NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 83
Carmelo Anthony has always felt that although he was beaten 21-5 by Juwan in the last game, in terms of personal scoring ability, this guy must not be as good as him!
This guy is better by relying on his teammates, where he pretends to be a tiger...

If the roles of the two of them were switched, he would definitely want Zhu Wan to know what cruelty is!
This is also the reason why he held his breath and wanted to meet Zhu Wan again in the NCAA National Championships, because he felt that he would definitely beat this guy!
God still gave him a chance. Along the way, he really entered the finals from a "wild card", and met Zhu Wan again as he wished. Moreover, his teammates also completed the transformation during this period, and truly became helpers who can share part of the pressure for him.

It was they who held up the stalemate for the first few minutes before giving him the chance to confront Zhu Wan...

Originally, he thought that with his hard work in the past few months, he would be able to easily suppress Zhu Wan in the duel, but he didn't expect that Zhu Wan's singles ability with the ball is so good now!

While he was improving, this guy was also improving crazily.

And the speed of progress is still so fast...

You said, how can this not surprise him!

The scouts and general managers at the scene were also very addicted to the confrontation between Carmelo Anthony and Zhu Wan. Of course, like Anthony, they also had a lot of improvement on Zhu Wan's offensive ability with the ball.

After all, in so many games before, there are reasons for Connecticut's own strength and Zhuwan's personal style of play. In short, not many people think that this guy's singles ability with the ball is so good. At least there should be some gaps compared with Anthony!

Compared with Carmelo Anthony, he wins in all aspects.

Unexpectedly, in this game, when the team desperately needed someone to step up and score, he could use his singles with the ball to keep the team in a weak lead again and again.

Zhu Wan, who was on the bench, shook his head slightly, and murmured in his heart: Sure enough, he still can't beat this group of heaven's favored sons!

Anthony had 13 points in the first half, and he scored 11 points. Although not bad, in his opinion, he was barely keeping up with Anthony's scoring rhythm...

It's nothing to be proud of!
You know, in the past year, he has followed Barkley and Olajuwon to learn back and footwork, and usually has Ben Gordon, a future NBA player, as a training partner. If there is no decent progress, how can he average a triple-double in the regular season?The sewer is one aspect, and his own strength is another aspect.

It can only be seen from the match against Carmelo Anthony in the first half that compared with the real "Heaven's Chosen One", his offensive ability with the ball is even a little bit worse.

Don't say that between 11 points and 13 points, there is actually one more goal and one less goal. If Zhu Wan's singles ability with the ball is really higher than Anthony, then at the end of the first half, he should have scored more points than the latter!

However, Zhu Wan also expected this result. His physical fitness really needs to be further strengthened this summer, and Carmelo Anthony averaged 21 points per game when he entered the league, and now he is slightly weaker than him.
Anyway, the most difficult period is over.

Towards the end of the first half, Juwan noticed that Ben Gordon hit both of his last two shots.

That means the guy has finally found his touch!
Zhu Wan doesn't need to hold on any longer...

Change the style of play in the second half!
Zhu Wan thought about how to play the second half in his mind, and drank the last sip of Gatorade, just at this time the buzzer sounded to symbolize the start of the second half.

"Let's go, the last 20 minutes!"

"The battle is over!"

Zhu Wan stood up first.

Su Yangjun on the sidelines took the opportunity to give him a close-up.

The confrontation between Zhu Wan and Carmelo Anthony in the first half surprised many people, including them. It is still very rare in China for China's outside players to be able to confront each other like this.

Especially his ability to link back and footwork.

This was approved by Zhang Weiping.

In the first half, this guy said at least eight times: "This young man really understands big butts!"

For the first goal in the second half, Zhu Wan seemed to be attacking with the ball himself.

Anthony chose to defend closely this time. After the matchup in the first half, he could feel that Zhu Wan's explosive power was much worse than his.

Zhu Wan was forced to protect the ball with his back.

Of course, with his butt pouted, Anthony was helpless.

