One Guard

In the locker room, Stevens picked up the remote and turned off the TV. On the TV, the first game of the Final Four was being broadcast live, Duke vs. West Virginia University.

The NCAA final four will use two games to determine the final two championship contending teams, but the two games do not start at the same time. The game between Duke and West Virginia started at 6:00 pm, while Yiyang's game didn't start until 8:00 pm.

Duke had built a 17-point lead before Stevens turned off the TV. Moreover, West Virginia's leading star, "Lore King" Darcyen Butler was injured midway, which completely lost the suspense of the game.

Unless West Virginia creates a miracle in the last five minutes of the game, otherwise, the old coach K will once again lead his "Blue Devils" to the final.

How powerful Duke is, how wise old K is. Naturally, Stevens didn't need to remind the players of these things. But now that the Bulldogs' Final Four has not yet begun, he doesn't want the players to focus on anything other than the game. So, the young marshal chose to turn off the TV and clapped everyone's hands!

"It's about to play! Are you ready!?" The young marshal's voice was still loud.

"No problem!" The players answered in unison. Although this group of guys participated in the NCAA March Madness Final Four for the first time, their morale was already high and they would not be afraid of any difficulties at the moment.

"Remember, our opponent is the Kansas City Wildcats, not Duke! Win this game for me, and then, let's go win the championship!" Brad Stevens waved his fist. The group of young people screamed loudly one by one.

It's almost time to let these hungry pit bulls go hunting!

Since the NCAA Final Four came to Indianapolis this year, a city that is very paranoid about basketball, so at the scene, the Bulldogs fans in blue T-shirts turned the entire arena It has become a beautiful "water world".

As a native of Indianapolis, it's no surprise that the Bulldogs have enjoyed such popularity. What's more, the Bulldogs also made history this year, and the counterattack of the small club usually makes many fans crazy. In the history of Indianapolis, there have been too many such legendary stories.

Mu Ran was squeezed into the press area, and the number of media that came to report the game today was several times that of the previous games. After all, the Final Four is already the most essential part of the NCAA March Madness Tournament. No media, no fans want to let go of such a game.

The excited Yiyang did not stand at the end of the team today, but took Sherwin Mark to stand at the front of the team! When the No. 1 guard led the rest of the Bulldogs out of the player tunnel, the entire stadium was almost overturned by the shouts of fans.

Stevens stood on the sidelines with his waist thrust in, enjoying the frenetic basketball atmosphere. Even coaching in the NBA must not be so wonderful! This is March Madness, this is the final four!

"Friends in the audience, the Butler University Bulldogs are now on the field! It can be said that this team is full of legends to be able to come to the stage today! An unknown small team and a young coach, stupefied He defeated one strong opponent after another in the tournament and finally made it to the semi-finals! Audience friends, this is not a movie, but a fact! Today, let us see if Butler can continue his legendary footsteps! What do you think? , Chris." T.NT TV has also found a big-name commentary partner for Reggie Miller today for the live broadcast effect, former NBA legendary forward, Chris Webber!

"Oh, of course I am also looking forward to this game! Seriously, if I had to choose between the NBA and the NCAA today, I would definitely choose the NCAA! The game between Duke and West Virginia is over,

The Duke Blue Devils made it to the finals again, aiming for the championship! Now, let's take a look at the strength of Duke's two potential opponents! As soon as Webber finished speaking, the on-site photographer turned the camera to the court.

Over there, players from the Kansas State Wildcats have also appeared one after another. The white center Cole Aldridge, who averaged 12.1 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, and the shooting guard Xavier Henry, who averaged 14.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, are Kansas The backbone of being able to reach the final four this year!

Regardless of the statistics of these two guys, they may not be so "super", but on the basketball court, this combination of inside and outside is not easy to deal with.

Cole Aldridge has a wingspan of 2.26 meters. One-on-one defense, rebounding and blocking are the strengths of this white big man. With him, Kansas State's interior defense is impenetrable.

Don't think that Cole is just a blue-collar big man. This guy has a very soft touch on the offensive end, and his range can even extend beyond the three-point line. On both ends of the floor, he's been a stalwart for the Wildcats.

As for Xavier Henry, needless to say, tall outside, soft touch, strong body, able to shoot and attack, can defend and grab, is a modern defender with a jack of all trades.

Kansas State's classic combination of inside and outside can also allow their head coach Marvin Scott to have a lot of tactical changes.

The eager fans cheered louder and louder, and the referee finally summoned the players from both sides to move closer to the middle. The life-and-death battle to determine the final place in the final is about to begin!

From the very beginning, Cole Aldridge showed that he is more athletic than the average white man. Also a white center, Matt Howard is far behind Cole Aldridge in terms of height and jumping.

The basketball was easily taken away by the Wildcats, and Kansas City Wildcats starting point guard Mike Daniels advanced steadily.

Unlike many NCAA stars, Xavier Henry and Cole Aldridge will not rely too much on their personal abilities to grab points. They can integrate well into the system and become the drivers of the whole system. Therefore, it is useless to strengthen the defense against two people, because the threat of the Wildcats comes from their entire team!

No, the mediocre athletic Mike Daniels just got the ball beyond the three-point line when Cole Aldridge came up and made a pick-and-roll for his No. 1 position. It looks like Mike Daniels is the star and Cole is just a blue-collar player.

Matt Howard knew that Cole's shooting ability was amazing, so he also followed the pick-and-roll defense, and he couldn't give Cole a chance to shoot from a wide open position at the beginning of the game.

Mike Daniels used the pick-and-roll to break through Yiyang, but Yiyang used his speed advantage to quickly get in front of Daniels again. Meanwhile, Xavier Henry struggled to move toward the weak side of the court, trying to open space for Cole Aldridge and Daniels.

But Daniels was not the end point of this attack. He raised his hand and passed, and the basketball flew over Yiyang's head. Cole Aldridge suddenly moved everything inside, and instantly got half of Matt away!

Although he is bigger in weight and height than Matt, Cole Aldridge's athletic ability is much better than Matt Howard's.

This guy's sudden inward cut made Matt Howard unable to bite at all. So, the white center caught the basketball easily. Facing the unguarded basket that had been emptied by Henry, Cole suddenly jumped up and pulled vigorously!

"WOW, a violent dunk from a big center! God, I feel like he is about to pull the basket off!" Chris Webber screamed strangely, Cole and Matt are not at the same level of players at all!

For this ball, Stevens could only shake his head helplessly. The tactics of the Wildcats' offense are not complicated, but the ability gap between Matt and Cole cannot be changed in tactics.

After the goal, Cole Aldridge and Xavier Henry gave a high five. They have undoubtedly given Butler University a strong blow!

Yiyang took the baseline ball from Matt and slowly advanced towards the wildcats' hinterland. He wasn't afraid of this white center and that black guard, even though they had just completed a wonderful offense.

"Don't worry, I'll give you one back!" the No. 1 guard said secretly in his heart...
