Who will be the role players now that everyone's been reborn?
Chapter 30 Whoever controls the paddle controls victory and defeat!
Prossel, who also clearly understood the situation on the court, was not in a hurry. "If Wake Forest University were bullied when Paul was leading the team alone, I might be very anxious."
Now, with Paul and Chen Dong essentially leading the team together, how can Wake Forest University be bullied? Wouldn't this dual-core approach be a waste of effort?
"Moreover, Wake Forest University is currently riding high, and everyone is working hard when things are going well. Even I can't tell whether this version of Wake Forest University is led by a dual-core team or a multi-core team."
Does it not matter anymore?
All I know is that Wake Forest has won 13 straight games, and nothing can stop them from achieving their 14th consecutive victory!
On the court, Florida University's determination to eliminate Paul remained undiminished, and their double-teaming of him never ceased.
Paul and Chen Dong executed a one-two pass and cut on the outside, attempting to close the attacking distance to hurt Alligator. However, while Paul did pass the ball over, Chen Dong didn't seem to have the awareness to act as a wall.
Chen Dong received the ball and challenged Corey Brewer one-on-one. He started with a quick probing step. Brewer didn't take the bait and refrained from jumping out to block. However, he opened his eyes wide and saw Chen Dong raise the ball and shoot. He released the three-pointer without any hesitation. By the time Brewer tried to rush out, it was too late.
Swish-!
Chen Dong's three-pointer once again pierced the Florida University's basket.
"Rookie, your defense was pretty good just now!"
You successfully defended my four-pointer.
After scoring, Chen Dong said this.
"What did you say?!"
Corey Brewer's black face darkened even more.
Chen Dong shrugged, realizing that not everyone likes compliments!
It's impossible to please everyone!
Boos erupted from the stands; it seemed they had no intention of ending the match from the start.
Back to the starting lineup, David Lee continued playing forward. He took a step forward, faked out Chris Ellis, and drove to the basket with a Euro step. Facing Rick Williams' help defense and block, he slammed the ball in over him and answered the call.
In the NBA, David Lee broke through limitations by playing under pressure and gradually grew into an All-Star, but in the NCAA, he could have relied entirely on his physical talent.
Not to mention that he is already in fourth grade and has mastered the technique.
The fundamentals weren't Duncan's family secret. David Lee wanted to improve and had the money and determination. There's no reason why Duncan could do it and he couldn't.
In the 15th minute of the first half, Chen Dong, who had already scored 11 points and 2 assists, lost his offensive form. Paul took over the baton, successfully received the pass after the wall pass, dribbled into the paint, faked a shot, then stepped back to the three-point line and launched a three-pointer, which never missed.
Swish!!!
On the court, the situation remained one of you destroying my outside shooting, and me breaking your inside shooting.
"It's been 15 minutes already. Anyone would be done by now." Noah, standing off the court, shook Billy Donovan's hand, his anxiety tinged with sincerity. "Coach, I want to play basketball!"
Let me step in and end this mutually destructive situation!
"If you listen to me, I'll let you play!" Donovan was really afraid that Noah would quit basketball and go back to inherit his father's tennis career, so he chose to appease him rather than use his authority as a college coach to forcefully suppress him.
"I'm very obedient," Noah nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, then you'll be a good boy and sit on the bench." Donovan continued to manipulate Noah, "You're the team's secret weapon!"
I won't let you take action unless it's absolutely necessary.
Noah felt like he'd heard his coach's words somewhere before, but then he couldn't quite place them.
It just feels familiar!
wrong!
Should I obey or disobey?
so hard!
In the first half, Justin Gray and Lee Humphrey, the two off-the-ball shooters, were almost invisible, and their duel was evenly matched.
Rick Williams and Chris Ellis, both inside players, were far from being as talented or skilled as they could be. They were easily outmatched by the twin towers of David Lee and Al Horford. One side consisted of players who couldn't even play in the NBA, while the other side had been selected to the NBA All-Star team multiple times. The difference between them wasn't just one or two stories, but three or four.
The unexpected turn of events occurred in the matchup between Chen Dong and Brewer. With Brewer's talent, his future was promising, and he was definitely a top-ten seed in the draft, which was good news. However, the bad news was that Brewer's player comparison was "Garnett II." No rookie labeled with this comparison could withstand the pressure it brought, let alone Brewer, who was still a freshman. He was blown out, or rather, he was slaughtered, allowing Chen Dong to score a terrifying 13 points and 3 assists in the first half. In addition, Paul's strength against Taurean Green was 8000 points to 5800 points.
