NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

The McDyess that Joe Smith just practiced.

It was the star player of the University of Alabama, Antonio McDyess, a sophomore in college.

This star player who averaged 25.8 points, 14.7 rebounds and 5.3 blocks per game is also a hot pick in this year's NBA draft.

The University of Alabama is also the opponent of the University of Arizona in the next round of 16-to-8, and the strength is very strong!

In the original history of 1995, it finally made it to the semi-finals.

(If you don't know the University of Alabama, you can search how the national men's basketball team of the Flower Planting Family lost to the university team by 12 points. The team that beat the Flower Planting Family three times was the men's basketball team of the University of Alabama!)

The day before the game, Coach Olsen took his team to analyze the specific information of the University of Alabama basketball team.

Among them, Antonio McDyess, the star player of the University of Alabama, was introduced in particular.

"Antonio McDyess, 206cm tall, 111kg in weight, Flower, you have a certain advantage in height, wingspan and jumping."

"But the entire Alabama offense revolves around McDyess."

"Their head coach has tailored a set of offensive passing and cutting tactics for him!"

"In every game, McDyess leads by a large margin in rebounds and points!"

"So, Flower!"

Coach Olsen said seriously:

"In the next game, I don't need you to bear any offensive pressure."

"As long as you defend McDyess with all your strength, we can win!"

"Don't worry, boss ! I will be ready! ”

Seeing this, Das also supported his good friend and said:

"Leave the offense to me."

"Flower, as long as you can beat McDyess in the next game, you will be completely famous in the United States!"

Flower said:

"It's easy to talk without feeling any pain in the waist!"

"But~ McDyess who is about to enter the NBA!"

"What were this guy's statistics in the NBA rookie season?"

"No matter! Anyway, I feel more relieved that he is not as good as that [idiot]!"

Flower does not think that he will lose to McDyess with his 82-point comprehensive strength rating, and he can be the starting power forward in any NBA team. At least!~ It's okay to explode each other!

(In the 1995-96 season, McDyess averaged 30 minutes of playing time in his rookie season, averaging 13.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. He started 75 times in 76 games, contributed 20 double-doubles, ranked 6th among rookies in average points and 3rd among rookies in rebounds. After the season ended, he was selected to the All-Rookie First Team.

The author gives McDyess a score of about 85 points in his sophomore year!

After all, he was able to start in the NBA and was selected to the All-NBA Third Team and All-Star team in his career!)

Time came to the NCAA quarterfinals, with the University of Arizona playing against the University of Alabama.

At the end of the first half, Coach Olsen was both angry and happy.

What made him angry was that in this quarterfinal against the University of Alabama.

From the beginning, Damon Stoudemire had no touch and was very unreliable.

In the entire first half, he made 3 of 12 shots and was blocked twice by McDyess on the breakthrough!

The good news is that Flower, who was originally very worried about his own inside line, played very steadily in this game!

In the matchup with the draft favorite ~ McDyess, not only was he not beaten into a sieve by McDyess.

He also formed a mutual explosion with the latter on the offensive end!

Although he did not fulfill Coach Olsen's pre-match expectations and suppress McDyess's offense.

But it was beyond his expectations!

This is also the reason why the University of Arizona kept close to the University of Alabama in the first half.

At the end of the half, the score was 34:38, and the University of Alabama led by 6 points.

During the halftime break, the commentators were also very dedicated to analyzing the situation of the game.

They praised McDyess, who played well in the first half.

"Oh, it looks like our unbeatable seeded team Arizona has met a strong opponent!"

"It's no wonder, after all, McDyess is a star player in the NCAA and a hot pick in this year's draft!"

Commentator MacArthur flipped open the data board and said:

"Let me see~ In the first half of the game, McDyess has scored 13 points, 5 rebounds, 3 blocks, 3 assists, and 1 steal."

"Based on this data, if McDyess participates in this year's NBA draft, he deserves a top lottery pick.Show the pick position!"

"You know, there are not many big men like him at the 4th and 5th positions in the league!"

Another female commentator, Becken Lynch, took over and said:

"Speaking of big men at the 4th position, you may have noticed it!"

"The 4th position of the Arizona Wildcats~the red-haired Flower that fans and spectators can never ignore is always so eye-catching!"

"In this game, he faced McDyess in the first half and scored 9 points, 6 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 assists in the first half."

The performance was also very good, and it can be said that he was on par with McDyess!"

The two commentators confirmed their eyes and reached a consensus.

I think the key to the second half of the game lies in another star player in the two teams~Damon Stoudemire.

See if he can play his strength in the second half and break the ice again after being frozen in the first half!

In the locker room, during the halftime break, Coach Olsen gave a mobilization speech to the players:

"Maybe most of you think that we are satisfied and happy with our entry into March Madness and our first-round victory."

"But I think this is too unprogressive!"

"Guys! We have two star players in Arizona, and other positions are also strong players!"

"If it's like Wake Forest, the Tigers can't stand up to the Wolves and are eliminated, that's a little easier to say!"

"But Damon, Flower, you are two college basketball stars who are about to participate in the draft."

"Do you want to admit that the two of you five-star potential college students combined are not as good as the Wake Forest [Flying Devil]?"

"If so, I would rather surrender and admit defeat in the second half!"

"I don't want this game to affect your draft stock~"

Das blushed with shame when he heard this.

He knew that the team didn't play the tactics in the first half, and the main reason for falling behind was himself!

For now, Flower has done well enough.

As long as I can give it a little more strength, and show 80% of my usual touch and 100% of my condition.

Then the first half will definitely not be the situation where we are 6 points behind now.

You have to know that this is 1995, and it is still the era when the offense relies on 2 points and 2 points. The gap of 6 points is already a big pit!

Especially when the opponent is a strong team like Alabama.

"Damn it! We must win!"

Big S shouted loudly:

"Everyone, I can't guarantee whether my touch will recover in the second half."

"But~ If it really can't recover, I will turn the ball into assists one by one and hand it to you."

"Please seize the opportunity and help Arizona reach the top 8!"

Big S's words gave everyone the message of "go all out and win"!

With the determination of "must die", the players of the Arizona Wildcats left the locker room.

They walked out of the locker room swearing and shouting all the way from the player channel and returned to the court.

"Flower..."

Coach Olson grabbed Flower, and Flower said directly:

"Boss, don't worry, I know what you are going to say!"

"I will teach McDyess a lesson in the paint!"

After that, Flower turned around and followed his teammates into the court.

Coach Olson was speechless:

"No, I mean~ if Damon still can't get his touch back on the court, you have to learn to take over the game and the ball!"

But looking at Flower on the court, he decided not to say anything more, and let fate take its course in the second half!
