I didn't want to fly away

Chapter 37 Final Four (for collection, for further reading)
After Thabeet left the field, the Huskies team became empty inside. In order to limit Lu Yi and other players of the Bruins team from continuously hitting the basket, the Huskies had to shrink the inside line.

But at this time, Lu Yi suddenly made a three-pointer, and the Huskies couldn't defend it right.

The NCAA's three-point line is inherently shorter, which means that there is more space outside the three-point line.

However, the defensive habit of NCAA teams is zone defense. Whether it is a two-three zone defense or a three-two zone defense, the outside line is defended inside the three-point line, and it is impossible to defend one or two steps beyond the three-point line.

But Lu Yi has such a range.

Originally, Lu Yi had already penetrated the Huskies team's penalty area, but now he suddenly shot a three-pointer from the outside, no matter how he shot, the Huskies team really didn't know what to do.

The head coach of the Eskimo Dogs, Jim Cahon, called for a timeout to make adjustments, but the effect of restricting Lui was not good. On the contrary, the offense of the Eskimo Dogs was blocked by the Bruins again and again.

The NCAA offensive model is relatively simple. First, the point guard organizes the team to play a set of tactics. If the tactics cannot be played, then the team's scoring strength is the end of the singles. It depends on individual ability to play well.

The Bruins have two offensive tactics, one is to hand the ball directly to Lu Yi, and the other is to hand the ball to Lu Yi if other players fail to play tactics.

In this game, Lu Yi had a strong desire to attack, and he put the team on his shoulders from the beginning. Lu Yi performed so well that no one in the Bruins team would have any objections to Lu Yi.

Facts have proved that Lu Yi really won the game with his personal ability.

"You're amazing!" Holland patted Lu Yi on the shoulder.

There were still 12 minutes in the game, but Holland replaced Lu Yi in advance.

Next, the Bruins can win the game by pressing the rhythm, and there is no need to beat the Huskies.

The defense of NCAA players is not very good, mainly because they are not so aggressive.

The reason for this is that the NCAA is relatively easy to dawdle, and players are only playing with a little scholarship.

Unlike playing in the NBA, if you don't have offensive talent, you have to work hard on the defensive end to keep your job.

However, the Huskies have reached the division finals, and the next step is the Final Four.

At this point, how can we stop fighting?
For the Bruins, there is no need to fight anymore.

Even if someone was going to get hurt, it couldn't be Lu Yi.

Holland is not rare in the semi-finals. What Holland wants is the NCAA championship!

With Lu Yi in hand this year, Holland feels that in just one more week, the NCAA championship will be within his grasp.

Looking at today's game, the Bruins have already achieved a lead of nearly 30 points against the Huskies.

This is one of the favorite teams to win the championship, but the Bruins seem to be able to win without breaking a sweat.

At this point in the game, Holland, as the head coach of the Bruins, felt incredible.

"Lu Yi is too steady!" Holland sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Yi's offense and defense are very simple, but in every game, Lu Yi can always find the right way to win.

Moreover, Lu Yi can not only maintain an efficient scoring state by himself, but also motivate his teammates and lead them to win, which is even more incredible.

Obviously Lu Yi's style of play seems very unique.

Obviously Lu Yi's skin color is not the mainstream of the NCAA, but Lu Yi can convince the Bruins and shock the fans.

"Is this the mysterious power from the East?"

Holland feels that Lu Yi is a natural leader, full of vitality all the time, using personal experience to inspire his teammates all the time, leading the whole team, so that the whole team can develop in a better direction.

58 to 81, the Bruins beat the Huskies by 23 points.

Even though it was the division finals, the score did not show two teams of the same level.

Of course, watching the game directly, it can also be seen that the game is showing a one-sided situation.

Since the beginning of Lu Yi's efforts, the Huskies have no hope of a comeback.

"I have to admit, we underestimated Lu Yi."

"Boss, Lu Yi is really strong. If possible, we can try to trade up. After seeing his game with your own eyes, you will also try to get him, believe me."

"This year's rookies are not good enough, perhaps Lu Yi is the biggest gain besides Blake Griffin!"

"Blake Griffin and Lu Yi are players in two positions, and they cannot be compared together.

But I know very well that Lu Yi has led UCLA to the Final Four.

Whether Blake Griffin can help Oklahoma reach the Final Four is still unknown. "

After watching the game, many scouts immediately reported the situation to the team's scouting director and even the general manager.

Lu Yi performed so well, scoring 30+ points in less than 20 minutes is not easy at all.

As Jordan said, is it difficult to be the scoring champion?As long as you score 8 points per quarter, you're good to go!

Does Lui have what it takes to score 12 points per 8 minutes?
At least the NCAA has this ability.

Regardless of the Sweet Sixteen or the Elite Eight, Lu Yi scored 30+ efficiently in a simple and effective way.

If it wasn't for Holland's choice to protect Lu Yi, it would not be surprising that Lu Yi scored 40 points in the game.

However, the opponents of the Bruins all know that the Bruins score mainly comes from Lu Yi, but no team can effectively defend Lu Yi, and there is no way to prevent Lu Yi from scoring again and again.

Obviously Lu Yi is not an offensive kaleidoscope player, but he just can't defend it!
Unstoppable once is still an accident, a coincidence, and luck, so so many times, what about every game in the entire NCAA tournament?

That is strength!
Lu Yi dispelled the NBA scouts' prejudice against him little by little, and brought out everyone's recognition of him little by little.

Some scouts even predicted: "If Lu Yi can bring UCLA to the finals, perhaps without winning the championship, Lu Yi will also become the MOP of the Final Four this year."

Every year, the MOP of the semi-finals is announced after the finals, because it is voted, and the performance of the semi-finals must be considered.

Therefore, among the two teams in the final, find a player who played better in two games, and the award may be awarded to the player of the runner-up team.

This is the reason why the MOP of the semi-finals is not the MVP of the finals.

Lu Yi's data is too exaggerated, not only the offensive data is exaggerated, but the defensive presence is also very strong.

Lu Yi often has the performance of stealing opponents, and then makes a fast break to make his presence full.

The time soon came to March 3, which was the second day after the game between the Bruins and the Huskies, and the divisional final between North Carolina and Oklahoma began on this day.

In the game, Griffin played really fiercely. North Carolina's ace star, power forward Tyler Hansbrough, was overwhelmed by Griffin and couldn't figure out what to do.

However, this year's North Carolina is the same as four years ago, and it is also equipped with North Carolina's four young players.

On the outside, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington had two shots, raining three-pointers, occasionally hitting a few mid-range shots, and hitting the basket a few times.

Small forward Danny Green's firepower is not as good as the two guns, but he works hard on defense and can shoot three-pointers on the offensive end, which is an extremely important part of the North Carolina system.

North Carolina relies on the collective efforts of the four young men, and it is difficult for a single Griffin to support it alone.

In the end, Griffin scored 23 points and 16 rebounds, winning the statistics but losing the game. North Carolina successfully defeated Oklahoma 72 to 60 and entered the semi-finals.

On March 3, Louisville played against Michigan State. No. 30 seed Michigan State successfully counterattacked. No. 2 seed Louisville was defeated by Michigan State before advancing to the semi-finals.

In this way, the final list of the top four has been freshly released.

UCLA in the West, Michigan State in the Midwest, North Carolina in the South, and Villanova in the East.
