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

The second half has begun.

In the first minute, Jack broke through in the attacking third, but was closely marked by Paul. He changed direction and continued his attack. Paul has a low lower body and quick lateral movement. His 183cm height also has its advantages. Seeing that he couldn't get away, he retreated and raised the ball to pull it up. Paul rushed out, but saw Jack change his shot to a pass and then cut into the penalty area without the ball.

Paul stared wide-eyed as Luke Sincher, as if playing a wall pass, passed the ball to Jack, who arrived at the last minute and easily made a layup.

A high-speed combination!!!

On the basketball court, they are also a perfect match, a rare combination that makes them invincible on offense.

How rare is it?

Nash and Stoudemire, Duncan and Parker, O'Neal and Wade, Jokic and Murray, Yao Ming and Alston!!!

The reason they seem like a perfect match is because Yao Ming is very tall and Alston is very fast!!!

As Georgia Tech began to gain momentum, when Rick Williams, who was guarding the basket, switched to defend Jack's cut to the basket, Luke Sinchel didn't pass the ball. Instead, he tested Wake Forest's basket with an elite mid-range shot.

Paul, who is 183cm tall, tried his best to switch on defense. In front of the 2.16-meter giant, Paul roared, "I am David, and I will challenge Goliath," but he was only destined to be beaten.

Whose talent isn't talent?

The shortcoming of being 183cm was finally addressed.

In the fourth minute of the second half, as Jack and Luke Shear continued to create threats with their passing and cutting combinations, the Hornets' three-point attack, though late, finally arrived.

Anthony Morrow, a rookie on the left wing, may be a bit inexperienced, but he is exceptionally talented and fearless. If Jack passes to him, he dares to shoot, sinking a highly lethal three-pointer over Kyrie Vince's block.

Swish!!!

"A 9-2 comeback was launched in the second half."

Georgia Tech showed the resilience befitting an NCAA runner-up. "The Hornets' comeback wasn't technically sophisticated; it was all about raw talent," the commentator remarked.

比如188的杰克错位点名2米08的里克威廉士，又比如2米16的卢克辛歇尔错锋军训183的保罗。

In particular, Luke Sinchel's talent at 2.16 meters tall was too obvious on the NCAA stage. The Hornets dared to play three-point tactics because they dared to gamble that while Anthony Morrow had good shooting skills, Luke Sinchel could take back the ball that his teammates missed.

"NCAA competitions are like international competitions; they don't have the defensive three-second rule like the BNA."

"With a 2.16-meter giant staying in the paint and not coming out, the importance of the inside players has been greatly amplified." Prosser's expression grew increasingly serious.

Even on the court, Chen Dong had another excellent performance, and despite Jack's block, he responded with an "Answerball" and hit a three-pointer to retaliate.

Prosser's concerns have not diminished.

Regardless of the circumstances, the final four teams are facing off against the top 16 teams in terms of troop strength. The advantage lies with Georgia Institute of Technology, while Wake Forest University's lead is temporary, not final.

In the 10th minute of the second half, Jack and Luke Sinchel continued their passing game. However, instead of passing to Jack who had made a run into the penalty area, Luke Sinchel feinted and passed to Wilby Bynum, who then made a run down the court. Bynum received the ball, charged forward, and slammed it home... Rick Williams instinctively tried to block, but he was already out of position.

Clang, beep!!!

"GOAT!!! A dunk, plus a free throw, that's a beautiful 2+1!"

"Georgia Tech is not fighting alone, nor is it two people fighting alone; it's three or four."

"If Wilby Bynum makes the free throw, Georgia Tech's comeback could close the gap to just one point."

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

The outcome is still uncertain; we could all be dark horses!!!

Not to mention, Georgia Tech was never a dark horse from the start; they were the favorites to win before the game, and now they've simply regained the points they lost.

Swish-!

He made the free throw, completing a three-point play.

The Georgia Tech team cheered, having finally gotten their revenge!

Wake Forest University, on the losing side, promptly called a timeout to try and disrupt the rhythm of the game.

After delivering his familiar motivational rhetoric, Prossel then unveiled his strongest tactic: "Next, give the ball to Chris Paul, and the rest of you spread out in an offensive formation."

If Chris is double-teamed, Chen Dong, you can then take a shot, either to attack or to receive the ball and organize the offense.

After pausing for a moment and setting up the offensive tactics, Proser also made a personnel adjustment in the defense, replacing Keliwes with defensive stalwart Chris Ellis.

After the timeout, Georgia Tech pressed their advantage and reintroduced the "decapitation Paul" double-team tactic. This was an anticipation of Wake Forest University's tactics, betting that the Devil's Team would place the burden of advancing on Chris Paul, their core point guard.

"here we go again?

The belief that "Chris Paul must die when he has the ball" resonates deeply. Ultimately, Wake Forest University's ceiling really depends on Chris Paul to pull it up.

"Wow, Paul calmly dribbled between his legs and stepped back, avoiding a double team. Chen Dong, the very scene-stealing supporting player, also moved up to the high post to receive the pass..."

The basketball was handed to Chen Dong, and Paul, now in off-ball mode, was free to roam the world.

When Chen Dong made the surgical pass and the basketball fell back into Chris Paul's hands, it instantly created an offensive threat to the Hornets' basket.

