Chapter 57: This Tonight Is Mine

USC again used a high-post pressing tactic in the final five minutes, and Floyd had a reason to reuse an already failed tactic at this time.

By the time the game was played, the physical strength of the players of both teams had bottomed out, such as their small forward Bart Bligh, who would have been tired and vomited if he hadn't been replaced for a five-minute break.

But Wu Huang, DeRozan, and Gibson did not rest for a minute in this game, but they were still able to run and jump at this time, and there was no physical exhaustion at all, which is the gap in physical talent. These three don't usually work much harder than the others, but their physical fitness is just better than the other players.

Barnard and Bart had a five-minute break, and Floyd switched to the full starting lineup in the closing stages of the game to declare the game into the final showdown.

The players at the University of Arizona are not so vigorous, Harden's physical strength is not bad, but he can't withstand his 225-pound weight consumption, so his current physical condition is not good, at least he doesn't dare to attack with the ball continuously, and he needs to allocate his physical strength reasonably.

Jeff Ayres is full of energy, but their three-in-command Kukasca also hasn't rested much, and he is really tired and vomiting at this time.

The white forward at the University of Arizona didn't have as much physical strength as Bart, but he used him like DeRozan and Wu Huang, so it's no wonder that his physical strength doesn't have problems.

USC is still not holding Harden now, but Kuskas and the opponent's main point guard Derrick, these two guys are not in good physical condition now, Floyd wants to force Harden to go it alone, see how long this beard can last?

With a score of 65:56, the University of Arizona trailed by nine points.

Wu Huang has 20 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals, DeRozan has 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Gibson has 14 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks.

James Harden had 22 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Jeff Ailes had 19 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Kucasca had 8 points.

The University of Arizona attacked, Harden just arrived in the front court and found that his teammates were caught by the opponent again, but fortunately, Derrick was embarrassed in the first half, and this time the ball was very fast, and Kukasca received the ball.

Gibson misplaced the white shooter to defend him, Kukasca had no ability to break through, and just wanted to hand over the basketball to his teammates, when he found that Wu Huang let go of Derrick and was pounced on him.

Kukaska had a momentary pass opportunity at this time, but he was not confident enough in his passing skills, and Wu Huang was too fierce and the passing angle was not big enough, Kukaska did not dare to risk passing the basketball to Derek, who was let go.

Wu Huang and Gibson quickly brought Kukaska to a stoppage on the touchline, and USC quickly cut off his passing route, leaving him with no chance to pass.

"Toot!" A shrill whistle sounds!

Kukaska forced her way out in the face of a double scramble, and the referee blew the whistle for a walking violation, and the ball was returned to USC.

"Beautiful!" Bryant shouted off the court, this kind of defense is very morale-boosting, especially such a sensitive point difference, as long as USC scores the next goal, the point difference will widen to double digits.

Harden was extremely unhappy with Kukaska's mistake and signaled as he stepped back to why not split the ball earlier.

“Who-We-Are!” Seeing this, Wu Huang immediately shouted beside Harden, although he was aiming at his fans, but his intention was obvious.

“WE-ARE-LA!” USC fans have responded that they have already answered the dialogue dedicated to Emperor Wu, and they are very domineering to ignore UCLA, which means that only they can represent Los Angeles.

Lakers fans were not angry when they heard this, they knew that USC's sentence did not count the Lakers, and the two were not in the same league at all.

Harden's face was even more ugly, he didn't want to lose this game, let alone lose to Wu Huang again, so he couldn't help but complain about his teammates' mistakes before, and his mentality began to be unbalanced.

"You know, you've already lost, Nike is ready to sign me an $80 million sneaker contract, do you know what that means?" Emperor Wu's eyes were full of contempt, "This means that you are not my opponent at all, and I don't regard you as my opponent, you are just a passer-by on my journey." Of course, Wu Huang's words are nonsense, Nike didn't give him an offer for a sneaker contract at all, he was completely hitting the other party's self-confidence.

