Who will be the role players now that everyone's been reborn?

Georgia Institute of Technology's leading position was achieved through its "heretical" practices.

The advantage was gained by disrupting the rhythm of Wake Forest University's offensive system through the "cut-off of Paul".

Now that Georgia Tech's strategy of double-teaming their star player has failed, Wake Forest University has launched a counterattack. As the commentators said, "In addition to disrupting the Hornets' momentum, the Deacons are pressing their advantage on offense!!!"

Another commentator said, "This is the change brought about by that player from Tokyo University. He is the X-factor of this game. You can call him the secret weapon of the Devil's Butler team."

Because he almost always comes off the bench and steps up in crucial moments, like a hero hidden in the night…”

On the field, in the eleventh minute, Wake Forest University launched an attack.

Chris Paul dribbled the ball up the court and, like Fisher playing a utility player, passed the ball to Chen Dong, who was positioned high up to facilitate the offense. Then, switching to off-ball mode, Chris Paul escaped the Hornets' double-team trap.

We can't treat Paul, who isn't on the ball, with the same star treatment, can we?

At this moment, Chen Dong is not Kobe Bryant, who would just grab the ball and go for it. Instead, he is Chris Webber, who immediately delivers a surgical pass when he sees Chris Paul cutting inside the three-point line.

His assist rating of 60 is neither particularly high nor low; it's sufficient for the NCAA. Most importantly, the Hornets were caught off guard; they never expected the Devil's Butler team to pull off such a surprising turn of events!

In that instant!

Chris Paul gets the ball back; he's not actually Fisher, but he can transform into Iverson.

breakthrough!

Rinse the basket!

Layup!

Paul, fearless, transformed into a short-range gun, dribbling and charging forward, while Luke Sinchel, despite his height and speed, was simply unable to protect the rim.

Swish-!

"Put away the pass button, Paul's offensive fighting power is also very strong." The commentator exclaimed, "In the end, Georgia Tech's lineup of one big man and four small men is impossible to defend, and it is impossible to cover both the perimeter and the inside at the same time."

Especially since the interior lineup is so thin...

At this moment, Paul's 183 talent was unleashed to its fullest extent.

As the epitome of "correct basketball," Larry Brown certainly has unique insights into the use and understanding of his 183cm height.

Rather than organizing the offense and assisting, perhaps charging into battle and scoring is the optimal solution for a player with 183cm talent!

In the twelfth minute, Paul and Chen Dong made a pass and cut on the outside. Jack, who had switched onto the defense, was tightly guarded, but Chen Dong used a back-to-the-basket dribble to shake him off, and then he passed the ball directly to Chris Paul who was cutting down the court.

Paul took a step forward, pulled the ball up for a layup, pulled back in mid-air for another layup, and then made a fancy back-to-the-basket pass to Rick Williams on the other side for an easy layup, scoring two points.

Chen Dong looked at Jack and said calmly, "Look, Chris Paul's layup assists are so cool."

And you've lost control of the game.

"You talk too much!!!"

Jarrett Jack had been playing basketball in college for two and a half years, which had shaped his calm and resilient character, and he was not easily influenced by Chen Dong's words.

Unlike football, where one or two goals can almost determine the outcome of a game, basketball is a multi-round offensive and defensive sport. One or two rounds of hard play are not enough; you need to play for 40 minutes straight.

In the 14th minute, Chen Dong first made a side screen with Kyriather on the wing, shaking off Mario West's almost hugging defense, and then ran to the high position to pass and cut with Paul.

Having prepared a mental plan, Jack switched defense in time, tightly marking Paul as he cut off the ball, while Chen Dong, holding the ball a step beyond the three-point line, faced rookie Anthony Morrow.

This person later entered the NBA and was a 3D player. He was 1.96 meters tall with a wingspan of 2.10 meters. With his strong athleticism, it's no wonder that Kyrie Vither couldn't deal with this rookie when he was trying to score points.

Seeing Chen Dong take the ball and aim, Anthony Morrow quickly stepped forward to close the gap, but Chen Dong used a standard probing step to force him back. Just a second ago, Anthony Morrow thought Chen Dong would pass the ball, but the next second, he saw Chen Dong dribble to the right and pull up for a three-pointer.

