The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

From the start, Harvard had the initiative in the game.

This is the consistent style of Wang Xiao's team. In the Ivy League, the Harvard school team will use suffocating defense to oppress opponents to gain an advantage at the beginning.

It was the same in the last round of 64 against Kansas State University, and today is no exception.

Harvard's oppressive defense made everyone at Davidson College, including Curry, very uncomfortable.

Wang Xiao's defensive tactics were born out of the NBA. With the vigorous training of the training system, his players' defensive abilities are already quite good. In addition, the presence of Plein on the inside and Jeremy Lin on the outside are like needles. , so that Harvard's overall defensive tactics are self-contained. Without a particularly sharp knife, it is absolutely impossible to tear such a defense easily.

Five minutes into the game, the Davidson College coach called a timeout.

At this time, the score of the two sides was 14:5. In a full 5 minutes, Davidson College only scored 5 points, averaging 1 point per minute.

This is Davidson College, which focuses on offense, and the whole team is a team that is good at shooting and scoring!

During the timeout, the head coach of Davidson College held the tactical board, looked at his players, opened his mouth but failed to say any tactical suggestions.

Harvard's tactics are actually very simple, just a one-on-one defense, supplemented by a tacit cooperation defense when defending pick-and-rolls.

No matter what kind of tactics are deployed, as long as you can't escape the circle of 1v1 single defense, you can't mention it.

Davidson College has several sets of off-ball running tactics specially designed for Curry, but Wang Xiao and Jack have long studied and arranged defensive strategies from Davidson College's game videos.

So Curry tried a few runs just now, but all failed.

Looking at several players who were eagerly watching him, the head coach of Davidson College struggled for a few tenths of a second, and then he looked at Curry seriously.

"Stephen, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. You should be able to see that the opponent has made special arrangements for us. The running tactics practiced before should be useless."

Curry nodded and panted slightly. The matchup with Jeremy Lin put him under a lot of pressure. The opponent was not only faster than him, but also stronger than him, and the opponent was also quite experienced in defense. ball.

"What should we do, Coach?"

"The opponent's intention is obvious, just to use 1v1 to limit you." The head coach of Davidson College took a deep breath. "So, if you want to break this shackle, there is only one way...you beat the opponent's point guard in 1v1!"

"Only when the opponent can't use single defense to defend you, can you tear through the opponent's defense and get more chances to score! Stephen, you need to defeat that kid!"

...

"How about it?"

On the other side, Wang Xiao asked Jeremy Lin.

Jeremy Lin nodded vigorously, "Coach, that guy is really difficult to deal with. He is the most difficult opponent I have ever met."

"Is this difficult? I'm afraid you won't say that when you meet Rose and Westbrook."

Wang Xiao couldn't help laughing.

Curry's threat comes from the three-pointer. As long as his three-pointer is locked, even if he is allowed to break into the inside, the lethality is very limited.

But Rose and Westbrook are different. These two people are truly masters of breakthroughs.

Although Jeremy Lin's speed is not slow, it is still slightly inferior to these two people.

More importantly, defensive players have a disadvantage of hindsight compared to offensive players. In many cases, even if you know that the opponent is going to break through from there, it is too late to stop the opponent.

Jeremy Lin could prevent Curry, but he might not be able to prevent those two people... What's more, Curry is not so easy to be prevented!

As the greatest three-point shooter in the future, if he is strictly guarded, there is nothing he can do. How can he score more than 400 three-pointers in a season?

"You have to be careful, that guy will find a way to launch a fierce attack next time, and you may not be able to stop it." Wang Xiao thought for a while, and then said: "If you find that you really can't stop the opponent's touch, you will ..."

After the timeout, the two sides played again. Jeremy Lin was surprised to find that Curry immediately launched a fierce attack on him.

After a quick dribble shaking from the outside, Curry immediately took a step back and shot a shot one step away from the three-point line.

Jeremy Lin was startled, and immediately flew forward to try to block the shot.

But Curry's shot speed was extremely fast, and Jeremy Lin found that he couldn't keep up with the blocked basketball!

This was the first time he faced Curry when the opponent shot a three-pointer, and he didn't expect the opponent's shooting speed to be so fast!

"frame!!"

The basketball arced across the sky before hitting the rim hard.

Although Jeremy Lin's block was not successful, it obviously interfered with Curry.

A missed shot didn't make Curry flinch, and soon he came again.

This time, he used his teammates' pick-and-rolls to shoot directly behind his teammates, this time also one step away from the three-point line.

"frame!"

Basketball strikes iron again.

But Wang Xiao's heart sank slightly.

The appearance of Curry at this time is exactly the state he is most afraid of...

Sure enough, Curry immediately made a comeback again.

After handing the ball to his teammate, Curry made a big circle on the inside and finally ran to the left corner. Although Jeremy Lin followed up immediately and reached out to interfere in time, Curry still resolutely caught the ball and shot.

The basketball soared into the air only a few centimeters away from Jeremy Lin's fingertips and flew towards the basket.

"brush!"

This time, basketball finally entered!

"YES!"

Curry waved his arm fiercely, looking at Jeremy Lin in protest.

"Nice job!"

The coach of Davidson College, the bench players beside him, even the fans and students who came to cheer for them cheered loudly.

Although it was only a three-pointer, this three-pointer against Jeremy Lin meant that the counterattack was about to start!

Just because you want to block our trump card? How can it be?

When everyone looked at Jeremy Lin in high spirits, the other party's move made the smile on the face of the coach of Davidson College freeze instantly.

Jeremy Lin didn't even look at Curry who was celebrating a three-pointer. He didn't hesitate at the moment the opponent made a shot, and immediately ran towards the baseline. The discus generally throws the basketball in the hand violently!

The basketball whizzed out, crossed half of the court in an instant, and appeared in Plaine's hands with incomparable precision the next moment.

At this time, people were shocked to find that at some point, Plain had already appeared outside the three-point line in the backcourt.

Facing the undefended opponent's basket, Plain made a shot from outside the three-point line.

Raising his hand, aiming, and shooting, Plain's shot speed is very slow, and it is completely incomparable with the lightning-like Curry, but the basketball falls into the basket with the same precision, and the point difference that has just been narrowed has returned to its original position in an instant .

Wang Xiao, who was standing on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, had a gleam in his eyes.

"Of course I know that you can't be defended by defense alone. Since you can't be defended, then use offense to defeat you!"
