NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

During the half-time break, Hanamichi sat in the rest area, took the towel handed to him by his teammates, and wiped the sweat from his head.

"Hey! Flower, believe me, after this game our Wildcats will definitely surprise all the spectators!"

Hearing this, Hua Dao looked at the scoreboard next to the timer, 43:28, and responded to Da Si with a smile:

"Ah~ Of course we will become more famous if we make it to the top 32, right~ Coach Olsen!"

Coach Olsen looked at his two favorite disciples sitting side by side, and he felt a little bit like a young man.

He said in a resounding voice:

"Yeah! In fact, I'm already thinking about my next opponent!"

Hua Dao almost choked on the water when he heard this, please don’t!

"Coach, let's think carefully about how to play in the second half!"

Coach Olsen smiled and said:

"Flower, this is your first time playing in the NCAA, you may not know our advantages!"

"We have a 15-point lead. All we need to do is play steadily in the second half. The Michigan Spartans will never be able to turn the tables!"

"In the second half, Seth, you replace Paul...we're going to fight a positional battle!"

"I only have one request, keep the ball in the hands of Damon and Flower!"

"Do you two still have the strength to hold on?"

Dasi watched as Hanamichi quietly stretched out two fingers and made the "2" gesture, so he quietly replied with a "3".

After getting Hanamichi's nod, he spoke:

“Coach, Jimmy King’s defense on me was too exhausting in the first half, and I basically finished from the outside on offense.

I think we can allow more shots from the inside in the second half!"

After saying that, Dasi winked at Hanamichi!

“3 meals~deal!”

Coach Olsen thought for a moment and asked the assistant coach to bring the data panel.

After carefully looking at Dasi's shots and scores, and confirming that what he said was correct, he turned to Hanamichi and said:

"After getting the rebound in the second half, Flower, don't rush to pass the ball to the outside. Try a second attack in the paint!"

"You have to handle it carefully, and also be sure to pay attention to your physical strength!"

"Yes, coach!"

Hua Dao was overjoyed when he heard that, and he could show his talent in the competition again!

As for "physical strength", that is not a problem at all!

In fact, Coach Olsen was not worried about giving the offensive rights to Hanamichi.

As Das said, the Michigan Spartans have stronger perimeter players.

Their inside line has not had a suitable strong center or power forward to fill the position since Webber and others left the team.

Send Huadao to target and attack one by one, and he will hit them all accurately.

But Coach Olson had his own concerns.

Throughout the entire schedule, except for the current game, the opponents in every subsequent game will be strong enemies!

Moreover, the core players of these strong opponents are basically in the interior, to be more precise, most of them are core power forwards.

Coach Olsen is worried that after over-exerting Hanamichi’s energy, he will not be able to perform well in the next games against other teams!

The "one star, four shooters" tactic that Coach Olsen wanted to test has also been tested in this game and its effects have been shown.

So after comprehensive consideration, he agreed with Dasi's suggestion.

But at the same time, he did not intend to expose too much, especially in this kind of game, which would over-consume the physical strength of his main players.

Coach Olsen, who had thought it through, said to his players:

"I'll give you 7 minutes. Within 7 minutes, bring the score down to around 20 points, and then I'll replace you with substitutes..."

"Remember, our next opponent is likely to be Wake Forest. We don't have time to hang out with the outdated Michigan Spartans!"

"understand!"

The Wildcat players looked at the serious coach and replied hastily.

In the second half, the audience was fully expecting the Arizona Wildcats, who had given them an amazing fast break feast in the first half, to once again demonstrate their silky offensive tactics.

But unexpectedly, the Arizona Wildcats actually set up a standard zone defense and started a positional battle as soon as they came on the court!

The game seemed to go from the fast pace of the first half to extreme silence.

This is certainly not very satisfying for the audience who had enjoyed the first half of the show.

But for the reporters and scouts on the scene, it was the scene they most desired.

This is because this kind of joint defense positional battle can often best reflect a player's basketball skills and qualities, especially personal skills!

The American basketball world is a stage that advocates talent above all else.

Players like Jackson whose potential and talent are basically exhausted will basically have no chance of playing in the NBA.

But if a player has the basketball talent of the Greek Antetokounmpo and also has basketball skills that match his talent.

Such a player is undoubtedly a treasure! For any team, he is a dream player.

Just like the Magic who once picked up the "Shark", and the "Flying Devil" Duncan who will be picked up by the Spurs in the future!

Before entering the NBA, these two were already treasures that combined both talent and skills!

Now, in the eyes of the scouts on the scene, there is another candidate on the list of such players, that is Hanamichi!

From the second half onwards, due to the double team defense, Hanamichi basically lingered near the restricted area, occasionally guarding the basket.

In addition to the static physical fitness he showed in the first half, Hanamichi played singles with a standing stick in the second half.

Time and again, he used his hook shot, nimble footwork under the basket and strength to fool the Michigan power forward!

Scouts gradually discovered that this big man from the East had all-around skills similar to the [Pentagon Warrior] ~ KG.

It adds a bit more diversity in scoring methods on the offensive end and the ability to play one-on-one with the ball.

"He has a very soft touch. As a 210cm tall guy, this kind of soft touch is something that many NBA inside players don't have!"

"His footwork around the basket is very agile, with a hint of Dream's footwork!"

"Come on, am I the only one who noticed his age?"

"He just turned 18 this year and has unlimited potential."

"His height and wingspan have not yet fully developed, and his skills can still be honed for several years."

"He's even like that [Flying Devil], he can play in the NBA right now!"

Lawrence is the scout who reached a PY deal with Hanamichi's agent and founded a column for Hanamichi in Arizona Sports Magazine.

At this time, he also mixed into the team of scouts and took this opportunity to raise the "flower price"!

The game ended with Lawrence's "flower price" driving up the price.

The University of Arizona Wildcats won their first game, defeating the Michigan Spartans 78:68!

The first round ended easily.
