The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 39 University of Kansas

"boom……"

The noise suddenly sounded, and it turned out that the University of Kansas team began to play.

"Aaron..."

"Nick..."

Especially with the appearance of Hinrich, more than 1 people at the scene shouted frantically.

For a moment, Chen Mo suddenly thought, will this basketball hall collapse?
I have to say that the charm of the NCAA is too great, even if it is not yet March Madness.

After all, this game is a strong dialogue, coupled with the atmosphere created by the media before the game, this game has attracted a lot of attention.

No, on the big screen at the scene, a person will appear from time to time.

Listening to the on-site commentary, it seems that they are all celebrities from Lawrence City and even Kansas.

It has to be said that NCAA games are so exaggerated that they are not limited to basketball.

By the way, let me also say that today's commentary lineup is equally strong. It seems that ESPN attaches great importance to this game.

The host of the commentary for this game is Mike Breen, the legendary ESPN commentator who has been commentating basketball games for nearly 20 years.

The guest commentator is also not an ordinary person, but the University of Kansas star Danny Manny who just retired last year.

The 1988 NBA No. [-] pick did not achieve much in the NBA.

His best performance was only in the 93-94 season, when he averaged 23.7 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists per game.

It's a pity that in the Clippers this year, he only played 42 games due to injury, and his results were greatly reduced.

In terms of honors, Manny was only selected to the NBA All-Star twice, and became the best sixth man once.

As a power forward and center, Manny has a good coping ability, but rebounding and defense are weaknesses.

Compared with his not-so-glamorous career in the NBA, four years in college is Manny's highlight moment.

In his freshman year, as a rookie who had just entered school, Manny secured his position as the team's starter and core.

In his senior year, that is, in 1988, under the leadership of Manny, the University of Kansas was successfully crowned the NCAA champion.

That year, the University of Kansas directly called Manny and his miracle, which is not a low evaluation.

It can be said that Manny is one of the most outstanding players in the history of University of Kansas basketball.

Manny retired this year, and now is Kansas' best chance to win a championship.

Therefore, it is very suitable for ESPN to invite Manny as the guest commentator for the Kansas home game.

"Danny, I know you support the University of Kansas, but I still want to ask, what do you think of today's game?"

"Oh, you know, I'm from Kansas, so I think Kansas is going to win.

Of course, if you want to win this game, the performance of Cork and Nick is crucial.

Also, defensively, they must guard Chen and Jason, and they must not let such a pitcher go. "

……

The starting lineups of the two teams have been determined. For Kansas, point guard Aaron Mills, shooting guard Kirk Hinrich, small forward Keith Langford, power forward Wayne Siming, and center Nick Collison.

The lineup of the University of Kansas is a very typical internal and external dual-core lineup, relying on Hinrich and Collison to play.

The other three are mainly responsible for defense, moving the ball, and shooting when there is an open spot.

Especially Aaron Mills and Keith Langford, both of whom have a certain long-range shooting ability, make it easy for people not to double-team.

UCLA, on the other hand, still continues its long-standing lineup, especially the center. Hollins, who has better speed and stronger athletic ability, has been steadily starting.

The point guard is still Cedric with strong impact ability, the shooting guard is Thompson, the small forward is still Chen Mo, and the power forward is Kapono.

With a whistle, the game officially started. Hollins lived up to expectations and grabbed the first chance to attack.

For the first attack, instead of attacking Kapono as usual, he chose Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took a position in the middle distance and stunned a group of people. Is this because he wants to eat it raw?
You know, this is someone who can bully even Redick in terms of strength, and dare to play inside?

Although Langford is only 191cm, he is a bit shorter than Chen Mo, but in terms of weight, Chen Mo is 6kg lighter.

Regardless of the 6kg, the difference in strength is not small.

Chen Mo tried to push it up, well, it really didn't move, but it couldn't help him.

In the meantime, he raised the ball high, swayed it in a fake move, and then shot directly.

That's right, Chen Mo just relied on his height and didn't even need to jump up. By the time Langford jumped up to block the shot, the ball would have already been shot.

Seeing the ball hit the net, everyone was stunned. Unexpectedly, it was so simple, just like a fixed-point shot!

Of course, others thought it was very simple, but Langford's black face was so dark that it couldn't be darker.

Fortunately, he is black, and most people really can't see his face.

Especially when he looked at himself stretching out his hand, he could only touch his elbow, and when he jumped up, he had already made a move.

This is too bullying.

Does it feel familiar? This is how Yao Ming plays against most centers in the league.

There is no need for extra means, just one, that is to bully you for not being tall enough.

Moreover, when facing Yao Ming, you can press forward to press Yao Ming's shooting space. Anyway, Yao Ming is unlikely to break through.

But in the face of Chen Mo, this trick is definitely not good. Don't forget, Chen Mo's breakthrough is not bad.

This is very similar to when players in positions [-] and [-] face Durant in the future, those who are taller than him are not as fast as him, and those who are faster than him are not as tall as him.

Manny, the commentator at the scene, also said helplessly: "Longford is very good, but it's a pity that his height is a bit short.

Kansas' lineup is actually a lineup of three guards, which is very disadvantageous when facing small forwards. "

Mike Breen laughed: "More importantly, Chen has done well so far."

Manny is a pure Kansasian, so Mike Breen must stand on the side of UCLA.

Longford threw himself into the offense extremely depressed. As expected, Kansas played the inside line as soon as it came up.

As one of the most powerful insiders in the NCAA this year, there is no reason not to use Collison as a big killer.

Everyone pulled away, Aaron handed the ball to Collison, but Collison didn't attack immediately, but observed the surrounding situation.

I saw that UCLA adopted man-to-man, yes, the most classic one-defense-one, no double-teaming, no substitutions.

Collison was stunned. To be honest, he was used to being double-teamed when attacking, but he was not used to being double-teamed suddenly.

However, Collison is a senior player after all, and he adjusted his mentality very quickly. After observing Hollins' position, he immediately launched an attack.

Facing Collison, Hollins didn't have any confidence at all. Fortunately, Coach Steve only asked him to do his best.
