Chapter 20 Semifinals: Stanford vs. Arizona
Chapter 20 Semifinals: Stanford vs. Arizona
Whoosh!
With two outsiders chasing each other, Stanford's offense was done.
2-2
However, Arenas also laughed when he saw that Wang Xiaohui was just a tool on the court and the ball was hit by Jacobson.
Arenas withdrew his words of "I'm eyeing you" at the beginning. This small role is not worth it.
"Dude, you are just a small supporting role, don't waste your energy by running around."
Wang Xiaohui didn't care about such little sarcasm.
"No, I'm different from you. I'm the main force of the team. Today, I'm definitely the one who decides the outcome of this game."
Arenas did not expect that this guy, like himself, had an arrogant personality.
Although there is sympathy for each other, but this is a game, a battlefield, and Arenas will not show mercy.
"Forget it! The one who decides the outcome must be me! You know, I am Arizona's secret weapon!"
Unable to hold back, Arenas revealed the secret in his heart.
"Pfft~"
Wang Xiaohui didn't know if he should say that the other party was confident or conceited with such a second-year answer.Or is it true that the child did not grow up?
"You can't touch the ball once, and your secret weapon is good enough."
"There is no need for me to deal with you Stanford group of small characters. I have a secret weapon against Duke's group of brats."
Anyway, it was a slip of the tongue, and Arenas didn't care anymore.
In the eyes of Arenas, Arizona must be the winner of today's game.What's the matter if the other party knows?
The more Arenas said that, the more Wang Xiaohui wanted to stimulate him.
"Tch, don't think I don't know, you have such powerful players as Richard Jefferson, Luke Walton, Woods and Ruben, you are just a small part of the team."
"Just them? Huh~"
Another cold snort.
With such a conceit, how could Arenas be inferior to others?
"Just wait and see, sooner or later I'll let the world know that I'm Gilbert Arenas the best!"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaohui suddenly stopped laughing.
Conceit is the camouflage color of Arenas, but it is this constant expression that makes Arenas keep moving forward.
Thinking so, Wang Xiaohui suddenly ran towards the skill pack.
Arenas was staring at Chad Jefferson's attack from a distance, and he got a shoulder in his chest.
"Hiss~ what are you doing?"
Arenas rubbed his chest and glared at the other party, but in the end he heard——
"Gilbert, you are finally qualified to be my opponent."
"Bastard, who is going to be your opponent? You are not enough for me!"
Arenas was in a hurry, but he just didn't take any action, and he had no idea of getting it back.
Are you vegetarian today?Is he really obedient to the coach's arrangement?
Wang Xiaohui was a little anxious.
Several impacts and several confrontations did not drop skill packs.
Is it only produced when there is a ball?Or is Arenas not the target today?
Arenas didn't play tricks, and he didn't have the idea of taking the initiative to attack at all.
Then Wang Xiaohui could only change his goal.
Who should I replace?
Wang Xiaohui looked at Richard Jefferson who was in good condition.
……
On the court, the match continued, and as expected by the experts before the match, the two sides played back and forth at the beginning.
Stanford has the internal and external combination of Collins and Jacobson. Jacobson created a lot of opportunities, and Collins gained a lot in the interior.
Arizona has Jefferson and Woods in contact with each other, and Jefferson has made frequent shots from inside and outside.Jacobson was fed up with this one.
The difference between the two sides is very tight.
Played for 5 minutes, still 12-12.
Arenas and Wang Xiaohui are the two most able to run and the most active on the court.
However, the number of attacks they participated in is very few.
On the offensive end, neither of them could make more contributions, they could only be more active on the defensive end.
"Switch! Wang, you go and watch Richard."
Head coach Montgomery arranged for Wang Xiaohui to stare at Jefferson, which just happened to fulfill Wang Xiaohui's wish.
Seeing Wang Xiaohui greet Jefferson with a smile, Arenas, who just said "you and me", felt very uncomfortable.
'I shouldn't have a good defender, should I? '
However, soon, Arenas was happy.
On the other side, watching the young player Wang Xiaohui switch over, the corner of Jefferson's mouth rose.
The coach mentioned it before the game, saying that this person's defense is not bad.Asking him to take the initiative to find cover is to catch Jacobson to death.
However, the general will be outside, and the king's life will not be accepted.
Jefferson has decided to enter the NBA this summer. Since this is the opponent's excellent defender, this is also his opportunity to show his strength.
At this time, the commentator at the scene said:
"Richard Jefferson is a breakthrough wing player with strong explosive power. This wing position is his best position. Facing the defense of Stanford teenager Wang, he should be able to break through easily..."
However, before the commentator finished speaking, an accident occurred on the field.
boom!
Richard Jefferson broke through as the commentator said.
However, that was only his body, but his ball was broken.
"Steal the ball, Stanford steal the ball, counterattack, Stanford's counterattack. Frontcourt, three-on-one, McDonald gave to Wang, Wang then distributed to Jacobson, and Jacobson made a strong dunk. Wow , Such a smooth fast break, they didn't even dribble the ball, and they completed this attack."
As if he didn't believe in evil, Jefferson went to the frontcourt again, asked for the ball again, and faced Wang Xiaohui again.
"This time, you have no chance."
Those who talked a lot were supporting roles, so Wang Xiaohui didn't say a word to the other party.
The opponent is strong and talented, and indeed has the capital of self-confidence. Wang Xiaohui must be cautious, and more cautious.
coming!
The start of Jefferson's first step was not very fast, but he still tricked Wang Xiaohui.
After a little hesitation, Jefferson wiped it away.
Half a step!
Jefferson was half a step ahead.
However, half a step is enough.
Against Wang Xiaohui who was chasing after him, Jefferson rushed into the inside line strongly.
One, two, up!
In the air, Jefferson shot with ease.
boom!
When Jefferson was about to make a shot, the body was hit.
Originally, the shot was too straight, but suddenly changed direction in the air.
bang!
The basketball hit the backboard directly.
beep!
The referee had a discerning eye and gave Wang Xiaohui a foul.
Looking at Jefferson who got up from the ground, Wang Xiaohui shook his head in disappointment.
'No, this guy doesn't even drop skill packs.What a waste of my foul. '
Jefferson felt angry in his heart, was he being laughed at?It's obvious that the other party fouled me, how could he still have the nerve to laugh at me?
"You can only rely on fouls."
"Touch it and you're down, and you're left with the referee."
Sure enough, he was a young man. Just as Wang Xiaohui mentioned it, Jefferson exploded instantly.
Without the baptism of the Internet age, it is impossible to develop a super strong psychological quality.
Wang Xiaohui is one of the best, but Jefferson is far behind.
Then, Wang Xiaohui saw someone take his anger out on the basketball.
Bang!
Jefferson's free throw was too hard and hit the iron directly.
This is a 1+1 free throw system. If the first goal is not scored, there is no second chance.
"Backboard!"
The Collins brothers carried Loren Woods one by one and jumped up to grab the rebound.
"Michael!"
The first time, the ball was passed long and found the point guard Michael McDonald.
"Counterattack!"
Stanford hit back again.
Wang Xiaohui, MacDonald and Jacobson rushed to the opponent's backcourt at full speed.
Strange to say, Jacobsen was running faster than Wang Xiaohui at this moment.However, why is it always half a beat when defending?
Up front, three-on-three.
Although Arizona had already been waiting in the backcourt, the three of Stanford were not afraid, they just wanted to rush.
Like war horses on an ancient battlefield, the three formed a cone and pierced each other deep into the heart.
Wang Xiaohui pulled to the left, and there was already a vacancy for him.However, Jacobson, who was holding the ball, did not pass it!
Casey Jacobson chose to go it alone.
With a beautiful turn, he passed two people, forced himself up, avoided the block, and reversed the blue with a pull bar.
Cross the bridge!
The ball went straight over the viaduct!
However, it doesn't matter, at the landing point, Wang Xiaohui, who followed up, jumped high and hit the ball with one hand.
The ball bounced and jumped into the hoop.
"yeah!!!"
"Good make up!"
"Wang, beautiful!"
The Stanford people shouted excitedly.
