I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 67 Duke K, Boundless Powers!

To beat Marquette, you have to beat Boy Wonder.

Quin Schneider, the head coach of the University of Missouri, had a hard time seeing these things as something he hadn't seen after UCLA had shown every NCAA team the right way to beat Marquette.

After the last game between Marquette University and UCLA, why did Marquette University's probability of winning the championship drop sharply?

It is because this team has huge flaws that can be seen at a glance.

Apart from Chen Xiao, Wade didn't have a reliable and consistent offensive point around him.

As for Chen Xiao, facing a dedicated defender, his offense would be greatly restricted.

Before, Chen Xiao also had a dedicated defender, but they were not the best defensive players on each team.

When other NCAA teams met Marquette before, the best defensive players were of course in front of Wade and Ron Howard.

The defensive players around Chen Xiao are ordinary defensive players.

This directly led to Wade and Ron Howard being unable to defend, and Chen Xiao also being unable to defend. In the end, they could only watch Marquette University take off.

And UCLA took a different approach to put the best defensive player Matt Barnes in front of Chen Xiao, and made Chen Xiao the first defensive target of Marquette University.

The effect is simply outstanding!

This is something most professionals can see, and Quin Schneider certainly can.

After all, he is not an ordinary NCAA head coach, his background is very, very special.

The 35-year-old was born at Duke University and is a direct disciple of Coach K, the current No. 1 coach of the NCAA.

Quinn Schneider was a player who played under Coach K for four years at Duke University. After graduation, because his development as a player was not very smooth, he finally changed his job as a coach and followed Coach K to coach K for six years. assistant coach.

He wasn't poached from Coach K by the University of Missouri until two years ago.

It can be said that his body is full of traces of Coach K.

In fact, his relationship with Coach K is indeed very good.

When he was a Duke University player, he was Coach K's favorite.

When he was at Duke University, he and his brother Billy King were called the two bricks held by Coach K in his left and right hands.

He and Billy King are not as strong as the main star players such as Johnny Dawkins and Danny Ferry.

But they are very obedient, whether coach K asked them to play as the main force or as a substitute, they will work hard without complaint, without any dissatisfaction, and they are extremely active every time on the court.

In addition, although their strength is not that strong, they are not weak either.

It's hard for a head coach not to like such a player.

Coach K naturally likes it too.

Although the status of Duke University players is noble, there are also many students who graduate from Duke University every year.

Coach K is not everyone who is willing to stay with him and give him the status of an "assistant coach".

Coach K's assistant coach is in the NCAA, which is almost equivalent to "a Jinshi background".

Both he and Billy King are direct disciples that Coach K relies heavily on.

He eventually embarked on the road of basketball coaching.

And Billy King eventually went the way of a professional manager.

Billy King, who was the same age as him, grew up against the sky against the big tree of Coach K. He became the general manager of the 76ers at the age of 32.

Last year, at the age of 34, he led the 76ers to the finals, and this year, Billy King took the title of "League's No. 1 GM" and "Powered Jerry West" in the United States. Became the president of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Like Jerry West back then, Billy King now has complete control over the fate of a team, and has taken the most solid step towards becoming the No. 1 GM in the NBA in the future.

As for him, although he does not have his senior brother Billy King, he is now the head coach of an NCAA team at the age of 35.

And leading the team to the top 16 of the NCAA National Championships, he is also on the right path and is rising.

And compared to the achievements of his senior brother, Quinn Schneider felt that he was luckier.

He coaches in the NCAA and can accept the teachings of his mentor Coach K at any time.

And Coach K has indeed been paying attention to him. For example, in this game between them and Marquette University, Coach K's attention and guidance to him and the University of Missouri are all-round.

Therefore, although he is not walking as fast as his senior brother, he is also marching towards his dream, the successor of Coach K, the future No. 1 head coach of the NCAA, and the future No. 1 head coach of the United States.

And if he wants to become such a coach in the future, he still has a long way to go.

He needs to overcome many, many hurdles along the way.

And this season's Marquette University, perhaps the most important hurdle, is the 0 to 1 hurdle!

"Quinn, as long as you can lead the team to defeat Marquette University in this game, you can become a famous NCAA coach."

This is what Coach K said to him after teaching him how to beat Marquette University yesterday.

He takes it for granted!

With the current aura of Marquette University, this team is really a 'big monster'.

And it's still a'big monster' who is close to residual blood.

"As long as I can pick it up, I can widen the gap with most ordinary head coaches in the NCAA and join the ranks of a higher level!"

"Guys, don't let me down!"

"We want to surprise the whole world in this game!"

For a 35-year-old head coach, it is really difficult to ask this head coach to be able to keep calm in the face of the pie in the sky.

There is actually no difference between a 35-year-old coach and a 18-year-old player when facing this kind of thing.

