Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 12: If you are so confident, is there any way to do this? Are there any laws?
The Duke Blue Devils attacked, Duhon controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and immediately discovered that Wake Forest's defense had changed its way.

Of course, it was also forced!

JJ Redick's lack of ball and cutting disrupted Wake Forest University's defense. Even if you can keep up with the back of his car, there are still cover tactics waiting for you on the road ahead. If you continue to change someone to follow, you will lose sight of one thing. An exhausting situation.

If you can't handle JJ Redick's off-ball offense, then don't do it.

It's better to turn passivity into initiative and take the initiative with me. Since you can't be a rabbit, then be a tortoise and protect the penalty area first, so that the Duke Blue Devils' three-dimensional offense is missing part and will not be defeated by the multi-point offense. Beat to death.

As for the outside defensive area, if you can defend it, you will make money. If you can't defend it, you can only let the bullets fly for a while.

The closer to the basket, the higher the hit rate, and vice versa. The truth that Lu Xun said may punish JJ Redick's long-range shooting.

Of course, the truth only lies within the range of artillery fire. It depends on whether JJ Redick's gun is long enough.

“The wings of the Duke Blue Devils switched positions, JJ Redick came from the right to the left, and was switched by Josh Howard.

Sheldon Williams went out, blocked Josh Howard, and JJ Redick was open.

Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the left side, catch the ball, raise it, and raise your hand to shoot a three-point jumper..."

Bang-dang——!
The opportunity has come out, but JJ Redick is not that useful yet.

At this time, he is not the JJ Redick three years later, who can average 26.8 points per game, become the NCAA three-point shooting king, and can break the record with 450 three-pointers in four years.

If you use the sword from three years later to cut down the current official, you will obviously have some ability, but not much.

This season, he averaged only 13.6 points per game and has not grown up yet.

Off the court, Coach K had a calm face, but he shook his head inwardly. JJ Redick was still too young, and there was still a big gap between him and Hamilton in 99!

That year, the Duke Blue Devils reached the NCAA finals, but lost to the University of Connecticut led by Hamilton by 3 points.

Hamilton's off-ball catching and shooting skills left a deep impression on him.

The rebound was picked off by Rick Williams. Qin Yang advanced with the ball. Duhong continued to press, but still could not stop Qin Yang from dribbling the ball past half-court.

"The ball was still distributed to Josh Howard to hold the ball and attack, and Deng Tai Jones continued to play music, and then pressed closely, leaving no room for shooting.

The basketball is back in Tan Yang's hands. Du Hong continues to press Tan Yang. Next, let's see how Tan Yang handles it..."

How else to deal with it?

The question is to pass the ball to Justin Gray on the right, against JJ Redick who is strong in offense and weak in defense. The advantage is on Wake Forest's side.

It's a pity that Justin Gray is a shooter, and his offensive ability with the ball is quite acceptable. JJ Redick also forced him from the outside, but he broke through with the ball.

"Oh, Shafri Randolph let go of Chris Ellis, quickly pounced on Justin Gray, and JJ Redick, who was fighting and retreating, completed a double attack on Gray.

A beautiful pass, Gray made no waves, passed the ball to the open Chris Ellis, caught the ball in the right corner, raised his hand, and shot a long two-point jumper..."

Shafri Randolph didn't regard Chris Ellis' mid-range shot as alive at all. He just stretched out his hand, and then turned around to grab the rebound.

Bang-dang——!
"No!
Except for Qin Yang's three-pointer, no other Wake Forest players had made a successful shot, and the offense still had not picked up.

It’s hard to stand up. Although Wake Forest University got open shooting opportunities, the rhythm of the game is still the rhythm that Duke University likes..."

Rather than saying that Wake Forest University created an open shooting opportunity in the offensive round just now, it is better to say that the Duke Blue Devils gave Wake Forest University a shooting opportunity.

This is how to fight for the "lower limit" with Wake Forest University, or it can also be said to fight for shortcomings.

Josh Howard is the MVP of the ACC League this year, averaging 20 points per game, and is also the team's scoring leader at Wake Forest University. Anyone who is not blind knows that if the Duke Blue Devils want to win, they will freeze Josh Howard's score. Offensive firepower.

And this is just the beginning.

Qin Yang was the hero of the victory over Georgia Tech in the last game, and was immediately targeted by Duke's pressing defense. When Qin Yang hit a three-pointer, Hong Du no longer helped defend Josh Howard, but firmly pressed the ball. Damn Qin Yang's offensive point.

