The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 90 Curry's defense (please recommend, please collect)
2 minutes before the end, McKillop replaced Curry.

UCLA coach Holland replaced Love when the ball was stopped in front. During this time, Lin Yue led the team to close the score to within 5 points, but UCLA always took the lead.

"So far, although Davidson is trying to chase points, he can't overtake the score. UCLA's ability to control the field is very strong, which is the ability of a championship team."

As Barkley praised, as soon as Davidson has the momentum to overtake, Holland will change players according to the situation on the court. The coaches of strong teams are indeed not comparable to Davidson in this regard.

McKillop is also a good coach, but he is better at inspiring players from the heart.

"With Stephen Curry replaced this time, I don't know if Davidson can overtake the score in one fell swoop." Kenny Smith said.

With Curry on the court, Davidson shifted the focus of the game to him.

UCLA's fast break was intercepted by Richards and passed the ball to Curry. Everyone knows that Davidson's fast break usually ends with a fast three-pointer.

Therefore, Collison, who was put on the field to defend Curry, became the gate of the team's outside line, frequently reaching out to interfere with Curry's dribbling.

Curry retreated and made a direct shot two steps away from the three-point line. Collison, who reacted a little slower, never expected that he would withdraw his hand behind the three-point line and watched the opponent shoot from the spot.

"This ball is decisive enough. This is the gap between Stephen Curry and Redick. A real shooter is good at creating opportunities for himself." Barkley said with emotion.

Curry is such a player, you can catch him if you give him a chance, what if you don't give it?Then create it yourself.

Seeing the basketball piercing through the sky and entering the net, Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, this is a teammate. If he was on the opposite side, Lin Yue really didn't know how to stop such a player.

After Curry made a hit, he pointed his hands to where his parents were. His success is inseparable from the parents he has been cultivating.

The score was chased to only two points, and Holland reached out to signal the players to beat Curry.

It is Holland's idea to grab points while consuming energy. Whether it is Collison or Westbrook, it should be possible to force Curry with their physical fitness.

But the result was not as simple as he thought. Seeing Westbrook find Curry after switching defenses, the corners of Lin Yue's mouth rose slightly.

Only Lin Yue, who had soloed with him a few days ago, realized that Curry's defense has improved a lot compared to before, and he is no longer the player who will be overwhelmed by unlimited defense changes.

It was only then that Lin Yue knew that Curry had paid as much behind him as he did. In order to make Curry's physical measurement data look better, after communicating with Dell, McKillop formulated a set of core strength training for Curry.

Curry started exercising before the advent of "March Madness", but Lin Yue was kept in the dark.

He thought that Curry came back so late every night to go on a sweet date with Ayesha. It wasn't until Lin Yue realized that he could no longer easily get past him during the one-on-one a few days ago that he realized Curry's change.

When you become his opponent, you will experience the progress of the opponent firsthand.

Westbrook wanted to squeeze Curry's defense away with his body, but Curry did not lose his position and was still stuck preventing him from breaking through easily.

"What's wrong with him?" Westbrook could clearly feel hostility from Curry's eyes. Although he didn't understand the other party's intentions, he knew that the other party was in a state.

Westbrook can't see Love who Curry took the initiative to admit that he lobbed the ball to the inside.

If he can't score this goal no matter how strong he is, he will inevitably be sprayed by the coach during the halftime break.

Holland on the side didn't know Westbrook's intention of not forcing Curry.

"Could it be that my gesture was wrong?" Holland began to doubt himself.

Le Fuli used his body to resist Boris and then used the time difference to put the ball in.

"Davidson can't give Kevin Love an opportunity like that. Once he gets into the paint, his efficiency at the basket will cause Davidson a lot of trouble."

Barkley reminded the players off the court that they didn't know it, and Lin Yue also knew that if he wanted to overtake the score, he had to control the opponent's scoring while scoring himself.

This is called court relativity.

But this is not an easy task. UCLA can attack and defend. It makes sense that they can become the favorites to win the championship.

"Let's deal with the offense first."

After Lin Yue received a pass from Richards, he passed Josh Shipp who was defending him and made a layup. When he saw Kevin Love who was double-teaming, he suddenly scored to Curry who was running.

Westbrook, who guessed Lin Yue's move, broke the ball first.

"It seems that UCLA knows Davidson's offensive strategy very well, and they must have made a lot of preparations before the game." Barkley said.

After Westbrook steals, a one-stop dunk succeeds.

With only 20 seconds left for Davidson, they were 6 points behind their opponents.

"Who will handle Davidson's final attack." Kenny Smith couldn't guess.

Both Lin Yue and Curry are possible.

Lin Yue ran beyond the three-point line and asked for the ball. Although Richards was surprised, he still passed the ball.

"When did the coach arrange such a tactic?" Richards wondered. It was not a good choice for Lin Yue to attack from outside the three-point line. After all, everyone knew that he did not have a three-point range.

At least he didn't take a shot in the knockout round, and naturally no one thought he would shoot a three-pointer.

After Lin Yue received the ball, Josh Shipp ran outside the three-point line and followed closely. Mbah a Moute was behind him ready to defend at any time. They would not give Lin Yue a chance to break through this ball.

Curry is running, but Westbrook and Collison obviously won't give him an easy shot.

"How will he choose this ball?" Dell sat in the audience and watched Lin Yue's actions. Whether it was a single play or a pass to Curry, there was no good chance.

Lin Yue glanced and found that Curry was surrounded by two people. Curry signaled with his eyes not to pass the ball to him.

Lin Yue, who wanted to pass the ball, had no choice but to give up. After he dribbled past Josh Shipp, he was blocked by Mba Moot, and Shipp behind him also caught him.

"The ball is still in Lin Yue's hands, and there is only 5 seconds to attack." Barkley said loudly, his emotions also mobilized with Pisa.

Lin Yue had no choice but to jump up and throw the ball. He still remembered where Richards was standing just now. There should be no defenders in front of him.

Sure enough, Richards ran to receive the pass from Lin Yue. At this time, there was no one in front of him, and UCLA's attention was on other people.

Love fought with Boris inside, and Richards got a wide open three-pointer.

"Get rid of this ball, you must score!" Richards prayed to the sky at the moment of the shot. He used to be unable to even make the school team, but now he is standing on the stage of the NCAA semifinals, surrounded by future NBA stars, talented teammates and opponents. He knows that his parents, girlfriend, and those who used to look down on him are all paying attention to this game. He has no reason not to do something.

Richards looked at the three-point shot before the end of the game, and he didn't raise his voice until the moment he hit the net. He only left UCLA with less than 1 second of attack time.

In the end, Collison threw it away after receiving it, and the basketball flew higher than the basket to the auditorium.

Reality will tell you that Dali does not necessarily have a miracle.

The whistle sounded at halftime, and the Davidson Wildcats entered the second half with a three-point deficit, 46-49.