Because on the court, the Missouri Tigers Karim Rush, Clarence Gilbert, and Rich Poulding are almost in the same mood as their head coach.

The eyes of the Missouri Tigers towards Chen Xiao and the Marquette University players seemed to be shining.

"Will the University of Missouri game surprise the world?"

"meeting!"

Jay Williams said with a smile.

Missouri has what it takes to beat everything at Marquette.

Excellent offense, excellent defense, fast rotation, and more importantly, positions 1 to 3 are very strong and can match Marquette University.

What's more, their software has also been upgraded.

Jay Williams knew that Coach K also made a shot.

"Actually, I really want to end them with my own hands."

Boozer said with some regret.

"Are they qualified to stand before us?"

Facing the proud eyes of Jay Williams, Boozer didn't dare to speak, and smiled silly.

snort!

Are these guys worthy of standing in front of me?

Climb there and watch me be crowned!

If it weren't for these guys, would the NCAA No. 1 man be controversial this season?

The No. 1 pick in 2002 is still in suspense?

"These guys stole too many things that didn't belong to them!"

From Garnett in the NBA, to Jay Williams and Duke in the NCAA.

The game at Marquette University still attracted the attention of a large number of professionals.

Although Chen Xiao didn't know that Garnett and Jay Williams were paying attention to them at this time.

But I also know that there must be no mistakes in this game.

"This is once again our announcement to the world that we are here this season for the NCAA championship game!"

"We are still strong!"

This is the slogan that Wade yelled when Chen Xiao and Marquette players came on the court.

This is the first time Wade shouted the slogan of the championship before the game.

Did not shout when the team was full of glory.

Shout out when the team is in trouble.

Chen Xiao felt that Wade should have paid a lot of attention to this.

Because after shouting, he could clearly feel that the team was inspired.

"I have to say that Xiaotai is really a good leader."

In the center circle, University of Missouri center Arthur Johnson and Marquette center Blakeson jump the ball.

Johnson is 3 cm taller than Braxon, but Braxon's bounce and speed are higher than Johnson's.

This is not a close contest.

Braxon won easily.

After Marquette won the first wave of the game, the SAP Center fans gave the first wave of cheers.

"I don't know if the magical boy will bring a different kind of magic in this game!"

"The Missouri Tigers are so strong, maybe the strongest NCAA perimeter combination. You say, as a beginner, how much iron will the Magic Boy hit in this game? Is it possible to exceed 20?"

At this time, the fans, audience, and reporters at the scene were very excited.

However, compared with the excitement of the fans and spectators, the professionals on the sidelines of the court are very calm and serious.

They are different from the fans and spectators. Although they also watch the game, what they watch is the essence, not the good or bad statistics that are superficial.

"The strength of the Missouri Tigers in the past two games is not only their offense. Rich Poulding and Kareem Rush have shot over 40% in the past few seasons in the NCAA three-pointers. Jill In the past few seasons, Burt has averaged more than 3 three-pointers per game. These offenses are very conspicuous. Like Gilbert, everyone just noticed his 23 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists in the last game , was called 'Agent Zero', but no one noticed that he got 4 steals in the last game."

"The Missouri Tigers are very hot now, very hot, but they are still underestimated. They are not only good offensively, but also very good defensively. Pauldin and Rush averaged more than 1.5 steals per game this season. .”

"If it weren't for the March Madness that suddenly erupted at the University of Missouri, we would have overlooked three very good players who are eligible to enter the NBA."

"That's right, the Missouri Tigers, Jermaine Dillman, Steve Logan, etc. are destined not to enter the NBA. The players who can only be short-lived in the NCAA are different. They not only have strength, but also have higher pursuit. talent."

"So, in this match, is it the three eagles breaking through the wind resistance and soaring into the sky, or the three tigers taking advantage of the situation and roaring in the mountains?"

"I think, in this game, Wonder Boy and Marquette University are very dangerous!"

It can be seen from the evaluations of scouts and professionals on the sidelines that they are very optimistic about the University of Missouri.

In the eyes of these NBA professionals, this team is not a pure "net celebrity team".

On the court, Chen Xiao, who was playing, still didn't know the situation on the sidelines.

And he didn't have the time to take care of these things.

Because now, as soon as he and his team started, they encountered difficulties.

He encountered the same defense as the last game against UCLA.

This is not surprising.

After the game started, the University of Missouri used Kareem Rush, the leader of the three tigers, to stick to him all the way, just like Matt Barnes did in the last game.

Karim Rush was shorter than Matt Barnes and a little taller than Chen Xiao who was wearing shoes.

Chen Xiao now wears shoes that are more than 1.95 meters and less than 1.96 meters, and Rush, by visual inspection, should be 1.98 meters.

He is taller than Chen Xiao, and his wingspan is longer than Chen Xiao's, and his speed, explosiveness and other athletic abilities are not weak at all.

There is no doubt that for Chen Xiao, Karim Rush is indeed a very difficult defensive player.

