I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 44 Playing the most anxious game ever

"Anthony relied on his personal ability to succeed in mid-range jumpers. Lee's defense is already very good, but he still can't stop Anthony who feels hot."

"Oh! The Marquette Golden Eagles quickly launched a counterattack. With the cover of his teammates, Lee made an emergency stop and hit a mid-range jumper, and he returned the favor."

"Haha, Anthony was careless this time. I didn't expect to shake out of the shooting space or be ruthlessly blocked by Li."

"The Golden Eagles counterattacked quickly, Wade assisted Lee and hit a three-pointer!"

In the on-site commentary booth, Barkley and Kenny Smith quickly explained the progress of the game. Because the game was too fast, they could only comment on the highlights.

In the auditorium, the scouts of each team gathered together to discuss the relevant content of this game.

"Cameron deserves to be the candidate to compete with James for the No. [-] pick. There are too many offensive methods, making it impossible for defenders to deal with it."

"You only see Anthony's advantages and ignore his shortcomings. In this game, because of his careless defense, Lee scored a lot of points easily, and Lee's defense is good enough tonight. Anthony's shots are basically difficult moves. .”

"It seems that you only pay attention to the players. Didn't you find Marquette University's defensive strategy very interesting?"

"What do you say, I really found something interesting. The head coach of Marquette University is very unusual."

"What are you talking about, I don't understand why." The Knicks scout interjected.

"Idiot, that guy Dolan is really stupid and has a lot of money. He hired you, a guy who doesn't understand anything, as a scout."

"Okay, let's get back to the topic, anyway, we are all colleagues, save some face."

After finishing the peacemaker, the scout continued: "This final is indeed very interesting. Although the points difference between the two teams is not too big, and they look evenly matched, but after careful observation, it can be found that Syracuse University basically relies on individual singles to score. , There was no cooperation at all, and Marquette University's offense was very smooth, and the cooperation was very tacit, and the judgment was judged."

"If Syracuse University's shooting rate drops, it will definitely be opened up by Marquette University. At that time, we can see how Anthony handles it. This is very worth writing in the scouting report."

After hearing this, the other scouts nodded their heads in agreement, and then refocused their attention on the field of play, inspecting their favorite players.

At the same time, in the VIP box, the NBA leaders who came to watch the game discussed some things.

"Our first goal is to investigate Wade. This will not change. If other teams are interested in the chips I give, I think we can do something. Winning two lottery picks should be able to complete the goal. said Riley with a smile.

"Sir, other teams are not stupid. They don't trade lottery picks in the draft year." Erik Spoelstra responded truthfully.

"Eric, people have dreams. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they come true? We won't suffer if we try it, and see if any idiots are fooled." After Riley finished speaking, he looked at the display screen in the box again. live broadcast of the game.

In a box not far away, a middle-aged man and an old man stared at a player on the screen and discussed.

"His defensive ability has been improved a step further. Before the Elite 8, he certainly did not have such an excellent defense. You must know that Anthony's offensive level has reached the level of an NBA starter."

"I have watched his games every game, and he has indeed improved a lot. I think with his performance, a first-round pick may not be enough, but his skills are flawed, and his ranking will definitely not be high, but a lottery pick Still worth it."

"This is difficult to handle. With the team's record, we can't get a lottery pick this year, so we can only try to trade, and the people sent out found out that there are many teams interested in this little guy. It's not that easy for him."

"It depends on human effort, how will you know if you don't try." After the two finished speaking, they refocused their eyes on the competition field.

During the discussion among these bigwigs, the game on the court was extremely intense.

About 15 minutes into the first half, the score on the court was 36:30, and the Marquette Golden Eagles led by 6 points.

Syracuse University has the ball, and Anthony holds the ball near the high 45° angle on the right for post-up singles.

Li Xuan defended very tightly, entangled Anthony tightly, and did not give him room to turn around and shoot.

Anthony released the ball and slowly pushed Li Xuan back towards the penalty area. When he came to the shooting area, he suddenly exerted force, knocked Li Xuan away with his shoulder, and turned over for a jumper.

Li Xuan was knocked back a step and immediately rushed forward to interfere with the shot.

Bang bang!Fight with anger!
This was Anthony's first miss of the game.

It may be caused by the decline in physical strength after intense physical confrontation. After all, people are not robots, and they will also get tired.

Li Xuan smiled when he saw this, and his hard work finally paid off. It is impossible to maintain a super high shooting rate in high-intensity games.

Under the basket, Maynard grabbed the rebound and passed it to Dinard to advance with a dribble.

Dinard dribbled the ball to Wade half court and ran toward the corner.

After receiving the ball, Wade quickly made a dribble breakthrough and rushed to the basket. After a physical confrontation with the center of Syracuse University, he went out of the frame for a layup and failed to score.

If the ball can be scored 100% when Wade is physically strong, but after strengthening the physical confrontation, the physical strength will be consumed rapidly, and everyone will be affected.

Syracuse University protected the rebound, and Hart dribbled forward without rushing, and came to the top of the arc to organize an attack.

Anthony ran to the previous position again, leaning against Li Xuan to ask for the ball.

At this moment, Li Xuan was in a good mood, and asked, "Bad boy, do you still have the energy to hit back, don't you save your energy for jump shots?"

Anthony, who was in charge of the position, was a little confused for a while. How could this guy behind me know my background? I have been keeping a low profile for the sake of the draft.

After reacting, he said duplicity: "I don't know what you are talking about. I have enough physical strength. If I can't resist, I can switch to defend. I don't mind."

Anthony also didn't want to get entangled with Li Xuan, it was too physically demanding, logically speaking, the guy behind him was even more physically demanding, but he didn't feel Li Xuan panting, secretly thinking that it was another physical monster, comparable to that chimpanzee.

Taking advantage of Anthony's distracted speech, Li Xuan quickly turned around and came to him.

At this time, Hart had already passed the ball, and Li Xuan stretched out his arm to catch the basketball in the air, fearing that Anthony would counterattack, he quickly passed it out.

When Anthony saw this, he gritted his teeth angrily. He never expected that Li Xuan would talk trash to him, and suffered a miserable loss for no reason.

"I will definitely return it, just wait and see!"

After Anthony spoke harshly in the direction where Li Xuan was leaving, he squatted down to tie his shoelaces very consciously.

Offensive and defensive conversion!

Marquette University launched a fast break, Wade dribbled forward quickly, changed direction in front of the Syracuse University player who fell back to the defense, and then rushed into the penalty area.

In order to maintain his strength, Wade did not stage the explosive dunk he is good at, and ended the attack with a civilian layup.

On the sidelines, Syracuse University coach Jim Boheim saw that Anthony was in a bad state, so he immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to rearrange tactics.
