Chapter 58: The opening is tricky(1/2)

"The Louisville Cardinals are a very balanced offensive and defensive team. They have Edgar Sol and Terrence Williams on the outside, and Earl Clark on the inside..."

With more than an hour left before entering the game, Lin Ri once again looked through all the information collected by the Sun Devils scouts on the three core players of the Cardinals.

"Edgar Sol is the Cardinals' No. 1 position, but his style of play is more like a No. 2 position that runs without the ball and specializes in shooting. The Cardinals' organizational responsibility is handed over to Terrance Williams.

To complete it, this is a very versatile player with amazing physical fitness, who can make sudden moves, shoot and pass, but sometimes he doesn’t know what he should do on the court..."

James has to suffer again.

Lin Ri looked at the report written by Terrence Williams, and it was clear that he was an excellent swingman prospect. James Harden had some difficulty defending the second and third positions.

Now we are facing guys who are extremely versatile and have excellent physical fitness in the second and third positions this year. It would be strange not to endure hardships.

"Earl Clark is known as a talented inside man. He has unlimited possibilities. In the evaluation of many NBA scouts, there is this sentence: Earl Clark has never been a passionate player. He does not care about the situation.

He is a very boring person both on and off the court. Sometimes you can even feel that he has no interest in basketball, but this has nothing to do with his character. He is a very humble guy and can accept criticism and correction. But

He lacks energy, which may be related to the fact that he has always had smooth sailing on the basketball court since he was a child. His ability allows him to easily defeat his opponents most of the time, and he has never encountered a real opponent until college.

His opponents have caused him to be inactive on the court, but there is no need to doubt his potential."

This guy... is really cool!

This is the fifth time Lin has seen a scouting report on Earl Clark.

This guy is also in the fourth position, and he is the player who will be facing him throughout today's game, so he naturally needs to pay more attention to it.

Every time Lin Ri saw a scouting report about this guy, he would involuntarily exclaim, "This guy is so awesome!"

It's no wonder that he has such thoughts, because this whole paragraph contains just one sentence: This guy has great potential, and even if he only realizes his potential now, it will be enough for him to solve most of his opponents.

He has no enthusiasm, and relying on the potential he has already realized, he has been the most unmissable potential stock in the 2009 draft after Blake Griffin in the eyes of many experts.

This rating is too high!

It is equivalent to saying that if Lin Ri had not appeared, this guy would have played casually and become the most promising No. 4 position after Griffin this year.

Can Lin Ri not feel emotional?

"He can shoot out of the blue and has a long range... Is this a guy with all-round skills? And this is the first time I have encountered a fourth position with long-range shooting ability. This game is really difficult to play!"

Lin Ri read all the information about Earl Clark, combined with the previous information on Terrence Williams and Edgar Saul. Even if he didn't watch the Cardinals game, he could imagine what this team is.

How to play ball.

Terrence Williams holds the ball to look for opportunities, or gives the ball to Earl Klar for a single. If neither of them has a chance, then give the ball to Edgar Sol who is floating on the outside for a long shot...

Just thinking about it, this tactic is enough to sweep two-thirds of the teams in the NCAA.

Of course, Lin Ri must have watched the past game videos of this team this season. This team has the playing styles that he can think of after looking at these data, and it has more and more tricks than Lin Ri thought.

Due to the complex movement, the tacit understanding between the three cores of this team is also very high.

It’s not easy to fight!

Lin Ri muttered something again and read the information of these three guys from the beginning again.

While watching, his brain was also running rapidly, and he was thinking about how to play this game.

"Jeff, you must perform well in this game. I hope you can make all the shots you should. Tonight is your proof game!"

Facing a strong enemy, Sandak chose to put pressure on Jeff. The Cardinals have a "three-core" team. Although the Sun Devils are better known to the outside world as James Harden and Lin Ri, they also have a "three-core" team.

"Core" capital, but compared to those two guys, Jeff really has no sense of existence. Even Sandak sometimes ignores that there is another person in his team who can be ranked as the predicted pick in the 2009 draft.

Guys in the top 15 of the second round exist.

Haha, it’s really amazing. It’s amazing. With Lin Ri joining us, last year’s “hard days” have all been forgotten.

Even a second-round pick with top-notch talent in the NCAA can be ignored...

However, the war was about to begin, and Sandeck finally "remembered" Jeff. This was just in time. James Harden faced Terrence Williams, Lin Ri faced Earl Clark, and then Jeff and Thor

You are "Dui Zi".

Perfect!

Sandek "Venusization".



Like the audience in the previous two games, the fans who came to the Thomas & Mack Center today also shouted Lin Ri's name in unison when the two teams were warming up.

Like the previous two games, Lin Ri also contributed an easy dunk, which triggered cheers from the audience.

