I really play basketball

Chapter 40 From now on

Bobby Hurley sat on the floor, staring blankly, even refusing an outstretched hand from teammate Grant Hill.

He knew that Stalin, behind the button of passion, was staring at him fiercely, but he didn't dare to stare back at all.

If we talk about the opening period of the game, Bobby Hurley was only suppressed by Lin Xing and had to face the fact that "he is far behind Stalin".

Then after this horrific dunk, his mentality completely collapsed.

At this moment, in his heart, Lin Xing is a pervert, a devil, a tyrant who shouldn't appear in the NCAA competition...

After Lin Xing's violent dunk, the distraught Bobby Hurley took the ball forward.

Then, with a pass, it passed directly to the sideline.

Coach K on the sidelines frowned. Bobby Hurley was obviously not normal. Did he get duped by Lin Xing?

Shaking his head, Coach K called the team's backup point guard Chris Collins from the bench.

A mistake by Duke gave Long Beach a chance to overtake the score.

For this crucial ball, Lin Xing gave up the ball.

Lucios attacked for a round, and Duke's overall defense was still staring at Lin Xing.

And Bobby Hurley, who is facing Lucios, let alone not concentrating now, even if he is concentrating, his poor defense can't stop Lucios' singles.

Lucios scored a wave of singles and Long Beach took the lead.

Trailing Duke took a timeout, and Bobby Hurley went on like this.

In the next game, Lin Xing continued to face Grant Hill.

For several rounds in a row, Grant Hill's singles ended in failure.

Lin Xing's strategy is actually very simple, that is, to get stuck.

You can control and shoot as you like outside the three-point line. When you reach the middle distance, you will be under pressure. Don't even think about entering the restricted area.

After all, Hill's shooting is not outstanding, and he can only make mid-range shots. He occasionally makes a few three-pointers, but there is a high probability that he will not make them.

It's too easy to guard against such a player without a basket.

Seeing Lin Xing who easily locked Grant Hill, Byron Russell's eyes widened: "So defense is so simple?"

Turning around, Duke's defense is no longer only aimed at Lin Xing.

After all, the Long Beach branch has changed its main attack point. Although Lucios is not as good as Lin Xing, he is also one of the top scorers in the NCAA.

Chris Collins, who replaced Bobby Hurley, was just a substitute and couldn't withstand the impact of Lucios at all.

But switching defenses is also unlikely.

It is impossible for Grant Hill to guard Lucios. In Coach K's defensive system, Grant Hill belongs to the mobile unit.

On the other side, Thomas Hill, who claims to be the strongest defender on the outside of Duke, also has to stare at the seemingly harmless empty-handed Lin Xing.

Faced with such a dilemma, Duke can only deploy a defensive formation.

With the frontal defense, Lin Xing, who is wandering on the weak side, will have a chance?

After a wave of offense, Lucios found Byron Russell in the front, and the two cooperated.

The entire Duke defense has been pinned down by Lucios and Russell to the point that—

Lin Xing rounded the bottom corner from the weak side, threw off Thomas Hill, and when he slammed into the penalty area, there was no one around him.

Lucios made a lob and his pass wasn't great.

But Lin Xing's excellent jumping made up for this. He jumped high and grabbed the basketball, and pressed it into the basket heavily.

When the game hit this point, Coach K was already scratching his head.

This little-known opponent is much more difficult than imagined.

In the commentary seat, Tony Gay, who controls the field, also said: "Long Beach seems to have found a way to suppress the Duke Blue Devils. The possibility of an upset in this game is getting bigger and bigger."

Long Beach had already taken the lead, which made Henry Abbott very uncomfortable in front of the TV.

He didn't feel that bad, because during the period when Long Beach took the lead, Lin Xing played very little.

"Even if Long Beach beat Duke, they didn't rely on Stalin, or in other words, Stalin was just a bastard who relied on his teammates!"

Henry Abbott completely ignored the defensive end Lin Xing's restrictions on Grant Hill, and Coach K would not.

He knew very well that the reason why Duke fell behind was because of problems both offensively and defensively.

The problem on the defensive end is difficult to solve for the time being, or there is no need to solve it. Coach K directly focuses on the offensive end.

So, after another timeout, Duke began to focus on Cherokee Parkes, that is, to focus on the inside.

Tavor once again exposed that he simply can't stop Cherokee Parks, who will enter the NBA with a high pick in the future.

While blocking Grant Hill, Lin Xingtan, who occasionally scored steals, started:
"Why are they all defensive loopholes?"

Fortunately, Long Beach on the offensive end can hold on.

In this way, the game turned into an offensive battle, but the main players involved in the offense were two unexpected players, Lucios and Cherokee Parks.