As soon as the counterattack ball was scored, Stanford started.
Afterwards, they took advantage of the momentum and played a wave of 12-4.
The score came to 28-18.
The point difference was stretched to 10 points.
beep!
Arizona head coach Lute Olsen quickly called a timeout.
On the sidelines, the Arizona players were a little frustrated and disappointed, but Arenas's eyes were full of excitement, and he looked at the coach with piercing eyes.
'Richard and those guys can't do it, coach, can I do it? '
However, the coach did not assign him a task, but aimed at Arenas' defeated Ruben Douglas.
"Reuben, remember, follow what I said next, and resolutely beat Cassie."
……
Arizona's timeout worked really well.
After returning, Ruben Douglas took control of the offense.
Reuben was looking for no one but Jacobson.
Pick and roll again.
The dilemma that Stanford faced in the last game reappeared in this game.
Jacobson is like a genetic lack of defense, and he is once again a colander.
In 3 minutes, Ruben Douglas scored 8 points and 3 assists in a row, leading Arizona to reverse the score strongly.
30-32
Arizona leads by 2 points!
Stanford's defensive adjustments are also there, but the defense of the zone defense still has loopholes in Jacobson's part.
Ruben Douglas frequently broke into the key points of Stanford, and big center Loren Woods frequently ate cakes.
The 216-height big center Loren Woods not only scored consecutively, but also beat Stanford's main center Jason Collins.
Jason Collins, who had three fouls, could only temporarily sit on the sidelines in the remaining five minutes of the first half.
The situation has taken a turn for the worse.
Without Jason Collins' inside restraint, his younger brother Jaylon Collins is in a difficult position and cannot support himself.
At the critical moment, the main player Jacobsen failed again.The defense is not good, and the offense cannot score.
Although the rest of Stanford played hard and tried their best to make up for his defensive deficiencies, they always missed the other and were always stolen by the opponent.
Offensively, Stanford struggled even more.Without Jason Collins, Jacobson was invisible again. The third leading scorer Jaron Collins was blocked twice by Loren Woods in a single attack.
No matter what, Stanford couldn't easily hit the ball in.
Seeing that the point difference was about to reach 10 points, off the field, head coach Montgomery raised four fingers and shouted,
"Four!!!"
Tactic No. 4!Also the No. 4 scorer!
This is an offensive tactic!
Since the defense is not easy to defend, then attack.
Just like that, Stanford's offensive tactics began to change on the court.
……
"Sigh~"
Arenas took another elbow from Wang Xiaohui,
"Damn it, don't run away!"
Arenas always thought that Wang Xiaohui was just a little guy, just a tool man running around on the court to attract attention.
In the end, this time, he was wrong.
boom!
Arenas was about to continue chasing, but was blocked by a wall.
"not good!"
Sure enough, on the other side, bad things happened.
Whoosh!
Just as Arenas bypassed the wall, there was a clear sound of entering the net.
The ball was passed, it was passed to that guy!
Moreover, that guy's three-point shot is so accurate?Foolish?
"Gilbert, I scored again. How about you?"
Hearing this, Arenas clenched his hands, really itchy.
Still, he held back.
The coach's arrangement is to let Richard Jefferson and the others open up the situation.Things are looking pretty good in Arizona right now.Arenas felt that he should not disrupt the rhythm of the team.
He still has self-knowledge. Once he attacks, even his teammates will be very nervous.
"yeah!"
"Wang, great shot!"
"A few more, and we will win this game."
Seeing that guy and his teammates running back celebrating, Arenas suddenly felt envious and jealous.
'Next time, I will definitely not miss the chance to give it to you!absolute! '
Arenas thought so, but he couldn't do it.
After all, one person is no match for several people.
The next time Wang Xiaohui came again, Arenas still couldn't catch up.
After a few screens, Arenas was blocked.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Still in!
Enter again!
Three points in a row!
"yeah!"
"I knew that Wang is our secret weapon, and he is the most powerful existence at Stanford."
"I knew when Wang was training that I was a very powerful gun!"
The Stanford fans at the scene jumped up excitedly.
"Wow! Beautiful! The 19-year-old from China shot completely wide today. He became the spoiler of this game! Isn't Arizona going to target it? You know, if a shooter shoots crazy, then no one I can't stop it,"
The commentator at the scene gave Wang Xiaohui full praise.
On the court, Wang Xiaohui himself looked at his hands in disbelief.
This feeling of scoring goals is excellent.
Not far away, Arenas bit his lip, and the way he looked at someone changed.
beep!
Arizona took another timeout.
Although there is still a 4-point advantage in the point difference, they must be suspended.
If that kid continues to score three points, then this game will not be fun.
Pause, it's the fiery feel that cools that kid down.
Arizona head coach Lute Olsen could see that the opponent was playing with an all-out offensive lineup, and the core was on that kid.
On the sidelines, Olsen specifically pointed out:
"Switch! Pay attention to switch! When you meet that kid running, you unconditionally switch for me. Don't let that guy make another shot."
The assistant coach on the side reminded: "Coach, shall we give up the original zone defense?"
"Of course!"
What the zone defense is most afraid of is the three-pointer.Obviously, the opponent has a scary shooter, and their zone defense had to be suspended.
Arizona's defense has made a man-to-man arrangement, but the old coach wants to emphasize offense.
If the opponent wants to attack, then we will accompany them to attack!
"There is nothing to say about defense, everyone is marking people with all their strength, don't have the idea of reserving physical strength, and marking people hard.
What I want here is to attack!Inside, I want you to keep pounding their inside.Their main big man has gone down, and there are only a few insignificant existences they can play inside.Loren, Richard, Ruben, Luke, if you get a chance, hit the paint hard and don't give their big guys any chance to breathe. "
The closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score.Those who get inside, get the world!
This is how old-school coaches play and think.
"Understood, Coach!"
Everyone in Jefferson nodded in response, but Arenas asked a question suddenly.
"Coach, what about me?"
As a result, as soon as he asked, the old coach's old hand pressed on Arenas' shoulder.
"Gilbert, take a break for a while."
This time, Arenas was in a very bad mood.
He endured most of the quarter and only took 3 shots.When the team needed him so much, the coach didn't even give him a chance!
'Replace me?It's not my fault that the defense misses.Why replace me? '
'At the offensive end, I can do it too. '
'You can't do it without me! '
At this moment, Arenas even started to cheer for the kid on the other side.
Although the questioning look from that kid made people very uncomfortable, but he really wanted to see that guy beat up his teammates in Arizona.
However, as he thought, on the court, Arizona's new lineup was deflated.
"Can't catch up! Wow, can't catch up! Wang's running position is too smart, three-pointer, another three-pointer, this is already his fourth three-pointer in this game."
"Oh, Wang ran so nimbly that the two guards in Arizona collided. Wang retreated to the side and hit another three-pointer easily. Oh, his state is still crazy today. And we saw , the two guards in Arizona are now rubbing their hands in some places, it seems that they have hit an important position, and I don't know if they will be happy in the rest of their lives?"
"Corner three! Arizona missed the most important man, Wang! Richard jumped over, can he get it? Oh, no, fake, Wang didn't choose to shoot. Oh, no! Not good! "
Because of Wang Xiaohui's excellent touch, Arizona's defense all focused on him.
Richard Jefferson doesn't want this guy scoring in front of him again.He rushed forward quickly, bouncing off the ground.
However, Wang Xiaohui didn't make a move, it was a fake move.
Knowing that he had been deceived, Jefferson wanted to hide, but he jumped so hard that he couldn't help himself when he reached the air.
Richard Jefferson slammed straight into Wang's shoulder just like that.
If you are not careful, you will lose your balance.
boom!
Jefferson fell hard to the ground.
With a sound of "Ah", Jefferson covered his shoulders and rolled several times on the ground before rolling to the feet of his teammates on the sidelines.
His entire face was wrinkled together, looking extremely painful.
Beep beep beep!
The game is suspended.
"Team doctor!"
Soon, the stretcher was on the stage.
The situation speaks for itself.
Richard Jefferson is injured,
The team doctor's initial diagnosis was a dislocated shoulder.