With the score at 45-46, the first half ended with Wake Forest University holding a narrow one-point lead thanks to their superior three-point shooting.
Returning for the second half, Wake Forest University took the initiative, having Chen Dong hand over the defense of Corey Brewer, whom he had previously dealt with, to Chris Ellis. As for David Lee, who had scored 11 points and 4 assists in the first half, Chen Dong was tasked with dealing with him.
Attacking your best defender might be unnecessary, but defending against your best attacker is of paramount importance in controlling the game.
In the first minute of the second half, David Lee was immediately marked and tightly marked by Chen Dong.
Stop now!
"LeBron, I'm taking your scoring weapon."
Chen Dong provoked David Lee, who played point forward and was a versatile scorer who could drive, shoot, and shoot. If his physical talent was also top-notch, he would definitely be a top-ten draft prospect because he had mastered the fundamentals.
However, no matter how you look at it, David Lee's greatest strength is his jump shot. He has the physical gifts, but not enough to carry the entire game. "So, by taking away David Lee's shooting skills, I've already won half the battle..."
The remaining half, naturally, was David Lee's inability to make a jump shot due to Chen Dong's defense.
If it makes the shot, then... if it's that unreasonable, even if Kobe were to defend it, it wouldn't make a difference!
Clang!
David Lee's step-back fadeaway jumper missed the mark.
In the first round, Chen Dong won—oh wait, Horford scored on a second-chance opportunity.
Chen Dong won against an individual and against a team, but that doesn't count as a win.
Turning back, Chen Dong had the ball on the wing but didn't continue attacking. He made a surgical pass to Paul, who cut into the paint without the ball. Paul then broke through and passed the ball to Rick Williams, who slammed it home with both hands for two points.
"Let's do it!" Prosser applauded from the sidelines.
Using Chen Dong's strongest weapon to destroy the University of Florida, and then using Paul's own system to deal damage, what seems like a battle between Wake Forest University's two outside shooters and Florida's two inside towers is actually a battle of wits between Paul and Horford.
No matter how good Horford is, he's still just one person.
No matter how talented Horford is, he's still just a first-year player; he can't carry his teammates.
Paul is not only a great player on his own, but he can also carry the team's offense.
With 6 minutes left in the second half, Wake Forest University gradually took control of the game. David Lee only made 1 of 4 shots against Chen Dong, while Chris Paul, although only making 1 of 1 shots and scoring 2 points, assisted his teammates to make 3 of 4 shots. Horford, no matter what, is still just a freshman. He has great talent, but he has not fully realized it. His performance on the court is inconsistent. Rick Williams has gradually figured out his situation, which has greatly reduced his offensive scoring.
Wake Forest University went on a 10-5 run, forcing the University of Florida to call a timeout.
At this point, the opponent had already made their move. Donovan's coaching ability was far superior to Prosser's, and there was no reason for him to stand idly by while being attacked.
Come out!
A lineup of one small player and four big players.
Let Wake Forest University feel the pain and despair of knowing that talent can really do whatever it wants!
After the timeout, Billy Donovan fielded a phenomenal lineup: center Horford, power forward Noah, small forward Corey Brewer, shooting guard David Lee, and point guard Taulin Green.
In the 7th minute, David Lee, at the top of the three-point line, facing Chen Dong's block, raised his hand and launched a three-point pull-up jump shot without the slightest hesitation.
With a height of 2.06 meters versus 2.01 meters, the advantage lies with Wei Li.
But basketball isn't about counting; Chen Dong failed to block the shot, but the rim blocked David Lee's three-point attempt.
Clang!
"What a pity."
The three-pointer missed.
A 2.06-meter tall guy floating on the perimeter shooting threes, what is the University of Florida trying to do?
"No, Noah grabbed the offensive rebound, but instead of immediately going for a layup, he passed the ball to Green on the perimeter, who then launched another three-pointer..."
Swish-!
Paul was caught off guard.
Surprisingly, Green actually dared to shoot and actually made the shot.
Wake Forest University's hard-earned 6-point lead was instantly reduced to 3 points.
Indeed, three-pointers are the best weapon for coming back from behind!
Seeing this, Donovan revealed an expression of complete control, "If once doesn't work, twice won't work either."
The third time will definitely work.
"Besides Taurean, who is 1.83 meters tall, the other four players are all over 2.06 meters tall, and their physical talents are all top-notch. Who can rebound better than me?"
There's a saying on the basketball court: Whoever controls the rebounds controls the game!
