Chapter 58 The Call of March Madness

The game between the Gators and the Wildcats went in an abnormal direction from the beginning.

Three minutes later, the Wildcats have not scored yet.

Mashburn looked at DeWeese in a different way.

"It's too strong, why wasn't it so strong last time?"

Mashburn's style of play is somewhat similar to the later "Melon" Anthony. He is a large-tonnage small forward known for his shooting ability, and his athletic ability is not bad.

Originally, a player like him would be misplaced no matter who he hit, but the double team arranged by Davis directly made Marsh unable to use his strength.

And what about his other teammates?

The answer is that the other teammates have almost been psychologically shadowed by Davis. . . .

Mason didn't catch the ball at all since Davis didn't face-to-face for the third time, and when he got the ball in the backcourt, he passed the ball directly to Mashburn.

Mashben had no choice but to advance with the ball himself.

As the "No. 90 offensive small forward in the 19.1s" claimed by later generations, Mashburn scored 5.4 points, 4 rebounds and 20.8 assists in his career. In the season when he retired, he could also score 6.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and [-] assists. Although assists are not his strong point, he still does well in college-level games.

But why the opponent didn't give him a chance.

Nasr and Baker's extremely resolute double-teaming and DeWeese's perfect assist defense made it impossible for Mashburn to see the point of exit.

He has attached great importance to Davis. In his opinion, if he can see the point of the ball, Davis must also see it. If the ball is played rashly, it will definitely be another steal.

Mashburn looked at the two double-teaming him in front of him, and then at the eye-catching score of 12-0 on the scoreboard, his eyes suddenly became firm.

"Since I can't rely on my teammates, I can only do it myself." Mashburn began to dribble the ball in a very small space, and suddenly jumped to the side, facing the defense of the two, and pulled up high.

"Rebound!" Nasr yelled, disbelieving that Mashburn could score with the two of them double-teaming.

However, the ball fell directly into the basket.

Davis watched Mashburn score this difficult goal without any fluctuations in his eyes.He knew that it was impossible for Marsh to score like this throughout the game. Not only did he consume a lot of energy, but his hit rate could not be guaranteed at all.

However, he is still very sure of Mashburn's personal ability.

"It's no wonder that Anthony was in the 90s, and his shooting ability is really strong. However, if you strangled your best post-up singles, can you really shoot us like Anthony?"

Seeing that the score came to 12-2, Davis took the ball and slowly moved forward.

Mason already has a feeling of admiration for Davis' organizational ability. He seems to be able to pass every ball to the most suitable position, allowing players with the least passing vision to find the ball without any effort. And his direct assists can always find teammates who are in open positions, as accurate as a scalpel.

This time was no exception. After Davis called a pick-and-roll, he broke through. After the opposing player made up his defense, Davis threw the ball directly to the sideline as if he had a 360-degree vision.

DeWeese perfectly caught the momentary miss caused by supplementary defense. After Baker received the ball, there was no one in the two-meter radius.

Baker took off steadily and scored two points in the mid-range shot.

Seeing that the University of Florida's offense was so understated, but there was no way to deal with it at all, the players at the University of Kentucky felt a deep sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

Is this still the opponent that he just fought against less than a month ago?

Throughout the first half of the game, DeWeese gave the impression of only four words-everywhere.

He is there when organizing an offense, when he is catching and shooting, when he is on a fast break and counterattack, and when he is helping to defend from the outside. It seems that this No. 1 figure wearing a blue jersey can be seen everywhere.

And this performance only lasted half the time.

Because after halftime, the point difference has come to 60-25, entering garbage time early.

"Is this the performance of the University of Florida, which just lost the game against the University of Kentucky a month ago? Fluid offense, suffocating defense, if the University of Kentucky hadn't been supported by Mashburn, it might not even score 10 points." The commentator summed up the performance of the first half in surprise off the court.

That's right, if it weren't for Mashburn's full firepower, relying on individual singles to score 21 points, the University of Kentucky might not even score 10 points in the first half.

For the University of Florida, everyone on the court scored.

Because of his good running awareness, Baker scored 14 points off the ball, the highest score for the University of Florida.

Davis?Well, I can only say that scoring is not everything. DeWeese scored 10 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists, 5 steals and 4 blocks in the first half of the game. Most importantly, DeWeese, who organized almost all the offenses of the University of Florida, had 0 turnovers in the first half.
"Amazing statistics, astonishing assist-to-turnover ratio! Could it be that another magician is born?" The commentator looked at DeWeese's technical statistics and shouted in surprise.

This game really shocked him too much.

The University of Florida is almost like a reborn, showing hopeless dominance.

In the second half, DeWeese didn't play at all, but Kentucky's players clearly lost their momentum, except for Mashburn who continued to work hard on the court and began to show his adept offensive ability after Florida stopped double-teaming him.

Whether it is mid-range, three-pointers, breakthroughs or post-up singles, he is proficient in everything and can be called an encyclopedia of outside offense.

It's a pity that the protagonist of this game is destined to belong to Davis. It is through this game that Davis wants to say to other NCAA teams: "We, the University of Florida, are here!"

At the end of the game, the score was 90-60. Mashburn played three 10 minutes and was replaced by the coach in the last 10 minutes.Mashburn, who was sitting on the bench, had red eyes and directly covered his head with a towel.He scored a game-high 45 points.But Davis gave him the worst loss since playing.

After ending this revenge battle, the University of Florida has only 4 games left in the regular season this season.

The team members have all heard the call to them from the most important event of the NCAA every year in the not-too-distant future.

Yes, March Madness!
"Are you ready to be my stepping stone to the NBA?" DeWeese walked out of the arena and looked at the night in the distance with deep eyes.

On March 3, the University of Florida beat Mississippi State 8-103 away, officially preparing to start the "March Madness" journey.

In the interview with reporters after the game, Davis only said one sentence.

"Chris Webber, Grant Hill, are you ready to accept failure?"

The next day, the entire American basketball circle was boiling.
