The start of the game was quite surprising. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Trojans' tactical choice was surprising, and several other teams against Wake Forest did not choose to defend Chris Paul alone, because Chris Paul was too strong.

In this game, Sean single-handedly defended Chris Paul and became a background board many times.

The defensive coach has explained Chris Paul's shortcomings clearly, and Sean thinks that defending Paul should not be a big problem, but when it comes to the game, Sean understands how difficult it is to defend.

A lot of the time, Sean defended well, but Paul was fast enough for Sean to be helpless.

Stop-and-go jump shot, Sean has a height advantage, and he can't cover his eyes successfully; Breaking through quickly, Sean was helpless, and could only see Chris Paul bending his body to break through from the side.

Chris Paul broke through too badly and the acceleration was fast.

Sean felt uncomfortable looking at it, Paul's breakthrough was exactly the same as Sean in his freshman year of high school, it was difficult to defend, this kind of fast breakthrough that was close to the ground and relied on speed was difficult to defend.

But...... It hurts my ankle.

This way of playing, even for point guards, doesn't have to do it every game, and it puts a lot of pressure on the ankle. In a few years, it is almost certain that you will be seriously injured, and after a serious injury, you will have to change such a breakthrough method.

There's no way around it.

It's just this game, Sean was embarrassed in the first half.

Chris Paul got 16 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound, shining all over the court. Sean became the backdrop again and again, and his performance was very stable.

Well, it's very stable.

At the end of the first half, Sean was lying in the lounge, panting incessantly, and the masseur began to massage non-stop.

Someone next to him handed over a functional drink, and Sean took it and took two sips.

"Sean, how's it going, can you still stand it?"

Coach John asked, and all the eyes of the team were on Sean, who didn't say anything, but the wheezing sound slowly subsided.

'It's okay, I'll play with him in the second half.'

In the first half, Sean played against Chris Paul in 20 minutes, and it seemed that the defense was not good, but Chris Paul hit 6 of 15 shots in the first half, plus 16 free throws, and the efficiency was not high at all, but from the scene, Chris Paul was almost invincible with one against five.

The defense is really tired, and after so long in the knockout round, Sean feels that the first half can be so tired for the first time.

Normally, at the end of the first half and at the beginning of the second half, the main team has a period of rest, and Sean has always felt that this time is actually useless.

But...... This time I was really exhausted.

Chris Paul's breakthrough is extremely sharp, and his finishing ability under the basket is very strong, which is very similar to Sean at the beginning. As a defender, Sean finally knows how difficult it can be.

Fortunately, Sean's defense worked.

Interference under the basket, interference in the middle distance, Sean did a very good job.

On the surface, the Trojans were the best players in the game, with Nick Young and Gabe playing together, giving the Trojans the lead in the first half. But in fact, the real contribution is Shaun, who got 4 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in the first half, is very versatile, and contributes a lot on the defensive end.

Paul, a point guard at Wake Forest, was also responsible for some of the rebounding work, which made Sean confused, and then ...... Shawn used his speed and height to bounce and snatch Paul one rebound after another, while Chris Paul only had one rebound in the first half.

At the start of the second half, Sean was resting off the court, and Chris Paul did not play.

After the start of the second half, the two teams were really rookies pecking each other, and the performance was miserable, without Chris Paul's Wake Forest would simply not play, and the main team of the Trojans did not play, and the performance was unbearable, and the clumsy performances of the two teams made the audience a little unbearable.

In the opening six minutes, Wake Forest took the lead in the timeout.

Sean also came on the pitch against Chris Paul.

Wake Forest University attacked, the first ball, Chris Paul went straight to the single, and the other players opened up the space. There are not many tactics at Wake Forest University, basically Chris Paul handles the ball alone, or helps Chris Paul cover, and the only core of the team is Chris Paul.

Paul broke through with the ball, and Sean didn't dare to step forward at all, but slowly retreated.

Call!

Chris's speed was very fast, like the wind, directly to the right, Sean retreated and moved to the right, but at this moment, Chris changed hands, the basketball ran to the left, and at the same time his body twisted, his ankles twisted to the left, Sean wanted to move to the left, but the center of gravity had just changed, and it was too late.

Sou!

Chris Paul broke through, Sean turned around and followed closely, Gabe stood up under the basket, stretched out his hand to defend, and Sean was caught behind him.

Chris Paul made an emergency stop, Sean followed closely and stretched out his right hand, but Chris made an emergency stop and accelerated, swept past him, and then jumped up and twisted his body, a lever in the air, dodged Gabe's defense and then shot, and the basketball rubbed into the frame.

This one ball, the two Trojans became the background board, which was simply a bombardment.

Gabe stared at the basket with a look of displeasure.

Sean stepped forward and hugged Gabe: "Don't worry, you have three fouls now, and in the next game, you must control the number of fouls, as long as you ensure rebounds, the team will win." ”

Sean whispered persuasion, Gabe nodded, and ran to the other side.

The Trojans attacked, Sean held the ball across the half, and Chris Paul didn't press for a steal. One of Paul's signature skills against a point guard is to take advantage of the opponent's panic steal after pressing and then score straight away. But that's for rookie point guards.

Sean scored twice in the first half, one of which was scored by a mid-range hit after Paul failed to make a steal.

One score let Chris Paul know that although the point guard in front of him is amazingly tall, he has excellent ball handling ability and cannot be underestimated.

Sean held the ball across the half court, Nick Young blocked, Sean broke through, then accelerated the emergency stop, jumped under the basket, the basketball hit iron, Gabe forced to rebound and passed to Wren, Wren hit the iron, Sean grabbed the rebound, and then passed to Nick Young, Nick Young hit the iron again, and the rebound was obtained by Wake Forest.

The Trojans' rebounding advantage is somewhat obvious, but it can't stand such a weird shooting percentage.

In the next ten minutes, an embarrassing scene appeared in the Trojans, and both Sean and Nick Young lost their touch.

There was no way, the two could only break through to the basket to score.

Wake Forest tightened the defense under the basket, Sean and Nick Young encountered a lot of pressure and low scoring efficiency, while Wake Forest was gaining momentum, and the point difference was slowly smoothed out.

In the final five minutes, the Trojans trailed by five points at 61-66.
