I really play basketball

Chapter 37 NCAA Second Point Guard
Cameron Indoor Arena, the home team Duke and visiting Long Beach players have all played.

The Long Beach branch is still a regular five-man starter, from point guard to center are Lin Xing, Lucios, Rod Hannibal, Russell and Chris Tavor.

Look at the Duke Blue Devils, point guard Bobby Hurley, shooting guard Thomas Hill, small forward Grant Hill, power forward Antonio Long, and center Cherokee Parks.

Lin Xing glanced at Bobby Hurley, whose height was standard 183, thinking about how to quickly deal with this opponent.

Bobby Hurley also kept an eye on Lin Xing, and when Parks beat Tavor to win the opening ball, he took control of the basketball and went straight to the frontcourt.

Lin Xing didn't know that Bobby Hurley was holding back his energy. He only knew that his opponent in this match was another white man who looked polite.

"It is said that the players in the 90s are all bad boys?"

Shaking his head, Lin Xing quickly withdrew to the backcourt, taking a defensive stance.

For Bobby Hurley, Lin Xing knew something before the game. This is a template Nash point guard.

The physical fitness is average, but the skills and basic skills are outstanding, and the offensive shooting can also be said to have no dead ends.

In view of this, Lin Xing posted it immediately. This is the experience he gained after defending against Nash.

He still remembers that when he defended Nash's first ball, he opened a certain distance because he was afraid of Nash's breakthrough.

As soon as Nash raised his hand, he was afraid of Nash's shooting, so he rushed up, but Nash swayed past him.

After a wave of defensive mistakes, Lin Xing understood that to defend against an opponent like Nash who is not outstanding in physical fitness, just stick to him and it's over.

Anyway, these days, the referee's penalty scale is not so strict, and the whistle will not be blown when confronting the referee.

The confrontation is given, and thin opponents like Nash and Bobby Hurley, even if they want to break through, the breakthrough movement will be severely deformed under the confrontation.

At this moment, Bobby Hurley's performance was even worse than Nash's. He tried to break through against Lin Xing's defense, but after rushing out two steps, his steps became chaotic.

Lin Xing's big hands were not very honest, he wanted to break them when he reached out.

Of course, Bobby Hurley dodged for a while. He turned sideways to avoid Lin Xing's steal.

But at the same time, his wave of breakthroughs also completely killed...

"The NCAA's second point guard fought against Stalin in the first wave. Sure enough, he was locked up."

In the commentary seat, Stephen Smith was not surprised by this ending.

In other words, after Lin Xing thoroughly proved himself, no one would think that Bobby Hurley could be compared with Lin Xing.

Faced with the current predicament, Bobby Hurley, who didn't think so, could only turn his back on Lin Xing and barely protect the basketball.

Then, waited until Grant Hill came out of the bottom line.

A pass was given to Hill.

"Bobby Hurley's offense is over, no, this whole game, his offense is over, because he's going to face Stalin's defense..."

Stephen Smith has become Lin Chui, fans and friends are not surprised.

On the field, Duke's offense continued.

Bobby Hurley just wasted 20 seconds or so of the NCAA with 45 seconds on the shot clock and they had 20 seconds left on the shot clock.

On the left side of the top of the arc, Hill faced Russell's defense and controlled the ball with his left hand.

A second ago, he still looked slow.

In the next second, he suddenly changed hands from crotch to crotch, dribbled the ball twice, dodged, and suddenly accelerated!
Russell's reaction was fast enough, but Hill's speed was even faster, and he flashed past Russell's defense like a thunder, cut to the basket, and succeeded in a light dunk.

The Cameron Indoor Arena cheered. Although Bobby Hurley is the new core of the Duke Blue Devils, the Blue Devils fans love Hill more.

On the other side, Lin Xing watched Hill easily break through Russell's defense and shook his head.

"Byron's defense is almost meaningless..."

The Duke Blue Devils at home scored 2 points and started the game 2-0.

Long Beach kicked off in the backcourt, Lin Xing received the ball and pushed it across the half.

Unlike Greenberg, Coach K adjusted his defense. It was not the thin Bobby Hurley who faced Lin Xing on the defensive end, but Thomas Hill.

Thomas Hill, a senior shooting guard, is 1 meters tall. He is the most typical role player under Coach K's command. He is hard-working and hard-working.

No one thinks that Thomas Hill can defend Lin Xing, including Coach K.

