From the beginning, Harvard took control of the game.

This is the consistent style of Wang Xiao's team. In the Ivy League, the Harvard team will use suffocating defense to press its opponents, thereby gaining an advantage from the beginning.

The same was true in the last round of 64 against Kansas State University, and today is no exception.

Harvard's pressing defense made everyone at Davidson College, including Curry, very uncomfortable.

Wang Xiao's defensive tactics were born out of the NBA. With the vigorous training of the training system, his players' defensive abilities are already quite good. In addition, Prene on the inside and Jeremy Lin on the outside are like two sea-dwelling gods.

, making Harvard's overall defensive tactics self-contained. Without a particularly sharp knife, it is absolutely impossible to easily tear apart such a defense.

Five minutes into the game, the Davidson College coach called a timeout.

At this time, the score between the two sides was 14:5. In the full 5 minutes, Davidson College only scored 5 points, averaging 1 point per minute.

This is an offense-oriented Davidson College, and the entire team is a team that is good at shooting and scoring!

During the timeout, the head coach of Davidson College held the tactical board, looked at his players, opened his mouth but could not give any tactical suggestions.

Harvard's tactics are actually very simple, just 1-on-1 individual defense, supplemented by tacit help defense when defending the pick-and-roll.

No matter what kind of tactics are deployed, as long as you can't escape the circle of 1 vs 1 single defense, it will be impossible to mention.

Davidson College has several sets of off-ball running tactics specifically designed for Curry, but Wang Xiao and Jack have already studied the game videos of Davidson College and designed targeted defensive strategies.

So Curry tried several runs just now, but all failed.

Looking at several of his players with blank eyes, the head coach of Davidson College hesitated for a few tenths of a second, and then he looked at Curry seriously.

"Stephen, the situation is very unfavorable to us now. You should be able to see that the opponent has made special arrangements for us, and the running tactics we practiced before should be useless."

Curry nodded and panted slightly. The matchup with Jeremy Lin put him under a lot of pressure. The opponent was not only faster than him, but also stronger than him. The opponent's defensive experience was also quite sophisticated and they didn't want to take advantage of his poor rhythm.

ball.

"What do we do, Coach?"

"The opponent's intention is obvious, they want to use 1v1 to restrict you." The head coach of Davidson College took a deep breath. "So, there is only one way to break this shackles... You defeat the opponent in 1v1

point guard!"

"Only when the opponent cannot use single defense to defend you, then you can break the opponent's defense and get more scoring opportunities! Stephen, you need to defeat that kid!"

…

"How about it?"

On the other side, Wang Xiao asked Jeremy Lin.

Jeremy Lin nodded vigorously, "Coach, that guy is really difficult to deal with. He is the most difficult opponent I have ever encountered."

"Is this difficult? I'm afraid you won't say that when you meet Rose and Westbrook."

Wang Xiao couldn't help laughing.

Curry's threat comes from three-pointers. As long as his three-pointers are locked, even if he is allowed to break into the paint, the damage will be very limited.

But Rose and Westbrook are different. These two are truly masters of breakthroughs.

Although Jeremy Lin's speed is not slow, he is still slightly slower than these two people.

More importantly, defensive players have the disadvantage of being late-minded compared to offensive players. Many times, even if you know where the opponent is going to break through, you don't have time to stop the opponent.

Jeremy Lin can guard Curry to death, but he can't guard those two people... What's more, Curry is not so easy to guard!

As the greatest three-point shooter in the future, there is nothing he can do if he is tightly guarded. How can he still make a terrifying more than 400 three-pointers in a season?

"You have to be careful. The next guy will definitely find a way to launch a fierce attack. You may not be able to block it." Wang Xiao thought for a while and then said: "If you find that you really can't stop the opponent's touch, you can

…”

After the timeout, the two sides returned to play. Jeremy Lin was surprised to find that Curry immediately launched a fierce attack on him.

After a quick dribble move from the perimeter, Curry immediately stepped back and shot the ball one step away from the three-point line.

Jeremy Lin was shocked and immediately rushed forward to try to block the shot.

But Curry's shot was so fast that Jeremy Lin found that he couldn't keep up with the shot!

This was the first time he faced Curry and the opponent shot a three-pointer. He didn't expect the opponent's shot to be so fast!

"box!!"

The basketball arced across the sky and then hit the basket hard.

Although Jeremy Lin's block was not successful, it obviously disturbed Curry.

A failed shot did not deter Curry, and he soon did it again.

This time, he took advantage of his teammates' pick-and-roll and shot directly behind his teammates. This time, it was also one step away from the three-point line.

"box!"

Basketball strikes again.

But Wang Xiao's heart sank slightly.

Curry's appearance at this moment was exactly the state he was most afraid of...

Sure enough, Curry immediately made a comeback.

After handing the ball to his teammates, Curry made a big circle inside and finally ran to the left corner. Although Jeremy Lin immediately followed and reached out to interfere in time, Curry still resolutely caught the ball and shot.

The basketball soared into the air only a few centimeters away from Jeremy Lin's fingertips and flew towards the basket.

"brush!"

This time, basketball finally scored!

"yes!"

Curry waved his arms fiercely and looked at Jeremy Lin as if to demonstrate.

"Well done!"

The Davidson College coach, the substitute players beside him, and even the fans and students who came to cheer them on cheered loudly.

Although it was only a three-pointer, the three-pointer thrown towards Jeremy Lin meant that the counterattack was about to begin!

You just want to block our trump card? How is that possible?

When everyone was looking at Jeremy Lin in high spirits, the opponent's movement made the smile on the Davidson College coach's face freeze instantly.

Jeremy Lin didn't even look at Curry who was celebrating a three-pointer. The moment the opponent took the shot, he ran towards the baseline without any hesitation. After the basketball entered the net, he picked up the basketball and exited the baseline, and then just threw it away.

Throw the basketball in your hand like a discus thrower!

The basketball roared out, crossing half the court in an instant, and appeared in Prine's hands with incomparable precision the next moment.

At this time, people were shocked to discover that at some point, Plain had appeared outside the three-point line in the backcourt.

Facing the undefended opponent's basket, Prine took a shot from outside the three-point line.

Raising his hand, aiming, and shooting, Prine's shooting speed was very slow, incomparable to the lightning-fast Curry, but the basketball fell into the basket with the same precision, and the score difference that had just been narrowed was instantly restored to its original position.

Wang Xiao, who was standing on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, had a twinkle in his eye.
