Chapter 28 Defensive Ability at Critical Moments

The Sun Devils' second game is away to the University of Washington.

Although it is called this name, the university is not in Washington, but in Seattle. The full name is the University of Washington Seattle.

The strength of this school is stronger than Stanford University. They have Quincy Pondexter, who is famous in the draft list of major websites, and they are still predicted to be drafted in the first round.

Although the ranking is a bit low.

There are only 30 places in the first round every year. Even if the predictions for the last few positions of the major websites are not the same, there are at most 35 to 40 places for newcomers in the first round.

To be one of them, Quincy Ponderst's strength is self-evident.

And this guy is still a junior, he has played in the NCAA for three years, and his experience is also one of his advantages.

But Sandek is not worried about not being able to beat this team.

Of course, if he didn't go to Pittsburgh in the warm-up match, he might be a little worried about whether the away game would have an impact on Lin Ri, which would lead to his poor performance.

But after the warm-up game against Pittsburgh, he has no worries about this problem at all.

That game is enough to see that Lin Ri's performance will not be bad in the away game or at home. His mentality is very mature and he is a player who will not be disturbed by external factors.

At his age, this is really rare.

But Sandek didn't want to praise him for that in particular.

As far as his usual performance is concerned, it is only natural for him to be mature.Sandek really couldn't see any impetuousness from him.

Sandek believed that Lin Ri could perform as well as he did in the away game against Washington, and Lin Ri did not disappoint him. As soon as the "gunshot" fired in the second game of the regular season, this guy immediately slammed Washington's inside lanes. Just 11 minutes into the first half, this guy scored 11 points.

Scoring speed is like a race against the clock.

His active performance also allowed the Sun Devils to open the situation from the beginning of the game. At the end of the first half, they did not fall behind even a single round.

Leading all the way until the whistle sounded in the first half!

Get it!

Sandek was on the sidelines trying to doze off again.

But when he came back from the second half, Ponster started to exert his strength. He first relied on his personal ability to attack the rim continuously. Lin Ri's ability to protect the frame was very strong. In the first battle against Wake Forest, Jeff Teague and Aminu took turns to hit the basket.

But in these few rounds, Pontester put the ball in the basket again and again using his accumulated experience in the NCAA over the past three years.

The Sun Devils lost baskets one after another.

Washington breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the unexpected situation, Sandek didn't dare to take a nap anymore, and began to focus on using the candy-style wheel tactic against Pontester, who played well. Of course, he couldn't let Harden play this tactic.

Two tool people: ? ? ?
Is this what people say?

Pontester is a very good swingman in the second and third positions. His style of play is somewhat similar to that of the Cleveland emperor. He can be called the "poor man's version of LeBron James".

Of course, it is definitely impossible to make it through now.

After the players in position [-] and position [-] of the Sun Devils helped "relieve their strength", Pontester, who rushed in front of Lin Ri this time, apparently lost the momentum he had just had, and was easily entangled by Lin Ri.

However, Pontester's performance was not over. After being entangled by Lin Ri, this guy did not panic. He once again showed his rich experience. He passed the ball from a small angle against Lin Ri to his teammate inside, helping the latter complete the score.

This "magic stroke" attracted huge cheers from the fans of the University of Washington.

During his three years at the University of Washington, Poncast also made his alumni fans his fans.

I underestimated this guy!
At this time, Sandek officially changed his view of Pontester. This guy's immediate combat ability and judgment of the situation are all at the NBA level.

However, he did not change again.

The information he collected told him that Pontester is not the kind of player who can always make wonderful passes, which means that this time is very likely to be accidental.

It was also for this reason that he chose to wait and see.

Sure enough, Ponderst, who was about to do it again in the next attack, made a mistake. James Harden seized the opportunity to complete the "ghost break", and then Lin Ri "slammed into the sky", and the sound of dunks turned the auditorium into Cambridge in Xu Zhimo's poem.

Damn, this feels so good!

Lin Ri muttered something softly.

In the last away game against Pittsburgh, he also silenced the audience with a hanging frame dunk. At that time, there was a strange refreshment gushing from the bottom of his heart. This kind of refreshment was different from the excitement when he made a beautiful goal at home and caused the fans to scream.

