Arenas uses the off-ball pick-and-roll pocket to come out and get the ball.
The defender in front of him has been replaced by Casey Green, and Lu Yu is forced to defend the 2.18-meter center.
Arenas didn't even raise his head. Facing Casey Green's defense, he didn't even think about passing the ball. He raised his hand and shot. Casey Green shouted, jumped up and wanted to block the shot, but his eyes were empty.
I know I was shaken.
After Arenas deceived Casey Green, he dribbled the ball, reached the basket in one step, and used his momentum to dunk.
"Peng!"
The basket was slightly deformed by Arenas. Arenas roared and hit his chest with his hand.
This is playing basketball!
If according to the past playing style, Loren Woods hits Lu Yu out of position, the ball must be handed to Loren Woods.
Is it reasonable?
Reasonable!
But Arenas will think, isn't it wrong for me to hit Casey Green?
Why should I hand over the ball?
This was the limitation of basketball in that era. In that era, everyone subconsciously felt that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate. Therefore, when there was a mismatch, the first choice was to hand the ball to the inside.
But since Arenas has unlimited firing rights, he will not hand over the ball!
He wants to score!
Crazy scoring!
…
Lu Yu glanced at the depressed Captain Casey, laughed, and said, "Let's go, give him a favor."
As soon as he reached the opposite half, Arenas came directly over, while Richard Jefferson and Michael Wright stood faintly aside, preparing to attack from a flank.
Breakthrough, emergency stop, no space.
Lu Yu clicked, and Arenas was not shaken up. He just stood firmly in his position and stretched out an arm to interfere with Lu Yu's shot.
Lu Yu did not force a shot, but passed the ball to Dan Dickau at a 45-degree angle, then raised the ball to the high post and made an arc, and then passed through the screen of Casey Green.
Dan Dickau waited at the 45-degree angle for a long time, waiting for the moment Lu Yu came out.
When Lu Yu caught the ball, Arenas had just squeezed past Casey Green. Before he could pounce in front of Lu Yu, he saw Lu Yu speed up and rush in.
He subconsciously reached out his hand.
Lu Yu was dragged to the ground, and his whole body slid far along the floor.
Free throw made!
…
Arenas scored again from mid-range.
…
Casey Green and Loren Woods got entangled and finally got rid of each other at the cost of two blood marks on their arms, and then ran to the top of the arc to set a screen for Lu Yu. Lu Yu was pulled off his jersey by Arenas
After coming out, he finally received a pass from Dan Dickau at the elbow area. As soon as he got the basketball, a dark-faced Richard Jefferson stuck his thigh between Lu Yu's legs.
"Damn it..." Lu Yu cursed in Chinese.
He dribbled the ball and squeezed in, feeling the huge force coming from behind, which made him grit his teeth.
My own strength is still much worse than that of forward players.
Lu Yu suddenly made a feint, turned his body to the free throw line, stepped on the free throw line with his right foot, quickly took off, and threw the ball while drifting outward.
Jefferson wanted to block the shot, but found that Lu Yu was drifting further and further away, far beyond the range that he could block the shot.
The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and fell into the basket with a "swish" sound.
47:41,
Gonzaga continues to lead.
…
It's not like Arizona Wildcats head coach Jim Roseborough hasn't considered the tactic of letting Arenas play unlimited isolations before.
He has seen Arenas score 40 points in a game, so he naturally knows Arenas' ability.
But the ncaa and nba are different.
Players in the NCAA are divided into two types. One type uses the NCAA as a springboard to enter the NBA. This type of player cares more about their personal data.
The other type is players who value the team's sense of honor more and can sacrifice their own data for the team's progress, such as Duke University's Sean Battier.
As a coach, he certainly hopes that his players are all of the second type.
But Jim Roseborough also knows that he is not only a coach, but also responsible for the future of these children. When a player shows his first thought, as long as the player has the strength, Rose
Burler will try to satisfy the other person.
This is why Roseborough is loved by so many five-star high school students.
Of course, the premise is that it cannot affect the team's record.
The tactics deployed by Roseborough are also very simple - pick and roll.
Loren Woods reached the high post and set a hand-off screen for Arenas. Arenas went straight to the basket after the screen and made an easy layup.
Immediately afterwards, it was the same routine again.
Arenas holds the ball, and Jefferson pulls him over to pick and roll him. Lu Yu grabs Jefferson, but meets Loren Woods and continues to screen Arenas. With the help of Loren Woods' pick and roll, Arenas steps forward.
Stepped into the paint and wreaked havoc on the Gonzaga Bulldogs' rim.
There are no complicated routines, just the most primitive pick-and-roll.
In fact, their pick-and-roll play is not good, because Arenas only has eyes on the basket and does not know how to pass the ball. Everyone can see this, but the NCAA has 35 seconds of attack time. If a pick-and-roll fails,
Twice, or if it doesn't work twice, then three times. Only if there is really no chance, Arenas will choose to pass it to his teammates.
It doesn't matter if you can't score. If you can't score, all the players will return to the backcourt to defend seriously. If they can't score, they won't let Gonzaga score easily.
This style of play gave Lu Yu a headache.
Mark Four was sitting on the court with a frown on his face.
The entire Arizona Wildcats team is like a hedgehog stretching out its sharp thorns, making it difficult for people to start, and at the same time, it will come over and poke you from time to time.
The score has been staggering, and in the last thirty seconds, the score reached 74:73
Gonzaga only had a one-point lead.
Lu Yu was breathing heavily. He could no longer remember the scoring data of the two people. He only knew that he could win today's game only by defending the last attack.
"Lu, are you sure you can defend the last ball?" Mark Foyo hesitated.
He didn't know how much physical strength Lu Yu still had.
It is not easy for the team to take advantage of Arizona's unpreparedness at the beginning and maintain the lead until now.
Lu Yu glanced at Arenas of the Wildcats not far away who was also gasping for air, and said firmly: "I can do it!"
Mark Foyo nodded.
At this time, he must trust his teammates.
After the timeout ended, players from both sides walked onto the court. Lu Yu folded the hands of all his teammates: "Believe me, I will keep the victory in Spokane."
The teammates shouted in unison: "beat them!"
Gonzaga Bulldogs players came on the stage, and the fans burst into warm applause.
The game continues.
"As long as I score one more goal, you lose." Arenas stood in front of Lu Yu.
"Are you talking about a bet or a competition?" Lu Yu asked.
Arenas was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you look at the technical statistics? I scored 37 points and you scored 38 points. As long as I score one more goal, I will beat you whether it is personal score or the game."
Lu Yu smiled: "Let's wait until you get in."
The timer starts beating.
At this time, the court has reached the point where every inch of ground must be fought for. Every position can collide with huge sparks. Just a few seconds after the two sides came on the court, the basketball has not passed the half-time, and the referee has already blown two urgent whistles——
If you don't blow it, you'll get into a fight.
Lu Yu stood quietly in the backcourt waiting for the opponent to bring the ball.
Mark Foyou looked at Lu Yu's slightly thinner back compared to other players, but at this moment he felt as solid as a mountain.
"Maybe Lu Yu's offensive talent is not as good as Arenas now, but Arenas is not as good as Lu Yu in one thing."
Mark Foyou looked up at the dome of the arena, and the dazzling lights dazzled him slightly.
