NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 10 64 into 32! Against David West

Since the 64-to-32 games were held simultaneously, neither Marquette University nor Xavier University was a popular seeding team, so there was really not much attention at the beginning of the game, except for some students from the schools where the game was played specially came to watch. , only a few team scouts who were more interested in Wade or West came to watch the game.

It is said that the NCAA is very popular in the United States, and it is so popular that even the NBA has to take the initiative to avoid off-peak travel.

But that only talks about things after the top 8. There are too many top 64 in the first round and top 32 in the second round, and most of these games will not be taken seriously.

However, for the members of the two teams participating in the game, this is a crucial battle. Everyone wants to be the team that wins the game and enters the top 32!

-

Wang Chong looked at the players from Xavier University on the sidelines. As expected, he didn't recognize any of them except David West.

This is good news, at least it proves that Xavier University does not have a player other than West who can later enter the NBA.

Before Marquette University, only Wade was at the NBA level, but now there is another Wang Chong.

While Wang Chong was sizing up the opposite side, Xavier University was also sizing them up.

David West saw Wang Chong almost at first sight.

No way, Wang Chong, who is 2 meters tall, is the tallest player at Marquette University, and he seems to stand out from the crowd.

"Is he my opponent today? He looks like a thin bamboo pole. He will definitely fall down at the first touch." With this thought in his mind, West looked at Wade again.

"Others don't matter, that guy must find a way to restrain him, he's too fast!"

But West didn't know that this kind of thinking would cost him dearly.

Soon, the referee signaled the substitute players of both sides to come off the field, and the game was about to officially begin.

Wang Chong and West came to the center circle to prepare for the jump ball.

When everyone is ready, the referee blows the whistle and throws the basketball in his hand into the sky.

West suddenly exerted his strength and bent his knees to take off, looking at the basketball in the sky and determined to win.

But a big hand pushed the basketball away first, giving Marquette University the ball.

"The arms are so long!"

West was slightly startled and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He had only looked at Wang Chong briefly before, without observing closely at close range. Only then did he realize that Wang Chong's wingspan was a bit exaggerated, at least over 2 meters 2!

在未来那个天赋怪横行的时代，没有个2米28以上的臂展都不好意思出门，2米3以上才能用长臂猿来形容，像文班亚马那种身高2米24，臂展2米44的怪物根本就无法想象。

王崇2米24的臂展已经算长的夸张了，因为2米08的大卫.韦斯特有一双2米2的大长臂就已经被多次夸奖。

West's wingspan is slightly inferior to Wang Chong's, and needless to say in terms of jumping, West is a classic floor player, and jumping has always been a shortcoming.

Although Durant is not good at jumping, but compared to springers like James, his peak jump of 77 is already considered outstanding among a 2-meter big man, and Wang Chong currently has a jump of 11, jumping ball It's easy to beat David West.

Wade received the basketball and quickly advanced. He stopped outside the three-point line, glanced at the opponent's defensive position, and suddenly understood.

Sure enough, Xavier University also carefully studied their game videos, especially for their ace, but arranged a "big meal".

The opponent's player defending Wade was obviously positioned far back, much like the way Wang Chong had faced him in a one-on-one duel before.

<divclass="contentadv">But unlike the one-on-one duel, even if Wade forced a breakthrough and passed the defensive player, there was West inside who was ready to rush forward at any time to help defend.

In the past, Wade might have been in trouble and needed to use other methods to break through the opponent's defense, such as speeding up the pace of the game, turning positional battles into chaotic battles, and then using his own mobility to take advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold. Keep playing defensive counterattacks.

However... the situation is slightly different now.

Wade stood at the top of the three-point line and slowly stretched out his hand to make a tactical gesture.

Upon seeing this, Wang Chong immediately pulled out from the inside and provided a pick-and-roll screen for Wade.

With the help of Wang Chong's pick-and-roll, Wade rushed directly into the penalty area. West, who had anticipated this situation, immediately stopped in front of Wade. At the same time, Wade's defensive players also formed a flanking attack from behind.

The Xavier University coach saw this situation and smiled on his face.

"Sure enough, Marquette University can only rely on Wade to attack. As long as it can contain Wade's performance, victory will be easy..."

His smile hadn't fully bloomed yet, but his expression suddenly froze.

Because Wade, who had already rushed to the basket, did not force a shot against West's defense as he imagined, but directly threw the basketball backward.

Wang Chong, who had just set a pick-and-roll for Wade, did not rush toward the basket. Instead, he took a few steps back and was already one step outside the free throw line, about 22 feet away from the basket.

Wade's pass was very accurate and fell into Wang Chong's hands just right.

"What does he want to do? Can you tell me?"

The coach of Xavier University felt bad, and then he saw Wang Chong take off and shoot from the spot. The basketball fell straight into the basket and hit the ball steadily.

2: 0!

Marquette University came out on top, and a small number of Marquette University students who came specifically to watch the game applauded and cheered.

Wade also high-fived Wang Chong to celebrate when he retreated.

This pick-and-roll tactic was thought up after discovering that Wang Chong had developed a good mid-range shot.

Although the number of practices is relatively small and still needs to be adjusted, the excellent personal abilities of Wade and Wang Chong have become one of Marquette University's most simple, direct and efficient tactics.

After the pick-and-roll, if the opponent chooses to cover and double-team Wade, then Wade can pass the ball to Wang Chong outside for a mid-range shot. If the opponent pursues Wang Chong, Wade also has a very high success rate in 1v1 offense under the basket. .

In addition, as Wade is a defender, the only defenders who can keep up with him are defenders. When the pick-and-roll passes, Wang Chong will be misplaced against the opponent's defenders. Most of the NCAA defenders, including shooting guards, are taller than others. There are very few people who are taller than 1 meters. How can they compete with Wang Chong who is 9 meters tall?

To put it bluntly, there are only a handful of shooting guards in the NBA draft who are usually 1 or 98 meters tall. There are only a dozen or so shooting guards among the 2 teams in the entire NCAA tournament who can be selected into the NBA every year.

Even if Wang Chong faces Wade's defense, he can use his height advantage to maintain a very high shooting percentage, and he is a shorter defender than Wade.

Although this pick-and-roll tactic is very simple, it is unsolvable in the face of talent!
