Chapter 26 vs. Morgan State

The NCAA championship is called March Madness, and the game time is from mid-March to early April. During this period, even the regular season of the NBA has to make way for the NCAA. Every NCAA has more crazy fans than the NBA. The NCAA wants to compete with the NBA. It's a purer basketball league, since the NCAA prohibits student-athletes from receiving payments and gifts.But at the same time, the NCAA has higher advertising revenue than the NBA.After entering the Final Four, the advertising effect is simply explosive, and it has a good promotion for the entire university, so many schools will have high support for the NCAA.

The next game was Game 21 of the tournament, against Morgan State University, a typical preppy basketball school with a lot of passing and everyone shooting. The team featured two juniors, Kafez and Phil. Yang is the core pick-and-roll, running and passing.In the end, he made it through with 13 wins and 15 losses, and entered the top sixteen of the Eastern District as the No. 15 seed.Although it is only a No. 15 seed, the enthusiasm of the fans at the game site is no less than that of Memphis fans.After all, it is not uncommon for the No. [-] seed to overthrow the No. [-] seed. A game that determines the outcome, and now the Timberwolves, the weakest in the league, may also overthrow the Cavaliers, so it is the same in the NCAA. A game that determines the outcome is even more important. Extra caution is required.

At the very beginning, Morgan State gave the Memphis Tigers a bad start. Kafez and Phil Young hit mid-range shots after consecutive pick-and-rolls, showing their good touch and confidence in winning today.But soon Memphis launched a counterattack. Cousins ​​showed good dominance in the paint.Under the mutual testing of the two sides, the first quarter ended at 16:15. Morgan State University temporarily led by one point. Morgan State University rejoiced. Obviously, leading a second-seeded team made them very happy, but Memphis’s The fans are really not in a hurry, because the core they trust the most, the Asian, hasn't started yet.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Memphis used the signature DDM tactics to play a game. He Yixiang broke through quickly, and at the same time all teammates ran together. At the moment of double-teaming, the ball flew like a bolt of lightning to Zach's goal In his hand, he scored two points with a direct layup. Coach John Calipari nodded. He is quite satisfied with the implementation of this tactic. His tactic is an excellent display of the talent of this breakthrough guard. This is why many talented guards want to join his team, because this way they can show their talents to the NBA to their heart's content.And in this quarter, He Yixiang completely let the scouts in the stands see his talent, three-pointers, mid-range shots with an emergency stop, and passes from various tricky angles after breaking through. 13 points and 4 assists in a single quarter directly blew up Morgan State. A single quarter victory of 13 points, the score also came to 47:35.

"You played well, students, keep it up. In the second half, why don't you take a break first, focus on Cousins, and exercise his singles ability." Coach John Calipari also decided to try other games Tactics, strengthen the role of Cousins, dare to try new tactics in the game of 64 to 32, only this kind of coach who leads by more than ten points at halftime and has absolute confidence in his team dares to do so.

In the second half, Morgan State University saw that Memphis had let He Yixiang rest off the court, and the players on the field couldn't help being indignant: Well, I can't beat you, I admit it, but you took a rest after halftime?We are also the team that broke into the championship anyway.Relying on the transformation of this angry mood, Memphis was really suppressed at the beginning and played a 6:2 climax.But that's all. Cousins, the inside behemoth, recovered. First, he faced the opponent's center with a continuous fake movement of shaking his shoulders. Finding the field on Cousins, even though the catch after the pick-and-roll had already thrown Cousins ​​away by a position, Cousins' powerful explosive power made him chase back abruptly, and he was a big hit. Cap, Cousins' performance was far from over, he directly took the ball that was covered by him on the ground, and began to advance quickly.The center forward went straight to the fast break, which stunned everyone's eyes. Not only that, but also a heavy dunk after avoiding Kafez's steal by luck on the way.Fans throughout Memphis stood up and cheered, and the beauties of the cheerleaders all gave Cousins ​​a wink. Even He Yixiang and coach John Calipari, who were most familiar with him, were stunned.

Not only Cousins' personal offense, he also held the ball and broke through the opponent's big center. When the opponent defended, it was a three-pointer to pass the ball to Hudson.Coach John Calipari smiled and said to He Yixiang after watching the ball: "He, be careful, you have a new competitor in point guard."

"It's okay, then I will be the team's starting center in the future, and my inside wobble is also very strong." He Yixiang was also not to be outdone. He did not expect that in the year he left Cousins, he would grow up when he led the team alone. After so much, these singles and points must have been developed in the year when I didn't see him, and I have a warm feeling in my heart.

Even though He Yixiang was off the field, the game was still firmly in the hands of Memphis, and He Yixiang never played again.In the end, the Memphis Tigers beat Morgan State University 74:52. Among them, He Yixiang scored 18 points and 6 assists in the half, and Cousins ​​​​had 25 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists in the game. The dominance of a lineup of big favorites.Cousins ​​was also named the game's MVP.

"Cousins, that's amazing, he can pass such a flamboyant ball." He Yixiang joked to Cousins ​​after accepting the MVP interview.

Cousins ​​decisively put away the smiling face that he had just won the MVP, and turned into an aggrieved expression: "I can't help it, the point guard of the high school team is gone, and I was forced to learn so many point guards." skills."

With great difficulty, Chen Weidong squeezed in with all his strength. This was also embarrassing for a girl, and she was extremely reluctant to find his old friend: "What do you think about this game?"

"My lead point guard position is dangerous"

This sentence simply murdered many brain cells of Chen Weidong, what the fuck? What are you talking about?Can you answer my question?But the opponent was a big name that he couldn't afford to offend, so he had to ask cautiously: "Who is that? Can he take your place?"

"No, that big black fat guy, just now you didn't see how well he plays with the team! Oh, I'm going to play center forward."

Chen Weidong literally had 1 dicks running through his heart, editor-in-chief, I want to go home, I miss my mother.
