Chapter 43 I am the advantage!(1/2)

 The Huskies' victory over the Tigers did not cause any splash. In everyone's eyes, this was a matter of course.

Lu Feng "only" scored 39 points and did not attract the attention of reporters. His "bad habits" have long been discovered by reporters, but this is also in line with Lu Feng's image in the eyes of reporters.

Powerful, smart, arrogant, arrogant... Lu Feng's image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

However, compared to the calmness of the first round, the second round match between the Huskies and North Carolina has been full of undercurrents since the night of the 15th, with various media and TV stations scrambling to preview the match between the two teams.

Various statistics and milestone games of the core players of the two teams were picked out and compared.

Although CBS got the exclusive live broadcast with more money, ABC and NBC also took advantage of the popularity of the two teams, and various programs took off!

At noon on the day of the game, reporters found former North Carolina juniors and asked them to predict the outcome of the game.

Jordan: "The University of Washington is very strong, but I can't imagine how they can win against North Carolina. If they meet other teams, they will probably win, but North Carolina is an exception."

Reporter: "Can you tell me why? Washington is the No. 1 seed in the Midwest. Shouldn't it be difficult for North Carolina to beat the University of Washington?"

Jordan smiled and said: "It's very simple, because it's North Carolina, the University of Washington... I'm sorry, I only know Luck. Who else do they have besides Luck?"

Jordan shrugged and said with a smile: "Luck is half a head shorter than me. If he can score 60 points tonight, the University of Washington may win."

James Worthy heard Jordan's words and joked from the side: "No, Washington can't win. Even Michael Jordan can't win the championship, let alone the smaller Michael Jordan!"

Jordan: "..."

On the night of the 17th, Austin, Texas, was filled with fans, half of which were divided between the Huskies and North Carolina.

Before the game, a reporter approached Lu Feng and asked: "Luck, are you worried about the game when facing North Carolina, which has a greater advantage?"

Lu Feng frowned and asked: "North Carolina has the advantage? Why do you think so?"

Reporter: "North Carolina has a similar style to yours, but North Carolina has more and better players, more game experience, and a deeper foundation. Isn't this an advantage?"

Lu Feng shook his head contemptuously and said: "This is indeed North Carolina's advantage, but we also have advantages, and they are even bigger!"

The reporter's eyes lit up and he asked: "Oh, really, what is that?"

"Me!" Lu Feng patted his chest: "I am the advantage!"

After Lu Feng finished speaking, he turned around and entered the arena...

Although he acted very confident in front of reporters, he knew that what the reporters said was right, and North Carolina did restrain the Huskies.

The tactical styles of the two teams are very similar, but North Carolina's background is undoubtedly far superior to that of the Huskies.

It seems that North Carolina's 13-man rotation only has one more player than the Huskies, but many of the Huskies' players are just scratching the surface, while North Carolina's players are all elite players.

North Carolina can use 4-star high school students as marginal players on the team, and can put two first-round picks on the bench as substitutes. The Huskies can't even think about it!

During the warm-up, Lu Feng looked at the North Carolina players on the opposite side and shook his head... He didn't know most of the people on the opposite side, and there were actually many first-round picks predicted by the media.

The only one who looks familiar is Rick Fox, a small forward from the Lakers' OK dynasty.

Lu Feng remembers him because he is handsome and became an actor after retiring. As for basketball...he is a bastard even worse than Lao Yu!

North Carolina crushed the Huskies' lineup in all aspects. In terms of height, except for the No. 1 position, North Carolina's other four players were all taller than the Huskies.

More importantly, all four positions are only a few centimeters higher, which means that while North Carolina has an advantage in offense, its defense is not bad either!

The five Huskies are: No. 1 Lu Feng, No. 2 Eldridge, No. 3 Doug Meekins, No. 4 Mark West, and No. 5 Jeff Brown.

North Carolina's five players are: No. 1 Kim Rice, No. 2 Kevin Madden, No. 3 Rick Fox, No. 4 Scott Williams, and No. 5 Pete Chilkat.

North Carolina has a five-forward lineup that would make Pat Riley drool. They are all about 2 meters tall.

What makes this set uncomfortable for the Huskies is that against them, the Huskies will definitely have a defensive weakness!

If North Carolina allows players at positions 3, 4, and 5 to attack, the three Huskies can only guard two. Lu Feng and Eldridge are not tall enough to guard these three positions.

Doug Meekins and Jeff Brown can only guard one person, but no matter who they guard, the other vacant position will become a breakthrough!

Mark West was brought up just because he has the right height, and his slow pace cannot give him a good defensive performance.

What makes the Huskies even more uncomfortable is that the North Carolina five-man team is all very talented and very athletic. The Huskies have no advantage in speed and cannot play fast breaks!

This was the case for the first goal. North Carolina got the ball, and Rick Fox immediately made a fast break. After Doug Meekins caught up, he passed the ball to Williams behind him, and Williams dunked!

Jeff Brown immediately kicked off the ball. Lu Feng took just two steps before he was double-teamed. The other three North Carolina players had already retreated and completed their defense. The Huskies failed to counterattack fast break...

However, when the Huskies fell into position, Lu Feng discovered that North Carolina was double-teamed at the beginning. It was not to prevent fast breaks!

