Chapter 28 The Last Straw That Crushes the Wildcat

The locker room of the Arizona Wildcats has never been so silent as it is today. Apart from the heavy breathing of the players on the field, there are almost no other sounds. out of place.

With their heads down, Budinger and Jordan Hill, the absolute core of Arizona, were once the two most talked-about people in the locker room.But now that the two of them have been silent, the people around them feel a little suffocated, and even Wilson can feel a sense of depression permeating the air.

"What's the matter? Are you scared of being beaten by others? Or are you frightened by those howling guys outside and dare not play anymore!" Wilson was trying to find a way to cheer up these darlings.

"Hill, answer me! Have you been frightened by that oriental boy!" Wilson slapped the tactical board hanging on the wall vigorously.

"No! But I need to play, as long as I play, I will blow him up!" Hill yelled at Wilson. He had had enough of letting him sit on the bench at the end of the first half. Now I can't wait to go back to the basketball court and compete with Lin Yi one by one.

"I'll let you play in the second half, but you have to control your damn temper!" Wilson said, pointing to Jordan Hill's nose.

"Budinger, your answer!" After solving Hill's question, Wilson turned to Budinger who hadn't spoken yet.

"Boss, as long as the time is not up to the last second, I will not say give up, but it is really difficult to play without inside support in the first half." Budinger expressed his inner thoughts. The feeling of Hall being around, with a strong big man pulling the inside defense for himself, he will be much more relaxed.

"In the second half, resume our most common style of play. Hill, I hope you can use your performance to prove that you are better than that Eastern boy!" Wilson said earnestly, staring into Hill's eyes.

"I'll let you see." After Hill said this, he turned and walked out of the locker room.

The locker room at the University of Oregon did not have the warm atmosphere as imagined, and everything seemed relatively peaceful, although everyone looked very excited.Lewis is adjusting the emotions of the players. He knows that the game still has 10 minutes to play, and if he wants to win the game, he must hold on to his spirit.

"Lin Yi, continue to beat their inside line in the second half. It is estimated that Hill guy will play again. If you can get him out of the field, I will give you a reward." Lewis will never be soft-hearted when he can take advantage, especially It's such a pivotal game.

"Uh, I'll try my best, but I prefer to beat him at the basket. In fact, he doesn't pose much of a threat to me now. Even if I don't let him go off the court, I can still deal with him." Lin Yi found out that this Lewis is really the same as Lao Zha. Ke is a person all the way, as long as you can win, it doesn't matter what method you use.Alas, I can't learn at all this time, although he doesn't mind continuing to tease others to lose their minds on the court.

The coaches of both sides are making their own adjustments during the short rest period in anticipation of the fight in the second half. As for who will have the last laugh, that will only be known on the court.

Time passed quickly, and Lin Yi, who returned to the court, found that Hill, who had reappeared, began to press and mark him. Whether it was on his own side or in the penalty area on the Wildcats' side, the matchup between the two was better than that of the first half. Even more intense.

From the moment Hill set foot on the court floor again, he decided to vent all his anger on the offense. From hitting the basket in the first half, he turned to a combination of mid-range jumpers and breakthroughs. A standard power forward hits the ball. Law.

Lin Yi also put away the idea of ​​angering the opponent again, and began to seriously defend the opponent. On the offensive side, he used his soft touch and flexible footsteps to frequently attack the opponent's center forward.

Although the Wildcats and Hill have two inside players who are over [-] meters tall, they still seem so weak in the face of Lin Yi's impact.Lin Yi's footsteps are far superior to the opponent's center forward, not to mention that he has an absolute advantage in starting and jumping. He often chooses to rely on Ai Wei's card position to throw off the chasing Hill and directly face the relatively weak The Wildcats center singles.Soon the center of the Wildcats suffered two consecutive defensive fouls, one of which was a successful three-pointer by Lin Yi.

Lewis is happy to see this kind of scene now, the scores of the two sides change alternately, but in fact the psychological pressure has been completely handed over to Arizona.

This team, which is used to being invincible in the state, is helpless in the face of defeat. It cannot be recovered with one or two goals, not to mention that Lin Yi's advantage in the interior has gradually increased.

