Chapter 61: Jack of the Counterattack

Jarrett. Jack's father, Carlton Jack, was a football player who passed on his athletic genes to Jarrett Jack. Jack, while mother Louise Jack taught her son how to be a good person.

A good upbringing environment for Jarret. Jack's later success played a key role in Jarrett Brown's high school career. Jack can shine no matter where he is, and he is a good student with all-round development of morality, intellect and body.

So after graduating, he successfully got an invitation letter from Georgia Tech and became a member of the board of directors of Georgia Tech. Bosh's teammates. Interestingly, Jarrett . Jack's team performance was not good when he partnered Bosh in his freshman year, but after Bosh left in his sophomore and junior years, he led the team to the NCAA tournament in a row, and Georgia Tech got better and better.

Jarrett. Jack always uses every opportunity to improve himself, from mentoring coaches, to star teammates, to other great point guards on TV.

Three years of college, Jarrett. Jack's performance has improved year by year, and in his sophomore season, Jack defeated the University of North Carolina Tar Heels in the Atlantic Coast Conference Division Championship with one second left to help the team win by one point. After entering the NCAA Tournament, the Hornets also made it all the way, scoring a career-high 29 points in the St. Louis Division Finals, helping the team defeat the Kansas Jayhawks in overtime to advance to the final four of the NCAA Tournament, and Jack himself was voted the most outstanding player in the division. In the end, the Hornets lost to the University of Connecticut Huskies and finished runner-up in the NCAA Tournament.

This year, the junior Jarrett . Jack has averaged 15.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, and has shot 51.4%, 44.2% and 86.6% from the three-point line and free throws, respectively.

But as a point guard, Jack happened to be in a big year in the point guard draft, and whether it was Paul of Wake Forest, Felton of the University of North Carolina and Delon of the University of Illinois, the draft pick has always been on his head.

Critics believe that there are no irremediable flaws in Jack that would limit his prospects in the NBA. But he looks like he's only going to be a good role player in the NBA, not a real big star. He can do everything well, but nothing is super, maybe except defensively. Not going to be a point guard averaging 20 points per game, but his stats make his teammates happy.

His selflessness can sometimes lead to mistakes. Not the most attractive player in the draft, there are a lot of people who are faster than him, have more vision than him, jump higher than him, and even have more upside, but no one is as solid as him.

A few years ago, everyone used to say that his most was outside shooting, so he practiced these very hard, about 500-600 a day, and this school year, his three-point shooting percentage is ironically the same as Duke's super shooter Redick, both at 41%. But of course he didn't shoot a lot, averaging only 3.5 shots per game. He's an assist-to-turnover ratio that's a big topic of discussion among critics, and 4.5 assists/3.5 turnovers is also very mediocre among point guards, and it does need to be more careful when it comes to possession. Overall, he has all the elements that the NBA requires, but he won't be labeled a superbull.

Jack doesn't like to deal with critics, he likes to prove himself to others with strength and performance. For example, Sun Yue, who is about to face each other tonight, is stronger than himself in the concept of the media and fans, and the most direct performance of Sun Yue's outstanding performance in the championship has made his draft pick climb all the way to the top ten, and his draft pick has been hovering in his twenties, no matter how good his performance is.

So in today's game, Jack showed 100% strength and behaved very seriously, which made Sun Yue, who was on the opposite side, very uncomfortable.

In fact, Jarrett . Jack is Sun Yue's most difficult opponent to deal with, with fast lateral foot movement, strong body, accurate mid-to-long shots, and a strong desire to attack than a desire to organize, which simply combines the characteristics of Sun Yue's fear.

Sun Yue moves laterally, has weak physical confrontation, and relies more on basketball IQ for defense, so he is not good at defending guards like Jack who are physically strong and like to solve problems through individual offense, on the contrary, Delong, a point guard who is physically strong and prefers to organize offenses, is not so much of a threat to Sun Yue.

Just a dozen minutes into the game, Jarrett . Jack scored 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting, the Wolverines couldn't limit Jack on the offensive end, Jack constantly used his physical advantage on the offensive end to force Sun Yue, although his back and back singles only turned around and broke through and turned jump shots, but it was enough to deal with such a scene.

The Wolverine team did not dare to easily trap Sun Yue, and the other players of the Georgia Tech Hornets also had a low offensive threat.

Sun Yue will rarely be suppressed in this way, Jarrett. Jack is the player he's ever seen who can take advantage of his body, and his skills aren't top-notch, but he can use them at the right time. And once he finds a weakness, he will use his strengths to attack repeatedly.

In this short ten minutes, Sun Yue felt extremely uncomfortable, and the players of the Wolverine team also felt this way, because the rhythm of this game was not in their hands most of the time, and their core player, Sun Yue, invested too much energy on the defensive end, which made Sun Yue not have much vitality on the offensive end, and the Wolverine team's offense was not fully opened.

A minute before the end of the first half, Sun Yue held the ball at the top of the arc, and after a poor performance, he was replaced by Coach Tom and rested for a few minutes to play again, and he knew that it was time for him to step up.

Jack used his strong body to squeeze Sun Yue and narrow his dribble space.

Sun Yue slammed the basketball from his right hand to his left hand, changing direction on the spot, so that Jack had to take a step to the left, Sun Yue quickly pulled the basketball back to his right hand, made a crossover, and then an acceleration wiped past Jack, and made a board jumper outside the penalty area, and finally scored his sixth point.

And it was Jack's turn to attack the last attack of the first half, he took a completely different offensive approach from Sun Yue, arching all the way from outside the three-point line to near the restricted area, attracting Taft to come over and wrap up, and pass the ball to the center in the gap, who scored easily under the basket to complete the last attack of the first half, helping the Hornets lead the Wolverines by 12 points at 46:34.

Jack played well in the first half, scoring 19 points and 3 assists on 7-of-11 shooting, completely suppressing Sun Yue's 6 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, if it weren't for Taft's 10 points and 7 rebounds in the first half, the Wolverines would have lost more.
