The Way of the Center

After seeing Anjie score with a step-back jumper in front of Brook Lopez, many fans of the Stanford Crimson team thought it was just Anjie's luck. But An Jie's subsequent performances made it impossible for this group of guys to pick out any thorns.

On the offensive end, Anjie played singles with Brook Lopez again and again, flexible footwork, back-turning jumpers, hooks, dunks after inside cuts...Anjie showed his comprehensive offensive skills to his heart's content No matter how strong Brook Lopez is, it is impossible to defend against all of Anjie's scoring methods.

On the defensive end, Anjie also used a block to avenge his shame. That ball. Brook Lopez thought that he had swayed An Jie away with his footsteps, but An Jie slapped the basketball in Brook's hand from behind.

The last three minutes of the game in the first half are what the fans want to see today. Even though the wonderful duel between two strong centers was delayed for so long, the enthusiasm of the fans has not diminished in the slightest.

It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle to end the first half that the fans broke away from the extreme frenzy. Under An Jie's excellent performance, the Cyclone team actually recovered the 10-point difference and evened the score.

All fans find everyone around them sweating and hoarse. Anjie came from behind and did not disappoint the fans or the opponent Brook Lopez. The two of them deserve the cheers of all the fans present, the duel between two powerful centers, the fans have not seen such a scene for many years. There is a "Yao Shark War" in the NBA, and in the NCAA, the confrontation between Anjie and Lopez undoubtedly represents the war between the highest level centers.

Seeing An Jie, who had changed from the downturn and rebounded strongly in the last few minutes, Divac finally let out a long breath. It seemed that the kid's hard work in the past few months was indeed not in vain.

During the intermission, the big screen at the scene kept showing the wonderful pictures of the confrontation between the two big centers. The most direct confrontation, the most gorgeous skills. The whole collection looks like what Angie said, the purest art is also pure violence.

"Brook, is your physical fitness still normal?" In the locker room of Stanford University, Larry Myers asked his head star with concern. His abnormal performance in the last three minutes made Myers very worried.

"Physical strength is absolutely fine, coach, now you believe in the strength of that Chinese kid." Brook Lopez wiped the sweat from his brow, and playing confident Anjie will definitely bring him even more trouble in the second half.

"Offensive Brook, I want you to focus more on offense. If you continue to fight with that guy named Angie in the second half, your physical strength will be exhausted very quickly. Robin, you will come for your brother in the second half Watch out for that Asian guy." Miles still trusts Robin, the shot-blocking king. If Brook Lopez is the spear of Stanford University, then Robin Lopez is the strong backing of Stanford University.

"Leave it to me boss, brother, you just need to concentrate on attacking."

On the other side, Ricard also made corresponding adjustments after a half-court observation.

"You guys did a good job in the first half, but we need to do more to crack this tough bone! Double-teaming! I want you to double-team defense against Brook Lopez!" Ricard said in the video and In the actual combat just now, a problem was found, that is, when facing double-teams, Brook could not pass the ball as skillfully as Anjie.

"On offense, I need to see other people's efforts! Brook Lopez is a tall and slow low-post center. Mike Taylor's consecutive scoring at the beginning of the game has proved his slowness. Maybe one-on-one defense Anjie is very strong, but in terms of overall defense, Brooke may not be better than his younger brother Robin. You just give me a point to highlight Brooke, and make him tired of coping!" Ricard said in one breath It's all said and done, as for how much can be accomplished, it depends on the group of young men below.

The second half of the game kicked off with the eager cheers of the fans. The fans once again fell into extreme madness, and they spared no effort to cheer for their team.

"The Iowa State University Cyclones team is really ready to fight to the end. Before the game, who would have thought that the Cyclones team, which has not been in the March Madness Championship for 22 years, can now tie with the giant Stanford University after halftime. .Coach Larry Myers must have thought that he had drawn a good pick when he first got the roster, but he certainly doesn’t think so now.” As soon as the ESPN commentator finished speaking, the camera turned to Larry Myers A close-up of Erles' face. The white-haired coach is now frowning, focusing on the movements on the court.

Robin Lopez spared no effort to defend Anjie according to the coach's arrangement, but Anjie was so disturbed that he couldn't even get a position. But it doesn't matter, the focus of offense on the court is not him now.

Mike Taylor had the ball, and this time it was Asakin who came up to pick and roll him. This is a seemingly ordinary tactical coordination, but many people are a little surprised when they see it.

The whirlwind team's high pick-and-roll has always been handed over to Anjie, and the facts have also proved that the pick-and-roll cooperation between Anjie and Mike Taylor is very efficient. But now, it is rare for people to see that slow white man mentioning the high position to pick and roll. Could it be that Anjie has been entangled by Robin Lopez to the point where he can't even do the pick and roll?

Brook Lopez was in a bit of a dilemma. He didn't know whether he wanted to follow Asakin to a high position. Although Asakin's mid-range shooting is not as accurate as Anjie's, it doesn't mean that there is no threat at all.

