Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 26: Easy to teach: Wake Forest University knows what it means. Who told you that you can’t fight run-and-gun in positional warfare!
Deron controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Tan Yang pressed forward to steal the ball, but was almost passed by like an early morning street.

The brain knows it, and the hands know it, but the reaction can't keep up.

No problem. If you want to make progress, you have to be patient. You have to survive first.

Tan Yang became more obedient and stopped making random moves.

Let the bullets fly a little longer.

Deron is a traditional point guard whose first choice is to pass the ball. Tan Yang can't defeat him, and he has no intention of trying a one-on-one.

In the position battle at the University of Illinois, on the left side of the basket, Brian Cook, as the first three-point turret produced by the Lakers in the future, continued to evacuate to the outside. Unlike the last time he went to the left, this time, he chose to go to the right.

At the same time, Roger Powell was also pulled out from the right basket. Without the ability to shoot, he played a supporting role and created a cover tactic for Luther Head, who was outside the 45-point line on the left.

"Josh Howard was blocked, Rutherhead moved to the left side of the 65-degree three-point line, and using the cover tactic, he ran out of space again.

After receiving Deron's pass, he lifted the ball a little, shook it, and rushed over to Josh Howard after going around the screen.

Then, Rutherhead drove the ball inside, went in, and then casually threw the basketball into the sky.

After the screen tactic, Roger Powell came in from the air, jumped high, caught the basketball in the air, and dunked with both hands..."

Bang-dang——!
Chris Ellis wanted to sweep out and defend the incoming Luther Head. When he saw the pass and turned around to look back, he saw that Roger Powell had already hung himself in the southeast corner with his entire body.

7 to 7! !
Who said you can't fight run-and-gun if you can't speed up?
There is Cook's ability to withdraw, Roger Powell's screen cut, and Rutherhead's switching from off-ball to on-ball, small forward and point guard switching roles at any time...

The University of Illinois can completely set up its own run-and-gun runway, so that Wake Forest University knows what it means. Who told you that you can't fight run-and-gun in positional warfare?
The University of Illinois has long trained positional warfare into run-and-gun warfare.

“Wake Forest’s defense is being torn apart!

The two top shooters in the University of Illinois team moved to the outside, one to the left and one to the right, and contained the inner and outer defensive axis of Wake Forest's Josh Howard and Rick Williams.

Then, Roger Powell makes a screen cut and can get space for running and gunning..."

Chris Ross said with a smile in the NBC commentary room.

"It's the same thing as Hamilton or Reggie Miller running without the ball.

The difference is that Hamilton and Reggie Miller combine the skills of running without the ball and catching and shooting.

But at the University of Illinois, Roger Powell's running and Rutherhead's shooting, coupled with the two's off-ball running skills in cooperation with coverage, are indispensable..."

Off the court, Bill Self was very satisfied with the offensive cooperation just now.

The combination of this set of tactics combines the technical characteristics of each player on the field like parts into one, and then uses the power of the team to penetrate Wake Forest University's defense.

This is the art of coaching!
On the other side, Skip Prosser was calm.

His eyes fell on Josh Howard, and quickly, he nodded.

The art of coaching is not just about the team, but also the art of leaving basketball to the stars!

On the court, Josh Howard received Tan Yang's pass, and then dribbled the ball through. Using his 2 meter height and the advantage of physical confrontation, he overpowered Lutherhead, who was watching the defense, and easily sent the damn basketball away. Into the basket.

Swish-!
"pretty!
If we say, the University of Illinois has just played the ultimate teamwork.

Wake Forest University showed the ultimate in personal heroism.

Josh Howard used a one-on-one to beat Luther Head again, helping Wake Forest University to continue its offensive firepower. What can you use to top it up?
With the lineup at the University of Illinois, there is no player who can guard Josh Howard alone..."

It makes sense to hand the basketball to Josh Howard and unlimited individual duels.

9 to 7! !
In transition, the University of Illinois offense.

Delong wanted to speed up, but Tan Yang held him down.

The rhythm of the game is controlled by Wake Forest University.

There is no choice but to continue to fight positional warfare.

It was still the same tactical cooperation just now. Cook withdrew and proposed, and Roger Powell also proposed to use cover tactics to cooperate with Lutherhead.

Wake Forest, however, had had enough of being set up and didn't run out of defense.

Instead, we implement defensive tactics based on what Lu Xun said, that is, the closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage.

"Wake Forest University has changed its way of life!
Instead of spreading out, Rick Williams stayed in the paint.

Chris Ellis expanded the defense, but opened up the defense against Roger Powell, and defended the zone with Josh Howard, mainly cutting off passing routes..."

At the same time, Tan Yang, who was in the top arc, also put pressure on the right side of Deron Williams, but to no avail.

Deron was not in a hurry to pass the ball. He chose to step down and dribble, dribbling the ball to the left to break through. When Tan Yang's defensive focus was mobilized, he immediately threw the damn basketball to Di Brown, who was 65 degrees on the right. The latter pushed with both hands and sent the basketball to the right three-point corner.

