Chapter Seventy-Six: One Thing Missing
Emperor Wu walked around in the crowd in the first half, as if he was walking in his back garden, next to a group of black and hard people who were taller and stronger than him, like a clumsy gorilla, although he opened his teeth and claws in front of Emperor Wu, and showed a fierce face, but he just couldn't reach him.
Charles. Barkley analyzed: "Hugo has a huge range of movement and flexibility, and one of the problems faced by the University of Louisville is that you can't get stuck early, otherwise with Hugo's skills, whether you have the ball or not, it will not be difficult to turn around and break in the opposite direction." So, on this pitch right now, the idea of blocking Hugo's running path may just be an idea. ”
Kenny. Smith stressed: "The University of Louisville should pay attention to protecting the basketball, in the first half they had as many as 7 turnovers, which led to the offensive rhythm being disrupted, and in the second half they need to pay attention to the timing of the pass and the effective mastery of the basketball, and reduce the number of turnovers, otherwise chasing points is just a delusion." ”
USC is well aware of their strengths, one of which is their ability to make turnovers, followed by shooting percentage and assists, and their lead in these three technical statistics is very large, which is where they must step up their efforts and the most effective means to kill the enemy quickly.
"I'm not playing with you anymore!" As soon as Wu Huang came up in the second half, he hit three points with the help of cover, officially widening the difference to 20+.
"The fifth!" USC fans neatly put up five fingers as they counted the number of three-pointers Wu hit today.
"This kind of defense can be called 'Swiss cheese', the kind that has a lot of holes all over the body, how do you win the game with this kind of defense?" Barkley's defense against the University of Louisville. Once again, a merciless taunt was unleashed.
Kenny. Smith couldn't help but ask, "So." How do you feel about defending a player like Hugo? ”
Charles. Barkley naturally won't be stumped. Wen Yan smiled: "The best strategy to control this guy is to disrupt his shooting rhythm, because he is a rhythmic shooter, so as long as he hits the first shot, the next step is out of control, and he can score 40 points or more." "For this point, Barkley obviously has learned a profound lesson, and there are many guys like Wu Huang in any era. The same is true of his era, "My little trick is not to let him find an opportunity outside the three-second zone, and to squeeze him with his body as soon as he gets the ball, anyway, a person has five foul opportunities, and you can only make the most of the foul against such a player." Once he starts to get his hands on it, then hit him on the arm with a 'bang' and let him go to the free throws, as long as it makes his hand feel cold, and it is necessary to pay a little price for it. ”
Emperor Wu didn't know that Barkley had bad water in his stomach. It was true that this method would make him feel very uncomfortable, but could it make his hands cold. That's not necessarily, and besides, his free throw shooting percentage is so high, it's not just for decoration.
In the second half, the University of Louisville didn't know if it was blinded, they didn't use foul tactics to cool Wu Huang's hand, the players didn't move around the court as quickly as in the opening stages of the first half, and the holes on the defensive end became bigger.
This may be being beaten, anyway, Wu Huang soon got the opportunity to shoot outside the three-point line again, and it was another long-range bombing, and the basketball hit the target accurately!
USC fans neatly put up six fingers this time, they showed their intentions in this way, everyone is waiting for Wu Huang to break the three-point record, so they hit at least 7 three-pointers per game, they are more attentive than Wu Huang.
At this point in the game, the University of Louisville has actually surrendered, and the suspense of victory is not great, but the battle of Wu Huang is not over.
Before this, for the sake of the overall situation, Wu Huang was willing to sacrifice his record and always suppressed his three-point shot. But now, it's time for the team to dedicate himself to him, and USC has begun to fully cooperate with Wu Huang, and the whole team is helping him execute the three-point shooting strategy.
At 16 minutes and 20 seconds of the second half, USC positioned a cover and once again blocked the defender for Wu Huang.
Wu Huang did not hesitate to catch the ball and throw it......
With a bang, the ball finally missed, but USC sent four players to rush for the rebound and snatch the basketball back.
Wu Huang regained the basketball outside the three-point line, didn't even think about it, shot again, and shot the ball into the basket against the defense.
"The seventh!" USC fans raised 7 fingers this time, and Wu Huang finally completed his basic task.
Wu Huang was amused by the actions of his fans, there are still more than ten minutes left in the game, although the score difference between the two teams has been rushed to 30+, but in this case, he will not have the slightest mercy, but he also secretly shouted with the fans on the scene in his heart: "One more!" ”
But I don't know if I want to score too much, Wu Huang's next two three-point shots ended in iron, and his feeling began to fall.
"As long as the margin is above 20 points, I can keep pitching. Besides, I have spelled back these advantages, and I naturally have the right to be capricious. Wu Huang glanced at the score, his thoughts were a bit self-conscious, but as long as he didn't cross the safety line, he was ready to go on willfully, this was the treatment he should enjoy.
"Team honours are important, but my personal honours are equally important." With such an attitude, Wu Huang continued to look for opportunities to shoot three-pointers on the court.
