NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

In the locker room,

USC players lowered their heads one by one, and Coach Claire no longer had the heart to draw up tactics.

They had already done what they should do.

The score difference was getting bigger and bigger.

On offense, every missed shot would increase the pressure on the players by one point.

At this point, the players were about to break the string in their hearts.

Roy stood up from his chair and stretched his muscles.

He looked around at his teammates and said to everyone:

"I will arrange a simple tactic. In the second half, give me the ball and I will attack. You are responsible for defense. I will take you to the next round!"

The players' eyes flickered, and finally turned to trust.

Without Roy, this group of people would not have come here.

This year's results have exceeded everyone's expectations.

Since the conventional tactics are no longer effective, then try Roy's idea in the second half. Even if you lose, you will have no regrets!

Back in the second half,

Ben Gordon unexpectedly found that the player defending him was Roy on the opposite side,

He laughed contemptuously,

Although you are not slow, I am a 1.91 meter guard, and I am good at speed.

Let you see what speed is,

You think you can defend five positions,

Today I will teach you a lesson.

Thinking of this, he took two steps back with the ball.

Roy stepped on the three-point line to predict his breakthrough direction, and was not worried that he would throw a super long-distance three-pointer.

Ben Gordon's breakthrough did not leave Roy behind as he wished.

Instead, he was firmly stuck outside the penalty area after entering the three-point line.

The speed he was proud of failed to shake off Roy, which made the proud Ben Gordon embarrassed.

Dribble disguised as a step-back jump shot.

The moment he took off and shot, Roy pressed him down with the ball.

While Ben Gordon was in doubt, Roy exerted force and directly took the ball from Ben Gordon's shooting hand.

"Oh my God, what did I see? Crazy Roy blocked Ben Gordon. His footsteps and speed were completely underestimated. His defense reminded me of Kevin Garnett!"

Kenny Smith covered his head. He was also 1.91 meters tall and knew the value of Roy's defense.

Barkley said disapprovingly:

"I could have done it back then, this kid has quite a bit of my character back then."

"Come on, it's not like I haven't played before, I'll pass you just like I pass my living room."

Flying Pig's habit of bragging has never changed, Kenny Smith refuted Barkley's nonsense.

After stealing the ball, Roy passed the ball to McGinnis who dribbled across half court,

and unexpectedly stood at the baseline,

Is this going to give McGinnis a singles game?

Okafor on the defensive side started to look after Roy beside him, ready to go up and defend McGinnis at any time.

"The omnipotent Roy has no tricks, is he letting his little brother take charge of the offense? Is this the offensive right of the core player you said?"

Okafor, who was successfully brainwashed by Connecticut coach Calhoun in the first half, took advantage of McGinnis's dribbling to block time and continued his sarcasm in the first half.

In fact, there was no such thing. Roy responded to everyone's doubts with practical actions.

Roy's light footsteps led Okafor from the left baseline to the right. When everyone thought Roy was helping his teammates to open up space,

Roy made a counter-run, and McGinnis got the ball and passed it to Roy who cut inside the basket and scored a dunk.

This tactic was often played by Roy and McGinnis during training, but it had never been used.

Just when they were resting, Roy expressed his opinion that he wanted to get rid of the ball-holding attack.

Roy's eyes at the baseline made McGinnis understand his intention, so there was the smooth cooperation just now.

"Emeka, do you know why Ben Wallace, the two-time best defensive player and two-time rebounding champion, can only get an annual salary of 5 million, while Rasheed Wallace and O'Neal can easily get an annual salary of tens of millions?"

Roy planned to continue the divisive strategy in the first half. Without waiting for Okafor to answer, Roy said something that made Okafor feel cold:

"Because they are not fools, offense is always more valuable than defense. Do you understand what I mean? You are stereotyped by your own team! They just want you to be a blue-collar worker and a coolie!"

Continuing the next round, Roy firmly locked Ben Gordon,

Okafor did not assist after receiving the ball, but took the ball and played hard inside. His skills were too rough and he tried his best to dodge and move, but he still couldn't deal with the center of USC.

Both of them are stationary centers. When you don't have a mid-range shot, I will stand under the basket and watch you shoot with confidence.

When you want to make trouble in the restricted area, I'm sorry, I will kill you.

