Chapter 63: It's Really Good to Bully
An honest man like Turner, if you bully him, he will choose to avoid it ninety percent, which is called not having the same knowledge as you. But if you bully it very much, this kind of honest person starts a fire, it is also very terrible. Emperor Wu decided not to take this road, in case he provoked others to explode, it would really be self-defeating, and it would be better to be safe in a game that would determine the outcome of the game.
Wu Huang chose to play the good guy and was prepared to play a little more aggressively, forcing Turner to respond to him.
This is the rhythm of the game that he is best at, but the latter is not necessarily good at it, so the odds of winning are naturally higher for him.
Not long ago, Kidd said that he could see his own shadow in Wu Huang, whether it was his all-round ball style, quick tackles, or finding his teammates in the open space between the moves. However, Kidd also admitted that there is one thing that Wu Huang cannot compare, that is, his strong firepower on the offensive end, so Wu Huang has never been afraid to fight against people.
On the other hand, a player like Turner, let him pass one and shoot another, this is the rhythm he is good at.
This type of player is the best at creating scoring opportunities for himself and helping his teammates create scoring opportunities, once they get 20+ points and more than 5 assists, it is really difficult to do. Only by letting him keep throwing or passing all the time can he limit his play.
Wu Huang glanced at Maddie, who was already asleep, and secretly thought in his heart: "Don't talk about you Maidi, even if it was the real Maddie a few years ago, everyone is so guarded." ”
Today's Ohio big starting lineup: Remy Simmons 191cm, Joan Diebler 198cm, Evan Turner 203cm, Dallas Lauderdale 206cm, Byron Mullens 213cm.
Floyd pointed out several of Ohio's main offensive points before the game, and Evan Turner needless to say, Joan Diebler at the No. 2 position is a white shooter who shoots 42% from three-point range, and his flaw is that he doesn't have the ability to attack with the ball on his own, but he has excellent running ability without the ball, and he is a threat to them.
Ohio also had William Buford on the bench, a sixth man who didn't shoot as accurately as Joan, but was athletic and had some offensive ability with the ball, and was also a threat.
Finally, Byron Mulens, this is a tall white insider, 213cm tall and weighs 260 pounds, this big man who should fight his opponent on the inside no matter how you look at it, is actually a pseudo-inside who likes to float on the outside, and his offensive style tends to be Yi Jianlian, mainly focusing on mid-to-long-range jump shots.
Ohio State is not bad overall, with one of these four players at least a first-round rookie and the other three all having a chance to compete for a second-round pick, with the No. 8 seed in the Midwest region already indicating.
"Let's go, as long as I win this one, I can enter the Sweet Sixteen." Neither Christine nor Taylor Swift were there today, but Wu Huang's heart was still excited, and he liked the feeling of being noticed by countless people.
Barnard lost the opening jump shot as usual, and USC took the lead in defense.
Ohio point guards play a role in the game, a bit like the big Arizona point guards, and Turner, like Harden, will take on a lot of point guard responsibilities.
Floyd used the high press again today, and Turner's ball handling skills were a little worse than Harden's, so maybe this time the press tactics worked?
Wu Huang followed the tactics that the team had been practicing and found that Turner was receiving the basketball on the wing, and after he began to stop and observe, he immediately stepped forward to unfold the bag with Bart.
"It's so naïve that I want to stop and observe." Wu Huang secretly thought in his heart, "How can this kind of competition give you time to think fully, and you haven't experienced a big scene at first glance." ”
Turner's vision and ball speed were really not as good as Harden's, and Wu Huang's pace was fast, and by the time Turner reacted, he was already caught between the two.
DeRozan and Gibson quickly converged, and in the blink of an eye, the USC defense was concentrated on Turner's left half, and the entire weak side (referring to the weaker side with fewer defenders) was emptied.
The execution of USC's regional pressing tactics is a little stronger at this moment than it was against Arizona some time ago, and it can be seen that they have not given up practicing this pressing tactic during this time.
Turner hurriedly threw the basketball to the weak side, and Gibson jumped hard in the middle and reached for the basketball.
