046: Sorry, I didn't see you
Paul must admit that this Big Twelve League championship team is not in vain.
It's not for nothing that the Associated Press ranks them sixth in the country.
The Cowboys' defense, in Paul's opinion, is the number one team that even goes into the March Madness tournament.
Tony. Both Allen and Graham are very strong defensive wings.
Well, of course, we can't forget about the Chinese who guarded the restricted area.
His presence made Wake Forest forced to shoot from the outside several times today.
Now the score is 30-30, but Paul is not in a hurry.
This kind of anxious game, he has the most experience.
To put it bluntly, in the case of similar strength, whoever can grit his teeth and persist until the end will be the winner!
Paul believes that in the second half, the Cowboys' group of guys who didn't play a tough game will collapse sooner or later in the middle of the pressure!
Wayne stepped onto the pitch with a serious face, and while it wasn't the first time Sutton had given him an important task, it still made Wayne nervous with the whole team on his shoulders.
"Don't worry, Wayne, I'll be on the defensive end." At this point, Tony. Aaron lightly touched Wayne's arm with his fist.
As much as I'd love to teach Paul a lesson, Tony isn't the type to do it when his brain is hot.
He always puts the team's victory first, even if it requires him to make sacrifices.
Wayne nodded slightly, the sweet top 16 goal of the Ohio double less has not been completed.
Besides, it's Tony. Allen's hometown is also half of the home of the Cowboys.
Even if you have to lose, you can't lose here.
Thinking of having Tony in front of him, Wayne was a lot more relieved.
At the start of the second half, Lucas carefully controlled the ball through the half. At this time, the other four members of the Cowboys are also doing complex off-ball running coordination.
Paul bites Tony like a mad dog. Allen didn't let go, and he was quite happy with his defensive performance in the first half.
Throughout the first half, he allowed Tony to score just four points on 2-of-7 shooting. Before that, no one had been able to put Tony. Aaron defended like this.
This time, when Tony got to the mid-range, Paul thought he was going to catch the ball again.
As a result, Tony just flashed and took away the defense. Lucas saw the moment and passed the ball out.
The target isn't Tony, it's Wayne!
"Wei is holding the ball in the middle distance, does he have to make a point?"
The on-site commentator already knows Wayne very well, and under normal circumstances, if Wayne holds the ball in the middle distance in the high position, the tactical role is equivalent to the existence of the "command tower".
Wayne leaned his back against Ellis, then slowly turned to face the frame.
"It's useless, it's useless!" Paul continued to stay close behind Tony, thinking Wayne was trying to pass the ball to his teammate who cut to the basket.
As a result, Wayne, who was in the mid-range frame, suddenly pulled up and threw without warning!
No passing, no dribbling.
Wayne just stood up to Ellis in front of him and chose to shoot.
Ellis also didn't expect Wayne to shoot directly, so the interference was a step slower.
By the time he remembered to interfere with Wayne, it was too late.
"Brush!"
The basketball is hollow into the net, without any bells and whistles, and without hard breaks.
It was a simple, but not easy, shot that gave Wayne the lead for the Cowboys.
"Good shot, Wei's shot is very high. Many people know that Wei is one of the players with the most blocks this season, but at the same time, he is also the player with the lowest block rate.
His shooting movements and height and reach make it almost a luxury to want to cover him. ”
Wayne waved his arm, and sure enough, it was easy!
At halftime, Sutton just wanted Wayne to play Ellis more.
Ellis is 2.08 meters tall and has a far less than Wayne's reach.
With Wayne's ability, his defense shouldn't pose much of a threat.
So, Sutton pushed Wayne to the top scorer!
Sutton was right, Ellis' defense really couldn't cause much trouble for Wayne.
Wayne's goal reminded many Wake Forest fans of Thiem. Duncan.
This steady, unpretentious mid-range jumper that can use his height and reach to hit a defensive mid-range jumper is just too similar to Duncan!
