Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 27 If you can't attack and defend, the University of Illinois is probably over!

I told you that the top arc position is really within my shooting range. "

After scoring the goal, Tan Yang did not forget to play Deron Williams' mentality, and he was able to vent his anger on his younger brother Chris Paul in advance. He spread his hands and shook his head.

"But if you don't listen to what you say, and if you don't do what you say, I'm in a very difficult position!"

At this time, the score was 16 to 10, and Wake Forest University expanded its lead to 6 points.

Looking back, Deron Williams, who passed first and attacked second, couldn't bear it. Seeing that his teammates' jump shots failed, Tan Yang scored 5 points in a row. He controlled the ball to the frontcourt and chose to take revenge.

"When he came to the top arc, Deron stepped down and dribbled to the left to break through.

As soon as Qin Yang's defensive focus shifted, he changed direction in front of his body. Deron quickly swatted the ball to the right and used his feet to break through to the right.

Tan Yang stepped back and moved laterally in front of Delong.

Bang-!
Deron used his strong body to shoulder Tan Yang, and then broke through inside.

Tan Yang fought and retreated, his defense was tight, and he was about to be passed... Oh, the ball was stolen, and Tan Yang actually completed the ball, and then, switching from defense to offense, he immediately launched a defensive counterattack..."

Hong Kong Zhen, Tan Yang automatically steals the ball, and based on Kidd's template in his later years, it is easy to be redirected and passed. However, if Deron chooses to automatically attack Tan Yang, or uses his physical talent to bully others, he is courting death.

During the counterattack, Tan Yang brought the basketball across the half court. Seeing that Deron was catching up, he chose to use his body to protect the ball. Then he took a look at Josh Howard's position after rushing back. Instead of passing the ball, he automatically dropped the ball. Quickly, wait for your teammates to come back and take their positions.

As soon as the rhythm slowed down, Delong immediately walked around in front of Tan Yang. Just when he thought Tan Yang would hit a solid ball, suddenly, Tan Yang moved again.

"Driving the ball, he changed direction and accelerated. The rhythm slowed down and then became quick, and Deron quickly retreated.

While traveling, Qin Yang continuously changed directions and reached the top arc position.

What the hell? Tan Yang pulled the ball, faced Deron's block, raised his hand and hit a three-point pull-up jumper.

This choice was too random. I originally thought it was a steady ball, but I didn’t expect it to be a random hit by Blind Jiba. Is there any chance..."

Deron desperately swooped to block the shot, but the offensive and defensive rhythms were on different channels, one AM and one FM, so he could only listen to the sound of gunshots.

Swish-!
With the knife in hand, Tan Yang made every three-pointer without missing a beat. The basketball drew an arc and accurately fell into the white net.

19 to 10! !
After the goal, Tan Yang continued to chat with Delong. Lu Xun said that scoring goals and making comments are one continuous action.

If you only enter without squirting, you are acting like a hooligan!
“You tell me but don’t listen, listen but don’t do it, do it but you do it wrong!
You're such a failure at playing! "

Weakness is the original sin. Although he wanted to punch that guy Tan Yang a few times to shut him up, Delong chose to hold back.

In the first half, the situation on the court was that the University of Illinois was first singled out by Josh Howard and scored 11 times in a row... No, Pierce was cut with points by Josh Howard.

Immediately afterwards, Josh Howard pressed the gourd and lifted up the gourd of Tan Yang. He was beaten by an unknown person, Tan Yang, and played a wave of flow. It rained three points and scored 8 points in a row, widening the point difference between the two sides. Arrived at 9 minutes.

At the University of Illinois, head coach Bill Self couldn't bear it and could only call a timeout to interrupt Wake Forest's offensive rhythm so that his students could take a breath and prevent the game from being taken away inexplicably. .

In the NBC commentary room, Chris Rose had a look of wonder on his face, lamenting the magic of the NCAA finals.

“March Madness is so chaotic!
Every year on this stage, there will always be unknown people who suddenly burst out with fighting power that is different from before.

They transformed into superheroes, like God wearing a jersey and playing basketball, killing and slashing indiscriminately, like a streak of meteors shining brightly in the sky above college basketball across the country. "

"I won't mention Josh Howard. Tan Yang, an mediocre player, will he be a shooting star or a superstar in the future?

It’s really heartbreaking and exciting.

Tan Yang is not only a treasure player, but also a fucking blind box!

Once it's dismantled, I can give you back a superstar.