Although this was just an accident, the way many people looked at Wang Xiaohui's innocent face became different.
Especially those who watched Stanford's last three games.
Every time you collide with Wang Xiaohui, someone will definitely feel bad.
As for Wang Xiaohui himself, no matter how he was hit, he was completely fine.No matter how many times he was knocked to the ground, he could stand up easily.
"Didn't he kill Jamal Nelson in the previous game against St. Joseph's?"
"If you want to avoid injury on the court, stay away from this kid!"
"Is this the mysterious power from the East?"
No one regarded Wang Xiaohui as a super-strong existence, but they immediately attributed it to some myths and legends.
Wang Xiaohui didn't know that he had such a force, he only knew that the destined person he was looking for today was not Jefferson.
Even after being bumped by the opponent, there is no skill pack dropped yet.Then, the predestined person must be someone else.
'Is it Wharton who replaced Jefferson? '
Walton on the field suddenly had a cold back, always feeling that something bad happened.
The opportunity presented itself quickly in the next turn.
It was Wang Xiaohui who ran out of space again, and Luke Wharton caught up with the defense.
With the lessons learned by Jefferson, Wharton is still very cautious this time,
"If you don't dance, you don't dance,"
He was thinking silently in his heart.
"Watch the ball!"
And just when Wang Xiaohui raised his hand to shoot, Wharton couldn't hold back after all.
Jumped up a little.
However, such a jump was taken advantage of by Wang Xiaohui.
Facing Wharton's defense, Wang Xiaohui also jumped out.
In this way, it hit directly.
A typical deception and foul play of later generations.
Sure enough, the referee blew his whistle.
beep! ! !
Luke Walton's defensive foul, and, it's a three-point foul! ! !
"Oh no!"
Wharton had a painful headshot, very helpless.
Wharton was so angry when he saw that kid got cheap and shook his head and said "it's not him".
Next, say what you say to make the other person look good.
Wang Xiaohui really shook his head.
Wharton doesn't seem to be a predestined person either.After all, his talent is still far from that of his father.
So, who is the predestined person?
Wang Xiaohui couldn't help looking at Arenas who was smiling off the court.
'Has it always been Arenas? '
However, I've tried it before, and it doesn't seem to work.
Is it necessary to have the ball to attack?
"wuwuwu~~~"
Wang Xiaohui walked to the free throw line, and the opposing fans tried their best to interfere.
"Hiss~hoo~~~"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xiaohui quickly concentrated his attention.
Compared with skill packs, the most important thing is to win the game.
Steady shot.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Free throws are Wang Xiaohui's most reliable means of scoring.
Steadily made three free throws and scored another three-pointer.
Then, with Arizona's Ruben Douglas missing the final drive, the first half was over.
beep beep beep~
The final score of the first half of the two sides was fixed at:
53-49
Stanford led by 4 points.
……
As soon as Wang Xiaohui got off the field, he was hooked by the shoulders of the head coach Montgomery.
"Boy, you did a good job."
In the first half, Stanford led by 4 points, and these 4 points were completely brought about by Wang Xiaohui's wave of three-pointers.
Wang Xiaohui made 9 of 6 three-pointers at halftime and scored a game-high 22 points!
This is more than his own scoring record in a single game.
However, Wang Xiaohui felt that this was not enough.
His hands are still hot, and he can still cast.
Today, the scoring record must be blown!
"Coach, I think I can shoot again."
"Okay, okay, in the second half, enough possession of the ball!"
The head coach waved his hand happily and directly gave Unlimited the right to fire.
"Coach, just watch, I will definitely take you to touch the floor of the finals."
"Hahaha, I don't agree with just the floor."
"Then I'll try harder."
"Hahaha!"
The old and the young walked into the backstage dressing room with such happy smiles.
Behind them, everyone at Stanford was also in a particularly good mood.
Except for Jacobson, who has become a big loophole again today.
This guy's complexion is not very good at the moment, and he is a little depressed.
It was a bad mood out of favor.
On the other side, the situation in Arizona is worse.
"What? Richard is sure he can't fight?"
"Yes, Mr. Coach. It's really a pity, but I have to tell you this news."
"I see."
Lute Olsen swung the doctor away.
Worry, Olson frowned into a word of Chuan.
Without Jefferson's sharp knife, it's not just the loss of an important weapon, but a dismantling of the style of play.
Although Wharton can replace Jefferson, who will replace Wharton?
not at all!
When encountering a weaker opponent, maybe it can be replaced like that, but this opponent is Stanford, the favorite team to win the championship.
In the first half, they exceeded the score by relying on the absence of Jason Collins.In the second half, the opponent came back sooner or later, and Stanford was the strong Stanford team again.
Their internal containment force is strong enough.With the addition of a Chinese kid who suddenly feels hot from the outside, then this Stanford team will be even more difficult to deal with.
It's not terrible to fight openly in the competition, the terrible thing is that there are accidents.
Jefferson can't fight on his own side, but the opponent has an extra X factor, so how should we deal with it?
At this moment,
knock knock knock
There was a knock on the lounge door.
"Coach, are you looking for me?"
"Gilbert, you should know why I'm looking for you, right?"
"It must be that you need my secret weapon."
"That's right!"
"Gilbert, in the second half, you will be the absolute core of the team. Just like in the training game, you can play according to your own ideas. The whole team will cooperate with you."
"Coach, isn't this bad? It's too disunity."
"No, this is not disunity, this is our tactic. I need you to use your fast break to completely disrupt the opponent's rhythm..."
The more Lute Olsen said, the brighter Arenas' eyes became.
"I understand! Coach, just wait and see!"
Seeing Arenas running away excitedly, who knew Orr, this guy must have gone to show off.
The rare leadership position is indeed exciting for him.
As for the words that Arenas is the secret weapon, this is exactly what the coach coaxed the children.
In Lute Olsen's view, Arenas is a nerve knife that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't work.
The upper limit is high, but the lower limit is also worrying.
Arenas has a strong competitive spirit, he is conceited, and he has personality, but he is too personal.
He has abilities, but his offensive choices are not very good, and he often appears hot-headed.
If one is not good, this kid may fall into the ice hole.
However, in today's situation, Olsen has no more room for consideration.
Today, Arenas, must do!If you can't do it, you have to do it!
……
Come back from the rest, the second half of the game is about to start.
On the court, Wang Xiaohui and Arenas faced off again.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Seeing the return of Arenas, Wang Xiaohui sent a friendly elbow.
"Hmph, just wait and see."
Arenas pouted his butt not to be outdone.
Stanford's offense came through quickly.
After halftime, Wang Xiaohui still has to be beaten.
Wang Xiaohui has already started to move.
At this time, the perimeter began to guide the ball.
Seeing the left corner, Wang Xiaohui, who threw off the defender, was about to run into place.
As a result, Jacobson, who took the ball from the wing, made a fake pass, but chose to do it alone.
Rush!
This choice is not a big deal, and it's still a smart decision.
However, it would be unwise for Jacobson to attack the opponent's 216 big man Loren Woods.
boom!
Jacobson got a big hat.
"Gilbert!"
The ball is in the hands of Arenas.
Arenas took the ball a big step forward, speeded up instantly, and rushed towards Stanford's backcourt like a meteor.
"Back to defense, back to defense! Stop him!"
Jason Collins yelled loudly, but the only defender who could chase back was Michael McDonald.
1v1
Arenas didn't give his opponent any chance, not even a chance to foul.
With a gesture of bowing to Buddha, Arenas wiped away from McDonald's side.
Go to the empty basket and jump up.
boom!
Arenas doesn't often dunk, but this one had to be a dunk.
"yeah!!!"
Looking at the excitement of the Arizona fans on the sidelines, Arenas knew that his choice was completely correct.
Arizona needed this goal so badly.
However, are you satisfied with this ball?
No, not enough!
Arenas pretended to be cool and walked back step by step, like a cold-blooded killer.
This is Agent Zero.
On Stanford's side, Jacobson patted his chest. "My, my, my fault."
On the court, Wang Xiaohui actually hated such an understatement of apology.Such an apology is insincere.
