Chapter 34: Who We Are

In the last eight minutes of the game, Floyd replaced DeRozan, but there was still no plan to replace Wu Huang to rest for a while.

Wu Huang had seen Floyd ask Mugajin to warm up on the sidelines, and took the initiative to shake his head at his coach.

During this time, he kept the pace down, except for a few counterattacks to speed up, USC had to play a full 30 seconds every time to shoot. With this kind of slow-paced game, he has the stamina to last until the end of the game, and most importantly, he doesn't want to just lose his first fight.

"Enough rest?" Wu Huang whispered to DeRozan, who had just come on the court, without waiting for the other party to answer, and threw away another agitation method: "I know that you have always been unconvinced, now give you a chance to prove yourself, and watch your performance in the next five minutes." ”

Wu Huang has 24 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and this performance makes his agitation have a 100% probability of success. He has already decided that he has to do this to DeRozan if he has something to do this season, otherwise this kid will sometimes shrink.

"Hugo, go up and kill them! Hurry up and score! Chloe Moretz's popcorn was eaten up by Wu Zetian, the little girl didn't eat anything in her mouth, and she immediately couldn't stay idle, seeing that Wu Huang was still dragging the rhythm slowly, she was more anxious than the players at the University of Washington.

Wu Huang seemed to hear the voice of the little girl, and suddenly an acceleration broke through Isaiah Thomas, and then rushed straight to Brockman on the inside.

During this time, Wu Huang has been pressing the rhythm, concentrating on feeding his teammates, and rarely attacking himself, this time he took advantage of the opponent's slack psychology to launch a surprise attack.

No one expected him to break through with the ball suddenly, and Isiah Thomas couldn't react and couldn't catch up when he turned around. Brockman didn't expect Wu Huang to suddenly enter the inside line, and the filling position was also a beat slower.

Wu Huang jumped up against Brockman, raised his knees up, and pushed the latter out directly, and the basketball was put into the basket by him with the tips of his fingers.

"Toot!" Wu Huang didn't even look at it after he landed, and waved his hand fiercely, he knew that this ball would never blow himself for a foul.

The NBA and NCAA have strict rules on elbow raises, but the penalty for knee raises is much more ambiguous, basically only if the defender stands in position first, the offensive player will be whistled for a foul when he raises his knee. If the defender does not stand up in advance of the position, then he will not be fouled if he is overturned, unless the action is too bad, and it is different if he kicks directly.

It is an inevitable action for basketball players to raise their knees when they go to the basket, which is to have a buffer space when they land, and NBA players basically have knee raises when they go to the basket.

Brockman felt that he was being overshadowed, and he raised his knees, but he felt that the opposite side was obviously dark, and this knee went directly to the softest part of his abdomen, and the pain was so painful that he almost threw up, and he lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.

Wu Huang did add strength, originally he only planned to complete two plus one once, but the angle and position of Brockman made him lose control a little, and suddenly had an extremely familiar feeling, and his body subconsciously did something bad.

"Beautiful!" Gibson waved his arms off the court, and Brockman was fouled once by Wu Huang as soon as he came on the court, and now he has four fouls.

Floyd made a gesture to the players, a signal for them to start fighting back.

In the 5th minute and 15 seconds of the second half, Wu Huangjia hit a free throw, and the score was 61:62, and USC only trailed by one point.

The University of Washington called a timeout, and Romaar's instincts told him that the situation was not right, and after the timeout, he told his team to slow down the offensive tempo.

"Hell, this old fritter!" Floyd hated it, and the team was about to get up, but it was interrupted by a timeout on the other side, and when the game restarted, it was not known what would happen.

The two teams returned to the main force after a timeout, and the University of Washington handed the basketball to Brockman on the offensive end, and let their captain go to the opposing captain.

Roma was ruthless enough to have Gibson on the defensive side, and the offensive side of modern basketball has an advantage over the defensive side, especially when both men are carrying four fouls.

Gibson is in a bad situation right now, he can't shrink this ball, otherwise the team's morale will definitely be reduced, but if the defense moves a lot, it is also easy to be fouled by the opponent, which is a dilemma.

"Then don't choose!" Wu Huang didn't even think about it, so he directly put aside his defenders and entered the inside line to trap Brockman, even if he missed people, he had to keep the captain at this time.

Floyd secretly shouted "smart" on the sidelines, which is the embodiment of the big picture.

Brockman chose to pass the ball, and Bart hurriedly came to fill in the position of the boss.

Wu Huang feigned to switch to Bombset, but only halfway through the run, he braked sharply, turned and pounced, and he bet that the University of Washington would pass the basketball to Brockman again.