Paul didn't blame Ellis this time around, because in his opinion, Ellis's defense didn't have any major problems.
Wayne can go in like this, but can he keep going like this?
So just one turn later, the unbelieving Paul was stupid.
Because Wayne scored again.
This time, Wayne asked for the ball in the low post. Everyone thought Wayne was going to play with his back to the single, but once again he slowly held the ball to the basket.
Wayne also wants to play with his back to the singles, and the key is that his current low-post offense, strength and weight are really hard to describe......
Wayne is now better at face-frame offense than on his back.
Facing the basket, facing Ellis's outstretched hand in front of him, Wayne once again chose to pull it out on the spot!
Ellis reacted immediately this time and tried his best to reach Wayne's basketball.
But the straight-arm shot was really too difficult to block, and in the second round in a row, Wayne managed to score!
"Ellis, go up to the confrontation, confrontation!" Paul is in a hurry, he can't let Wayne score as he wants.
Since you can't interfere, then go up on your elbows and feet!
This is Brother Pao's rule of survival on the court.
Ellis looked innocent, on the confrontation, on the confrontation, then it would be a foul.
It's not like you every time you can get away with a slap in the face.
Wayne's two goals can be said to be quite classical.
This is a trick that most traditional insiders will use.
In the past, Wayne gave the impression that he had accurate three-point shooting, strong organizational ability, fast movement, and ruthless blocking, and was an alternative all-round forward.
But in these two rounds, Wayne showed people his solid mid-range shooting skills.
At this point, he is really very similar to his compatriot Yao Ming.
Yao Ming is in the NBA, and he often shoots in the middle distance and low post, and shoots and scores.
Although Wayne didn't deliberately add the mid-range attribute, his mid-range shot was 72 as soon as it came out.
Since you can't get too many chances outside the three-point line in today's game, let's play in the middle distance!
Paul wanted to respond immediately after yelling at Ellis, but Tony. Aaron didn't let him get his wish.
This time, Paul was pestered by Mr. Tony just after halftime, which is quite a bit of "Death Entanglement 1.0".
No matter how he changes direction and rhythm, Tony. Aaron was there for Paul all the time.
A Tony who is fully committed to defense is so terrifying.
He's left the scoring to Wayne, and Wayne has done the job perfectly.
Therefore, Tony is not far behind, and he has to complete his task as well.
In Tony. Allen's stalking was so hard that Paul had to pass the ball to Ellis.
At this point, there were only five seconds left before the end of the offensive round, and Ellis was a solid backbiter.
The pot fell from the sky, so what else can be done? Vote!
But it's a pity that Ellis's mid-range shot didn't hit as steadily as Wayne, but was directly slapped back by Wayne.
Therefore, the kind of shooting that Wayne just now seems simple, but it is not simple.
It's simple, because it's an extremely basic way of attacking.
But not simple, in the person with the shot can not be covered nor can be interfered with.
Wake Forest fans were surprised to find that Wayne seemed to fit the moniker "Big Fundamentals" as well.
From blocks to scoring, Wayne's moves are very simple, but they are also very effective.
Wei. If you want to be fancy, you can't only rely on basic skills. Kindness.
There is a cap, which means that there is a counterattack.
Lucas snatched the basketball that Wayne covered and pushed at full speed!
Paul was close behind, and now he didn't hurt his knee too much, but he could come out with a chase at any moment.
So, instead of risking a hard ride under Paul's pursuit, Lucas passed the ball backwards to Wayne after bursting to the basket.
Wayne stopped at a mid-range braking, holding the ball in both hands and bending his knees slightly, as if he wanted to shoot again!
Ellis didn't dare to hesitate this time, and threw himself out.
However, this is the time Wayne was waiting for.
After Ellis jumped up, Wayne quickly collected the ball and dribbled through!
Although there are only 32 possession at the moment, this kind of ball is the foundation of the foundation for a player at a professional level.
It can be done even without strong ball control.
