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

Chapter 29 You wait here, I'll go and finish this!

They took a 7-0 lead like a whirlwind, but regardless of whether the opponent wanted it or not, Florida continued to employ the tactic of double-teaming Chris Paul in their attacking defense.

They didn't care whether it was Paul taking a long-range shot or Justin Gray taking a long-range shot.

Because in addition to Li Wei, their offensive weapon, they also have mature team tactics, which will only help them score more points.

Double-teaming Paul wasn't invented by Florida, nor was it the first or last team to do it; Wake Forest University has long been accustomed to this defensive tactic.

Sure enough, the basketball was handed back to Chen Dong.

Paul, switched to off-ball mode, entered the three-point line, but his passing lanes were cut off. Is this a strict adherence to the strategy of "everyone else doesn't matter, Paul's offense must die"?

"Chen Dong put away his passing motion, raised the ball and pretended to shoot a three-pointer. Corey Brewer quickly flew out, in a hawk-like pose, intending to block Chen Dong's shot. Oh no, Chen Dong was just faking it, or rather, he waited for Corey Brewer's body to fall down in the air, and then leaned forward and pulled up for a three-pointer!"

This was a classic case of faking an accident. Brewer was in the air with nowhere to run, and oh, the three-pointer went in!!!

Chen Dong's basketball shot slammed into the basket with unstoppable force.

The whistle blew, and the referee promptly awarded the goal while also calling a foul on Brewer.

Chen Dong, lying on the floor, clenched his fists in celebration.

3+1!!!

The entire stadium fell silent for a second, and then an even more intense, tidal wave of boos erupted.

"Chen Dong, well done!"

Paul pulled Chen Dong up with both hands, then patted him on the shoulder. "Go on, make Florida feel the pain!"

Chen Dong nodded, leaving Paul, whose eyes were clear, with his back turned. "You wait here for me, I'll be right back."

Paul nodded as well.

At 183cm tall, he's indeed not suited for rebounding, and with Chen Dong's free throw ability, he doesn't need to rebound at all; he'll make every free throw. It seems like there's nothing wrong with that.

Swish-!

Chen Dong calmly made the free throw, putting on a stunning 4-point play that stung the entire audience. One offensive play was all it took to hurt the University of Florida.

4 to 7!!

Alligator's lead instantly shrank to only 3 points.

"Are all the players from Tokyo University this cunning and sly?" Corey Brewer was clearly taken aback and couldn't help but ask.

Chen Dong pointed to his head. "As Lu Xun said, you have to use your brain when playing ball, otherwise you'll always be a role player."

"Who is Lu Xun? Was he a very good player?"

Instead of getting a reply from Chen Dong, all that could be seen was his back. On the court, Chen Dong sped up and swiftly pounced on Taurean Green, who was being closely guarded on the right by Paul. As Green dodged to the left, he saw Chen Dong teleporting towards him. Before he could make any other move, the basketball in his hand had already gone out of control.

Snapped--!

"Chen Dong provides defensive support, Chen Dong intercepts the ball, and Chen Dong immediately launches a counterattack."

Instead of shooting a three-pointer, he made a layup, a simple, everyday move, to score two points on the fast break.

"Scoring 6 points in one minute, Chen Dong is simply phenomenal on both offense and defense..."

After finishing his game, Chen Dong high-fived Chris Paul on his way back on defense, then approached Corey Brewer and asked, puzzled, "What were you trying to say just now?!"

"I was focused on playing and didn't hear you!"

So, it was because I wasn't focused on the game? Corey Brewer had a cold look on his face. He secretly vowed that if he ever spoke to Chen Dong again, he would... he would make God stop loving him!

Corey Brewer suddenly became withdrawn. Chen Dong shrugged, wondering why he was like this. Sure enough, you can't talk about feelings on the basketball court. Even brothers can betray each other on basketball. It seems unlikely that you can make friends on the court.

"Although you're a little late, welcome to the NCAA, rookie!!!"

Chen Dong left Corey Brewer behind and quickly pounced on Green, who was being closely guarded by Paul.

Clearly, Green anticipated the move and chose to back down the ball.

At this moment, the off-ball screen tactics of Da Li Wei and Li Hanfleh collapsed on their own. No matter how strong your shooting is, if you can't catch the ball, your offensive threat is just an empty shell.

Corey Brewer ran over to receive the ball, and after finally getting it, he took a step forward, only to be immediately closed in on Chen Dong.

His ability to dribble and charge forward doesn't necessarily mean his ball control skills are outstanding. Facing Chen Dong's pressing, he chose to play it safe, raising the ball and swaying it left and right while swinging his elbow, instantly forcing Chen Dong back. But before he could even celebrate, Chris Paul's help defense and double-teaming came up to him.

"Oh dear, the University of Florida's weakness in organizing and controlling the ball has been thoroughly figured out."

Moreover, although Wake Forest University copied the tactics, they hit the nail on the head! "Let's see if freshman Corey Brewer can hold on!" the commentator shouted.

Oh no, Chris Paul has the hands of a thief; he stole the basketball and then launched a fast break.

Swish-!

Paul drove to the basket and easily scored a layup.

Wake Forest University, led by Chen Dong, responded with an 8-0 run.

Billy Donovan was pacing on the sidelines.

He didn't understand why the situation had suddenly turned around, as if this "double-team tactic" was destined to be disastrous for the University of Florida. Just two and a half minutes ago, their offense had clearly had the upper hand, and the scene of their vibrant energy and unstoppable momentum was still vivid in his mind.

Just two and a half minutes later, you're telling me that the "pinch tactic" has turned into their burial ground?

On the court, Taurean Green quickly passed the ball across half-court. Da Liwei received the ball at the high post, drawing out Chris Ellis, the defensive anchor in the paint. Da Liwei didn't force a shot, but slammed the ball down and passed it to Horford under the basket. Horford received the ball behind his back, pushed back, shrugged, turned to the left, then to the right, and easily scored against Rick Williams.

Bang, whoosh—!

As a second-generation basketball player, Al Horford started going in and out of the Bucks' locker room when he was two years old, playing with Paul Pusher and Jack Sikma's son. Most of the time, basketballs, which were bigger than their heads, were their toys.

Ten years of training, how can one possibly beat three generations of hard work?

Moreover, Horford's talent is top-notch, and with over a decade of training, how could you possibly withstand the power he unleashed?

Seeing this, Billy Donovan stopped walking. No matter what, the score was 9 to 8. It was obvious that Horford and David Lee were stronger in the paint. The overall strength of the game was definitely 2 to 0, and the advantage was in our hands!

Wake Forest University had an advantage on the perimeter, while Florida University had an absolute advantage in the paint. So why did Donovan panic, instead of Prosser on the other side?