Therefore, behind Thomas Hill, there must be another defender waiting for Lin Xing.

Lin Xing also knew this, so he passed Thomas Hill and set his sights further afield.

"Hey, Stalin..."

"Your opponent is here, looking at me with your damn eyes!"

Lin Xing didn't expect that Thomas Hill in front of him would talk trash, which surprised him.

At the same time as he was surprised, he replied very bluntly: "You, opponent? Tsk..."

With a sneer, Lin Xing, who probably already understood what kind of formation Duke is, suddenly started.

It's a bit like a replica of Hill in the previous round. With two dribbles and a dodge, Lin Xing passed Thomas Hill.

opponent?As Lin Xing sneered, Thomas Hill was not worthy of being his opponent.

Immediately after the defense came over, there was another Hill not far away, Grant Hill.

Grant Hill patched up quickly and stuck tight.

In addition, Thomas Hill behind him turned around to keep up. The two Hills flanked back and forth, and Lin Xing was locked near the free throw line.

Seeing this posture, Lin Xing immediately understood: Coach K has conducted targeted research!
As far as the current Lin Xing is concerned, his style of play is a bit like Xiao Zhan who doesn't shoot, or Brother Antetokounmpo who can't hold back when he rushes up.

The impact of this style of play is very strong, and the damage to the formation is also huge.

But there is a problem. If the opponent compresses the space in a targeted manner, Lin Xing will not be able to rush.

If you can't rush, there will be no follow-up.

At this time, he will be forced to become a passer.

Moreover, the pass at this time must not be threatening.

A sudden attack does not mean that you rush in, attract double-teams, and then distribute the ball to achieve the tactical purpose.

In fact, the purpose of the breakthrough is not just to attract double teams, but more to disrupt the opponent's defensive formation.

The opponent's defensive formation is chaotic, and it is easier to find open teammates after breaking through.

But now, the Duke Blue Devils have planned to surround Lin Xing near the free throw line, with someone on the strong side defending, and only the weak side missed Russell.

If Lin Xing has 99 passes, he may be able to jump up and pass the ball to find Russell accurately.

But the problem is that his 72 passing points are barely enough at best.

It is too difficult for the strong side to find the weak side in the situation of double attack.

A pass goes out, and there is a 95.27% probability that a turnover will be recorded.

Faced with the attack, Lin Xing passed a safety ball when he saw Lucios who came out to meet him.

Such a scene made Bobby Hurley, who was facing Lucios on the defensive end, feel:
Isn't it like him?The offense can only pass a safety ball if it is killed.

Although one is single defense and the other is double-teamed...

Henry Abbott, watching the game in front of the TV, shouted:

"Look, look, I'm right, he can only abuse food, and when he meets a really strong opponent, he can't even enter the restricted area!"

On the field, Long Beach is already reorganizing the offense.

Lucios didn't stick the ball in his hands. He knew very well that the Tyrant was just using him to break free from the double-team blockade. The ball belonged to the Tyrant from beginning to end.

Lin Xing, who withdrew to the top of the arc, received the ball again, and Duke University also reorganized its defense.

What Lin Xing had to face was still Thomas Hill.

A wave of successful defense made Thomas Hill confident:

"Don't underestimate me, Stalin, you have to understand that what you are facing is the defending NCAA champion, and I am the team's best perimeter defender..."

Another trash talk, Lin Xingli ignored him, but slowly controlled the ball and pressed it in.

Thomas Hill frowned, he didn't want Lin Xing to get too close to the basket.

But helpless, there was a gap in physical confrontation, he could only retreat passively, and was pushed near the free throw line by Lin Xing.

Lin Xing raised his head and glanced at the basket. This position should be almost the same...

In the next second, there was an extremely fast cross step, one step passed Thomas Hill, another step accelerated, and he was close to the frame area.

Grant Hill made up again at this time, and Lin Xing had already jumped up.

He didn't dunk, just passed Hill's interference, lifted the basketball, and sent it to the basket.

With a swish, Lin Xing clenched his fist and swung it after scoring the goal.

Then, facing Thomas Hill, he sneered again.

To be honest, Lin Xing really didn't want to pay attention to this Thomas Hill.

He didn't even need an elbow to pass this so-called Duke's best defender on the outside. Is Duke so weak?How did they win the championship in the past two seasons?
Shaking his head, Lin Xing retreated.

