Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 40 Basketball, he is not calculating. Wade said it! !

Rest for 15 minutes and come back for the second half of the game.

Marquette University had the offensive ball, and Cord Henry held the ball. He was immediately pressed by Tan Yang, and the basketball was in Wade's hands.

"Wade dribbled the ball across half court, and Novak immediately went over to set a high screen.

Oops, Wake Forest University's defense changed its tactics. Tan Yang rushed over and Josh Howard attacked Wade from the outside in advance.

See how Wade breaks it?
Wade did not choose to force it, but distributed the ball to Cod Henry next to him, and then cut to the basket without the ball.

Beautiful, Cord Henry's kick-the-wall pass, the basketball is back in Wade's hands, and Rick Williams and Josh Howard engage in a new round of double attack under the basket.

Wade passed the ball out again, then jumped out of the perimeter, caught the ball again, and then continued to break through with the ball, and Wake Forest University broke through Wade's trap..."

'I fight, I fight, I hide, I fight again...' This is the specific operation of DDM tactics. With Wade's mobility, without messing around, he played "the enemy advances, we retreat, the enemy retreats, we advance; the enemy is tired, we advance" I harass, and when the enemy is trapped, I fight." The essence of guerrilla warfare in sixteen words.

In other words, the DDM tactic is a tactic for defenders to break through with the ball. The success or failure of this tactic is all dependent on the personal abilities of the core defenders.

Wade's mobility and playing style are a perfect fit for this tactical style of play.

It’s no wonder that Wade would rather remove the meniscus in his left knee and come back early to play games. With the support of this tactical system, it is indeed a nice tactic that can bring out all of Wade’s talents. It is very difficult to produce statistics and results. difficulty.

Wake Forest University surrounded Wade, but it only blocked Loneliness. Tan Yang and Josh Howard flanked him from the outside, and Rick Williams and Josh Howard flanked him inside, but they still couldn't completely block the attack of Wade's offensive system.

"Wade dribbled the ball and broke in again. He was so fast, tearing through Wake Forest's entire defense like a scalpel.

He went to the penalty area and passed Rick Williams in one step. He was going to the end. He shot... No, what kind of operation did Wade do? He actually passed the ball to the left corner. Oh, it was Novak who received the ball. Raising his hand is a three-point jump shot..."

Rick Williams was focused on guarding the basket. Faced with Novak's kite-flying and retreating style, he had no choice but to bet that Novak would shoot back. There were no bullets in his three-point pistol.

Swish-!
Guessing wrong, he picked up the knife and dropped it. There were bullets in the Novak three-point pistol, and he accurately scored a three-pointer.

37 to 42! !
“This shot was great!

Wade's incomprehensibility and selflessness in the tactical system, Novak's accuracy and reliability as a three-point turret, especially the tacit understanding of Wade's tactical coordination with his teammates, are vividly reflected.

Marquette University's three-point shot was extremely lethal and extremely insulting.

Wake Forest University is in danger. Whether they are offensive or defensive, they are likely to lose control of the game. "

In the NBC commentary room, Chris Ross saw the changes in Wake Forest University's defense. Then, he still couldn't handle Wade's perfect performance in MMD tactics. Point blow.

“Next, let’s see if Wake Forest can come back offensively?
After all, Marquette University is an undefended team. No matter how good their offense is, if they don't know how to defend, it will be difficult to completely defeat the game..."

On the field, Wake Forest offense.

Tan Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately brought Wade's full-court press.

"Call for a tactical cover, Rick Williams blocks, Tan Yang temporarily gets rid of Wade... No, Wade bypasses the defense and pounces on Tan Yang. Wade is like a piece of dog skin plaster stuck to Tan Yang's body, and he throws it away If you don't open it, you can't get rid of it at all.

Tan Yang had no choice. His offensive ability with the ball was not top-notch, and he couldn't beat Wade's pressing. He could only distribute the ball to the left side, then move to the left corner, and then reach out for the ball.

Oops, Josh Howard caught the ball and turned around, dribbling the ball to the right to break through. He ignored Tan Yang's request for the ball. His offensive opportunity seemed to be better.

Josh Howard drove the ball in, and Cord Henry was also unstoppable.

Go straight for it, Josh Howard goes in, he goes to the end, he cums..."

Boom, swish—!
Josh Howard got to the basket, easily hit the board and scored the basketball.

Without Wade's defense, Josh Howard will score points no matter who he plays, and he can hit hard at Marquette University's defense.

