This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 33 Mutual Explosion Tactics
In fact, Flint Hills has almost no way to restrict Oden and Conley in North Lawrence, especially Oden, once he enters the hinterland, he will either give you a heavy dunk or use a heavy After his body ran over you, he was able to put the basket, not to mention Oden's low-post skills are good, and he is definitely not the kind of "rough guy" who only has a body.

At the beginning of the third quarter, North Lawrence played a wave of 12 to 4 attacks, and once again opened the score to more than 20 points.

Jim made a very weird substitution, and the insider Gion was replaced.

In fact, as long as Gion is on the court, he will only be ravaged by Oden. Oden has a terrifying shooting percentage of more than [-]%.

In this invitational tournament, there are almost no players who can limit Oden.

It was replaced by Otto, a stocky third-year striker.

And his height is only six feet eight inches, one inch shorter than Zhou Lin.

And he's playing center forward!
No one would force him to stand up to Auden.

Flint Hill can only use the zone defense. When Oden sits in the low post, he will face three players double-teaming.

The collapse of the defense line was also expected by Zhou Lin and Coach Jim.

Oden was even more invincible inside, and Conley clearly handed the ball to Oden.

Although Oden faced defensive pressure from two or three people, he responded with goals one after another.

The reason for going to Otto is naturally on the offensive end.

Now that no one can limit Oden on the defensive end, Flint Hill can only make a fuss on the offensive end.

Otto didn't play a lot of time in the state championship. This 2.03-meter player, who serves as a power forward, made 43% of his three-pointers. The ratio is 36%, which is what Coach Jim values.

Even though Oden has amazing athletic ability, it is unrealistic to let his defense radiate from the basket to the three-point line.

After Otto finished the pick-and-roll with Zhou Lin, he didn't go to the basket like Gion, but went to the bottom corners on both sides to make a cross screen with Blair, ambush at the three-pointer of the bottom corner.

In this case, Zhou Lin, who handles the ball, will face several different situations.

1. If Oden followed Otto to the outside line, then Zhou Lin would definitely attack inside without hesitation.

With a height of [-] feet [-], Zhou Lin is not afraid of the height of defenders at all.

2. Oden does not expand outward, continues to guard the basket, and forms a defensive corner with Cook or Conley to defend.

Zhou Lin will pass the ball to the bottom corner without hesitation, or Blair, or Otto, there will always be someone who will appear in the open space.

3. If Oden does not expand, the opponent chooses to switch defenses. Only Oden is at the basket, and Zhou Lin will also choose to use speed and rhythm to beat Oden, or shoot mid-range shots, or layups.

Regardless of the defensive state, there will definitely be better offensive opportunities on Flint Hills.

It's an offense that comes at the cost of giving up defense.

The most important thing about this lineup is that whether it is Zhou Lin or his teammates, they can put the ball into the basket when the opportunity arises.

How could the coaches and players of North Lawrence High School fail to understand such tactical intentions.

In view of the fact that in the first half and the beginning of the second half, except for Zhou Lin, the shooting percentage of other players was less than [-]%, so in the first round, Oden and Cook directly let go of Blair after the cross screen.

Before Zhou Lin formed a double-team, he saw Blair who was in the open space in the left bottom corner.

The opportunity presented itself to Blair, and Blair almost didn't hesitate, just raised his hand and shot.

He didn't score, but the rebound bounced to Zhou Lin's side. Zhou Lin flicked it, and Blair got the ball again, and made a second attempt.

The ball finally fell into the basket obediently.

Blair also punched hard.

According to his words, he will try to make those shots that should be scored.

He did too.

Although he shot less than 31 percent from three in the state championship, his field goal percentage has been on the rise.

It was also a change for Blair after being rejected by several colleges entering his senior season.

It is not a wise thing for a forward who is just over 1.9 meters tall, has no outside shots, and can only fight in the interior with players who are four or five inches taller than him.

Zhou Lin also gave Blair a lot of advice.

Therefore, the ability to break through with the ball, proper weight loss, and a lot of shooting training have made Blair better.

It's just that, under Zhou Lin's evolution that was too heaven-defying, Blair's progress seemed extremely small.

You know, at the beginning of the senior season, he and Mason were the trump cards of the team.

Jim also applauded his disciple Blair fiercely. The meaning of this goal is too great.

Blair's investment represents the successful execution of tactical intentions.

If the shot fails, North Lawrence will still let players other than Zhou Lin shoot from the outside.

As for North Lawrence High School, whether to make changes.

Even Oden is still getting what he wants in the paint.

But Flint Hill, who didn't expect to win this race, has done well enough.

On the next possession, as Coach Jim predicted, Lawrence North chose other defensive options.

When encountering a pick-and-roll going out, Cook chose to chase Blair who was going outside.

Switch!

Zhou Lin met Oden's defense.

They still believe in Oden's defensive range and ability.

But this time it will be Zhou Lin who will challenge Oden's defensive authority.

He first paused near the free throw line, then took a cross step and quickly killed inside.

Oden's flexibility is rare among seven-foot centers. He was able to catch up with Zhou Lin's first step, but when Zhou Lin reached the inside, he made a sudden stop, then pulled back, and made a dry shot.

Oden rushed towards Zhou Lin, but it was too late.

The basketball went smoothly into the basket.

The difficulty of this ball is not small. Continuous disguise and sudden stops and quick starts have extremely strong requirements for body coordination and shooting stability.

But Zhou Lin invested.

It seems that the people of North Lawrence High School have nothing to do with Zhou Lin.

A player with the height of a power forward, but with the dodge and maneuver of a six-foot guard, it is difficult for even Oden to make the most effective defense.

70:49.

And Zhou Lin has scored the 22nd point of the field.

There are three and a half minutes left in the third quarter.

As long as they can still score, mutual attack is what Zhou Lin and Flint Hill would like to see.

They are all scoring, and Flint Hill's scoring is too wide. Not only can they stabilize the situation, but they can even recover the score by a small margin.

Flint Hill's tactics are still effective, three points, two points.

Zhou Lin, who got the ball, kept making the most correct choices on the field, and the other players of the team did not disappoint Zhou Lin's passing after all.

In the last three and a half minutes, Blair and Otto hit one and two three-pointers respectively.

As for Zhou Lin, he was also challenging Oden's height and scored a high-scoring rebound.

In this wave of offensive, Flint Hills has a small advantage.

77:60.

Entering the fourth quarter trailing by 17 points.
