Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Poisonous Tongue Talent
Rick Barry was slapped in the face, but still cheekily said: "Harden is playing more aggressively, he's got six points and two assists, I think he's a very creative player, he can control the game, he can find his teammates at the right time, I think his future is very bright." ”
The only Hall of Fame superstar who beat Chamberlain in scoring in the 60s can be regarded as the pride of white people, so even if he offends many people because of his stubbornness and poisonous tongue, his influence in the United States is still extraordinary, and his words can affect the impression of some fans on Wu Huang, unless he is slapped in the face just after speaking.
Wu Huang got 4 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds in eight minutes, his performance was obviously better, just look at the handsome gestures he plays every time he attacks and defends, you know what role he plays in this team, not to mention that the gap between Harden and Wu Huang in appearance is too big, this is very important, does anyone like a guy with a big beard?
At this time, some male fans who watch the game in front of the TV may be influenced by Barry Sr., but female fans don't care so much, they may not be able to understand all the rules of basketball.
The game restarted, and USC gathered on the sidelines, shouting, "Let's-show-them-who-we-are!" Show them who we are! ”
It is worth mentioning that since the first game of the regular season, Wu Huang shouted the majestic and domineering "Who-We-Are", these two sentences have become a must-shout program at USC before every game or when it is suspended.
USC also spoiled on its official website that Taylor Swift is currently writing a team anthem for the Trojans, which is called "Who-We-Are", and many Taylor Swift fans are looking forward to her new work. (Who-We-Are is a NIP battle song, which can be searched on Youku)
After the game restarted, the University of Arizona began to play zone defense to prevent the University of Southern California from running out of space with a small area of cooperation, and the University of Arizona now guards the box with two inside lines, and the other three players are each responsible for a piece of the outside line.
Scott Pera was worried about being used by the opponent to score in a misplaced attack, and this time he also made changes in personnel, using the 193cm tall Ty Abbott to replace the 183cm Derrick Glasser to increase the height on the court, and Harden is now officially playing the role of the team's No. 1 position.
Wu Huang and DeRozan both laughed, the former was happy that he was against Harden, and the latter was happy that he didn't have to play against Harden anymore.
"You can try to make my fouls, like with your beard." Wu Huang and Harden finally faced each other, throwing a trash word first, disgusting and disgusting opponents.
"Don't worry, your birthday wish will be fulfilled!" Harden held the ball and watched while sneering.
Floyd really wanted to let Wu Huang defend Harden at this time, four of the six points scored by the bearded man were scored by free throws, and DeRozan and Gibson each got a foul on him, and it can't go on like this.
Wu Huang and Harden stood together, and the most intuitive feeling of fans was that the former's body was two laps smaller than the latter, and the bearded man weighed 220 pounds, more than 40 pounds heavier than Wu Huang.
However, the game is not about who is heavy, otherwise O'Neill will win directly without fighting, and Wu Huang has his own way to deal with the fat man in front of him.
Harden held the ball at the top of the arc, and Wu Huang quickly attached it, holding his hands high to the sky, and his steps and hands were very clear.
Gibson quickly turned his attention to Harden on the inside, and Wu Huang had already discussed with him, once he and Harden were opposed, he would defend Harden's shots, and defend Harden's left hand, forcing him to break through with his right hand, that is, let him go on the right side.
At this time, Gibson must be prepared to help defend in advance, and once the two successfully block Harden in the middle, the other three USC players must immediately cut off Harden's passing path and prepare to break the ball and counterattack.
Poor Harden doesn't know that he has been targeted, and Wu Huang also doesn't know why he has so many ideas against Harden?
USC held a meeting two days ago to discuss the defensive issues of this game, and when it came to the problem of how to limit Harden, the whole team felt that it was tricky.
But Emperor Wu instantly came up with several ways in his mind, and after Freud heard it at that time, he was surprised and delighted, and even felt that his brain was not as fast as Emperor Wu.
Wu Huang believes that the first point of defending Harden is that he can't foul, but he can't get too far away in order to avoid fouls, which will give him a chance to shoot, so he must raise his arms high when defending closely, so that the referee can see clearly, and the most important thing is that the defender's pace must be faster than Harden.
The second stage is to force Harden, a left-hander, to use his right hand to control the ball and let him break through to the right, at this time, his explosiveness and confrontation ability after the breakthrough will be greatly reduced, and it is easy to break the ball.
In the third stage, the interior defenders must help defend in time, and they must stand in a good position in advance, and it is naturally best to make Harden's offensive fouls, and if they can't, they must also interfere with Harden's breakthrough and shooting.
