This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 84

Back in the pitch game, Rudy Gay faced Will Thomas and hit the Huskies' first [-]-pointer.

7-7.

Evened the score.

Gay's three-point shooting percentage this season can only be considered average, less than 32%, but as the absolute core of the team, standing up at this moment seems to be swearing that the momentum of the Huskies cannot be lost.

In the round returning to the Patriots, the Huskies, who began to pay attention to returning to defense, did not give the Patriots any good chances.

The ball was once again in Zhou Lin's hands.

In positional warfare, Zhou Lin is undoubtedly the number one choice.

He is facing Josh Boone. As the best defensive player of the year in the Big East in 2005, Josh Boone's defensive area is not small, and his body is also very strong, but he is as strong as Zhou Lin. He is a tall and fast player, and it is the first time for him to play in the second and third positions. Although Zhou Lin got rid of him in the end, Armstrong made up his position very quickly.

It is worth mentioning that Hilton Armstrong was the best defensive player in the Big East in 2006.

The defensive ability can be regarded as the top three among all the players in this NCAA.

The Connecticut Huskies are arguably the best inside defense in the Big East and top on the national stage.

But at this moment, Zhou Lin suddenly made a movement of pulling the ball, which attracted Armstrong to step forward, then turned sideways and cut to the basket, and made a layup by mistake. , turned a few times, and fell out. Josh Boone originally wanted to grab this rebound, but the stronger Jay Lewis stuck in his position.

Hilton Armstrong and Josh Boone are considered strong players on NCAA teams, both weighing close to 240 pounds.

But if you shop around, you have to throw away the goods.

The tonnage and center of gravity of the 275-pound Jay Lewis are really terrifying. The fat buttocks and thick thighs give Jay Lewis an almost terrifying lower body strength, and he uses his thick and thick shoulders to support his body. A fixed area, almost as long as the rebound falls in this area, it is difficult for the opponent's inside players to take the rebound from Lewis.

Grabbing rebounds is not just about height and jumping. In terms of confrontation, the short insider Lewis is definitely not afraid of anyone on the Huskies.

He locked the rebound at the rim, made a tip-back, and flexed his muscles along the way.

"Look, Jay Lewis of the Patriots is only 2.01 meters tall, but weighs 125 kilograms. It seems that Armstrong and Josh, two rebounders, are in trouble."

"In my opinion, Jay Lewis is a monster with strong confrontation ability and a large body cross section. It looks a bit like Barkley."

"I agree with you. I would call Jay Lewis Barkley of the George Mason University Patriots."

The two commentators were also fans of Jay Lewis' performance.

Playing as a center with a height of 2.01 meters, Jay Lewis has to fight in the interior with players who are much taller than him in almost every game. As the captain, Lewis has always been studying how to grab rebounds and block positions. He averaged nearly eight rebounds per game this season. It can be said that Lewis's performance in the interior is remarkable.

Although Zhou Lin is the core of tactics, and Lamar's score is higher than Jay Lewis, but the most powerful backing in this team is Jay Lewis. Although the height of the Patriots' insiders has always been criticized, In fact, the Patriots' inside line has never been blown out, not even one.

It doesn't matter how tall and strong you are, or how rich your offensive methods are.

In the NCAA, where the strength has not yet reached its peak, Jay Lewis can rely on most of the insiders who are so fleshy. It doesn't matter how tall you are.

But it is difficult for such a player to knock on the door of the NBA. After all, players like "Flying Pig" Barkley are rare.

In fact, the Patriots team, if you look closely, is a bit weird in terms of lineup arrangement.

A thin and short back line, Zhou Lin, who is the tallest but only plays the 3 position, and two stocky players with a height of [-] feet [-] guard the inside.

But maybe it's this kind of weirdness that makes most teams look uncomfortable.

For example, Josh Boone is obviously a strong defensive player, but facing a guy whose height is infinitely different from his own, he is a bit of a playful state. Armstrong, who is 2.11 meters, can't grab the rebounds of Jay, who is only 2.01 meters. .Lewis.

"Competing for strength, I have never lost."

Jay Lewis stepped back while still talking.

Compared with Connecticut's masters who can block shots, the Patriots' air defense ability is poor. No player can average 1 block per game, but their surface ability is not weak at all.

Hehe, no matter how high you jump, you must always return to the ground.

Back in the Huskies' half, Armstrong seemed to want to get back on the field and asked for it on the inside, but he didn't gain the upper hand in Jay Lewis' position, and instead was pushed away from the basket as much as possible. Marcus Williams still gave the ball to Armstrong, but now Armstrong's position is at least 2.5 meters away from the basket. This is not a shooting distance that Armstrong likes.

He pressed his back into it, but found that the latter was nailed to the ground like a hill, but it hurt a little bit from bumping into it a few times.

He made a back turn, hoping to avoid Lewis' defensive area, but how could Lewis give him such a chance, and found a suitable blocking route in advance.

Armstrong couldn't go any further, he could only make a step-back jumper that he wasn't very good at, and everyone fell down along the way.

The result was predictably bad, the ball hit the front edge of the backboard directly.

Lewis took two steps forward, easily got the basketball, and looked back at Armstrong with contempt, as if to say: I haven't exerted my strength yet, why did you fall down?
Seeing Lewis's arrogant eyes, Zhou Lin couldn't help laughing.

Armstrong has encountered a hard stubble.

The attribute of Jay Lewis is that he is more afraid of the inside line who makes a fuss at the mid-range level, because his footsteps are not fast and his air defense ability is poor.

Kind of like Aldridge.

As for Armstrong, his offensive skills are not rough, but they are definitely not technical.

On weekdays, his offensive method is to face the thin and tall inside line, and his strength is hard to overcome. Coupled with his height, it can be said that he can get anything he wants.

The defensive end can also jump up and block shots against such tall and thin players.

But in front of Jay Lewis, Armstrong couldn't show his weight, and he couldn't jump up after being blocked by his opponent.

His characteristics are also restrained, which can be regarded as one thing and one thing.

I guess Lewis thinks the same way, you can't squeeze in the inside line, if you can come in, I will lose, and if you can kill me, then I will admit it.
