The United Center of Chicago, which is definitely the temple of basketball in the minds of a generation.

Once, in this arena, Michael. Jordan brought the NBA into its most glorious era.

It has been the site of countless classic moments and witnessed countless glorious histories.

But today, this place does not belong to Michael. Jordan, also not belongs to the Chicago Bulls.

Today's Union Center Arena has only two protagonists, the Great Ohio State and Wake Forest.

Although the number of seats at the United Center was not as large as in Las Vegas in the previous game, the cheers at the scene were still deafening.

Tony. Allen is a native of Chicago, so many local Chicago fans flocked to the arena to cheer on the Cowboys.

On the surface, the two sides played in a neutral arena.

But in reality, it's half the home of the Cowboys today.

Paul stood cross-legged in the middle of the court, looking at the large swath of fans in the stands wearing orange T-shirts for the cowboys, and his expression was serious.

For most players, playing away from home puts a lot of psychological pressure on them.

But for Paul, the tougher the circumstances, the more excited he became!

Before the game began, Paul walked up to Ellis, who was about to shake Wayne's hand yesterday.

"Ellis, don't hesitate to pass the ball later, try to be as fast as you can!"

"Oh...... Good. Ellis smiled bitterly, as a senior, he really didn't have any face at all.

And these days, he estimates that he is the person who has been scolded by Paul the most.

Because he happens to be a player in the fourth position, he is directly opposite Wayne.

Therefore, Paul's requirements for him were also extremely strict.

"I know Chris, don't worry, I'm not going to hold back."

"I'm not worried about you dragging your feet, Ellis. You're an important part of our squad, so that's why I want you to do something better. Paul said, throwing his fist at Ellis.

Ellis smiled and gently punched Paul.

I guess that's why Paul was so arrogant in college, but no one could cure it.

Because in addition to being harsh, Paul also treats his teammates like brothers.

He doesn't look down on any of his teammates, but takes them with him towards his goal!

Before the game began, the commentator also talked about Delon. The Three Musketeers of Illinois led by Williams.

"Regardless of who advances from the Cowboys and Wake Forest, their next round opponent will be a title candidate. How likely do you think these two teams are to keep going? ”

"While March Madness is a winner-or-lose, anything can happen. But want to beat Illinois as a title candidate...... It's too hard, and the only thing that can stop them is Connecticut. ”

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, he looked up and saw Paul, who was preparing at the technical table, with a fierce look in his eyes, staring at him.

"Uh...... Of course, let's focus on this game first. "The narrator hurriedly pulled away from the topic and said bad things about others to be heard, which was the most embarrassing.

"Hmph, bunch of idiots, Delon. What's so great about Williams? Isn't it just a little stronger than me, a little higher in the team ranking, a little more famous......" Paul muttered and walked onto the court.

At this time, the starting five Tigers on the Cowboys' side were all in place.

Wayne found that Paul's brow had been locked since he stepped into the arena.

Although he is a traditional point guard, Paul's body, and Nate. Robinson's guy with a bomb strapped to his leg wasn't much worse.

Belongs to the kind of master who doesn't seem to be easy to mess with.

Speaking of which, Paul has always been considered a traditional point guard who plays with his brain, his athleticism and impact were anything but "traditional" before his major injury in '09.

Once faced the famous scene of Howard's successful dunk, almost every Paul fan will take out a wave of existence.

When he was young, Brother Pao was also a flying beast.

Later, after a major knee injury, his explosive power dropped significantly, and Paul made more of a transition to floor flow.

From this point of view, Paul at this time is really difficult.

As the referee tosses the ball, the game officially begins.

Wake Forest took the lead in possession, and Paul just after halftime spotted Tony. Aaron pressed up.

As the Cowboys' strongest perimeter individual defensive machine, Tony. Aaron is almost everyone's nightmare.

He is not even afraid of opponents who are taller than him, let alone Paul, who is only 1.83 meters tall.

But when the two made physical contact, Tony. Allen found that Paul's dribbling remained untouched.

I saw him separate Tony with one hand, continue to dribble with the other, and then suddenly change direction with a beautiful body in front of him, dodge a trace of space, and complete the breakthrough!

"Here it is, Paul's speed is really fast, and he shakes off Tony, who is omnipotent on the defensive end. Alan! ”

Not only was the narrator surprised, but even the old handsome Sutton couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Tony. Allen's defensive ability, which is a BUG in the NCAA, is almost impossible for outside players to play against him.

His perimeter defense, combined with Wayne's perverted rim protection, is what makes the Cowboys' impregnable defense this year.

In the past, those 20-point and 30-point victories were actually won by the Cowboys not by offense, but by defense.

But Paul, who is in the first grade, shook off Tony, who was about to go to the NBA, so easily.

His talent, his ability to fight, is seriously out of step with his height.

When Wayne saw Mr. Tony being shaken away, he immediately ran to the basket and prepared to help defend.

But Wayne almost blinked, and Paul ran up to him.

"This speed ......" Wayne broke out in a cold sweat, this was the fastest breakthrough he had ever seen in the NCAA!

Is this what a future NBA superstar will be capable of!?