Once USC is encircled, if you want to pass the ball, there are only two results, either it will be broken as it is now, or it will be passed too high and the basketball will fly directly out of the court.
Wu Huang received the ball and quickly attacked the frontcourt, DeRozan on that side moved faster, Wu Huang just arrived in the midcourt, and the black boy had already run outside the opponent's three-point line.
"Mom, I run so fast every time like this." Wu Huang was too lazy to run again when he saw this, and a long pass directly found DeRozan, and the opening of USC was a violent dunk after a counterattack with a broken ball!
USC gave the opponent a kick-off on the defensive end, and on the offensive end, they made a special move today with a double positioning.
With or without the ball, Gibson and Barnard will always stand in the high post, and Bart and DeRozan will stand on either flank or in the bottom corner, giving up the high post to Wu Huang alone, and let him use these two walls to make a fuss here.
If Ohio State adopts a bag defense, Wu Huang will immediately divide the basketball to the weak side; If he doesn't have a pack, he uses the cover to find an opportunity to shoot or drive to the basket.
Not to mention, Ohio State really adopted a trap tactic, as soon as Wu Huang is close to the three-point line, the nearby defenders will immediately come up and force it.
USC already had a plan, as long as the opponent caught Wu Huang with a pack, Gibson immediately left the line, turned around and went straight to the basket.
At this time, Wu Huang had a penalty area and two weak sides, a total of three passing points.
Even if Ohio's defense rotates in time, no matter how bad Wu Huang is, he can pass the basketball to Barnard, who is still in the middle, and let him help pass the basketball in his hand, in short, he can't make any mistakes.
Gibson received a ground-hitting pass from Wu Huang under the basket this time, and rushed to put the basketball board into the basket before helping to defend, and USC's offensive tactics were successfully executed.
Ohio State head coach Ted Mata feels a little bit bad, and almost all of what they know about USC comes from game footage, but it's one thing to "see" and another to actually get started.
In the national championships, all teams actually have a little understanding of their opponents, and it is difficult for everyone to formulate a targeted defensive plan before the game, and it is more about showing their strengths.
But now it seems that their opponents are more prepared than they are, which is not good!
Turner was a lot more cautious on Ohio's second offense, but with USC's swift pack, he was still a little slow to play the ball and a little less selective in his passing options.
This is the difference between a pure point guard and a pseudo point guard, Wu Huang had to face a bag in every game in the regular season, and now he has enough contingency plans to face this kind of defense.
The easiest way to do this is to use his footwork and improving ball control skills to quickly pull to the sides or behind him, and in an instant he can take a big step away from the defender. At this point, he has plenty of room to make the next breakthrough or continue to deliberately pull the opposition's defense, attracting the defense and creating offensive opportunities for his teammates.
The core of these two teams is also facing the bag, Wu Huang's ball speed and passing options are obviously much better, in the eyes of fans watching from God's perspective in the stadium and in front of the TV, even if they can't see the specific tactics, they can also feel that Wu Huang is more comfortable with the bag, and the pass is more comfortable, and basically can't find any fault.
Ohio's flaws were found from the start, and although Turner's ball-handling ability was not bad, it was a gap when compared with Wu Huang.
The Chinese rushed left and right on the court under the cover of two interior teammates, and Ohio University had to deploy at least three players in the middle to ensure that he did not find a shooting opportunity, but the defense under the basket and on both wings could not be taken care of.
Ohio State had problems on both the offensive and defensive ends, and they couldn't defend against Wu Huang and were at a loss for USC's pressing tactics.
Neither Turner nor main point guard Remy Simmons were able to create opportunities for their teammates on their own offense, and they were always a beat slower to play the ball in the bag, and they were unable to command the team with ease in the bag.
"Is it any wonder the media didn't add him to the list of the seven best college players of the year, all-round? I don't think so! Halfway through the first half, Wu Huang had already contributed 4 points and 4 assists, and he couldn't help but glance at Turner, who was full of anxiety on the other side, and felt a little contempt in his heart.
The score was 18:11, Wu Huang's breakthrough ball could not be suppressed under the simple double cover of the line, and the University of Southern California didn't even come up with a trick, and Ohio State was about to be overwhelmed.
