Chapter 44: Battle against the Three Musketeers!
"You don't think you can defeat me like this?"
As Deron spoke, he made a ground pass to Warriors center Steven Bradrick.
Although he is called a center, he is actually a forward.
Has shooting ability and is faster than traditional inside players.
"Don't underestimate the Cowboys! Deron Williams."
After hearing Tony's trash talk, Deron realized something was wrong and turned around.
A yellow figure came into view.
Snapped!
Lin Yu intercepted Deron's pass, then accelerated and started a fast break.
In fact, old Kenny had already anticipated such a situation.
As a blue-collar center, Holmes certainly can't keep up with the Warriors' running and gunning speed.
With four defending five, it was inevitable that the Cowboys would miss some players.
The Warriors have Deron and Dee Brown, who are very good at passing the ball.
When encountering defense and there are no good opportunities to shoot, in this case, there is a high probability that the ball will be passed to a teammate in an open position.
This is why Lin Yu was able to predict Deron's passing route and complete the steal and fast break.
Lin Yu was extremely fast, and Dee Brown and Luther Head reacted the fastest and wanted to defend Lin Yu.
But the height of the two men determined that they could not stop Lin Yu from rushing to the basket.
Bang!
Following a successful slam dunk, cheers suddenly erupted in Madison Square Garden like a volcano!
"Another dunk! Lin Yu showed his dominance on both offense and defense right from the start!"
Smith was not stingy with his praise at this time.
When Old Kenny saw this scene, he nodded with satisfaction.
There was a hint of disdain in the eyes of Bruce Weber, the head coach of the University of Illinois Warriors.
attack?
Defense wins championships!
Bruns Weber looked at Lin Yu on the court and frowned involuntarily.
"The Cowboys deserve to be ranked fifth by the media, but we haven't lost yet!"
The Warriors continued to attack.
Although the Warriors are good at run-and-gun tactics, they are also good at using movement and screens to catch the ball and shoot.
Deron and his two teammates used running to attract the Cowboys' defense.
Deron used Luther Head's cover to break away from Tony's defense as soon as he caught the ball.
Tony and Joey squeezed through the screen and double-teamed Deron.
Deron made a ground pass to Luther Head, who received the ball outside the three-point line and shot directly.
Swish!
The basketball goes hollow into the net.
Lin Yu was not surprised to see this scene. After all, how could a team ranked second by the media be so easy to deal with?
Old Kenny on the sidelines was very dissatisfied at this time because this was not the defense he expected.
"Tony, you have to forget the previous tactics and switch defenses faster!"
Tony didn't say anything but just nodded, because the double-team just now was definitely not the defensive tactic arranged by old Kenny.
Old Kenny's tactic is Tony and others to prevent the Illinois Three Musketeers from shooting!
Lucas began to organize the offense, and Lin Yu directly reached out for the ball outside the three-point line at 45 on the wing.
"John Lucas III gave the ball to Lin Yu! Lin Yu is going to play one-on-one!"
Barkley also began to look forward to it at this time.
On the court, Warriors power forward James Augustine looked at Lin Yu in front of him and couldn't help but become nervous.
The tactical team has always had poor defense because they play with a small lineup.
But this does not mean that they have not studied Lin Yu.
Accurate projection!
The first step is extremely fast!
The most important thing is that Lin Yu can pass the ball. James Augustine didn't dare to get too close to Lin Yu, fearing that Lin Yu would rely on his speed advantage to pass him in one step.
The next moment, Lin Yu made a direct move.
Relying on his abnormal speed and jumping speed, coupled with his terrifying arm span.
At this time, there was basically no player in the NCAA who could block Lin Yu's pull-up shot.
At the very least, James Augustine in front of him couldn't block the shot.
Swish!
The basketball goes hollow into the net.
"Another three-pointer! Lin Yu scored 7 points at the start. Is he going to compete against the Illinois Three Musketeers alone?"
Smith did not expect that Lin Yu had such a strong desire to attack today.
Old Kenny on the sidelines nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene.
Letting Lin Yu have an empty turn was also one of his tactics today.
Don’t the Warriors love to attack?
When an NCAA offensive killer is firing on all cylinders, Old Kenny wants to see how the tactical team will handle it!
The Warriors began to attack.
The Illinois Big Three also encountered the Cowboys' sticky defense at this time.
After receiving the ball, Luther Head faced the close defense of Joey Graham and chose to break through directly.
Joey is the 'bankrupt version of James' after all. Even in this situation, he did not lose his position too much and fought with Luther Head all the way to the penalty area.
At this time, Lin Yu had already come to assist in the defense.
not good!
When Luther Hyde saw Lin Yu, he realized that something was wrong.
He understood instantly that this was the Cowboys' tactic!
By closely defending, the Three Musketeers were not given any space to shoot.
But once anyone of the Three Musketeers breaks through, Lin Yu will directly double-team him.
When Luther Head realized that something was wrong, he was already trapped in a double-team in the paint.
His first reaction was to pass the ball, but facing the impenetrable defense of two players, he couldn't pass the ball at all.
In desperation, Luther Head chose to force a layup.
Snapped!
Lin Yu blocked Luther Head's layup with a volleyball block.
Seeing this scene, Ferguson said to Yao Ming: "Yao, your compatriot Lin is really fast in assisting defense! He reminds me of KG!"
"You're right. I heard that one of Lin Yu's templates is KG. Many scouts say that Lin Yu can be trained to be many players, not just Chamberlain, but also KG, Larry Bird and even Magic Johnson!"
As Dayao spoke, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
After all, it is very rare for a player to have so many templates, even in the NBA where there are birds and beasts everywhere.
"I am now looking forward to seeing what position Lin will be trained as in the future and what kind of player he will eventually grow into!"
At this time, Boss F also began to look forward to what would happen after Lin Yu entered the league.
Dayao didn't say anything, he was thinking about something else.
How about partnering with Lin Yu at the Olympics?
on the field.
Deron looked at the rebound in front of him and was about to grab it, but Tony was one step faster and dived to grab the rebound.
Looking at Deron, Tony spoke firmly.
"The Cowboys have never been just Lin Yu!"
Deron was stunned, knowing that this was Tony's response to his previous trash talk, but he didn't have time to think about it and had already started to retreat with his teammates.
The cardinal saw Tony fall to the ground to grab the rebound.
He nodded and said, "He's a good young man, very hardworking. It looks like Lin Yu has a group of reliable teammates around him!"
