The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 43 Kurin's pick and roll (for collection, for recommendation)

Two minutes later, it was Lin Yue's rest time, and Will came on to replace Lin Yue.

After the last heads-up incident, Will became much more honest. During this period of time, the atmosphere of the team also has his reasons. Even the team's thorns have been integrated smoothly. This is the benefit of winning.

The joy of victory can always talk about the contradictions of the team, as long as they can win, everything is easy to talk about.

Will up means the Davidson Wildcats will focus on defense.

The Duke Blue Devils are also in the rotation at this time, and Nelson, who has been fighting with Curry for a long time, is also replaced by the old K coach.

Lin Yue's team's formation changed, and Curry temporarily served as the team's master.

And the task of the other four people is very clear, defense and pick-and-roll, as long as Curry is given enough space, scoring is not difficult.

But the Duke Blue Devils are not in the pool, and it is difficult for any team to break the deadlock under their inherent system.

Under the cover of many people, Curry ran out of the open space. Unfortunately, the shot time was very short. In a hurry, he stepped on the three-point line to throw the ball.

Although the ball was hit, it was only a two-pointer.

Facing Curry, who is fully open, the Duke Blue Devils can only look at the ball and sigh.

After that, the two teams failed to score several consecutive goals and fell into a short scoring drought.

In addition to the 35-second attack time, the low score in the NCAA game is that the talent of the players has not been fully developed, and the technical level is not stable enough.

Will steals the pass on defense and hands the ball to Curry.

Curry's advancing speed is very fast, throwing off the defender behind him, making a sudden stop, scoring the ball, and taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes to form a fast break.

Curry broke the scoring drought and felt hot. McKillop called a timeout again. Curry had played for 10 minutes in a row, and it was almost time to take a break.

Old K only regrets Curry's personal performance. From the current point of view, Curry's scoring ability is better than Redick's. He has both mid-range shots and layups. He has always been confident in his own vision.

But then it's the turn of the substitute lineup. Old K is still more confident about the substitute, and his overall strength is much stronger than that of Davidson.

At the end of the timeout, Lin Yue came on with Davidson's substitute, and Duke was brought on by Nelson.

This lineup is clearly a competition between Nelson and Lin Yue. Nelson is the top scorer for the Duke Blue Devils. Lin Yue has 13.5 points, 7.5 assists and 6 rebounds so far this season.

The statistics look good, but after all, Lin Yue has played too few games, and his experience is naturally not as good as Nelson, who has been playing for two years.

On the offensive end, Nelson scored 4 points in a row with sudden shots. Davidson's substitute really couldn't guard against this heavy tank.

Lin Yue also responded, breaking through with the ball from outside the three-point line, riding a horse and archery, grabbing the substitute is a one-stop operation, and scoring two more points for personal offense.

And this was just the beginning, Lin Yue scored the first point of personal offense.

The next round, the Davidson Wildcats successfully defended a goal.

"Defence, Defense,..." The audience began to cheer for the home team. Duke, who was 7 points behind, really needed encouragement.

This is not the first time Duke has played against the wind, but they can always rely on the team's resilience to overtake the score.

The sound of cheering seemed to inject magic power into the five players on Duke's field. The defensive state of the team improved. Lin Yue's usual pass was cut off by the opponent.

The Duke Blue Devils are in better shape, and Davidson's offense is intermittent.

Lin Yue received a pass from his teammate, forced to kill the basket and failed to score. He jumped hard and grabbed an offensive rebound to make up the ball.

Lin Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead, this battle of attrition was much more difficult than expected.

Davidson's tactics are not as mature as Duke's, and the execution ability of the players is also much inferior.

Soon, with Davidson's defensive focus declining, everyone at Duke recovered the score in one fell swoop.

Accompanied by the sound of cheering like a tsunami, McKillop replaced Curry. There are still 2 minutes before the end of the first half. What they have to do now is to enter the second half with a few points advantage.

Curry was not idle when he came up. Lin Yue alone was not enough to penetrate Duke's defense, but the two offensive strengths were not afraid of the opponent's defense, not to mention the effect of Lin Yue and Curry being 1+1>2.

The "Kulin pick and roll" reappeared. Lin Yue controlled the ball at the top of the arc. Curry ran over to pick and roll for Lin Yue. Lin Yue opened up space to divert the defender's attention and gave the ball to Curry.

At this time, Curry will face much less defensive pressure. Before the opponent makes up the defense, he can choose a three-pointer or a direct layup.

Of course, a three-pointer is one point more than two points. Curry has a good touch and is confident in his three-pointer, so he made another three-pointer.

The Cameron Arena, which was still boiling in front, cooled down instantly.

Unable to defend, he could only attack. Paulos, who was replaced on the field, once again asked his upper body to become a master of pass control. Little fat Richards failed to stop the opponent's passing line.

Paulus once again made a lob, and the Duke center ate another piece of cake. The Duke Blue Devils became "the city of lobs" tonight, and the talent gap appeared again.

However, the violence on the offensive end did not improve the deficiencies on the defensive end. The "Kulin pick-and-roll" has been tried and tested. This time it was Lin Yue's turn to pick and roll for Curry, and Curry passed the ball to Lin Yue who made an air cut.

Curry threw it above the basket, and Lin Yuekong wanted to catch the ball.

Lin Yue understood, leaped forward, caught the ball with both hands in the air, and slammed it hard into the basket. Although Lin Yue's take-off height was not high, Duke University's insiders did not dare to step forward to fight with the run-up, otherwise Lin Yue was likely to be injured.

Lin Yue hung the frame with both arms, tearing and roaring in the air. The ball was passed just right, neither high nor low, and he could catch the ball just after taking off.

This ball shocked the fans at home. They never imagined that there would be a person of yellow race flying and dunking in this arena one day. Such a rare behavior aroused the enthusiasm of the fans. Such a wonderful aerial duel is rarely seen in Duke.

There were screams one after another, Lin Yue ran towards Curry excitedly after dunking, both of them were very excited, obviously Curry was also very satisfied with Lin Yue's dunk.

Everyone in Duke was a little annoyed. The fans at home turned their backs and screamed at the opposite side. The Duke Blue Devils, who have always been proud, still have today?

Now scouts have to re-examine the player Lin Yue. The Chinese who has only played 4 games is a fish in water in the NCAA arena, with various scoring methods.

"Lin, I feel like you just jumped higher than usual." Curry said to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue recalled the ball just now, and it seemed that his jumping force was smooth, and his jumping was much higher than in normal training. It seemed that under the spotlight, his condition was better than usual, and his body exploded with potential in an excited state.

At the last moment of the first half, Curry and Lin Yue fired successively, giving Davidson a 4-point lead at halftime.

At the end of the half, Davidson led Duke by 48 points 44 to 4. Curry scored 18 points alone, and Lin Yue contributed 6 points and 6 assists. Together, the two scored half of the team's points.

The current Davidson Wildcats can compete even with a top team like Duke.