In front of the TV, Henry Abbott involuntarily touched his face:

Damn, why didn't Grant Hill make up the defense sooner?

Grant Hill has no choice but to make up the defense earlier?Wouldn't the strong side just miss it?
In the end, why wait for Lin Xing to start charging before making up?
The defensive rotation of the strong and weak sides also takes time to organize!

But this ball made Grant Hill draw his attention to Lin Xing.

A wave of offense and two breakthroughs made Hill feel:
This is an opponent whose characteristics are very similar to his. Both of them have extremely fast cross steps.

And no matter what Hill thinks, turn Duke's offense, or Bobby Hurley.

He challenged Lin Xing's defense again, and returned without success again. He could only pass the ball and leave it to his teammates to deal with.

Off the court, Coach K frowned.

For two consecutive offensive rounds, the frontal Bobby Hurley had no chance at all.

This means that the core he set up was directly misfired.

"Grant should be the main attacker..."

In the commentary seat, Stephen Smith smiled happily. For the first time, he tasted the taste of talking big without being slapped in the face. It's so sweet!

On the court, there was no need for coach K to direct, the basketball was automatically given to Grant Hill.

It was still a cross step, but this time, Russell stood still.

Hill, who only rushed out two steps, could only stop at a high position and made a long two-pointer.

Bang!

Unsurprisingly, there was an iron strike, but at the basket, Cherokee Parks overwhelmed Tavor, raised his hand and made a tip-up.

4 to 2, Duke University continued to maintain the lead.

Lin Xing really wants to spread his hands. He is also a white center with average confrontation ability. Why is the gap so big?

The outside line is defended, but the inside line is missed. This may be the saddest thing on the basketball court.

"It's okay, come back on the offensive end!"

As a leader, you have to encourage your teammates. Lin Xing clapped his hands and caught the ball in the backcourt.

After halftime, he followed suit and continued to press in slowly.

Then suddenly a cross step started, and this time, Grant Hill, who was fully focused, made up for it at the first time.

However, Lin Xing made an unexpected ground pass, directly passed Hill, and passed to Russell who was penetrating the bottom line.

With a bang, Byron Russell received a pass from Lin Xing and made a heavy dunk.

The score became a 4-4 tie!
On the sidelines, Coach K shook his head.

He knew that Lin Xing had solved Duke's double-team defense, and the solution was very simple——

Lin Xing shortened his sprint distance to the middle distance.

In this way, he only uses a sprint from the middle distance to the close frame to reach his offensive hot zone.

At this time, even in the face of Grant Hill's double-team, he has the ability to crush his opponent with his body.

Of course, most of the time, even Grant Hill didn't have time to react.

Because Lin Xing's first step was also surprisingly fast.

Turn around, Duke University's offense, Coach K did not adjust, so Bobby Hurley is still the main attack.

Bobby Hurley was still not convinced, facing Lin Xing's closeness, he posed a three-threat.

Holding the ball in both hands, when I wanted to repeat a cross step, suddenly...

Lin Xing stretched out his hand suddenly, first he cut the ball, and then followed up with the other hand, just like that, abruptly snatched the basketball from Bobby Hurley's hand.

The moment the steal was completed, there was a bang, and the Cameron Indoor Arena exclaimed.

Stephen Smith was also very excited: "Oh God, this is a clear steal, no foul!"

"Stalin completed the steal just like that. It's too strong. You know, the one who was intercepted by him was the second NCAA point guard, Bobby Hurley!"

Lin Xing, who completed the steal, led a wave of counterattacks. Byron Russell rushed faster, and he did not hesitate to pass the ball, directly assisting Russell to break into the frontcourt and succeed in the dunk.

6 to 4, Long Beach overtook the score.

Lin Xing raised his right hand in the frontcourt and slapped Byron Russell who scored the goal.

Turning his head, he glanced at Bobby Hurley.

This opponent, who had been competing with him from the beginning, now had a face full of discomfort and despair.

Obviously, his mentality has been blown away by Lin Xing.

Two rounds of misfiring, one round of failure, this mentality, can it not explode?
Lin Xing knew that this guy was considered the second point guard in the NCAA at the beginning of the season, and he was pulled out by Penny fans to overwhelm Lin Xing several times.

Now, Lin Xing just wants to say: You can still be the second point guard in the NCAA, as long as you can beat Penny, Kidd and Nash...
