Arizona State University's opponent in the top eight was Davis College, led by Stephen Curry.
In Zhang Jun's memory, this university was famous because of one person.
Curry!
Stephen Curry, the player who was recognized as the best shooter in the NBA before Zhang Jun transmigrated.
It wasn't that Curry had the most three-pointers, but that he had led the small ball era and the three-pointer storm.
This was an achievement that other shooters couldn't achieve. There was no need to elaborate on Curry's achievements in the NBA.
In college, Curry had led the dark horse Davidson College to defeat the seventh-ranked University of California, the second-seeded University of California, Georgetown, and the third-ranked University of Wisconsin-the University of Wisconsin-to enter the top eight of the NCAA Tournament.
Curry became one of the four players in history to score 30 points in the first four NCAA knockout games.
Curry made his 159th three-pointer of the season against the University of Kansas, setting an NCAA record for three-pointers in a single season.
In Curry's junior year, Curry completed the transition from an offensive guard to a point guard, leading the nation with an average of 28.6 points per game. He also contributed 4.4 rebound, 5.6 assists, and 2.5 steals.
Curry surpassed the legendary John Gatti to become the all-time scoring champion of Davidson College. Curry also scored 42 points against Orlando, which had Griffin, setting a new record for his single-game scoring in the NCAA!!!
Harden and Curry were also considered competitors. Their positions were similar, and their rankings were similar. The two of them would compete secretly.
Curry's stats were slightly better, but NBA scouts and the media believed that Harden, who was a little chubby, was more suited to the NBA than Curry, who was thin.
Of course, Kulit was not convinced.
In an interview with reporters before the game, Curry said,"James is indeed very good, but I won't be worse than him. We will win this game.”
Curry gritted his teeth and wanted to prove himself.
Curry's personality was very docile and humble, but he also had a strong desire to win.
Compared to Arizona State University, Davidson College seemed to be weaker. Davidson College was almost dragged forward by Curry alone.
Curry had more sympathy points than Harden in terms of the fishing wheel advantage.
..................
"Arizona State University's Zhang Jun dominated March Madness 'page. Almost all the fans are talking about this beast in the penalty area.”
"Zhang Jun is indeed very strong. He has height, weight, and strong athletic ability, which makes him invincible on the court.”
"Zhang Jun has already scored a dominating triple-double in two consecutive games, which has greatly increased his draft pick.”
"Compared to Zhang Jun's brilliance, James Harden is a little quiet. His performance seems to be suppressed by Zhang Jun. Let's see what contribution he can make in this game against Stephen Curry.”
Charles Bacchus and Kenny Smith kept explaining the key players of the two teams before the game.
On the field.
Harden was talking to Zhang Jun.
"Don't forget to make the ball for me. I want to beat Stephen.”Harden said to Zhang Jun.
"Don't worry, I didn't forget." Zhang Jun nodded.
After the warm-up, the match soon began!
Zhang Jun and Davidson College's Andrew Lovdale jumped the ball.
Andrew Lovdale was the center for Davidson College. He had an average of eight points and nine rebounding per game this season. He was 2.08 meters tall and weighed 110 kilograms.
Looking at his appearance and statistics, Andrew Lovdale was an ordinary player. Even in the predictions of the draft website, this guy was predicted to be a player who was not selected.
However, Andrew Lovdale's role was far from being reflected in the data. He was a tough guy like Haslem.
Andrew Lovdale's fierce defense and solid offensive skills under the basket ensured that the inside of Davidson College would not be completely destroyed in the game. He had also done it in the top 32 and top 16 games in history.
It was also because of Andrew Lovdale's existence that the opponents misjudged the strength of Davidson College's interior line and often made tactical mistakes.
During the jump ball.
Zhang Jun lightly tipped the ball over.
Lovdale didn't want to jump at all. He couldn't jump anyway.
The first attack was launched by Arizona State University.
Harden obviously had the desire to attack Curry.
In the first round, Harden used Zhang Jun's cover and did not let Zhang Jun go. Instead, he chose to take a step back and make a three-pointer jump shot!!
Harden was a little hasty with this shot. The basketball hit the basket and bounced up high!!
The rebound was protected by Curry, who returned.
Zhang Jun's presence forced Davidson College to give up on the fast break and return to protect the rebound.
Seeing that Harden did not make the shot, Davidson College head coach Bob McKillop was full of confidence.
Unlike the other schools that focused on defending against Harden, Coach Bob focused on defending against Zhang Jun.
Bob could accept Harden scoring, but he couldn't accept Zhang Jun dominating the basket.
From the first round, it could be seen that Bob's tactics worked. Davidson College had two inside players to push Zhang Jun when they were getting the rebound. Zhang Jun couldn't get the offensive rebound comfortably, so Curry got an advantage.
Davidson Academy's attack.
Curry found a three-point shot opportunity with the help of the double cover of the big men inside the paint.
Curry's three-pointer shot!
Zhang Jun guarded the basket, and no one could get an offensive rebound from him.
However,"Swoosh!"
0 to 3.
Curry's opening three-pointer was a direct hit, and Zhang Jun had no chance to rebound.
Zhang Jun shook his head and went to serve…He knew that this game would not be easy to play.
Arizona State University's offense.
It was Zhang Jun who initiated the pick-and-roll for Harden.
After the pick-and-roll, Harden did not retreat to the outside to shoot a three-pointer. He broke through.
But there were too many people inside. Davis College had placed three inside players, including Zhang Jun.
The three-second zone was full of people, so Harden could only choose to throw.
Harden's throw missed, and Zhang Jun was once again stuck in the crowd. Lovedale protected the rebound with force.
Zhang Jun shrugged helplessly. Harden's shot was too simple. He really wanted to score today.
The more anxious he was, the less points he would get.
On the other hand, at Davidson College, Curry once again got rid of Harden and ran out of the bottom corner. He made a clean three-pointer!!!
0 to 6
These two rounds were the epitome of the first half.
Arizona State University's players generally didn't have a good hand, but Davidson College's players had a great hand. Zhang Jun didn't even have many chances to grab a defensive rebound.
This was also the first time Zhang Jun had encountered such a strong targeted defense. He was not as comfortable as he was in the previous two games.
Even so, Zhang Jun still managed to score 20 points, 10 rebounded and 4 blocked shots in the first half.
The score was 32 to 45, and Arizona State University was behind.
In the first half, Zhang Jun's empty 20 10 couldn't move his teammates. Other than Zhang Jun, the other positions had a big difference in their hand sensitivity.
On the offensive end of the first half, the line between Harden and Zhang Jun was cut off by Davidson College. When Harden cooperated with Zhang Jun, it was difficult for the ball to reach Zhang Jun. Most of the time, it was Harden who was attacking. Today, Harden's hand was terrible. Harden shot 1 out of 12 in the first half. Most of Zhang Jun's points and rebounding were scored after he grabbed the offensive rebound.
On the defensive end, Arizona State University was distracted. In the first half, Davidson College scored 11 three-pointers and the perimeter was directly shot!
This also caused the match to fall into a passive position!
