The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 64 Gonzaga Matador (please recommend, please collect)
"The warm-up is over, and players from both sides are playing one after another."

Kenny Smith said.

"The Davidson Wildcats have a very impressive record this season. Curry, who averaged 30 points per game, and Lin Yue, who averaged 16 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds per game, are the core of the team. I don't know why there is such a duo. Davidson is only the No. 10 seed." Barkley also had the same reaction as Lin Yue.

"Is Lin Yue referring to that young man?" Smith asked.

"It seems to be him. This kid is really not simple." Although Barkley has a "big mouth", he has to admit what should be admitted, and the data will not lie.

Davidson's starting lineup remains unchanged, and Boris' jump ball still loses, with a familiar rhythm.

The Gonzaga Matadors have no outstanding players, and their scoring is scattered. In addition, the league it belongs to pays more attention to defense, and the average score per game is not high. However, Austin Daye, who is a substitute, is a good power forward.

Of course, Matt and Pargo in the starting lineup also averaged double figures per game. As for the players, the scoring is more scattered.

Pargo is the Matador's point guard. He takes the ball and advances. His size is similar to that of Richards. Due to the appearance of Lin Yue this season, Richards' average assists and points per game have dropped a lot, but his defensive efficiency has greatly improved.

At the beginning of the game, Pargo wanted to use a cover to try his own attack, but Richards obviously didn't give it a chance. He avoided the pick-and-roll players and continued to defend, blocking Pargo's offensive line.

Gonzaga itself is not a strong offensive team. Under Davidson's strict defense at the beginning of the game, the first goal of the game ended with a strike.

"Davidson Wildcats defense looks good, no one is out of position." Smith is very optimistic about Davidson.

"The main reason is that Gonzaga's offense is really not good." Barkley didn't save the Matadors any face, and his words hit the nail on the head.

Richards came to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue controlled the ball at the free throw line, and Curry used the screen to circle to the right corner.

Lin Yue moved the ball away, Curry caught the ball and adjusted it before shooting. The basketball had a high arc and went into the net hollowly.

"Wow, Davidson's offensive system is very smooth." Smith exclaimed, he usually only sees this kind of execution team in the NBA.

"There is no doubt that it is not a coincidence that the Davidson Wildcats can beat Duke and UCLA." Barkley thought the game would be sleepy, but it seemed that he was thinking too much. Davidson showed a strong attacking power at the beginning.

After Curry scored a goal, he shook his hand, and the hand feeling seems to be very good today.

In the next round, Gonzaga got smarter and hung the ball inside. Davidson's weakness was still the inside defense. Boris' height was a fatal injury. They successfully scored this goal.

Boris was a little frustrated, he had no problem with his defensive footwork, but his height couldn't help him at all.

"Gonzaga played it reasonably."

On the next shot, Lin Yue saw that the opponent was focusing all his attention on Curry, and he dribbled past the defenders consecutively and then went to the basket.

Gonzaga's center blocked Lin Yue from layup.

Seeing that the opponent's legs were spread too far, Lin Yue hit the ground and passed to Boris under the basket, who easily dunked the ball in.

"Beautiful pass, if I were ten years younger, I would definitely be his teammate." Barkley's tone was arrogant, with the momentum that Lin Yue and I could win the championship.

"That's not enough." Kenny Smith quickly calmed down his old friend, otherwise this person would burst out some "golden sentences".

UCLA, which hadn't played yet, was watching Davidson's game.

Seeing Lin Yue's two assists in the opening game, Westbrook was very excited, "I just said that the core of Davidson is Lin Yue, not Stephen Curry."

The teammates around him thought he was crazy. The elder brother averaged 34 points per game, which is more than double your average points per game.

But no one cares about this tortoise. After all, when this person talks about Lin Yue, he is closer than talking about his teammates. Who knows what this person and Lin Yue went through after that game.

Love was not as excited as Westbrook, and whispered, "It seems that I need to practice passing more."

On the other side of the Rockets, Yao Ming became excited when he saw Lin Yue's performance in the opening game. If the national team had the opportunity to join forces with him in the future, he might have a chance to break through the national team's best results. From just a few shots, Lin Yue's ball skills are better than his old friend Liu Wei of the national team.

McGrady was thinking that Lin Yue and Yao Ming were from the same hometown, maybe he was also interested in the Rockets, and looked at Alston, the street ball king who was watching the game seriously, with a wicked smile.

Alston's attention was still on the game at first, and suddenly he felt a little creepy. Looking back, McGrady's meaningful smile almost scared him. What does this expression mean.

Next, under the leadership of Lin Yue and Curry, Davidson firmly occupied the situation on the court. No matter what kind of onslaught the Gonzaga Matadors launched, Davidson could always respond in time. Curry's current touch is exaggerated, 4 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 two points, 13 points in just a few minutes, and Lin Yue also scored 4 points and 4 assists.

"Although this is the first round of the game, there is no doubt that the offensive firepower of the Davidson Wildcats is the strongest in the 'Crazy Three' this year. Even if I have seen other teams play, I can still guarantee it." Barkley started the classic nonsense stage again.

And Kenny Smith has long been used to his appearance, so naturally he didn't take his words seriously, but he was also frightened by Davidson's offense. This team is definitely a top-five offense, which is not an exaggeration.

Mark Fuyu hurriedly called a timeout. Although he didn't expect much from the team's performance in the NCAA tournament this time, he never expected that the team would be defeated in the first round.

He originally thought that the Davidson Wildcats were just Curry standing out, and the game would naturally be won if Curry was killed on the defensive end. He didn't expect Davidson, a yellow man, to sort out the team's offense so well.

Unless they can't make the shot themselves, but Curry feels good today, 6 of 5 shots, what can you do.

However, it is impossible for these two people to play the whole game. If they play the whole game, I will admit it and lose, but this is impossible.

Mark Fuyou saw Lin Yue who was wiping sweat on the bench. No surprises, McKillop would replace him. At this time, he planned to replace the sixth man on the bench, Austin Daye. You play, and now the strength of the two teams has changed.

At this time, the Davidson Wildcats scored 25 to 18 and briefly led by 7 points. However, Lin Yue was replaced, and the team's lineup also changed.

After replacing Will, Davidson's defensive formation changed, and the defensive intensity was greatly improved compared to before, which transformed into a let-off team.

Gonzaga University, which replaced Austin Daye, switched from defense to offense, frequently attacking Davidson's inside line, grabbing offensive rebounds and launching a second offense after failing to score a goal, and then making kills and making free throws.

"Davidson's perimeter defense has improved, but the interior defense is still not good. Austin's interior offense is easy to do."

However, Curry was still on the court. Gonzaga's offense was not stable enough and scored intermittently. Davidson, who lost Lin Yue, was also intermittent under Curry's leadership. The score was slightly recovered, but the rhythm was still in Davidson's hands.