Wayne reflexively raised his hands high, but Paul didn't force it, but passed the ball directly to Ellis, who was let go by Wayne, without turning his head.

A decisive don't look at people's wonderful biography!

Don't look at Paul's usual scolding, but he still trusts his teammates very much on the court.

Ellis has some mid-range shooting ability, and when he gets the opportunity, he hurriedly starts shooting.

But I don't know if it's because the game has just started and the hands are not hot, or because they are too nervous.

Ellis's mid-range jumper, which was barely difficult to speak of, actually knocked out of the frame.

Big empty shots, who is iron and who is embarrassed.

"It's over!" When Ellis saw the basketball being turned away from the basket, he panicked.

Well, he could already imagine Paul's murderous eyes.

But in fact, Paul doesn't have the heart to blame his teammates right now.

The moment the basketball popped out of the frame, Wayne and Paul ran towards the basketball landing point almost at the same time.

Wayne jumped to his feet, ready to protect the rebound as he had done before.

But the soles of his feet had barely left the ground, and he felt as if he had been grabbed by something, and his body could not continue to rise.

Looking down, it turned out that the cannon that followed the jump directly grabbed his jersey!

And because this small action is very secretive, the referee is not aware of it.

"Wocao, you know it's an old yin beep when you get started!"

What made you so "mature" in your freshman year?

Of course, due to the huge height difference between the two, although they were dragged down, Wayne still won the rebound.

After landing, Wayne was very smart to hold the basketball high and didn't put the ball below his chest.

Sure enough, Paul's first reaction after landing was to jump up and grab the ball!

Fortunately, Wayne lifted the ball high enough that it was not pulled down by Paul.

But in a good way, Paul's palm ball didn't hit, but it was directly called on Wayne's face.

Seeing that the formation was not right, Paul ran away after filming.

Wayne looked at the referee innocently, this Nima doesn't blow?

It can only be said that in this era, whether it is the NCAA or the NBA, the scale is still very large.

In addition, the referee probably didn't pay attention to the confrontation under the basket, which allowed Paul to escape.

If this is put in 2020, technical fouls can be arranged for Brother Pao.

There was no way, Wayne had to suffer this dumb loss, give the ball to Lucas, and prepare to attack.

This loss is worth it, and it is aggrieved!

Although the first round of the Cowboys' defense was considered a success, it also allowed Wayne to experience a completely different intensity of confrontation than before.

Paul's desire to win was unleashed as soon as he started, and he fought for every ball.

John. Lucas slowly controlled the ball close to the three-point line and felt extremely pressured against Paul's defense.

But soon, this sense of oppression disappeared.

Because in the next second, Paul suddenly reached forward and slapped the basketball in Lucas's hand accurately, ending Lucas's pain.

"The basketball is stabbed off, Lucas turns around to chase it, can he stop the mistake from happening!?"

John. Lucas also knew that he had made a big mistake, so the moment he was tackled, he reflexively chased the ball.

To break the ball from someone else's hand, it is generally divided into two steps, and it is not necessary to grab the ball into your own hands all at once.

The first step is to shoot the basketball away so that the opponent loses control of the ball.

The second step is to find a way to snatch the ball out of control.

Under normal circumstances, many players can make the first step, but very few can actually grab the ball.

So in a basketball game, averaging more than 2 steals per game is already a lot.

But Paul is clearly an expert at this, and after shooting Lucas's basketball, he immediately gave Lucas a rough confrontation and didn't let him increase his speed.

After throwing off half of Lucas's position, I saw Paul jump directly and jump to the floor to hold the basketball tightly!

"That's Chris. Paul, that's his style! He wants his teammates to do their best, but only if he explains what it means to give his best! ”

Amid the shouts of the commentator, Paul, who was lying on the ground, passed the ball to Wake Forest's other defender, Justin. Gray.

The latter drove straight in and easily ended the break with a civilian layup.

Watching his teammate score a goal, Paul got up from the ground. At this point, Wayne happened to pass Paul, and he began to push Lai again.

"It's war, boy! This is the real game! Don't worry, I'll teach you slowly. ”

Wayne was speechless, he slapped me at the beginning, and now he is still a kid.

You're the kid, your whole family is a kid, and I'm obviously your senior!

"Ding~"

At this moment, a sudden voice came from Wayne's ear, startling him.

Speaking of which, isn't this a prompt tone for the mission?

yes, it looks like it's been a long time since I've had a new mission.

"Temporary Stadium Mission has been triggered: it out!

Goal: Grab more out-of-control balls than Paul.

Mission Reward: A B-level raffle package. ”

"This ...... Will there be a temporary mission out of the blue? This is the legendary surprise? ”

Wayne pursed his lips, it doesn't matter if he doesn't do the task, the main thing is that Wayne has a pain in his head when he sees the lottery bag......

But today, Paul is really too deceitful.

As soon as it opened, it was arrogant.

Even if you don't have a mission, you have to fight him to the end!

Wayne cheered up his spirits, and today he had to let this rookie experience the sinister nature of society.

Paul's performance is over, and now, it's time for Wayne to play.