When Harden heard Wu Huang's words, anger did not occupy all his emotions, but jealousy, anger, shock, loss and other emotions all rose from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't even say how he felt now?

But one thing is for sure, Wu Huang's words are clearly trash talk, and the only use is to make Harden unable to concentrate and make his mentality disordered.

Wu Huang did it, his psychology was not in vain, and now he knows what kind of trash talk is better to use, and it doesn't have to be dirty.

DeRozan received the basketball and broke through Harden with a cross-step, and this time the beard seemed to be defending with his eyes.

The University of Arizona was completely unprepared, how could they have imagined that Harden would be broken by his opponent so easily?

DeRozan took two steps to the basket with the ball, and a tomahawk dunk widened the gap to 11 points.

The fans at the scene were boiling again, and they began to shout DeRozan's name, and the ball was really beautiful!

Wu Huang smiled slightly from a distance, except for him and Harden, no one knew how many roles he played in this ball, but it didn't matter, it always had to be a supporting role, right.

USC defense continued to use tight packs, and while it wasn't always successful, it was effective in limiting Arizona's offense.

After his teammates wasted a few valuable shooting opportunities, Harden stopped trusting others and finally fell into the solo battle that Floyd wanted to see.

In the last two minutes of the game, Wu Huang once again hit the opponent on the defensive end, this time he wrapped up Harden in time to cause the opponent's dribbling error, which was a game-deciding ball alternation!

With 1 minute and 58 seconds left in the second half, the score was 70:60, and the University of Southern California had the ball, and Wu Huang began to control the rhythm.

This time it was the turn of the University of Arizona to press, they had no choice, an attack in 35 seconds, if Wu Huang used up the attack time every time, the remaining time would not be enough for them to overtake the score.

However, this kind of blind pressing is difficult to achieve, especially Wu Huang can't feel any pressure on the opposite Derek, Harden and Kukaska don't have much energy left, and the two presses of the University of Arizona not only didn't work, but allowed Wu to complete a layup and an assist, and the difference was widened to 12 points in a blink of an eye.

“MVP”“MVP”!

The Staples Arena was always shouting, but this time it was no longer No. 8 and No. 24, but a Chinese player wearing the No. 14 jersey.

So far, there is not much suspense about the outcome of this game.

The University of Arizona is getting more and more impatient, the defensive end has long been fragmented, and the offensive end is also a mess, with Harden playing alone.

Floyd did not replace the main team of the team, Wu Huang rose up on the court to brush the data, anyway, the opposite side is now in a collapse, he has too many opportunities to score and brush assists, and now he only got 22 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, compared to Harden did not have the absolute upper hand, how can this work?

Wu Huang had the idea of brushing the data in his heart, but he didn't ignore the overall situation, he still spent the offensive time in the last few attacks, and then used two unreasonable breakthroughs to successfully increase his scoring data by 4 points, and the defensive end also grabbed a rebound on Gibson's head, and finally gave DeRozan, who also wanted to brush points, an assist.

"Toot!" The referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the match.

Wu Huang deliberately threw the basketball above his head in front of Harden, and then jumped up and slammed DeRozan, who was playing handsome, directly knocking the little to the floor. Then the 100-meter sprint generally killed in front of Floyd, gave the head coach a big hug, and by the way, left a stinky sweat on the latter's suit!

DeRozan, who is lying on the ground at the moment, and Floyd, who is being held in sweat, all want to be dogs!

Wu Huang quickly snatched the champagne that the team had prepared, turned around and sprayed at Bart and Gibson, and ran away.

"We are champions!" Emperor Wu is so clever, he didn't give these people a chance to retaliate back at all, and jumped directly on the technical table, raising his hands high, as if he was dominating the world.

The Staples Arena was releasing a mountain of cheers, and Emperor Wu was indeed very excited at the moment, this was another championship for him, and he would never get tired of this kind of winner's taste!