Letting Tan Yang contain Wade's defense doesn't seem to be a bad thing. At least Wake Forest University's offensive firepower has continued to increase, but Marquette University's defense is still difficult to understand.

39 to 42! !
The score difference is only 3 points, and the suspense of the game is not over yet.

Off the court, Skip Prosser shook his fists. Although he also wanted Tan Yang's offensive system to open up the situation, he had no hard requirements.

And the game is still long.

If one round doesn't work, then the second round... As long as Wake Forest University can score, bite the score, and the game is not taken away, it seems that there is no need to be serious and it has to be played in this round.

Letting the bullets fly a little longer seems to be a good idea.

Not to mention, cutting off Wade's offensive system and lowering Marquette's offensive firepower level is the key to Wake Forest winning.

Offensively, with the support of Josh Howard's forward system and the ability to score points, the game situation will not get worse.

Next, Wake Forest University continues to heavily contain Wade, so as to bring Marquette University's offense to the same level as Wake Forest University's offense. Then, the advantage will shift to Wake Forest University.

Wake Forest currently has two offensive systems. Tan Yang was targeted by the defense and turned into an offensive system.

So when Wade was blocked, Marquette University's only offensive system became zero.

This is a visible advantage!

However, when Wade drew the Wake Forest defense, Travis Diener stepped up.

First, he received Wade's pass, dribbled the ball through, passed Justin Gray like passing through the early morning streets, and used a small throw to send the basketball into the basket.

Subsequently, after Novak screened Wade, he ran over to cover Diener. Justin Gray was blocked. Diener was naturally rude, pressed the accelerator button, and went to the basket. He saw Chris Eagle coming to help defend. Leith, with a ground pass, easily assisted Scott Merritt for a dunk at the basket and scored two points.

And this is just the beginning, not the end yet.

It was another opportunity provided by Novak's screen. In this round, Diener did not choose to break through. Instead, he raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper...

Swish-!
With his hand raised and the knife dropped, Diener accurately hit a three-pointer, and then raised his hands to celebrate.

“When Travis Diener was in high school, he was ranked higher than Wade.

Even the highest-ranked high school talent to join Marquette in the past two decades.

He and Wade formed a double backcourt. At first, Diener was the main player and Wade was the supplementary player.

After all, Wade's academic performance was so bad that he couldn't even guarantee his appearance.

Wake Forest University wanted to kill Wade's offense, and it made the right tactical choice, but it still underestimated Diener's combat effectiveness.

His physical talent is not as good as Wade's, but his skills are worse than Wade's. He can also play DDM tactics. After Wade took away most of Wake Forest's defensive energy, Diener's performance was not much worse than Wade's. . "

In the NBC commentary room, Bruce Jerry shook his head and spoke loudly and bluntly.

“It’s true that Wade was a lottery pick, but Diener is also very strong and he has the potential to be a second-round pick.

When did Wake Forest University have the confidence not to pay attention to the offensive power of a talented player with a second-round pick level?
In addition, Wake Forest is too far behind in terms of three-point shooting..."

Josh Howard has been in college for four years and has practiced shooting, but he only has a two-point shooting range and a three-point shooting, which is not reliable.

Justin Gray's three-pointer is good, but compared with the two three-point turrets of Diener and Novak, it is more than 100 million points behind.

In fact, the most reliable three-point shooter in Wake Forest University is Tan Yang. However, Wade is like a dog-skin plaster to protect Tan Yang. Not only did he cut off Tan Yang's organizational system, he also destroyed Wake Forest University's The three-point shot was frozen.

Off the court, Skip Prosser's face was ugly, but looking at the players sitting on the bench, he could only sigh and shake his head.

He is not a clever woman, and he doesn’t have rice yet, so what else do you want from him?

In fact, Wake Forest University has overfulfilled its mission by reaching the Elite 8. If it wants to go further, it can only rely on the players on the field to perform on the spot.

Now that the rhythm is unstoppable, breakthroughs cannot be defended, and three-pointers cannot be matched, the situation on Wake Forest University's court is unbearable.

"Tin Yang stood up, used the screen to break through with the ball, and accurately distributed the basketball to the basket.

Bang-!
Rick Williams played a dominant role in Duncan II, catching the ball in the low post and knocking off Novak before turning around for a layup.

Tan Yang played very calmly and knew where Wake Forest University's advantages were. "

……

"It was Qin Yang again, using the screen of Rick Williams to block Wade, and he shot a three-pointer. It was so random...oh, it went in.

