I saw Hayward, who was in control of the ball, turn around and stop abruptly, with his left foot as the axis, and his right foot quickly drew a semicircle in the opposite direction on the ground, stepped on a certain node, and then his legs suddenly exerted force, but he was not forced, and floated backwards like a fallen leaf.

In the air, Hayward, who was lifting the basketball, had already turned around with a confident smile on his face.

Step-back jumper!

Tang Wenlong's eyelids jumped, Gordon Hayward's difficulty was far beyond his imagination, and this backward jumper was like a textbook by standard. He naturally compares his step-back jumper to it, from the realism of the feints in the early stage to the amplitude in the later stage, it seems that it is difficult to distinguish between them.

But most crucially, this shot hit!

17 to 9, all of a sudden dissipated the gloom in the hearts of the Butler University players because of Tang Wenlong's shocking buckle just now.

At this moment, the global ratings of CBS's broadcast of this game have reached the highest value since the start of this year's NCAA National Championship, and even surpassed the previous game in which the University of Kansas was counterattacked by a dark horse.

The NBA general managers who followed the game in front of the TV were all dazzled, and they preferred to see Hayward's shooting with good technical skills compared to the previous dunk that Tang Wenlong's explosive physical fitness showed. And to be able to make Wesley Johnson, who was the third in the previous draft list, disgraced, their evaluation of Hayward has risen to another level, after all, the former's defense has proven to be a first-tier level in the NBA this season.

Wesley Johnson sent out the baseline ball with a grim face, Tang Wenlong received the ball and advanced it across the halfcourt, his right hand that did not control the ball stretched out three fingers, beckoning his teammates to start running

Unlike many point guards who pretended to command the running position in college, Tang Wenlong was a true commander. Since high school, he's learned to organize teams for games, and in his year of college, Coach Jim has at least a thousand different tactics in his head.

Although most of the time, he uses a very simple tactical arrangement.

Just like the simple pick-and-roll screen tactic at the moment, Wesley Johnson mentioned that the upline and the tall Black did off-ball screens each other, and this time the execution of the tactic was very good, and Wesley Johnson, who averaged nearly 20 points per game in the regular season, immediately attracted the defensive attention of two players at Butler University, and Blake went down to the penalty area.

At this moment, in the face of such an empty position, Tang Wenlong stuffed a violent direct pass into the hands of Blake under the basket.

Blake picked up the ball with ease and scored two points for Syracuse University, and he has already scored four points in this game, which is one more goal away from his season average of 5.7.

"Mine." Black big Willie Wesley raised his hand to signal that he was responsible for the ball.

"It's okay, pay back another one." Hayward laughed.

In this round, Shervin Mark's jumper was deflected by Tang Wenlong's interference, and the rebound was clicked a few times in the air by several inside lines, and finally was snatched by Wesley Johnson, who bounced amazingly.

Although Syracuse won the rebound, it also lost the opportunity to break quickly, and Tang Wenlong reorganized the offense after falling to the position.

He and Anderson completed the pick-and-roll, swayed from side to side after hitting the inside line, and then used a light flying low hand layup in front of power center Wesley, and the basketball was picked under the armpit of Wesley's defense, bumping and bumping on the basket a few times before falling into the net.

17 to 13!

Syracuse University scored six points in a row, and the stands immediately remembered Syracuse's loud cheering slogan, which quietly overwhelmed a small number of Butler University fans.

Unexpectedly, when the fans were just cheering up and cheering on their favorite team, Butler University scored again. It was shooting guard Nored, who hit a mid-range jumper.

Andy Rustin immediately responded with a three-pointer

The shooting percentage of the two teams is scary, and the rhythm of the offense is not like the NCAA with 35 seconds of offensive time, but like the NBA bombardment team.

Such an offensive game is undoubtedly intense, good-looking, and the fans are addicted.

It wasn't until the coaches on both sides began to rotate the lineup normally that the offense slowed down a little and slowly entered a normal frequency.

At the end of the first half, Butler University led Syracuse by five points, 46-41.

