no shortcuts in basketball

The next night, the game between the Arizona State University Devils and the University of Memphis Tigers officially kicked off at Ryland Stadium.

The Ruiland Stadium is a rugby stadium that can accommodate up to 7 people watching the game.

During the NCAA tournament, it is very common for this kind of football field to be temporarily changed to a basketball court. More than 5 seats were also released for this game.

More than 5 people watched the game. When he stepped into the stadium, Xu Yong felt what is called thin oxygen.

This is much more suffocating than the so-called "highland home" in Denver before.

Looking at nearly half of the fans holding the Devils logo and flags, they also discovered for the first time that there were so many fans supporting them.

This is not Phoenix, but Houston thousands of miles away!

"From now on, every game will be the last for us, do your best, guys!" Xu Yong said to his teammates before going on the court.

Even if they are only four or five points sure, they have to show a lot of fighting spirit!

The game will start soon.

The lineup of both sides, Devils: Glasser, Harden, Cooksix, Xu Yong, Ayres;

老虎队：1米90的23号德里克·罗斯、1米98的5号安东尼奥·安德森、2米01的14号克里斯·道格拉斯·罗伯茨、2米06的2号罗伯特·多齐尔、2米03的3号乔伊·多西。

Ayres jumped to get the ball for the Devils, Harden and Xu Yong played a pick-and-roll, Xu Yongshun received a pass from Harden, and flew directly into the air against Anderson.

"Oh!"

Directly through Anderson smashed the ball into the basket!

This flat-bottomed thunder directly ignited the emotions of the audience at the beginning.

Although the Devils are the "dogs" tonight, they have been on the road to counterattack this season!

The Tigers responded quickly. Rose passed Glasser like a road in the early morning, tore through the second line of defense of the Devils like a scalpel, and finally danced in the air against Ayers. Ballet, the right hand sends the ball steadily into the basket.

The members of the devil team were all stunned.

Speed, explosive power, core strength, staying in the air, and finishing ability, Rose showed all top abilities in one round, which is far more shocking than the feeling in the video!

Xu Yong was also shocked.

Before the rebirth, when Fengcheng Rose withered for a long time, too many new fans held excel tables, saying that Rose was the worst MVP in NBA history, that Rose took away the MVP that should have belonged to James, and said that Rose was in the The league of the future is just an average star.

However, it's like some people in later generations think that Jordan is not GOAT, but they can't say such crazy things when they watch the game.

Moreover, this is Rose in the NCAA period.

Harden missed a three-pointer in the frontcourt, and Dorsey protected the defensive rebound.

Looking back, Rose is still attacking with the ball on the outside.

During the regular season, as a third-year Roberts was the core of the Tigers' offense, more tactics revolved around him.

But since entering the league playoffs, especially after reaching the championship, Rose has become the first core of the Tigers.

These are not reflected in conventional statistics, but they are truly displayed in front of the opponent.

Glasser took a big step back this time to give Rose room to shoot, and Dorsey stepped up to run a pick-and-roll for Rose.

The Devils chose to pinch Rose directly. This was Sandek's pre-match tactical arrangement. Rose's three-pointer was unstable, and Dorsey's offensive ability was weak.

But at the moment when the pincer attack was formed, Ross was like a rocket that was ejected, and "whoosh" slipped through the cracks in the crowd!

There was really only a very small slit, and it would have closed in the next second, but Rose could seize that momentary opportunity to force through!

Xu Yong quickly helped defend after seeing it.

But Ross broke through without slowing down and directly changed direction and forcibly passed the defense!

Burning knees.

Xu Yong turned around and chased him to block the shot.

After Rose felt a big lever in the air, he switched to the wiper on the left to score!

The audience was already excited, this is simply invincible!

Sandek looked serious on the sidelines.

Although he has made many responses, those responses are as vulnerable as the dam built by the Indians in the face of Rose's personal ability.

Facts have proved that if you want to stop Rose's pace, you can only mobilize the defense of the whole team.

Harden also chose to attack the Tigers' inside line, but Dorsey's tough defense successfully interfered with him.

Because of his appearance, in history, Dorsey was jokingly called the Howard Division after joining the Rockets.

However, there is a big difference in strength between the two. The most fundamental reason is that there is a lot of difference in height between the two. Dorsey's height of 2 meters is the height of water in shoes. His actual bare feet may only be about 03 meters, which also led to his survival in the NBA. The space is limited. After all, there are only a few insiders who can play at this height, such as Ben Wallace and Barkley.

But that doesn't stop him from being a deterrent in the NCAA. With bodybuilder-level muscles and bull-like strength, he's the Tigers' swordsman.

Offensive and defensive transition, in Sandek's shouts, the Devils put up a 2-3 zone defense.

This is to protect the team's penalty area and prevent Rose from breaking through to the basket as easily as before.

Rose's choice in the face of zone defense is to break through directly.

In the 2-3 zone defense, there were originally two people on the outside line, but this time the two people who activated the outside line were directly passed by him.

One step inside the free throw line, Rose soared into the air, and the three inside quickly helped defend.

The reason why the 2-3 zone defense can protect the penalty zone well is that it is like a pocket formation, no matter how powerful the breakthrough is, it will be wrapped up.

Rose didn't have a good shot space, but in the next second, he stopped the ball in the air to find someone, then twisted his body into a twist, and stuffed the ball to Dozier, who cut from the baseline, and the latter took a step to catch the ball. Slam dunk!

Rose, in fact, is still a player who is very happy to share the ball.

This is not to say how good his playmaking talent is, but that when he tears the opponent's defense line and attracts the defense, he is willing to pass the ball to his teammates.

This is why the University of Memphis obviously has Roberts and Rose, but the team has 8 players who average more than 5 points per game.

Other teams may be led by stars, like Kansas State led by Michael Beasley, or teamwork, like the University of Michigan, which Arizona State University played against before, but Memphis University, is the existing The star leads the team, and then it is team play!

The most critical reason for this is Rose. He has a high ball possession rate, but he is not the kind who holds the ball for 20 seconds and dumps his teammates in the last few seconds, but really uses his personal ability to create opportunities for his teammates.

Of course, the most important thing is that Rose has this ability. When you use four people or even the whole team to deal with him alone, you simply cannot take care of his teammates.

At this moment, Xu Yong knew why Rose was able to counterattack Beasley and become the No. [-] pick in the end.

Because scouts don't just look at excel, they look at football.
