This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 117 NCAA, the purest basketball

After Zhou Lin made a shot, Al Horford was temporarily replaced by Nojokin Ah, and Noah only rested for more than three minutes.

Noah immediately contributed his role as soon as he came on the court. After receiving the ball, he slid down and assisted Taolin Green to hit a long-range two-pointer.

And on the defensive end, he gave Jay Lewis a big hot pot. In the next round, he used his own wonderful shot and hit a long two-pointer.

The score was once again stretched to 9 points, the Alligators 16-25 the Patriots.

Although historically, Al Horford became the third pick on the NBA draft day, the fact that the Florida Five collectively announced that they would fight for another year was actually criticized. Of course, he was able to defend the NCAA championship later, but for Joakim North Ah, it's not a good thing. He could have entered the 3 class with the mop aura, but after playing for a year, his pick fell, and he was not selected by the Bulls until the 2006th pick.

And in terms of the money earned in his career and the staying power of his career, Al Horford far surpasses your Noah.

But the real offensive and defensive core of this team is Noah.

Granted, Al Horford is a better mid-range shooter than Joakim Noah.

But in this team, there is no shortage of scorers.

The combination of him and Chris Richard will make the interior a lot bloated.

And Joakim Noah's support and defensive ability, especially the assist defense, are unmatched by Al Horford.

The Patriots are still advancing very fast, and even put Tony Skin and Lamar Butler in the double short guard lineup at the end of the first half.

However, the University of Florida's defense was not broken by George Mason University's fast break, and it was still able to maintain its defensive strength.

This also made it a lot more difficult for the Patriots to score.

Although Zhou Lin had several scoring performances during the period, he once showed off a dribble in front of Corey Brewer, made consecutive difficult shots in front of him, and also made his personal score in the first half It has been raised to 14 points, which is also the highest score in the game.

But the crocodile team on the opposite side showed an unprecedented groupness.

乔金.诺阿得到了8分3助攻3篮板，艾尔.霍福德7分3篮板，李.汉弗莱12分2助攻，科里.布鲁尔9分1抢断，陶林.格林6分2助攻，克里斯.理查德4分2篮板。

At halftime, the University of Florida Gators led the George Mason University Patriots 46-35.

The difference of 11 points is not too big.

If the second half continues according to this process, then Zhou Lin may be able to stage another scoring night in the semi-finals, but the game will be like Van Gundy's prediction. Zhou Lin may win the data, but the Patriots There is no doubt that you will lose.

"The commentator in the United States is not particularly optimistic about the Patriots. Domestic fans may not know the rules of the NCAA league in the United States. The college basketball game in the United States is divided into two stages: the regional competition and the national competition. There are about 300 players. Many teams competed for 64 spots in the national competition, so not every NCAA team can enter the national competition in March. I checked the information and found that Zhou Lin's Patriots entered the NCAA semifinals for the first time , It is also the fourth time to enter the national competition. After entering the national competition, it is the same. One game determines the outcome, and the winner continues the game. I have never won a game. If I remember correctly, George Mason University has not even produced a single NBA player in the history. The appeal of this type of school itself is limited. Those famous talents in high school basically will not Choose an NCAA underdog like George Mason University, so, the Patriots can go to today, it is considered a counterattack, even if they lose the game today, it is also making history."

Taking advantage of the half-time break, Ma Jian popularized the NCAA rules, and when the broadcast camera switched to the players from the University of Florida, Su Qun said with emotion: "Look at these players, they are sweating. We may think it's okay to watch it in front of the TV, but the physical confrontation is the kind of muscle against muscle, and there is a fast offensive and defensive rhythm, which consumes a lot of energy."

Ma Jian continued: "The players at the University of Florida obviously consume more energy than those at George Mason University. They also run, especially Joakim Noah and Al Horford, the two big centers. Running back and forth is enough, I think the physical fitness in the second half is also a problem, and once the two big men are not on the court at the same time, George Mason University will start chasing points. I guess the University of Florida will be annoying, and this George Mason University is not. The kind of team that can be killed with a stick."

Joakim Noah and Al Horford are naturally tired, and Patriots captain Jay Lewis is also tired. He is more than ten kilograms heavier than those two standard-sized centers.

In the first half, Joakim Noah and Al Horford had at least three or four minutes of rest each, but Jay Lewis played the full 4 minutes.

During the intermission, the substitute players kept massaging Jay Lewis' muscles, hoping to relieve his fatigue.

Even Coach Jim was a little worried about Jay Lewis' physical problems and asked him if he needed a proper rest period.

But Jay Lewis refused verbally.

"As long as I can win, even if I play the whole game, I will stick to it. As long as I don't get down, Coach Jim, this may be my last NCAA game, and it may also be my last official basketball game. It's game!"

Jay Lewis shook his head and said.

The pure love for basketball made him unable to bear to leave his beloved basketball like this.

As for entering the NBA, he is the least likely senior player on the team to enter the NBA.

At least Tony Skinner and Lamar Butler are still in the NBA, and their features may have NBA teams scratching the lottery on them.

But Jay Lewis, in the NCAA, he does have his own characteristics.

Because of the rules, because of the smaller three-point circle and slower offensive rhythm, it is possible to cover Jay Lewis' weaknesses from being exposed.

And his weight has become a sharp weapon for inside defense and offense.

The NBA represents a stronger and faster offensive rhythm.

When his strength is no longer an advantage, there is no stable shooting, a height of about 2 meters, and a slow moving speed.

No team is willing to bet on him with valuable draft spots.

He will also choose other employment directions.

This NCAA semifinal may be the most glorious page in the basketball chapter of his life!

In the NCAA, there are no complicated interests between players, which also makes this event more pure.

Pure love for basketball!
