This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 49 Dislocation Advantage
Lorenzo had tried out Zhou Lin and knew the potential of this guy in front of him.

In his eyes, every technique of Zhou Lin is very good, but none of them have reached the absolute top.

This kind of player is suitable to play as the core of the team system, but if it is used as a puzzle, it is not the most perfect.

He also admitted that Zhou Lin's future ceiling is very high.

But the fact that Zhou Lin was declined was also based on the stable system of the team.

Unlike the Patriots, the structure of the Huskies is very stable. With the foundation of Brandon Roy, Bobby Jones, and Jamal Williams, it is determined that the minimum limit of this team will not be very low. March Madness won't be a problem.

Competitive enough, just need to add some appropriate role players, and then wait for the chemical reaction to appear, this team will go further than last season, and even reach the final four.

But what Lorenzo didn't expect was that Zhou Lin had grown a lot in half a year.

And Coach Jim made Zhou Lin quickly adapt to the NCAA-level physical confrontation.

Vigorous grabbing, decisive shooting, and calm handling of the ball, it is completely unrecognizable. He is a rookie player who has just set foot in the NCAA arena.

"We have a problem with our offensive meter, Brandon, control the rhythm, you are the heart of the team, you need to keep alive, defensive end, Mike, and Bobby, you have to guard the inside, Brandon, you and Jamal you guys need to supplement the defense, Brockman, you need to give Zhou 35 more contact, you know, he is a smart player, and he has a good shot."

Zhou Lin's size, in the NCAA arena, is definitely a large-sized third position, with foot movement, shooting ability, and dribbling skills.

In fact, there is no player on the Huskies team who can defend Zhou Lin one-on-one, just like no player on the Patriots team can limit Brandon Roy on one-on-one defense.

Back on the court, the defensive effect of coach Lorenzo's tactical intentions has not been fully realized.

Joan Brockman is indeed good, but he can be three, four, or even five. He can be regarded as the fastest player among the inside players, and his wingspan can indeed limit Zhou Lin's shooting.

But facing the speed of Zhou Lin, who was two inches taller than him, he obviously couldn't keep up.

The 30-pound weight gap makes the speed of the two people not at the same level, making him look a little clumsy.

Zhou Lin did not cut into the hinterland of the Huskies. After reading the defense, Zhou Lin sat up in the middle and long distance.

Around the free throw line, Zhou Lin hit a long-range shot, which also made the Huskies realize that Zhou Lin was dismantling their defense.

In the next round, Brandon Roy, who was on the flank, chose to assist in the defense and gave Zhou Lin enough interference to force Zhou Lin to play the ball.

But at this point, Coach Jim's tactical intention has been realized.

And Lamar Butler, who is a bit nervous at the moment, is also beginning to show his characteristics.

After Zhou Lin stuffed the ball to Will Thomas, the latter passed the ball and made a back screen, and the ball reached Lamar Butler's hands.

The latter raised the knife and dropped it without any hesitation.

He's a very confident shooter.

As long as you make a move at the right time, there will always be some unexpected surprises.

The tactical intention was disintegrated by the opponent in the first round. This is a very frustrating emotion, and this emotion has also affected the offensive feeling of the Huskies players to a certain extent.

In fact, when coach Jim arranges defensive tactics, he and Lorenzo have a bit of the same meaning.

Strengthen the defense against Brandon Roy, and double-team if necessary. Roy's attack was too smooth tonight, and he developed an offensive touch early on.

If you can only choose one of the two, I would rather let players other than Brandon Roy attack.

Of course, try to cut off Brandon Roy from his teammates.

Use fast rotation to destroy the opponent's conduction ball, even if you can't steal the opponent, you must put more pressure on the opponent's offensive player.

In the last few minutes of the first half, the Patriots used their tenacious defensive attitude to allow the opponent, the Huskies at home, to shoot 9 of 2.

In the case of ebb and flow, the Patriots played a 13-5 offensive wave at the end of the first half.

At the end of the first half.

The Patriots were only 24 points behind 28 to 4.

Zhou Lin personally contributed 9 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds.

The opponent's core Brandon Roy contributed 12 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds.

It's pretty good to get such data in halftime. After all, under the NCAA game rules, the upper limit of each offensive round is extended to 35 seconds, which is equivalent to reducing the number of rounds by one-third compared with before.

Unless there is a huge disparity in strength, it is very normal for the two teams to score more than [-] points in a whole game without overtime.

Coach Jim was very satisfied in the second half of the first half.

Zhou Lin's personal offense opened up the opponent's defensive gap, and he did not indulge in personal offense, which is particularly important.

George Mason played wonderful team basketball against Washington University, which was clearly better than his side on paper.

Of course, all these chemical changes are due to Zhou Lin's ability to handle the opponent's defense system with ease.

Big and fast, with solid fundamentals and a passer.

Coach Jim has tried to let Zhou Lin solve some things by himself.

Maybe every player can show a good side in front of a weak team, but only when encountering a strong team like the Eskimos can Jim see the player's upper limit and potential clearly.

Although Zhou Lin is capable of any part of his offensive system, Coach Jim has some doubts that locking Zhou Lin under a certain offensive system may restrict Zhou Lin a lot.

"Zhou Lin, you can try to be tougher."

Coach Jim put his arm around Zhou Lin's shoulder and said, "You know very well that no player on the other side can match you up and continue to be aggressive."

And in order for Zhou Lin to get better opportunities to attack, Coach Jim drew up a few more sets of tactics.

At the beginning of the second half, Zhou Lin became more active.

He and Tony Skin, who was back on the field, made a pick-and-roll, and then cut to the inside. Tony Skin shoved the ball to Zhou Lin. Zhou Li made a prelude of turning around and shaking his shoulders, which immediately attracted a double-team.

Zhou Lin passed the ball along the trend, and Jay Lewis got the ball under the basket. At this time, Brandon Roy, who was rotating to the position, could only watch the short and strong insider Lewis, bounced himself with his weight, and then quickly hit the ball into the basket.

In the next round, Zhou Lin found an opportunity for misplacement and directly scored points inside.

Unlike the performance of high school basketball games, the most important part of the NCAA league offense is to seize various misplaced opportunities.

As for Zhou Lin, it seems that anyone playing at the University of Washington is a misplacement.
