Chapter 56 Details Determine Success or Failure

"Scoring and defense, being able to defend on the defensive end, being able to score on the offensive end, that's a shooting guard." Emperor Wu glanced at DeRozan, his disdainful gaze that made the latter's blood rush to his head.

DeRozan couldn't stand Emperor Wu's eyes the most, and secretly made up his mind that he had to let everyone see his ability for a while.

"Damn, I don't want to irritate you, and I don't know when I'll see your performance." Wu Huang used the Radical Tactics to deal with DeRozan this season, and later even Freud saw that the two masters and apprentices often cooperated to launch the "Radical General" skill when needed.

Harden's freshman year performance is not much better than the current DeRozan, who was suppressed by Emperor Wu this year, many talents have not been shown, and not enough attention has been grabbed, so Floyd wants DeRozan to stay and play for another year, which is good for himself and the school.

The media also advised DeRozan to stay in school for a year, otherwise he may not be able to enter the lottery area if he participates in the draft this year.

DeRozan didn't want to stay in school anymore, he wanted to make money, and at the same time he was tired of school life, and he was satisfied to be able to enter the lottery. But even the lotto zone is not that easy to enter, and he really needs to show himself well in the national tournament to be sure to get into the lotto zone.

Wu Huang is now being targeted by opponents, and DeRozan's defense is relatively weak, and this is his best chance to show himself.

When the game resumes, Wu Huang will consciously move to the left and right wing areas, and when he draws the defense in, he will immediately pass the basketball to Gibson, who is in the center, who will quickly turn the basketball to DeRozan on the weak side.

At this time, the defensive focus of the University of Arizona was still on Wu Huang, and the black boy had a perfect 1-on-1 opportunity on the other side.

Harden's lateral movement is not slow, but it is definitely not agile, and his footwork can barely reach the upper middle level when he is serious, and other things such as explosiveness and speed are all the same, none of them reach the top, and his overall athleticism is half a level worse than DeRozan.

But in other more important abilities, such as ball handling, vision, shooting, organization tandem, etc., Harden is a level stronger than DeRozan, so he is a lot better than DeRozan.

This is also the reason why Harden can be compared to Wu Huang, both of whom are the top three picks in the draft, but DeRozan cannot enter this level.

What Wu Huang is doing at the moment is to create an environment in DeRozan's favor, 1-on-1 is more about the player's athleticism and singles skills, and sometimes sheer speed and explosiveness can solve most problems.

DeRozan and Harden have known each other since they were children, and they know each other well, and when they chat in private, they often complain about Emperor Wu together.

But it is precisely because of being familiar with each other that DeRozan also knows how to deal with Harden, and the best way to use a straightforward breakthrough is to compete with the opponent for explosiveness and speed.

Gibson will also help DeRozan do some cover on the inside, and then Harden's big disadvantage is reflected, he can't keep up with DeRozan in the first place, and if he is delayed a little, he will not be able to keep up at all. At this time, the interior of the University of Arizona will face the frontal impact of DeRozan, whose super explosive power can easily cause the interior player to foul, or a jump step to dodge, and direct mid-range jumpers are also DeRozan's skills.

At 7:45 of the second half, the score was 56:50, DeRozan scored eight points in a row in the previous four minutes, and Arizona reluctantly asked for a timeout, and they had to do something about DeRozan.

Wu Huang basically dribbled through half the court during this time, and then pretended to break through, passed the basketball out after attracting the defense, and began to run without the ball, pulling the Arizona defensive formation, and playing a supporting role.

Scott Pera can naturally see USC's purpose, but there is no good way, if Wu Huang is not heavily encircled, this guy will become a greater threat to them again, but now DeRozan and Gibson are also very threatening, how to arrange the team's defense?

"Wrap DeRozan!" Scott Pera pondered for a long time, and finally did not plan to relax his defense against Emperor Wu, but DeRozan's threat could not be ignored, so he could only tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall.

Jeff Ayers on the inside has to help Harden help defend DeRozan in time, so he can properly free up the defense against Gibson.

