no shortcuts in basketball

Chapter 15
There was a burst of screams from the Devils fans at the scene, this action is really spicy!
In the halftime of the Devils, Sandek also shook his fist excitedly.

If you dare to let it go, I can enter.

These two three-pointers are too morale-boosting!

O'Neill directly reached out to call a timeout, and looked at Bayless with dissatisfaction.

One three-pointer is fine, now it is two consecutive three-pointers.

Are you really an undercover agent sent by the devil team? !
Bayless is also speechless.

Harden's weaknesses have actually been targeted tonight, but there are some abilities that they don't know.

But Xu Yong, how come his shooting has become so accurate in only two months!
"Xu, well done." As soon as the players came down, Sandek praised Xu Yong by name.

If Xu Yong didn't grasp these two three-pointers, or even one of them, the momentum on the field would have turned to the Wildcats.

"But they will definitely not give you that opportunity again after the timeout. I need to do something on the weak side." Then he said quickly.

Xu Yong's consecutive three-pointers echoed the scene where he had seen Xu Yong train three-pointers before, and he could be sure that Xu Yong's three-pointers had reached a stable level.

Pause back, and the game continues.

At this point the score on the court was 15 to 11, the Devils led by 4 points, and the Wildcats had the ball.

This time Wise advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball directly to Bayless.

Bayless had been in good form for scoring consecutively before, and this time he lived up to his heavy responsibility. Suddenly, Shipp went inside and caused Ayers' shooting foul.

After he made both free throws, he has already scored a team-high 6 points.

Now that he can't explain clearly in front of O'Neill, let's use the performance of the game to speak.

The point difference between the two sides once again came to a gap of one goal.

And as Sandek expected, Xu Yong was no longer let out.

When Harden began to break through, the Wildcats still chose to flank, but they let go of Shipp on the other side.

However, Sanders had already made a prediction during the timeout, and Shipp did not stand still, but quickly cut to the basket, forcing the Wildcats to send someone to switch him.

At the same time, Harden also chose to pass the ball to the weak side.

Xu Yong rebounded to the left corner after giving Glasser a pick-and-roll on the weak side, and received a pass from Harden.

This off-ball tactic is cleverly set up, because Xu Yong is only a pick-and-roll man, and the Wildcats' defensive attention on the weak side is all on Glasser, who is being picked-and-rolled and catching the ball.

So after Xu Yong received the pass, it was another open opportunity.

Seeing it, Budinger struggled to return to the defense, and leaped high with both hands to block the net in volleyball.

This time, it was not only a psychological deterrent, but also a visual disturbance.

Xu Yong made this shot. Although his vision was disturbed, thousands of trainings had already formed muscle memory for him.

O'Neill's breath stagnates on the sidelines.

He didn't expect Sandek to predict his defensive strategy. If Xu Yong made another shot, it would deal a ton of blows to the Wildcats' confidence.

The fans at the scene also subconsciously clenched their hands and looked at the ball in the air nervously.

After the basketball passed the highest point, it began to fall.

Trajectory, still very positive.

"Shh!"

Accompanied by the sound of netting again, Xu Yong hit his third three-pointer tonight, and it was also the third in a row!
O'Neill stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, and the scene was mixed with restlessness and cheers.

After Xu Yong shot the ball, he still kept his shooting posture and didn't stop until the ball was scored. Then he turned around and put his index finger on his lips, making a silent gesture to the scene.jpg.

Direct fryer on site.

Xu Yong was deeply afraid that the Wildcats and the home fans would not be able to attack the momentum enough, so a wave of murder came!
Sandek was watching the fun on the sidelines.

The reason why he was so decisive at the beginning was not only Xu Yong's own strength, but also this kind of self-confident character in his bones.

This kind of player, as long as you give him a stage, he will definitely bring you rewards!

With Xu Yong's consecutive three-pointers and silence gestures, the morale of the Wildcats plummeted to the bottom.

Bayless tried to stand up to save the team again, but this time his shot was ruthlessly blocked by Ayers.

The momentum of the home team has not risen, but the devils who are the visiting team have already revealed their hideous and terrifying faces!

And the ball went directly into Glasser's hands on the outside line, the Devils pushed a defensive counterattack, Harden followed up and scored a fast break dunk.

20:13.

The Wildcats called a timeout and came back, but were beaten 5-0 by the Devils!

In fact, in terms of strength alone, the Wildcats are not inferior to the Devils, and even they who have done enough to target them before the game should have an advantage in the situation.

But first Harden, then Xu Yong, created surprises one after another for them.

Especially for Xu Yong, the wildcat team's targeting of him was self-defeating, but turned into a success!

Now the momentum on the court has completely turned to the visiting team.

When the Wildcats attacked again, the shouts on the scene were a little sparse, but it was the Devils fans, and the defensive shouts were clearly audible at this time.

Under pressure, it was still Bayless who made a difficult and elegant mid-range goal towards the basket.

This is another wave of fees that God gave the Wildcats.

However, the decline in the morale of the Wildcats was visible to the naked eye. After the offensive and defensive transition, they actually made a communication error on the defensive end. When Xu Yong moved to the top of the arc, he was emptied again.

O'Neal reminded loudly, but it was too late.

Xu Yong made a quick shot after receiving the ball.

Tucson fans just keep praying to their God.

"Shh!"

However, God did not give them a response this time. Xu Yong made his fourth three-pointer and hit the fourth three-pointer tonight!
"God!"

In the end, only the commentator at home was left to marvel.

This is not only because of Xu Yong's four three-pointers, but also because he has forgotten how long the University of Arizona has been so disadvantaged in the derby!
23 to 13, the point difference on the field came to double digits for the first time.

O'Neal could only reach out and call a timeout.

Only 2 minutes have passed since the last timeout he called!

After O'Neal called the timeout, his face was serious. He realized that this team, which has been able to handle it at will in the past two years, is really different!

But the good news is that at this time, the first half of the game lasted more than nine minutes, and both sides entered the rotation lineup one after another, which gave him time to think and adjust.

After returning from the timeout, the main players on both sides went off to rest.

The strength of the Devils' bench is mediocre, but the score on the court has been stalemate, because the Wildcats' side is also a crock pot vs. adobe, and it's not the same.

This is also the reason why Sandek boldly let both Xu Yong and Harden rest. He discovered this after repeatedly watching the video.

At the 4th and [-]th minute of this quarter, the main players of the two sides replaced each other one after another.

It was at this time that the Wildcats made tactical adjustments. While they resolutely flanked Harden, they also resolutely stopped giving Xu Yong outside opportunities. As for Glasser and Shipp, they didn't care about the outside.

If Glasser and Shipp are also accurate, they will admit their loss tonight.

This defensive strategy was very successful. Although Xu Yong's cut and Harden's breakthrough helped the Devils continue to increase their points, the Devils' offensive was obviously not as aggressive as it was at the beginning.

At the end of halftime, the score on the field was 35 to 25, and the Devils still led by double digits to end the first half.

During the halftime break, in the Devils' locker room, the players were already overjoyed, especially Ayers, who couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Just then, Sandek came to the locker room.

"Xu, James, come out and play." He called Harden and Xu Yong directly.

Both of them looked puzzled, but they still got up and followed out.