If it's not taken apart properly, you won't be the only one blind..."

On the bench of the University of Illinois, Bill Self didn't arrange any tactics, and he couldn't make any open shots. If the tactics were useless, what's the use?
In an NCAA league with tough coaches and good players, the best tactic is to make the most of the players' talents.

Therefore, after polishing the tactical system in the divisional competition, in the national competition and the single-elimination system, the best on-the-spot command is to make chicken soup.

“We are an offensive team, and it doesn’t matter if we are 9 points behind!
If we want to win, we only have one word, and that is to do it!
Work hard, respond with more firepower, and then score more points than Wake Forest and we win.

So, just have to open up your face, put on a smile and enjoy the game.

in addition……"

Bill Self changed the topic, suddenly put away his gentle face, and shouted to Brian Cook, who would be the first three-pointer in the future.

"Blair, stop restraining your offensive firepower!

You have to find your touch quickly and teach Wake Forest and NBA scouts off the court that you are worth a top-10 pick, even in a big year.

You are about to become a star. On the NCAA stage, you have been practicing for 4 years. The offense is invincible and no one can stop it. "

"..."

The game resumed, Deron received the ball from the sideline, and Tan Yang immediately rushed over to press him.

Bang-!
Deron protects the ball with his back. He is a heavy ball handler. He practiced wrestling and boxing when he was young, and his results are not bad. He is strong, has thick skin, and is not afraid of confrontation.

Slowly controlling the ball to the top of the arc, Deron discovered that Wake Forest University's defensive tactics had changed and actually gave the University of Illinois a full-court press. Looking at Brian Cook's position, he immediately frowned.

"interesting!
Oh, Wake Forest defends like this, I won’t feel sleepy anymore! "In the NBC radio commentary room, Brooke Jerry said with a smile: "Here we come!
Wake Forest University's routine defensive operation uses Josh Howard to defend the University of Illinois star Brian Cook. "

"With a full-court press and the use of Josh Howard to guard the opponent's main scoring points, Wake Forest University is about to harvest the game..."

In other words, Wake Forest University built its team around Josh Howard, and the winning formula relies on Josh Howard for offense and Josh Howard for defense.

Offensively, Josh Howard's power has been unleashed. In addition to solving his opponent Luther Head, he can also contain a lot of defensive energy from his opponents and lead his teammates' offense away.

All that remains is to pin down the opponent's main attacker.

Brian Cook started the game with a tight hip, but he is the leading scorer on the Illinois team after all. He averages 20 points per game and can still shoot the ball when he finds his form.

Wake Forest University is pre-judging the University of Illinois' offensive actions. One step in advance, will it kill the risk of Wake Forest University losing? And this is not what makes Deron the most uncomfortable. After all, they have a lot of offensive firepower. If Brian Cook can contain Wake Forest University's defensive system and others find a sense of offensive firepower, they will still have the fighting power to kill the game. .

What hurts him the most is the way Wake Forest plays.

“Wake Forest continues to control the tempo of the game on the court!
They made a fuss on defense. They wanted to take advantage of the lead and drag the game into an offensive rhythm that the University of Illinois is not good at..."

At this time, Josh Howard is guarding Brian Cook, and Chris Ellis switches to guard Luther Head. To be reasonable, Luther Head, who is 1 meters, is facing Chris Ellis, who is 91 meters. Misplaced, but Lutherhead is good at playing without the ball. His offensive firepower has not yet evolved to the extreme. Can he kill the game?
Especially when Josh Howard can't guard him.

It’s so hard, I have no choice.

After all, Deron was passing the ball as his first choice, so he chose to hand over the damn basketball to the team's top scorer, Dee Brown, to attack.

"At 65 degrees on the right side, Dee Brown caught the ball, immediately changed direction, then changed direction, and used his 1 meter speed talent to dribble the ball in and break through.

Justin Gray couldn't keep up, so he had to fight and retreat until Rick Williams came under the basket to assist in the sweep.

Dee Brown chose to go up to the man, withstood the double-attack block of Justin Gray and Rick Williams, pulled the ball up, dodged in the air, and attacked from close range, will there be..."

Bang-dang——!
Dee Brown plays hero ball like Iverson, playing hard but hard.

It's just a pity that forcing a shot while blocking the shot and protecting the basket is not very efficient. No matter how hard it is, what's the use?
The basketball shot missed.

"Oh, Roger Powell on the left threw his body into the penalty area, lifted the basketball into the sky, and quickly took off twice to grab the offensive rebound.