The mid-range shot became Okafor's Achilles tonightThe heel of the scorpion,

The repeated misses shattered his already limited confidence.

His teammate grabbed the rebound and threw it to Roy near the midline.

Okafor quickly retreated to the basket.

Roy did not choose the layup or dunk that everyone imagined.

He used the simplest method later, dribbling two steps to the three-point line and chasing three-pointers!

The basketball accurately went into the net.

Barkley had a bunch of question marks in his head, and even asked a soul-searching question,

Is this the inside line? Who is he, what is he doing? Is he Dirk Nowitzki?

Only Roy knew that 20 years later, a Serbian center relied on this blurred inside and outside plus epic coordination to dominate that era and won three MVPs and two championships.

I am not an inventer, I am just a porter of the future!

Roy scored five points in a row, and the score difference came to single digits.

With more than ten minutes left, the 7-point difference was not safe at all.

Connecticut coach Calhoun called a timeout.

The second half had just started for less than 2 minutes.

Roy's change in style was completely beyond his expectations.

Okafor was completely unaccustomed to Roy's off-ball style.

He was completely blinded by Roy's cut.

Calhoun glanced at the bench and finally decided to change defense.

After the timeout, a new face appeared in Connecticut's lineup, a thin black forward Sam Black, who replaced Okafor.

Sam Black seemed taciturn and just followed Roy.

When Connecticut University attacked, he almost never received the ball. Instead, he just supported a simple screen and waited for his teammates to shoot and grab rebounds.

Ben Gordon's reluctant shot bounced out of the basket again under Roy's pressure.

McGinnis protected the rebound, and the offense and defense changed. Connecticut University's defense returned quickly.

Roy gave the ball to the point guard.

He still didn't have the ball and carried out the off-ball cut tactic, but different defenders gave people completely different feelings.

The new Sam Black was extremely fast, sticking to Roy like a dog shit plaster, following closely.

His speed was no less than Roy's, and he was not afraid of him.

He followed closely after Roy's repeated escapes. The point guard dribbled a few times, and seeing that Roy had no chance, he passed the ball to the running McGinnis.

"Clang" the basketball hit the front of the basket heavily and bounced far away.

McGinnis flew to save the ball, The ball that was about to go out of bounds was retrieved from mid-air.

The basketball returned to Roy's hands. He quickly understood the routine of Connecticut coach Calhoun from the test just now.

This was to use speed to counter speed, using this person's height and speed to defend his open cut.

Then why should I open cut and be led by him?

Roy took the ball and switched to singles mode directly.

After dribbling to 45 degrees, he turned his back and stuck Sam Black firmly behind him.

Dribbling step by step to the basket.

If Roy is as thin as a telephone pole, then Sam Black should be as thin as a stick.

Roy easily relied on his strength to eat his defense, squeezed into the basket, and hit the small hook shot.

Connecticut coach Calhoun sat on the bench dejectedly.

He just wanted to delay the game for a while, but his trick was easily cracked by his smart opponent.

Then it became Roy's personal show.

Playing against Okafor, he made a jump shot in the air, and used his height to cut inside and easily beat the forwards, guards and defenders on the opposite side.

Playing against Blake, he made a strong inside shot, and threatened the three-second zone by facing the basket and back to the basket.

Okafor's defense was okay, but in the second half, Roy's jump shot rate was 65%, which was terrifyingly accurate.

He used delicate and surgical-like offense to dismember Okafor's defense.

The University of Connecticut led by 12 points at halftime.

Roy took 10 minutes to tie the score.

Okafor's offensive uselessness was completely exposed.

Ben Gordon was locked down by Roy and made 1 of 10 shots in the second half.

Connecticut coach Calhoun wanted to cry when he saw the technical statistics of his favorite student Ben Gordon.

Okafor was exhausted throughout the second half. Okafor, who wanted to compete with Roy for the strongest inside player,

was fouled out for the last 5 minutes of the game.

The duel between the two top inside players of the NCAA ended at this moment.

74 to 67.

The players of the University of Connecticut were stunned.

The substitute player of USC rushed into the court and lifted Roy high.

The joy of victory lingered on everyone's face.

Roy, who was thrown into the sky by his teammates, laughed and asked his teammates to put him down.

The champion of the Phoenix Division was born!