On the Long Beach side, Lucios' various singles directly returned to last season.

On Duke's side, Cherokee Parks blossomed internally, and at the same time led to Thomas Hill and Chris Collins on the outside.

Lin Xing and Grant Hill, who were expected to have a big fight before the game, did have a big fight, but it was a defensive battle.

Lin Xing single-handedly locked Hill, and Hill in turn cooperated with another Hill to lock Lin Xing.

At the end of the first half, the two teams scored 40 to 37, and the Long Beach branch in the away game even led by 3 points.

In the second half, Lin Xing tried to get the ball back.

Duke University's reaction was as fast as lightning, and immediately used various defensive methods together to lock Lin Xing again.

The NCAA superstar who led the Long Beach branch to win the next wave of 7 consecutive victories and was blown up by the major American media before the game, just like this misfired.

Thomas Hill was very proud, he felt that this was his credit.

So from the first half to the second half, his bad mouth never stopped.

"Now you know why Duke is the champion? It's as easy as strangling an ant."

"I didn't say that the current NCAA is too weak, that's why you are so famous."

"See this wave of defense? This is Duke, this is the championship!"

"..."

Lin Xing ignored him the whole time, because from the beginning to the end, the score was bitten to death.

Duke?champion?Then you have sealed the victory!
You haven't won the game yet, so you're bragging all kinds of things, embarrassing you?

Lin Xing just shook his head, then continued to torment Grant Hill on the defensive end, steal chickens on the offensive end, and played the game extremely efficiently.

比赛还剩10分钟的时候，他就已经12投7中，独得16分2个篮板5个助攻了。

接着，在比赛还剩下5分钟的时候，他的数据进一步上涨到了14投8中，18分4个篮板6个助攻。

Compared with his first seven games, this number is indeed not gorgeous, but at least it has been very efficient.

It was the first time for Lin Xing to play like this. After playing most of the game, he finally understood why A-Zhan's shooting percentage was always so high.

With such an extremely reasonable style of play, even if the hit rate is not high, it will not work!

When the game entered the last 3 minutes, Lin Xing had scored 15 points on 9 of 20 shots.

In terms of score, 72 to 73, the home team Duke is in the lead and holds the ball.

However, not counting the possession of the ball, their lead is only 1 point, which is really not worth mentioning.

Lin Xing, who had been paddling for almost half the game, looked up at the score and the time——

"It's time to start working hard!"

On the field, with Duke's offense, Lin Xing continued to stare at Grant Hill.

Although he feels that Russell should be given a chance to show what he has learned in this half of the game?
But obviously, the victory of the game is more important.

As for Russell showing what he's learned?Grant Hill is a master of cross step, and so is Lin Xing.

When this game is over, there will be plenty of time for Russell to show.

Hill was marked to death, and Duke could only continue to fight in.

Although Cherokee Parks' NBA career was not successful, in the NCAA, he was a dimensionality reduction blow.

Able to play singles at the basket, shoot mid-range and long-range shots, grab rebounds, protect the frame, and ride horses to support, the all-rounder is like Embiid, the great emperor of the NCAA.

In the current offensive round, Parks took the ball from mid-range, turned around with his back leaning on Tavor, took two steps in with fancy footwork, and raised his hand for a throw.

Swish-!
The Cameron Indoor Arena was full of cheers, and Tony Gay, who was in the commentary seat and controlling the field, also announced loudly:
"Cherokee Parks still unstoppable, Duke's lead stretched to 3 points!"

Lin Xing didn't look at the beating scoreboard anymore, he directly pushed Tavor, who was scored, and urged: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Serve the baseline quickly, this is the style of play that the Long Beach campus always rehearses during training, and it is also Lin Xing's personal requirement.

The tyrant has an order, how dare Tavor not obey?

He immediately retreated beyond the bottom line, raised his hand and threw the ball to Lin Xing.

Lin Xing received the ball and turned around.

Behind him, Duke retreated slowly.

Lin Xing suddenly accelerated, and when he crossed the half court, Duke's defense hadn't fully settled down.

At this time, Thomas Hill reacted, but it was too late for Grant Hill's supplementary defense.

Lin Xing, who rushed to the frontcourt at full speed, forced Thomas Hill like this, and before Cherokee Parks rushed to the basket...

Clang!
A rebate!
The entire Cameron Indoor player let out a sigh.

Lin Xing raised his fist and slammed his chest hard.

The counterattack starts from this moment!

(Late last night, I scheduled a single chapter saying that today’s eruption of asking for votes broke out, but I didn’t expect the child to have a high fever at night. I really don’t know what to say, but today’s third-hour eruption is still the same, but the number of words will be a little less.

Finally, continue to ask for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets! )