It's like slapping someone and saying 'I'm sorry', which makes people uncomfortable.
Fortunately, however, Jacobson did know he was wrong.
In the next round, Jacobsen found Wang Xiaohui with a precise pass.
Wang Xiaohui made another shot from the three-point line.
Whoosh!
Still in!
The seventh three-pointer!
56-51
There was another sensation in the audience.
But Wang Xiaohui looked at Agent Zero with cold eyes, and stared at him fiercely.
"Mr. Skill Pack, are you ready to accept my destruction?"
"Humph!"
Arenas didn't understand the foreign language spoken by the other party, but he subconsciously let out a cold snort.
Kindness to an opponent is cruelty to oneself.
"I'm going to beat you to pieces!"
As he spoke, Arenas elbowed Wang Xiaohui again, and slipped away again.
Arizona, fast serve, counter hit...
.
The game suddenly entered a fierce confrontation stage.
The two sides fought bravely, just like a bayonet fight on a modern battlefield.
The scene was full of vigor, and the cheers of the fans were louder and louder.
Before the game, no one thought that this game would become a confrontation between two role players.
Relying on Wang Xiaohui's hard-to-defend shots, Stanford continued to cause trouble for opponents.Also relying on Wang Xiaohui's shooting threat, others were able to liberate more space.
Wang Xiaohui's teammates Jason Collins, Jacobson, and Jaron Collins were all revived.
Stanford was originally a team with a strong inside line. From the outside to the inside, and then from the inside to the outside, Stanford fought a beautiful battle.
A perfectly accurate gun is likely to influence the outcome of a match.However, not today, because a killing god appeared on the opposite side.
Arizona relied on Arenas to bring up the fast break rhythm in one fell swoop.
Although without Richard Jefferson, Arizona's offense has become stronger.
With his own strength, he scored consecutively and completely supported the entire team.He broke into Stanford's position as if he had entered no one's land. His shot choices were all hanging and hanging, which made people nervous, but if he could hit the ball in, there was nothing you could do.
Just like Iverson of the 76ers, Arenas is really top today.
.
There was a pause, and both sides finally breathed a sigh of relief.
the last 3 minutes,
The battle between the two sides became 89-89, a tie!
In the last 3 minutes, the physical fitness of both sides has declined significantly, and the shooting rate has begun to decline.
This suspension is a necessary adjustment.
.
"Heh~huh~~heh~huh~~~"
On the sidelines, the players were constantly panting.
Everyone is very tired, but their eyes are full of fighting spirit.
Seeing his disciples like this, coach Lute Olsen nodded in satisfaction.
"Very well, lads, well done. Especially Gilbert!"
After being named in this way, Arenas' expression was flat, but his heart was ecstatic.
'Old man, count your knowledge. '
After the words of encouragement, Coach Olson took the drawing board and began to give pointers.
"Everyone has done a good job defending Wang. Everyone has seen that his shooting percentage is decreasing, and his three-pointers are no longer a threat. Therefore, people still have to chase, but be careful. Our opponents are smart People, they have a lot of ghost ideas. Especially Wang, an Asian, he does not have excellent ball-handling skills. I was deceived by the opponent's fake action..."
"Everyone is very tired now, so it depends on who is more persistent. We saw that the Asian boy on the opposite side started to ask the cheerleading girl to massage and soothe the sore muscles. They must be exhausted. Next, I want you Keep running! We're going to end this game with a fast break."
"Arizona, must win!"
What Lute Olsen wanted was to win the opponent in one go, but on the opposite side, Stanford's head coach Montgomery did the same thing.
"Boys, you are all great. The gangsters on the other side were beaten so hard by you that they couldn't speak. You see, they are panting now, and they don't even have the strength to stand up. But we are different, We are full of energy, and we still have inexhaustible strength..."
"Come on, lads, and kill 'em!"
"Kill them!!!"
With the cheering shouts from both sides, 10 young men went into battle again.
……
beep!
The final battle has come.
This is the time to fight for willpower, and the two sides are still unrelenting.
They all want to crush the other party to death in one fell swoop, but no one can easily pull away.
On this side, Jason Collins blocked Arenas' layup strongly inside, and on the other side, Luke Wharton stole Jacobson's pass.
On this side, Wang Xiaohui's shooting percentage dropped, and he began to rely on fake moves to cheat free throws.Arenas suffered a dull loss and gave Wang Xiaohui two points; on the other side, Arenas responded immediately, serving the ball from the backcourt, galloping straight to Huanglong, and scored a quick high-ball hit.
...
The two sides came and went, and the fight was a bit chaotic, but the scene was fiery and exciting.
Everyone wanted to kill each other in one go, but no one was able to do so.
the last 1 minutes,
93-93, the two sides are still evenly divided.
At this time, Arizona organized the offense on the field.
"Quick, quick, press them all over!"
Although coach Lute Olsen is still urging everyone to speed up the fast break, Arizona's fast break opportunities have not come out.
The people at Stanford weren't fast, but Arizona couldn't run either.
Had to fall into the half-court battle.
positional warfare?
The second scorer, big center Loren Woods wanted the ball inside.
"Gilbert, give me the ball!"
It was a clutch shot, and Woods wanted to be a star.
However, Arenas, who was holding the ball outside, didn't see it at all.He also raised his hand to direct.
"Pull it away, pull it all away, I want to eat him alone."
The insider Loren Woods pursed his lips and looked at the coaching staff first. Seeing that someone had acquiesced over there, he could only silently admit it.
Glancing at Arenas resentfully, Woods walked away reluctantly.
The vacancy opened up, this is the best stage for Arenas.
"Boy, hit it in. You've hit half court, don't let this one ruin all your hard work."
Arizona coach Lute Olsen folded his arms and only had Arenas in his eyes.
Success or failure, he bet on Arenas alone.
At this time, Arenas on the court was extremely excited.
He knows that now, people all over the world are watching him play.
This is his chance to show the world his super strength.
Looking at the Chinese boy who was guarding him closely, Arenas' eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Wang, be careful."
Without waiting for the other party's response, Arenas took a step back and suddenly started.
When it comes to team battles, Arenas admits that he lacks technical and tactical abilities, but when it comes to fighting alone, he has never convinced anyone.
And he did.
After two crotch dribbles, Arenas leaned to the left, and Wang Xiaohui's body moved involuntarily.
It was such a small gap that Arenas seized the opportunity.
Quickly changed direction with one crotch, took the right path and forcibly killed him.
It's that simple to live alone, as long as I think about it!
This is not the first time Arenas has passed Wang Xiaohui.Although the opponent is difficult, he is not afraid of anyone.
Arenas went inside Stanford again and again.
Everyone in Arizona stood up, and they were ready to cheer and celebrate Arenas.
Unexpectedly, when Arenas was receiving the ball and was about to hit Jason Collins, a hand stretched out from behind.
boom!
Arenas jumped up and crashed into Collins' arms, but the ball in his hand disappeared.
Steal the ball!
Arenas' ball was stabbed away by Wang Xiaohui.
"Wang!"
Jaron Collins, who got the ball, gave the ball to Wang Xiaohui immediately.
Wang Xiaohui went forward for a while, and immediately sent the ball to the point guard McDonald. Without the ball, Wang Xiaohui suddenly accelerated and killed the opponent's backcourt.
It's unbelievable that anyone else can keep up with him.
Who?
Jacobson!
The last minute is less than 1 minute. This is the most important time of the game and the most difficult time. It is the time to fight for willpower and physical strength.
At this time, who has the most willpower and physical strength?
Of course it was Wang Xiaohui who was cheating.
But, at the moment, Jacobson is equally fit.
At this moment, Wang Xiaohui couldn't say anything, at most he laughed.
The Arizona players were about to cry.
"Return to defense! Stop them!"
They shouted very loudly, but they couldn't catch up.
Seeing the other two rushing away, they couldn't move forward.
In the frontcourt, Wang Xiaohui selflessly sent an assist to help Jacobson slam dunk.
"yeah!!!"
This goal was a booster, and all Stanford people raised their arms and shouted.
95-93
Stanford already has a head start on winning.