Man's nature is to conquer!

Whatever it is to conquer!
They can all get a kick out of it!

The pleasure of conquering the away arena is not much less than the pleasure of conquering women in Lin Ri's opinion.

He didn't know if he was right or not, but he loved it.

Especially at this moment, when this feeling resurfaced again, he really felt an inexplicable power bursting out of his body, which made him eager to do something to vent this power.

And at this moment, Washington's No. [-] position successfully slipped the baseline and ran out of space. At the same time, the ball was passed to him in time, and he was going to layup!

"Unlucky Kid" is locked!

Lin Ri focused his eyes on him while he was taking the ball, but this guy only had the basket in his eyes after taking the ball, and he didn't know that "disaster is coming".

"Bah!"

The moment the guy threw the ball for a layup, the moment the ball left his hand, Lin Ri's slap followed closely and nailed the racket to the backboard.

There were some low voices from the auditorium, which had been quiet because of Lin Ri's buckle:

"really?"

"This guy……"

"Is this a joke?"

Lin Ri nailed the big hat, refreshing the University of Washington fans' perception of the "beast".

The bench of the entire Sun Devils was uproarious.

Lin Ri, who started to land, grabbed the ball in his arms, and then accurately saw James Harden, who had started to come down, and passed the ball.

When this guy saw Lin Ri chasing towards Washington's No. [-] position, he immediately started to get off.

He believes that Lin Ri will definitely block shots and grab rebounds.

As for the reason... There is no reason, just trust!

"Bah!"

James Harden held the ball firmly and made an easy layup.

Two consecutive waves of scoring, still scoring goals with such momentum, this made Washington's momentum suddenly vented just because of Pontester's explosive performance.

The Sun Devils regained control of the situation.

With 1 minute and 35 seconds left before the end, Pontester held the ball and played the team's most critical attack. With this goal, they will recover the point difference to only 6 points. If the goal is not scored and the point difference is maintained at 8 points, with the NCAA's 35-second attack time per round, and only 1 minute left, it may be difficult to catch up with the point difference.

This attack was crucial, and Poundster was also very cautious in his attack, but Lin Ri accurately predicted the timing of his breakthrough. The latter got stuck on the route of his breakthrough and forced him to stop his breakthrough.

When the ball fell into the hands of Steve Jones on the outside, and he quickly completed the linkage score with James Harden, it was declared that there was no suspense in this game.

The University of Washington gave up struggling and waited for the end of the game. In the end, the Sun Devils defeated Washington 78 to 68, and the regular season started with two consecutive victories.

James Harden scored more than 25 points in this game again, making him the highest scoring player of the two teams.

Lin Ri's performance was also very good, with 20 points and 14 rebounds. Today he also combined shooting and attacking at the basket. Both methods played their effects, which caused a headache for the opponent.

Of course, the means he really uses to change the situation today is his ability on the defensive end!
A player who can invest more on the defensive end at critical moments is a player who can use defense to change the situation of the game...

This is the new evaluation written by the scouts who are interested in Lin Ri in the scouting report on Lin Ri in this game.

In this game, Lin Ri brought them a new surprise-his defensive ability at critical moments is becoming more and more conspicuous!
In the warm-up match against Pittsburgh, the picture of Lin Ri blocking Blair at the last moment of the game still appeared in front of their eyes. They did not expect Lin Ri to contribute a wonderful block at the most critical moment in this game.

Although the Sun Devils led by 1 points at 35:8, even if Pontester scored that layup, the Sun Devils would not necessarily lose, but the importance of this block is not low, at least it made the last 1:35 of the game meaningless.

In addition, Lin Ri's key block was not just this time. His peg board cap that made the audience cry can also be called "a cap that changed the situation", because the Sun Devils' momentum during that period started from that goal.

He has only played 3 warm-up games and 2 regular season games, and he has changed the situation of the game through defense one after another. It is really not an exaggeration to say "he is a player who can use defense to change the situation of the game".

At the same time, the ESPN website updated a post-"The "Dark Horse" Has Appeared?The Arizona State Sun Devils have a beast inside! "