The players at the University of Washington were shocked, this time they were really guessed by Wu Huang, and the basketball was passed to Brockman again, but unfortunately he was destined not to get the ball.

Wu Huang used a football goalkeeper to pounce on the ball, and the whole person flew out, stretched out his long arm and gave the basketball to DeRozan.

DeRozan was convinced, this break was too critical, and immediately turned around after receiving the basketball, only Isiah Thomas at the University of Washington could keep up with DeRozan's speed, but the physical gap between the two was too big, DeRozan ignored his defense and dunked the basketball into the basket.

More than 30,000 fans in the memorial stadium raised 60,000 arms at the same time after DeRozan dunked the basketball into the stadium, and the entire stadium shook as if it were experiencing a magnitude 7 earthquake.

The noise made by more than 30,000 people together was enough to make an anemic patient feel dizzy, and the players of the University of Washington had their hearts racing for a while, and such a scene coupled with the blow caused by the mistake just now, their psychological defense began to fail, and these strong-willed guys were finally affected by the atmosphere of the home stadium.

After DeRozan landed, he turned to point to Wu Huang, and he really admired him from the bottom of his heart for the steal, and the score was 63:62, and USC finally overtook the score.

Wu Huang was also affected by the atmosphere of the scene, and asked loudly to the fans: "Who, We, Are!" ”

"We are the winners!"

"We are winners!"

"We are Trojans!"

Wu Huang couldn't help but laugh when he heard the fans' chaotic responses, and then shouted to his teammates: "Show them who we are!" (Let‘s・show・them・who・we・are)

The University of Southern California was encouraged by Wu Huang's morale, and the defense became airtight for a while, but the University of Washington, under the influence of the loud noise of more than 30,000 fans chanting "Who, We, Are" in unison, seemed to spin slower than usual, and could not concentrate at all.

Isaiah Thomas was caught outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a teammate on the weak side being released, and he didn't have time to think about how dangerous the pass was in this position, so he hurriedly hoisted the basketball over.

Gibson had been waiting for a long time, and with his brilliant explosiveness, he burst out of the box and jumped up to cut off the University of Washington's pass.

Wu Huang immediately turned around and went down quickly, DeRozan and Bart followed from both sides, and USC made a three-on-two frontcourt.

Bombset just retreated to the penalty area, Wu Huang has been bullied and killed, he has a lot of options now, but seeing Bombesett's position, Wu Huang immediately chose the most sure one, holding the basketball high with both hands to make the illusion of breaking to the right, the body took the initiative to find the other party, as soon as the two touched, Poundset was pushed away by Wu Huang's elbow, the referee's whistle sounded, and the basketball was thrown to the basket by Wu Huang at the same time.

"Huh!" After the basketball is played, it bounces into the basket accurately.

Bombset was pushed open by Wu Huang and couldn't cover the basketball at all, which was a perfect two-plus-one.

The cheers in the stadium were even better, and Wu Huang was not too excited this time, just waved his hand lightly and high-fived his teammates who came one by one to celebrate.

The University of Washington was counterattacked by consecutive broken balls, and morale fell to the bottom, and Romaar hurriedly called another timeout, but the game reached this point, and it was no longer realistic to use a timeout to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

Wu Huangjia hit a free throw to give USC a five-point lead.

After the game restarted, USC went back to full-court pressing.

Isaiah Thomas is too short to break through with a long pass, but if he chooses to break through, he will be just as vulnerable to being besieged by USC.

Wu Huang first forced Isaiah Thomas near the sideline this time, and DeRozan came up in time to wrap up, and the two teamed up to block Isaiah on the sideline, and the latter could only choose to smash the basketball at the two. Unfortunately, his luck was so bad that the basketball hit DeRozan and bounced back to himself, and finally went out of bounds, and the ball was back in USC's hands.

Isaiah Thomas' mistake was fatal, and USC then continued its efforts, Wu Huang broke through after blocking and assisting Bart to hit a three-point shot from the bottom corner, and USC went on a 10-0 attack wave in two minutes, and the score became 71-62.

Time was running out, and the University of Washington couldn't stop the slump after calling two timeouts, and finally ended the game with an 18-4 attack wave from USC in the final five minutes.

With the final score of 79:66, the University of Southern California defeated the University of Washington at home with Wu Huang's excellent performance and won the first victory of the regular season in the NCAA2008-2009 season.

Wu Huang played 34 minutes today, scoring 30 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and won the first "best of the game" honor in his NCAA career.