I could only use my hands secretly, and push twice from time to time to interfere.

But just after he pushed twice in a row, Zhu Wan suddenly turned back and turned directly from his left. Anthony was about to move laterally, but was blocked by a thick "human wall".

Looking up, a simple and honest smiling face appeared in front of him.

But it reminded him of some unpleasant things!
I really want to punch this b face twice.

Can make Anthony so angry.

In addition to Juwan, Connecticut only has Okafor...

The quality of Okafor's pick-and-roll was very good, and it stuck Anthony to death.

Walking back and forth in small steps, I couldn't find a space to squeeze through for a long time.

Can only go in a big circle.

But at this time Zhu Wan had already reached the basket.

Facing the "helicopter" with the best physical fitness, when Zhu Wan was about to reach the basket, he suddenly dropped his shoulders and jumped from under the basket.

Zhu Wan really made a layup action as soon as he got to the basket on the other side. He quickly covered it with his big hand, but Zhu Wan's pivot foot did not move, and the other foot walked back. Then he jumped with energy and hooked the ball with one hand.

Under Varrick's "empty hat", he looks very chic.

There were bursts of cheers.

Zhu Wan once again demonstrated the magic of "jelly layup".

There are too many opportunities and angles to shoot at the basket.

Learn it, learn it, learn it!
Gerry dribbles across half court, finds Anthony and continues to hand him the ball.

Zhu Wan did not give space as he did in the first half. This time he directly chose to stick to the body. Obviously, when the second half came, Connecticut planned to use the "crowd tactics" of "surrounding and suppressing Anthony" again!
After Anthony passed Juwan in one step, facing Okafor who quickly defended, he didn't force his shot this time. After "March Madness" went, he now trusts his teammates even more.

A "fake pass" through ball to Warrick under the basket.

The "helicopter" soared into the sky and completed a jump dunk on the spot.

With such a vertical take-off height, it is no wonder that even Anthony sighed: "In terms of jumping, I am not as good as him!"

In Toronto, a black child who was stuffing potato chips into his big mouth looked at this vertical dunk with envy on his face: "I wish I could bounce like this when I grow up!"

It was only when he was watching the replay that he found a fly in the ointment. This guy had to bend his knees so much to jump so high.

"If only I could jump this high when I grow up with just a little knee bend!"

God: Depending on you, depending on you, depending on you, I will give you a heart that wants to keep healthy at a young age, so that you can have a better bounce than this at the age of 40.

Bill Walton noticed some subtle changes in UConn and Syracuse University on both ends of the offense and defense: "When both sides came up, they changed their style of play!"

Drexler nodded, and added: "This is also normal. There are guys on both sides who can make a final decision at a critical moment. Under such circumstances, the time to decide the outcome will naturally be advanced!"

This is really the voice of Jim Cahon and Jim Boyheim.

After witnessing the confrontation between Zhu Wan and Carmelo Anthony in the first half, the two of them have only one thought about these two people: be afraid...

Absolutely don't let this kid have a chance to kill!
The two sides just added a lot of support around Juwan and Anthony.

This made the next few rounds more like a melee between teams!
The guys from Syracuse University once again proved that they can share the pressure on Anthony, and they all performed well.

This is why Jim Cahorn didn't try to limit Anthony in the first half. Today is different from the past, and the rest of Syracuse University's state is up, which is enough for Connecticut to drink a pot!

Plus Carmelo Anthony...

In the first half, Syracuse University didn't have more lines to blossom in the end!

Of course, now, the status of several other points in Connecticut has risen, so the "crowd tactics" can be used again.

Uh...except for Ben Gordon.

This guy is still hitting the ball with an efficiency of 1 for n shots.

Fortunately, Okafor performed very well during this period, otherwise Juwan would have to grit his teeth again... But it is not good for Juwan to put pressure on Ben Gordon at this time, so I can only pray that this guy will quickly recover by himself.

The two sides just fought back and forth like this!
In the blink of an eye, there were less than 20 minutes left in the 10 minutes of the second half.

