Chapter 1 Thirty-seven olive branches
Fortunately, Jim didn't let it go, he requested a timeout in time, severely reprimanded Wesley for his sluggish performance during the timeout, and changed the team's tactics in time to let Wesley run more without the ball Move, no longer occupy the ball.
The prestige of the head coach Jim in Syracuse is still very high. Wesley originally occupied a lot of the team's shooting power and was guilty of indiscriminate shooting, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction among his teammates. Dare to have any opinion.
This is the college basketball world, there is no such thing as a superstar who can contradict the head coach. If such a thing is done, it will definitely be widely reprimanded by the society. Even in the NBA, which is known for its commercial nature, if a player does such things too much, he will definitely become notorious and become a malignant villain that everyone in the league despises. It will be difficult to find a next player who is willing to accept him.
When the timeout came back, Syracuse University's offense and defense instantly took on a new look. Without Wesley Johnson's dominance of the ball, the team's running speed instantly rose to a higher level. The accelerated Syracuse University was like a high-speed sports car. With sufficient horsepower, he is not afraid of Marshall University's interior defense at all.
So what if your defense is strong inside?
I can use the run, screen, pick and roll to get more space!
Andy Lautins, who was out for most of the game, completely let go of his restraint in the second half of the game. He ran out of open space and got a lot of shots. He made 4 of 3 three-pointers and opened up the situation alone. , scored eight points in just 5 minutes, and felt hot to the touch.
Facing Syracuse University, which is on the rise, Marshall University obviously has no power to parry. It is obviously impossible to use the irrational Wesley Johnson as a breakthrough point. He has endured most of the anger of head coach Jim. Withered, he can only play off-ball tactics honestly, diligently like a role player, and dare not have the slightest complaint.
Hassan Whiteside scored 11 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks in the game, which is not to say that he is not strong. He blasted Syracuse University's inside line by himself, but the defensive end also made Wesley Johnson lose face for a while, but After all, because the offensive skills were too single, it was a pity that he lost in the end.
Andy Laudins was undoubtedly the one who saved the game in the second half of the game. He scored 21 points in the second half and made 15 of 9 shots. Three of the three-pointers were even more crucial.
Li Shihao's backcourt partner last year obviously has accumulated enough experience in the game, with excellent running skills and precise three-point sights, he is a threat to any team from the outside and cannot be ignored at all.
After the game, Hassan Whiteside came to the locker room alone, remained silent, and watched his teammates change clothes and leave one by one, with confusion and loss in his eyes.
His family is not a rich and happy middle-class family. Like most black families in the United States, he needs a job to earn him the dollars to support his family. Basketball is the path he has high hopes for.
Since he was a child, he has been in love with this orange elf. When he was short, his father beat and scolded him, telling him to study hard and give up wasting time on basketball.
But he still stubbornly held the basketball in his hand and gritted his teeth, even though the scars on his body were burning hot.
Later, his basketball talent was gradually revealed. He started to use basketball to win some scholarships for himself, and even used basketball to receive a college invitation letter. Although it is not a well-known international university in the United States, his family still accepted it. In this sport, he can play happily, and he has no power to restrain him anymore.
But when he came to the NCAA arena, he suddenly discovered that the world in the former state league was so small. He had never been invited to the McDonald's High School All-Star Game, nor had he participated in the Nike Summit. During this period, he had no advantage at all compared to the well-known Son of Heaven in the United States.
He did not give up, but still clenched his teeth and persisted. He chose the path of basketball. Even though it was full of thorns and the road was full of wind and rain, he still walked through the thorns and braved the wind and rain, and moved forward tenaciously.
He participated in the draft this year, and his family is destined not to give him more financial assistance. Maybe he will become more mature after two or three years of experience in the NCAA, and may even enter the ranks of first-round rookies, but he did not. Two or three years of university study in France.
He has to play an amazing performance this year and let those teams know that it is right to choose him, so that he will get a contract that will allow him to persevere on the road of professional players.
But the disastrous defeat of today's game made him extremely disappointed. Even though he fought hard for rebounds every time and defended every enemy's attack, it was still difficult to restore the team's decline. The gap was too big. There is more than enough heart but not enough strength.
He was like a swimmer, his feet were tightly entwined by seaweed, he had no chance of getting out, he could only struggle feebly, and finally drowned when the sea tide was high.
Helpless, engulfing him like an abyss, unable to see a ray of light.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the locker room, clear and rhythmic.
"Who?" Hassan's low voice echoed in the narrow locker room. It's so late, who else is here? Could it be that his teammates forgot something and came back to get it?
When the door was opened, what came into view was a yellow-skinned body. The healthy, wheat-colored skin looked firm and powerful, and the smooth muscle lines were full of explosive power. This person is definitely an athlete. His exercise It's in place, even if it's not much worse than some black and white people, it's just a little worse than those with the top talents.
"Hassan, hello, my name is Bruce, nice to meet you!" The visitor had a smile on his face, not at all like meeting him for the first time, and he was extremely familiar.
"Hi, nice to meet you, what's the matter?" Although he was very disappointed, Hassan managed to cover it up in time, so that he didn't show it to outsiders.
"I'm from Minnesota, and I hope to be able to fight with you next year, as long as you participate in the draft this year!" The Asian man named Bruce smiled and showed his teeth, with a sincere and enthusiastic tone.
"Minnesota, Timberwolves?" Hassan was stunned, shocked by the sudden news, "Is there anything to prove your identity?"
Li Shihao rubbed his nose, this was the first time he met someone who didn't know him on the Syracuse campus today, "You can search for my name on the Internet after you go back, Bruce Lee, I think you should get my information !"
"Bruce Lee? That magical kid from the Timberwolves?" Hassan stood up abruptly, his eyes flashed with fiery, and he said excitedly.
"If there is no one else on the Timberwolves team with this name, I should be it!" Li Shihao laughed and made a joke that didn't make much sense.
