Chapter 20: Kemba Walker

Chloe Moretz and Wu Huang's father sat behind the home team's bench, but there was still a certain distance from the players, the little girl was holding a large glass of strawberry milkshake in her hand, and shouted Wu Huang loudly for a long time before the game, but she couldn't hear it at all, so angry that she wiped out half of the big drink in a blink of an eye.

Then the little girl suddenly remembered that Emperor Wu seemed to say that she was fat last time, and immediately reluctantly put down the milkshake and replaced it with ordinary juice.

Wu Zetian really brought his little neighbor to watch the game today, the Moretz family has been neighbors with them for several years, and Wu Zetian's identity as a police officer still trusts him very much.

But he really has some ulterior motives, Wu Huang has never known, his parents are very fond of Chloe Moretz, it can be said that they love each other, and they are actually thinking that they will turn the little girl into a daughter-in-law in the future, so as soon as they heard that Chloe Moretz wanted to come to the game, Wu Zetian agreed without saying a word.

Wu Huang naturally didn't know what his parents were thinking, and at the moment he was looking at Jerome Dawson in the opposite half, according to his team's scouting report, this is a traditional PG, good at defense, with mediocre offensive talent, but can faithfully execute team tactics.

This type of player has a very low presence on the field and rarely shines, but there are no major mistakes.

At the start of the game, Tabit jumped the ball and won easily, and USC went on defense.

The NCAA has many differences from the rules of the NBA and international basketball, such as offensive time, which began in 1985 when the NCAA introduced 45 seconds of offensive time, which was later shortened to 35 seconds, which is still used today.

Dawson received the basketball and slowly dribbled to the court, not worrying about an 8-second violation.

The NCAA rules say that the offensive team must bring the ball to the front court within 10 seconds after serving from the baseline, while in the NBA, the time is 8 seconds. However, like the NBA, the NCAA also has a 3-second limit when attacking. That is, the offensive team must not stay in the paint area for more than 3 seconds.

The biggest difference between the two leagues is that the NCAA does not have a 3-second defense limit, and the defender can stay in the box all the time, so a player like Tabit becomes extremely dangerous, and if he doesn't come out, it will be difficult for the offensive team to get to the basket.

Wu Huang couldn't find a chance to break the ball, and he didn't rush to steal, just stand in his position.

Dawson transferred the basketball to the wing, and the UConnt wing players hoisted the basketball into the inside, which is a bit like the Houston Rockets, in the words of a reasonable teacher, this style of play is INSIDEOUT, pass out and play back, pass out and play back, you rush, he defends, and then points, outside shots and shooting percentage, such a team is difficult to defend.

As soon as Thabit received the basketball, Gibson came from the weak side.

USC plays a 122-zone pressing position, and as soon as Thabit catches the ball, players who are close will come forward and pinch it.

AJ Price received a basketball from the outside, shot from the start, and scored the first point of the game, which was a three-pointer.

Tabit is still incomparable to Yao Ming, his ability on the offensive end is very poor, which is mainly due to the fact that he came into contact with basketball too late and his basic skills are not up to par. In fact, until now, he has not developed offensive ability, and he is good at defense and secondary offense after grabbing rebounds in the front court, and scoring basically relies on dunks and leaks.

USC scouts don't know where they got the news, but it's a bit of a shame to say that Tabit's offensive ability has improved dramatically.

The only thing Thabit has strengthened on the offensive end this season is his playmaking, which is aided by his height advantage, which allows him to throw the basketball to his teammates on the perimeter after being caught in a trap.

After three minutes of play, the USC players quickly discovered that they had overestimated the big man, who had just made a three-shot shot under a basket that almost hit Gibson and caused laughter in the arena.

Floyd was looking for a scout report on the sidelines, and he wanted to see if this guy was the one who said that Wu Huang had a bad sense of the ball last time, and the new and old accounts had to be settled together this time.

Wu Huang received the backcourt serve, and he was also a little funny in his heart.

So far in the game, he has only made one three-point shot, but unfortunately missed.

In the last offense, Wu Huang blocked and dismantled the ball to the empty cut Bart, but unfortunately the latter's layup was taken down by Thabit.

Although this big black man is not strong on the offensive end, his power on the defensive end should not be underestimated.

In this attack, Wu Huang dribbled the basketball to the front court, did not call for blocking, and the shoulder on the dribbling side shook to the left, and Dawson could only move half a step slightly.

Wu Huang took advantage of the situation to pull the ball, changed direction slightly, and used the more outstanding explosiveness after more than a month of training, and broke through the opponent in just one step.

The Kangda players hurriedly made up the defense, Wu Huang did not go deeper, and suddenly stopped the jump shot when he reached the free throw line, and the basketball was thrown by him in a beautiful posture, and it fell into the basket with a "bang".

The fans at the scene finally applauded and cheered for Wu Huang's wonderful goal, which was the first point he scored in this game and the first point of his college career.

Wu Huang is a right-handed player, the shooting posture is a bit like Ray Allen, the elbow is slightly inward, the viewing degree is almost the same, the shooting speed is also very fast, the arc of the basketball flight is slightly higher, the parabola is very good, most of his goals do not touch the frame, directly brush the net.

