Chapter 37: Counterattack

It is unrealistic to want to completely prevent a future mvp player, let alone Curry, even if Wang Xiao let Plaine target Beasley in the last game, the latter still scored two double figures, Beasley is in nba hasn't played the ball for several seasons and it is still the case, not to mention Curry?
Although Beasley is now much more famous than Curry, it is still the top pick this year, but in Wang Xiao's heart, even Curry who has not yet grown up should be more threatening than Beasley.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously not a perfect tactic to guard against death. He must consider what to do once Curry feels hot and cannot stop it.
The answer is counterattack.
Since I can't stop you, let's fight a war offensive!
Wang Xiao's team is not a team that is good at attacking. From the moment of drawing to the growth cards of Kidd and Battier, he positioned the tone of the entire team as a strong defensive team.
But this does not mean that Harvard's offense is a weakness.
Admittedly, apart from Jeremy Lin, Harvard players have few points to attack with the ball, but Jeremy Lin alone is enough!
Kidd growth template card is not for watching and playing! This second legend in the history assists ranking is definitely a master figure in controlling the rhythm.
Jeremy Lin is certainly far from reaching the peak of Kidd's level, but using the pass to speed up the team can not help him.
Picking up rebounds and passing the teammates for a fast break is Kidd's special skill, and the one-handed shoulder ball is even more brilliant and accurate.
How can Wang Xiao not exercise Jeremy Lin's abilities in daily training?
In the Ivy League, Harvard's most commonly used scoring method is defensive counterattack.
Whether it's stealing and blocking opponents and then fast-breaking, or getting a quick backboard with a rebound, with Jeremy Lin's pass, Harvard's players can always take the opponent's defensive player closer to the basket.
However, this kind of fast attack is also accompanied by certain risks. Once the fast attack fails, it is intercepted or defended by the opponent. If the opponent immediately returns a fast attack, the team has not returned to their respective positions. Nor can it be launched. After all, Harvard's players are not all defensive fighters. Without Jeremy Lin and Plaine's positional defense, other players still have a certain gap compared to ncaa's other leagues.
...
Curry's feel gradually became hot in the resolute shooting, but the difference between Davidson College and Harvard University was not shortened but pulled apart!
Every fast break at Harvard made Davidson College rushed. They tried to cut off Jeremy Lin’s pass, but it turned out to be useless. Although almost half the distance away, Jeremy Lin Always find the right place for teammates to catch the ball.
In desperation, Davidson College can only stare at those Harvard players who are ready to go down at any time.
However, there are very few players who can assist Curry on the offensive end. In many cases, Curry can only face Jeremy Lin's defense alone.
Throughout the first half, this game was like a contest between two people.
Harvard University scored 42 points in the first half, while Davidson College scored 27 points. The two sides maintained a close of 15 points. As the team’s main point of attack, Curry of Davidson College hit 4 three-pointers in the first half. Ball, Davidson College scored 27 points, Curry alone scored 19 points.
The powerful firepower of Curry surprised both the scouts and the media reporters watching. They can see how much Jeremy Lin has done to Curry's strict defense. In this case, Curry can score 19 points. They have to reassess this weak guy.

But what surprised them even more was the performance of Jeremy Lin at Harvard University.
Jeremy Lin scored lower than Curry in the half, but even so, he scored 12 points. Correspondingly, he sent 7 assists in the half and made 0 mistakes!
ncaa and nba are different, not only the whole game time is 8 minutes less than nba, the time per round is also longer than nba.
Each round of nba is 24 seconds, ncaa is 35 seconds per round, 11 seconds more than nba.
This rule also makes ncaa's rhythm much slower than nba. The average point guard has 7-8 assists in the game and is already a very good passer, but Jeremy Lin sent 7 times in the half. Assists, and not even one turnover, is a bit too exaggerated.
In the game just now, they all looked at the eyes. Most of the assists sent by Jeremy Lin were long-distance fast-break passes. From the back court, they directly crossed half the court to the front court. The possibility of mistakes and steals is extremely high. But Jeremy Lin maintained an amazing success rate, which made them unable to rethink Jeremy Lin's passing ability.
After returning in the second half, Davidson College once again launched a violent attack under the leadership of Curry, and Jeremy Lin took the Harvard players to guard against the dead guard and guarded the 15-point lead.
Curry continued to hit three-pointers, and the score was brought closer and closer, and even once the gap was reduced to less than 10 points.
However, Jeremy Lin was also unwilling to show his weakness. He continued to break through Curry's defense and caused huge damage to the inside. At the same time, he even made two three-pointers outside.
The 20-minute game was fleeting. When the whistle at the end of the match rang, the score of the two sides was fixed at 87:76.
Harvard won the game by 11 points.
Jeremy Lin scored 27 points, 12 assists and 6 steals. Curry, who played against him, scored 42 points and made 8 of 17 three-pointers.
The two staged an offensive feast in different ways.
After the game, Jeremy Lin looked at Curry and said to Wang Xiao from the bottom of his heart.
"Coach, this guy does what you said...it's hard to get around."
For defense, Jeremy Lin has always been very confident, even if Plaine is not as good as him in defense.
But in the face of his strict defense, this very thin guy actually scored 42 points! And he scored 8 threes with a 47% shooting rate! This shooting percentage is higher than the shooting percentage of many guards.
"This time, you won." Wang Xiao said with a smile: "But don't be complacent, you will soon meet again in NBA, do not want to lose to him and work hard."
Harvard University's upset victory over Davidson College shocked the media once again.
No one can think of it. The United States ranks tenth, and Davidson College, which defeated the seventh college in the top 64, will actually lose to a team from the Ivy League!
Tenth to forty-seventh, this should have been a game without suspense!
Many people couldn't help but think of what Wang Xiao said in an interview with reporters not long ago.
"Harvard University's strength is far more than the 47th in the United States. We have to be ranked in the top ten in the country."