The University of Louisville also saw Wu Huang's plan, since he will definitely shoot outside the three-point line, it is much easier to defend, just guard against his three-point shots, and don't worry about being dangled by him again.
This is the reason why Wu Huang missed consecutive misses, and the opponent would rush forward to block with all his strength every time, trying his best to seal his hand in front of his eyes, which seriously affected his hit rate.
At 13:05 of the second half, Wu Huang made his 12th three-point shot today, but he hit the iron again, and his record remained at 7.
"!" Wu Huang slapped his palms hard, and the score had become 62:40, and once the University of Louisville scored the ball in this attack, the difference between the two teams would return to within 20 points.
The University of Louisville began to chase points during this time, and they regained hope of overtaking the score.
Terrance. Williams is a strong DeRozan on the offensive end. Use your strength advantage to push your opponents away. Dribbling into the box.
"Let's go down!" Emperor Wu expected that the little would definitely not be able to bear it. This time, he returned to the restricted area in time to fill in and jumped with Gibson to block Terrence's layup.
After Gibson landed, he took off the basketball that didn't even touch the basket, and quickly passed it to Wu Huang, who was about to turn around.
"Damn, you're so positive when you're attacking!" Emperor Wu turned his head to see that DeRozan was not slower than him this time, but turned around one step earlier than him, and was running with his legs drawn.
"You're positive about this kind of thing, but don't think about it this time." Wu Huang dribbled to the frontcourt. There was no intention of passing the ball at all, and he changed hands from behind outside the three-point line and dodged Preston who followed the defense. Knowles, then quickly took a diagonal step to the far end, completely dodged the defense, and threw his 13th three-pointer......
"Huh!" The basketball hollow passed through the net, and Wu Huang's 13th shot finally paid off.
"The eighth!" The fans at the scene still remembered the data for him, Wu Huang smiled happily, and sure enough, the shot without interference was easy to score, and this retreat shot completely created an empty opportunity for him. Such a shooting percentage is very high, and it is no joke that 8 out of 10 can be scored.
After that. Wu Huang seems to have found a way to reduce interference, the NCAA's three-point line is one meter smaller than the NBA, he can add a step-back action like this before shooting, even if it costs to increase the range, but it is much better than being put in front of his eyes, anyway, he usually trains the NBA's three-point line.
"The ninth!"
"The tenth!"
Every time Wu Huang hits a three-pointer, the voices of the fans will follow, and now these fans are facing a problem, that is, their ten fingers are no longer enough.
At 7 minutes and 30 seconds of the second half, the score was 73:50, and the University of Southern California helped Wu Huang brush up on the three-point shot, while blocking the score difference outside 20 points.
With such a point difference, the time left is not enough for them to turn defeat into victory, and this is really a dead end.
Floyd called a timeout, and he wanted to ask Wu Huang if he was going to challenge for the tournament record.
If Emperor Wu's answer is "no", then he can be replaced to rest.
The NCAA's single-game three-point record was made on December 15, 1996. Viney made 15-of-25 three-pointers from three-point range in Marshall and Morhide State. However, that was in the regular season, and in the round of 68, that record dropped to 12, and Wu Huang had a chance to challenge it.
The difficulty of the round of 68 is much higher than that of the regular season, and on the record list, the two records are also calculated separately, the difference between the two is like the difference between the regular season and the playoffs in the NBA, Wu Huang is now only two goals away from tying the record, if he can score three goals, he can enjoy this record alone, this kind of one-time thing, of course, try to challenge.
"I still have the strength!" Emperor Wu nodded, implying that he was going to challenge a new record and did not plan to rest.
Freud nodded, of course he hoped that Emperor Wu would retain his strength, but he would not sweep away his core for this. This kind of thing is generally up to the player's personal wishes, and no NBA or NCAA coach will force the players to sacrifice their own record-breaking opportunities for the sake of the overall situation.
Wu Huang took to the court again with a record-breaking goal.
After the game restarted, the University of Louisville began to play a high-intensity package defense against him with the mentality of "you can lose, but you can't lose", basically pressing as soon as the midfield passed, not allowing him to dribble easily. Even without the ball, the University of Louisville always uses a double defense to take care of Wu Huang.
"There are a lot of you, let's put the elevator!" USC reintroduced their elevator tactic, and the University of Louisville still has no way to deal with this strange tactic, so the double bag clip hits the elevator door, and it is Pia's bang, and two of them stick to it as soon as they hit.
Wu Huang made a more relaxed shot this time, there were no defenders around him in a battle, and those two guys who looked like farts were still on the elevator door at the moment.
This time, under the watchful eyes of the fans, Wu Huang aimed for a long time before throwing the ball out, and the little orange thing drew a wonderful arc in the sky, and fell into the net with a "boom"!
"Eleventh!" Wu Huang raised a finger with one hand and aimed it at Christine, who was in a state of brain damage, and the masked British girl, who was now only one ball away from the record. (To be continued.) )
