I have a data panel in basketball

Chapter 58
"The Louisville Cardinals are a very balanced team with Edgar Sol and Terrence Williams on the outside and Earl Clark on the inside..."

There was more than an hour before entering the field, and Lin Ri once again turned over all the information collected by the Sun Devils scouts on the three core players of the Cardinals.

"Edgar Sol is the No. [-] position of the Cardinals, but his style of play is more like a No. [-] who runs without the ball and specializes in shooting. Terrence Williams is responsible for the organization of the Cardinals. This is a very versatile player with amazing physical fitness.

James has to suffer again.

Lin Ri looked at what Terrence Williams wrote in the report, and it became clear that he was an excellent swingman seed. James Harden had a little difficulty defending the second and third positions.

What I'm meeting now is the guy who is extremely versatile and has excellent physical fitness in the second and third positions this year, so it's strange not to suffer.

"Earl Clarke is called a genius insider. He has unlimited possibilities. In the evaluation of many NBA scouts, there is such a passage: Earl Clarke has never been a passionate player. He is a very dull person on and off the court. Sometimes you can even feel that he has no interest in basketball. But this has nothing to do with his personality. He is a very humble guy and can accept criticism and correction. It’s just that he lacks vigor, which may be the same as him on the basketball court since he was a child. It is related to smooth sailing, his ability allows him to easily solve opponents most of the time, and he has not encountered a real opponent until college, which has caused him to be inactive on the court today, but his potential never needs to be doubted.”

This guy... is really awesome!
This is the fifth time Lin Day has seen the scouting report on Earl Clark.

This guy is also in the fourth position. He is the player who will face him for the whole game today, so he naturally needs to pay more attention.

Every time Lin Ri saw a scouting report about this guy, he would involuntarily exclaim, "This guy is awesome!"

It’s no wonder he has such an idea, because a whole paragraph of this article is written in a simple sentence: This guy’s potential is great, even if he realizes his potential now, he can solve most of his opponents.

This evaluation is too high!

It is equivalent to saying that if Lin Ri did not appear, this guy would play casually, and he would become the fourth position with the most potential after Griffin this year.

Can Lin Ri not be emotional?
"Able to shoot suddenly, with a long range...Is this also an all-around guy? And it's the first time I have encountered a four-position with long-range shooting ability. This game is really difficult!"

Lin Ri read all the information about Earl Clark, combined with the entire information of Terrence Williams and Edgar Sol, even if he didn't watch the Cardinals game, he could imagine how this team played.

Terrence Williams holds the ball to look for opportunities, or gives the ball to Earl Krall for singles. If neither of them has a chance, then give the ball to Edgar Sol, who is floating on the outside, for a long shot... Just thinking about it, this tactic is enough to sweep two-thirds of the teams in the NCAA.

Of course, Lin Ri must have watched the past game videos of this team this season. This team is the style of play he can think of after reading these materials, and there are more complicated runs than Lin Ri thought. The tacit understanding between the three cores of this team is also very high.

It's not easy to fight!

Lin Ri muttered something again, and re-read the materials of these three guys from the beginning.

While watching, his brain was also running rapidly, and he was thinking about how to play this game.

"Jeff, you must perform well in this game. I hope you can catch all the shots you should make. Tonight is your battle of proof!"

Facing a strong enemy, Sandek chose to put pressure on Jeff. The Cardinals have a "three cores". Although the Sun Devils are more well-known to the outside world as James Harden and Lin Ri, they also have the capital to play a "three cores".

Haha, it's really gone, gone, with Lin Ri's joining, I have forgotten all the "hard times" of last year.

Even the NCAA's top combat power like the second-round pick can be ignored...

However, with the battle imminent, Sandek finally "remembered" Jeff, so it was just right, James Harden faced Terrence Williams, Lin Ri faced Earl Clark, and then Jeff and Saul "exchanged".

perfect!

Sandek "Venusized".

……

Like the audience in the previous two games, the fans who came to the Thomas and Mack Center Arena today also shouted Lin Ri's name in unison when the two teams were warming up.

Lin Ri, like the previous two games, contributed a not-so-difficult slam dunk, detonating the cheers of the audience.

It also gave Louisville head coach Rick Pitino the inspiration to encourage his players in the near future: "See? The sun, the absolute super rookie this season, look at the sensation he caused, which proves his influence, and now, what we have to do is to end all of this and let this guy's NCAA journey stop here. If he still wants to win the cup, then he has to stay in the NCAA for one more year. If you do this, Louisville's goal this year is the NCAA championship trophy, and now, let's get rid of a super rookie with unlimited potential! Trust me, it will be very interesting!"

There is no doubt that Rick Pitino is a good "chicken soup master".

After he said these words, the entire Cardinals team was excited, especially Terrence Williams, who couldn't wait to get on the field and kill the sun.

Rick Pitino glanced at Earl Clark subconsciously. Compared with Terrence Williams, this guy is a more critical point tonight.

