hold the ball and attack, but he still has the ability to catch and shoot, and it's huge!
With no one defending him, Harrison's three-pointer hit the net.
Georgetown University launched a 7-0 offensive climax in the second half, chasing the point difference to 11 points in one breath!
John Thompson waved his arm vigorously, and Shea did not forget his responsibilities as a point guard.
It's good to be able to score, but it's the point guard's mission to find teammates with better opportunities and create easy scoring opportunities.
Although the game is not over yet, Thompson has already made up his mind.
The starting point guard position next season will be reserved for Shay!
Coach K also gritted his teeth, Georgetown's defense was too abnormal.
There is No. 23 on the outside, and there is Mutombo on the inside.
Hill just managed to pass the Sheyna Pass, but was stopped by the African mountains again.
I don't know how to break such a defense at all.
Moreover, this is not Georgetown's strongest defensive state.
There is also Mourning sitting on the bench.
No. 23 Mourning Mutombo...
It’s like a moving Great Wall!
I'm afraid that the entire Big East Conference's scoring average will be lowered by Georgetown University.
Xie Yi is long, Uncle Mu is wide, Mourning is shaking the towel!
But Mourning was suddenly stunned. No, the team lost by 18 points when I was there. When I was away, the team started 7-0. This...
Winning is not scary, but whoever is missing will be embarrassed!
Mourning feels that his team status is -1.
In the next few rounds, Duke's offense became stagnant thanks to the two ghosts of Shea and Mutombo who had known each other for years.
Duke's strongest offensive points this season are Laettner and Hill. As for the others, they are all functional role players.
They can skillfully run tactics in the old K's system, and then make the shots they should take when they have the opportunities they should have.
But when the game is intense and personal ability is needed to solve problems, it is often difficult for such role players to play a role.
Hill also tried to carry the whole team, but the two locks inside and outside of Shea and Mutombo really made him miserable.
Finally, with 1 minute and 32 seconds before the end of the game, with Shea's breakthrough goal assisting Mutombo for a dunk, Georgetown University finally evened the 18-point difference!
Now, the two sides are tied at 62-62 and are back on the same starting line.
At this time, even Laettner, who was extremely arrogant in the first half, could not sit still and stood nervously on the sidelines.
Can he not be nervous? If he loses, he will have to walk around the court upside down.
Punishments are actually trivial matters. The key is that I was so rampant before and ended up losing the game in the end. This is very embarrassing, isn't it?
I am the number one person in the NCAA, when have I ever experienced this kind of cowardice?
Hill was out of breath. In the second half of the game, Shea and Mutombo forced Hill's shooting to be on the same level as theirs, and then used their rich experience to defeat him.
Hill couldn't be more iron-clad in the second half, and his energy was exhausted very quickly.
Now Hill is just a kid who has just graduated from high school. He has endured a lot of pressure that he should not bear at this age, so it is normal for his physical energy to be exhausted quickly.
Hurley didn't plan to look for Hill again in this round. He wanted to wait for his teammates to run tactics and then organize a wave.
But Georgetown's morale had already been lifted. Not only did Shea and Mutombo defend fiercely, but all five people on the field defended desperately and blocked every gap.
Hurley, the future assists leader in NCAA history, could not find a passing opportunity for a while!
As time passed, Hurley passed the ball several times, but he did not allow his teammates to get a good chance. In the end, the ball returned to his hands.
With only 3 seconds left in the 30-second attack time, Hurley could no longer pass the ball and could only force a shot against Harrison's defense.
The result is obvious. Players in this era are generally not very capable of shooting three-pointers, not to mention that Hurley is still short.
This three-pointer missed the mark and flew out of the baseline.
Georgetown University got the ball when it was tied in the last minute!
Thompson immediately called a halt to the game, and victory was just around the corner.
At this point, Leitner couldn't sit still and applied to play.
You can't lose to those trash guys in Georgetown, and you can't lose your own bet!
Old K nodded and agreed to Leitner's request to play.
This white center who can shoot from any position is an out-and-out key player.
He staged two game-winners last season, and this critical moment is exactly when he is needed.
In this way, when the two sides returned to the court, Georgetown still did not play Mourning, but Duke played Laettner.
Mourning was angry at the time: "Didn't we agree that the strongest players from both teams would not play in the second half? Damn, I can't afford it!"
John Thompson: Please give me some face...
Leitner did not live up to his promise. After all, he said he could win the second half even if he didn't play.
To be continued...
