The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

It is unrealistic to completely prevent a player at the MVP level in the future, let alone Curry, even if Wang Xiao asked Plain to target Beasley in the last game, the latter still scored a double-double. This is true for parallel importers who haven't played seriously in the NBA for several seasons, let alone Curry?

Although Beasley is much more famous than Curry now, and he is still the top pick this year, but in Wang Xiao's mind, even Curry, who has not grown up yet, should be more threatening than Beasley.

In this case, it is obviously not a perfect tactic to guard against death. He must consider what to do once Curry feels hot and can't stop him?

The answer is confrontation.

Since I can't guard against you, let's have a confrontation battle!

Wang Xiao's team is not a team that is good at offense. From the moment he got the growth cards of Kidd and Battier, he set the tone of the whole team as a defensive team.

But this does not mean that Harvard's offense is a weakness.

It is true that among the Harvard players, apart from Jeremy Lin, there are almost no offensive points with the ball, but Jeremy Lin alone is enough!

The Kidd Growth Template Card is not for watching! The second-highest assist legend in history is an absolute master at controlling the tempo.

Jeremy Lin is of course far from reaching the level of peak Kidd, but using the pass to speed up the team is not difficult for him.

It is Kidd's specialty to take off the rebound and pass the teammate for a fast break. Passing the ball with one hand and one shoulder is even more proficient and extremely accurate.

How could it be possible for Wang Xiao not to exercise Jeremy Lin's ability in this aspect in daily training?

In the Ivy League, Harvard's most used scoring method is defensive counterattack.

Whether it's a steal to block the opponent and then a fast break, or a quick counterattack with a rebound, with Jeremy Lin's pass, Harvard's players can always get closer to the basket one step ahead of the opponent's defender.

It’s just that this kind of fast break is also accompanied by certain risks. Once the fast break fails and is intercepted or defended by the opponent, if the opponent follows up with a fast break and the players have not yet returned to their respective positions, the defense that Harvard relies on for survival It can't be expanded, after all, Harvard's players are not all defensive champions, without Jeremy Lin and Plain's position to help defend, other players still have a certain gap compared with players trained in other NCAA leagues.

...

Curry's touch gradually heated up in his determined shooting, but the point difference between Davidson College and Harvard University not only did not shorten, but widened even wider!

Every time Harvard played fast breaks, Davidson College was in a hurry. They tried to cut off Jeremy Lin's passing route, but it turned out that this was useless. Although it was almost half a court away, Jeremy Lin could always find a suitable teammate. The catch position.

In desperation, Davidson College can only keep a close eye on those Harvard players who are ready to go down at any time.

But in this way, there are very few players who can assist Curry on the offensive end. In many cases, Curry can only face Jeremy Lin's defense alone.

Throughout the first half, the game was like a contest between two people.

Harvard University scored 42 points in the first half, while Davidson College scored 27 points. The two sides maintained a point difference close to 15 points. As the team's main attack point, Davidson College's Curry hit 4 three-pointers in the first half With the ball, Davidson College scored a total of 27 points, and Curry scored 19 points alone.

Curry's powerful firepower surprised the scouts and media reporters watching the game. They could see how strict Jeremy Lin was with Curry. In this case, Curry could still score 19 points. They'll have to reevaluate this skinny guy.

But what surprised them even more was the performance of Jeremy Lin of Harvard University.

Jeremy Lin's halftime score was lower than Curry's, but even so, he scored 12 points. Correspondingly, he sent 7 assists in the halftime and 0 turnovers!

The NCAA is different from the NBA. Not only is the game time 8 minutes shorter than the NBA, but each round is also longer than the NBA.

The NBA's round time is 24 seconds, and the NCAA's round time is 35 seconds, which is a full 11 seconds longer than the NBA.

Such rules also make the rhythm of the NCAA much slower than the NBA. The average point guard can have 7 to 8 assists in the whole game, which is already a very good passer, but Jeremy Lin sent 7 times in the half. Assists, and not even a turnover, which is a bit too exaggerated.

They all watched the game just now. Most of Jeremy Lin’s assists were long-distance fast-break passes, passing from the backcourt directly across half the court to the frontcourt. The possibility of making mistakes and being intercepted was extremely high, but Jeremy Lin But they maintain an astonishing success rate, which makes them not to rethink Jeremy Lin's passing ability.

After returning from the second half, Davidson College launched a fierce attack again under the leadership of Curry, while Jeremy Lin led the Harvard players to guard against the 15-point lead.

Curry kept hitting three-pointers, bringing the score closer again and again, and even narrowed the score gap to less than 10 points at one point.

But Jeremy Lin was also not to be outdone. While continuously breaking through Curry's defense and causing huge damage to the inside, he even made two three-pointers from the outside.

The 20-minute game was fleeting, and when the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the score between the two sides was fixed at 87:76.

Harvard won the game by 11 points.

Jeremy Lin scored 27 points, 12 assists and 6 steals, while Curry, who was facing him, scored 42 points and made 8 of 17 three-pointers.

The two staged an offensive feast in different ways.

After the game, Jeremy Lin looked at Curry and spoke to Wang Xiao from the bottom of his heart.

"Coach, this guy is indeed as...difficult as you said."

Regarding defense, Jeremy Lin has always been very confident, even Plain is not as good as him in defense.

But in the face of his strict defense, this thin-looking guy actually scored 42 points! And made 8 three-pointers with a 47% shooting rate! This hit rate is higher than that of many defenders.

"You won this time." Wang Xiao said with a smile: "But don't be complacent. You will meet again in the NBA soon. If you don't want to lose to him, train hard."

Harvard stunned the media once again with an upset victory over Davidson.

No one could have imagined that Davidson College, which ranked tenth in the United States and killed the seventh-highest university in the United States in the top 64, would lose to a team from the Ivy League!

Tenth vs. forty-seventh, this should have been a match without any suspense!

Many people couldn't help but think of what Wang Xiao said in an interview with reporters not long ago.

"Harvard University's strength is far beyond the 47th in the United States. We have to be ranked in the top ten in the country."
