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

"Damn, Wake Forest University is going to submit their application?"

In the Bobcats' tactics room, Jordan looked furious when he saw Wake Forest University bring in Chen Dong. "What the hell? What's with bringing in an Asian perimeter player?"

It's not surprising that Jordan, who has already retired for the second time, would pay attention to an ordinary NCAA game.

Although the 04/05 NBA regular season had only just begun, it didn't stop the Bobcats' management from "considering the draft and team building for the next season."

As a minority shareholder and the person in charge of managing the Bobcats, Jordan naturally had to be personally involved in the team's draft process.

It's said that the college basketball atmosphere in North Carolina is incredibly strong, even surpassing that of the NBA.

As a newcomer, the Bobcats couldn't compete in the basketball market, so they naturally chose to join.

With Okafor already in the paint and Gerald Wallace on the wing, their next target for strengthening the team through the draft is naturally the point guard position.

Felton of North Carolina and Paul of Wake Forest are undoubtedly their top choices.

"Is this a big bet?" Head coach Bernie Bixduff asked with a smile.

Basketball, gambling, and golf—those familiar with Jordan know these are his three main hobbies.

Jordan, who has brought his winning mentality to gambling, calmly said: "It doesn't matter how big or small the bet is, I only care about winning or losing."

"However, it's also a good thing!"

Chris Paul is now facing even greater pressure.

When players' talent levels are roughly equal, observing their performance under adversity reveals a player's true character.

on the field.

Chen Dong ran to the frontcourt, not yet ready for a one-on-one play, but Chris Paul passed the ball to him.

Seeing this, Azubuk immediately lunged forward to steal the ball. Chen Dong clenched his right hand, firmly gripping the basketball, and stylishly moved his hand behind him, his left shoulder slamming into the defender's chest. Just as Azubuk was about to retreat after failing to get the ball, he saw Chen Dong's grip falter, revealing an opening. An opportunity! His eyes lit up, and he continued to reach out to steal the ball.

"Chen, your cool one-handed ball catch is about to go wrong. He's being pressured by Azubuike, and the ball is about to be lost," exclaimed Leonard Jack, the commentator off the court.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Dong executed a spectacular turn and dribble past his opponent on the court.

Turn around!

Shot!

accelerate!

One step and you're done!!

From revealing a weakness and nearly losing the ball, to turning around and dribbling past his opponent with ease, Chen Dong only took one second.

I think I've been scammed!

Azubuk was a little confused, but his mind became unusually clear afterward. The Dongda players were too cunning; the flaw he had just made must have been a flaw that Chen Dong had deliberately exposed.

As Lu Xun once said, playing ball requires brainpower, otherwise you'll be a role player your whole life.

Azubuke is 1.96 meters tall, has top-notch athleticism, and spent two and a half years practicing defense at the University of Kentucky. He has experience and awareness, plus his innate talent, making him both strong and tough.

With Chen Dong's height of 2.01 meters, it's definitely impossible to break through using speed and strength. In addition, he doesn't have the tactical status of James, who can use pick-and-roll tactics to break the deadlock when he can't beat him.

If you can't break through, you'll be closely guarded and forced to shoot.

Chen Dong had no choice but to resort to the Thirty-Six Stratagems of his ancestors—to feign weakness and lure the snake out of its hole.

Chen Dong burst into action at full speed, getting past Azubuk and, like a pawn crossing the river on a chessboard, instantly unleashed his offensive threat, igniting the enthusiasm of the fans in the stands.

The Wildcats quickly filled in, with Maurice Randolph on the left and Chuck Hayes on the right, both rushing in and unleashing a double-pronged attack in the penalty area.

Chen Dong continued as before, gathering the ball in the horn area and taking a step and jumping in the paint area.

Flying to the highest point, facing the barrier of the double ghosts knocking on the door, it's like splitting Mount Hua with one hand.

"BOOM!!!"

As he slammed the ball in, he fell flat on his face. Chen Dong grabbed the rim with one hand and didn't land immediately, hanging there for two seconds before finally coming down.

Breakthrough and change of direction without slowing down, drive to the basket and dunk without getting stuck on the rim?

Only a fool would put their knees and ankles to such a test.

Ross: ??? I'm so stupid, really!!

When they were defending, Chen Dong bumped into Azubuk with his body and said calmly, "You call this shameful? Is this all?"

"Stop it. You can't play basketball with your mouth. You'd better pray the ball isn't in my hands."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Very well, you've successfully enraged me!!!"

Azubuk glared fiercely, looking like he would never stop.

It's important to know that in the Southeastern Conference, the University of Kentucky is an invincible powerhouse, and even in the entire NCAA, the Wildcats are a top-tier team.

He himself has secured a starting position on this prestigious university team, and there is no doubt that, despite his unremarkable offensive statistics, he is a top player.

Chen Dong, a nobody with no reputation, is destined to be trampled on. How dare he resist and talk back?

Is there no law left?

Wow, there are talented players among the Tokyo University players!

Did you see that, Michael? That last offensive round, that kid played with such flair.

He is very confident and daring in his moves.

"Maybe you can keep your bet!" Bobcats head coach Bernie Bixduff laughed and clapped as he watched the televised broadcast.

Jordan rolled his eyes at him speechlessly.

"The game is still long, and this kind of opportunistic attack can only occasionally exploit the opponent's information gap."

Once the Kentucky defenders are on their guard, so-called "intuition" simply won't change the course of the game.

As for Chen Dong's breakthrough into the paint and his spectacular one-handed dunk over two defenders, even the seasoned Jordan thought, "Isn't it something anyone can do?"

On the court, Chen Dong did not stop there, even though he was focused on his one-on-one match with Azubuk.

His eagerness to improve led him to take the initiative, not because his defense was without weaknesses, but because he wanted to take advantage of his opponent's unfamiliarity with his information and take a risk.

The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!

So, when Gerald Fitch dribbled the ball up the court and tried to break through Chris Paul, Chen Dong suddenly accelerated and rushed over to double-team Gerald Fitch. Chris Paul's hand movements were quick and accurate, seizing the momentary opportunity, and decisively reached out to knock the basketball away.

"Brilliant teamwork!!" Prosser exclaimed excitedly, ready to pump his fist in celebration.

Chen Dong caught up with the out-of-control ball and immediately launched a counterattack. The extremely fast Azubuke desperately rushed over to block and entangle him, but Chen Dong used a standard probing step to force him back and create space. One second he looked at Paul on the left, and the next second, Chen Dong scooped the ball behind him to the right.

Back-to-the-basket dribble past your opponent!

Azubuk quickly shifted his defensive focus and lunged at Chen Dong, who was dribbling forward. However, Chen Dong dribbled back to the left side, drove to a position one meter beyond the regular three-point line, and pulled up for a shot...

"This is too reckless!"

An unreasonable fast break, a long-range three-pointer... oh wait, it's a jump pass.

"Chen Dong slammed the ball to the basket with both hands. Chris Paul received the ball and easily laid it off with a simple layup, scoring two points."

The commentator exclaimed, "A connection between Chen Dong and Chris Paul, a close-range two-pointer!"

Well done!

On both offense and defense, Chen Dong demonstrated a very team-oriented style.

This East Coast guard has brought an unexpected surprise to Wake Forest's wing!

35 to 32!!

Chen Dong entered the game less than a minute ago and immediately helped Wake Forest University launch a 4-0 counterattack, which was met with a tidal wave of cheers and applause in the arena.

Chen Dong, however, automatically blocked out the noise and quickly turned to defense: "The game isn't over yet, it's not time to pop the champagne."
