I'm not really a role player

Chapter 72 What kind of pick and roll is this called? (Please recommend tickets!)

"Okay, audience friends, the game has begun."

Surrounded by noise, Yu Jia's voice sounded.

On the court, Oden overwhelmed Connor Achley and dialed back the basketball.

Mike Conley took a step forward, took the ball in his hands, and then slapped the basketball with high frequency, quickly advancing to the frontcourt.

Li Ke followed Ron Lewis, never leaving. Even if Augustine was passed by Mike Conley in the middle, he would not take a look.

"Conley, this little guard has a lot of speed, goes straight past the point guard at the University of Texas, mid-range jumper..."

Swish!
There were cheers from the sidelines. On the first ball of the game, Mike Conley broke through the emergency stop and hit a two-pointer.

Ohio State opened the scoring first.

As soon as the ball was hit, the CBS commentary immediately raised an objection: "Why didn't the University of Texas let Sheldon deal with Mike Conley?"

"DJ Augustin's defense has long been proven to be extremely poor. If the German University does not solve this problem as soon as possible, the opening ball will only be the beginning..."

In contrast, Yang Wu's commentary focuses all on Li Ke.

"Looking at this ball, Li Ke, who is excellent in single defense, did not switch to defend Conley. The coach's strategy should be to let him devote all his energy to the offensive end."

For a while, Director Zhang, Yu Jia, and all the fans in front of the TV had expectations.

Immediately afterwards, the German University's attack struck.

The sense of anticipation that has just risen has reached the moment of fulfillment.

Li Ke glanced at Xiao Du who was on the strong side, and buried himself in the bottom corner by himself.

Ron Lewis' defense isn't top notch, but it's not bad either.

Before the game, Sadmata helped him analyze Li Ke in detail. He knew that Li Ke went deep into the bottom corner, and he didn't want to mess around.

Judging from previous games, the bottom corner is only the starting point for Li Ke's air cuts.

He stared at Li Ke so closely that Li Ke was a little hairy.

"Fuck, this guy's eyes look like a broken back!"

At the moment, Li Ke took a step back in disgust.

Ron Lewis frowned and posted it again.

However, Li Ke took this opportunity to start suddenly, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, and rushed to the top of the arc.

At the same time, Xiao Du also pocketed from the strong side three-point line and took the ball from Augustin.

It was Dai Quinn Cook who defended him, but obviously, Cook, who was at a disadvantage in terms of height and wingspan, could not guard Xiao Du.

Xiao Du took a step forward, made a fake shot, then shook off the opponent in front of him, then slapped the basketball, and quickly approached Li Ke who was also approaching.

"Sudden mid-range pick-and-roll cooperation, stopped Ron Lewis who was guarding Sheldon...the basketball appeared in Sheldon's hands, mid-range jumper..."

Swish!
The same crisp netting sound.

In the commentary seat of Yangwu, Director Zhang raised his arms high and slapped it hard: "This ball is beautiful. Look at this pick-and-roll. The quality is so good. Li Ke really dared to shoot after receiving the ball!"

Cheers rang out from the Georgia Dome, and in front of the TV on the other side of the ocean, some people yelled Ness unscrupulously, and some suppressed their excitement, just clenched their fists and waved them fiercely without making any sound.

On the court, Li Ke and Xiao Du clapped hands.

"KD, let's continue!"

"For the next ball, let's play number three!"

Ohio State's offense, Mike Conley, who has already scored 2 points, believes that Augustin is the breakthrough of this game.

He broke through again, and this time, Xiao Du caught up in time.

Ohio State power forward Ivan Harris was emptied. Conley passed the ball. Ivan Harris jumped up and made a three-pointer, but the basketball clattered.

Although he defended the ball, Rick Barnes was still a little anxious on the sidelines. He waved his arms and shouted: "Fast rotation! Fast rotation!"

It would be extremely dangerous for Texas to short any Ohio State player.

This Ohio State team is a bit like the Magic team under Stan Van Gundy later. Oden sits in the penalty area, starting from Conley on the outside, to Daequan Cook, Ron Lewis, and power forward Ivan Harris. All have sharp long-range shots.

This is also the reason why the University of Texas' defense in this game is difficult to arrange.

Rick Barnes sat back, and assistant coach Chris Price shook his head: "It's not okay to fight like this, Rick, why don't you let Sheldon deal with Mike Conley?"

"Wait a minute."

Rick Barnes didn't adjust, his eyes went to the middle of the court, and the University of Texas offense started again.

It's still the bottom corner, a familiar position.

Only this time, Li Ke's running route deviated.

Last time, he rushed out around the inner circle of the three-point line. This time, he cut outside the three-point line immediately.

But the end point is still the same.

At the top of the arc, Li Ke turned sideways and gave Xiao Du a cover.

Xiao Du, who holds the ball, is unrivaled, and the threat to the basket is already overwhelming.

Ohio State, which rarely faces outside pick-and-rolls, is also in chaos.

Ron Lewis thought that a switch of defense would solve the pick-and-roll, and after the switch, he could stop Xiao Du.

