NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 84
Anthony didn't want to give up. Following Connecticut's fast break and returning to the backcourt, he keenly discovered that the opponent rushed over three people at once.

If the fast serve...

"Hakim!"

Quickly patted his teammate's butt, Anthony was already running, and Warrick knew how to get the ball and threw it into his hand.

Ball control, shoulder sinking, acceleration...the whole movement is done in one go.

Anthony rushed out alone like a wind speed dog at full speed.

"The opponent wants to attack quickly, return to defense quickly, return to defense!"

Jim Cahon noticed the scene and cried out.

In fact, before he noticed this scene, Juwan was already walking back, and even dragged Okafor along.

Don't ask, I'm just impressed by the animation of the "God of Basketball" jumping in the air to celebrate before he is scared by Larry Bird's serve and quickly puts himself in a defensive position!

In addition...

Who told us to watch "Slam Dunk"?

Sneak attack at the last moment!

Ning is Xiandao Zhang!
Juwan and Okafor retreated quickly, but Carmelo Anthony's advancing speed was fast enough, and he had already reached the frontcourt in three strides. This explosive physical talent was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

If Zhu Wan hadn't retreated quickly enough, he might have been overtaken by Anthony at this moment.

Fortunately, the defense was fast enough, and Zhu Wan and Okafor retreated into the free throw line in time.

But Anthony didn't want to give up this fast break opportunity.

It's not like there's no chance for one to two in the frontcourt!
If it wasn't 8 points behind, Anthony might not be in such a hurry.

But now he must seize the time to score a goal, so as to have a chance to make this game a miracle.

It's done!

Lowering his body, Anthony went straight to the inside. Facing Juwan and Okafor's retreat, he chose to meet the man.

Zhu Wan stepped forward to intercept as the first line of defense.

Carmelo Anthony came in front of him, leaned against his body, turned around in a rolling manner, and at the same time held the ball in his hand, facing him again and he was only one step away from the basket.

He leaned forward with his whole body, making up for the gap with his wingspan.

Here comes his signature layup move in the future - "roller layup".

But Okafor's keen judgment saw his layup route, and the big hand covered it.

Do you understand the gold content of averaging 4.2 blocks per game!

Do you dare to do this?
But before Okafor covered it with his hand, a hand came out from behind Anthony and covered it first.

Do you understand what a wingspan of 2 meters is?

"Snapped!"

Slap the ball with both palms.

In the next second, there was a huge exclamation from the audience.

And on the big screen above the stadium, Anthony's expression of encountering "double ghosts knocking on the door" is called a close-up shot.

Grinning on the ground, Anthony's first reaction was to chase the ball, but he hasn't conceded yet.

His fighting spirit is fully reflected at this moment!

But Juwan got the ball first.

Quickly dribbling to the frontcourt, Anthony chased and intercepted in various ways, but Zhu Wan didn't panic after crossing the halfway line, he pouted to protect the ball, and just dribbled there.

Looking at that posture, it seems that he will be transported to the end of time.

But he still has the confidence.

There are only the last forty seconds left in the game, and the NCAA can play for 35 seconds in a round.

Even if Zhu Wan fights for the timeout in this round, there will only be about ten seconds left in the end, and Syracuse University will chase points.

10 points in 8 seconds...

This McGrady is useless.

Gotta call Miller over here.

It depends on whether Connecticut gives it a chance.

"It's over!" Barkley grinned as he watched the time drop below 30 seconds.

He didn't believe it anymore, this situation can be reversed.

This time... I really can't turn it over.

Although Anthony did not give up and paid for the foul, Zhu Wan made two free throws and the point difference came to 10 points. In this way, even if Syracuse University made the next attack, it would still take two or three rounds to recover the point difference.

"No more, no more miracles!" Drexler also sentenced Syracuse University to death after Juwan made two free throws.

However, Bill Walton obviously had a higher evaluation of Juwan's two defensive performances before the free throw: "His two judgments are too critical!"

This is obviously a mage, but he used his shield to consume his opponent to death.

Just these two rounds made Bill Wharton more interested in Juwan.

He likes players who are full of infinite possibilities at critical moments and will bring all kinds of surprises.

Larry Bird also nodded slightly, and was also very satisfied with Juwan's performance in the last two rounds. In his opinion, this kind of successful steals and blocks with predictive nature is the defense that can only be completed by a guy who uses his brain to the extreme at critical moments. It has a strong "big bird" atmosphere.

It's a typical Larry Bird defense.

This guy's style really looks more and more like mine...

I muttered something silently in my heart.

Of course he couldn't say that!
"Big Bird"'s self-esteem did not allow him to do so.

After watching Zhu Wan's defense in the last two rounds, the scouts on the scene also added a few words with similar meanings to their evaluation of Zhu Wan's defense: This is a player who cannot use his physical fitness to predict his defensive level. Follow his way of thinking, and maybe he can produce some unexpected defensive effects at critical moments!

Anthony is already the ceiling of the NCAA's individual ability, but he was successfully restrained by Zhu Wan for two consecutive rounds. With one steal and one block, the "Pride of Heaven" completely lost hope of winning.

Then the beep sounded to signify the end of the game.

Colored paper and ribbons also floated down the scene.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the final result of the 02-03 season NCAA finals was officially announced!
After the 1998~1999 season, after 4 years, Connecticut won the championship again under the leadership of Juwan!

Anthony, who was still holding the ball and desperately rushing towards the basket, smashed the ball hard at the moment the whistle sounded. With 30 seconds left, he didn't dare to look up at the time.

The difference of 10 points is fixed here.

Syracuse University's "dark horse" journey finally fell to the last hurdle.

Carmelo Anthony, who wanted to prove himself, finally lost to this guy named Juwan again!
Being defeated three times in one season and being swept out of the game, this is a setback that "the proud son of heaven" has never experienced...

He turned his head and took a deep look at Zhu Wan, and finally went up to bump Zhu Wan's fist.

After leaving a sentence of "See you in the NBA", he walked quickly towards the player tunnel.

And the moment he entered the player tunnel, he couldn't hold back anymore, his eyes turned red quickly, and he cried out.

Behind him, Jim Boyheim, who was watching Anthony walking away quickly, was afraid that he would not be able to catch up. Seeing this scene, he slowed down instead.

Cry, cry!
Just cry!

Most people's youth is destined to be painful...

"Let's congratulate Zhu Wan, congratulations to the Connecticut boys, this year's NCAA glory belongs to them!" Bill Wharton shouted.

Connecticut's on-court and off-court players also rushed towards Juwan in the first place.

All the media also turned their cameras at this time, focusing on Zhu Wan who was surrounded by crowds.

Hearing the cheers, shouts and the "click click" of the camera constantly ringing in his ears, Zhu Wan remembered the classic line: At this moment, the world focuses on you!

"Old Xu, let's go up too!"

Zhang Weiping wanted to go up and join in the fun.

Xu Jicheng touched his small body, watched the scene of pushing and jostling, and finally chose to refuse.

"Come on, don't worry, I'm here!"

Zhang Weiping knew what he was worried about, pulled him, and then used his butt to quickly open the way in the crowded crowd.

What an ass!
In less than ten seconds, a passage was squeezed out for him.

"Boy, you played well!"

Zhu Wan also saw the legendary "Zhang Lili". After shaking hands with him, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: I don't know if he will say that it is reasonable to give the ball to Zhu Wan when he explains my game in the future...