It also gave Louisville head coach Rick Pitino the inspiration to encourage his players shortly after: "See? The sun, the absolute super rookie this season, look at the buzz he caused, which proves his impact.

Strength, and now, what we have to do is to end all this and let this guy's NCAA journey end here. If he still wants to win the cup, he has to stay in the NCAA for one more year. What an interesting thing.

I think you have the ability to do this. Now, what I want to see is that you can do this. Louisville’s goal this year is the NCAA championship trophy, and now, let us kill a man with unlimited potential.

Be a super newbie! Trust me, this will be a lot of fun!”

There is no doubt that Rick Pitino is a good "Chicken Soup Master."

After he said these words, the entire Cardinals team became excited, especially Terrance Williams, who couldn't wait to go on the court and kill the sun.

Rick Pitino glanced at Earl Clark subconsciously. This guy is a more critical point tonight than Terrence Williams.

Only if he has fighting spirit in this game and can bring enough trouble to Lin Ri, can they have a greater possibility of winning this game.

But if this guy has no fighting spirit as usual.

Then this game is not very easy to play.

In fact, the more purpose he said so much before the game was to stimulate Earl Clark's fighting spirit. Unfortunately, when he looked at Earl Clark, the guy's expression was as usual. Obviously, for this guy, this game

The game is no different from previous games.

Trouble!

Rick Pitino said to himself.

However, there was not much discoloration on his face.

Fortunately, the game has just begun, and he still has other opportunities to motivate Earl Clark and awaken this guy's fighting spirit.



The 2008-09 NCAA "March Madness" 16-final round began with cheers from the audience.

Lin Ri just made the fans at the scene feel happy with his dunk.

Now even if Lin Ri just grabs the right to attack, in the eyes of these guys, it is as if he has completed a dunk, which makes their blood boil.

"Without the Sun, there would be no neutral arena in the true sense. This guy is so charming to the fans!"

ESPN reporters Charles and Rachel stood on the sidelines, feeling the cheers for Lin Ri, and couldn't help but praise him.

Rachel nodded slightly, fully agreeing with this.

The two of them are reporters who have been on the sidelines preparing to follow the Sun Devils since the first game of the regular season. They are also the first reporters to conduct an exclusive interview with The Sun.

Of course, judging from the current results, this exclusive interview has benefited them a lot. Charles has more internal rights, and the word "intern" in front of Rachel's trainee reporter has been removed.

And since she was the one who completed the original interview with The Sun, and compared with Lin Ri’s attitude towards other interview reporters sent by ESPN later, only when she went to interview, ESPN would feel a little special in front of Lin Ri.

This also makes Rachel not only remove the word "internship", but also add the word "special assignment" in front of her "reporter", the full name is "Sun Devils Special Team Reporter".

The two of them made a lot of dividends by taking the risk to interview Lin Ri.

And they have also witnessed Lin Ri's entire transformation from unknown to well-known across the United States. Especially after the arrival of "March Madness", The Sun's fame has been rising steadily, and now he has become a phenomenal newcomer!

In the history of the NCAA, there has never been a player who can have the audience chanting his name before every game in March Madness.

Lin Ri did it!

This guy is so charming!

Lin Ri passed the ball to James Harden. Harden passed the midline with the ball, and Lin Ri directly set a pick-and-roll for him from the high post.

In this game, the two of them started a pick-and-roll strategy from the beginning.

This is an unusual routine for the Sun Devils.

It also shows the importance they attach to the Cardinals.

James Harden successfully got rid of Terrence Williams, but was delayed by Earl Clark when he entered the inside. He could only adjust his dribbling rhythm and slowly brought Earl Clark to the three-point line.

One step position.

He does not plan to play Earl Clark in isolation. This guy's flexibility is very good even among the NBA's fourth position. Facing such a guy, even if he can complete the breakthrough in isolation, it will be too difficult.

What he was waiting for was Lin Ri's position, and he was helping Lin Ri open up space.

He and Earl Clark are mismatched, and Terrence Williams and Lin Ri are also mismatched. "The small outside is playing against the big, the inside is playing against the small." This is a very classic mismatched play. Although Lin Ri is now in the high position, but

Terrence Williams is only 1.98 meters tall, and his strength and weight are not as good as Lin Ri. He can't stop Lin Ri from walking down and turning his head to catch the ball at the same time.

At most, he could be a sack placed on Lin Ri's body, making it difficult for Lin Ri to move, but this was the limit.

Lin Ri was about to enter the basket and took the ball from a long distance.

His whole body didn't pause at all after getting the ball. He squeezed in directly, took two slow steps, raised his hands high and threw the ball towards the backboard. With a good rebound angle, the ball fell steadily into the basket.
