I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 33 Memphis Little Blacksmith
In the previous life, the performance of the University of Memphis in the NCAA league in the 2007-2008 season was quite impressive!

Not only created the longest winning streak in team history with 26 consecutive victories, but also entered the finals with 38 wins and 1 loss, setting an NCAA record.

But in the final, many things went wrong, and they lost to the University of Kansas in an upset, and missed the chance to become the king.

The reason why such good results can be achieved, in addition to the iron triangle of Derek Rose, CD Roberts and Joey Dorsey, is most dependent on the DDM tactics of Coach Calipari, which emphasizes "dribble-breakthrough". -Mobile" fast-paced tactical system, known as the "enhanced version of Princeton".

But in this world now, Joey Dorsey's vibrating butterfly wings have set off a small storm at the University of Memphis and the NCAA, and the trajectory of history has changed slightly.

The Derrick Rose in this world may be stronger than the previous life. After all, every day he is practicing and singled out with the best NCAA defenders.

Dorsey's big mouth caused a lot of trouble, but he was right about one thing. Players who can beat him in singles can easily play the NCAA.

You know, the current Dorsey is blessed by the system, and his strength is far from comparable to that of the stupid guy who can only defend in his previous life.

What's more, their extra training also enjoys the small stove opened by Coach Calipari alone.

In addition, the relationship between the players has become more harmonious. Thanks to Dorsey, Rose in this life is no longer the "brother boy" who needs his brother to control everything. Although Dorsey is not very reliable, at least the three views are still very good. Yes, it can also help Rose better communicate and get along with coaches and teammates.

Only by communicating with each other can the team's brain and nerve endings be better connected.

There are many positives, but the team's record is not necessarily better.

Because the team will face an unfavorable factor for most of the regular season-the absence of Dorsey.

It's not that Dorsey's current strength is invincible in the world. In fact, even if he is making rapid progress now, he still cannot be compared with Greg Oden last season.

He plays an important role in the team's tactical system.

Dorsey is the mainstay of the team's interior.

On the defensive end, his physical fitness, defensive awareness and enthusiasm are all indispensable;

On the offensive end, although he didn't have any rich offensive methods in the past, he was able to interfere, rushing to grab offensive rebounds with all his might, and ensured that he could safely and boldly shoot from the outside.

To put it bluntly, his role is actually an enhanced version of "[-] shots" Sakuragi Hanamichi before the training camp.

Although he looks more like Takenori Akagi.

It's hard for people to notice such an iron-blooded blue-collar worker, but if it's really gone, it's like a machine that lacks lubricating oil, and the bearings may be damaged at some point.

Now, the smug Memphis is in such trouble.

Under the leadership of supernova Rose, the team played a wave of 11 consecutive victories, averaging 18 points per game.

Rose averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game.

The team's main scorer CD Roberts averaged 23.3 points per game.

In other words, the University of Memphis' backcourt double guns can add up to 40+ points per game!

For a time, the reputation of the University of Memphis' "golden double guns in the backcourt" shocked the entire NCAA!

However, as the season progressed, Coach Calipari was not excited about the winning streak, on the contrary, his brows became tighter and tighter.

He knew that there were loopholes in his team lineup, but he didn't know when the crisis would erupt!

Facts have proved that he is worthy of being a famous coach of the generation, with an exceptionally sensitive sense of smell.

In the 12th game of the regular season, the crisis finally broke out.

The opponent they faced was Stanford University, and the main players of this team were called the Lopez Brothers!
Brook Lopez and Robin Lopez.

In his previous life, Robin Lopez was selected by the Suns with the 2008th overall pick in 15.

And brother Brook Lopez is even more powerful. He was selected by the Nets with the 2008th overall pick in 10. He has played for the Nets, Lakers, Bucks and other teams. Substitute lineup, selected to the second team of the best defensive team in the 2013-2019 season.

As a 2-meter big man, Brook Lopez's technical characteristics are somewhat similar to Yao Ming.

He has a flexible mind, a soft touch, accurate mid-range shooting, and low-post offensive skills, but his rebounding is weak and his defense is not very strong.

But his weakness in defense and rebounding is that compared to the NBA level, he is already considered outstanding in the NCAA arena.

Recently, Brook Lopez and the Stanford team have not been very smooth.

He missed the team's first 9 games because his academic performance was not up to standard. After returning, he spent a few more games to adapt to the rhythm of the game.

The absence of the main general has also led to the instability of the team's performance. Recently, they have lost consecutive games, and Xiucai moved - all books (losses).

Therefore, the outside world all believe that this will be a one-sided game, and the University of Memphis will continue their winning streak.

The University of Memphis players felt the same way. They didn't pay much attention to this road trip, and even played around and laughed and laughed during the warm-up before the game.

Game start.

The University of Memphis still has a familiar formula and a familiar rhythm, with the "golden double guns in the backcourt" leading the offense.

As an aside, the combination of Rose and CD Roberts was initially called the backcourt double guns. Platinum double guns, if you keep winning, you will be called diamond double guns sooner or later!
Rose attacked the frontcourt and was about to break through to the basket as usual when he suddenly found that the opponent was defending a two-three defense.

Brother Lopez, surrounded by another equally tall insider, the three big men squeezed together, guarding the basket tightly and airtight.

The NCAA did not defend for three seconds, and it seemed that these guys were going to kill them and not move.

It seems that Stanford University has learned the lessons of the previous team and compressed the interior space to prevent Rose from breaking through.

Rose sneered slightly. The second and third defenses are not new. It is very simple to break through. If you make a few shots in a row from the outside, the opponent will not dare to defend like this anymore.

Rose used the dribble to attract the opponent's defensive attention, and suddenly made a beautiful back pass, which hit CD Roberts outside the three-point line.

CD Roberts has an open three-pointer!
boom!
The ball hit the iron and Robin Lopez grabbed the rebound.

It doesn't matter, it's just an accident, the opportunity has come up, it's just that I didn't invest in it!

Soon, the Memphis Tigers launched an attack again, and it was the previous offensive and defensive posture. The Stanford people bet very firmly, that is, stick to the inside and let you shoot outside!

Almost completely replicating the attack of the previous goal, CD Roberts once again found a chance to go out from the three-point line.

Shot!

Boom!

Strike again!

It doesn't matter, the tiger still has time to take a nap, come back next time!

For the third time, when!
For the fourth time, when!
……

CD Roberts felt cold, and he hit all 6 shots!
CD Roberts' statistics in the NCAA are very impressive, but his real performance does not quite match his statistics, because he is a notoriously neurotic knife.

When the state is good, you can shoot through the Yang with a hundred steps, and you can shoot without missing a shot; if the state is not good, you will immediately turn into a small blacksmith.

This is also an important reason why he failed to make a name for himself in the NBA in the future.

Today, his luck is extremely bad!

On the seventh attack, Rose didn't give him the ball anymore, so he did it himself!
