After changing careers, I became the number one player in basketball

At the end of the half, Georgetown had opened the point difference to 15 points.

This result was beyond most people's expectations. They thought that Georgetown would be in a tough battle against a strong enemy like Michigan State.

However, Georgetown still led by double digits at halftime!

Shay scored 9 points, 8 assists, 1 block and 1 steal in the first half of the game.

But that's not the point. The point is that Steve Smith only had 8 points, 2 assists and 1 turnover in the half.

And the hit rate is less than 40%.

He almost drowned in the ocean of Georgetown muscle basketball.

As an offensive kaleidoscope, Steve Smith felt that scoring goals was such a difficult task for the first time.

Throughout the first half, Steve Smith only got one easy shooting opportunity.

It was also the only chance he had, and he hit the only three-pointer in the first half.

Shea was fighting hand-to-hand with Steve Smith throughout the first half. Even if Steve Smith was off the ball, Shea would get in position and block the ball, preventing Smith from receiving the ball.

This greatly depleted Steve Smith's touch.

Someone may ask, if such a confrontation would consume Shay's own touch.

It’s ridiculous, how can you consume something that you don’t have at all?

Just like a person who has no bird at all, will you laugh at him?

Shay's muscular basketball rules made Steve Smith's shooting very difficult.

Attack the inside?

Isn't it just to block shots for Mutombo and Mourning?

I can't shoot accurately, but I don't dare to break through.

Michigan State trailed by 15 points at halftime, no injustice!

Moreover, Michigan State's offense relies heavily on Steve Smith.

Except for Steve Smith, who averaged 25 points per game, Stejner, the second highest scorer on the team, only averaged 12 points per game.

Not even Mourning.

To be honest, if Georgetown hadn't shot too hard, the point difference would have been even greater.

In the first half, Michigan State paid a lot of fouls in order to prevent Shea, Mourning and Mutombo from attacking the frame.

But the free throw shooting percentages of these three people today are very worrying.

Not to mention Shea and Mutombo, these two have always been the shooting leaders of Georgetown University.

Each mountain is higher than the other, and the eldest brother is stronger than the second brother.

Thank God for Mutombo's non-discipline.

And even if Shay uses the posture of emptying the toilet, he is not 100% able to score a penalty. It can only be said that it is slightly more accurate than the ordinary posture.

Mourning was too excited today because he was scolded by Shai, so he was not very accurate when shooting.

In addition, the NCAA implements the 11 free throw rule, that is, before 10 fouls are committed in the half, if the first free throw is missed, the two sides can directly grab rebounds.

Therefore, Georgetown didn't even have a chance to make one of two free throws.

Therefore, if the shooting was not too stretched, the point difference would have been 20 points.

As long as they can seize their free throw opportunities in the second half, the game will basically be over.

Of course, as an excellent coach, John Thompson will not fantasize about the impossible.

Seizing the free throw opportunity in the second half is an impossible thing.

The shots of Shea and Mutombo are so solid and unshakable.

So the only way to open up the score in the second half is...

Continue to make the opponent stronger!

Shay's only task in the second half was to completely lock down Steve Smith.

As long as he can't get open at that point, Michigan State's offense will completely collapse.

After the second half of the game started, Carlisle sent a text message to Nets coach Bill Fitch: "Be sure to pick Shea in the draft!"

Shea's pick-and-roll with Mourning in the first half made Carlisle extremely fascinated.

If Shea and Coleman can also produce this effect, the Nets will definitely make it to the playoffs!

In addition to the Nets, the Heat are also interested in Shea.

Originally, the Heat's first choice was Steve Smith.

But Shea's performance in locking down Steve Smith at halftime was really convincing.

Steve Smith has been looked down upon by all parties, but he himself is not ready to give up.

He can't give up either.

After all, if they lose this game, the team will be eliminated.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if you lose like this, you will basically be hopeless in the top three in the draft!

In this era of NBA, because contracts are signed based on one's willingness to play and one's willingness to suffer, rookie contracts also have no annual salary limit.

For example, there are rumors that Larry Johnson wants a 12-year rookie contract with a total value of more than $100 million to achieve freedom.

Otherwise he won't play in the NBA.

As a candidate for the No. 1 pick, he naturally has such confidence.

The top three rookies are the most qualified to impose conditions on the team.

If he falls out of the top three picks, it is very likely that the team will take as much as he is given, and there will be no room for maneuver.

Therefore, Steve Smith cannot lose.

He doesn't want to imitate Larry Johnson and get 100 million, but he also wants to sign a one-time contract worth tens of millions.

If it falls out of the top three, it won't be up to him to set the price.

Just for the sake of his future livelihood, Steve Smith had to fight hard in the second half!

