King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 28 The decisive battle against Kentucky, the face-slapping three-pointer

The Wildcats of the University of Kentucky, the team that has won the second most championships in history, is undoubtedly a basketball giant, and has sent a lot of talents to the NBA. Most of them are from this university.And this year they have five players who are optimistic about the NBA: John Wall, Eric Bledsoe, Darius Miller, Patrick Patterson, Daniel Orton.After entering the championship, Kentucky made a bold statement, not only to win the championship, but also to allow all five players to participate in this year to enter the first round.

"Tch, just that Bledsoe? Didn't you blow up high school? And that Alton, the best defensive center this year? I'll let him understand what offense is." Cousins ​​heard The media's praise of Kentucky seems to be dismissive. With the combination of He Yixiang and I, all the starting five tigers will be destroyed one by one.

Compared with Cousins' optimism, Hudson's assistant coach frowned while watching the training players on the field: "John, what do you think, the opposite lineup is a bit strong. The strongest NCAA in one session."

However, Coach John Calipari acted as if the overall situation had been settled and Zhizhu was in his hands: "Indeed, in terms of the lineup, they are really fucking strong, but if you look at them, the only person who is accurate outside is Daliu Miller, and I still believe in Zach’s defense, he will not have a good chance. Wall and Bledsoe’s three-point ability is not strong, two breakthrough guards, and center Orr I can only say that if the opponent dares to hang in, Cousins ​​will reward him with his offensive ability. As long as the defensive circle is shrunk enough, they will have a headache." But even though he is so sure, he is also silent in his heart A premise was added, that is, He Yixiang must lock Wall up.But looking at the yellow-skinned boy who was seriously training his defensive steps, he was full of confidence again.It's not like he hasn't trained such a talented defender before. Rose, the best rookie of last season, this year's All-Star player, and Evans, who has already booked the best rookie this year, are all from his hands, but he never I have never seen a defender who is so talented and trains so hard. It's not that they don't work hard, but that He Yixiang is working so hard.At least 300 three-pointers per day is what those two guys can't do, otherwise they wouldn't be criticized for their three-pointers now.If I had to name someone with a similar level of effort, it would be the man who is said to have seen Los Angeles at [-] a.m. every day.

The semi-finals are finally here. Unlike the previous home games where they waited for work, this time the game is at the Kentucky home court of the Joe Craft Center. Kentucky is a basketball giant, and the basketball atmosphere is obviously very strong. The uniformed Kentucky fans shouted the same slogan: "go go go Kentucky." It seemed extremely majestic, and even Cousins, who was not afraid of anything, was a little confused at this time, muttering: "It's so loud!" Many freshman and sophomore players said A bit disturbed, only Zach, Anderson, and He Yixiang looked normal. Zach and Anderson are okay. These two have experienced Memphis against Kansas in 08. They led by 9 points in the last minute and a half but were chased. After overtime, they finally came back. After a game, their hearts were extremely tough, but He Yixiang was also so calm. Coach John Calipari showed a satisfied smile. Since he is not affected, let's just wait and see.

As a game broadcast live across the United States, TNT is also jointly commented by Reggie Miller and Kevin McHale. "Reggie, you are one of the best guards in NBA history. Who do you like as the guards of these two teams?"

"Me? Of course I like the Chinese better? As for why, when I saw him shooting three-pointers, I felt like I was shooting three-pointers. The shots were fast and accurate. As for Wall, a guard who has not yet developed a three-pointer In my mind, I can’t be considered a qualified guard.” As one of the best three-pointers in NBA history, Miller stood on He Yixiang’s side without hesitation.Speaking of which, Reggie Miller is also a tragic figure. At the peak of his career, he met the No.1 Jordan in history for the last three consecutive championships. Finally, after Jordan retired, he met the most dominant player in history. The three consecutive championships of the duo "OK combination".Although there is a miracle of 8.9 seconds and 8 points, it is his regret that he has not won a ring in his entire career. Since she joined TNT, he has a special feeling for players with three-point accuracy every time he explains. preference.

"I don't think so. Wall's strength, speed, and breakthrough ability are all more advantageous, and his defense is also top-notch. I can guarantee that under Wall's defense, He Yixiang may not have a chance to shoot a three-pointer." McHale I am more optimistic about Wall. TNT has always been like this. It is impossible for two commentators to clearly support the same person. Otherwise, how can you let the audience relax in an exciting basketball game without bickering between the two commentators.

Cousins ​​easily jumped to the ball, He Yixiang received the ball and ran to the frontcourt quickly while the opponent was unable to retreat and directly made a three. The basketball entered the net with a perfect arc. "Tch, is it quite accurate?" Wall looked at He Yixiang who ran back to his own half with a cold expression.However, McHale in the commentary was a little embarrassed. He only let out his bold words before the game. Just scored the first three-pointer.

"Kevin, although my memory is not very good, I will never forget what you said 5 minutes ago." Miller looked at McHale with a smirk on his face, and was very happy that He Yixiang let McHale deflate at the beginning , As expected of the three-point shooter I am optimistic about, it is so accurate and unreasonable.

"That doesn't count. It's a quick transition. He has absolutely no chance in a positional battle." As a TNT commentator, how could he have a thick skin?McHale quickly saw why.

But just in the next round, He Yixiang faced Wall with a tentative step, then took a step in and quickly retreated, scoring another three-pointer. A perfect 6-0 start, certainly not just for Memphis but for Miller vs. McHale. "It's only 1 minute this time, I think I remember correctly?" Miller's gloating smile this time made the whole American people couldn't help laughing.McHale was a little depressed and had nothing to say. It seems that he is not suitable to be a commentator today. If he knew it, he would have let Barkley's big mouth come. His shameless skills are still inferior to him.