Connecticut is still only leading by 3 points.

No one expected that this game would turn out like this.

It is worth mentioning that during this period of time, the NBA teams' ability to respond to Carmelo Anthony has also improved. When this guy wants to pass the ball, he is quite conscious.

Although the route of passing the ball is a bit fixed, and the idea of ​​​​his own shot is still more important than passing the ball...

"beep!"

Jim Cajon called a timeout first.

Now that this game has been played, it has gone from a decisive battle to a bayonet fight!

At this time, whoever stabs the knife more accurately and more deadly will win the final victory...

It's time to shine the sword!

"listen……"

"Frankly speaking, the difficulty of this game was beyond my expectation, but even now, we are still the leading side, and I still believe that we are the stronger side. If we show our true strength, I believe that we still have the strength to overwhelm the opponent!"

"Come on, boys!"

After some explanation, Jim Cahon threw the tactical board aside, and it was another "chicken soup".

This made them a little more energetic than before when they played.

Jim Cahorn was not wrong. Even though the opponent was so inextricably tied to them, they are still the leading side. They are also the better side on paper. The reason why they are still deadlocked is that the opponent is better than them in some aspects!

But don't let me catch you, stinky brother!
Otherwise, you will be boiled in one pot!
When Syracuse University played, they were also full of momentum, and they obviously ate a pot of "chicken soup".

However, Connecticut's suspension adjustment seems to have really found the weak link of Syracuse University. ——They hit the inside in several consecutive waves, and they all gained. They either scored directly or caused fouls by their opponents!

Successfully scored points for several rounds in a row.

The point difference has also been stretched to more than 6 points in these few rounds!
Although the scores are similar, but in today's game, it is already the biggest score difference so far.

Of course, the more important thing is that the game time has lost more than 5 minutes without knowing it, and there are still more than 4 minutes left. At this time, the score is suddenly opened. One can imagine the blow to Syracuse University!

"It's actually pretty good. Syracuse University has been able to support it until now!" Barkley couldn't help but muttered. Although he was on Juwan's side, Syracuse University's performance today has really exceeded the imagination of many people. You know, even if they lose, they are already the team that has put the most pressure on Connecticut this year.

Worthy of the name of the runner-up!

So, lose or lose...

"Shh!"

But the second after Barkley finished speaking, Carmelo Anthony used a key three-pointer to narrow the point difference to 4 points again.

They have another chance!
Who said we were bound to lose?
While returning to defense, Carmelo Anthony glared at the Connecticut crowd following him, and poked himself on the head with three fingers.

Domineering color, full of no doubt.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face, and Barkley smiled awkwardly.

Zhu Wan: Shut up now, I've beaten you hard, and you're going to come and hurt me with "poisonous milk"!
You still go to support Syracuse University!
"Zhu Wan was flanked with the ball. It seems that Syracuse University doesn't want Zhu Wan to have the chance to respond with the ball!"

"Juwan pass the ball!"

"Ben Gordon got the ball!"

"He wasn't in very good form in this game, let's see this shot, he... made it!"

"Go in!"

"Pretty!"

"This three-point goal is too critical!"

"Okay, Syracuse University called a timeout..."

"Boy, yes! The value of this ball is enough to make you miss ten more balls in front!"

Zhu Wan came off the stage and praised Ben Gordon fiercely.

It's just that Ben Gordon was both happy and embarrassed when he praised this.

He has scored a total of 3 goals so far in this game. Except for the three-pointer he just hit, he scored two goals at the last moment of the first half.

Although relying on his three-pointer, Connecticut opened the point difference to 7 points.

But it seems that if he didn't miss so many shots in front of him, Connecticut wouldn't be in such a difficult situation...

Zhu Wan didn't know that Ben Gordon had so many inside ideas, he was really praising Ben Gordon.

No wonder it was later called "Jordan at the critical moment"!

The essence of the killer at this critical moment is really the same as Jordan.