Only if he has the fighting spirit in this game and can bring enough trouble to Lin Ri, can they have a greater possibility of taking the victory away in this game.

But if this guy has no fighting spirit as usual.

Then this game is not very easy to play.

In fact, he said so much before the game, and the more purpose was to stimulate enough fighting spirit in Earl Clarke. Unfortunately, when he looked at Earl Clarke, the guy looked as usual. Obviously, for this guy, this game is no different from previous games.

Trouble!
Rick Pitino said something in his heart.

There wasn't much discoloration on his face, though.

Fortunately, the game has just started, and he still has other opportunities to motivate Earl Clark and wake up this guy's fighting spirit.

……

The 08-09 NCAA "March Madness" 16-to-8 competition started amid cheers from the scene.

Lin Ri just used a dunk to make the fans collectively "cool".

Now even if Lin Ri just grabbed the initiative, in the eyes of these guys, it is as if he has already completed the dunk, which makes their blood boil.

"With the sun, there will be no neutral arena in the true sense. This guy is really attractive to the fans!"

ESPN reporters Charles and Rachel stood on the sidelines and felt the cheers for Lin Ri from the sidelines, and couldn't help but praise.

Rachel nodded slightly, appreciative of that.

The two of them are reporters who have been on the sidelines to follow up and report since the first game of the Sun Devils regular season. They are also the first reporters to conduct an exclusive interview with the sun.

Of course, judging from the current results, this interview has benefited them a lot. Charles has more internal rights, and the word "internship" in front of Rachel's intern reporter was directly removed.

And because she completed the exclusive interview with the sun at the beginning, and compared with Lin Ri's attitude towards other interview reporters sent by ESPN later, ESPN will receive a little special treatment in front of Lin Ri only when she goes to interview.

Back then, the practice of "fighting" to interview Lin Ri made the two of them earn enough dividends.

And they also witnessed Lin Ri's entire transformation from being unknown to being well-known in the United States, especially after the arrival of "March Madness", the reputation of the sun has been rising steadily, and now they have become phenomenon-level newcomers!
In the history of the NCAA, there has never been a player who can make the audience chant his name in unison before every game in "March Madness".

Lynn did it!

This guy is so charming!

Lin Ri gave the ball to James Harden, Harden held the ball across the center line, and Lin Ri made a pick-and-roll for him directly from a high position.

In this game, the two of them played pick-and-roll tactics as soon as they came up.

This is a routine that is not common for the usual Sun Devils.

It also shows the importance they attach to the Cardinals.

James Harden got rid of Terrence Williams smoothly, but was delayed by Earl Clarke while entering the inside line. He could only adjust his dribbling rhythm and slowly brought Earl Clarke one step inside the three-point line.

He doesn't plan to play Earl Clark in singles. This guy's flexibility is very good even in the NBA's fourth position. Facing such a guy, even if he can make a breakthrough in singles, it will be too difficult.

What he was waiting for was Lin Ri's seat, and he was helping Lin Ri to open up space.

He and Earl Clark are misaligned, and Terrence Williams and Lin Ri are also misaligned. "Small outside hits big, inside big hits small."

At best, he is a sack on Lin Ri's body, which can make Lin Ri inconvenient, but this is the limit.

Lin Ri took the ball from a long distance before entering the basket.

After catching the ball, the whole body didn't stop at all, just squeezed in, walked two steps slowly, raised his hand and smashed the ball towards the backboard, with a good rebound angle, the ball fell steadily into the basket.

The layup ability has officially changed from C+ to B-, and Lin Ri is no longer afraid of layups in confrontation.

Before putting it aside, he probably had to stop after receiving the ball, regain his position, and then go to the basket. Compared with now, that movement was somewhat incoherent, and it was easy to be double-teamed into a dead ball.

Well now, his whole movement is smooth and coherent.

If you want to stop him, your opponent needs to focus more on him.

The Cardinals conceded a goal first, but this did not have any impact on them.

The game has just begun, and it is not considered a lead until the end.

Terrence Williams took the ball directly from the backcourt, quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, broke through and gave the ball to Earl Clark who was standing outside the three-point line. This guy faced Lin Ri and shot a three-pointer without hesitation.

Although Lin Ri knew that this guy was capable of three-pointers, he was really not used to defending such a long distance. After coming to the NCAA, he had never defended such a long distance before, and he really didn't expect this guy's three-pointers to be so decisive.

"Shh!"

The ball crashed into the net.

Earl Clark turned his head back to defend. During this period, he didn't look at Lin Ri more, as if he didn't know that standing in front of him was the sun, the most popular super rookie in the league, but just a random passerby.

It will really be... a tough game!
Lin Ri stared at Earl Clark's back, his expression became more serious.

　Thank you friend, do you have a lot of question marks on the 1000 coins yesterday, I forgot to thank you, sorry...

　　Then continue to ask for recommendation tickets. After 7000 passes, can we directly get 8000 tickets today? It seems that the appetite is a bit big, and I started to think about getting 1 recommendation tickets in a day.
