This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 48 Zhou Lin Pleads
Yes, take zone defense!
The NCAA is different from the NBA. The attack time is 35 seconds. Unless it is a particularly good opportunity, they will attack cautiously. It can be said that the rhythm is very slow. More than 85% of the attacks are slow positional battles.

Therefore, zone defense, which is not popular in the NBA, is almost a big trend or the main theme in the NCAA.

Each team will specially train the zone defense and use it extensively in the game.

So did the George Mason University Patriots, and so did the University of Washington Huskies.

After Zhou Lin made a long two-pointer at the top of the arc, the University of Washington called a timeout.

In order to break the Princeton system of George Mason University, they directly replaced the zone defense. While shrinking the inside line, they also replaced Jamal Williams and replaced them with the [-]-foot-[-], fourth-year Mike Jensen.

The latter is a substitute player in the team, while Joan Brockman, who originally played in the fourth position, moved to the third position in order.

Although Brockman is a little shorter than Zhou Lin, his advantage lies in his excellent wingspan, fast movement speed, and very active defensive attitude.

In order to restrict Zhou Lin from dealing cards or firing cannons, Brockman fixed his eyes on Zhou Lin.

This is a very clever tactic. Zhou Lin's support threat has been reduced a lot, and Zhou Lin has not obtained permission for difficult shots, so he can only pass the ball.

Last season's top scorer, Jamal Butler's touch has not returned for a long time, and the two shots from the outside are hitting iron again.

Looking back, Justin Dantemon had an advantage in the matchup with Tony Skin. The former disintegrated the Patriots with a difficult three-pointer and a sharp pass like a scalpel. pressing.

13:7.

There are 11 minutes and 25 seconds left in the first half.

The Patriots called a timeout, which was not ideal for the Huskies on both offense and defense.

The opponent always dismantles the opponent's intention one step faster than his own, and has adopted effective means.

Fralin Campbell replaced starting point guard Tony Skin.

Pushing Lamar Butler to the No. [-] position, at least in this way, his defense will not have too many problems, and it is better for Campbell to defend Brandon Roy than to let Jamal Butler defend The good thing is too much.

In the next 3 minutes, neither the Patriots nor the Huskies' offense was smooth.

After Brandon Roy lost his absolute physical advantage, he encountered the interference of the Patriots' continuous defense, and his shooting percentage finally began to decline.

The opponent's head coach also started to make substitutions, replacing Roy and resting for a few minutes.

In the past few minutes, the defensive struggles of both sides have been fierce, and the scoring efficiency has also declined significantly.

The Patriots began to fight frequently. Although they did not have an advantage in height, the Patriots did not suffer from the tonnage and thickness of the inside line.

Jamal Butler finally hit a three-pointer on his fourth shot, and the opponent, Bobby Jones, also made a layup after grabbing an offensive rebound.

But this is the only two sports scores in 3 minutes. In addition, Campbell scored a free throw and Joan Brockman made a defensive foul by Zhou Lin and made two free throws.

8 minutes and 7 seconds left in the first half, 17 to 11.

Brandon Roy replaces Bobby Jones.

Brandon Roy, who had rested, forcibly hit a three-pointer under the defense of Campbell in the first round of offense, and then made an offensive foul by Jay Lewis on the defensive end.

Returning to the frontcourt is another cold-blooded three-pointer!

The University of Washington Huskies are 23 to 11, leading the George Mason University Patriots by a full 13 points.

Brandon Roy scored 10 points alone.

The whole audience was shouting Brandon Roy's name, and the latter also raised his arms to enjoy the cheers.

He is the absolute leader of this team and the core scoring point. A player from George Mason University, it is too difficult to limit him.

And when Jim saw that the opponent was about to start, he had no choice but to call out a timeout. Even if he couldn't deploy very effective tactics, he still had to stop the latter's offensive climax.

"If this continues, our first game will end in a disastrous defeat, coach, can I have a try?"

Zhou Lin couldn't help but said.

He does not reject being a team player and is willing to pass the ball to his teammates, but this team's offensive talent is too limited, it needs to use defense to drive offense, and it needs shooting touch.

When the hand feels good, you may be able to win a lot of teams, but once the hand feels cold, when you meet a team with a restrained style of play.

It will be difficult to move an inch!

Not having a strong singles player is the lifeline of this team, and it is also the key to the Patriots' inability to achieve good results in the past three or four years.

Can't quickly inject energy into the team when it is deadlocked like Roy.

"it is good."

After taking a few glances at Zhou Lin, Coach Jim was sure that there was courage and perseverance hidden in his eyes, and agreed to the request.

The preseason is a game of trial and error.

To find out what's wrong with the team.

And Jim discovered that the problems that existed in the Patriots before still exist now.

The current Patriots are like a warrior with a stick. Although they are tenacious, they can't kill people.

This is why the Patriots can win some games, but can not push the key to the limit.

The team needs a sharp sword to dismember the opponent's defense.

And Zhou Lin, would that be the answer?
But this time, Zhou Lin got the ball at the top of the ring, and he didn't make a quick decision like before. Jay Lewis came up to cover and blocked Joan Pollockman's defense at the first time. Mike Jensen directly switched to the defense Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin dribbled a step out, and immediately retreated and made a two-pointer, hitting Mike Jensen's head.

Zhou Lin's score also reached 7 points!
"Nice shot!"

"I said you can."

Blair sat at the end of the bench and also congratulated Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin's talent on the offensive end is the most terrifying thing, and Blair knows that Zhou Lin is a guy with strong self-confidence.

Looking back, Mike Jensen, who was face-to-face by Zhou Lin, failed to hit the basket to wipe the rebound.

"Get on the ball!"

Coach Jim shouted loudly.

At some point, Zhou Lin was the first to run back. After Jay Lewis grabbed the rebound, he threw a powerful long pass to the backcourt.

In fact, the ball was a little too hard, and Zhou Lin accelerated a few steps before barely catching up.

Facing an empty basket, he directly succeeded in dunking.

With 5 minutes and 12 seconds left in the first half, the George Mason Patriots recovered 4 points.

23:15.

The University of Washington at home still has an 8-point lead.

But now the question is in front of head coach Lorenzo, how to deal with the [-]-foot-[-] Zhou Lin's shooting.
