Smith has coached North Carolina for many years and has a lot of experience in on-the-spot commanding, so how can he not see Carter's dilemma on the court? Smith, who didn't see much of the forward guard, quickly figured out a solution by turning Shamond into a three-point shooter, with Carter holding the ball and Jamison on the pick-and-roll.

Once Jamison was able to pull out to cover Carter, then Selesstad's circle would be self-defeating. In this way, Carter will have to face Maddy's defense, in Smith's opinion, Maddie's defense is very average, at least it will not play a role in the face of Carter, and with his character, he will not use such a disgusting tactic to go around the front.

Besides, even if Maddie guards Carter, what can she do? Carter could have passed the ball to Jamison, who either bounced off to shoot or went down to the basket to attack the basket, and it was easy and enjoyable to face Selestend's defense. Of course, North Carolina trailing by seven points is the root cause of Smith's eagerness to make a change.

This time, Smith didn't call a timeout, he just took advantage of the Villanova player's free throws to call Shamond to the sideline to reprimand. He believes in the tactical understanding of his players, and with a little mention, these guys can implement their own tactics.

Shamond has no objection to Smith's arrangement, and even if he goes from being an offensive playmaker to a weak-side three-point shooter, that doesn't matter. Shamond doesn't have the same strong desire to perform as Jamison and Carter, and he doesn't care what he does as long as he can help the team win.

After Brand hit both free throws, the gap between the two sides stretched to nine points, and the rest of the North Carolina players looked frustrated. But Shamond, who was given a face-to-face coaching by the head coach, began to cheer his teammates on and told Carter and Jamison about the coach's arrangement. Carter was naturally overjoyed, he was really annoyed by Selestende's roundabout, and Jamison was no different, his personality meant that he would not make any objections to the coach's arrangement.

North Carolina kicked off and Haywood fed the ball to Shamond, who headed straight for Villanova's half. However, unlike before, he did not come to the top of the arc to direct his teammates to run, but handed the ball directly to Carter, who was pulled outside the three-point line. Selesstad did not choose to go around the front, and when the opponent has such a wide range of activities, those who choose to go around the front are in arrears of IQ, and people can get the ball outside the three-point line with a casual acceleration.

Despite this, Celestead did not give up, and as soon as Carter got the ball, he rushed up and stared at Carter's toes to prevent him from suddenly starting to penetrate the inside. This is the first time Carter has been so comfortable with the ball in this game, although he is still two steps away from the three-point line, with his character, this ball must be directly with the ball to single Selestende, but as soon as he thought of the head coach's arrangement, Carter was dumbfounded and motioned for Jamison to come up and block the dismantling.

In the face of Selesstad's defense, Carter changed hands and dribbled under two consecutive crotches and cut directly to the right. Celestead was a step slower, and he was about to turn around, but he crashed straight into a man and nearly fell to the ground. Of course, even if he falls to the ground now, the referee will not blow the whistle, after all, the guy who was hit is firmly nailed to the spot as if his feet are rooted, and there is no extra movement, and he can't find any chance to fake a fall.

It was Jamison who pulled up to the top to cover Carter, but he also brought Maddie out by the way. When he stopped Selesstad, the situation on the court became a one-on-one heads-up between Carter and Maddie near the free-throw line, something that Carter had been thinking about before the game began.

Looking at this familiar face, Carter couldn't help but use the routine of playing bullfighting before. Shaking his shoulders, changing hands, tentative steps, and pretending to shoot, he was convinced that this series of feints could pick up Maddie so that he could easily go straight to Villanova's basket and choose one of his arsenals to score.

But just as he was confidently preparing to break through directly, he was surprised to find that Maddie was still standing in place very calmly, his defensive posture was not chaotic at all, and his eyes were full of disdain and pity. Indeed, before joining Villanova, Maddie was likely to be fooled by Carter's feints, after all, he is a more offensive player in his own right, and although he has top speed and agility, defense is not his main focus.

However, after becoming the team's organizational core, Maddie has set higher requirements for himself, and he hopes to become an all-round forward who can achieve achievements on both offensive and defensive ends, which is also the goal that Chang Wei set for him. Although Rappers did not deliberately ask him to practice defense, Chang Wei arranged a lot of training for him to strengthen defense, after a season of tempering, Maddie has long been reborn, he is no longer the defensive black hole before, but Carter doesn't know anything.

Taking advantage of Carter's froze in place, Maddie slapped the basketball off his hand, then quickly bent down to pick it up and spied towards the North Carolina halfcourt. His dribbling sprint was indeed fast, and the players who had already passed the halfway line of North Carolina reacted, and rushed to their baskets one by one, but unfortunately it was too late.

When Maddie's left toe just stepped on the free throw line, the whole person had already risen up, swept through the air like a roc spreading its wings, and smashed the basketball into the basket with a "boom". After landing lightly, Maddie ran back to her own half of the court and high-fived her teammates, but Carter still stood still, as if he couldn't believe what was happening.

Smith also frowned on the sidelines, he didn't expect Maddie to actually defend Carter, does it mean that his defensive ability has reached a very high level, or is it that he is too familiar with Carter? No one doesn't know, but Smith knows that if Maddie continues to display that kind of defensive ability, it means that his pick-and-roll tactics are going to go bankrupt.

Maybe you can get two inside players out to block and dismantle? As soon as this idea appeared, Smith himself dismissed it. Okuraja and Haywood's offensive approach is too one-dimensional, let them cover and everyone knows what they're going to do next, so it's too easy to defend, and Battier and Brand aren't vegetarians on the defensive end.

Smith shook his head bitterly, Villanova's lineup gave him a headache, and now North Carolina can only rely on Carter and Jamison, or Shamond, to see if the three of them can play a superstar, otherwise North Carolina will basically go far in this game.