This is called elimination!
A very simple tactical concept.

If Josh Howard can play, he will focus on taking care of him. Tan Yang steps up to break the game and then divides the troops to take care of him.

If Justin Gray also has a tough offense, Duke will continue to play tight defense, and then, there's Chris Ellis and Rick Williams.

The Wake Forest offense was on fire there, and that was where the Duke Devils defense pounced.

Checking them one by one, Wake Forest University's starting five players will always have players who can't attack, or whose offensive efficiency is not high.

With Wake Forest's lineup, who can withstand such a test? The Duke Blue Devils' starting five are all talented players who have made a name for themselves. Even if the worst players are brought out to compete with Wake Forest's worst players, the Duke Blue Devils will have the last laugh out of ten times.

No matter how you calculate it, the advantage lies with Duke University.

Going a step further, on the court, the Duke offense.

Their tactics remain unchanged. JJ Redick cuts from the right to the left, and Josh Howard switches defense.

At this time, the wing matchup on the right is Dengtay Jones versus Justin Gray.

Seeing this situation, Chris Duhon immediately distributed the ball to the right side.

"Deng Tai Jones received the ball at a 65-degree angle on the right side and immediately dribbled the ball with intensity. He acted recklessly. Justin Gray couldn't match the physical confrontation, so he had to fight and retreat. Chris Ellis rushed to help defend.

Deng Tai Jones didn't like them, so he chose to go up to the man, take the ball and rush to the basket for a layup..."

Bang-dang——!
Beep——!
Although the basketball failed to score, it caused a defensive foul on Wake Forest University, and Dengta Jones got the opportunity to go to the free throw line and make a free throw.

Swish-!
Swish-!
No mercy, Deng Tai Jones made two free throws at the free throw line and scored two points.

3 to 9! !
The point difference became 6 points.

The gap is not big, and it is still within the range of the pursuit.

However, the rhythm of the game is firmly in the hands of the Duke Blue Devils.

Even if the game is decided by role players, is there any other way to decide the game by using the last-picked role player?
Are there any laws?
Naturally, Josh Howard couldn't bear it when the game was so manipulated and chose to overturn the table.

Anyway, if our own role players and their offensive firepower are not enough to feed a cat, they can't handle this Duke Blue Devils, so don't do anything.

"Beyond the 70-degree three-point line on the left side, after three threats, Josh Howard dribbled the ball through and reached the penalty area. He pulled it out and shot...

Bang-dang——!
I tried to force the superstar style, but still couldn't score. "

……

“Josh Howard broke through, got to the paint, got double-teamed, and got the ball out.

Tan Yang caught the ball, raised it, clicked it, but didn't shoot. He passed the ball to Josh Howard who jumped out, and continued to break through with the ball. He pulled it out again, and he shot again.

Swish-!
Beautiful, finally, it finally broke zero!
'I fight, I fight, I hide, I fight again...'

If there is no chance for a breakthrough, then jump out, get the ball again, and continue to break through with the ball. Although Josh Howard is very tired, he is very lethal and can score the basketball. "

……

"Josh Howard stopped moving and got the ball out.

Qin Yang resisted Chris Duhon's 185-day block and raised his hand to shoot a pull-up three-pointer. This shot was too unstable. Is it possible?

Bang-dang——!
Tan Yang's three-pointer failed to hit.

Under the basket, Rick Williams grabbed the rebound and redistributed the ball. Tan Yang caught the ball and raised it a little, swaying past Chris Duhon.

Qin Yang broke through with the ball, and then passed the ball to Josh Howard who came in from the air. He went to the basket and made a one-handed dunk...

Bang-dang——!
Wake Forest University's offense forced a break, and the offensive firepower was very brave! "

……

At the end of the first half, the score was 27 to 39. Wake Forest University made a wave of strong attacks and strong kill operations. Looking at the score difference, it was 12 points behind.

Josh Howard forced a one-on-one challenge on Deng Tai Jones, and might be able to score some points, but the efficiency was not high. He only made 9 of 4 shots. With 4 of 3 free throws, he scored 11 points and 3 rebounds.

Qin Yang made 5 of 2 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 6 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds. His statistics were good, but he was not a reliable open shot, and his efficiency was quite acceptable.

JJ雷迪克6投3中，三分4中2，进账8分1助攻。

邓台琼斯6投3中，罚球4中4，进账10分2篮板，

While the Duke Blue Devils have excellent offense on both wings, they play at the rhythm they like, and other offensive points are also blossoming.