He's betting that DeRozan isn't fast enough to shoot the ball so they have a chance to fill the hole with a quick rotation defense.

DeRozan's ball speed is really not fast enough, he has too little ball this season, it can be said that he has not been trained enough at all, unlike Wu Huang, who can have a lot of offensive opportunities with the ball, has accumulated enough experience, and has been slowly improving his shortcomings.

That's why Floyd wanted him to play for another year, if he didn't be a core in college and didn't have enough training, he would have fewer opportunities to go to the NBA, and he probably wouldn't be able to play in the end.

After the game restarted, DeRozan broke through Harden with a beautiful crossover at the 45-degree three-point line on the right side.

Gibson immediately pulled to the free throw line, and Jeff Ayers chose to let Gibson go at this time to help Harden wrap DeRozan.

At this time, DeRozan only needs to pass the ball to Gibson, who catches the basketball at the free throw line, and can slam the basket under the basket in two steps, and maybe he can play a two-plus-one. But DeRozan's vision was so poor that he only had the basket in his eyes, and he crashed into the front and rear packs, and forced his shot without even touching the basket.

"I knew it would be like this!" Wu Huang rushed to the basket and reached out to sneak a tug at University of Arizona power forward Eric Boateng out of sight of the referee.

Gibson and Wu Huang rushed to the basket together, jumped up to catch the basketball, and then stuffed it into the basket.

"He pulled my jersey." Boateng hated, pointed to his jersey at the referee, and loudly protested against Wu Huang's small actions.

The referee didn't see Wu Huang's movements, so he naturally ignored such a protest.

Many players like to make things out of nothing, so as long as they don't see it with their own eyes, the referee will ignore the player's unilateral protests.

Evidence is all about everything, and although replays are the best evidence, the referee will not watch the video every time a player protests, so that he can't finish a game in one night.

Wu Huang knew that DeRozan was prone to mistakes when he was trapped, and Gibson also guessed that DeRozan was likely to miss after the timeout, so after the game restarted, both men were ready to fight for frontcourt rebounds.

The players of the University of Arizona are at a disadvantage in terms of bounce and arm span, Wu Huang will not mention it, although Gibson is only 203cm, but the arm span has also reached about 215cm, plus his 70cm vertical bounce, it is very advantageous when competing for rebounds in the front court.

In this timeout, in addition to arranging the defense against DeRozan, the Arizona State University wants to solve its own offensive problems.

Harden was also targeted by USC and couldn't score, Jeff Ayers was also in focus, and the University of Arizona now also needs a third point to step up and help the team score.

Scott Pera opted for Kukasca, a better white shooter than Bart Bligh.

However, Bart said that he is not a color pen, Kukaska has a better attack and excellent marksmanship, but Bart is more athletic, a pure shooter is not difficult to be targeted, unless he has unique running skills, it is difficult to develop too well.

Arizona, technically, only has two players who can take offense.

The University of Southern California has two and a half, and Gibson could have done a fatal blow to the University of Arizona if he was let go.

At 5 minutes and 20 seconds of the second half, DeRozan singled out Harden again, he had missed two shots before, and this time the black boy finally learned to get better, and after hitting the restricted area, he twisted his body in the air and passed the basketball to Gibson.

DeRozan had a terrible pass, Gibson had to pause to get the ball on, and the University of Arizona defense took the opportunity to retreat inside.

Wu Huang now has only one person to defend, Gibson immediately passed the basketball, Wu Huang dribbled past the University of Arizona's backup point guard Jamal McMillan, did not shoot at the first time, deliberately adjusted, led Kukaska, and passed the basketball to the bottom corner.

Bart was unguarded in the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer from an open position!

The Staples Arena burst into cheers, and with a score of 65:56, USC widened the gap to nine points.

Marv Albert smiled: "Through this ball, as well as a few second scores after grabbing the front court rebound in the second half, we can see that although the two teams are similar in strength, but in terms of details, the University of Southern California with Hugo is undoubtedly better, and the victory or defeat of the game is usually gradually decided through these small details, which is the details that determine success or failure!" ”
