This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 115 Chapter 115: Can't Centers Shoot Threes?
After Zhou Lin scored 5 points in the opening game, the Patriots' offense and defense were in trouble. It was difficult for the Patriots to compete with the multi-point blooming of the University of Florida Gators in positional battles. Lee Humphrey was that A pitcher who shines brightly with some sunshine. The Patriots themselves do not have a good perimeter defender. Lamar Butler is definitely not the kind of player who can lock down the opponent's pitcher. On the offensive end, Lamar Butler is still needed Le's three-point threat, so Lamar Butler absolutely cannot be replaced.

And Billy Donovan can clearly see that Lee Humphrey is the most likely spot on the court, so he keeps asking other players to do off-ball pick-and-rolls for Lee Humphrey.

在上半时比赛进行到还剩下13分钟的时候，鳄鱼队那边就以19-9领先了爱国者整整10分，其中李.汉弗莱一人得到了8分1助攻，其中三分球四投二中。

Coach Jim immediately called a timeout when the point difference reached double digits.

The Patriots made 11 of 4 shots, while the opponent made 12 of 8 shots, nearly double the shooting percentage.

Of course, the players on the field resolutely implemented Coach Jim's strategy, shrinking the inside line to limit the Twin Towers while protecting the rebounds.

It's just that the Alligator's outside line seized the opportunities of those open outside lines. Among the 19 points, 14 points were obtained above the free throw line, and the twin towers of the basket, Joakim Noah and Al Horford, were combined. Got 5 points.

On the offensive end, the Patriots still couldn't fully run. Joakim Noah and Al Horford sprinted all over the field without hesitation, and their defense was basically in place. After falling into a positional battle, the Patriots The team has almost no good strategy.

"We're going to stick to our strategy."

"Lamar and Thomas, you take a break first, Blair, and Skin, you go on the court, and implement the previous defensive strategy."

Tony Skin and Blair finally got the chance to play, but Blair replaced Will Thomas in the fourth position. The average height dropped a lot, and Blair was only six feet four in shoes.

Zhou Lin was pushed to the fourth position and had to face the opponent's fourth position player.

"In fact, in the opening stage of the press through the zone defense, the inside of the Patriots failed to give the Alligator's twin towers much chance, but what about in the transition stage? The Patriots really don't have good substitute players. After playing Will Thomas, the six-foot-four freshman Blair was added, which made the already stretched inside line even tighter. After all, in addition to Joakim Noah and Al Horford, the Gators also have Chris. Richard, and Adrian Moss." Big Van Gundy noticed this at once, and said directly: "And the physical fitness of the 275-pound Jay Lewis will also be a problem."

After all, Joakim Noah and Al Horford are two-meter-one insiders. Following the fast-paced running of the Patriots, physical problems began to appear. The two starting insiders were replaced.

Al Horford, who is heavier, will be replaced first. It is estimated that he will rest for 3-5 minutes, and he will replace Joakim Noah depending on the situation.

Chris Richard, who was replaced, was also not low in efficiency, averaging less than 18 minutes per game, but he could also contribute about 6 points and 3.6 rebounds.

And it weighs more.

"Captain, are you okay?"

Zhou Lin looked at Jay Lewis and said.

In fact, if there is a substitution in the inside line, Zhou Lin thinks that Jay Lewis should be replaced. Although he is only 2.01 meters tall, he weighs 125 kilograms and is the heaviest player on the field.

I have been following the other players of the Patriots to run back and forth on the fast break. You must know that today's offensive and defensive rhythm is almost twice as fast as usual.

Especially for his physical consumption.

Coach Jim is also aware of this situation, but he still cannot easily replace Jay Lewis, because once Jay Lewis is replaced, Al Horford will not be able to cure him, and the substitute insider Chris Richard Germany is also a big weight player, no one on the Patriots side.

"No problem at all!"

Although Jay Lewis breathed out a lot, he still insisted on speaking.

Back on the court, the Patriots' offensive round, this goal is very important. If they can't score, the score may be further opened, and if they score, at least they can stabilize the situation.

After the opponent's twin towers dropped one, Zhou Lin had to do something. The Patriots' feel hadn't improved yet. Zhou Lin himself also missed three shots after the first two successful attacks.

Have to get closer to the basket to shoot.

Jay Lewis worked very hard to pick and roll. His pick and roll quality is the best in the entire Patriots team. His weight and width are unmatched by other players. Brewer can't get around it, so he can only choose to substitute. , facing Zhou Lin is Joakim Noah, Zhou Lin is very determined to break through to the basket this time, Joakim Noah's speed is considered fast in the interior, but Zhou Lin is the player in the second and third positions after all. Fa, several disguised misleadings have caused Joakim Noah to lose his focus. Zhou Lin took advantage of the opportunity to break through to the basket. Facing Chris Richard, who was helping to defend, he directly threw a high throw and hit the basket.

Joakim Noah, who averaged 2.4 blocks per game, and Al Horford, who averaged 1.7 blocks per game, lost at the basket. Chris Richard's ability to protect the frame is obviously not at the same level.

Zhou Lin's determination also paid off.

The Patriots' score also came to 11 points, and the point difference was narrowed to 8 points.

"Zhou is a very smart player. After missing the air defense ability at the basket, he didn't hesitate at all. Chris Richard, despite having a good 7-foot-4 wingspan, moved too slowly to do it. Like Al Horford, he can make some supplementary defenses for perimeter players."

Zhou Lin's goal also aroused the morale of the Patriots.

Blair, who has been injured for three games, is more like a tiger out of the cage. Although Blair is only 1.92 meters tall with bare feet, his body is full of tendons, and his weight has reached more than 230 pounds. He is half a head taller than himself. Chris Richard grabs the position, that's a fierce one.

Relying on the sense of scrambling, Blair also caused an offensive foul by Chris Richard who had just played, and got a ball for the Patriots.

Serving from the backcourt, Tony Skin, like a small sports car that just filled up its gas, rushed to the frontcourt in a flash, and Zhou Lin, Blair, and Campbell all quickly came to the frontcourt, Tony Skin The ball was given to Zhou Lin, and Zhou Lin went in a circle, but did not attack Brewer.

Then he aimed at Jay Lewis who had just reached the half court from the diagonal side, and passed the ball.

Jay Lewis, who was standing outside the three-point line, was two meters away from anyone...

Can't centers shoot threes?
Jay Lewis took a little aim for the layup and then made a shot~
With a bang, the ball went in!