Swish-!

The basketball swished precisely into the hoop.

"What great luck!" Chen Dong said sincerely, "It went into the net without any resistance."

Upon hearing Chen Dong's words at Versailles, Anthony Moro's dark face darkened even further.

So when we say "good luck," we don't mean whether or not we can score a goal, but rather whether or not we can score a swirl goal.

When?

Are goals now categorized as either swivels or swivels?

In Chen Dong's opinion, the skill of "3 points, B grade" did not reach half of the strength of "abnormal accuracy". To hit the target squarely, it did require a bit of luck.

Sometimes, lies don't hurt; the truth is the sharpest knife!

The Hornets hoped to disrupt Chen Dong's rhythm with a timeout and then use new tactics to regain control of the game. They did not expect their opponent's momentum to come like a storm, so fierce and intense.

Wake Forest University's new tactics have caught Georgia Tech off guard, leaving them scrambling to respond and constantly on the move.

The problem still lies with Chen Dong, a role player. Simply relying on timeouts has not solved the impact Chen Dong has on the court. On the contrary, Wake Forest University has given Chen Dong more tactical support after the timeout, and even had Chris Paul switch to off-ball and play as a scorer again.

The problem is... how do we deal with Chen Dong, this role player?

As the competition unfolded, this became an almost impossible problem to solve.

Chen Dong, with his all-around abilities, is simply a walking treasure trove.

Playing the power forward position, he excels in both offense and defense. On offense, he can score every time he's on the receiving end, and on defense, he can even block Mario West's layup attempt.

Playing point guard, he can deliver surgical passes to Chris Paul, and even when facing the tight defense of top-tier player Jack, he can still calmly break through the defense with his back-to-the-basket dribble and then pass the ball well.

Playing small forward? His triple threat jab step is so precise that even the relatively inexperienced Anthony Morrow can't keep up with his pace. And then, he can bombard their basket with a precise three-pointer. How can you defend against that?

Score guard?

Well, Chen Dong hasn't tried playing shooting guard yet, nor has he faced Will Bynum head-on, but Wake Forest University's offensive comeback that turned the tide of the game was all thanks to Chen Dong coming on. He can score two points when needed, and he can also make three-pointers. And you're saying Chang Wei doesn't know martial arts, oh wait, I mean Chen Dong can't play shooting guard?

After the timeout, Chen Dong's tactical role became even more prominent, and he transformed into an all-around player, making numerous contributions in organization, scoring, and defense.

You call this a role player?

Off the court, Paul Hansington had been watching closely and had come to regard Chen Dong as another superstar of Wake Forest University, and a superstar who could play multiple positions. After the timeout, Chris Paul, who had been completely suppressed by the opposing team, began to show his terrifying destructive power as the core point guard after being freed up.

To be fair, Paul isn't Iverson; his first priority is to orchestrate the offense rather than score himself.

Chen Dong mentioned that the high post and Paul's outside passing and cutting tactics did not replace Paul's position as the ball-handling core. Instead, it allowed Chris Paul's core point guard to drive the ball from outside the three-point line to inside the three-point line. When Paul received the ball back from Chen Dong, he was not only no longer troubled by Georgia Tech's "double-team tactics", but his offensive threat was closer to the basket.

His breakthroughs, his assists, his fighting spirit, and his threat level have all reached their peak. Whether he's scoring points himself or breaking through and passing the ball, he can make every move count.

Just as the commentator roared, "Chris Paul is penetrating deep into the opponent's territory, like an unstoppable blade, conquering cities and seizing everything at will!!!"

The game turned into a complete rout. At the end of the first half, Chris Paul made a last-second layup, bringing the score to 41-30. Wake Forest University had come back from an 8-point deficit to complete an 11-point comeback.

During a break, Georgia Tech head coach Paul Hansson had to have a frank conversation with his players: "The intelligence misled me. Wake Forest University has more than just Chris Paul as a superstar."

In the second half, we still need to treat Chen Dong as a superstar, and a versatile, all-around player at that!!!