Faced with Lin Yi's increasingly determined inside attack, Hill began to feel that he was struggling to match up.His aggressive inside attack in the first half continued to lose its proper rhythm from the beginning of the matchup with Lin in the second half.In terms of strength, he is evenly divided, and he does not have any advantages in terms of footwork. Now the only thing he can rely on is his fairly stable mid-range shot.

As for Budinger's situation, it is not much better than Hill.Lin Yi's control over the rebounds made the pitchers other than him hesitate, and he began to fall into the double-team situation of the opponent, and this nerve knife had no chance to get out of its sheath.

Wilson watched his most proud dual-core struggle on the field, he really didn't expect it.

Hill was not at a disadvantage in the matchup with Lin Yi in the first half, and only the technical foul caused him to be forced to calm down by himself on the bench.

But after the start of the second half, Hill's interior offense was basically suppressed by the Eastern kid, whether it was a good mid-range shot or an attack by relying on strength to dominate the basket.On the other hand, the opponent's attack became more and more sharp. Every attack stabbed at the weakest point of the Wildcats' defense. Whether it was an attack at the basket or a mid-range shot, it seemed extremely smooth.

"Why did this happen? Didn't that guy try his best in the first half!?" Wilson was shocked by his answer and broke out in a cold sweat.Looking at Lewis, who was sitting leisurely on the coaching bench of the Oregon team, he began to feel chills.

Only Lin Yi knew why. He had already studied Hill's game video before the start of the game. From his playing habits, Lin Yi had already discovered a fatal injury of Hill.

All of Hill's offenses rely on his right hand, even if he uses his right shoulder to push away the opponent's attack, he will habitually hand it over to his right hand.His left hand is unstable, directly causing him to have a permanent weak side, and the offensive line is too one-sided.In the face of players whose height, strength and jumping are not as good as his own, this shortcoming is well covered up.Once he is taller than himself, moves faster, and bounces well inside, all his problems are exposed.

In the first half, Lin Yi didn't deliberately take advantage of his opponent's mistake. He wanted to use this sharpening stone to hone his offensive and defensive skills.It can be said that the big players in the league are already so scarce that it is chilling. Lin Yi does not want to let go of every opportunity to match up.

From the second half, in order to prevent the opponent's crazy counterattack, Lin Yi began to deliberately restrict Hill's right hand to hold the ball. Even if the opponent uses the movement of his feet to get the basketball smoothly, he will try his best to force the opponent to turn to his weak side.In this way, Hill's entire offensive rhythm completely fell into the framework designed by Lin Yi.

Forced to make a forcible shot, exposing his right hand to Lin Yi's blocking range, everything was out of Hill's control.One side played more and more smoothly and frequently attacked the low position successfully, but the other side began to frequently fall into the traps designed by the opponent without knowing it. The ending can be imagined.

Hill's fatal flaw was the final straw for the Arizona Wildcats.

However, Hill's attacking style still made Lin Yi very embarrassed.

"This guy is really stubborn. No wonder Lewis's evaluation of him is so speechless. Now it seems that it is really not Lewis's poisonous mouth. This guy's single-cell thinking ability is really unprecedented, and there will be no one in the future. After Lin Yi interfered with Hill's three shots in the same offensive style, he was a little stunned thinking about Lewis' comments on Hill.

"That guy really has the same basketball IQ as a paramecium." That's what Lewis said when looking at Hill's game profile.

After Wilson played all the hole cards in his hand, the progress of the game remained unchanged. After 15 minutes of desperate counterattack, Wilson had no choice but to replace all the main players.The Arizona Wildcats also lowered their high heads at this moment. No matter how much unwillingness was revealed in Hill's eyes, they had already lost the game.

2 minutes before the final whistle, the atmosphere in the entire stadium has been rising, all the people stood up and applauded every attack of Oregon.

When Lin Yi was replaced by Lewis 1 minute before the end of the game, there was thunderous applause from the audience, and everyone was cheering for the teenager.

This young man from the East just scratched his head in embarrassment in front of such enthusiastic cheers, and he was not as tough as he was on the court.

Who would care about this boy's shy expression, today you are the winner on the court, that's why you cheer.
