Chapter 1 Three and Five Excellent Defenders
Jim is not an ordinary person. Since he coached the historic six-overtime game last year, his reputation in the United States has risen sharply. His coaching skills have been widely recognized by the American college basketball community.
As Jim's prestige grew, he also became more and more aware of the importance of "raising hope". This is a rather broad and profound vocabulary in Chinese culture, and Jim has a lot of experience.
Today, when Jim's influence in Syracuse is becoming more and more profound, it is extremely rare to be able to say something to his former disciples and express his obvious optimism.
This is not a speech in front of the media, as long as you find some excuses to prevaricate, boasting that the other party is elated, and both parties are happy.
Jim still attaches great importance to Li Shihao, a disciple who was very valued in the past, and the evaluation he gave is also the most pertinent and reliable.
Li Shihao suppressed his curiosity and calmed down to watch the match between the two teams.
At the beginning of this game, just as Li Shihao predicted, the Syracuse University Orange team had a clear upper hand. Wesley Johnson succeeded on the offensive end again and again, or suddenly or shot, and no one could stop him at all.
Once Wesley is out of shape, Marshall University will be difficult to play.
As Wesley's original competitor, Li Shihao was very aware of Wesley's strengths and weaknesses.
Wesley's physical condition is excellent, which allows him to freely display his talents in both offense and defense in the third position, unlike those glass men who are afraid of confrontation, who are timid on the defensive end and become the "defense on the field" black hole".
Moreover, Wesley's offensive ability is very good, and he has an excellent long-range shooting ability. When God gave him excellent physical talent, he also gave him a soft mid-range shooting touch, making him more threatening on the offensive end .
In addition, Wesley and Li Shihao are players who are good at running without the ball. When encountering strict defense from opponents and losing shooting space, they can use running without the ball to attract double-teams for other players or open up shooting space, and make jump shots by themselves. Score.
However, unlike Li Shihao, Wesley's breakthrough ability is not strong. Compared with Li Shihao, Wesley obviously cannot make good use of his excellent physical condition. sway.
When the game was deadlocked, Wesley obviously didn't have enough finishing ability and could only rely on jump shots to score. This is really a bit monotonous for a non-pure shooter like him.
However, relying on these skills, Wesley is enough to get enough exposure in this year's NCAA competition. I believe many teams will be willing to choose him. Since this year's draft pool is much shallower than last year, Wesley's pick I'm afraid it won't be too low. A lottery rookie position is probably impossible to run.
There will be teams willing to use the lottery pick to select him!
As for whether it can move forward, it depends on Wesley's performance in leading the team this year. If he can lead Syracuse University to a better result than last year's Li Shihao, then Wesley's pick is close to the No. [-] pick. It's possible, but, considering Wesley's current strength, this is obviously not very likely.
In the first quarter, Wesley took whatever he wanted on the offensive end. He not only disrupted Marshall University's defensive system through excellent running offense, but also used his good vision and overall situation to pass a lot of good shots. Teammates create offensive opportunities.
Andy hit two key three-pointers at the 45-degree three-point line on the outside, all of which came from Wesley's pass.
Only in the first quarter, Marshall University fell behind by 20 points with a score of 12:[-]. The entire lineup of Syracuse University was revitalized by Wesley alone. On the other hand, Marshall University started to play without rules and made frequent mistakes. And unreasonable shots, leading to a dangerous situation.
The head coaches of Marshall University saw it all, but he was not in a hurry. After calmly analyzing the situation, he replaced a tall center forward.
Li Shihao set his sights on him. With a height of 2 meters, he is not too prominent in the American basketball circle where there are so many people. Could it be that Jim is talking about him?
Just as Li Shihao was thinking to himself, a word floated beside him, "Bruce, pay attention to this kid, his name is Hassan Whiteside!"
Li Shihao turned his head to look at his mentor Jim beside him, and saw that he was holding a cup of warm tea, drinking intently while watching the game, without any intention of distracting his attention. If Li Shihao was not familiar with Jim, he would have gotten used to it Jim's voice, I am afraid that people will doubt whether the abrupt words just now were said by Jim.
After Hassan Whiteside came on the field, he did not immediately bring the team a score advantage. This center is obviously not the kind of leader inside player with excellent offensive ability. His offensive skills are still a bit rough and single. It was a bit difficult to play inside Syracuse University.
But then, Li Shihao discovered the specialness of this kid named Hassan Whiteside. He is an excellent shot blocker.
Hassan received a pass from his teammate in the backcourt during an offense, immediately dunked and scored, and after getting back two points, he made a morale-boosting action.
And this, in the eyes of the proud Wesley Johnson, is undoubtedly a provocation. He is already a senior player this year and has a lot of experience in the NCAA. Few people dare to provoke him in front of him. , Hassan's actions undoubtedly angered Wesley Johnson.
In the next attack, Wesley was obviously a little over the top. He controlled the ball. When Andy found an open opportunity and reached out for the ball, Wesley had no intention of handing over the ball.
He looked at the position of Hassan Whiteside in front of him, and quickly calculated the breakthrough route and attack opportunity in his mind.
When his eyes touched a gap, Wesley's eyes lit up, and he started up quickly, turning into a wind and rushing to the basket, avoiding the defense of Marshall University's opponents, jumping into the air, trying to go up When a basket is scored.
A black shadow rushed up, and the large white and green jersey brought a trace of wind due to the rapid airflow. Wesley only felt that his sight was blocked by a tall body, and then his hands holding the ball encountered a rush of wind. With a heavy blow, a mountain-like force came from the basketball in his hand.
The next second, the basketball in Wesley's hand flew out and was firmly caught in the air by a big hand.
After Wesley landed, he only had time to lower his head to catch his breath, and looked up at the figure in front of him wearing the No. 21 jersey, feeling a little unspeakable in his heart.
He was actually taken out, and he was still an unknown player. He seemed to be a rookie player who had just entered Marshall University this year.
It's really ridiculous, I actually lost to a brat!