This is the unsurprising part.

What about the unexpected part?

That is, Kareem Rush is not the only player defending him!

Don't get me wrong, he wasn't double-teamed and isn't eligible to be double-teamed now.

He was unrestricted by the University of Missouri!

No matter how he runs, how he gets rid of, all the defensive players nearby are chasing him and sticking to him!

"Now I can't catch the ball!"

Chen Xiao is still working hard on the court, and the defensive player around him has been replaced by Rush, a power forward from the University of Missouri, LaVon Bryant.

A big man of 2 meters 05.

He is like a chicken, covered by the eagle of LaVon Bryant.

Counting, the University of Missouri is also a team with a small lineup.

Three guards with two insiders who are not tall.

Therefore, no matter how hard Chen Xiao ran, even if he managed to get rid of Rush in the end, other defensive players could switch to him, and the defensive players who switched in front of him were taller than Chen Ling, and they were very defensive. not bad.

The five starting players of the University of Missouri, except for Agent Zero Gilbert, the other four are 1.96 meters, 1.98 meters, 2.04 meters, and 2.05 meters.

They are all above Chen Xiao.

As long as Gilbert didn't switch to Chen Xiao's side.

Chen Xiao has to face the tight defense of defensive players who are taller, stronger than him, and have good defense.

With Chen Xiao's ability to pass and catch the ball, it was difficult for Wade to find a chance to pass the ball to Chen Xiao.

"This defense..."

In front of the TV, Garnett, who hoped that Chen Xiao could rise strongly in this game, seemed to see a trapped beast, a struggling 'little wolf cub' trapped in an iron cage.

Very worrying.

Most of the NCAA university teams are zone defenses when defending.

The University of Missouri is no exception, almost all defensive players are standing inside the three-point line.

If a team really doesn't care about offensive players outside the three-point line, but strangles a player who has been moving in the middle distance, it can make this player have no offensive space at all.

That's what Missouri's defense is doing right now.

"It is said that Wonder Boy is 'little Ray Allen'. Now you can see that he is different from me? Although his running position is good, he has no threat of three-pointers, so he can only run in fixed areas, which is great. Defended."

"It is indeed the case, but it is not easy to be keenly aware of and utilize this. The head coach of the University of Missouri is very unusual!"

The game started, and the situation on the court quickly aroused the amazement of professionals on the scene and in front of the TV.

In this game, the defensive treatment Chen Xiao faced was simply amazing.

"Bryant, this is the defensive treatment you enjoy in the NBA!"

After Fisher finished speaking, Kobe nodded.

The defense around the magical boy is indeed too strong.

The three guards of the University of Missouri are refreshing, and the head coach of the University of Missouri also gives people a feeling of getting to know each other again.

"It's only 35 years old, but it actually gives me a feeling of Phil's cunning and cunning."

This game is not good for Fantastic Boy, if this game is also bad...

I am afraid that this interesting kid will not be seen in the NBA in the future.

Because of the last game against UCLA, many people thought that Chen Xiao would continue to be targeted in this game, but no one would have thought that Missouri would be targeted like this.

Not even Marquette itself thought of it.

Especially Wade, who wanted to play for Chen Xiao in this game, now his face was so dark.

This kind of zone defense that completely let go of the three-point line and focused on Chen Xiao alone made his current mentality collapse.

"This is to make Chen die!"

Wade was constantly looking for opportunities to pass the ball to Chen Xiao, but he couldn't find any.

The 35 seconds are almost up.

In the end, he could only throw the ball to Dina who was standing there outside the three-point line.

Dina is under a lot of pressure right now!

Judging from the way the University of Missouri defends, he is the key to Marquette's breakout.

Faced with Gilbert's symbolic pounce, Dina gritted his teeth and threw the basketball in his hand.

Swipe!

A three-pointer hit, 3 to 0, Marquette University took the lead in scoring.

Diana was very excited after scoring.

"Boss, I have no mercy!"

The Marquette players on the field were equally excited.

On the sidelines, Marquette University head coach Tom Kline was still frowning at this time.

Because that 3-pointer didn't change Missouri's defense.

The University of Missouri took advantage of Gilbert's three-pointer against Diener to quickly tie the score at 3-3.

Afterwards, their defense against Chen Xiao did not change at all.

Wade and Ron Howard still couldn't find a chance to pass the ball to Chen Xiao.

Regardless of whether Diner made it or not in the next game, the white man sitting in the coaching bench of the University of Missouri remained motionless with a smile on his face, giving people a very inscrutable feeling.

"Quinn, don't worry, although Diener is one of the best shooters in the NCAA with a high three-point shooting rate, he is not the same as Jay Williams, he can't make 11 three-pointers in a game. "

Behind me, the spirit of the teacher is by my side!

Old Duke K, the power is boundless!

Don't panic!

Smile!