And the Arizonans didn't know what to say.
'Why, why is this happening?It shouldn't be. '
'Didn't the coach say that the opponent was at the end of his rope?How can they still run so well? '
'I get it, they've been conserving their energy from the start, they're doing it for this last-minute burst. '
Many people have made up Stanford's despicable tactics.Feeling that they were cheated, they cursed angrily.
However, thinking about it, I feel that something is wrong.
Isn't that Chinese kid running all over the court?How is he still so active?It shouldn't be.
Arizonans can't figure it out.
It is precisely because of the idea in the mind that the actions of the Arizona players on the court began to change.
"careful!"
It was Arizona's offensive opportunity, but the inadvertent pass was cut off.
boom!
Wang Xiaohui!
Wang Xiaohui suddenly came out from the halfway and cut off the ball passed to Arenas.
"Casey!"
Wang Xiaohui gave the ball to Casey Jacobson who was nearby, and rushed forward by himself.
It's just that he hasn't rushed far, and the steal happens again.
"Wow!"
"Come on, Gilbert!"
Angry Arenas steals Jacobson and immediately kills Stanford's position.
Without Wang Xiaohui's frontal containment, Arenas easily rushed to the penalty area.
In the chaotic army, a fake move opened up an open space, and Arenas immediately stopped and shot a jumper.
The speed was so fast that Jason Collins and the others couldn't catch up.
Whoosh!
The ball is in!
95-95, another draw.
At this time, the referee also blew his whistle, and Jason Collins thugs fouled.
This is a 2+1!
"And one!"
Arenas roared excitedly at the Stanford fan area, he finally no longer had a cold face before, but a face full of excitement.
This is the excitement of winning.
Arizona fans yelled as Arenas stood at the free throw line.
"MVP, MVP, MVP!"
With Arenas' excellent performance in the second half, he has already scored 39 points, plus this free throw, that's 40 points!
This game, without Jefferson, everyone thought it would be over, but it didn't!
Arenas is the savior of Arizona!
bang, bang, bang~
Arenas dribbled the ball a few times to calm down his excitement.
This free throw is very important. As long as it is scored, Arizona will take the initiative again.
But Arenas didn't do it.
Bang!
"Ah~"
With a sigh, the basketball jumped out of the hoop.
The rebound was saved by Jason Collins.
"Counterattack!"
Now it was Stanford's turn to fight back.
"Wang!"
Someone in Arizona fell in this side of the court, and Collins thought it was a good opportunity for a fast break.
In the team, the others couldn't run, and Collins' first reaction was to give the ball to the energetic Wang Xiaohui.
However, Collins regretted it as soon as he passed the ball.
In the front court, Wang Xiaohui, who got the ball, suddenly realized that the situation was not good.
In front, the penalty area is closed, and the Arizona players are eyeing them. Behind them, Arenas and the others have already chased them back.
And his teammates were all still in their own half, not keeping up.
The team was out of touch, and Wang Xiaohui was in danger.
'Captain, you are hurting me. '
There is an interception in the front, there are chasing troops in the back, and the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, what should I do?
Wang Xiaohui was heartbroken, dribbled forward, and without waiting for anyone, he shot coldly from outside the opponent's three-point line.
"Wang, it's not calm to wait for your teammates to choose to take the shot yourself."
"Three-pointers, he actually chose three-pointers! We all know that he hit 9 three-pointers before, but now his shooting percentage has dropped. He still dares to do this. It's really too reckless."
"Wang is really still a young man, his choice, uh~"
Many people had opinions of one kind or another, but as the basketball got into the net, all doubts suddenly changed.
Whoosh!
Basketball hollow into the net.
98-95
With three points, Stanford led by 3 points again.
"yeah!"
The scene suddenly fell silent, only Wang Xiaohui was left beating his chest and roaring.
His fierce eyes appeared on the big screen, and there was a murderous look in his eyes, which was the murderous look of death that suffocated the opponent.
After a while,
"Woooooo!!!!"
Countless people at the scene jumped up from their seats.
"Wang, wang, wang!"
This is an arrow that seals the throat with blood, and this is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
However, the Arizona people have not given up on the field.
In the backcourt, Arenas came again.
A dragon, even acquaintances, Arenas once again killed the frontcourt.
When chasing points was so important, Arenas didn't care about it. He found a cover outside the three-point line and directly made a domineering three-pointer.
The basketball flew high to the hoop.
"Go in, let me in."
"Get out, get out!"
Fans on both sides have their own beliefs.
Arenas looked at the basketball and bit his lower lip hard.
'If that guy can get in, so can I. '
However, the basket told him: No, you can't.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop.
"Backboard!"
The basket was in chaos, and the brothers Jason Collins were restrained by Loren Woods.
Several long arms work in the air.
The basketball was clicked several times, and finally magically fell into the arms of Jacobson who was 'staying out'.
'? '
Jacobson himself was a little silly, how did this ball come about?
However, he didn't delay the matter and hurried out the ball.
"Wang!"
The first pass was passed to Wang Xiaohui.
I don't know if it was influenced by Jason Collins, but now Jacobson subconsciously wants to find Wang Xiaohui to handle the ball.
The Arizonans were shocked when they saw Wang Xiaohui take the ball.
Everyone knows that pervert Wang Xiaohui is full of energy now, if he rushes up, who can catch up?
"Return to defense, quickly return to defense!"
However, after Wang Xiaohui dribbled the ball steadily across the half, he passed the ball to McDonald.
On the sidelines, coach Montgomery shouted:
"Steady, steady, don't worry."
Yes, now that Stanford is leading by 3 points, it's the opponent who should be anxious.
Now there is not much time left, almost 32 seconds, as long as it is slowly consumed, the attack time is exhausted, and the opponent will only have 2 seconds at most.
That game was almost won.
However, Wang Xiaohui felt that it was not enough to be stable, and he had to create some troubles for the opponent.
After Wang Xiaohui handed over the ball, he bumped the clingy defender Ruben Douglas and slipped away again.
Seeing Wang Xiaohui fleeing far away, Douglas felt that his feet were full of lead, and he couldn't catch up, so he could only shout for help:
"Replenish defense! Watch him!"
Just one run by Wang Xiaohui directly exhausted Arizona's defenders.
Wang Xiaohui has the essence of the tactics of the enemy's exhaustion and our harassment.
Seeing the last 8 seconds left in the attack time, Wang Xiaohui started again, taking advantage of his physical strength to get another chance.
Fortunately, Arizona's supplementary defense was timely. Although Wang Xiaohui got the ball, the chances were not good.
Left bottom corner position.
Wang Xiaohui held the ball, and Arenas, who had switched defenses, was rushing almost two steps away.
"Roar!"
Wang Xiaohui used his favorite way of bluffing in the field to fake a shooting action that could not be faked.
Arenas didn't hesitate at all, and just blocked him.
"I won't let you succeed."
Seeing that Wang Xiaohui didn't make a shot and didn't make any follow-up actions, Arenas knew that the coach was right, he really didn't know how to attack with the ball.
However, just as the corner of Arenas' mouth was raised, Wang Xiaohui suddenly turned sideways and slammed into him.
This collision finally hit something.
"+10 hardness value!"
"Ding!"
"Trigger impact passive, reward [Emergency Stop Jump Shooting Skill Pack (Platinum)]"
On the court, Arenas took half a step back with hiss.
He didn't expect that Wang Xiaohui's confrontation was so strong.
After bumping Arenas, Wang Xiaohui raised his elbow.
go ahead!
Before the soldiers and horses arrive, the elbows go first.
With the elbow opening method taught by his master Dawkins, coupled with his strong upper and lower body strength, Wang Xiaohui just used a swipe of the ball protector so lightly, and Arenas was passed.
Of course Wang Xiaohui knew his weakness in offense with the ball, but he made good use of his strengths.
Coupled with his own good basic skills, breaking through the past is a perfectly normal thing.
Facing the 216-height insider giant Loren Woods who jumped out, Wang Xiaohui suddenly made a breakthrough that no one thought of.
I saw Wang Xiaohui quickly dodge right and left, and then, the big Loren Woods was caught off guard, so he stumbled under his feet and fell to the ground.
