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

After the timeout, JJ Redick dribbled the ball up the court, and Paul pressed him from the halfway line, but crashed into Shavrov's physical wall.

After breaking through to the three-point line, JJ Redick pulled up, raised his hand, and launched a three-pointer that went in.

Swish-!

Three points, though late, have arrived.

The Blue Devils fans in the stands erupted in cheers, and their "scorer JJ" danced and celebrated wildly, his face beaming with the confidence that America never loses, as if he were a born winner.

10 to 5!!

In the fourth minute, JJ Redick, still using Randolph's screen, didn't shoot a three-pointer. Instead, he dribbled forward, drove to the free-throw line, and pulled up for a powerful pull-up jumper.

Finally, Redick's offense came alive.

Meanwhile, at Wake Forest University, Chris Paul first broke through Daniel Ewing's defense and assisted Rick Williams for a layup. Then, Paul drove to the free-throw line and hit a jump shot for two points in response.

"Each team's star player became the main offensive force after the timeout, and neither of them messed up their role!!!"

"The difference is that JJ Redick handles both playmaking and scoring, no longer just a sharpshooter off the ball, but an all-around combo guard."

As for Chris Paul, he returned to his familiar ball-handling style of play.

Now Duke University has become a heretical institution, while Wake Forest University has set things right, and Paul has returned to the right path…”

Is Chen Dong about to become a mere spectator, or will he continue playing his role as a mere spectator?

Do not!

In the 5th minute, Paul inbounded the ball from the top of the arc. Chen Dong made a reverse cut on the wing, shook off Lee Melchior's defense, cut to the three-point line, received an assist from Paul, and in front of "Landlord" Sheldon Williams, he pulled up the ball, twisted his waist, pushed off with his foot, and released the shot, calmly sinking a two-point pull-up jumper.

After scoring, Chen Dong shouted at Sheldon Williams in the penalty area, "Come on!!!"

"Useless trash who only stays in the restricted area."

"What did you say?!"

Sheldon Williams got angry and rushed over to shove Chen Dong, who didn't flinch and shoved back.

Sheldon Williams kept babbling on and on, "What do you know???"

I'm the frontrunner for the ACC Defensive Player of the Year award, and even in the entire college league, I'm among the top three frontrunners for Defensive Player of the Year.

"None of that changes the fact that you're a piece of trash who can't even leave the restricted area," Chen Dong continued.

"I am Shaquille O'Neal of the NCAA."

"You're trash from the restricted area."

The two sides started pushing and shoving each other again.

The referee couldn't stand it anymore and gave each of them a technical foul.

Another round of boos erupted from the stands, clearly expressing dissatisfaction with the referee's decision and Chen Dong's provocation.

With Chen Dong making his technical foul free throw, while Sheldon Williams missed, the discontent and boos reached their peak. Unfortunately for Sheldon Williams, he couldn't even get a free throw outside the paint!

They could only be angry at his lack of effort. After Chen Dong shook his head, Sheldon Williams could only slink away, perhaps only able to offer the consolation, "Shaquille O'Neal did it too!!!"

This is what's called a traditional center!

He won't make it in the NBA in the future, but Sheldon Williams is a first-round draft-caliber talented center right now.

In the sixth minute, Chen Dong replaced Paul and began pressing JJ Redick throughout the game.

When you're out in the world, you choose your own identity. Rather than worrying about whether to start or come off the bench, Chen Dong prefers to play his own 25 minutes well and redefine the player like "25-minute Jordan," just like the legendary "Demon Blade."

"Tokyo University players, you can't handle this!"

"Stop your gauntlet tactics and get Chris Paul over here. I want to fight him one-on-one." JJ Redick had the face of a Ferrari winner, but his voice was as low as a tractor's, which could be summed up in one word: idiotic.

Chen Dong didn't respond, but instead focused his energy on a tight grip. Redick kept saying "You can't stop him" but didn't push the offense forward. He finally got Randolph's screen to support him, but Chris Ellis, the defensive stalwart, came over to harass him. Redick, who wasn't a proper point guard, was neither able to pass nor shoot.

Finally, JJ Redick passed the buck to Daniel Ewing, who came to receive the pass. Paul's close marking and Chen Dong's subsequent help defense and steal both rushed towards Daniel Ewing.

Snapped--!

"Chen Dong made a precise interception and immediately launched a counterattack."

With a two-on-one situation in the frontcourt, Wake Forest University had an excellent offensive opportunity.

"What the hell?!" the commentator roared. "Chen Dong pulled up and shot from a step away from the regular three-point line. This shot was extremely unreasonable and not a correct offensive choice."

Oh, it got in?

Swish!!!

With a swift and decisive move, Chen Dong launched a counterattack, sinking a three-pointer from beyond the arc, bringing his personal scoring total to 14 points and making him the most dazzling player on the court.

After scoring, Chen Dong immediately pressed JJ Redick closely throughout the game, saying casually, "Please continue, that pass was really good."

You want to go one-on-one with Chris Paul? Your teammate Daniel Ewing can't handle that.

JJ Redick's face turned slightly red with anger; even a victorious face can become furious.

Chen Dong pressed and entangled them, but instead of stopping, he intensified his efforts.

After finally crossing half-court, Redick didn't continue with the pick-and-roll or pass to Daniel Ewing. Instead, he passed to Lee Melchior, who drove to the basket for two points and then passed to Sheldon Williams under the basket.

Duke University's outside shooting is ineffective, but their inside game remains an advantage.

Bang-!

Sheldon Williams backed down Rick Williams' defense and then turned and banked in a two-pointer.

This is the true strength of the prestigious Duke University!!!

While their roster may seem to have weaknesses, their exceptional talent means they have none.

If we have to point out a weakness, it's that they've used top high school talent as role players in the NCAA.

When necessary, even an ordinary role player can become a star and change the course of the game.

Off the court, Coach K couldn't help but applaud the players on the court when he saw this situation. Just looking at the data, Duke University is a team that can score 25 points per game with JJ Redick. But when you look at the top-notch players and the team's tactical system, this is still Coach K's team.

Next, JJ Redick didn't continue dribbling the ball, but switched back to off-ball offense. Using Randolph's screen under the basket, he shook off Chen Dong by a body length, and then received a pass from Randolph. He took a shot from the left three-point wing and swished it in, sinking a very inspiring three-pointer.

This shot gave everyone at Duke a belief that if JJ Redick could get the ball in an open shot, he could make that damn shot!

Wake Forest University ultimately struggled to stop a shooter of JJ Redick's caliber from scoring.

Duke University's perimeter point guard can't pass the ball, but they can let Randolph in the paint act as the playmaking hub, and still set up JJ Redick. That's the terrifying thing about a system player.

Their offensive firepower is built on the shoulders of a strong team. No matter how good Paul's defense is, how hard Chen Dong's defense is, or how tight Wake Forest University's defensive tactics are, there will always be times when the defense can't cover everything, especially since JJ Redick's shooting range extends to beyond the three-point line, and he can also shoot an average of 45% from three-point range.

At this moment, Chen Dong felt like he wasn't guarding JJ Redick, but Curry. What was he supposed to use to defend him?!

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 45-40. Wake Forest University took the lead with an unexpected tactic. Chen Dong scored 14 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds in the quarter, surpassing JJ Redick's 12 points in the quarter. The away team took the initiative and gained a 5-point lead. The suspense of the game was left for the second half.
