Chapter 43: The First Honor
"Jarel, I'm leaving this round to you! The best way to attack Lin is to cheat him of fouls. He has already fouled 4 times. If the offense is full and the overtime, we have a great chance of winning." Coach K's expression was serious. The current situation is indeed that Wisconsin has the dominance, but he does not think they will have no chance in this game. The premise is that they must play next time.
Although Okafor almost made no achievements on the offensive end in the second half, at this time, the one that Old Coach K believes most is Okafor. What they need now is to score stably in this round.
Duke's serving tactics are very complicated. They must create an opportunity for Okafor to be misaligned. The consecutive unball pick-and-rolls on the outside made Kaminsky unable to live in Okafor. Originally, the pick-and-roll defense was Kaminsky's weakness, and he was continuously picked-and-rolled. He could only watch Okafor helplessly go further and further, but Lin Sen stood up at this time.
He appeared in front of Okafor when he received the ball. This round should have created a chance to play a small defender, but Lin Sen had no problem. In the first half, Okafor punished Lin Sen very fiercely on the offensive end. This was not the most ideal match, but it was an acceptable match.
Okafor in the horn position began to slowly squeeze the space. The 35-second offensive time was enough for this position-type center. What he needed was to find Lin Sen's flaws and then hit it fatal.
Lin Sen's expression was serious and serious. He understood that his mission this time. Without the black hole in the court, his experience instantly returned to his freshman rookie.
At level, he had to curb his feet that were about to jump in front of every fake move of Okafor so that he could not let himself jump blindly and watch Okafor pass through him.
"It's not right! This guy's defense is different from the first half." Several consecutive fake moves did not shake Lin Sen. Even the 35-second offensive time was not much. Besides, they are behind 4 points now, so he must leave Duke with one offensive time.
Forced to break through from the right to open up the situation. At the last moment, Okafor completely gave up using fake moves and steps to seduce Lin Sen to be fooled. All he wanted was a direct and tough attack, kill to the position he was most familiar with, and use a throw-in to hit the board to solve the problem.
However, this time, Lin Sen, who had not activated any skills, was still like a god descending to earth on the defensive end. He chased him very tightly and did not give Okafu a chance to commit a foul. He let go of half of his body distance so that Okafu could not rely on Lin Sen's comfortable breakthrough.
The moment Okafor took action, Lin Sen jumped high and gave Okafor a big basketball dream hat that was so fucked. The moment the basketball was slapped into Decker's hand, the end of the game was basically announced.
"Lin! He protected the penalty area and protected the Wisconsin champion!" Before he knew it, O'Neal had been conquered by Lin Sen's performance on the defensive end. He had already begun to yell at this center that he was not optimistic about at the beginning.
Barkley was crazy about being glad that he did not fall into Kenny Smith's trap this time. At the same time, he also deeply felt the malice from Chinese players. From then on, he would definitely refuse to make any comments from this type of player group.
Duke's final foul sent Decker to the free throw line. Decker made two free throws directly to lock in the victory. Under Beau Ryan's "provoking trick", Decker and Linson have become the two most dazzling players in Wisconsin in the second half.
Duke missed a three-pointer with a desperate three-pointer. 78:72, Wisconsin won the final victory. At the first time at the end of the game, Decker rushed forward and jumped directly on Lin Sen's back, and knocked Lin Sen to the ground. As his teammates pressed up, even Kaminsky, the honest man, became one of the gangsters.
The first thing Lin Sen wanted to do when he climbed out of the bottom of this group of Arhats was to strengthen his strength. Why was he so easily knocked to the ground by Decker? However, he seemed to ignore that his playing time in this game once again occupied the top of the University of Wisconsin. He played for 33 minutes in 40 minutes, especially in the second half, various defense transfers and defense assisted the outside line almost cost him all his energy.
The old coach Bo Ryan completed the Nets' cuts surrounded by all the players. This old coach who has been playing in the NCAA for many years finally won his honor. The MOP of the semi-finals was in the hands of Lin Sen. He had 21 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks against Kentucky, and 24 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks against Wisconsin. In two games, 2010, the average of 22.5 points, 11 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 3 blocks per game.
Among Wisconsin's original dual-core, whether it was Decker or Kaminsky, they all performed poorly in one game. Perhaps Lin Sen did not have much offensive performance with the ball, but his strong defense and stable offensive end undoubtedly added a lot to him.
Looking at Lin Sen, who received the trophy on the podium, Bo Ryan suddenly felt a little grateful that he was taken to China by an old friend, which allowed him to gain this player and fought once when Wisconsin was the strongest. Maybe he is not the kind of player who can decide the game now, but he belongs to the kind of player who can change a team on a tactical level.
As Lin Sen obtained the MOP, even the unique Asian style in the audience allowed the camera to take care of it frequently. Asians obtained the MOP, which was the first time in the entire NCAA history.
Kaminsky did not complain about not giving him the best in the United States. In his opinion, this is natural. Without Lin Sen's participation, they would not have gone so far. He had almost completed the Grand Slam of the NCAA Awards today. Judging from the data and role, Lin Sen is indeed more worthy of this MOP!
"I like this guy even more! Seeing Old K's disappointment, he seemed to help us take revenge on those hard training days of the national team." James grinned. In the past, he regarded the national team games as a superstar on vacation. After Old K entered, he practiced hard on the defensive end.
Chapter completed!
