King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 30 Cousins' Outbreak in the Battle of Kentucky
"Kevin, He's performance in the first quarter was more impressive than Wall's. You lost. You can't compare to me in terms of guards. After all, I am a talented guard like them." Miller revealed A smug smile, usually in TNT, this guy often used the three championship rings he got to laugh at him, now such a good opportunity, today's game can't let him go.

As Reggie Miller's predecessor and the winner of three championships, McHale must not lose his position in this live broadcast across the United States. The combination of combat power, they must have their own ability to be regarded by the NBA. In this quarter, Wall and He Yixiang will definitely rest. It is time to see the strength of others, and this quarter will be divided Poor." McHale's tone was very determined.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second quarter, Kentucky replaced Wall and Bledsoe, who fought fiercely in the first quarter, but He Yixiang still stayed on the court.Others in Kentucky began to explode. Patterson used his nimble footwork to hit Memphis power forward Brown one after another.Coach John Calipari was also very helpless. He seized his opponent's strengths and beat him violently. This is what he thought would happen before the game, but he didn't expect that the opponent would go so smoothly. After scoring several times, the score that was so difficult to lead in the first quarter was tied in an instant.

"Reggie, read what I said? Kentucky doesn't just have Bledsoe and Wall. Memphis still shouldn't have He Yixiang on the court, even if He Yixiang rests, they may collapse." McHale seems to have seen this. In the future of this game, even if Wall loses personally, Kentucky will still not lose.The most important team's victory, thinking of this, the corner of McHale's mouth floated into the first smile since He Yixiang's two three-pointers.

"He, you take a break? I'll attack, don't forget the first game, I'm not the same Cousins ​​now." Looking at He Yixiang who was already panting a bit, Wall and Bledsoe on the other side had already The rotation is off to rest, and if He Yixiang is allowed to play, will he still be able to hold out in the fourth quarter?

He Yixiang was a little dumbfounded. He and Cousins ​​had always held the ball in the past, but now Cousins ​​has made great progress in the year he left. It seems that he still underestimated the potential of this guy before, and asked the coach to take his own initiative. Change, next, it depends on your performance.

"He, do you have so much confidence in him?" Coach John Calipari saw that He Yixiang took the initiative to replace him, but he obviously didn't expect it, because He Yixiang was the starting point of his tactics. When there was Rose before, there was CD Roberts. , and now he has only He Yixiang alone, and every time he is close to filling the audience.

"I can't help it. The two people on the opposite side are really strong. If I don't widen the gap, I may really not be able to hold on without physical strength."

Cousins ​​is also worthy of being a big killer inside. The moment he caught the ball, he turned his back and left the cumbersome Alton behind, scoring two points with an easy wipe. "It's too slow, too slow, don't try to defend me like this." Alton's top defense is okay, but facing Cousins, who has skills, footwork, and speed, is obviously a bit powerless .Seeing this goal, coach John Calipari's heart temporarily stabilized, as long as He Yixiang didn't fall behind too much when he was off the court.Cousins ​​faced Alton directly at the top of the arc in the next round, and accelerated the breakthrough directly. Alton couldn't catch up with Cousins ​​at all. Anyone who watched the game against Morgan State knew that Cousins' dribbling skills were extremely good. That's right, I rushed in and dunked it directly, roaring, He, watch it!I will not let them succeed, I must stick to it until you come back.

"Two-team him, don't let him score so easily, and Alton, if you let him turn around so easily, you can rest." Kentucky's coach roared angrily on the sidelines. I am extremely dissatisfied with being able to open the score difference.

As soon as Cousins ​​received the ball in the low post, the outside double-team came directly. If Cousins ​​was allowed to play singles easily inside, God knows what would happen.But Cousins ​​seemed to know that the opponent was going to double-team. He passed the ball directly to Anderson who was open without looking at the pass. Anderson scored easily and scored his first goal of the game.He Yixiang rolled his eyes when he saw the ball, and muttered: "Damn, the ball I passed won't score, discrimination." But his heart is still happy for Cousins, he is enough to become a real core Now, even if he is not on the first team in the NBA in the future, he will shine with his own brilliance.

Although Kentucky's overall level is higher, Memphis also has Cousins, a big killer inside. Memphis is playing well under the influence of Cousins. They are not afraid of offense inside, but they are afraid of passing the ball inside. Cousins Not only can it be used as a killer for inside attack, but it can also be used as the axis of transit.With him as the center, three turrets are emitted, and everyone has a projection.Such a simple tactic just made Kentucky a little helpless. It wasn't until Patterson's defense that Cousins ​​restrained a little.

At this time, 5 minutes before halftime, Wall and He Yixiang played again, and Kentucky still did not widen the point difference.But even if He Yixiang came up, Cousins ​​still continued to attack with the ball. Since the effect is good, let's continue to implement it, and by the way, Cousins ​​can also come to see what I have learned newly!Bypassing the pick-and-roll that Zach gave him, He Yixiang received a pass from Cousins, and once again hit his soul, Wall jumped in anger.The next round was also the last attack of the first half. He Yixiang made an air cut again and received a pass from Cousins. Facing Alton's supplementary defense, he passed back to Cousins ​​at the moment of receiving the ball. Cousins ​​relaxed Score.This ball fully demonstrated the extreme tacit understanding between the two, and Memphis still entered the second half with a 4-point lead.

"It's not just Kentucky. Cousins ​​is also good in Memphis. He can attack and pass, has skills, and strength, right? And these two people really have a tacit understanding. For many NBA teams that want to rebuild, give Remind me, if you win them both at once, there will be surprises." For the center who had 10 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, Miller was not hesitant to praise him.

McHale has been so angry that he can't talk, not only with the Chinese, but also with the whole of Memphis. It was not like this when he played with the Celtics! Suddenly remembered, when he was killing all directions, there was no gray What about the Bears team?It seems that it is necessary to make a report like the above in the future and refuse to explain all the games of the Grizzlies.
