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

How does Wake Forest University control the tempo of the game? What is their style? How do they play the basketball they excel at?

do not know!

However, the theory of handing the ball to Chris Paul and having the others spread out is scientifically sound and without any problems.

All that's left is—execution on the field!!

To truly implement effective execution, we first need to understand whether Chris Paul is a top-tier player versus Rajon Rondo, or a top-tier player versus an underdog.

As his first game in the NCAA, Rajon Rondo finally got playing time and wanted to prove himself and put more pressure on Chris Paul. He wanted to test his own abilities and find out how far he was from the top three point guards in the NCAA.

Paul, Deron, and Felton were all his role models.

After the timeout, Rondo played even harder on the defensive end, using various tactics such as close guarding and pressing on Paul.

"Hey bro, don't even think about getting past my defenses!"

Rondo, standing at 1.85 meters tall, swung his 2.13-meter-long arms, constantly aiming at the basketball, much like a tall boxer in a boxing ring frequently striking to prevent a shorter boxer from getting close to him.

Bang, bang—!

Paul quickened his dribbling pace, repeatedly changing direction with his dribbling, as if using a butterfly step to dodge a punch. Rondo saw Paul about to brush past him, so he immediately moved laterally and engaged in close body contact, like a boxing ring clinch, leaving Paul no space to throw a punch and break through.

At the same time, Azubuke's help defense quickly rushed over, forming a double-team. Paul was blocked outside the paint by the two defenders. He dribbled between his legs and took a step back, then changed direction to the right, and then passed the damn basketball to Chen Dong on the left wing.

In that instant!

Chen Dong is Paul's wingman. As Wake Forest University's second ball-handler and an all-around small forward, his responsibilities include not only scoring but also connecting the guards and the inside players.

The so-called playmaking forward is a top-tier small forward who excels at this role.

For example, Tracy McGrady.

And LeBron James!

After faking a move, Chen Dong didn't test the basket with a B-level three-pointer. Instead, he opted for a steady drive to the basket. Kentucky University has excellent mobility, and in addition to help defense, they also implemented a switch-everything defense. Hayes and Azubuke, who came back to help defend, successfully cut off Chen Dong's path to the basket.

A Dong wasn't annoyed when he couldn't break through; he passed the ball while moving, diligently executing the head coach's tactics, and passed the basketball to Chris Paul in the middle.

"pretty!

I dribbled, I dodged, I dribbled again. Paul continued to break through, while Rondo fought and retreated. At this moment, only Rondo could deal with Paul by himself.

"Wow, like a sharp blade, he broke into the paint, Paul raised his hand, pulled up and launched a floater..."

Swish-!

Although it took Chris Paul two possessions to defeat Rondo, that's very common in the NCAA. A 35-second possession allows college basketball players more time to experiment and execute the tactics set by the head coach.

"That's how it's been passed down, Chen."

"Give the ball to Paul and let him finish the game!" Prosser was increasingly satisfied with Chen Dong's performance on the court.

At this moment, Chen Dong fulfilled all the requirements that Wake Forest University had for his role.

Off the field, Keliwesse grew increasingly anxious.

He was competing with Chen Dong for the small forward position, and now that he was performing poorly while his rival was performing well, he could already sense that his starting position was in jeopardy.

In addition, Kentucky's offense is also crumbling.

Rondo, who was playing at the top of the key, was targeted. Paul closely guarded him, keeping Rondo busy and unable to focus on playmaking.

"The Wildcats' rookie point guard felt the pressure from second-year superstar point guard Chris Paul on both ends of the court."

"It all depends on whether he can hold on," the commentator said.

Meanwhile, Gerald Fitch's off-ball offense was also engaged in a cat-and-mouse chase with Justin Gray. Without Rondo's timely supply of ammunition, Gray had more room to maneuver. Even when faced with screens from Haides and pick-and-rolls from Azubuke, Gray was able to maintain a half-body length distance in pursuit.