Everyone's eyes shattered, thinking that there would be such a dramatic scene in a one-sided game, and countless experts and commentators almost bit off their tongues. However, Matt Moore, a CBS TV commentator who had a different tone before the game, became a small celebrity, and fans worshiped him as a god.

However, Matt Moore himself was also surprised, and the reason why he was in opposition was simply because the leader asked for some spice for the game

However, some players at the University of Kansas who have been eliminated are a little excited to see this scene, thinking that Cole Aldridge, Xavier Henry and others all wish that there would be someone to share their pain, and for this reason, what better university than Syracuse University, which is still ranked first in the United States?

After the break, the two teams returned to the pitch to fight.

At this moment, the Syracuse University players have completely lost their pre-game contempt, and all the Syracuse players, including Wesley Johnson and others, are solemn and look like they are facing a big enemy.

Butler University, who didn't win the jump ball, got the ball in the first wave of offense.

"Bulldogs, bulldogs, they really live up to their reputation!" At the entrance of the players' tunnel, the tall Jack watched the fierce confrontation between the two teams on the field with great interest, he looked at the sweaty No. 9, and then looked at Butler University's head coach Bullard, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai bench, showed a playful smile, shook his head and said softly: "Tang Wenlong, his strength is more than that." ”

How strong is Tang Wenlong?

Jack vaguely knew a little bit, but in fact, even he didn't know how strong Tang Wenlong was, and he could only describe it as unfathomable. In his opinion, Tang Wenlong, who is really serious, is a monster who will crush all enemies in front of him, and he has an incomparably powerful heart.

As the clock ticked by, Butler University remained firmly ahead of Syracuse by around five points.

Tang Wenlong didn't know that the court was still scolding him for not having to attack with all his strength, in fact, in the position of point guard, the limit of what he could achieve had already been shown to everyone, and seeing that there were only five minutes left, he was also a little anxious.

"I'll take the main attack" After a pause, Tang Wenlong, who wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, suddenly spoke.

Coach Jim, who was spitting and giving a tactical explanation, was slightly stunned, and then there were some doubts and some indescribable anger in his heart.

However, when he looked at Tang Wenlong's clear and bright eyes, he suddenly suppressed all his doubts, and he suddenly remembered the scene when Tang Wenlong showed the temperament of a king at the beginning, and the players in front of him who took the initiative to take responsibility at the critical moment gradually coincided.

"Do you want to play at point guard? I don't have that tactic. Coach Jim said lightly, his tone a little cold.

Tang Wenlong sighed slightly, knowing that Coach Jim was a little angry in his heart.

But he remembered the scene of his solitary practice every night in the dark, and his eyes became extraordinarily determined, "Coach, I want to play shooting guard." ”

Andy Rustine's face turned pale and his mouth opened, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Coach Jim's eyes narrowed, and at this time he carefully looked at Tang Wenlong's height, and his heart made waves. At this moment, entering the end of March, Tang Wenlong, who is nearly 19 years old, seems to have risen in height by another section, compared to Andy, who has a net height of 1.93 meters before, and it seems that there is no need to play the position of the wing!

After a moment of silence, he had a plan!

"Gardini, Andy, Tang Wenlong, Wesley, Blake! The five of you play! ”

Substitute point guard Gardini was slightly stunned, and then reacted immediately, took off the jacket wrapped around his body, he secretly glanced at Tang Wenlong, and gave him a thumbs up - dare to talk to the coach like this, I have to accept it.

Tang Wenlong was a little surprised when he heard Coach Jim's arrangement, and then after thinking about it for a while, his eyes immediately lit up, it seemed that with his current height, it was okay to play the position of small forward! And Wesley Johnson's appearance at the power forward position is even more miraculous, and the speed of the entire Syracuse University seems to have risen a cut!

"Come on, fight hard!" Coach Jim encouraged.

Tang Wenlong turned his head, his eyes focused on the white player on the other side, and he felt that every cell in his body began to tremble, and a long-lost sense of excitement stimulated his adrenal hormone secretion!

Gordon Hayward felt something, and his head tilted.

The eyes of the two people met in the air like this, and both sides saw the battle intent on each other's faces, and in the void darkness, there seemed to be a glimmer of sparks
