Chapter Sixteen Show Team

  The game started with Duncan's attack, and Georgia Tech would definitely use Harpring to defend Carter. Although Carter has strong personal attacking ability, in the triangular offense system, the ball will eventually be passed to the player with the strongest singles ability on the team to solve the battle or assist teammates in battle, just like Jordan of the Bulls now. However, in this game, Zhuang Fei did not plan to let Carter single-handedly defend against Harpring, and Carter would take on more organizational tasks instead.

  The Georgia Tech perimeter is strong, but the interior is weak. However, this does not mean that VCU's perimeter will be worse than theirs. Lagarille will defend Drubear, who is a physical scorer with average athleticism, while Lagarille is a defender like cowhide. Drubear's ball-handling attack is general, which means he has difficulty actively seeking out blocks. Therefore, Zhu Fei is not worried that Lagarille will lose his defensive position.

  Vince Carter defends Haplin, and the two are evenly matched in terms of strength. Although Carter's defense is average, it will be difficult for Haplin to easily break through Carter's defense. As for Marbury, Zhu Fei only has one strategy: to give him space to attack. However, with Duncan on the inside, VCU will reduce Marbury's attacking efficiency to its lowest level. VCU's restricted area is not a paper tiger; the NCAA's number one defender is under the basket.

  The biggest advantage of the triangle offense is not its beauty, but its flexibility and variability. As long as a triangular formation is formed on the court, there are countless changes in the game. Duncan stands under the basket, Carter holds the ball at high position, quickly passes it to Szczybiak on the side, then goes to the bottom corner of the other side, taking away the defender, Szczybiak passes the ball to Duncan under the basket and comes to the bottom corner, at this time Lagabrielle fills in the previous position of Szczybiak, forming a triangle with Duncan-Lagabrielle-Szczybiak, and on the other side are Green and Carter.

  Duncan received the ball, and the defender was in trouble. The five players of Vicksburg were quite open, and the defensive team's help defense and pincer movement meant that someone would be left unguarded, which is another advantage of the triangle offense - a lot of space, making it difficult for the defense to cover. Duncan took two steps back under the basket, then made a small hook shot off the board.

  After an easy layup, Duncan wasn't that excited, such opponents really can't excite him. However, Zhuang Fei on the sidelines was constantly applauding for him, Duncan is the team's most stable player, Zhuang Fei trusts him too much, as long as he assigns tasks, he must complete them, and in NCAA, who else has 88 ability besides Duncan?

  Just five minutes into the game, Wake Forest and Georgia Tech were separated by a score of 15-6. The Yellow Jackets trailed by nine points after just five minutes of play. In those fifteen points for Wake Forest, Duncan scored only four points, Szczepanik made two three-pointers, Carter had one dunk, and LaGarde hit one three-pointer. After Duncan's opening basket, Georgia Tech quickly adjusted to double-team him. But the direct result was that Wake Forest's supporting cast stepped up their game. They were not without offensive capabilities.

  Watching the players of Vicksburg High School on the court, Bobby Cremins, the head coach of Georgia Tech, was sweating bullets on the sidelines. Especially when Szczepanik hit a three-pointer, if Duncan and Carter played well he wasn't surprised, these two were star players after all. But when role players like Lagarde and Szczepanik also showed such strength, he quickly felt that things weren't going to go smoothly.

  “Damn, how did VCU win by over 20 points?” Bobby Cremins cursed in his heart. He had underestimated the strength of VCU, thinking that they were just a one-man team with Duncan and Carter being all hype. He didn't think much of them, but what he didn't realize was that VCU's loss to UGA was largely due to it being their first game of the season, and their cohesion was too low at that time. Additionally, UGA and Georgia Tech were two teams with different styles, and UGA had a player like Travis who could single-handedly guard Duncan, but did Georgia Tech have such a player? UGA's defense was also more aggressive in pressuring the ball handler, which was not the case for Georgia Tech. Moreover, UGA's Alen had a more reasonable playing style compared to Marbury, and VCU feared players like Alen who were strong in three-point shooting. Didn't Lagabere get blown out by Alen?

  Like Bobby Cremins, the two commentators in the media seats were also shocked. Before the game, they said that Vicks was not good enough, but less than five minutes later, they were proven wrong.

