Chapter 150 Insider Crisis
After eliminating Syracuse University, the entire Sun Devil team did not stay in Miami to rest, but immediately rushed to Memphis in the southwestern United States. That was the venue for the semifinals and finals of the Southern District, and the venue was the Grizzlies Commonwealth. Express Arena.

On the plane, the team members all fell asleep, and Xu Hao was no exception. After a great battle, they urgently needed to supplement their sleep. The seven or eight hours the night before were not enough to restore their young bodies to normal.Everyone's seats were pitch-black, only the front seat was flickering with the dim light from the computer screen, which was the "throne" of head coach Evans.

He rubbed his dry and astringent eyes, covered the laptop, and muttered: "Jeff has met a strong opponent this time, but I don't know if he can handle it. It seems that now is the time for the next match." Let's think about tactics for the game..."

Xu Hao was also in a heavy heart like him.Although on the surface he has entered a deep sleep, but in fact in the system and his opponent in the next game, the University of Oklahoma, the No. 2 seed in the Southern District, played inextricably.In the end, the Arizona State University led by Xu Hao suffered a defeat, and the reason was in the interior—Ailes was directly blown away by the opponent.

The Arizona Sun Devils this season are considered to be an outside-oriented team, and they are indeed.The backcourt combination of Xu Hao and Harden is the team's killer feature. Cooks and Hayward also often play on the outside, but this does not mean that inside players have no status in this team. In fact, the starting center Al Si is much more important than imagined.

Most outside teams use shooting as the main method, which requires one person to fight for rebounds inside, and it is best not to occupy too much possession of the ball.Ayres is such an inside player. His scoring basically comes from the second offense after grabbing the rebound, and the down attack after the high pick-and-roll.Of course, he will also play post-up with the ball, which is a skill that most insiders know, but for the sake of the team, he is willing to give up the ball-handling style of play, and silently do the task that a blue-collar insider needs to complete.

It can be said that in the previous games, Ayers played a very important role. Whether offensive or defensive, his steady performance has benefited the Sun Devils a lot.But now he seems to be facing his strongest opponent so far this season.

Blake Griffin, a talented insider from the University of Oklahoma, the No. 2009 pick in the 22.7 NBA draft, averaged 14.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 65.4 blocks per game this season. Comprehensive data, the shooting percentage is as high as 37.5%, and the three-point shooting percentage is also [-]%. There is no doubt that there is no solution on the court.

Ayers is of course also very good, but compared with Griffin, he is obviously nothing.So far, there is no insider in the league who can compete with this extremely perverted insider big man in the matchup. If he can barely draw with him, it is very powerful.Both Evans and Xu Hao believe that Ayers may have to suffer a lot in the paint.

Before the first training session in Memphis, Evans explained the seriousness of the matter to Ailes. The latter's face became a little ugly. I've heard that, but I didn't expect to face this pervert this time.Ailes had been full of confidence in himself before, but this time he began to doubt his own strength.

The conversation between Evans and Ailes was not hidden from others, and the faces of many players also became serious.It is obviously bad news for the opponent to have such a super insider. If the insider falls, it will really be over.

Ailes gritted his teeth suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Although Griffin is the number one insider in the NCAA this season, and even the number one pick, I will not let him score easily. Please believe me, even if I die, I will die." Under the rim!"

Xu Hao walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's not as serious as you said, we are all your strong backing. We will help you when dealing with Griffin, and he can kill us alone A whole team?"

Ayers finally showed a smile on his face, and he nodded at Xu Hao, keeping everything in silence.

Still, it won't be easy to beat Oklahoma with Griffin, and after Evans reassures Ayers, he'll find time to figure it out with the rest of the coaching staff to see what can be done The team has the advantage.

The easiest way to deal with a team centered on the inside is to crush them on the outside, especially if you don't have a strong inside to fight against.But judging from the information Evans has, the University of Oklahoma's perimeter combination is not incompetent. Their starting point guard Willie Warren and shooting guard Tony Crocker are the team's No. 24.2 respectively. And the No. 5.4 scorer, the two combined to contribute 4.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, [-] assists and [-] steals per game.

Obviously, it is not enough to blindly open a breakthrough from the outside. Although Evans believes that his trump card in the backcourt will definitely have an advantage in the confrontation, it is obviously unreliable to bet on the shooting percentage from the outside.Not to mention Harden, even Xu Hao's shooting cannot be completely trusted. Even if he scored 70 points in a single game, Evans always believed that it was a matter of luck.

That being the case, it seems to be a good choice to transfer Griffin from the inside. In this case, the inside players need to have a certain shooting ability. sure.Of course, Xu Hao and the others must also show shooting skills beyond the three-point line that the opponent's outside players can't stop. Empty, what you want to do is very simple.

However, Evans only has such an idea for the time being. If he wants to put it into practice, he needs to practice continuously in the team training.In addition, Xu Hao, Harden, even Cooks and Hayward must maintain a good touch during the game, and the University of Oklahoma players must have a feeling of "shrinking the inside is useless and must go outside".

Even so, Evans is still a little worried. In the past ten years, NBA teams with good insiders have won too many championships. From this, we can see how important it is to have a behemoth inside.Although the method I came up with can restrain Griffin to a certain extent, it's hard to say who will win at the end of the game!