And Wang Xiaohui rushed into the inside line and jumped up suddenly.
He originally wanted to have a violent dunk, but because of the limited take-off height, he made an understatement dunk.
creak~
The basket slammed.
Although the strength is just that, but the effect of this dunk is very shocking!
Look!
"woooooo!!!!!!!!!"
A large red ocean suddenly rolled up the waves.
No one expected that Wang Xiaohui, who had never been good at breaking through, would be so good at breaking through.
The basketball hit the floor and bounced off Loren Woods' head.
On the other hand, Wang Xiaohui is aloof, ruling the world, looking down on all living beings!
"Wang, wang, wang!"
"MVP!"
Stanford fans at the scene shouted Wang Xiaohui's name loudly, and some even chanted the title "MVP" that Wang Xiaohui wanted to hear most.
On the field, Wang Xiaohui was surrounded by his teammates and kept applauding.
Arenas was on the sidelines. He looked at the high scoreboard and felt a little unwilling, while his teammates lowered their heads, feeling a little lost and frustrated.
On the sidelines, the Arizona coaching staff found the referee. Instead of calling for a foul, they kept turning their arms.
"It's a walk! It's definitely a walk!"
The referee himself didn't see too clearly.
It was the first time they had seen such an action.
How to do?
playback!
After discussions among all parties, the referee made the most sensible choice.
Surrounding the screen, the three referees slowed down and slowed down.
Wang Xiaohui's movement is very simple, just one right foot, one left foot, and then jump up.
walking, nonexistent.
In the previous breakthrough, Wang Xiaohui's elbow had a small movement and was suspected of a small foul.
"After repeated defenses in slow motion, the referee team unanimously agreed that the goal was valid and correct! The original verdict is upheld!"
When the referee said this, all the Stanford fans at the scene waved their celebration ribbons.
100-95
With a 5-point advantage, only the last 3.3 seconds remain.
Almost all of Stanford's body has broken into the gate of the finals.
The Arizonans naturally haven't given up.
However, 3.3 seconds is not enough time.
In the last attack, Arenas forced a three-point shot under the double-team of Wang Xiaohui and McDonald with the help of a cover.
Whoosh!
The ball was scored, but the Arizonans cried.
Because time is running out.
beep beep beep~~~
The game is over.
100-98
Stanford narrowly beat Arizona by 2 points and advanced to the NCAA Finals.
Data of both parties:
Stanford:
Wang Xiaohui scored a game-high 43 points, 17 of 10 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks.
Jacobson, 16 of 6, scored 15 points and 3 assists
Jason Collins, 10 points, 18 rebounds and 4 blocks,
Jaron Collins, 6 points and 6 rebounds
Michael McDonald, 6 points and 8 assists,
Arizona:
Arenas, 33 points, 25 of 13, 6 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 4 free throws, 3 assists
Loren Woods, 14 points, 14 rebounds Richard Jefferson, 12 points, Luke Walton, 10 points
.
On the court, players from both sides lined up to give each other high fives and hugs.
Wang Xiaohui hugged Arenas comfortingly.
Unlike others' frustration, Arenas hid it well.cold!Although frustrated, what he showed was cruelty!
"Gilbert, I won this time."
"Wang, you're lucky this time. See you in the NBA in the summer. Then, I'll abuse you."
"You still want to abuse me? Oh, Gilbert, you think too much."
"Humph! Just wait and see!"
Arenas is about to participate in the draft, but he hesitates to invite Wang Xiaohui.
Is he ready to enter the draft now?
To be honest, no.
His plan is to hone in the NCAA for another year, and then go to the NBA next year to get a high pick.
Seeing Arenas leaving coolly, Wang Xiaohui also hesitated...
On the sidelines, the two old coaches shook hands with each other.
Lute Olsen: "You guys won, congratulations."
Montgomery: "You guys played pretty well, too."
"Is wang the weapon you guys have been hiding all this time? If it wasn't for his last kick, I really thought he wouldn't be able to attack with the ball. Alas, it was a miscalculation after all."
"Ah? Haha." Montgomery laughed awkwardly, but changed the subject, "Your Gilbert scored 29 points in the first half, which can be said to have great potential. Maybe he will be a big star in the future."
"That guy is really a headache. No one can stop him from going crazy. However, once he suffers any blow, he may collapse. Today, didn't he lose his sense at the end?"
"They are still young, let's look down."
"Hmm, maybe you're right."
...
bang, bang, bang~~~
The fireworks exploded, and the sky was filled with colorful ribbons.
The winner celebrates his victory and leaves the stage feeling lonely.
Stanford fans rushed into the stadium and surrounded the team's heroes.
"Ooooooooo!!!"
"Win, we won! We won at Stanford!"
"We are going to the finals! We are going to win the championship!"
The scene suddenly became a red sea of joy.
……
(End of this chapter)
Whoosh!
With two outsiders chasing each other, Stanford's offense was done.
2-2
However, Arenas also laughed when he saw that Wang Xiaohui was just a tool on the court and the ball was hit by Jacobson.
Arenas withdrew his words of "I'm eyeing you" at the beginning. This small role is not worth it.
"Dude, you are just a small supporting role, don't waste your energy by running around."
Wang Xiaohui didn't care about such little sarcasm.
"No, I'm different from you. I'm the main force of the team. Today, I'm definitely the one who decides the outcome of this game."
Arenas did not expect that this guy, like himself, had an arrogant personality.
Although there is sympathy for each other, but this is a game, a battlefield, and Arenas will not show mercy.
"Forget it! The one who decides the outcome must be me! You know, I am Arizona's secret weapon!"
Unable to hold back, Arenas revealed the secret in his heart.
"Pfft~"
Wang Xiaohui didn't know if he should say that the other party was confident or conceited with such a second-year answer.Or is it true that the child did not grow up?
"You can't touch the ball once, and your secret weapon is good enough."
"There is no need for me to deal with you Stanford group of small characters. I have a secret weapon against Duke's group of brats."
Anyway, it was a slip of the tongue, and Arenas didn't care anymore.
In the eyes of Arenas, Arizona must be the winner of today's game.What's the matter if the other party knows?
The more Arenas said that, the more Wang Xiaohui wanted to stimulate him.
"Tch, don't think I don't know, you have such powerful players as Richard Jefferson, Luke Walton, Woods and Ruben, you are just a small part of the team."
"Just them? Huh~"
Another cold snort.
With such a conceit, how could Arenas be inferior to others?
"Just wait and see, sooner or later I'll let the world know that I'm Gilbert Arenas the best!"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaohui suddenly stopped laughing.
Conceit is the camouflage color of Arenas, but it is this constant expression that makes Arenas keep moving forward.
Thinking so, Wang Xiaohui suddenly ran towards the skill pack.
Arenas was staring at Chad Jefferson's attack from a distance, and he got a shoulder in his chest.
"Hiss~ what are you doing?"
Arenas rubbed his chest and glared at the other party, but in the end he heard——
"Gilbert, you are finally qualified to be my opponent."
"Bastard, who is going to be your opponent? You are not enough for me!"
Arenas was in a hurry, but he just didn't take any action, and he had no idea of getting it back.
Are you vegetarian today?Is he really obedient to the coach's arrangement?
Wang Xiaohui was a little anxious.
Several impacts and several confrontations did not drop skill packs.
Is it only produced when there is a ball?Or is Arenas not the target today?
Arenas didn't play tricks, and he didn't have the idea of taking the initiative to attack at all.
Then Wang Xiaohui could only change his goal.
Who should I replace?
Wang Xiaohui looked at Richard Jefferson who was in good condition.
……
On the court, the match continued, and as expected by the experts before the match, the two sides played back and forth at the beginning.
Stanford has the internal and external combination of Collins and Jacobson. Jacobson created a lot of opportunities, and Collins gained a lot in the interior.
Arizona has Jefferson and Woods in contact with each other, and Jefferson has made frequent shots from inside and outside.Jacobson was fed up with this one.
The difference between the two sides is very tight.
Played for 5 minutes, still 12-12.