"Now the score is stalemate, we can't let the opponent get any chance to score easily!" Brook Lopez thought about it, and followed Asakin out of the three-second zone.

When Mike Taylor saw Brook Lopez coming out, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. Another center, Robin, was fighting An Jie, and he had no intention of taking care of things here. This attack can be said to have been half completed.

Seeing this, Cruz immediately pulled his opponent out of the three-point line, while Anthony Ben kept interspersed with running positions to attract the defender's attention. Before they knew it, the Cyclones had given Mike Taylor the space to attack. All the foreshadowing has been completed, and now it depends on whether Mike Taylor can end the offense.

Asakin picks and rolls, Mike Taylor starts, and it's exactly the same as before. Asakin was originally bigger than Anjie, so although the timing of the pick-and-roll was a bit off, it still successfully blocked Mike Taylor's matchup.

After Brook Lopez saw his point guard lose his defensive position, he immediately moved across to prepare to switch to Mike Taylor. But as Ricard said, when facing a defender like Mike Taylor, Brook Lopez is too slow. Taylor used speed to overtake the car and broke through before Brook got in the way of the attack.

Robin found that the opponent's player was attacking the basket, so he wanted to shake off Anjie's entangled arms, and then defended to the basket. But how could An Jie let Robin get rid of him so easily? He secretly tugged on Robin's jersey, trying to slow down his pace of defending.

"Mike Taylor broke through the penalty area unimpeded all the way! He is about to lay up! It's Robin! Robin, the shot-blocking king of Stanford University, took off with all his strength to stop the attack!" The ESPN commentator was full of enthusiasm, but beside them Ai The narrators of the third channel in Mus City were obviously much calmer.

"It's useless for Robin to defend the ball. Mike Taylor will not waste the opportunity created for him by everyone." Paul Philips said the result with certainty before Taylor made the ball. .

Sure enough, as Philips said, after being delayed by Anjie, Robin almost blocked the ball, but the results of almost and many misses were the same, and they couldn't block anyway. Mike Taylor's layup undoubtedly fell into the net. Although on the surface it seemed that this was Mike Taylor's solo single, the ball was indeed the result of the teamwork of the Cyclones team.

Brook Lopez can defend the center, but it doesn't mean he can defend the impact of outside players. Most perimeter players can clean up Brook Lopez in just one step, and Mike Taylor is no exception.

If Brook Lopez and Anjie are still facing each other, then other players may face more pressure on Robin's defense. Although Robin was at a disadvantage in one-on-one defense against An Jie, he still had a lot of experience in dealing with outside players who dared to break into the penalty area. But because of the deployment of coach Larry Myers, the situation is now reversed. Robin's hard work may make Anjie very uncomfortable, but Brook has no way to deal with the impact of outside players.

But Miles knows that the real value of Brook Lopez is on the offensive end, and defense has never been what Brook Lopez relies on for survival.

Brook received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area, and the defender who appeared in front of him became the tall and thin Chinese again.

Brook has always been full of confidence on the offensive end, and he had a slight upper hand against the Chinese in the first half of the game. But this time he found that An was not the only one behind him defending him, and Cruz also ran to the penalty area to surround him. Double team!

"Use double-teaming on Brook? Then what are you going to do with Markle?" Larry Myers still trusts his shooting ability as a shooting guard. Double-teaming can't solve your defensive problems at all!

But the seasoned Myers overlooked a very crucial thing, that is, first of all, Brook Lopez must be able to pass the ball to Bruce Markle in a double-team situation. Otherwise, no matter how big Markle's vacancy is, it will not help.

Faced with the entanglement between Anjie and Cruz, Brook could only draw circles in the air with the ball, avoiding the arms stretching towards the basketball. Brook's vision was greatly disturbed, and he was not calm enough in the face of double-teaming.

Brook finally managed to throw the ball, but it was a poor pass. Anthony Ben saw the timing and kicked out, confiscating the basketball in the middle of the passing route.

The one-stop attack after the interception in the middle is the specialty of Anthony Ben, who has excellent athletic ability. He's a defensive perimeter player and therefore doesn't do much offensively, so Anthony Ben isn't going to waste a chance to put himself in the spotlight.

Ben's explosive power in an instant was beyond everyone's reach. He ran to the opponent's half in a few steps, and he also distanced himself from Stanford's defensive players.

After a big step from the free throw line, Anthony Benn soared into the air. He raised the basketball high above his head with his right hand, and dunked it according to the basket that was getting closer and closer to him.

"Tomahawk slash! Anthony Ben! Wonderful!"

After seeing Anthony Ben complete the dunk, Ricard waved his fist in satisfaction, defending and attacking one at a time, Ricard already saw that his tactics were successful.

Brook Lopez is great, but he is still just a college player after all, and he still needs to improve and improve a lot. But Ricard can't wait for you to face Brook after you have trained. Ricard can use whatever shortcomings you have. He is not a picky eater.
