Just 4 minutes and 13 seconds into the game, Smith called a timeout. It's not his style, but it looks like the timeout is going to be a must, as the score is now 15-4 and North Carolina is 11 points behind.

Carter sat back in his place in shame and covered his head with a large towel, and Smith glared at him helplessly, but said nothing. After all, such a thing is a little inappropriate on the surface, and now is not the time to hold accountable, how to limit Maddie is the priority of the current North Carolina team.

Smith was silent for a moment, tapped on the tactical board, and said loudly, "Boys, don't keep your head down like an ostrich, okay?" We are one of the most prestigious giants in North Carolina, the NCAA, and it is not the first time that we are 11 points behind our opponents, but we have been able to achieve the ultimate victory every time, and I believe this one will be no exception! ”

"I think everyone should be very clear about the situation now, Maddie is the core of Villanova's core, as long as we limit his play, we have a good chance to win this game! Therefore, after the timeout, Antoine and Vince must try to contain Maddie as much as possible, and the others must also run more aggressively and not let him have a comfortable pass. As long as we can force him to attack with the ball on his own, we can be invincible, understand? ”

Everyone was shocked, and Jamison and Carter, who were sent to wrap up Maddie, were even more like chicken blood. Last season, North Carolina rarely offered their duo of two, but as long as this tactic is used, there are basically no wing players in the entire NCAA who can break through, and in their opinion, Maddie will definitely not be that exception.

In his previous life, whether it was Carter or Jamison, the first impression was that they were fierce generals who attacked the city, and few people would care about their outside defensive ability, and the same was true for Chang Wei. So when he saw that the head coach of North Carolina asked Carter and Jamison to wrap up Maddy, he was a little surprised, but it was only surprised.

It is very clear how strong Maddie is, and after the special training, Maddie can open six or four or even seven or three in the face of Carter, but it will be difficult to deal with the addition of Jamison. One obvious reason is strength, Carter is indeed a swingman on the guard, but Jamison was put in the No. 4 position and Bland in this game, so you can imagine how much power this guy does not look strong in his body.

After the game restarted, Maddie was quickly restricted, but Chang Wei was not worried, to be precise, the whole team of Villanova was not worried, although the organization of forwards is the team's main tactic, and Maddie is the core player of this strategy. North Carolina thinks that restricting Maddie is equivalent to restricting Villanova, but this idea is actually not ordinary ridiculous.

Just like no one puts all their eggs in one basket, Rappers never focused entirely on Maddie and playmaking striker tactics. In fact, this is also Chang Wei's suggestion, as long as the head coach with a little level can see Maddy's position in Villanova's tactical system, and there is no guarantee that any team does not have a strong outside gate, so it is logical to equip the team with a planB.

That is, this summer, Villanova recruited three top high school stars in one go, otherwise this plan has no basis for implementation. Although Brand lost to Maddy in the competition for the heart of the team, Rappers assured him that the playmaker's tactics would still be in his playbook and would work at certain times.

Like now!

Any manager wants his team to be multi-core and hates to face multi-core opponents, because two or more cores are far more difficult to defend than a single core. For Rappers, having both Brand and Battier in addition to Maddy is undoubtedly blissful, meaning Villanova is theoretically an undefensible team.

Smith was initially complacent about restraining Maddie, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore, and while Villanova didn't make any substitutions, their tactics had changed dramatically. Brown dribbled the ball across half court and handed it directly to Brand, who was pulled near the free-throw line, while others began to run empty-handed, including Maddie, who had been in charge of organizing the offense.

Compared to other teammates, Maddy's air cut is more powerful, after all, he can adjust himself after receiving the ball, so Brand can also pass the ball when he sees some opportunities that are not particularly perfect, and then let Maddie use his personal ability to score the ball.

Villanova's five players have a clear division of labor, with Brand and Maddy working together, Brown and Battier waiting outside the three-point line for the ball inside, and Allen ready to cover Maddy or fight for offensive rebounds.

For a moment Smith even felt the urge to cry out loud, and this kind of pure movement is a huge blow to any manager, as it can make your team's defense feel like paper. In the past, when Maddie organized the offense, there were more or less individual singles, but now Villanova's individual singles are almost non-existent, and they are constantly running, receiving, running, and receiving the ball until they can easily put the ball in the basket.

On the contrary, North Carolina's own offense and defense were dragged down, Carter and Jamison were at a loss in the face of Maddy's ghostly off-ball running, and Jamison had to choose to defend Brand and let Carter chase Maddie alone. The point is that Maddie didn't plan to catch the ball either, so he took Carter around in the half, exhausting the latter and panting. At the same time, Jamison couldn't stop Brand's pass, and could only watch as Villanova's players kept scoring.

At halftime, North Carolina was already trailing by as many as 18 points at 32-50, and Villanova's 50 points at halftime was a testament to their strong offensive firepower. What's more, Maddie and Brand combined for 12 assists in the first half, completely revitalizing the entire team, you must know that the whole team only handed out 10 assists in the first half.

The reporters on the sidelines were very excited, they could already see a top team on the rise, and the key point was that Villanova's style of play was very flashy, which will undoubtedly attract fans to the stadium, which is also what the NCAA loves. But that's not a good thing for other teams, at least none of the NCAA head coaches watching on TV have figured out how to deal with Villanova.

Even North Carolina can't handle it, is there any hope for other teams?
