Chapter Eighty-Nine: Thinking Too Beautifully
The University of Southern California, under the leadership of Wu Huang, began to deliberately cause destruction.
Danny. Green was the first to make the move, and he carried himself twice in an unnecessary foul not long ago, but North Carolina did not dare to replace the forward easily, and the result was a better cup.
Wu Huang's continuous counter-run caused Danny. Green switched defenses and eventually forced a breakaway to cause his third foul, and the best defender on the perimeter was forced off the bench at UNCA.
Floyd hurriedly replaced DeRozan, and for most of the first half, DeRozan was facing Green's change of defense, and Ellington's defense was not bad, but it couldn't freeze DeRozan, but Green had the strength to do so.
In the ensuing game, North Carolina experienced a scoreless score for about 3 minutes, but USC scored in a row.
DeRozan couldn't hold it down after he came on the court, and the little took the opportunity to break through with the ball on both wings, one broke through and caused a foul to stand on the free throw line, and once he used his ability to stay in the air to dodge the block under the basket and go up the ball, USC's No. 2 attacker finally found the game after Green went off the court.
Wu Huang had been carrying it alone for more than ten minutes, and these teammates finally began to perform, and USC's offense turned into a multi-point flower, and soon led by 10 points at 39:29.
Roy. Williams called a timeout, and at a time when USC's offense suddenly seemed like a tidal wave, and North Carolina's defense was no longer solid.
After returning from a timeout, NC executed something and Hansbrough hit another shot from beyond the three-point line.
Gibson in Dieng. Thompson went off the court to defend Hansbro himself, but he still couldn't limit the captain of the University of North Carolina.
Hansbrough is averaging 20.7 points per game this season, making him the top scorer in North Carolina. Gibson played the white interior star for the first time today. There was no good way to deal with it for a while. The North Carolina captain led the team to a 6-0 run, saving the University of North Carolina from a crumbling situation.
Emperor Wu was about to fight back, but unexpectedly, the little man in his opposite position gave him a knife first.
The game went too well, and he underestimated this Ty. Lawson, this guy is also the No. 2 scorer in North Carolina, and he has only scored 2 points in Wu Huang's defense so far today, and his performance is not much better than DeRozan.
But just like DeRozan, it will be difficult for Emperor Wu to block Lawson all the time. The shortest guy on the court took the opportunity to score five points in a row, and North Carolina's personality of playing against the wind was once again on display, and it was hard for you to break them down in waves.
DeRozan's scoring momentum is also unstoppable, Wu Huangzhi doesn't want to score too much, he has a triple-double, so as long as his teammates can score, he is happy to pass the ball.
In the last 3 minutes of the first half, DeRozan received a pass from Wu Huang and hit a layup. Although Ellington of North Carolina hit a three-pointer, it was on the offensive that followed. Wu Huang assisted Gibson in the air relay again, and USC led by seven points at 45:38 in the first half.
Wu Huang played the whole half. contributed 23 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in the all-around data, he has exceeded the task in scoring and rebounding, but the number of assists is still a lot worse.
Charles. Barkley said at half-time: "Tate. Lawson scored just seven points in the first half, but he was on the court and deserved a spot in the 2009 Lotto show. ”
Kenny. Smith laughed: "If you were a regular spectator of this game, then you would probably agree with Charles." But here's the thing: decide Thai. Lawson's draft pick in more than 2 months is not an ordinary audience. We look at every player on the TV with our own eyes, but they are used to measuring with a ruler. ”
The problem that the two are talking about is actually the decisive height talent in basketball.
The difference between the so-called measurement and measurement is: looking with your eyes. Players like Lawson are among the best point guards on the NCAA finals stage; When measured with a ruler, he is a small man with a height of less than 1.80 meters, and he does not have much cultivation value.
In the second half of the game, Wu Huang took the lead in standing up and scoring, and it was face-to-face in Thailand. Lawson hit a three-pointer on the head, and then a strong burst on the top of the game. Lawson scored a goal from an overhead shot.
This is the passivity brought about by the lack of height, and a goal like Wu Huang's has seriously damaged the morale of the University of North Carolina, and if you change a team, I am afraid that it will have been collapsed long ago.
USC's tactics in the second half were to continue to inflict damage. Lawson and Ellington have already committed two crimes. Green was fouled three times, and all four of NC's main players were in foul trouble.
Emperor Wu took the lead, even if his breakthrough could not shake off Tai. Lawson, too, has to burst inside as much as possible to shoot, so that it can get a foul.
At halftime, Wu Huang thought clearly under the reminder of the coaching staff, anyway, he has a height advantage, and it will be difficult for the University of North Carolina to block his breakthrough shot if he does not assist in defense, which is how he lured the University of North Carolina to wrap himself. Taking a step back, even if the University of North Carolina still doesn't cover it, as long as Thai. As soon as Lawson's defensive move is made, he may receive a foul, so that Wu Huang has also completed the team's tactical goal.
Wu Huang's goal is to attract the bag and brush the assist.
The team's goal is to kill and foul.
His own mission and the team's mission are actually not in conflict, Wu Huang's breakthrough can attract the bag and also create damage, which is a way of playing with two birds with one stone.