Dai Quinn Cook bypassed the screen as usual, because generally the big man responsible for the screen would also be defending against the big man. If he just switched defenses, the big man would not be able to guard Xiao Du.

As a result, a weird but reasonable scene appeared on the court. Ron Lewis and Cook went straight to Xiao Du, completely emptying Li Ke who had blocked and disassembled.

"Li Ke is free...give it to Li Ke...give it!"

Director Zhang was a little anxious. In his opinion, the big vacancy in front of Li Ke was such a great opportunity, he could get in if he gave it.

He didn't know that his anxiety was a little superfluous. Li Ke and Xiao Du's style of play was to give the ball to whoever was free.

On the court, Xiao Du dribbled two steps, completely pulled away the defense, and then passed the ball to Li Ke unhurriedly.

With a C-level 20-point shot with a [-]% bonus, the basketball threw off an arc, crossed the sky above the arena, and finally fell straight down with a swish!
About half of the 71000 people in Georgia Dome were cheering.

"Come in, come in, come in!"

Yu Jia kept repeating, but Director Zhang was looking back: "Let me just say, the early pass is early, and Li Ke's shooting is still very accurate. He is indeed the No. [-] scorer of the University of Texas!"

On the court, Li Ke, who had already scored 5 points in a row, clapped hands with Xiao Du, and then suddenly said: "Kevin, the number three is not good, let's change to the number two."

Xiao Du nodded without any objection.

On the sidelines, Chris Price was full of surprise: "Rick, did you arrange this?"

He looked at Rick Barnes, only to see the same surprise on his face.

"It's not me..." Rick Barnes swept around the coach's bench, and everyone shook their heads.

"It seems that it should be their own idea. I don't know if it's Kevin or Sheldon..."

In the commentary seat of CBS, Shannon Sharp was also a little surprised: "The pick-and-roll of outside players actually has such power?"

Marikarillo is not surprised at all: "It's normal. Since entering the University of Texas, Sheldon has put on a lot of meat. Now he looks very strong and has a lot of strength. As long as the cover position is pinched accurately, the first block is a wall...Also KD, although he plays outside, he is a big man with a height of at least 6 feet 10..."

With an explanation, they were still surprised by the way the University of Texas played.

"There are not many pick-and-roll cooperation between two scorers who can shoot from mid-range and long distances, even in the NBA?"

"Almost none!" Bill Simmons gave the answer. "Judging from the opening two balls, their style of play was very successful, but then, Sadmata should react."

"This style of play is not difficult to strangle to death..."

Ohio State's offense, Rick Barnes shouted from the sidelines: "Sheldon, switch defenses with DJ!"

Augustine breathed a sigh of relief, and patted Li Ke: "I leave it to you."

Mike Conley controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt with steady steps. He found that the defender he was facing had changed.

But he still did not change the established style of play, and it was still a breakthrough.

The speed is fast and the explosive power is very strong, and Li Ke is thrown to the side in one step.

But then, he discovered that a huge force came from his side, oppressing his way forward.

Li Ke was not thrown off, but followed, like Duan Yu catching up with Wang Yuyan, and once he caught up, he couldn't get away again.

Conley didn't force his shot against the defense, he turned around and sent the ball out.

"Look, Li Ke's defense is too tenacious, and he doesn't miss a bit of position. Just now, Mike Conley is awesome. He ate the point guard from the University of Texas raw and replaced it with Li Ke to defend. He became a braggart!"

In Yangwu's live broadcast room, Director Zhang's flattery was as embarrassing as ever, but he was able to blow it to the point, which is very admirable.

Reorganizing the offense, Ohio State finally handed the ball to Dae Quinn Cook, Cook threw a long shot, hit the frame with a bang, and missed!

Xiao Du grabbed the rebound and tried to fight back, but failed.

Ohio State retreated very quickly, especially Oden, with his high and low feet, was not slow at all.

Although Oden hasn't exerted his strength yet at this point in the game, Li Ke already understands why the NBA is so optimistic about Oden.

With this height, such long arms, and being so strong, his physical talent is probably even more exaggerated than that of Xiao Du.

Of course, the premise is that there are no high and low feet.

As Bill Simmons noted, Ohio State has also made changes.

Sadmata shouted from the sidelines: "Switch defense, change defense, just switch defense!"

That's right, just switch defenses.

Li Ke and Xiao Du pick and roll again, but they are broken by a switch.

After switching defenses, Dai Quinn Cook stared at Li Ke closely, but the University of Texas still relied on Xiaodu to single Ron Lewis, hit a mid-range shot, and successfully widened the gap in Ferry's score.

"It's 7 to 2, the game starts, the University of Texas is very strong!"

"But Greg Oden hasn't played yet..."

On the court, Li Ke didn't seem to be frustrated by the failure of the pick-and-roll tactic. After Xiao Du scored, the two gave another high-five.

Then, I only heard Li Ke say: "No, Kevin, we have to play number one."

"it is good!"

Abrams frowned: "What are you talking about?"

Li Ke spread his hands: "After a pause, you should know."