North Carolina used an alternative 2-1-2 defense. Two people double-teamed Lu Feng, one person chased Eldridge, and two people protected the basket in the penalty area.

North Carolina sent Kim Rice and Rick Fox to double-team Lu Feng. It was obvious that they neither wanted him to break out nor wanted him to shoot!

Doug Meekins ran to catch the ball in the middle distance, but after he got the ball, he embarrassingly found that he was unguarded...

Of course he knows what this means - the release tactic, which the Huskies have used many times!

He knew how to make a mid-range shot. With two people standing in the penalty area, it was impossible for him to score. After thinking about it, he decided to pass the ball back to Lu Feng.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

When he wanted to pass the ball, he realized that North Carolina was still double-teaming him!

Lu Feng plays without the ball, allowing his teammates to have a pleasant 4-on-3 game, and of course it will be the same this time...

To be more precise, the Huskies were playing 3 on 2 because Eldridge was also being pursued and had no chance to attack.

But this time, the Huskies' tried-and-tested tricks in the past didn't work because Mark West and Doug Meekins didn't have a basket. North Carolina only needed to defend the penalty area and interfere with Jeff Brown's shooting!
p>

Jeff Brown doesn't need to guard against death, and his shooting is not as scary as Lu Feng's.

If it only interferes with his shooting and basket protection, North Carolina's two 2-meter-08 inside linemen will be enough!

Obviously, as a famous coach who has been in charge of North Carolina for 28 years, Dean Smith predicted that the Huskies would change.

But it’s normal to think about it. When the Huskies face North Carolina, it’s impossible to let Brent go, otherwise the Huskies’ inside line will really become a blocker!

Jeff Brown's shot was interfered with, and North Carolina used its height advantage to grab the rebound and score on the fast break again!

On the next ball, Doug Meekins, who received a pass from Jeff Brown, attacked the basket and was cut off. North Carolina scored again on a fast break!

The Huskies kicked off, and after Lu Feng held the ball through halftime, he still followed the same routine, and was double-teamed as soon as he approached the three-point line!

North Carolina gave the Huskies two bottles of poison, named Mark West and Brent Merritt.

Mark West destroyed the Huskies' offense, and Brent Merritt destroyed the Huskies' defense. The Huskies chose the poison to destroy the offense, and the toxicity is indeed very strong.

Lu Feng needed to find a way to find an antidote. The first thing he thought of was the pick-and-roll. He waved his hand and motioned for Doug Meekins to come up and help him block one.

Doug Meekins' pick-and-roll cannot be said to be ineffective. He did help Lu Feng block Rick Fox. The problem is that he also brought a 2.08-meter Scott Williams over...

After the pick-and-roll, Rick Fox had no desire to defend Doug Meekins, and directly retracted inside to cover Scott Williams' previous position.

Lu Feng, Doug Meekins: "..."

After Doug Meekins finished the pick-and-roll, he habitually cut inside and Lu Feng passed the ball out.

After all, Doug Meekins is only 1.98 meters tall. Although he has excellent athletic ability, his wingspan is very average, like a little Griffin.

As a result of the inward cut, Doug Meekins was blocked and the ball was taken by North Carolina, which again promoted a fast break counterattack...

Rick Fox received the pass at the three-point line without being defended, counterattacked and took a fast break shot - Wow!

"Luck, thank you for the Sweet 16 tickets, come again next year!"

After the goal, Rick Fox used his soft and elegant voice to talk trash to Lu Feng, then smiled like a gentleman and retreated to his own half.

North Carolina's poison for the Huskies was really strong. They beat the Huskies 9:0 in the beginning!

"God, we scored again, this time it was a three-pointer! North Carolina scored 9 points in a row, but the University of Washington still failed to score a point. Is this the end of the Seattle miracle?"

"This is the difference between a wealthy team and an ordinary team. Once Luck encounters a double-team and his teammates cannot score, the Huskies will fall into a quagmire, just like they are now!"

"The Huskies' only hope is Luck. He needs to take action, even those not so good opportunities. Now it's time for him to prove himself!"

The Huskies will be beaten 9:0 in the opening game, which is something Seattle fans could not imagine before the game.

When the North Carolina fans on the other side saw that North Carolina had a chance to counterattack the Huskies, they went completely crazy and poured out all kinds of beer!

Dududu——

Lynn Nance applied for a timeout. He knew that the Huskies would definitely lose if this continued!

He figured out that it didn't matter if the defense was a little worse, but if it affected Lu Feng's offense, the Huskies would really be gone. Mark West had to come down, and he couldn't stay on the court!

It wasn't until this moment that he discovered how useful and important an inside lineman like Jeff Brown who shoots accurately is!

Brent Merritt made an immediate impact after coming up.

Lu Feng held the ball in the frontcourt. Facing the double-team of two people, he shook Rick Fox away with a simple fake pass, and then immediately made a three-pointer and scored!

Rice was blocked by Fox and failed to interfere!

"I haven't passed the ball yet, why did you avoid it? I couldn't help but take fewer shots... Damn it, you're not covering for me, are you? I know that assists are much harder to get than points.

!"

Rick Fox did not reply, but after he successfully caught the ball and singled out Brent Merritt, he gave Lu Feng a provocative look.

"I'm not gay, don't look at me like that, you have no chance!"