But in the first attack of the second half, Steve Smith received a blow to the head.

He was almost intercepted by Shea, so he could only hold the ball with both hands to avoid making mistakes.

But this also caused his dribbling to be interrupted, so he could only choose to pass the ball to his teammates.

Steve Smith wanted to pass the ball to Hickman for a moment, and when he ran out of position, Hickman would pass the ball to him.

So, he raised the basketball and lobbed the ball through Shay to Hickman, who was leaning on Mourning in the low post to reach the position.

However, Shay raised his arms high, jumped on the spot, and directly picked off the basketball that flew above his head. It was like a big net, blocking Steve Smith's pass!

Steve Smith makes everyone stupid. He can also complete the steal!?

All the scouts at the scene swallowed their saliva. Shea's terrible defensive ability made the opponent even more careful with such a simple pass.

After the steal, Shea immediately counterattacked, using a pull-up layup to avoid the chasing Stejner, and easily scored another 2 points.

With a 17-point difference, Steve Smith not only failed to close the gap, but actually pushed it closer and closer to 20 points.

On the next attack, Steve Smith was about to force Shea and draw a foul.

I should be able to shoot free throws, right?

The idea is good, but it is difficult to implement.

He can't resist forcefully!

In basketball these days, you can use your hands to stop the opponent on defense.

So it's not that simple to force a confrontation.

Shay used his powerful strength to force Steve Smith to stop halfway.

Steve Smith: Are you going to let me in or not?

Shay: I told you to go home and wait for news!

Steve Smith has already finished the job before he even joins.

He didn't force the shot against Shea, but handed the ball to Peprowski who was occupying a position inside.

The white center received the basketball and turned around with a hook, giving Mutombo his fourth block of the game.

He actually wanted to play Mutombo in isolation at the basket. Peproski must have been unhappy in life.

After the counterattack, Shea and Mourning played a simple pick-and-roll, and then passed the ball behind the back to assist Mourning for a successful mid-range shot.

With 11 points and 9 assists, Shay is on his way to a double-double again today.

Michigan State trailed by 19 points and their lives were hanging by a thread.

If the score is extended to 20 points, not to mention whether there is enough time to make a comeback.

Even if it's enough, the hearts of the Michigan State players are probably already cold.

Being 19 points behind and 20 points behind, although the difference is only 1 point, the mentality is completely different.

Steve Smith knew that he had to stand up this time.

And, don’t let it slip again!

Shea would definitely be unable to beat him with the ball, so Steve Smith passed the ball up, hoping to create space by running without the ball.

This time Michigan State's offense was conducted very smoothly, smoothly and well.

Montgomery handed the ball to the second-in-command Stejner who was waiting for an opportunity to cut in, and Uncle Mu had to block it.

But Stejner passed the ball to Peprowski under the basket, forcing Mourning to defend.

Peproski passed the ball again and handed the ball to Hickman, who was temporarily freed.

Hickman was just about to shoot when he saw Shay coming up to help defend him.

Georgetown's defense is indeed very tight and can block the gaps in time every time.

But Hickman still didn't make the shot.

He stared at the basket and raised the basketball.

Passed the ball to Steve Smith in the corner without looking!

Through a series of conductions, Steve Smith finally got a shooting opportunity in the left corner!

Sure enough, you still have to rely on guidance to lead a better life!

Steve Smith saw that Shay had turned his gun and ran toward him, but at such a distance, he didn't think Shay could cover him, so he shot resolutely.

The moment Steve Smith shot, Shea took off almost at the same time.

Indeed, Shay's physical fitness is not as exaggerated as the future Fat Tiger. He can knock away the opponent's three-point shot directly from the mid-range.

But...Shay thinks it's still okay if he just dabbles!

Steve Smith watched the basketball fly out and almost passed Shay's hand, but was nudged by Shay's fingertips!

"this......"

Steve Smith's self-confidence completely collapsed, and even a pure open opportunity was taken.

Can this be played!?

After the basketball was rubbed, it began to fall immediately, and Mourning grabbed the ball.

Michigan coach Hurt's scalp was numb. He knew from the beginning that this would be a tough battle, but he never expected that Steve Smith would be defended so embarrassingly.

People like Shay shouldn't play in the NCAA. You'd better go to the NBA and torture others!

Mourning passed a long pass to Shea. After receiving the ball, Shea directly flew over Montgomery who was trying to defend him, and then made a one-handed dunk.

With a 21-point difference, Michigan State was completely destroyed by Georgetown.

Shay also completely destroyed Steve Smith!

This means that the top three players in the draft basically have nothing to do with Steve Smith.

But with Shay?

Maybe it might have something to do with it.
