Super Lord of the Rings

On March 22, the first round of the championship began.

Kentucky, Louisville and other teams that took the lead in the Midwest Division advanced smoothly.

The Wolverines play Florida on the 23rd.

David did not arrange a double pick-and-roll for Wang Jun, but Luke played a pick-and-roll with Kaman in the high position, and Bobby gave Wang Jun an off-ball screen from the side.

This is a targeted arrangement. University of Florida center Leonardo is a chunky tank with slow movement, and core forward David Lee is not good at defending pick-and-rolls.

After the start of the game, the offensive efficiency of both sides was very high, and Bobby unexpectedly scored 8 points in a row.

When there is no ball covering, David Lee always switches to Wang Jun immediately, and Bobby cuts casually. Luke breaks through after the pick-and-roll to attract Leonardo's defense, and sends a light send to the inside. Bobby is either open or misplaced.

Florida's main tactic is also the pick-and-roll. David Lee is sure no matter whether he jumps in the middle or plays in the low position. Wang Jun can't defend one-on-one, and it is Kaman who reduces his efficiency.

The offense was okay, but Florida's defense was terrible, and it has been falling behind since the start.

Wang Jun's performance was quite satisfactory, moving the ball around, running around, and shooting when there was an obvious opportunity.

The tactics are as David said, Kaman is the core of the offense, and he shoots from the outside, not just for Wang Jun, whoever has a good chance will shoot.

In the end, 87 to 70, the Wolverines easily advanced to the top 32.

Five members of the team scored in double figures, and the teammates finally stopped playing soy sauce.

Bobby had 16 points, Harris had 14 points, Luke had 11 points and 10 assists, Kaman had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists. Wang Jun made 7 of 14 shots and 4 of 9 three-pointers. He scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

David Hornacek proved himself. In the second year alone, he swept away the Wolverines and led the team to the top 32 of the tournament.

The downside of Wolverine singing all the way is that job-hunting Jill Adamson is out of luck.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Before hiring, the school must check Adamson's previous qualifications. After seeing that he had made a bet for looking down on Wang Jun and David, he immediately passed.

It is difficult for him to become a high school coach. No team wants this kind of stubborn, paranoid, and nepotism.

In another game that day, the Duke University Blue Devils also defeated their opponents and advanced smoothly.

The Wolverines VS Blue Devils aroused widespread media attention, and many media broadcast live.

In the first season of the Michigan Five Tigers, in the 1992 NCAA finals, the Wolverines lost to the experienced Duke and watched Duke defend the title. They never met again after that.

Did Wolverine succeed in revenge, or did he add another wound?

In any case, only one of the two teams will advance to the Sweet Sixteen.

Duke is recognized as a basketball star-making school. Not only has it sent many NBA players, but its coaches are also very famous. It is not an exaggeration to say that "Old K" Mike Krzyzewski is the most famous coach in the NCAA.

"Old K" entered the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001 and led the Duke University team to an impressive record in the NCAA league.

Looking back on his 23-year coaching history at Duke University, he was selected as the best college coach 12 times, and led Duke University to win an average of more than 25 games in a season, of which 8 times exceeded 30 games. In the last 6 seasons, There are more than 30 victories in 5 years, creating an NCAA coaching record.

Currently, the Blue Devils have four players on the radar of NBA scouts.

Point guard Chris Duhon is 185cm tall and weighs 84kg.

He was the champion of the McDonald's High School All-Star Three-Point Contest and was praised as the best point guard in the 2000 high school class. In the first year of entering Duke University in 2001, he won the NCAA championship as an important rotation player. Today, his name is filled with various data records.

However, Duhon's progress was slow, and he was robbed of the limelight by Jay Williams last season.

Now he can't be called the absolute core in the team. As he gets older, his draft evaluation gets lower and lower.

Shooting guard JJ Redick. Freshman student, height 193cm, weight 83kg.

Redick also won a bunch of dazzling honors in high school.

McDonald's First Team All-American, McDonald's High School All-Star Game MVP, McDonald's All-Star Game Three-Point Contest Champion, Virginia State High School Mr. Basketball.

He's off to a perfect start at Duke, averaging 16.3 points per game this year and shooting 46.8 percent from three.

Small forward Dengtai Jones is 198cm tall and weighs 95kg.

Jones studied at Rutgers University from 1998 to 2000 and transferred to Duke University in 2001. This season, he averaged 17.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

That's right, colleges can also be transferred to poach people. After Battier entered the NBA in 2001, Jones was the defensive leader who replaced him.

His mid-range and long-range shots are mediocre, but he has terrifying defensive tenacity. He has strong physical fitness, and he can also break through and score on the offensive end. Fast breaks and air cuts are his forte, and he often staged jaw-dropping exaggerated dunks.

Power forward Sheldon Williams is 204cm tall with shoes on and weighs 115kg.

In the first grade, he quickly became the core of the team's inside line, rebounding and blocking inside offense.

Regardless of his short stature, his wingspan has reached an astonishing 224CM. His body is extremely strong, his speed is not slow, his bounce is excellent, and he often sends big caps on the defensive end.

Compared with Duke, only Wang Jun and Kaman are noticeably shorter than Wolverine.

Almost all the media believe that Duke has a better chance of advancing, and the Wolverines have been "black enough" so far, and it is difficult to continue to be black.

If it weren't for Jay Williams, Dunleavy, and Boozer who graduated early last season, the Wolverines would have no chance of winning, and it would probably be a massacre.

Before the game even started, the media first sieged the Wolverines.

In this atmosphere, many Wolverine players feel nervous.

In the hotel, David called a small meeting in his room, and a group of big men filled the bedroom to the brim.

"It's true that Duke is more famous than us and has more players in the NBA's attention, but that doesn't mean they are superior. Why did we become the seed team ahead of them? Bobby, you can answer." David pointed out He pointed to the captain.

Bobby reacted quickly and said loudly, "Because our record in the division is better."

"That's right! In the first two seasons, Duke was indeed playing with a group of NBA-level players, but this season they have two first-year rookies, and one of them is against a poor shooting guard. Wang Jun can beat him single-handedly. Another Williams, 204cm tall, I don't believe he can guard Chris, we have a clear advantage." David said loudly.

The mentality of the players immediately relaxed a lot.

David emphasized Duke's strengths again.

"In this game, we should mainly defend the perimeter. They have two guards who are good at shooting three-pointers. They cooperate a lot in pick-and-rolls. Don't hesitate to switch defenses. They would rather put in and score two points than let the opponent shoot from the outside. Wang and Mike is the key, no matter who is facing Redick, try to attack him as much as possible, beat him down, Duke's peripheral containment will drop a lot."

Wang Jun immediately raised his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone give me the ball, and I will take care of that kid."

According to the information, Redick is shorter than him and weighs 40 pounds less. The strong hits he practiced during this period will definitely come in handy.

This game, the offense, is the best defense.
