The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 44 Melee Combat (Please recommend, please collect)
During halftime, Lin Yue and Curry sat on the bench to watch the Duke cheerleaders dance, talking and laughing.

"Lin, look at this dance is so white!"

"Indeed." Undeniably, Lin Yue nodded.

"Whenever we also have a cheerleading team, let's not talk about March Madness, we can win the championship, alas." Curry sighed.

"Yeah, why is there such a big gap between the teams in the first-level league?"

"Lin, when we win this game, we will suggest to the coach that what the basketball team needs is a white and big cheerleading team, not a drum team."

"agree."

The two midfielders are chatting while watching the cheerleaders.

"It turns out that you are so kind. It seems that next time I see Ayesha, I have to tell her your preferences."

"Brother, there's no need, this is a foul." Curry was speechless to Lin Yue, not talking about martial arts.

"By the way, don't you also have a little girlfriend?"

Only then did Lin Yue remember what he had told Curriga to his friends.

"The horoscope has not been written yet, don't look at it, go back to the locker room and take a rest."

"..." Why wasn't this kid so cowardly when he taught me the first time, and he didn't even dare to send any news to me.

Everyone at Duke was already discussing how to defend Curry in the locker room.

Old K: "Nelson, do you have the confidence to defend Curry alone?"

In fact, it doesn’t make any sense to ask this question. Curry also has a hit rate of more than 50% against Nelson. Heavy tanks certainly have an advantage in confrontation, but this is not enough to defend Curry alone.

Nelson thought about the scene in the first half and shook his head.

"Then it can only be double-teamed."

The old K coach is the same as other school coaches, the double-team is over, and when you don't need to double-team when you are playing Curry.

4 vs 3. In the first half, Lin Yue had already proved to Old K that double-teaming Curry would not solve the problem, but Lin Yue couldn't possibly play the entire second half, not to mention how a yellow man's physical strength could compare with a black man's.

With 8 consecutive victories, the Duke Blue Devils are bound to win.

After the intermission, players from both sides returned to the court amidst the audience's expectations. There were still 20 minutes before the end of the game. Even the current audience couldn't guess who would be the winner. The strength displayed by the Davidson Wildcats in the first half should not be underestimated.

This is Duke's home court, this is the sacred Cameron Arena, Duke fans shouted "duke, duke...", the most important thing to lose at home is momentum.

Richards passed the ball to Curry, and Nelson was still clinging to Nelson in his own half to consume Curry's energy. Curry returned the ball to Richards again, signaling for him to take the half court.

At this time, Lin Yue was lying in ambush in the bottom corner, waiting for the opportunity. When Richards dribbled to the half court, Lin Yue started to speed up, pointed upwards with his hand, and Richards passed the ball into the air.

As Duke's center and guarding the penalty area, how could Singler watch his opponent wanton dunk in the penalty area again, and he also jumped, aiming at the basketball above.

This is a competition of pure bounce, Lin Yue vs Singler, a head-to-head dialogue in the air.

All the players looked at the two people colliding, Lin Yue ran up, and Singler took off on the spot. From this point of view, Lin Yue's possibility of winning was higher, but Singler was a pure inside player after all, with tall arms and long arms. Lin Yue touched the ball first, but Singler also blocked Lin Yue's dunk.

Lin Yue took the initiative, but he never succeeded in dunking opponents.

Singler sweated profusely and pushed the ball out of the bottom line. In a head-on confrontation, Lin Yue lost, and Singler successfully defended Duke's dignity.

The Duke fans at the scene became more and more excited, whistling and blatantly provocative, "A man of yellow race wants to dunk inside Duke again, he is self-righteous."

Having said that, Davidson still owns the ball. Lin Yue felt that he was a bit overbearing. He wanted to take advantage of his state to make a few more dunks, but the opponent was not a vegetarian.

Serving from the baseline, Lin Yue sent it to Curry outside the three-point line. With enough time, Davidson reorganized the offense.

Lin Yue ran to the top of the arc to pick and roll for Curry again, and it was the troublesome "Kulin pick and roll", but this time the defender's attention was all on Curry, and Nelson knocked Lin Yue down directly in order to chase and defend Curry.

"Hush~" The referee blew Nelson's defensive foul.

Lin Yue walked out of bounds to serve again, this time he directly lobbed it to Richards who ran out of the point guard. At this time, everyone's attention was attracted by Curry running back and forth.

Richards took a step forward and chose a two-point jumper, and he was still a little more sure of the two-pointer than the three-pointer.

Living up to Lin Yue's pass, Richards helped the team score the first point of the second half.

The Duke Blue Devils began to conduct again. One-on-one marking could not limit this all-around team at all. Their offense improved again in the second half.

The cheerleaders cheered hoarsely for the team on the sidelines.

Lin Yue looked jealous, and when jealousy continued to grow, he would explode with motivation.

"It was Duke who killed him."

In the next round, Lin Yue took the initiative to ask for the ball. He always likes to double-team Curry, so you can see how powerful I am.

The block shot just now gave him a wake-up call. If he can't dunk, then layup.

Lin Yue was galloping like lightning, rushing across the field, the advancing speed of a person who was two meters faster was a bit outrageous.

However, a small point guard like Paulus can still catch up. He uses his body to block Lin Yue's right side. Lin Yue likes to break through from the right side, so he can only be forced to slow down.

But Paulus is neither Paul nor Rose. His athletic talent and defensive ability are not as good as these two big men. After Lin Yue slowed down, his bad luck accelerated again. The change of rhythm made Paulus fail to keep up with him and tripped him.

"Shaking?" There are many ways to humiliate people on the basketball court, but shaking and dunking are the most embarrassing scenes.

Seeing that Paulus was knocked down, Lin Yue chose to make an emergency stop and make a mid-range shot to get two points.

It was embarrassing to shake, and it was even more embarrassing not to make a goal after shaking. Fortunately, his hands didn't shake when he shot.

Good tactics also need to be able to be completed to be effective.

Sayer failed to make a mid-range shot against Lin Yue's defense. Under Lin Yue's outstanding performance, he was completely blown up. The offense and defense failed to help the team. He still needs to gain weight. The small forward should not be too thin if he is as strong as James.

Stephen Curry hit the ground and passed to Lin Yue. Facing the defense, Lin Yue made a three-threat, and the backside that was pulled back with one step also missed.

Unknowingly, the defensive intensity of the two sides increased again, the physical contact continued, the referee did not blow, and the range of movements became larger and larger. The protracted battle turned into hand-to-hand combat.

The audience in the stands also had sweaty palms. With the college league playing like this, they wondered if they were watching the NBA.

As the intensity increases, it becomes difficult to score. After 5 minutes, everyone on the field is exhausted. Except for one or two goals, the rest are free throws.

A competition of wills, but Davidson still holds a 5-point advantage and two chances for the ball.

Old K called a timeout to give the team a breath of relief, and almost came on as a substitute to play for a while before reaching the decisive stage.

Similarly, McKillop wanted to replace Lin Yue and Curry together. Curry's consumption at this time made his shooting miss. Lin Yue looked fine, but McKillop couldn't judge whether Lin Yue was holding on.

"Lin Yue, can you still do it?"

"It's okay to play the whole game (the second half)..." Lin Yue gasped, but he knew that once he played, the game might collapse at any time.

McKillop patted Lin Yue on the shoulder. He appreciated this handsome young man who could beat him more and more. His original judgment was indeed right.