Arenas and Wang Xiaohui are the two most able to run and the most active on the court.
However, the number of attacks they participated in is very few.
On the offensive end, neither of them could make more contributions, they could only be more active on the defensive end.
"Switch! Wang, you go and watch Richard."
Head coach Montgomery arranged for Wang Xiaohui to stare at Jefferson, which just happened to fulfill Wang Xiaohui's wish.
Seeing Wang Xiaohui greet Jefferson with a smile, Arenas, who just said "you and me", felt very uncomfortable.
'I shouldn't have a good defender, should I? '
However, soon, Arenas was happy.
On the other side, watching the young player Wang Xiaohui switch over, the corner of Jefferson's mouth rose.
The coach mentioned it before the game, saying that this person's defense is not bad.Asking him to take the initiative to find cover is to catch Jacobson to death.
However, the general will be outside, and the king's life will not be accepted.
Jefferson has decided to enter the NBA this summer. Since this is the opponent's excellent defender, this is also his opportunity to show his strength.
At this time, the commentator at the scene said:
"Richard Jefferson is a breakthrough wing player with strong explosive power. This wing position is his best position. Facing the defense of Stanford teenager Wang, he should be able to break through easily..."
However, before the commentator finished speaking, an accident occurred on the field.
boom!
Richard Jefferson broke through as the commentator said.
However, that was only his body, but his ball was broken.
"Steal the ball, Stanford steal the ball, counterattack, Stanford's counterattack. Frontcourt, three-on-one, McDonald gave to Wang, Wang then distributed to Jacobson, and Jacobson made a strong dunk. Wow , Such a smooth fast break, they didn't even dribble the ball, and they completed this attack."
As if he didn't believe in evil, Jefferson went to the frontcourt again, asked for the ball again, and faced Wang Xiaohui again.
"This time, you have no chance."
Those who talked a lot were supporting roles, so Wang Xiaohui didn't say a word to the other party.
The opponent is strong and talented, and indeed has the capital of self-confidence. Wang Xiaohui must be cautious, and more cautious.
coming!
The start of Jefferson's first step was not very fast, but he still tricked Wang Xiaohui.
After a little hesitation, Jefferson wiped it away.
Half a step!
Jefferson was half a step ahead.
However, half a step is enough.
Against Wang Xiaohui who was chasing after him, Jefferson rushed into the inside line strongly.
One, two, up!
In the air, Jefferson shot with ease.
boom!
When Jefferson was about to make a shot, the body was hit.
Originally, the shot was too straight, but suddenly changed direction in the air.
bang!
The basketball hit the backboard directly.
beep!
The referee had a discerning eye and gave Wang Xiaohui a foul.
Looking at Jefferson who got up from the ground, Wang Xiaohui shook his head in disappointment.
'No, this guy doesn't even drop skill packs.What a waste of my foul. '
Jefferson felt angry in his heart, was he being laughed at?It's obvious that the other party fouled me, how could he still have the nerve to laugh at me?
"You can only rely on fouls."
"Touch it and you're down, and you're left with the referee."
Sure enough, he was a young man. Just as Wang Xiaohui mentioned it, Jefferson exploded instantly.
Without the baptism of the Internet age, it is impossible to develop a super strong psychological quality.
Wang Xiaohui is one of the best, but Jefferson is far behind.
Then, Wang Xiaohui saw someone take his anger out on the basketball.
Bang!
Jefferson's free throw was too hard and hit the iron directly.
This is a 1+1 free throw system. If the first goal is not scored, there is no second chance.
"Backboard!"
The Collins brothers carried Loren Woods one by one and jumped up to grab the rebound.
"Michael!"
The first time, the ball was passed long and found the point guard Michael McDonald.
"Counterattack!"
Stanford hit back again.
Wang Xiaohui, MacDonald and Jacobson rushed to the opponent's backcourt at full speed.
Strange to say, Jacobsen was running faster than Wang Xiaohui at this moment.However, why is it always half a beat when defending?
Up front, three-on-three.
Although Arizona had already been waiting in the backcourt, the three of Stanford were not afraid, they just wanted to rush.
Like war horses on an ancient battlefield, the three formed a cone and pierced each other deep into the heart.
Wang Xiaohui pulled to the left, and there was already a vacancy for him.However, Jacobson, who was holding the ball, did not pass it!
Casey Jacobson chose to go it alone.
With a beautiful turn, he passed two people, forced himself up, avoided the block, and reversed the blue with a pull bar.
Cross the bridge!
The ball went straight over the viaduct!
However, it doesn't matter, at the landing point, Wang Xiaohui, who followed up, jumped high and hit the ball with one hand.
The ball bounced and jumped into the hoop.
"yeah!!!"
"Good make up!"
"Wang, beautiful!"
The Stanford people shouted excitedly.
As soon as the counterattack ball was scored, Stanford started.
Afterwards, they took advantage of the momentum and played a wave of 12-4.
The score came to 28-18.
The point difference was stretched to 10 points.
beep!
Arizona head coach Lute Olsen quickly called a timeout.
On the sidelines, the Arizona players were a little frustrated and disappointed, but Arenas's eyes were full of excitement, and he looked at the coach with piercing eyes.
'Richard and those guys can't do it, coach, can I do it? '
However, the coach did not assign him a task, but aimed at Arenas' defeated Ruben Douglas.
"Reuben, remember, follow what I said next, and resolutely beat Cassie."
……
Arizona's timeout worked really well.
After returning, Ruben Douglas took control of the offense.
Reuben was looking for no one but Jacobson.
Pick and roll again.
The dilemma that Stanford faced in the last game reappeared in this game.
Jacobson is like a genetic lack of defense, and he is once again a colander.
In 3 minutes, Ruben Douglas scored 8 points and 3 assists in a row, leading Arizona to reverse the score strongly.
30-32
Arizona leads by 2 points!
Stanford's defensive adjustments are also there, but the defense of the zone defense still has loopholes in Jacobson's part.
Ruben Douglas frequently broke into the key points of Stanford, and big center Loren Woods frequently ate cakes.
The 216-height big center Loren Woods not only scored consecutively, but also beat Stanford's main center Jason Collins.
Jason Collins, who had three fouls, could only temporarily sit on the sidelines in the remaining five minutes of the first half.
The situation has taken a turn for the worse.
Without Jason Collins' inside restraint, his younger brother Jaylon Collins is in a difficult position and cannot support himself.
At the critical moment, the main player Jacobsen failed again.The defense is not good, and the offense cannot score.
Although the rest of Stanford played hard and tried their best to make up for his defensive deficiencies, they always missed the other and were always stolen by the opponent.
Offensively, Stanford struggled even more.Without Jason Collins, Jacobson was invisible again. The third leading scorer Jaron Collins was blocked twice by Loren Woods in a single attack.
No matter what, Stanford couldn't easily hit the ball in.
Seeing that the point difference was about to reach 10 points, off the field, head coach Montgomery raised four fingers and shouted,
"Four!!!"
Tactic No. 4!Also the No. 4 scorer!
This is an offensive tactic!
Since the defense is not easy to defend, then attack.
Just like that, Stanford's offensive tactics began to change on the court.
……
"Sigh~"
Arenas took another elbow from Wang Xiaohui,
"Damn it, don't run away!"
Arenas always thought that Wang Xiaohui was just a little guy, just a tool man running around on the court to attract attention.
In the end, this time, he was wrong.
boom!
Arenas was about to continue chasing, but was blocked by a wall.
"not good!"
Sure enough, on the other side, bad things happened.
Whoosh!
Just as Arenas bypassed the wall, there was a clear sound of entering the net.
The ball was passed, it was passed to that guy!
Moreover, that guy's three-point shot is so accurate?Foolish?
"Gilbert, I scored again. How about you?"
Hearing this, Arenas clenched his hands, really itchy.
Still, he held back.
The coach's arrangement is to let Richard Jefferson and the others open up the situation.Things are looking pretty good in Arizona right now.Arenas felt that he should not disrupt the rhythm of the team.
He still has self-knowledge. Once he attacks, even his teammates will be very nervous.
"yeah!"
"Wang, great shot!"