Gerald Fitch didn't run, but instead planted bombs along the way. Without Rondo's assist to ignite the fire, what else could he do besides make Gray sweat?

The basketball finally came into Azubuk's hands.

As a small forward, he also has the task of connecting the perimeter and the inside.

As soon as he got the ball, Chen Dong's defense immediately closed in. However, Azubuk used a probing step to force the defense back. Seeing Chen Dong retreat, he raised the ball and pretended to shoot a three-pointer, trying to continue to move Chen Dong's defensive focus. He changed direction in the process and could accelerate past Chen Dong in one step, passing him like a street in the early morning.

"Chen Dong was not fooled."

"On the contrary, Azubuk couldn't help but move. Unable to fake him out, he chose to dribble and force his way through."

He went inside.

He made it to the bottom.

He ejaculated, oh wait...

Snapped--!

The sound of a hard slap rang out, followed by the referee's decisive whistle.

"Azubuk's breakthrough."

He caused a foul and earned two free throws.

"Let's look at Kentucky's free throws. The good news is they got two free throws. The bad news is..."

If the team data is correct, Kentucky's free throw percentage is only 70%...

Clang!

Standing at the free-throw line, amidst jeers and screams, Azubuk missed his first free throw.

"take it easy!

Anyway, neither your head coach nor your teammates have any expectations for your free throws.

"Without expectations, there will be no disappointment." Chen Dong fanned the flames from the side.

Clang!

He missed the second free throw as well.

Off the court, Wake Forest University fans cheered.

Finally, the tide turned, and the momentum on the field shifted in favor of their home team.

You can't even answer the easy questions correctly? What kind of basic skills do you have? You call this the prestigious University of Kentucky?

That said, the Wildcats, who usually focus on defense, are notorious for their terrible shooting and free throws.

For example, Prince, Hayes, and Rondo, all from the University of Kentucky.

They all share similar characteristics, with stunning defensive skills, but their offensive shooting is quite abstract.

Of course, not being able to shoot, or missing shots, has both advantages and disadvantages.

That's why, by practicing a lot of missed shots, you can easily develop excellent rebounding fundamentals.

Hayes, a short and stocky center, will be Yao Ming's future partner, but he is the Rockets' best rebounder.

Rondo is even more famous, and is known as the "Longzhong Team," or rather, the "Longzhong Forward."

As long as the "Gutter Turtle" (a nickname for a player who is difficult to play in the game) doesn't appear, Rondo is the most handsome rebounder in the point guard world!

Missing a free throw, or even two free throws, is very demoralizing!

As a result, in the next few minutes, the University of Kentucky lost its rhythm, and both its offense and defense were shrouded in gloom.

On the Wake Forest University side, Chen Dong's outstanding performance on both offense and defense relieved the pressure on Chris Paul.

Paul, who would later become an NBA superstar, did not disappoint his teammates. When the head coach dared to let him take the shot, putting playmaking on the back and offense on the front, he dared to show his unstoppable scoring ability. This is the destructive power that a 183cm tall player is born with.

Once upon a time, when Allen Iverson first entered the NBA, he was supposed to be playing as a point guard, but in return, he couldn't win games on offense and was one of the two defensive liability on the perimeter. It wasn't until he laid his cards on the table that he said, "I am a shooting guard."

Soon after, Iverson put on a terrifying scoring title performance multiple times throughout his subsequent basketball career!

Both Paul and Paul possess a combined 183cm height, giving Paul similar terrifying combat power.

During his senior year of high school, Paul, who was on full offensive endurance, had a super scoring feast of 61 points in a single game, which he sacrificed to his maternal grandfather!

If necessary, Chris Paul can also show his hand and lead the team to victory through scoring.

On the court, the duel between Paul and Rondo was a complete rout. Kentucky University head coach O'Doran Smith commented, "It's not that Rajon Rondo is too weak, it's that Chris Paul is too strong."

If Rondo's fighting ability is 7000 points, Chris Paul's fighting ability might be 10000 points.