The University of North Carolina continued to rely on their execution to score, and the two sides did not give in to each other, and there was a lot of physical contact on the court, although there were some mistakes, but because both teams were able to defend in time, so after the start of the second half, no one scored.
After Wu Huang started the second half, several breakthroughs did not lead to fouls, and the referee obviously relaxed the scale of punishment, but fortunately, there was no foul on his own side's physical contact.
After 4 minutes, the two sides began to score, and Wu Huang assisted Bart to hit a low-post shot, and finally got his fifth assist.
"It's not okay to fight like this, if it doesn't hurt them, these bastards would rather lose the game than trap me." Wu Huang found that with such a frequency of only getting an assist in three to five minutes, it was difficult to guarantee that he could get double-digit assists by the end of the game.
The University of North Carolina scored four points in a row by taking advantage of the run. Then Thai. Lawson finally hit a three-pointer in front of Wu Huang with a cold shot. Got some face back.
Emperor Wu made up his mind completely this time. No matter how much it doesn't matter, he has to resolutely dribble and break through inside.
Probably because of the defensive limitations of North Carolina, USC's outside shooting today is relatively average, mainly relying on Wu Huang's feel, but the mid-range shooting USC is very accurate, and Wu Huang's breakthrough at the moment is mostly a mid-range pull-up jump shot. Lawson's head was plucked.
Emperor Wu has a huge advantage in height, and Tai. Lawson was given back-to-back points by him over the head. Although he wanted to rely on a breakthrough to return the color, in the face of Wu Huang, who had already prepared, and the same solid defense line of the University of Southern California, Tai. Lawson's breakthrough is hardly a threat.
In the first 10 minutes of the game, the score was 56:45, and USC relied on Wu Huang's onslaught to build an 11-point lead.
The cheers of the USC fans at this time have overshadowed the North Carolina fans, just like the advantage that their team has built on the field.
Wu Huang's purpose of attacking with a lot of balls is to hope that the University of North Carolina will contain him, so he can go to brush up on assists. However, Floyd wanted the University of North Carolina to stay out of the box, and now Wu Huang's offense has gone crazy, scoring another nine points in the second half. The total has increased to 32 points, more than half of the team's scores.
Roy. Williams glanced at the game time. Knowing that they can't be stubborn any longer, their strategy of defending Wu Huang alone has failed, and the "Jordan's Rule" has two strategies, the first is to use various methods to defend the target and do everything. The second way is to let go of the target when you really can't prevent it, and change it to defend against the other 4 people.
The University of North Carolina used the second strategy today, they chose to let go of Wu Huang, but the result was that he alone scored more than the other four, this plan has obviously failed, so they can only try the first method, try to guard him tightly, and let the others go.
Having said that, the University of North Carolina actually used the "Jordan Rule" to deal with Wu Huang in the finals, which in itself already shows how good he is.
After the timeout, NC changed its tactics, and the two sides were unable to score for a long time, and the deadlock was broken by Ellington this time, and the NC shooting guard used his inconsistent breakaway pull-up jumper to score 4 points in a row on DeRozan's head, and NC began to wake up.
Lawson and Hansbrough then scored a goal as NC hit an 8-0 spurt to tie the score to 53-56 and trail by just three points.
The University of Southern California suddenly entered a score drought during this time, and it is inseparable from Wu Huang.
The University of North Carolina finally changed its tactics, but Wu Huang did not brush up assists as expected during this time, the opponent suddenly used a double and anti-bag clamp, and a third person often came out to intercept his passes, the difference between "reality" and "imagination" was too great, he had no chance to send assists at all, and he didn't even have a suitable pass opportunity.
"How so?" Wu Huang was a little dumbfounded, he originally thought that once the University of North Carolina wrapped himself, he could use the breakthrough point to revitalize the whole team, and then there would be more assists to the point of hand cramps, and the triple-double would be available soon.
However, the reality is not like this at all, his breakthrough route, as well as his passing route, are all blocked. Not to mention assists at this time, as long as he holds the ball for a long time, he will immediately fall into the three-man encirclement, and Lawson's goal just now is a counterattack that took advantage of his dribbling mistake behind the bag.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Floyd hurriedly called a timeout, and unexpectedly replaced Wu Huang, so that the core of his team could calm down and take the opportunity to catch his breath.
Wu Huang didn't expect that he would be replaced, he was a little confused, and he couldn't figure out what he had done wrong?
"What went wrong with my plan?" Wu Huang sat on the sidelines, drinking the energy drink handed by his teammates, but he couldn't figure it out in his heart, the other party used the two inseparable bags to wrap himself, then his teammates would definitely be exposed, but why couldn't he find a passing route?
"It shouldn't be like this! What went wrong? Emperor Wu pondered hard, but he didn't know that he had already gotten into the tip of the horns. He should now think about why some players are called "data brushes" by the media, and why such players always fail to win championships, and even make it difficult to even make the playoffs. It is because they put "personal data" above the team, and at the same time, they are also constrained by "personal data" and imprisoned the whole picture and the big picture. (To be continued.) )
