player channel.
Players came out one after another, and the entire arena was packed.
In fact, in Los Angeles, the fans who support the team are not much less than the Los Angeles duo of the Lakers and Clippers.
Even among young fans, they support NCAA teams more than NBA teams.
Blake Lively was wearing a blue V-shaped dress, holding blue cheering flowers in his hand, and saw Zhang Jun coming out of the player tunnel.
The cheerleaders cheered immediately.
John Thompson III, head coach of Georgetown University across the street, was not particularly emotional after seeing this scene.
After all, it is a famous NCAA school. They still maintain the championship record of the men's basketball program and reached the NCAA Finals last season, so it is not unusual to have such a fan atmosphere.
John Thompson III looked at Jeff Green and Patrick Ewing Jr. beside him and said: "The Bruins have lost three core players this season, and their strength has dropped significantly."
"But after all, it was the team that reached the NCAA Finals last season. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so don't underestimate them."
"Keep an eye out for their point guard Darren Collison and small forward Luke Richard Mbah a Moute."
"These two, one good at offense and the other good at defense, are the two strongest points in the Bruins team."
"As for their captain, Aaron Afflalo, his ability to attack, defend and pass is extremely balanced. He is also a good strength, but the strange thing is that he is sitting on the bench now."
This is the only place where John Thompson III is puzzled.
The NCAA does not have four quarters like the NBA, and the overall time is very long, so keeping an all-around player on the bench can often drive the offense of the entire bench.
For example, Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs.
The NCAA only played a total of 40 minutes, divided into two halves, 20 minutes in each half, with a 15-minute break in between.
With such a tight time, most teams often choose 7-man rotation or 8-man rotation during the game.
So John Thompson III couldn't understand why the Bruins kept Aaron Afflalo on the bench, and the replacement was a newcomer.
Jeff Green nodded with a gentle personality. His main opponent in this game is Luke Richard Mbah a Moute. It just so happens that he is good at attacking and Luke Richard Mbah a Moute is good at defense. , he would like to try.
Little Ewing has the same temperament as his dead ghost father. He looks tepid on the surface, but secretly he is ruthless. The children raised by the old Ewing, nicknamed New York Black B, will not be good people.
Game start.
Midfield serve.
Alfred Aboya jumped off the ball for the Bruins.
Darren Collison pushed forward with the ball, and Georgetown adopted a full-court pressing defense, which put a lot of defensive pressure on the opponent from the beginning.
Mbah a Moute responded very quickly in the middle.
The Bruins are experienced at dealing with this level of defensive intensity.
"Defend! Move for me!"
John Thompson III is the type of head coach who likes to yell and remind players from the sidelines.
Under his reminder, Georgetown University quickly settled down on the field to form a defense to shrink the inside line one step.
Jeff Green stared intently at Mbah a Moute, raised his right hand high to interfere with the opponent's projection, while his left hand kept trying to draw the ball back and forth and gave Mbah a Moute a great physical confrontation.
John Thompson III on the sidelines is very satisfied with this defensive performance, which is the defensive philosophy he coached the team.
No matter at any time, the opponent cannot easily handle the ball, and always forces the opponent to make mistakes.
"As long as Darren Collison and Mbah a Moute are defended, the Bruins' starting strength will be reduced by at least half, and there will be no surprises in winning them."
"Georgetown University will be the biggest dark horse in the NCAA this season!"
call!
Zhang Jun suddenly caught the ball from the baseline, which surprised all the Georgetown University players on the field.
"What is this rookie doing here? Catching the ball? Supporting him?"
No one would think that Zhang Jun will become the main attacking point of the Bruins, and John Thompson III off the court also thinks so.
Defending Zhang Jun is a shooting guard named Matthew Soriano. He is about 192cm tall and weighs about 90kg. There is a big gap between Zhang Jun and Zhang Jun in terms of body and weight.
Swish!
"What!"
"This speed is too fast!"
John Thompson III stood up in shock.
On the court, Matthew Soriano didn't even have a reaction, and Zhang Jun stepped into the penalty area with one step, and easily picked the basket and scored.
John Thompson III is very aware of the ability of his player Matthew Soriano, nicknamed the Georgetown University Little Cyclone. The test score of the 100-meter speed is 10.8 seconds, and it takes only 3.29 seconds to run a 3/4 standard basketball court , Take the ball for 3.62 seconds.
It's just such a fast defender who was passed by his opponent in one step!
"It must be an accident, it must be an accident!"
"Focus on defense, don't let a rookie pass you so easily."
Matthew Soriano patted his chest, indicating that the ball just now was his problem.
Switch offense.
Georgetown played a high-post handoff and a baseline wrap.
This is a tactic that most colleges will play, simply tearing down the defense for easy open scoring opportunities.
Although this tactic is not clever, it is a test of the defender's concentration and defensive anticipation. If you are not careful, your opponent will easily cut into the basket or bounce outside the three-point line to shoot a three-pointer.
Coach John Thompson III specially used this tactic on Zhang Jun. He didn't think a freshman who just entered the NCAA had such concentration and defensive prediction.
"Thank you Coach Alford, using newcomers is your biggest failure."
"No matter in terms of experience or tactical understanding, they are still far from the NCAA level."
Snapped!
When Zhang Jun circled the screen, he ran back ahead of time to block the passing route, and slapped the advancing basketball.
Although his defense has just reached the average level in Coach Alford's comments, the opponent once complained that Zhang Jun wasted this talent.
Zhang Jun's physical talent can fully support him to become an even better defender than Mbah a Moute.
But Alford is not worried about Zhang Jun's defensive problems on the court. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
"Although Zhang Jun is not good at defense, it doesn't mean he can't defend, especially in tactical defense. Zhang Jun is probably the one with the strongest defensive tactical ability in the Bruins team!"
After stealing the ball, Zhang Jun advanced quickly.
A group of people from Georgetown University chased and intercepted, but even Jeff Green, who was outside the three-point line at the beginning, was quickly left behind by Zhang Jun.
boom!
Zhang Jun gliding with one hand and smashing the buckle!
This buckle directly ignited the atmosphere in the Pauley Arena. The fans stood up and punched excitedly with smiles on their faces. They asked each other who the Bruins freshman was.
Until some fans who followed the NSAA game spoke up and said: "He is the fastest first step in NSAA California. He used to be a talented player from Canyon High School, Zhang Jun!"
Blake Lively cheered for Zhang Jun's dunk with his hands raised high, his eyes almost narrowed into a line.
"It turns out that he is so powerful."
next round.
The Bruins also played a corner-covering tactic, but their tactical purpose was very strong. It was not to disintegrate Georgetown University’s defensive position so that every player could get an offensive opportunity, but just for Zhang Jun to get Offensive opportunity!
Zhang Jun raised the screen to catch the ball, and it was still Matthew Soriano who defended him.
This time Matthew Soriano was very smart. He knew that Zhang Jun was a breakthrough master, so he chose to take two steps back to defend.
Swish!
Zhang Jun's photos are correct!
Even at a distance of two steps, he easily passed the opponent in just one step.
"Another layup!"
"Zhang Jun of the Bruins, scored 6 points in a row!"
