Chapter 12: Lin Sen, who is still undervalued

The 8:0 start was a bit confused. The University of Wisconsin often won big games before, but it did not play such a fierce score at the beginning. They usually play against each other and use their stronger offense to directly crush the opponent to death.

After finishing the first 10 minutes of the first half, Wisconsin has led Carolina Coast University by 16 points 21:5. Not only did they score 21 points with their strong offense, but they also played unprecedented defense. The purpose of the outside defense is very clear. If you hit a three-pointer with a dead end, you will never give the opponent any chance to take a three-pointer easily.

Similarly, the University of Wisconsin does not want to give the opponent a chance to score at the basket. Linson's franchise protection ability is definitely good in this level of game. He has made rapid progress. After gaining experience, he played his best defensive performance since entering the NCAA today. Carolina Coast University has no good chance to score at the basket.

If there is no three-pointer or under the basket, then the only chance they can give them is mid-range shots. Unfortunately, this is not the scoring method that Carolina Hai'an University is good at, which is why they only scored 5 points in the first 10 minutes of the first half.

"Sam and Frank performed very well. They completely turned this tournament into a battle of not the same level. They can be said to have completely played an NBA-level offense."

"Sam's talent is very good. Gordon Hayward will be his template. He has a quick first step, is good at breaking through, and can also play opponents shorter than himself in the inside. He has the ability to become a forward. Especially the defense, which was criticized, has also increased greatly. Now he is the kind of person who can contribute to the team on both offense and defense."

"Frank has a strong instant combat power. No matter which team in the NBA is now, he can plug and play. When he enters rotation, his biggest problem is his defense. Even if his offense is above the level of the NBA, he will be."

The scouts have a very detailed observation of the two protagonists, but Lin Sen, who has also added a draft report to ESPN, also entered their discussion because of his outstanding defense today.

"The defense of that Chinese center seems to be much stronger again? Is it my illusion or is it that he really made such rapid progress? If so, I feel I need to re-evaluate his talent."

"Hey, man, you feel right, it's just that it's very strong. His franchise protection is already available in the NBA, but he hasn't been tested yet. In all the games he has played, there is no player who has the chance to compete in the NBA. He needs more tests."

"And his offense is still a problem. He is completely out of the offense at the University of Wisconsin. In the NBA, if he is four or five, his defense must be at the elite level."

After this timeout, Hayes, the other player who was the only two in the main rotation at the University of Wisconsin, appeared again, and this appearance comparison instantly showed contrast.

In the previous month, his experience was much richer than Lin Sen. When he was against Marquette, it was obvious that Hayes' performance was indeed better than Lin Sen in the regular time stage, but he could not resist Lin Sen's cheating in the last moment to ensure his starting position. Now, his defense is no longer as deterrent as Lin Sen.

In the second half of the first half, Carolina Coast University, who played at home, began to slowly play its own rhythm. They continuously used pick-and-roll to break down Wisconsin's defensive system. Hayes had a qualitative gap with Linson in terms of movement, which means it was difficult for him to defend near the three-point line, which gave Carolina Coast University the opportunity to break through or three-point.

Amid the cheers of home fans, they fought back, and one thing was obvious that their shooting percentage had improved significantly, and the two consecutive three-pointers aroused the enthusiasm of home spectators. They were looking forward to the dark horse, miracle, and different results of the first No. 16 seed.

But the reality is that even if their offense is good, they have no way to stop Wisconsin's offense. Kaminsky made an NBA-level offense, hooking, step-back jump shot, open three-pointers, and a folding and erasing layup after shaking at the basket. This completely uses this game as the stage for his offensive performance.

Lin Sen's return in the second half further accelerated the game. After giving away a 21:5 in the first half, the starter of the University of Wisconsin once again gave an 17:6 in the second half, completely making the tournament into garbage time.

However, even tonight, Wisconsin scored the biggest score difference in the first round, winning 38 points with 85:47, and Linson supported the University of Wisconsin defense, but for those scouts, such performance was still not enough to satisfy them.

After this game, Lin Sen's improvement in the draft prediction rankings was very small. ESPN is still the media that is most optimistic about Lin Sen, but he only improved Lin Sen's ranking from the predicted 55th place to around 50th place. The lack of offensive ability is still Lin Sen's biggest problem, especially Lin Sen cannot do the running position after the pick-and-roll.

At the first time at the end of the game, he held the points of 20 wins and started to aim in the green offensive skills. It has to be said that green offensive skills are indeed not the skills of star players, but they also have two benefits.

One thing is that it is cheap, twenty wins, you can have it once you save it, but it is not as difficult as those honors. As long as you win, the winnings will automatically flow into the system.

Another point is the duration of the green skill. Olajuwon's black hole in the court is very good, but it only has 3 minutes in total. In a forty-minute game, he can only use it at critical moments. Not to mention the future NBA games, it will be 48 minutes. The head coach doesn't know that your skill is only 3 minutes. At this time, the offense that is not effective may be a disaster for the team.

The green skill lasts 8 minutes, and for a center, 8 minutes is almost the length of their time to play at one time. The center is undoubtedly the most physically consuming position. In the last game, Lin Sen played 10 minutes in a row, which was considered an overplay.
