……

On November 2005, 11, the Patriots of George Mason University played an away game against the Huskies of the University of Washington.

The Huskies of the University of Washington, which is in the Pacific Ten League with UCLA, made it to the NCAA tournament last year and the year before, and the core guard Brandon Roy is also in his fourth year of college, becoming more mature and stronger.

This is the first preseason game between the two sides.

This season, the two teams belong to one of the four major regions of the national championship, but the regional leagues will not meet again.

If they make it to the national championship, there will be a chance to meet each other.

The University of Washington, which has a more complete lineup, is the team that the media and the competition committee believe has more capital to enter the national competition.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

Zhou Lin came to the gymnasium of the University of Washington again.

Coach Lorenzo took the initiative to come over and hug Zhou Lin, and said with a smile: "Hey, Zhou, long time no see, I didn't expect to meet him in the game."

In the preseason games, there was no sense of tension.

After all, they may only play this kind of game for a whole year, and the leagues in different regions will not have that much influence on the future promotion path, so they are still very polite to each other.

"Hello, Coach Lorenzo."

"Sorry you didn't make it to the Huskies."

Zhou Lin did not choose the University of Washington because the concepts did not fully fit, and after Lorenzo got Joan Brockman, his regret was not so strong.

"But your choice is correct. The George Mason Patriots are also a good team. Coach Jim's technical and tactical level is also my learning object."

Zhou Lin smiled: "I will pass on yours to the head coach, Mr. Jim. Of course, the Huskies team is a strong team, and we also come here with a learning attitude."

And the business exchange, of course, is over.

"Starting list: Jay Lewis, Will Thomas, Zhou Lin, Lamar Butler, Tony Skin." Coach Jim announced the unsurprising starting five-man list.

Although Zhou Lin played the third position, he was the tallest in the team, and the height was obvious.

As a five-star high school student, it was only natural for Zhou Lin to appear on the starting roster, while Rich Blair was going to fight for playing time.

In fact, college freshmen who don't have much fame and general talent don't get much playing time.

"Zhou Lin, you jump the ball."

Zhou Lin is two inches taller than Jay Lewis in position [-] and Will Thomas in position [-]. It is understandable that the work of jumping the ball falls on him.

However, the starting player of the University of Washington is not tall.

Justin Dantemon in position 1.8 is a [-]-meter speed small guard.

But his back line partner, Brandon Roy, is a standard-sized shooting guard -- 1.98-foot-[-] or [-] meters tall.

After Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant changed the league structure, their height has also become the standard yardstick for shooting guards.

The other starters are three strikers, namely the six-foot-six Jamal Williams, the six-foot-seven Bobby Jones, and the six-foot-seven rookie Joan Brockman.

Zhou Lin and Joan Brockman have met three times, and it has been less than half a year since the last meeting, and Zhou Lin was slightly surprised by Joan Brockman's change.

Zhou Lin had a small amount of fat loss and weight gain in the summer, and his body shape didn't change much, but he became leaner and stronger.

Brockman, on the other hand, has gained at least 20 pounds and looks like he's at least 250 pounds.

It looked thicker.

Of course, it is estimated that this is also because Coach Lorenzo needs high-quality insiders.

Standing beside Brockman, Zhou Lin was obviously taller and thinner.

Winning the jump ball is also within Zhou Lin's expectations.

The ball was in Tony's hands, and the other four rushed to the frontcourt respectively.

Zhou Lin and Lamar Butler sank to the corners on both sides, while Jay Lewis and Will Thomas in the fourth and fifth positions quickly moved up to screen and roll.

1-2-2 bullhorn tactics.

After the pick-and-roll was formed, Tony quickly shared the ball with Will Thomas at the fourth position. Most of Will Thomas' abilities were concentrated inside.

At this moment, Zhou Lin crossed upwards from the bottom corner. With the help of Jay Lewis' solid blocker, he directly blocked Joan Brockman and Bobby Jones. Zhou Lin found an open opportunity outside the three-point line , A direct three-pointer.

3-0.

Zhou Lin's three-pointer opened the scoring.

In fact, before Zhou Lin entered the Patriots, the core of the bullhorn tactics was originally the three-point shooter Lamar Butler.

But the latter is an undersized two.

And Zhou Lin is a tall third position. When he has the same touch, Zhou Lin will be a shooter, which will be much better than Lamar Butler.

Of course, although Lamar Butler complained about the decline in his tactical status, he would never disobey the team's head coach anyway.

Unlike the NBA, which often has discord between generals and coaches, no matter how big a player is in the NCAA, they cannot threaten the position of the head coach. In the NCAA, the coach is the team's absolute voice.

After all, NCAA coaches earn one million dollars a year, and players hardly have any income except for scholarships. For NBA teams, the salary of one or two million US dollars for coaches may only be one-tenth of that of top stars.

This has also led to many NBA teams, where the star and the head coach disagree, and the head coach is the one who leaves in the end.

To be honest, looking back, Joan Brockman also showed the potential of his star player. After receiving a pass from Justin, he scored two points with a soft touch inside.

The two teams who fired first were all rookies, and they all had tactics specially arranged for them.

Although Zhou Lin and Joan Brockman didn't face each other directly, they were both first-year students, so they couldn't avoid being discussed by various media after the game.

And neither Zhou Lin nor Joan Brockman had to prove something.

After all, the two had once competed for a position.