USC is now in the final stages, and Harden is defended by Wu Huang from close quarters, unable to get a shot, and immediately breaks through with the ball. However, there was no space to break through on the left-hand side, so he could only turn to the right, but was blocked by Gibson in advance, and immediately fell into the front and back sandwich.
DeRozan and Bart surrounded at the same time, and the two were responsible for cutting off Harden's passing lanes and waiting for the pass to make a steal.
Harden couldn't advance or retreat at this time, so he could only choose to pass, but unfortunately his vision was blocked, and he was in an encirclement, and the basketball that passed out was cut off by DeRozan, and USC scored two points with a quick counterattack.
USC's trilogy of defending Harden is completely tailor-made for this beard, and Harden at this stage does not have the ability to break the defense.
Wu Huang's teammates don't know that in fact, there is a fourth stage in the plan, that is, to consume the physical strength of this dead fat man on the offensive end, which is a move that hurts people with this and is also the last straw that crushes Harden.
After this timeout, Wu Huang once again incarnated as the No. 2 position, and after completing the task of dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, he will transform into Ray Allen, running along the baseline constantly, running from left to right, and then from right to left, he wants to see if Harden follows or not?
Once the dead fat man runs around with him, the defensive end consumes too much physical strength, and the offensive end is even less threatening; If not, then he is ready to show Harden what will happen to a sharpshooter with a three-point shooting rate of more than 40% once he gets an open shot.
The game continued, and the home fans of the University of Arizona looked at Wu Huang, who was running all over the court, and Harden, who was tired of following him, and the word "walking the dog" was born in their hearts?
Many impatient Arizona fans have been scolding Wu Huang, but this can't stop Harden from chasing Wu Huang all over the court, and after only a few rounds, Harden feels that his physical exertion is like a unscrewed faucet, and he can't bear it like this.
Wu Huang weighed only 175 pounds, so of course he could stand running like this.
But he dragged his 220-pound body to run like this, it was unbearable, and if he continued to run like this, Harden felt that he had to vomit blood from exhaustion!
However, it wasn't the defensive end that made Harden the most embarrassed, it was his performance on the offensive end that was a big surprise.
Originally, the home fans saw Harden facing Wu Huang, the two were very different, it stands to reason that Harden could use his strength advantage to blow up Wu Huang, but the result was not as simple as they thought, Wu Huang used his footstep advantage to follow Harden closely, and his hands were always raised, not giving Harden a chance to foul at all.
Once he can't make a foul, Harden wants to break through Wu Huang, but he must first worry that he can't hit someone and foul.
The Chinese moved too fast, and every time he could firmly block Harden's left-hand direction, if he forced a breakthrough, he could only be fouled by Wu Huang for an offensive foul.
Wu Huang left some room to break through on Harden's right, and he lured Harden to break to the right.
Gibson stayed on the inside early, waiting for Lao and Wu Huang to complete the front and back strikes.
USC's targeted defense made Harden's breakthrough either a shot or a passing error and was counterattacked.
Barry Sr.'s face became more and more ugly, and he knew why Harden seemed helpless, because he, like the Cavaliers, did not have the ability to attack in the low post. If Harden can play with the ball in the low post and use his physical advantage, it will be easy to score points on Wu Huang.
But now Harden doesn't talk about low-post offense, even he hasn't practiced step-back shooting, what he relies on at the moment is nothing more than a breakthrough, a jump shot and a three-point shot after blocking and dismantling, but when he encounters a cunning opponent like Wu Huang, he doesn't have much to do.
"Why don't you play in the low post?" Emperor Wu once again defended closely, and took the opportunity to make a trash talk.
Harden didn't respond this time, the beard continued to be restrained on the offensive end, and USC widened the score gap to 10 points in the blink of an eye, and he was no longer in the mood to take advantage of the opponent's words.
"I see, are your hands too short? And you don't seem to be much taller than me, it's pathetic, and you can't jump high. Wu Huang's tone at this time was enough to make Harden smoke, "Come on, today's game is a national live broadcast, if you lose to me, the draft pick will be surpassed by me, so what's the point of your life." Emperor Wu spewed out this trash talk, and suddenly found that if he had a poisonous tongue, even he would be a little scared.
Harden was about to go crazy, this time he forcibly broke through from the left side, but as soon as the two came into contact, Wu Huang seemed to be pushed hard by the Hulk, screamed miserably in his mouth, and the whole person exerted force on the spot, his body flew backwards, and after landing, he slid on the floor for more than two meters, and was knocked out of the bottom line by Harden directly from near the free throw line.
"This Nima ......"
Harden himself was shocked, why didn't he expect that Emperor Wu would give him such a play?
However, what he didn't expect was that the referee actually awarded him an offensive foul!
