The reason why Duke University has been able to win so far is that in addition to the players' high level of tactical literacy, clearer player configuration and role positioning, there is also the most important point -
Lineup depth.
When both sides rotate normally, Duke's lineup depth ensures that there is still enough offensive firepower on the court when their main players rest.
Duhon made an emergency stop and then accelerated quickly to easily break through Gonzaga's defense, and distributed the ball to Boozer before Casey Green could make up for it.
Boozer dunks.
Lu Yu secretly sighed. When the quality of outside defense declines, Casey Green on the inside is likely to lose sight of one thing.
So, spring is here for Boozer.
Blake Stepp missed a high shot and Boozer grabbed the rebound.
Duke advanced very quickly, and Duhon's speed left Gonzaga in the dust. Gonzaga's players had just settled into position.
Dunleavy received a pass from Duhon at a 45-degree angle and hit a three-pointer. Black tried his best to miss the ball, and stamped his foot hard on the sidelines.
Lu Yu stood up and shouted to him: "Blake, don't be anxious, take your time, be steady."
Blake kept his head down and ran forward, not knowing whether he heard it or not.
In fact, Black also wanted to prove himself during Lu Yu's absence. Before Lu Yu came to the team, he was the hope of the team's future. Although Lu Yu later convinced him, which player doesn't want to prove himself?
Woolen cloth?
Sometimes even Black himself doesn't know that he will turn into a desperate person when Lu Yu comes off the court. In fact, he subconsciously wants to let everyone see that he is also outstanding.
But today, he may have exerted a little too much force.
After receiving a pass from his teammate, he jumped directly in. His speed was so fast that Duke's forwards couldn't keep up. However, when he was about to go inside for a layup, Boozer forced him down.
After pressing the ball, Boozer spread his arms like a forward and went for a fast break.
Even though Casey Green tried his best to catch up, Boozer still carried him for a layup.
Duke fans chanted Boozer's name.
Boozer also yelled when passing by Gonzaga's bench. In Lu Yu's words, "It's so arrogant."
In just two minutes, Boozer had led Duke University to chase seven points in a row. The score was 19:25, but it led by six points. This time it was Mark Foyo's turn to call a timeout.
Mark Foyou spread his hands and said to Lu Yu: "I originally wanted you to rest more, but I didn't expect them to force you out so quickly. Well, I think I shouldn't let you come down. Come up."
"
Although Mark Foyo's tone is very relaxed, he is actually very worried in his heart. He has reached this point. Basically, his opponents have already figured out all the tricks clearly. The current Gonzaga Bulldogs actually rely on
Lu Yu's super offensive and defensive ability, Black's performance is unstable, he performs well when the game is going well, and no one can see when the game is not going well.
Although Casey Green is good, compared with the top centers in the NCAA, Casey seems a bit weak. Dan Dickau is much stronger than the two of them. He can be regarded as Lu Yu's best helper. His offensive ability is not bad.
, the defense... was a little too inferior.
Fortunately, in today's NCAA, especially at the point guard position, there are not many hard-hitting players.
As for the other substitutes, except for Mark Spink, there is no one else available at all.
Whether such a team can make it to the end, Mark Foyo doesn't know, but since it has entered the final four, he naturally wants to try his best to win the championship.
Gritting his teeth, he waved his hand: "Mark, you come in too, replacing Blake."
Mark Spink was stunned for a moment. He knew that he would rarely replace Blake at this time, but now that the coach would actually arrange for him to play, he was a little afraid to think about it.
He still obediently followed the coach's instructions and followed Lu Yu on the field.
Still a little excited.
For some reason, Boozer found out that after Lu Yu was replaced, he felt a little weak when he saw Lu Yu's calm and composed appearance, completely losing the arrogance of the arrogant roar just now.
Lu Yu passed the ball to Mark at the elbow. Encouraged by his eyes, Mark started to play behind the opponent's forward. Now Duke's small forward is Battier's substitute and is the weakest in Duke's rotation.
One ring.
Mark Spink makes a half-turn straight-arm shot.
Lu Yu started rushing in from outside the three-point line.
Kobe and McGrady in the stands laughed at the same time because they both saw what Lu Yu was going to do.
Mark Spink had just come on the court, and his hands were still very cold. There was a high probability that the ball would go out of the basket, and the arc was obviously a little bigger.
Sure enough, the basketball hit the back edge of the hoop and bounced high.
At this moment, a big hand grabbed the basketball that started to fall impartially, as if the ball should have fallen into his hands, and then pushed the ball into the basket.
The Duke players didn't react at all to the ball. Lu Yu dunked without anyone guarding him, 21:25.
Boozer shook his left shoulder, and with a feint of his body, he deceived the center of gravity of Casey Green, who was guarding him, and easily made the ball. 21:27
Lu Yu patted the captain on the shoulder: "Let me help you get revenge."
He gently tapped the basketball in his hand, Boozer, you are the offensive elite of this lineup. It will be difficult to win this game without knocking you down.
Aren't you an elite?
What I fight is the elite!
Lu Yu bent down, moved his left foot slightly forward, and pointed his toes on the ground, like a leopard ready to attack, but his eyes were not fixed on his defender, but on Boozer inside.
Casey Green comes up for the pick-and-roll.
Lu Yu faced Boozer's defense after being misplaced.
Boozer was hesitant. He knew that Lu Yu wanted to fight with a small force, but he had no choice. He was just wondering whether to let his teammates attack together. In the first half, Battier had been defending Lu Yu alone. Now Battier
Thiel is not on the court, so he has no confidence at all in guarding him alone.
Lu Yu smiled and said: "Why don't you come up? If you don't come up, I will vote?"
Boozer did not dare to move, and still lowered his center of gravity to prevent Lu Yu from breaking through, because what he fears most when playing small is breaking through, and he can still interfere with shooting with his height.
As a result, he suddenly discovered that Lu Yu had really voted.
Boozer was dumbfounded for a moment and had no reaction at all. He originally thought that even if Lu Yu chose to shoot, he would symbolically adjust his center of gravity before shooting, but Lu Yu made no other moves at all.
Behind him came the crisp sound of a basketball hitting the basket.
24:27
It was Duke's turn to attack, and the basketball was handed to Boozer according to the established tactics. Boozer turned over and prepared to put the ball on his shoulder and shoot.
Just when he put the ball on his shoulder, he suddenly felt a figure appear behind him.
There was a smile on Lu Yu's lips. His hand had already been placed on the basketball that Boozer had just thrown. Boozer thought to himself that it was over. When he looked back, he saw that Lu Yu had already grabbed the basketball that had been shot and launched it directly.
attack.
In fact, Lu Yu would definitely not be able to cover Boozer if the ball was played from the front, because Boozer always shoots over his shoulder, even slightly backward.
But with Lu Yu behind Boozer, how could he escape the fate of being blocked?
Duke's defender quickly returned to defense and retreated to the basket.
It's a pity that Lu Yu didn't intend to go for a layup. The layup only had two points. Lu Yu had to equalize or even overtake the score in the shortest time. Otherwise, when the old coach K reacts and replaces the main force, it may not be so good.
opportunity.
From outside the three-point line, Lu Yu shot steadily.
Whoosh!
Hit!
27 square meters.
Zhang Weiping sighed to the camera.
"In ancient times, there was Zhao Zilong who entered and exited seven times. Today, there is Lu Yu riding alone as the savior..."