"Brian Cook was free in the bottom corner. He caught the ball, raised his hand, and shot a three-point jumper..."

Rick Williams still did not extend the defense. Justin Gray switched defense to interfere, while Qin Yang switched defense in front of Dee Brown. The rest could only listen to the direction of the gun.

The bet is on a 2-meter big man. No matter how strong his three-point shooting is, he can't kill the game.

Bang-dang——!
"Missed!
There was an absolute opportunity to attack, but Brian Cook's three-point shot was useless. It was too soft and just missed the outside..."

"The basketball was picked up by Rick Williams and he immediately passed it to Tan Yang. Then, Tan Yang took a lucky step and threw the basketball forward without thinking.

Again!
In Wake Forest's counterattack, Josh Howard rushed forward like a cheetah, and he still completed the overtake of Luther Head. Beautiful, Josh Howard got the basketball, everything is clear in front of him, only the basket is left..."

Bang-dang——!
Josh Howard took the ball to the penalty area, jumped high, and slammed the basketball into the basket with a one-handed dunk.

11 to 7! !
Josh Howard became the most handsome boy on the court. He scored all the points scored by Wake Forest University alone.

This is the rhythm of one person challenging a team!
“The Illinois offense still turned over Brian Cook’s card.

In the right three-point corner, at the same position, Cook caught the ball, lifted it up, and without hesitation, continued to try for a three-point jump shot. Will it happen...

Swish-!
pretty! Three point hit!
This is the kind of shooting that ranks among the top ten in the 03 draft predictions.

The draft template is Horry, and sure enough, he has a big heart!

If Wake Forest University dares to vote, Cook dares to score one and they can see..."

11 to 10! !
Off the court, Skip Prosser looked calm.

Since the University of Illinois doesn't understand defense, Wake Forest doesn't have to understand it either.

It depends on whether Josh Howard's offense is harder and more durable, or whether Illinois' shooting is harder and more durable.

Anyway, Lu Xun’s truth is on their side.

In terms of attack distance, Wake Forest University is obviously closer to the basket.

On the field, Wake Forest offense.

Qin Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Deron suddenly pressed on his left side.

Yo, that's not letting him pass to Josh Howard on the left side.

"Tin Yang was pressed, and he had some trouble controlling the ball. He was about to lose the basketball, so he fought and retreated... Oh, suddenly there was a change of direction, and Tan Yang passed the pressing Deron.

He accelerated towards the three-point line and reached the free throw line. Tan Yang pulled the ball and he shot, would it have happened..."

Swish-!
Qin Yang didn't give the University of Illinois a chance to make up defense. He didn't break through to the end, so he called it a day and hit a two-point jumper.

13 to 10! !
For Hong Kong, it's not that Tan Yang's breakthrough skills are great, but that Josh Howard's singles threat is too severe.

Of course, it all depends on the University of Illinois' defense. They really can't guard it, they can't guard it at all!

Although Deron is a first-year player, his defense may not be that bad, but when he presses Tan Yang's left side with purpose, he leaves the vulnerability on the right side to Tan Yang.

It's your choice!

Bang-dang——!
Sure enough, the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage.

Blair Cook likes to shoot three-pointers like crazy, but as a result, his open shot still misses.

If you don't listen to Lu Xun's advice, no wonder your shooting will be jammed.

Nowitzki's three-pointer failed to kill the game. Is the NBA's first three-point battery worthy of it?
"Wake Forest University attacked, Qin Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Deron did not try to press again.

Tan Yang also went smoothly and handed the basketball to Josh Howard on the left.

It's Josh Howard holding the ball and challenging Luther Head again. Can the University of Illinois' defense hold on?
Up to this point in the game, they have not lost any points in any defensive round.

Oh, sure enough, the University of Illinois couldn't bear it, so there was no need to bear it any longer, and it chose to change its way of life, and Deron helped defend it.

boom--!
Josh Howard made no waves and passed the basketball back to Tan Yang at the top of the arc to reorganize the offense.

What the hell?

Tan Yang was too messy, he pulled it out, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."

Deron Williams turned around in panic and rushed back to interfere, but it was still a shot late. He could only bet that Tan Yang's shot would come back and just stay on the outside.

Swish-!
“In!
Tan Yang's three-part hair is stubbled!

Illinois selected zone defenseman Josh Howard.

They have to withstand the three-point firepower of Wake Forest University's other offensive points.

It makes sense to consider one thing at the expense of the other!

Fortunately, the University of Illinois's choice is very scientific. If it can kill Josh Howard's offensive point defensively, the final situation will be nothing more than a shooting competition with Wake Forest University?

Boy, that’s the kind of pace the University of Illinois likes!
In fact, you don’t have to worry too much about losing those points..."

Even if you ask, Wake Forest University didn't lose as many points.

As long as Illinois' offensive firepower is more aggressive and it gets shot a few times, it's still acceptable.

Tan Yang also experienced the effect of playing next to a superstar.

For example, when playing next to James, the shooting space for the outside attack group becomes as wide as the ocean.

Once in a while, there's nothing wrong with just catching the blame.
