Chapter 008 Stephen's New Pick-and-Roller
Blake Griffin looked at the opponent in front of him with some dissatisfaction.
Lin Yi has a pretty handsome appearance, but in Griffin's opinion, this tall and thin person is not a basketball player, and this delicate face looks like a mother in Griffin's opinion. Humph! Not every big Chinese person is Yao.
Griffin decided to let this Chinese guy experience the strength of the NCAA.
The Wildcats served in the backcourt, and Stephen Curry pushed the ball with the ball. Griffin suddenly thought about why he didn't like Lin Yi, because like Curry, he did not have the strong body to play basketball. However, when he was a freshman last year, Stephen left many bad memories for Griffin.
Including today, the atmosphere at home has been driven by his dunk and headboard, but Stephen can use continuous three-pointers to calm the home fans.
Can this kind of basketball that hides from playing also be called basketball?
Just when Blake Griffin was still in his mind, Lin Yi left his position and ran to the high position.
Skip! I knew it was a pick-and-roll. Blake Griffin took a step forward to try to block Curry's breakthrough route. Perhaps it was because of the inertia when facing the Wildcats. Everyone would block Stephen Curry's route. Lin Yi quietly disappeared from Griffin's sight at this moment.
Curry failed to get a breakthrough opportunity. He was defended by Griffin and the Speed Team's point guard David Bilson, but Stephen Curry was not in a hurry. He held the ball behind his back with his right hand, and passed the ball behind him!
Lin Yi smiled. Could it be that I want to play the role of Clay today? It seems that Curry likes to pass the game back since he was a child. In fact, most of Curry's mistakes in his career are related to his preference for fancy passes. However, this is also a rhythm of Curry's basketball. If you let him play according to the rules, he will not be able to play well.
Lin Yi had already been ready to catch the ball. He stood at the top of the three-point line, and his pick-and-roll did not block it. Because Griffin snatched a step, he dismantled it in advance.
Lin Yi steadily received Curry's back pass, which was a classic high-position pick-and-roll out-cut tactic. Lin Yi took a deep breath and then raised the ball over his head. His posture was very standard and he took a very fast move.
It feels very good, this ball has it!
Swish!
Hollow into the net!
McLopp on the sidelines applauded Lin Yi's first shot. Before Lin Yi appeared on the court, he was worried that Lin Yi would be nervous and unable to play well. After all, this was his debut, but McLopp felt that his worries were redundant because Lin Yi had a good ability to read the game.
The fans of the Speed Team's home court were a little confused. Is this a big pitcher?
But everyone soon reported it, after all, it is not uncommon for big pitchers now.
"He will shoot three points!" David Bilson reminded Griffin.
"I understand. I like this kind of inside line that floats on the outside and plays the most. Griffin nodded. This kind of inside line that floats on the outside and plays on the outside and is generally very weak inside line, especially in confrontation. Moreover, his height is seven feet, so his feet must not be fast.
In the offense of the Speed Team, David Bilson decisively handed the basketball over to Blake Griffin, who was asking for the ball at the high position. Griffin did not ask for the ball at the low position because he was afraid of being double-teamed.
Griffin's high-level frame singles in the NCAA are few people who can defend against it because the players against him are not as tall as him, faster than him, and stronger than him. When Griffin saw that Lin Yi did not block his right hand, he directly held the ball and drilled in. It has to be said that Griffin's starting speed is quite fast. Griffin believes that Lin Yi must be left behind by him. In order to save physical fitness, he did not choose to dunk, but chose to layup.
The fans at the scene suddenly exclaimed.
These fans are really good. They haven't even entered the ball yet, so what are they cheering? Griffin thought in his heart.
But the fans did not cheer for Griffin's goal, but a big hand suddenly appeared behind Griffin.
It's really a cover of the sky and the sun!
Lin Yi's super long arm span played a role in this moment. Of course, he followed Griffin's footsteps. Lin Yi was waiting for this moment. His jumping height was not high, but it was enough to block the ball.
Bang!
The nail board is booming!
The arrogant Blake Griffin actually got caught!
And it's a nail.
Lin Yi grabbed the rebound he had taken. He wanted to dribble and launch a counterattack, but after hesitating for a while, he handed the ball to Stephen Curry, and he followed him.
The players of the Speed Team were unable to retreat all of them, and David Bilson's attention was attracted by Stephen Curry, because Stephen Curry was likely to choose to counterattack the fast break three-pointer.
Curry's baby smiled and threw the ball directly towards the basket. Lin Yi was not jumping enough, obviously he was still adapting to the jumping under this high-intensity confrontation, but his wingspan successfully helped him.
Bang!
After getting an all-around dunk, Lin Yi scored five points in a row and sent it to another shot. The Wildcats instantly reversed the situation on the court.
"Good job! But why didn't you dribble and launch a fast break by yourself?" Curry asked curiously after Stephen Curry and Lin Yi celebrating, because Lin Yi's counterattack would be better just now.
"Leave one hand. If you fail to form a direct offensive after the pick-and-roll in the next round, you can give me the ball at a high position. I will try to play the No. 1 pick in a single." Lin Yi touched Curry's head and said.
Since he grew taller, Lin Yi has developed the habit of liked to touch other people's heads very much.
Griffin was a little angry. He didn't expect that he would suffer consecutive defeats in this unknown Chinese boy.
"It's incredible, this is his debut." Jennings' assistant coach said with emotion.
"He is still adapting to the rhythm of the game and let McCarren help him. Next, we will double-team as long as Griffin gets the ball." McLopp said.
Wildcats' power forward McCarron firmly implemented the head coach's arrangements. When the Speed Team used Griffin to launch an attack, he successfully caused Griffin's mistake by double-teaming.
"Damn!" Griffin was so unhappy. He obviously used his strength to push away the big Chinese man, but he encountered double-teams from his opponent in the three-second zone. In desperation, Blake Griffin failed to pass the ball as soon as possible. However, this time the Speed Team returned to defense very quickly, and did not allow the Wildcats to fight back as soon as possible.
Stephen Curry was not in a hurry. He took the ball at the high position and asked for a pick-and-roll. Lin Yi ran up. How could Blake Griffin take the same trick in succession? He and David Bilson forced the pick-and-roll away from Lin Yi and Curry.
"What a bull..." Lin Yi's height and weight at this time made the pick-and-roll he did not do enough. However, in the NCAA, only a bull like Griffin can crack the pick-and-roll between him and Curry so toughly.
However, Curry and Lin Yi, who were prepared for a long time, were not in a hurry. Curry did not choose to play singles by himself or take the pick-and-roll again, but instead handed the ball to Lin Yi and signaled his teammates to pull it away.
