Chapter 9 The terrifying defender
After a day of competition and exercise, Su Yi was already very tired.
But he still felt very comfortable because he was very grateful to Coach McKelope for trusting him.
Davidson College is such a school, full of trust.
This is mainly because of the Honor Code. Students will make declarations and sign when they enter school to confirm that they will follow the "Honor Code": do not cheat, do not steal, and do not lie.
The same thing as the professor will trust his students.
At Davidson College, students can take their own test papers to anywhere, whether in dormitories or in the corridors of teaching buildings.
Because professors firmly believe that their students will never cheat.
In the game just now, McKelope saw Su Yi's hunger for victory, so he firmly believed that Su Yi would not let down his expectations.
After saying goodbye to McKelope, Su Yi looked at his Nokia N97 phone, which was already 8:30 pm.
Davidson College is shrouded in the night and is surrounded by tranquility.
Walking back to the dormitory building, the campus is green very well, surrounded by trees that cannot be called, and sculptures with different shapes on both sides of the road are also full of artistic atmosphere.
He likes this feeling of walking at night, which is a boring training day after day and a rare leisure time in class to relax himself.
The journey from the gymnasium to the dormitory takes about fifteen minutes. At this time, Su Yi often turns on MP3 to relieve his mood for a day. Slow Shake and Jazz are good choices.
Plug in the headphones and inspiring music through the eardrum...
They Told Him Don't You Ever e Around Here,
Don't Wanna See Your Face,
You Better Disappear,
The Fire's Iheir Words Are Really Clear!
...
The exciting concert makes people forget their worries and accelerates time. Su Yi quickly returns to Duke Apartment.
The apartment has everything to offer, including a kitchen, dining area, and a living room with a fireplace.
He had a great cooking skills and quickly baked the salmon, made the whole wheat bread into a Turkish sandwich, and served with a little fresh fruit salad to start the belated dinner.
After a full meal, Su Yi immediately returned to dormitory 404...
The decoration of this single dormitory is elegant, with red furry carpets on the floor, and the bookshelf contains reference books for their professional courses and several issues of the Sports Illustrated magazine.
Even when he is busy, he will tidy up the dormitory.
Su Yi is a law student, and he is also among the best in the basketball team (at least he will not participate in the discussion on whether the earth is flat or round).
He even won the first prize in the debate competition organized by the community, so he can respond to the opponent's trash words on the basketball court with ease.
After browsing Facebook for a while, Su Yi took a break and ended this full day.
...
Gu...gugugu...(the sound of poultry screaming)
The sunrise awakens the early morning, and the earth is reborn.
?(ˊ�ˋ*)?
There was a regular meeting of the team at 9:30 this morning. Su Yi was resurrected with blood and jumped up from the bed to start washing.
A passionate day is about to begin again!
Davidson College is full of youthful atmosphere in the early morning.
The girls from the ballet club were wearing white silks to prepare for rehearsal by the lake. The devout old gentleman had already come to Davidson Church to pray, and some juniors were busy posting "March Crazy" posters...
Su Yi walked straight through the crowd and came to the conference room of Belk Stadium.
Coach McKelope has been waiting in there for a long time, and soon the rest of the team have arrived in groups of three or three.
"Good morning, Sue!"
"Good morning, Stephen!"
The cute god Curry sat next to Su Yi, and even tilted his head to kill him, almost making Su Yi cute on the spot.
After everyone was all around, Coach McKelope began to count the number of people.
"Talk about the next game plan." Coach McKelope spoke directly.
"In the next game, we will play against Arizona State at our home court, and we need to pay special attention to limiting their No. 13 player!"
Afterwards, assistant coach Charlie sent everyone a tactical manual.
McKelope continued to explain.
"No. 13 is the former All-Star All-Star lineup of the United States. This year's lottery show is popular and has extremely terrifying scoring ability. The key to winning this game is to limit him! Defensive! Defensive! Or defense!"
"Pick-and-roll, face-frame singles and conversion attacks are the main scoring methods of this player. There are basically few other methods such as back, empty cuts, fixed points, etc., so you must limit his singles! Whether it is breakthrough or shooting, it is his strength!"
"He has extremely strong explosive power, so you must stay focused when defending him!"
"The most important thing is that he has a deep understanding of the rules of the game. You must not give him the chance to foul! He has nearly eight opportunities to go to the free throw line in every game this season!"
...
Coach McKelope kept explaining that he would trust his players' performance on the court, as long as the players performed at their existing level, but in the preparation stage before the game began, he always wanted to explain every detail.
For McKelope, no details are too small to be important.
For example, how players wear socks and tie shoelaces because they don’t want their players to have blisters on their feet during the game. He will try to take care of all these details as much as possible.
Unlike NBA coaches who are limited to the uniform group arrangement, NCAA team coaches have a high team status, so the players obey McKelope's requirements.
All the coach said were written in the tactical manual in advance. Although Su Yi was not afraid of any opponent, he still carefully read the details of the game that the coach had arranged to pay attention to.
As the saying goes, despise the enemy tactically and attaches importance to the enemy strategically.
The division where Davidson College belongs is the Southern Division, and Arizona State University is in the Pacific Tenth Division, which means that this is a cross-regional non-routine match. The two sides have never met before, and Su Yi really doesn't understand the situation of the other party.
Although Davidson Academy has achieved a record of 18 wins and 2 losses, the winners are all the bad-strengthed stinky fish and shrimps in the competition area. If you want to get the invitation from the NCAA Committee, you still need to prove yourself in such non-routine competitions across regions.
In the end, the committee determined that the invitation list for "March Crazy" was very complicated and even had a certain subjectivity, which was a bit like the hidden mechanism in the game.
Until the last moment, no one can predict whether Davidson Academy can be invited, or as a number seed.
All they can do is try to win every game.
"Have you never heard of this player?" Curry touched the back of his head and looked at Su Yi strangely.
"You said this number 13? Judging from the number, this guy should not believe in Christ, but no one can win at our home court. That's right, even Jesus can't keep him in the Berk Arena, I said." Su Yi said calmly.
"In fact, he is a very devout Christian." Curry scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "I mean when he wasn't going to nightclubs..."
Rush rust...
McKelope wrote the player's name on the whiteboard.
Chapter completed!