Well done, Tan Yang withstood the pressure and scored a morale-boosting three-pointer.

Marquette University seemed to have the advantage on the court, but their defense was too poor and Tan Yang performed very well, failing to widen the score difference in the game.

The situation on the court is still 50-50..."

……

The game was in a "I don't know how to defend, and neither can you" situation. It was a back-and-forth game, and no one could do anything to the opponent.

The game entered the final 4 minutes, the score was 71 to 74, and Marquette University was leading by 3 points.

“Wake Forest’s defense has changed again!
Dina broke through with the ball. Tan Yang looked at the defense and stood in front of Dina. Tan Yang was tight on defense and was about to lose his position. Dina passed by. Oh, the basketball didn't pass?

What the hell?

Tan Yang completed the key steal and immediately counterattacked with the ball, seeing Wade rushing over to press for the ball.

Tan Yang threw the basketball to the frontcourt, and Josh Howard rushed too fast. He rushed to the frontcourt like a cheetah, and when he got the basketball, he made a one-handed dunk..." Bang Dang -!
Josh Howard connected with Tan Yang and scored two points in counterattack.

After scoring the goal, he immediately roared and beat his chest.

“One point left!!”

After Tan Yang assisted Josh Howard to score, he said softly, but Wade next to him heard it, and immediately shook his head at Tan Yang and replied.

"Only 1 point difference?
Basketball is not about calculation. "

After Wade finished speaking, he immediately received the ball from the baseline and automatically brought the ball to the front court. After being flanked, he distributed the ball and then regained the basketball.

Dribbling at the top of the arc to hit Josh Howard, he suddenly dribbled the ball through, stepped down and dribbled to the left side, pulled back, suddenly pulled the ball up, and shot a three-point pull-up jumper...

Josh Howard's defense is not bad, especially because of his height advantage. He quickly rushed to block the shot and covered Wade's entire face. Wade jumped in the air and couldn't see the basket, so he could only rely on the moment he jumped up. At that glance, he leaned back and threw the shot, and the basketball drew a high arc in the air.

Swish-!
With the knife in hand, Wade gently clenched his fist after scoring the goal, with an expression of emotion on his face.

The Marquette University bench exploded, waving towels, rushing to the sideline to roar and applaud, and high-fiving and hugging teammates around them.

The score was 73-77.

"It's 4 points now.

Please start your calculations. "Wade said while guarding Tan Yang personally.

Tan Yang did not answer, but dribbled the ball forward. Facing Wade's pressing, he continued to ask for a cover tactic. However, he still couldn't get rid of Wade's defense.

"Tin Yang was bitten by Wade's defense again. He had no choice but to pass the ball to Josh Howard. Then, he moved to the left and reached for the ball again...

It's just a pity that Josh Howard still chose to do it himself.

Now Josh Howard has scored 26 points. If he scores this goal, Josh Howard can increase his score to 28 or 29 points. He is already far away from his super performance of 8 points in the Elite 30. Far.

Moreover, no one can stop Josh Howard's offense except Wade.

Beautiful, Josh Howard goes in, he's going to the end, oh, Josh Howard is overturned..."

Beep——!
The whistle sounded, and the referee called a foul on Scott Merritt's batter, and Josh Howard got the opportunity to go to the free throw line and make a free throw.

"Hey, Marquette University has accumulated 7 fouls. This is to implement the 1+1 free throw rule. Next, let's see if Josh Howard can withstand the pressure."

Swish-!
Standing on the free throw line, Josh Howard was not soft on the first free throw and made the first free throw steadily.

However, the second free throw shot slipped out of the basket.

Bang-dang——!
Two free throws were made, and Josh Howard only scored 1 point, raising his personal score to 27 points.

However, Wake Forest is still 3 points behind.

Tan Yang was very helpless after seeing this. Wake Forest University is Josh Howard's team after all. That's why he was restricted by Wade.

If Tan Yang and Josh Howard cooperate tacitly, with the 35 seconds of attack time in the NCAA, they can completely turn Wade into a monkey.

But Josh Howard is already a senior, and he prefers to do it on his own rather than trusting his teammates and team.

Moreover, if he chooses to go it alone, he may not lose the game.

No, isn’t the point difference narrowing?
There are still 3 points left. As long as Wade is guarded in this round and he scores another goal, he can bring the game closer to 1 point, or even score 3 points and even the game.

“Puff your cheeks, who can’t!

Come on, attack here! "

Thinking of the final battle, Josh Howard suddenly slapped the floor, and then...

