Chapter 006 He is my pick and roll
This fast battle between Davidson Wildcats and Oklahoma can be said to have attracted much attention. Before the game, the media really wanted to interview Griffin and Curry. The media knew that these two were the focus of the game.
Curry's performance in March this year left a deep impression, and Griffin was definitely the most physically strongest among the rookies of this class.
Curry accepted the interview generously. He talked about the team's goals this year and prepared for his future development plan. Curious reporter Javier Stanford asked at the end of the interview: "It seems that there is a seven-foot-sized man in your team. Is he a Chinese?"
Curry nodded, God promised that Stephen Curry originally wanted to promote his teammate well, but when he thought of Coach McLopp's request to use Lin Yi as a secret weapon, Stephen Curry could only say in a very uncomfortable manner: "He is my pick-and-roll."
Javier Stanford smiled. China is indeed prone to big players, but not everyone can become Yao. And looking at his sturdy and dull pre-match training, can he really become a qualified pick-and-roller? But Javier quickly reported that it seemed that the Wildcats had no other pick-and-roller. Their inside players were about two meters, and their level was very average. Not to mention the NBA, I'm afraid that the NBDL wouldn't wave to them.
"Today our main attack is still Stephen." As a coach who has been coaching in a weak team for a long time but has a winning rate of more than 60% in his coaching career, McLopp's coaching ability is unquestionable.
The Wildcats players nodded together.
"Lin, you play as a substitute today, Anthony, you and Stephen must be picked and rolled, and McMillan and Donald must also be prepared to shoot." The Wildcats are a team that loves to play passes and cuts. They are the team that loves to passes the ball the entire South District loves to pass the ball. This may be why Stephen Curry was able to shine in the Warriors' passes and cuts system later, because he has always played his favorite tactics since college.
Lin Yi nodded, and Stephen Curry also gave him a wink.
Last night, Curry had already taught Lin Yi his debut experience well, although Curry's own NCAA debut was a disaster...
McLopp was very satisfied with Lin Yi's performance. This guy's calmness exceeded his imagination.
"There are so many scouts here today, they are all for Blake and Stephen." Jennings said assistant coach.
"No, most of them should be for Blake." The scout... When he thought of the scout, McLopp suddenly became selfish and called Lin Yi to his side. "If the opponent knows that you have the ability to shoot and defend you closely, I allow you to use the defender skills."
Lin Yi's eyes lit up, didn't he say I was a secret weapon?
McLopp's selfishness is very simple. No matter how good Lin Yi performs, the Wildcats cannot rely on him and Stephen to win the NCAA championship. However, there are many scouts today. If Lin Yi can play well, he might be able to add some bargaining chips to his future NBA.
Lin Yi didn't know that in order to increase the bargaining chips for Stephen Curry to enter the NBA, many of McLopp's tactics were designed for Stephen Curry, in order to make Stephen Curry's data look better.
Good man!
McLopp didn't know what Lin Yi could play, but he knew that the Speed Team, who didn't know Lin Yi's characteristics, would definitely suffer a big loss, especially the proud Blake Griffin.
The highly anticipated game began soon. In the quarrel of the third young master of the Thunder, Blake Griffin's jump ball at the opening was one arm higher than the Wildcats' center Anthony Beasley.
Terrible bouncing on the spot, terrible momentary explosive power and power.
After jumping to the ball, Griffin rushed to the frontcourt like a small tank. The Wildcats players made a very active defense, but unfortunately, Griffin still received a pass from his teammate and captured the first goal for Oklahoma Speed Team.
"Blake! Blake! Blake!"
The fans at the scene began to cheer.
"Oh my God, I like him so much!" Westbrook felt that if he partnered with Griffin, his assists would definitely look better.
Durant nodded, and after experiencing the NBA, he is also optimistic about Griffin. Such physical fitness is simply a cheat in the NCAA.
On the court, when the Wildcats went back, they stole two points from the basket through a pass and cut.
In fact, many times people pay too much attention to Curry's three-pointers. You should know that Curry has a very high finishing rate at the basket. When you open Curry's scoring composition, you can understand that the basket is Stephen Curry's most stable scoring method. He knows how to use the space on the court and how to avoid high-intensity physical confrontation.
There were back and forth on the court, but the Wildcats took the lead. Using continuous passes and cuts, they scored 7-4 in the opening game.
Blake Griffin was a little annoyed and signaled his teammates to pass the ball to him more.
The players of Oklahoma Speed Team dare not offend the team's star. Small forward Valdes made a pass, and Griffin used his flexible steps to avoid Anthony Beasley's circle, and then jumped high and made a thunderous heavy drop!
Bang!
The entire basket was shaking, and after the goal, Blake Griffin yelled at the Wildcats' insiders.
"Oh my god! I'm in love with him!" Westbrook jumped up, so explosive! so explosive! "Kevin, his jumping height just now is almost the same as the basket!"
Durant did not sting with his praise, "Yes, such a jumping ability is not common in the NBA."
Oklahoma climaxed continuously. Griffin scored six points in a row after heavy dunks, and the score became 12-7. McLoup kept signaling to Curry to block the person on the sidelines. Stephen Curry made his first attempt on the outside today. Unfortunately, Anthony Beasley failed to block the person, and it seemed that he knew that Anthony Beasley would not shoot. The Speed Team completely emptyed him, and Curry's three-pointer bounced out of the box.
The Speed Team's quick counterattack, Blake Griffin pushed the ball with the ball, and another heavy drop was made in the surprised expressions of a bunch of scouts! Today's tenth!
"Oh, my god, his athletic ability is really rare, and he just pushed the ball with his own ball, which is quite good basic dribbling skills!" Reggie Miller exclaimed.
It was 14-7, but McLopp did not call the timeout. Just as people were feeling Griffin's dominance, Stephen Curry turned around and hit a three-pointer.
Unreasonable, extremely long three points...
Chapter completed!