Jerome Dawson's defense was too close this time, and the CTA scout report recorded the characteristics of Wu Huang University before Wu Huang University, which said that he had a high basketball IQ and accurate shooting, but he had no breakthrough ability, so Dawson's close defense was no problem, and he could only blame the intelligence for not being accurate enough.

Jim Cajon frowned on the sidelines, this Chinese breakthrough just now did not drag the slightest bit of mud, and it didn't look like he didn't have the ability to break through.

UConn offense, and this time they found that USC no longer had Thabit, and center Barnard was holding Thabit behind him, not letting the big man into the paint, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Tabit has no ability to score outside the box at all, and even in the box, he doesn't have many ways to score, as long as someone resists him, Tabit can only use his height to rush for rebounds.

Jim Cajon doesn't care about Tabit not being able to score, he put four small men with strong scoring ability on the court, in order to make up for the lack of Tabit's scoring ability, this black big man was originally the role of the defensive cornerstone + rebounding guardian in the team.

The loophole of the University of Southern California is not on the inside at the moment, but in the second position, Nathan Booch faced AJ Price, who can shoot suddenly, this game was very weak, he could not prevent the opponent's breakthrough, nor the opponent's shot, and was completely blown out!

Despite this, USC didn't fall far behind in the score, and Wu Huang finally got into the game three minutes into the game, first breaking through and scoring two points on a pull-up jumper, and then playing with Gibson to block and hit another mid-range shot, and his projection ability was indeed as accurate as written in the UConn scouting report.

UConn's players began to pay attention to Wu Huang's defense, but the Chinese American once again showed that the scouts did not have the ability to report.

Wu Huang continued to block and dismantle with his teammates on the outside, and after breaking through to attract the defense, he assisted Gibson for a layup and Bart for a three-point shot.

Jerome Dawson was soon blown up, and he found that he couldn't predict what the Chinese in front of him would do next.

Will he pass the ball, or will he attack on his own?

Wu Huang's fast shooting and elusive distribution after the block made the Kangda players very embarrassed, to be honest, this Asian's passing skills have not yet reached the point of seeing the seams, and the pass is not difficult to steal the ground, and the ball speed is not particularly fast, but it is always elusive, and the Kangda players can't guess his passing intentions, so they can't predict the steal.

If Wu Huang's passing mastery of what kind of essence, it is a "trick" word, his passing timing is elusive, this is also Wu Huang's passing skills before the practice of expedient, once it is targeted to defend, it is difficult to be so comfortable.

At 13 minutes and 15 seconds of the first half, the score was 17:16, and USC led UConn by one point.

During this time, Wu Huang was the most outstanding player in the game, he first used his personal offense to help the team bite the score, and then continued to block and dismantle with his teammates, using the breakthrough ball to revitalize the whole team, and successively sent assists to his teammates, and cut down 8 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in just 7 minutes, and his performance made everyone shine.

The two teams then switched to the bench, Floyd still did not replace DeRozan, and now even the home fans think that DeRozan may be injured, but fortunately they found an unexpectedly good point guard.

The NCAA game is divided into two halves, each of which lasts 20 minutes with a 15-minute break, which is another difference from the NBA.

Wu Huang rested off the court for five minutes, but it was these five minutes that everyone saw the difference between him and not on the court.

Kangda not only overtook the score in these five minutes, but also widened the difference to 8 points in one go.

New arrivals Kemba Walker and Jerome Dawson are two different types of players, with the former being known for his explosiveness in high school, seemingly unstoppable when he rushes, and a perfect combination of speed and footwork and aggression. Kemba Walker can score from anywhere on the court, using step-backs, changes of direction, and a variety of feints to shake off defenders and create space for himself to shoot.

Mugaquin is actually this type of point guard, but he is one level behind in terms of explosiveness, speed, and impact, and he is completely suppressed in the face of Kemba Walker.

"Hugo, this kid isn't slower than you." Bart couldn't help but praise Kemba Walker, who fell to the ground after the layup, still waving his fists.

"He's really fast, he has to predict when he defends, and when he breaks through, he will intercept it, it's too late." Wu Huang is best at defending breakout maniacs like Kemba Walker, and the last thing he wants to deal with is Curry who he met at the Nike Summit, and Harden, an opponent like Harden who is not physically bad, but likes to play with skill and brain, because this kind of player is difficult to predict, and he himself has this style.

Before the two could finish speaking, Kemba Walker accelerated from the midfield, first forced a break through Mujakin, then accelerated again outside the three-point line, forced an overtake of Edmund Tamar, and finally hit the basket, jumped into the air to dodge Gibson's block and score the ball.

In this round, Kemba Walker beat three people in a row and played the entire USC defense.

Wu Huang applauded Kemba Walker from the sidelines, and it was a truly spectacular goal.

The fans at the scene were also stunned by this little man, this backup guard of Kangda is too exciting, how can he be replaced?

Freud was very dissatisfied with Mugakin's defense, and made a substitution arrangement in advance, replacing Mugajin with Wu Huang.

In the 8th minute and 22 seconds of the first half, the score was 21:29.

Kemba Walker scored eight points after hitting the free throws, and it took him just five minutes to score the same score as Wu Huang.

Wu Huang returned to the court, Taylor Swift and Christine joined the home fans in cheering him on, Wu Huang's previous performance made a good impression of USC fans, and now the fans hope that he can perform well again and not be compared to the backup point guard opposite.