"Wade changed direction and he passed Josh Howard.

It was too fast. He reached the penalty area and passed Rick Williams with another step. He jumped high to the basket and made a one-handed dunk that dominated the world..."

Bang-dang——!
Wade penetrated the entire defense of Wake Forest University, used a tomahawk chop and dunk, and blasted the basketball into the basket. The point difference became 5 points.

"Look, the point difference became five points.

You continue to calculate! "

After Wade scored, he did not forget to compare with Tan Yang. Seeing that there was not much time to attack, Tan Yang ignored it. The 5-point difference was still too late if calculated correctly. It was a pity that in the face of Wade's pressing, Tan Yang Had to pass the ball again.

Marquette suddenly pressed Josh Howard, and...

"did not succeed!
Josh Howard dodged the steal and immediately dribbled the ball inside.

The whistle blows again. What is Marquette University doing?
Could it be that they sent Wake Forest free throws, and then got the offensive ball but did not allow Wake Forest to steal a 3-point attack?

Now it's Josh Howard's free throw test again, can he withstand the test..."

Swish-!
Swish-!
On the free throw line, Josh Howard withstood the test. After making two free throws, he roared and beat his chest.

With only 3 points left, Wake Forest still has a chance...

However, Wade dribbled the ball and suddenly came in front of Tan Yang. He ignored Josh Howard and rushed to attack him. He took one step away from the three-point line and shot a three-point pull-up jumper...

Tan Yang could only instinctively reach out to block the shot. Josh Howard did a defensive block, but Wade's shot was too unreasonable.

This was basketball that Tan Yang didn't understand, but Wade shot it like this, and it was impossible to block the shot.

Swish-!
“I actually got hit, and the game is over!
Wade's three-pointer was so unreasonable.

Against the attack of Wake Forest University's handsome and ugly combination, he just pulled out a three-pointer and damn it went in.

Wake Forest is 6 points behind, and they have 58 seconds left to attack..."

Bang-dang——!
Josh Howard was on Wade's head and wanted to return the favor with a three-pointer. However, the basket did not tolerate him and the three-point shot missed.

"Qin Yang rushed to the basket and grabbed the offensive rebound. He rushed to the three-point line, immediately turned around and shot a three-point jumper. Will it be possible?

Swish-!
In!

Qin Yang hit a three-pointer and Wake Forest University still had a chance, only 3 points away with 24 seconds left. "

"Wake Forest tried to steal the ball, but after 7 seconds passed and they didn't get the basketball, Marquette called a timeout.

After the game came back, Wade took the ball too quickly and took another 6 seconds before he was fouled by Tan Yang.

Next, look at Wade’s free throws…”

Swish-!
Swish-!
Om-!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up.

At the end of the game, the score was 79 to 84. The Marquette University Golden Eagles eliminated the Wake Forest University Demon Deacons with a 5-point advantage, broke through the Midwestern Conference, and advanced to the NCAA Final Four in the 02/03 season.

Wade relied on his super performance of scoring 10 consecutive points at the end, scoring 31 points, 10 assists and 12 rebounds, posting a huge triple-double and dominating the game.

Novak scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Diener scored 20 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds. Marquette's Big Three continued to perform as dark horses and advanced to the next round.

Josh Howard scored 29 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds. He failed to perform at a 30-point level, but his 29 points were still very impressive. It can be said that the team lost, but he did not lose.

覃洋21分10助攻5篮板，依然打出20+10的两双表现。

It's just a pity that Wade turned him into a scumbag, and his physical talent was outshone. Although he had two consecutive double-doubles, his worth was reduced.

As expected, the first round is no longer possible, absolutely impossible. You can only rely on your status as a flower grower to get the guaranteed second-round draft pick.

Well, as far as the draft market is concerned, he and Josh Howard can be regarded as the team losing, but not individually. price.

Snapped--!
Boom-!
Wade felt his palms were burning and his chest was hit hard, but as a winner, facing the loser Tan Yang's reward, he gritted his teeth, puffed out his cheeks, and accepted it all.

"Dwyane, congratulations on advancing to the Final Four!!"

“Although it’s hard to accept, it’s very unpleasant.

But next, on behalf of the Central and Western Region teams, I ask you to win the championship right now. "

“For no other reason than because you beat Wake Forest.

Since we have won, don't lose to other opponents.

Anthony, one of the most famous twins, was killed by them. "

"Besides... I'll see you next time in the NBA. I will find a venue to get back what I lost."

"..."
