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

After the timeout, Georgia Tech hoped that Chen Dong would lose his rhythm after the timeout ended. They guessed the beginning, but not the end.

In the 6th minute of the second half, Paul took advantage of Chen Dong's one-two pass and cut, cut to the inside to receive the ball, and instead of driving forward to the basket, he stepped back to the three-point line. Jack was dumbfounded and could only stare wide-eyed as Paul raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

Swish-!

Paul can also hurt his opponents with his three-pointers.

The distance of the three-point line in the NCAA is different from that in the NBA.

In the 10th minute, Paul received a pass from Chen Dong and moved like he was crossing a street in the early morning, shaking off Jack's defense and directly attacking Luke Sincher's defense. The 2.16-meter tall man was like a pendulum swinging in front of Tyson's 1.83-meter speed talent, and could only take a beating.

Bang, whoosh—!

Paul quickly finished his game and scored two points off the backboard.

Under Chen Dong's guidance, Paul unleashed an extremely efficient "Moreyball" offense: three-pointers plus layups!

As Paul opened up the offense, Justin Gray began to show his former ability as the team's number one scorer. He received a pass from Paul's breakthrough, faced Will Bynum's block, raised his hand and shot a three-pointer. Swish!

Paul's scoring was just a cameo.

"Assists are Paul's strongest weapon!" As the commentator said, Paul's offense is threatening, but his assists are even more threatening.

Besides assisting on three-pointers, he can also penetrate into the paint, giving Luke Sinchel a tough time while providing crucial assists to Rick Williams.

It's that familiar rhythm again. Georgia Tech experienced firsthand the overwhelming momentum of Wake Forest University, where everyone was riding high. Wow, Prosser's motivational speech was used perfectly, like a catalyst for the newly emerging Wake Forest University.

Of course, Chen Dong's hard work was also crucial. His sudden offensive burst in the second half, and after the timeout, although his offense became more subdued and he became a supporting player, his defense was outstanding. He first helped with the block, then double-teamed the opponent to prevent a missed shot, and then, together with Paul, he contained Jarrett Jack.

When Georgia Tech's engine was suppressed, the Hornets' clumsy offense began to show.

The game unfolded as a one-sided affair, and by the time Georgia Tech recovered, Wake Forest University had won back the points they had lost and established a 7-point lead with a 20-5 run.

"It's Chen Dong again, that treasure player!"

He finished the difficult task.

"Now, it's up to Chris Paul to hold onto Wake Forest's lead while they're ahead," the commentator remarked.

On the court, Wake Forest University began to control the game. Their experience of defeating Georgia Tech twice in the regular season started to have a significant effect. Facing the double-team of Paul and Chen Dong, Jack felt deeply that his talent ceiling was insufficient.

This kind of superstar-level defensive treatment deprived this top-tier point guard, who had the potential to be drafted in the first round, of his influence on the game.

When the basketball is passed to Will Bynum, he will only go down one path: dribbling and using speed and power to solve all problems. However, Wake Forest's defense has already shrunk into the paint, so even if he manages to score, it will only hurt the team.

His scoring was so inefficient!

Jack needed to shoot to create space, but he couldn't, and instead chose to drive to the basket. Although he looked fast, he gave Wake Forest University space to set up their defensive formation.

Despite his 2.16-meter height, Luke Sinchel's physique is too slender. If he is closely guarded, his decent mid-range jump shot will lose its magic.

The remaining freshmen, Anthony Morrow and Mario West, both possess top-tier physical talent, but their offensive capabilities are insufficient to significantly impact Wake Forest University.

In the 17th minute of the second half, Paul continued to pass the ball to Chen Dong. He made off-the-ball cuts and was a threat as soon as he received the ball. Whether it was passing or training Luke Sincher, he was accurate every time.

However, Paul's off-ball cut drew Jack's defense but did not receive a pass from Chen Dong in response.

On the left wing, Chen Dong, holding the ball, easily forced back Anthony Morrow's close defense with a feint. As Anthony Morrow took a step back, he saw Chen Dong raise the ball, release it, and throw it. The basketball passed through Anthony Morrow's defenses, drew a beautiful arc, and then slammed into the basket with unstoppable force.

"Three-pointer shot, perfectly made!"

"Chen Dong's game-winning three-pointer seals the victory for Georgia Tech."

With Chris Paul's drive-and-kick system alone, Georgia Tech and Wake Forest University were evenly matched. Now, Chen Dong has taken the shot and hit a three-pointer that they don't have. What can they use to save their shattered team?

Om-!

With a buzzer sounding and the red light flashing, the game ended.

Wake Forest University emerged victorious with a score of 88-82, defeating Georgia Institute of Technology by 6 points to advance to the final of the 04/05 ACC Conference Championship.

陈东砍下15分5篮板3助攻2抢断3封盖的平平无奇的数据，不如克里斯保罗的24分10助攻4篮板，和贾斯汀格雷的16分0助2篮板也只是平分了秋色。

Judging by the result alone, Chen Dong is just a high-level role player. But if you look at the process, Chen Dong is the best player in Wake Forest University's comeback against Georgia Institute of Technology. All the points he scored were achieved under "adversity".

After the game, the Wake Forest University players quickly interacted with the fans and took their bows before jogging into the locker room.

Then, cheers were heard.

"Duke is a success!"

They held off North Carolina's counterattack!

JJ Redick did a fantastic job; his three-pointer with 58 seconds left sealed North Carolina's fate.

"Our opponent in the finals has been determined: Duke University, the team that defeated North Carolina!"

"In the regular season, we tied Duke 1-1, so it's a 50/50 chance, and the advantage isn't on our side."

"But comparisons are painful. Compared to North Carolina's 0-2 head-to-head record, the advantage lies with Wake Forest University."

"..."

Severn Forest University lost three games in the regular season, two of which were handed to them by North Carolina, and both were by a large margin without any suspense.

It's like the Rockets vs. the Jazz, the Nuggets vs. the Lakers, the Suns vs. the Spurs, and the Spurs vs. the Lakers again—I'm referring to the Lakers during the Kobe era.

After two games, Wake Forest University has developed "North Carolina phobia." If they face North Carolina in the finals, they feel completely at a psychological disadvantage, even believing that defeating North Carolina is an impossible task!

However, facing Duke did not bring the same despair as facing North Carolina.

The answer is: I'm not afraid!!!

If you're not afraid, then you're not afraid.

"Ding! System notification: Your control and movement skills have reached [Level B] and are now displayed in your skill bar. Please check."

"..."

Upon opening the system, before he could even check the settlement screen, Chen Dong heard a notification that made him so satisfied he jumped up and drew circles on his forehead.

In that case, Duke has even less to fear.