Wayne faked a real shot and shook off the counterpoint, went straight into the penalty area, and buckled with both hands!
At the moment when he was about to dunk the ball into the basket, Wayne realized that the cannon brother who had just chased Lucas in had not had time to withdraw.
"This ......"
"Boom!"
"Wow, Wayne is across Chris. Paul completed the dunk. Beautiful goal, Wei played Ellis around. ”
"This is definitely the most humiliating scene Paul has experienced so far in his college career, he was completely overwhelmed by the giant from the big Ohio state!"
The Cowboys fans in the stadium stood up, and Wayne knocked Paul directly out of the bottom line!
Blocking the other party's star, you don't care if he is 183 or 213, as long as the blocking is enough, it is enough to make the fans cheer.
After Wayne landed, he glanced at Paul, who was knocked out of the bottom line.
Paul looked at Wayne with a look of resentment, as if to say, "How can you do it!" ”
Wayne didn't mean to bully Paul, but he really didn't notice Paul standing under the basket just now......
After all, Wayne must have looked up at the basket when he was about to dunk, and he wouldn't look down.
It wasn't until he felt like he had hit something that Wayne realized Paul's presence.
This time, it was a pure accident.
Although with a height of 2.11 meters, a 1.83 meter player is separated, it seems that there is nothing to brag about.
But looking at the excitement of the fans and teammates, Wayne felt that it was still ...... It's cool!
The floor flow also has a partition for others on this day!
It turns out that the spacer is this feeling!
Loved, loved.
"Sorry, sorry, didn't see you down there." Wayne waved his hand at Paul in embarrassment.
However, it hurt Paul even more by 10,000 points.
"Growing taller, shit, bastard!"
Paul secretly cursed in his heart, covering his wounds with anger.
As soon as the second half came up, Wayne beat Wake Forest 6-0.
After that, Wake Forest quarterback Justin Bush. Gray missed a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Paul.
Wayne grabbed the rebound and immediately followed the offense.
Ellis really listened to Paul's words and was very rough with Wayne's defense, and he even pulled Wayne's jersey directly.
But Wayne didn't rest on his laurels, and he took the initiative to lean forward when he shot this time, leaving Ellis with nowhere to hide, and was forced to violate Wayne's body.
Although the ball did not go in, the referee blew the whistle.
Defensive foul, Wayne wants to make two free throws!
When it comes to fouls, players in this era are still too young.
Wayne stands on the free throw line, and the NCAA's free throw rule is 1+1.
That is, after the first penalty is hit, there is a chance to execute the second penalty. If the first free throw is missed, both sides can immediately start fighting for rebounds.
But free throws weren't a problem for Wayne at all.
He made two free throws and scored 8 points in a row!
The coach of the Devil Deacons immediately shouted to stop the game, which means that Wayne's wave of attacks directly stopped the opponent!
Nonsense, seeing that the score difference is going by double digits, can you not pause?
Old Sutton knew he could trust Wayne.
And old Sutton confidently believed that there would be no solution for Wake Forest.
Even if a timeout is called, it will not help.
Because on the Wake Forest side, there are no players who can match Wayne.
The guy named Ellis can't do anything with Wayne's mid-range shot!
Although he is already a sophomore, Wayne has ...... potential It is far from being excavated.
His mid-range finishing, his ability to attack with the ball, there is still a lot of possibility.
Sutton couldn't help but sigh, after Wayne left the team, he was simply missing a nuclear weapon under his men!
David watching the live broadcast of the game in the office. Stern nodded in satisfaction.
You can't win a superstar just by winning, you have to have something of your own.
Wayne undoubtedly responded to Stern's vigorous propaganda with his strong strength today.
Positive attitude, untapped technology, great possibilities......
Stern doesn't know what the general managers of the teams think, but they shouldn't be stupid.
At the end of the timeout, Paul, who had just been cut off, returned to the court with a black line on his face.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he felt that Delong's "hunting power" was getting farther and farther away from him......
