The Legend of Small Steel Cannons in the NBA

Chapter 90 The Taste of Failure

The players are rushing, the audience is cheering and cheering, accompanied by dynamic music, DJ's wolves howling, and the sound of shouting to the sky, creating a wonderful basketball game scene.For the first time, Kyle sat quietly on the bench and listened, fascinated!Sitting here before, if it wasn't for the garbage time, there would be no atmosphere at all at that time, so he naturally couldn't have any special feelings.If it wasn't for the timeout, he would have been out of breath at that stall, his brain was severely hypoxic, and he was completely integrated into the game and couldn't extricate himself, and he was so immersed in it that he was a real audience.

But as soon as this peaceful and delicate state of mind rose, it was interrupted by Mattelly, it was time to play!The game has reached the stage where the bayonet is red, it's time for the final battle!
Mattelly once again replaced the five small lineup, and Jim also played his strongest card.The score at this time was 51:54, with Connecticut leading by 3 points.

Kyle took possession of the ball across the half court, lowered his body and shoulders, and strode to the right. Chelsea's speed is fast, but his strength is at a disadvantage.Kyle took two steps against him, and he completely became a rear-end sports car, and could only eat dust behind Kyle.The big man from Connecticut reacted quickly and immediately started to help defend. Of course, Kyle would not be so stupid and plunged into the cracks of these overwhelming people.When the opponent started to act, he used his right foot as the axis on the spot, turned around and stepped back to widen the distance of Chelsea, and shot from a medium to long distance.

middle!This is a good beginning.Kyle slid his clenched hands, pursed his mouth and stepped back to defend.

Not to be outdone, Villanueva made a breakthrough and took a step back to retaliate with two points. Kelly was beaten all over his face again, and he was not in the mood to spout those trash words. He was hallucinated by the beating!What else is there to say?

When Kyle came back, he chose to run. Martin and Lesowell passed back and forth to cut and run. Finally, Martin jumped and threw a shot. The action was very powerful, but the ball missed.Rebounds have nothing to do with Kelly, nor does anyone else in St. Joseph. The basket is full of giants over 6.7 feet tall, and there are three 2.08 meters tall. Unfortunately, they are all Connecticut players.

With the help of Villanueva's pick-and-roll, Rudy broke through straight in. Larry and Exorwell couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and watched Rudy shake past Kelly and dunk.

Kyle watched them perform from the three-point line, feeling in his heart that Rudy has made great progress, and the breakthrough has already taken shape!And the proud sons of Connecticut feel that Kyle has changed a lot.

Then Larry's forced shot didn't work either!Boone directly crushes Martin, puts the basket and hits again!

This situation looked like it was going to happen, and the feeling of his teammates dropped, and the disaster was coming, Kyle's heart became active.

It turned out that the first half was not evenly matched, but someone was sleepwalking!Now that Connecticut is concentrating and is familiar with the rhythm of the five small lineups, he quickly pinches St. Joseph's life gate and beats him desperately!Once the singles are played, the defense of the five small lineups is useless. Villanueva, Rudy, and Chelsea all have three-point baskets, and Boone also has mid-range skills.When they pull out, they must follow up, and pull away to the distance that the Yale team cannot harass. Singles are more accurate than one.Completely minimize the advantage of St. Joseph's flexible speed.

If you can't defend, you can't attack now, and if you can't cause opponents to make mistakes, then this lineup will be useless.

Kyle decisively signaled for a timeout!Mattelly was expressionless!He also knew that this was a problem, and he couldn't do it under the current situation. The gap in strength was obvious, and he couldn't think of any good countermeasures.

"Adams, Maureen comes on, replacing Blackwell and Martin." Mattelly pondered for a moment before making a decision.Since the fight is about to die, we can only fight big and fight steadily. "Pull away and let Morin play singles. I think it's time for you to perform! Kyle, make more breakthroughs and give me a firm shot when you have a chance."

The previous instruction to Mo Lin may be just an experiment, and the second half of the sentence is the actual arrangement of Mattelly. The meaning is obvious, Kyle!It's your turn to stand up!

This lineup lasted less than 3 minutes before being stopped by Connecticut.Maureen couldn't win against any of the defensive masters Boone and Armstrong. Adams is a soy saucer, and the Connecticut Jagged Twin Towers directly abused Adams out of the shadows.If you can't attack and you can't defend, you are talking about St. Joseph's double height.The talent gap is that big.

Mattelly then tried swapping Martin in for Adams, with no difference.Tried to take down the offensive burden Kelly and put on Blackmail, still the same.And after such a toss, the point difference has reached 18 points.

In the end, Mattelly dispatched five small lineups, which is the most reliable.But this is only to stop the bleeding, there is no momentum to chase points at all.

5 minutes before the end, Kyle turned on the ball dominance mode, broke through for layups, mid-range turnaround jumpers, weak-side step-back jumpers, and three-pointers. The team recovered from the decline.

The score was fixed at 81:95, St. Joseph missed the championship of the Big East, and Kyle's undefeated golden body was also declared broken.The defense can't defend, the offense can't move, that's the thing.Kyle was full of helplessness, even more sad than the time he played in South Florida. At least he saved the team that time, but now he can't do it!He finally tasted the taste of failure, bitter and depressed.

Connecticut is definitely a rival of rivals!This is the conclusion Kyle came to.Kyle's mid-range and long-range shots are unstable, and breakthroughs are his means of survival, but tonight he has nothing to do, he has met his nemesis!Connecticut's twin towers should be their real strongest lineup when the three towers are on the same field.Kyle broke through, facing three big guys who were nearly seven feet tall, he didn't find a single gap for his hands.These guys are tall, strong, have defensive skills, and most importantly, physical talent.There is no solution at all, unless there are a few three-point gunners who shoot infinitely from the outside, this should be able to break the game perfectly, but it is a pity that St. Joseph does not have such a gunner.

Kyle's statistics in this game are still good, 33 points, 6 assists, 2 rebounds and 3 steals, but 25 of 10 shots are not very good-looking. He broke through and was entertained by Connecticut hot pot four times, and Kyle's mouth was bubbling!Larry scored 9 points on 3-of-10, Martin scored 8 points on 3-of-7, Kelly scored 4 points on 3-of-6, and Blackwell scored 9 points on 4-of-11.The St. Joseph team's shooting rate is only 34%, which is terrible. This is a very fast pace to score as many as 81 points. Under normal circumstances, such a shooting rate can only be [-] to [-] points.

Connecticut's inside double-high rebounds doubled over ten, Villanueva scored 22 points and 8 rebounds, Rudy 20 points and 6 rebounds, Chelsea 6 points, Panral 5 points, Boone 12 points and 10 rebounds, Armstrong 7 points Points and 10 rebounds, all quite balanced technical statistics.Their shooting percentage is barely qualified, only 42%, but their rebounds are more than ten more than St. Joseph's. The reason why they only won by 14 points in the end is that they also made more than ten more turnovers than St. Joseph's.