The offense of the University of Illinois was not over yet. After landing, Roger Powell stepped up from the basket and made two offensive shots, and... No, my God!
A last-ditch attack at such a close range can actually miss.

Also, Roger Powell bounced up again and regained the missed basketball. This physical talent is simply too strong. He flew up again for a layup, and Rick Williams flew over to block the shot..."

Snapped--!
Roger Powell, who is 1 meters tall, has rebounding skills. He is simply the NCAA version of Rodman. He only has Rodman's ability to grab rebounds, but also has Rodman's offensive problems. Without shooting skills, he can only Dunk under the basket.

And he did not have the awareness of the mature version of Rodman. After grabbing the rebound, he handed the basketball to Jordan to solve the offense.

Well, there is no Jordan in the University of Illinois team. He seems to be aware and useless.

As a result, he continued to attack the basket. The 2-meter-08 Rick Williams naturally would not tolerate him. He completed the block on Roger Powell and also took control of the basketball.

“The details of Wake Forest’s defense on the field are great!

Justin Gray couldn't guard against Dee Brown's breakthrough, but Roger Powell didn't have a basket and Dee Brown couldn't pass. The offensive characteristics of the two were targeted by Wake Forest University.

As a result, there was a situation where Rick Williams came through and Justin Gray flanked Dee Brown, thereby preventing the University of Illinois' first wave of offense.

Although the advantage of protecting rebounds was lost due to this, the second offensive opportunity came out, and Roger Powell's close range shots were useless, so there was nothing we could do..."

Outside the court, Bill Self stood on the sidelines with his hands folded on his chest. There was no disappointed expression on his face, but he was panicking inside. Only one thought came to his mind: If they can't attack and defend, they will lose. !

On the other side, Skip Prosser clenched his fists, feeling that the game was secure.

The situation on the court has been moving in Wake Forest's favor.

His eyes fell on Tan Yang on the court, and he felt that Tan Yang was their lucky general since he started the game!

On the court, Tan Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt without messing around and continued to play the role of Fisher.

Don't take Fisher for granted. He is also a top role player who has won 5 championships beside Kobe. At least he won't mess around.

Kidd's only championship, apart from organizing and controlling the field, actually followed Fisher's route.

“Still give the ball to Josh Howard on the left side.

In this game, Lutherhead's single defense was completely destroyed.

Next, will Illinois continue to implement this defense?
Nice, Josh Howard breaks in.

Alas, Deron didn't help defend anymore, Tan Yang's three-point threat was too severe.

Sure enough, there was no choice. Brian Cook jumped out to help defend against the double attack. Facing a two-on-one, Josh Howard took a step forward, chose to take two steps back, went in, and jumped out again.

Immediately afterwards, he handed the basketball back to Tan Yang's organization, and then ran in reverse, moving to the right..."

At the top of the arc, Tan Yang caught the ball, immediately took a step forward, turned his back, and then, hand in hand, handed the damn basketball back to Josh Howard.

"'I fight, I fight, I hide, I fight again...'!
Wake Forest University's offense was still handed over to Josh Howard, and Tan Yang made a screen to support the pass.

Josh Howard switched from the left to the right and continued to break through with the ball. He went in, reached the penalty area, jumped up, and made a one-handed dunk...

Roger Powell swooped in from the side and blocked Josh Howard with the ball..."

Bang-dang——!
Beep——!
Josh Howard missed a dunk and fell to the floor unsteadily. The referee immediately blew the whistle and whistled Roger Powell for a hitter foul.

Josh Howard, who was pulled up by Rick Williams and Chris Ellis, patted his butt and walked to the free throw line as if nothing happened.

"It's over!
Most likely, the University of Illinois is doomed!
The offensive and defensive rhythm of the game is completely in the hands of Wake Forest University.

If Josh Howard made both free throws, Illinois would be 11 points behind.

Moreover, the University of Illinois continued to lose points in every round.

If you can't defend yourself, what else can you use to chase points? "

In the NBC radio commentary room, Chris Ross shook his head.

“While the offense was failing, the University of Illinois defense was also dismembered.

Tan Yang's three-pointer was stopped, but Tan Yang's organization and support made it impossible for Josh Howard to stop. He couldn't stop at all. "

"This situation arises not because Wake Forest University is too strong, but because of the University of Illinois's own choice..."

The purpose of asking is to hit the future upper limit of NCAA championship, regardless of the lower limit of current performance.