  "Ricky, Vicks is looking good today, feeling great, Georgia Tech's Marbury not so much," said the CBS commentator, wiping sweat from his brow.

  "Yes, Vicksen's touch is good, but it's hard to maintain, although they're leading now, it's not necessarily the case later on. Marbury is too sticky with the ball, and neither Dru nor Harpring have any chance of getting the ball. Marbury should learn to play more selflessly." Barry is somewhat dissatisfied with Marbury, this being his youngest son's last year in college, urgently needing data to improve draft picks, but Marbury is very uncooperative, always playing alone.

  "Zhuang, Lagabiel played well in this game, made a lot of decisive shots from open positions and also did a great job on defense against Xiao Ba. Lagabiel hit another three-pointer from an open position, and the start of this game was simply incredible for Vickson Lin, Mark Allen couldn't help but praise."

  Mark Allen was not quite impressed with Lyu Haotian before, but seeing the start of this game, he couldn't find any flaws at all. The progress is too great, and he also admired Zhuang's use of people.

  The game was controlled by Vicksen from the beginning, although Georgia Tech was not weak, especially Marbury's breakthrough was very strong, it can be said that no one could stop him on the outside line, but Zhuang Fei didn't want to stop him at all, just let him break through and then let him go inside to single-handedly fight with Duncan.

  This led to many mistakes by Marbury, and a lot of counterattacks by Vickson. Carter's speed was fully displayed in this game, Duncan capped, Carter countered with a dunk.

  When Marbury was covered by Duncan again, Carter completed a dunk once more and the whole stadium went wild.

  "My god, is that Vince Carter? So beautiful, his dunk action is so smooth, I've never seen such a beautiful dunk, not even Michael's." A fan in the stands said with his mouth agape.

  "He was the number one shooting guard in high school and now he's the number one in NCAA." Another fan put another number one hat on Carter.

  This game was played very spectacularly by Vicksen Forest, with a three-pointer from Szebiak and a dunk from Carter in the counter-attack, all of which can directly ignite the atmosphere of the fans.

  Don't forget this is a national live broadcast, and TV viewers are no less enthusiastic than those in the stadium.

  When the first quarter ended, all fans did not realize that the score on the field had become 64 to 30. They were admiring one beautiful shot after another by Vicksen and forgot to watch the score. When the first quarter ended, they turned back to look at the score and were amazed again.

  What surprised fans most was that the players of Vicksen Lin had no big score lead excitement on their faces when they returned to the substitute bench, looking very calm.

  "Rik, do you have anything to say? This is the most beautiful NCAA game I've ever commentated on, Villanova is too great, I'm already conquered by them. I declare to all American fans that from now on, I am a fan of Villanova University!" The commentator excitedly shouted towards Rik Barri.

  Rick Barry was extremely embarrassed, his son's team was about to lose the game, and he couldn't be happy no matter what, but in this situation, it wasn't suitable for him to make an unhappy expression. Now he really regretted coming here to commentate on this game. Damn Vicksburg, damn Contra Costa, Barry cursed in his heart, not even sparing Contra Costa.

  "I really didn't expect Vicksburg's strength to be so strong, let alone Duncan. If he goes to the draft next year, he'll definitely be the number one pick. No, I should say that whenever he goes to the draft, he'll be the number one pick. Carter's dunk was beautiful, but his passing is also great, with a good field of vision, which is not often seen in the NBA. He reminds me of Scottie Pippen, who has this talent. Ziaire Williams' three-point shot was the most surprising to me, even in the NBA, there aren't many players better than him at three-pointers. Plus, with James Posey coming off the bench, I couldn't imagine an NCAA team having so many incredibly talented players. This game is a loss for Georgia Tech." Rick Barry's comment is still fair, despite being unhappy.

  "So, Rick, can you describe this Wicksen forest in one word?"

  Rick Barry thought for a moment and slowly said a word: "Showtime"

  "Show team?" The commentator was taken aback, then exclaimed with excitement: "I love this phrase! From now on, Vicksen Forest will be show team, the most perfect performance, the most perfect team!"

  At this time, I don't know how many football fans in front of the TV were attracted by this word "showteam".
