The strongest bishop in the NBA

Chapter 35 Jeremy Lin VS Curry

Harvard University's next gram will eliminate Kansas State University, which ranks more than 20.

Davidson College is also on the next gram, eliminating seventh-ranked Gonzaga University.

However, in the same way, Davidson College is far stronger than Harvard University in terms of combat effectiveness on paper. After all, this is also a basketball team ranked tenth in the United States.

Even so, this game has attracted the attention of many people, even more than Memphis, Kansas and UCLA, which are favorites to win the championship.

The reason is very simple, many people want to see if Wang Xiao's undefeated record will end here. ,

Since Wang Xiao joined Harvard University last year, half a year has passed. Wang Xiao and his Harvard have maintained a record of unbeaten victories. Although they are in the Ivy League with a low average level, many people still feel incredible.

What made them even more incredible was that even in the NCAA tournament, Wang Xiao and his team continued to win.

Facing Kansas State University in the top 64, almost no one believed that Harvard could beat Kansas State University and Beasley. The result was that Harvard easily defeated Kansas State University by a large score, and Plaine, who has been unknown in the Harvard team, played a single defense all the way. Slee made his state completely absent, and he didn't even score 20 points in the game.

Therefore, many people want to know whether Harvard University can still maintain a record of winning against the stronger Davidson College in the top 32.

In this case, the game begins for both sides.

It was Davidson College that won the jump ball.

Harvard is used to this situation, because the tallest member of the Harvard team is Plain at 2 meters. Compared with many teams, Harvard's insiders have a huge disadvantage in terms of height.

However, Harvard is not afraid of those teams that mainly attack inside, because Wang Xiao specially designed a set of double-team tactics for this situation, and it is based on the premise of Jeremy Lin's ability to defend outside.

As long as it is not the kind of inside line with a particularly good pass vision, the ball will be intercepted in all likelihood.

Davis College does not have such a powerful center. They are similar to Harvard and also play the main perimeter. Their core is Stephen Curry, who is still a sophomore.

When Curry received the ball and advanced, Wang Xiao's solemn words seemed to still be in Jeremy Lin's ears.

"Curry's speed is not top-notch among defenders, but he is definitely not slow, and he is very good at using rhythm to break through. While defending him from shooting three-pointers, you have to be careful not to give him a chance to break through."

Standing down in front of Curry, Jeremy Lin stared at him.

Although his body was motionless, Curry suddenly felt a feeling of suffocation.

Instinct told him that the yellow-skinned guy in front of him was very strong and quite difficult to deal with.

Jason Kidd's defensive ability is probably second only to "The Glove" Gary Payton among point guards. He knows how to use his physical advantage to oppress opponents, and he has a strong defensive IQ.

Like Battier, Kidd is a defensive player with his brain.

This is also the key to his standing at No.2 in the historical steal list.

After using Kidd's growth template card, Jeremy Lin's defensive talent gradually moved closer to that of Kidd, especially after Wang Xiao used a lot of training skills to help Jeremy Lin practice this ability, Jeremy Lin's current defense is still not comparable to that of Kidd. The peak Kidd is on par, but even if he is immediately airdropped on the NBA arena, his defense is definitely the top among the point guards of the 30 NBA teams.

Wang Xiao believes that such a defensive ability should not be able to handle Curry in college.

The same is true.

Curry tried to drive, but couldn't find any opportunities, so he waved and called his teammates to pick and roll.

After using the pick-and-roll to separate from Jeremy Lin, Curry once again faced off against the relatively more defensive Harvard shooting guard.

Wang Xiao has also considered this situation. He has already explained to each player that if Curry picks and rolls and switches defenses, then there is only one task for the defensive players, whether to prevent shots or bursts.

Compared with Curry's breakthrough, what Wang Xiao is most afraid of is his three-point shooting that is as lethal as a nuclear bomb!

Sure enough, seeing that the defensive player was too close to him, Curry immediately chose to break through and rush inside.

However, his actions just happened to fall into the trap arranged by Wang Xiao.

Curry, who rushed into the penalty area, immediately saw a player approaching him. He knew this person, Plaine.

When studying the video of the game between Harvard and Kansas State University, it was this guy who defended Beasley all the way, making the latter have no shots and frequently hit the iron.

This guy's defensive ability is extremely strong, and it's the kind of defense that uses brains to think, not physical talent.

Curry was not sure whether his rhythm changes could deceive the opponent, and he immediately glanced at the teammates who were marking Plaine.

The latter immediately understood and silently followed.

Curry took off for a layup and stuck to Plaine who followed him to defend, then bent down and handed the basketball in his hand to the following teammate.

The latter immediately pulled up after receiving the basketball and prepared for a powerful dunk.

However, at this moment, a yellow-skinned hand protruded out like lightning, and ruthlessly cut the basketball in the player's hand.

All this was so overwhelming that Curry's teammates couldn't catch the basketball at all, and their hands were suddenly empty.

It's Jeremy Lin!

He didn't know when he appeared next to Curry's teammates, cut off the basketball in a flash, and the super basketball slammed forward.

On the other side of the front court, there were already Harvard players running forward, and the basketball fell into his hands with incomparable precision. At this time, other players from Davidson College were still far behind.

With an easy layup, Harvard University scored the first point of the game.

Seeing this situation, the coach of Davidson College couldn't help but sink in his heart.

While watching Harvard's game tape, he discovered a problem.

When Harvard University competed with other schools, there were a lot of steals. They could always interpret the game and block the basketball passing line when the opponent was passing and receiving the ball.

This is enough to prove that the opponent's defense is quite good. Both the coach and the players have a very high sense of smell or awareness in this regard.

In response to this, the coach of Davidson College also deliberately told the players not to transfer basketball in a large range as far as possible, and to use more hand-to-hand passes to reduce mistakes.

Curry did exactly that just now, but the basketball was still cut off.

And once Jeremy Lin holds the ball in the backcourt, the efficiency of the fast break with long-distance passing is astonishingly high. He can always accurately pass the basketball to the hands of the fast break player, and it spans the distance of half a court, with precision and strength. Still not guaranteed to be just right.

"This game...is not easy to play!"
