Chapter 10: The Battle of North Carolina
In high school, Tiger and Kobe Bryant had a conversation, and finally ended hastily, this time meeting a healthy Carter who could fly, Tiger was very much looking forward to it, so from the beginning of the warm-up, everyone felt Tiger's excitement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Before the start of the info game, Coach Odom also made a special arrangement for the game, saying that when he was defending outside, he also looked at Tiger, which means that you don't have any proposals? Tiger didn't know why.
"Tiger, don't you have any suggestions? Like the study of Vince Carter? Coach Odom simply asked.
"Studied the coach and he was very strong. So far, he's the strongest of all the opponents I've faced so far, and I'm going to give it my all in this fight." Listening to Tiger's words, everyone was speechless for a while.
CBS once again broadcast live across the United States, Wake Forest has been making great progress in recent times and has become the focus of the United States, and this year's North Carolina also has signs of recovery, a focus game, destined to attract the attention of fans.
"Hello audience friends! I'm very happy to meet you again, here is a key game of the 1995-1996 A-League brought by CBS, North Carolina State University at home against Wake Forest University, both teams have achieved good results this year, Wake Forest University has maintained a ten-game winning streak and ranks first in the A-League. The University of North Carolina has also improved a lot this year, with a more perimeter style of play, while Wake Forest happens to be an inside team. Duncan and Jason. Green's twin towers combination can be said to be the envy of many NBA teams. ”
"The game is about to start and the players from both sides have come in. Washington will be held in Vince. Carter is in the opposite position, I don't know what kind of sparks can be sparked between them? The game is on, Jason. Green jumped the ball, Wake Forest got the ball, and Tiger Brown. Washington broke through, the University of North Carolina went directly to the bag, Tiger didn't pass the ball, Tiger broke through very resolutely today, he went in, Jamison was deceived, Duncan received the ball and dunked directly. Tiger was very deceptive with the ball, breaking through the defense of the University of North Carolina team, and when everyone thought he would come on his own, he passed the ball and Duncan completed the dunk. ”
Tiger and Duncan slapped each other and followed Carter. "Hello! Tiger. Washington I'm looking forward to playing you for a long time, and the blood swells just thinking about it, and I hope your performance won't disappoint me. Carter looked at Tiger in front of him and spoke. Their players during this period, especially the outside players, were all in the field of Tiger Tiger. Growing up in the shadows of Washington, a young and vigorous teenager, which one is convinced?
"I'm going to give it my all in this game, and I hope you don't let me down either." Tiger replied.
Carter heard Tiger's reply, laughed very happily, and then reached out for the ball, probed, started, Carter broke through Tiger into the three-second zone and jumped, Duncan followed and came over, Carter handed Jamison behind Duncan in the air, Jamison dunked, and North Carolina returned one to Wake Forest. After seeing the ball scored, Carter did not make a provocative move, but followed Tiger directly and began to prepare for the offensive transition.
Tiger catches the ball, and the Wake Forest players all pull away, leaving space for Tiger, who is making Tiger return one with their actions. Tiger also took a step forward like Carter, Carter moved forward, Tiger broke through directly, and also jumped near the three-second zone, Jamison didn't dare to jump, Tiger didn't care if he jumped, and dunked directly. At the end of the round, Tiger found that Carter was just as bad as his defense and was more prone to feints than him. But Carter's breakthrough was strong, especially the start of the first step was really fast.
The game began to go back and forth in the competition between the two, and the coaches of both sides also watched calmly from the sidelines, and the fans of the University of North Carolina at the scene shouted Carter's name loudly, they were excited for the team, another flyer, and saw Jordan again at Jordan's alma mater. The two of them go back and forth like this, comparing breakthroughs, comparing scoring, comparing passing, and comparing whose defense is worse. And the score has not been pulled away.
At the end of the first half, Wake Forest University led by one point at 50:49, and in the collegiate league, the game was 40 minutes with 35 seconds of attacking time per round. This score has already illustrated the problem of strong offense and weak defense on both sides. At halftime, entering the lounge, Tiger first apologized to his teammates and coaches, he played a lot of balls in the first half, played a little willful, and the team's cooperation did not play a lot, he felt that this was irresponsible behavior for the team. Everyone didn't care about this, and Duncan even joked: "The breakthrough of the two of you is so picturesque, it has covered up all our light, and you are responsible for soothing our wounded feelings." Ha ha! The teammates also coaxed Tiger to treat him, and Tiger said that when he had a break that day, he would invite everyone to eat Chinese food together.
Coach Odom saw that everyone was almost in trouble, so he gave the players the arrangement to increase the interior attack in the second half, the defensive problem is not immediately solved, and the first problem now is to win the game, since it can't be prevented, then use the strongest weapon to kill the opponent in one fell swoop, without giving a chance to breathe.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, North Carolina has not changed, to be honest, they have not changed, although the strength of North Carolina has improved this year, but it is not comparable to the inside bug combination of Wake Forest, after Wake Forest strengthened the inside attack, the game slowly entered the control of Wake Forest. There is a saying in basketball, 'you have to go inside, you get the world', and it makes a lot of sense. Little by little, the score was pulled apart, and the suspense of the game disappeared. In the end, North Carolina could only watch Wake Forest University win 11 in a row on their home turf and continue to laugh in the A-League.
At the end of the game, Tiger and Carter shook hands in the center circle, and Carter said unconvinced: "Your team won, but you didn't win me, next time, we will win the final victory." Tiger said indifferently: "Basketball is a five-person sport, no matter how strong one person is, it is useless, although my defense is as bad as yours, but my teammates are the strongest." So the next time you lose, it's going to be you. Carter snorted unconvinced and left.
After the game, the team returned to Wake Forest University. Tiger began to train even more frantically, and he felt that his defense was simply terrible. He has always believed that success is not accidental, only inevitable. He defended badly in this game, it was he who didn't work hard enough, and the recent successive victories have made him slack off in his heart, and now he has to accelerate again.