Speaking of it, I also believed in this guy's key ball. Zhu Wancai passed the ball to him when his shooting state was not good tonight.

Fortunately, in the end, Ben Gordon proved that his killer essence is innate.

"Do you think we can win?" Ray Allen asked Hamilton next to him while taking a break.

Hamilton shook his head. It's really hard to say. The 7-point advantage seems to be quite big, but considering that there is Carmelo Anthony on the opposite side, it can't be said that he will definitely win!

The two looked up at the time, and there were nearly 2 minutes left...

Caron Butler naturally heard the exchange between the two of them, but his qualifications were still relatively low, and he was a "younger brother". Even if he had full confidence in Juwan and the Okafor brothers, he couldn't get in their mouths and said, "I believe that we will have the last laugh."

Of course, while waiting for the game to start, he unconsciously stretched his hand into his pocket, believing it, but at this moment, he was really nervous, so nervous that he couldn't help but want to chew the straw...

The game restarted quickly, and Syracuse University launched a fierce offensive as soon as they came up, and Gerry dribbled the ball across the half court a second or two faster than usual.

They are showing their attitude in this way!

There is no way we will admit defeat so quickly!

It's just that no one expected that after this guy quickly advanced to the frontcourt, he actually shot a three-pointer directly at the top of the arc, and he helped the team recover the point difference back to 4 points.

His hand came suddenly.

Phil was not prepared at all, and the ball had already left his hands without any interference at all.

"This kid really dares to vote!"

His shot made Bill Wharton look a little sideways.

Gerry, on the other hand, stuck out three fingers and poked his head just like Anthony did just now.

Who said that Syracuse University has only one "Mr. Key"!

One thing that no one knows is that in the Big East next year, this guy will use such a top-of-the-arc three-pointer to kill Georgetown at the buzzer. The blood of the "key ball" flows on Juwan and Anthony, on Ben Gordon, and also on Gerry McNamara!
Now, the defense on both sides is not easy to arrange.

However, for Jim Cahon's headache, Zhu Wan told him with a mid-range turnaround jumper that he didn't need to be so entangled.

The point difference returned to 6 points.

"You have to double-team that guy, and you can't give him room to shoot!"

This was the first thought that popped into Jim Boyheim's mind when he watched Juwan score the goal.

The first person to take action was Jim Cahon.

The moment Carmelo Anthony got the ball, the scene of this guy scoring in Jim Cahon's mind made him wave his hand, regardless of Gerry's just made a three-pointer, double-teaming!

The ball is given back to Gerry.

Ben Gordon's close entanglement forced him to break through.

This guy "turned back and looked at the moon" gave the ball to the second position of Syracuse University on the outside line, and continued to pass the ball again, and the ball was in Anthony's hands again.

Zhu Wan's close defense forced him to break through, and Okafor quickly came up to defend, and the two of them were already very proficient in this old-fashioned continuous attack.

But at the same time that Anthony jumped up, Zhu Wan suddenly turned his head and ran towards the basket.

"Snapped!"

Then when he was about to reach the basket, he "turned back and pulled" and snatched the pass from Anthony's "fake shot" to Warrick.

Don't you know that the same moves are useless against Saints?

Zhu Wan has always remembered the cooperation between Anthony and Warrick before, and in this game until now, Jim Cahoun has almost touched Anthony's fixed passing route.

At that moment, Zhuwan was sure that this guy would still be a "fake throw and real pass" to Warrick's through ball.

Of course, there is no absolute basis for this determination.

If he had to say it, it was what Zhu Wan's judgment on the situation told him.

And even if Anthony shoots himself, he can fill Okafor's vacancy and compete for defensive rebounds.

The result is that he won the bet.

"Bah!"

Juwan, who completed the steal, made a quick down, and Connecticut ended the fast break with a dunk under his command.

With 1 minute left in the game, the point difference once again broke through the record high of this game, reaching eight points.

Everyone can see that the balance of victory has gradually tilted towards Connecticut...
