NBA bad guys
Chapter 122 UMASS
On the other side of the court, on the University of Massachusetts bench, everyone was looking at the sidelines very leisurely.
They are quite confident.
They are the No. 1 seed and entered the NCAA finals.
Naturally, there is an innate sense of superiority.
In their eyes, no one else is their match.
Even though the opponent has a superstar like Allen Iverson, they are not afraid.
Because they have Marcus Camby.
A super insider.
In their view, Marcus Camby's role is no less than that of Allen Iverson, or even greater.
It's just that in this era, fans like defenders more.
Maybe it's because Jordan led the wave of guards.
Players like Drexler, Magic Johnson, and Hardaway have all been recognized by fans.
And the media is more willing to report on such defenders.
However, in the eyes of some professionals, they know deeply that super insiders like Ewing, O'Neal, Olajuwon or Malone are the key to winning.
Therefore, the University of Massachusetts does not think that it is at a disadvantage at all, but has a huge advantage.
In 1996, Camby became the winner of the Wooden Award and the 1996 Naismith Award. He was selected as the college player of the year by Sporting News and was selected to the All-American team. His 336 blocks ranked first in the history of the university.
Who would think that a person who has received such an honor is weak?
As the head coach of the University of Massachusetts, Rick Pitino is not feeling very relaxed.
Because he knows that the opponent's players are difficult to deal with today.
Rick Pitino is a Sicilian-American who was born in New York and grew up in the Village of Bayville. Pitino attended St. Dominic High School near Oyster Bay, Long Island, and was captain of the school team.
In 1970, Pitino entered the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he was an outstanding defender for the University of Massachusetts Minutemen. As of the 2008-09 season, Pitino's 329 assists in his college career ranked tenth in the history of the University of Massachusetts. In his junior and senior years, he led the school team in assists. In his senior season, he dished out 168 assists, ranking eighth on the single-season assists list in school history.
His outstanding experience can be seen from his resume.
This is no empty talk.
He likes to study carefully before doing anything.
Take this game for example.
He studies every game, every player of his opponent.
He knows every player at Georgetown University and even knows their growth trajectory very well.
Of course, it doesn't matter to others, such as Horston, White, Williamson and others, they are all relatively ordinary players.
Although they each have their own highlight moments, Rick Pitino clearly knows that these are just short-lived and will not last.
Even Allen Iverson, he didn't take it to heart.
Because for Georgetown University, Allen Iverson is the basic player. He relies on speed as support, and then he has the ability to score and distribute the ball.
But he has his own absolute flaws.
Insufficient height and poor defense.
But there was another scorer at Georgetown that he had to pay attention to.
Wu Liang.
Yes, this player has a very good height and wingspan, which gives him basic conditions for offense and defense.
Otherwise, it will be useless no matter how good your explosive jumping is.
Secondly, in the Big East competition, Wu Liang's skills are not outstanding, only some breakthroughs.
But as time goes by, Wu Liang's progress can be described as rapid.
His breakthroughs are getting better and better, and his layup shooting percentage is getting higher and higher.
None of this mattered, he actually practiced shooting later.
Shooting is a skill that makes perfect with practice.
Therefore, very few people can practice mid-range shooting in such a short period of time.
Not only that, Wu Liang's running position is also outstanding.
Able to take advantage of his teammates' pick-and-roll, run into a very good gap, and then catch the ball and shoot.
If these are still within the scope of his understanding, then there is one thing that he cannot understand anyway.
That is Wu Liang's body.
At first, it seemed that Wu Liang's weight was only about 80 kilograms, but after watching the video of Wu Liang's last game, he found that he was at least about 87 kilograms.
Moreover, after gaining weight in such a short period of time, his muscles became extremely strong.
The most important thing is that this not only did not affect Wu Liang's speed, but also made great progress in Wu Liang's speed, explosive power, and jumping.
you could put it that way.
This is simply a miracle.
Not only that, if a normal NBA player wants to gain weight in such a short period of time, it is not completely impossible.
However, this will inevitably affect his shooting.
The aiming point of the shot will drop.
But Wu Liang seemed not to be affected by this at all.
His shooting percentage is still very high.
Due to various considerations, Rick Pitino felt that the biggest variable in this game was not the wonder boy Allen Iverson, but this man from the East.
Wu Liang!
If Wu Liang can show his bravery, this game will not be easy to win.
"Coach, why are you so depressed!"
Just as Rick Pitino was thinking about his pre-game plans, a young man with a full head of yellow hair walked up to him and sat down.
This person is Kema Tolson.
His scoring average is not high, but he plays very spiritually.
A bit like Manu Ginobili.
Many times, the team needs his connection.
"Listen, the opponents this time should not be underestimated. After all, they also entered the finals as the No. 2 seed. You must go all out."
Rick Pitino felt that his players seemed to underestimate the enemy a little too much, which was not a good thing for the game.
There may be a price to pay for it.
"Coach, we are the No. 1 seed, you won't forget it. Besides, they want to compare with us, but I think they are still far behind."
Kema Tolson said what he really thought.
"Coach, Keima, what are you two talking about here?"
At this time, Marcus Camby also walked over from the side.
"Coach said let's not take it lightly."
Kema Tolson said disapprovingly.
"Of course, their two top players are the ones I want to pay attention to, and I will do my best to defend them."
Marcus Camby was okay, he didn't underestimate his opponent too much.
Rick Pitino nodded slightly. Well, no matter what, the team's ace still has a sense of crisis. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to play the game well.