Swish-!

He made a pull-up jump shot after a sudden stop.

Paul's elite mid-range shot at a crucial moment was incredibly effective.

It has to be said that Chris Paul's leadership ability is definitely three or four stories high. Giving him the ball allows him to effectively lead his team in prolonged battles against elite teams.

At the same time, the return of Chris Ellis, a defensive stalwart, to the court can improve the team's defensive quality and reduce the chances of Wake Forest University making mistakes.

In a duel between masters, whoever makes the first mistake will lose!

On the court, with Chris Paul controlling the offense and Chris Ellis providing solid defense, plus the brilliance of Chen Dong, a treasure of a team, Wake Forest University only needs to wait for the right opportunity.

In other words, just wait!

Yeah, just waiting to die here!!!

Georgia Tech's momentum was not easily disrupted; in any case, their multi-dimensional offensive system had opened up the game.

Jack dribbles the ball up the court and drives and passes whenever possible. Even if he can't break through Paul's defense, there's no need to panic. He and Luke Sincher can play a passing and cutting game, and they can receive the ball and press again, unleashing the power of their "tall and fast" combination.

The basketball was passed to Luke Sinchel, who could act as a playmaker. Jack quickly cut down the court, while at the same time, Anthony Morrow on the left wing was ready to receive the ball and shoot a three-pointer.

At this moment, the Hornets' offense features drives to the basket, mid-range shots, and three-pointers ready to be unleashed.

And that's not all there is to a three-dimensional offensive!!!

On the court, when Luke Sincher received the ball and drew away Rick Williams' rim protection, Jack made an off-ball run and drew away Paul's defense, and Anthony Morrow hit a three-pointer like an assassin, leaving Chris Ellis as a spectator on the perimeter, Will Bynum and Mario West on the right and left sides moved quickly and rushed in.

When Georgia Tech unleashed its multi-dimensional offensive threat, binding Wake Forest's defense with its hands and feet, two attackers on the flanks charged fearlessly toward the heart of Wake Forest like cavalry.

When Mario West rushed into the penalty area.

Catch!

Leap!

A powerful dunk!!

West, positioned high above, slashed down at Chen Dong's basket like a god descending to earth, delivering a tomahawk-like strike!

Clang!

Chen Dong staggered after being dunked on, almost falling and sliding, but fortunately, he managed to regain his balance by using his physical talent to dissipate the force.

This is great news!

The bad news is that West failed to grab the rim when he dunked, and instead tumbled to the floor, landing painfully clutching his right foot.

staged accident!!!

When the referee blew the whistle to let the goal stand and penalized Chen Dong for a defensive foul, giving Georgia Tech a chance to take a penalty, this "term" popped into Chen Dong's mind.

"In basketball, whoever gets injured isn't always right!!!" Chen Dong argued vehemently, but all he got in return was a cold shake of the head from the referee. Even when faced with boos from the home crowd and protests from coach Prossel, he remained unmoved, and the original ruling was upheld.

Because Mario West was carried off the field for treatment, it was almost impossible for him to continue playing.

Swish-!

Jack took the free throw and made it, helping the Hornets tie the game.

But they couldn't be happy.

Injuries are also part of the game.

They can only understand this world, and then still love it – Lu Xun.

In the 16th minute, with 4 minutes left in the game, Georgia Institute of Technology's momentum was interrupted, again because of Chen Dong.

"What the hell?"

"Wilby Bynum drove to the basket for a layup, and although he made the shot despite Chen Dong's help defense and block, he pulled a muscle and had to be carried out."

"OMG?

Is Chen Dong the Grim Reaper?

How come anyone who touches it gets hurt?!

Chen Dong, who was substituted, was very frustrated. He had helped Wake Forest University score 17 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, and amazed everyone, but he still couldn't play the whole game.

Georgia Tech injured two people, and he is being unfairly blamed for this.

Chen Dong glanced at Jarrett Jack, who looked a bit like Bald Qiang. That guy was known as the "starting point guard terminator." After joining the NBA, the starting point guards of his teams would inexplicably get injured, and then he would successfully become the starting point guard.

"Jack is definitely the starting point guard now, and absolutely irreplaceable."

Therefore, if a teammate gets injured, we'll choose from other positions.

"If we really had to choose a Grim Reaper, Jack would be the true Grim Reaper!!!"

Offstage, Chen Dong thought to himself that only the person who is being blamed knows how unjustly they are being blamed.

After Chen Dong left the field, the outcome of the match was not yet over.

However, Wake Forest University's final defensive strategy worked.

On the court, as Chris Paul closely pressed Jarrett Jack, Chris Ellis, the defensive anchor, also lunged at Jack at the same time.

As a result, Jack lost his influence on the game, and the remaining role players failed to step up like Chen Dong.

By copying each other's defensive tactics, Wake Forest University built a four-point lead in just two minutes and successfully maintained it until the end.

Om-!

Jarrett Jack stood with his hands on his hips, glancing resentfully at the final score on the scoreboard: 77 to 81.

"The locals are so rude."

"Copying homework in front of others, that's so unsportsmanlike," he remarked, before slinking away with the team from this heartbreaking place.

Wake Forest University defeated Georgia Institute of Technology by 4 points, securing their first victory in the 04/05 ACC regular season.
