Michigan has a man-to-man strategy on the defensive end, and since Tom Izzo has a two-guard lineback, it is impossible to defend together. Because Guo Xu's height can't defend against the striker, as long as the opponent has the ability to hold the ball and shoot accurately, there will be obvious loopholes.

Wisconsin's white point guard Barry Hill, who has a height advantage, sees Guo Xu as a weakness, waves his teammates away, and intends to hold the ball in the middle alone.

There's no young guy who doesn't want to be in the limelight at a major tournament, and for many college players, they may only get the chance to play on the home court of an NBA team once in a lifetime.

He's been a substitute before, and today he started inexplicably, so it's definitely not strong, so I'm really lucky. Barry was a little excited, calculating his advantage, and changed his position to the left with the ball. Guo Xu's judgment was very accurate, keeping a distance and moving sideways in small steps to keep up, interfering in front of him.

Barry held the ball and accelerated by Guo Xu, and Barry protected the basketball with his back and leaned on the other side. If it was against a player about the same size as himself, Barry was about to pass the ball at this time, but Guo Xu's 180CM height and ordinary weight were very confusing, so he chose to play strongly.

Barry leaned Guo Xu with his back and turned to the left, but the scene he imagined the opponent being hit and retreated did not appear, Guo Xu easily resisted and kept close.

As soon as Barry turned around, Guo Xu judged accurately, poked the ball out with his right hand, and then rushed forward against the ground, and took two steps past Barry to pick up the basketball and break down the fast attack.

As soon as he rushed up, he distanced himself from Barry, who turned to chase after him, and the rest of Wisconsin was even farther away, and there was no one to make up for it.

Guo Xu entered the restricted area and scored an easy layup. 2 to 0.

"It's so fast, No. 15 player Jason Guo steals and scores fast." Commentator Mark Woodson exclaimed.

Partner Tom Horvath said: "This little guard looks skinny, but he's very powerful, and it was a bit of a surprise that Barry Hill, a half-head taller defender, didn't push him. ”

Guo Xu is a person who has been single-handedly with Cliffes for a year, against an ordinary guard like Barry who is not capable of playing in the NBA, he doesn't feel half a point of pressure at all.

The throw-in was issued, Barry took the ball to the frontcourt, Guo Xu suddenly launched a close press near the midline, his hand movements were very clean, and he slammed the opponent with his body.

Pressing near the halfway line, opponents are prone to mistakes if they lose concentration. Barry's strength is average, and he was thinking about how to fight to return one, so Guo Xu came up to get close.

Barry protected the basketball with his back, subconsciously took a step back and changed direction to the right, trying to use the width of the court to get rid of it, but heard the referee's whistle. He looked at the referee and thought it was blowing Guo Xu's foul, but the referee made a gesture of "return to the court", signaling him to shoot the ball back to his own half, and the ball was awarded to Michigan.

Guo Xu looked at Barry and said in a regretful tone: "You are just like this? It's a waste of talent to look so big. ”

Barry was stunned, he was a third-year player, and he had seen the opponent's information before the game, Guo Xu was just a first-year freshman, how could this product look like a rookie? It's so exciting.

Peterson sent a sideline ball to Cliffes, the player pulled away, and Cliffes held the ball alone without covering and broke down the left flank.

The Wisconsin defense contracted and formed a wrap near the left penalty area, Cliffes passed the ball to the middle, rotated and defended quickly, Richardson had no chance to shoot, and took a step to find Peterson on the right.

Peterson was also caught on a breakaway, and Wisconsin's formation was a 122-game defense, featuring one man at the top of the middle near the three-point line, two men a little outside the three-second zone from mid-range, and two men defending on either side of the interior rebound.

The advantage of this formation is the ability to maintain pressure on the outside and effectively counter the outside projection team by wrapping the box. When the opponent's defender breaks through or cuts inside, two or three people can shrink and block the penalty area at any time, which can also ensure the defense of the penalty area, and the weakness is that the two positions of the high and bottom corners cannot be covered.

In order to defeat the opponent, Coach Dick Bennett worked hard to build the team's defensive system, Guo Xu didn't know the situation in the NCAA in his previous life, thinking that Wisconsin was nothing great, in fact, in the previous life, they defended Michigan only scored 53 points in the whole game, and lost because they didn't have a star to lead the team's offense, only 41 points.

After passing a few times, Richardson remembered what Guo Xu asked him before the game, and separated the ball from the periphery, and he wanted to help Guo Xu get the MOP and realize his dream of entering the NBA.

Guo Xu relied on Randy to cover the running position without the ball, received the ball 70 degrees on the right side, put on a three-threat posture, and raised the ball with both hands. Barry bypassed the cover to chase the defense, Guo Xu did not throw, and took a big step with his right foot to break through to the right side.

Due to the inertia of the pursuit, Barry was unable to move sensitively and was passed in one step. Guo Xu's sudden stop in the corner attracted power forward Bill Stricker to step up and distribute the ball to Richardson in the bottom right corner.

There was a big space in the bottom corner, and the two had been training together for more than a year, and Guo Xu knew very well where Richardson liked to run, and the latter aimed and shot, and the ball hollowed into the net.

5-0, Guo Xu sent the first assist, and the two clapped their hands when they returned to defense.

Commentator Woodson shouted: "It's point guard Jason Guo again, he broke through and assisted forward Jason Richardson shot a three-pointer, both are first-year freshmen, and the opening performance is very eye-catching!" ”

Barry dribbled to the front court to block and dismantle cooperation, Guo Xu bypassed the cover from the internal test, blocked the way near the penalty area line, and completed the close.

Barry couldn't break through and split the ball, and Wisconsin's style of play was to reduce the tempo, ensure the success rate of the attack, and constantly share the ball to create opportunities, and it was really not good for the player to play alone.

The Spartans were able to keep up with people in every position, Wisconsin quickly ran out of 30 seconds of offensive time, and point guard Al Rodgers and center James Bailey played a block and pick-and-roll, the latter cut the ball and hit it hard, and threw it wide under Richardson's defensive interference, Richardson quickly jumped twice and pulled the ball out of the box.

In Guo Xu's previous life, no one had ever praised Richardson for his good defense, and he was often passed by people when he played quarterback. But in the NCAA, Richardson is by no means a hole on the defensive end, and even plays a critical role. He has unrivalled mobility in the No. 4 position, allowing him to quickly make up defenses, help defenses, and protect rebounds in the backcourt.

Cliffs picked up the ball and made a quick layup, but missed but caused Al to foul, and after hitting one of two free throws, it was 6-0.

Wisconsin attacked, and the players began to move the ball again, comparing patience with the opponent on the court, which made people speechless, not like a group of young people at all, reducing the number of rounds to ensure efficiency is the veteran's style of play.

Running out of 30 seconds, power forward Beal made a three-pointer from the outside and missed under interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Randy.

Michigan's style of play is the other extreme, and Izzo asks for a quick counter-attack, how fast he can play, and the speed advantage of the two-guard makes the game the same, and the players do so, with Randy passing the ball to Cliffs to launch a fast attack, and the front court is a three-on-two.

Cliffes received the ball and passed it to Richardson, who cut in with the ball in the middle, attracting Beal to chase and Barry to assist in defense, and distributed the ball to the right side, Guo Xu received the ball at 50 degrees and shot three points without interference.

The ball draws a wonderful arc, hollow into the net, brush!

9 to 0, Guo Xu's personal 5th point.

Tom Izzo jumped up from the bench and took the lead in applauding Guo Xu vigorously, and the substitutes also cheered, only Jack Lehmann had a bitter face, he knew that these two games were nothing to do.