"A few more, and we will win this game."
Seeing that guy and his teammates running back celebrating, Arenas suddenly felt envious and jealous.
'Next time, I will definitely not miss the chance to give it to you!absolute! '
Arenas thought so, but he couldn't do it.
After all, one person is no match for several people.
The next time Wang Xiaohui came again, Arenas still couldn't catch up.
After a few screens, Arenas was blocked.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Still in!
Enter again!
Three points in a row!
"yeah!"
"I knew that Wang is our secret weapon, and he is the most powerful existence at Stanford."
"I knew when Wang was training that I was a very powerful gun!"
The Stanford fans at the scene jumped up excitedly.
"Wow! Beautiful! The 19-year-old from China shot completely wide today. He became the spoiler of this game! Isn't Arizona going to target it? You know, if a shooter shoots crazy, then no one I can't stop it,"
The commentator at the scene gave Wang Xiaohui full praise.
On the court, Wang Xiaohui himself looked at his hands in disbelief.
This feeling of scoring goals is excellent.
Not far away, Arenas bit his lip, and the way he looked at someone changed.
beep!
Arizona took another timeout.
Although there is still a 4-point advantage in the point difference, they must be suspended.
If that kid continues to score three points, then this game will not be fun.
Pause, it's the fiery feel that cools that kid down.
Arizona head coach Lute Olsen could see that the opponent was playing with an all-out offensive lineup, and the core was on that kid.
On the sidelines, Olsen specifically pointed out:
"Switch! Pay attention to switch! When you meet that kid running, you unconditionally switch for me. Don't let that guy make another shot."
The assistant coach on the side reminded: "Coach, shall we give up the original zone defense?"
"Of course!"
What the zone defense is most afraid of is the three-pointer.Obviously, the opponent has a scary shooter, and their zone defense had to be suspended.
Arizona's defense has made a man-to-man arrangement, but the old coach wants to emphasize offense.
If the opponent wants to attack, then we will accompany them to attack!
"There is nothing to say about defense, everyone is marking people with all their strength, don't have the idea of reserving physical strength, and marking people hard.
What I want here is to attack!Inside, I want you to keep pounding their inside.Their main big man has gone down, and there are only a few insignificant existences they can play inside.Loren, Richard, Ruben, Luke, if you get a chance, hit the paint hard and don't give their big guys any chance to breathe. "
The closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score.Those who get inside, get the world!
This is how old-school coaches play and think.
"Understood, Coach!"
Everyone in Jefferson nodded in response, but Arenas asked a question suddenly.
"Coach, what about me?"
As a result, as soon as he asked, the old coach's old hand pressed on Arenas' shoulder.
"Gilbert, take a break for a while."
This time, Arenas was in a very bad mood.
He endured most of the quarter and only took 3 shots.When the team needed him so much, the coach didn't even give him a chance!
'Replace me?It's not my fault that the defense misses.Why replace me? '
'At the offensive end, I can do it too. '
'You can't do it without me! '
At this moment, Arenas even started to cheer for the kid on the other side.
Although the questioning look from that kid made people very uncomfortable, but he really wanted to see that guy beat up his teammates in Arizona.
However, as he thought, on the court, Arizona's new lineup was deflated.
"Can't catch up! Wow, can't catch up! Wang's running position is too smart, three-pointer, another three-pointer, this is already his fourth three-pointer in this game."
"Oh, Wang ran so nimbly that the two guards in Arizona collided. Wang retreated to the side and hit another three-pointer easily. Oh, his state is still crazy today. And we saw , the two guards in Arizona are now rubbing their hands in some places, it seems that they have hit an important position, and I don't know if they will be happy in the rest of their lives?"
"Corner three! Arizona missed the most important man, Wang! Richard jumped over, can he get it? Oh, no, fake, Wang didn't choose to shoot. Oh, no! Not good! "
Because of Wang Xiaohui's excellent touch, Arizona's defense all focused on him.
Richard Jefferson doesn't want this guy scoring in front of him again.He rushed forward quickly, bouncing off the ground.
However, Wang Xiaohui didn't make a move, it was a fake move.
Knowing that he had been deceived, Jefferson wanted to hide, but he jumped so hard that he couldn't help himself when he reached the air.
Richard Jefferson slammed straight into Wang's shoulder just like that.
If you are not careful, you will lose your balance.
boom!
Jefferson fell hard to the ground.
With a sound of "Ah", Jefferson covered his shoulders and rolled several times on the ground before rolling to the feet of his teammates on the sidelines.
His entire face was wrinkled together, looking extremely painful.
Beep beep beep!
The game is suspended.
"Team doctor!"
Soon, the stretcher was on the stage.
The situation speaks for itself.
Richard Jefferson is injured,
The team doctor's initial diagnosis was a dislocated shoulder.
Although this was just an accident, the way many people looked at Wang Xiaohui's innocent face became different.
Especially those who watched Stanford's last three games.
Every time you collide with Wang Xiaohui, someone will definitely feel bad.
As for Wang Xiaohui himself, no matter how he was hit, he was completely fine.No matter how many times he was knocked to the ground, he could stand up easily.
"Didn't he kill Jamal Nelson in the previous game against St. Joseph's?"
"If you want to avoid injury on the court, stay away from this kid!"
"Is this the mysterious power from the East?"
No one regarded Wang Xiaohui as a super-strong existence, but they immediately attributed it to some myths and legends.
Wang Xiaohui didn't know that he had such a force, he only knew that the destined person he was looking for today was not Jefferson.
Even after being bumped by the opponent, there is no skill pack dropped yet.Then, the predestined person must be someone else.
'Is it Wharton who replaced Jefferson? '
Walton on the field suddenly had a cold back, always feeling that something bad happened.
The opportunity presented itself quickly in the next turn.
It was Wang Xiaohui who ran out of space again, and Luke Wharton caught up with the defense.
With the lessons learned by Jefferson, Wharton is still very cautious this time,
"If you don't dance, you don't dance,"
He was thinking silently in his heart.
"Watch the ball!"
And just when Wang Xiaohui raised his hand to shoot, Wharton couldn't hold back after all.
Jumped up a little.
However, such a jump was taken advantage of by Wang Xiaohui.
Facing Wharton's defense, Wang Xiaohui also jumped out.
In this way, it hit directly.
A typical deception and foul play of later generations.
Sure enough, the referee blew his whistle.
beep! ! !
Luke Walton's defensive foul, and, it's a three-point foul! ! !
"Oh no!"
Wharton had a painful headshot, very helpless.
Wharton was so angry when he saw that kid got cheap and shook his head and said "it's not him".
Next, say what you say to make the other person look good.
Wang Xiaohui really shook his head.
Wharton doesn't seem to be a predestined person either.After all, his talent is still far from that of his father.
So, who is the predestined person?
Wang Xiaohui couldn't help looking at Arenas who was smiling off the court.
'Has it always been Arenas? '
However, I've tried it before, and it doesn't seem to work.
Is it necessary to have the ball to attack?
"wuwuwu~~~"
Wang Xiaohui walked to the free throw line, and the opposing fans tried their best to interfere.
"Hiss~hoo~~~"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xiaohui quickly concentrated his attention.
Compared with skill packs, the most important thing is to win the game.
Steady shot.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Free throws are Wang Xiaohui's most reliable means of scoring.
Steadily made three free throws and scored another three-pointer.
Then, with Arizona's Ruben Douglas missing the final drive, the first half was over.
beep beep beep~
The final score of the first half of the two sides was fixed at:
53-49
Stanford led by 4 points.
……
As soon as Wang Xiaohui got off the field, he was hooked by the shoulders of the head coach Montgomery.
"Boy, you did a good job."
In the first half, Stanford led by 4 points, and these 4 points were completely brought about by Wang Xiaohui's wave of three-pointers.
Wang Xiaohui made 9 of 6 three-pointers at halftime and scored a game-high 22 points!
This is more than his own scoring record in a single game.
However, Wang Xiaohui felt that this was not enough.
His hands are still hot, and he can still cast.
Today, the scoring record must be blown!
"Coach, I think I can shoot again."
"Okay, okay, in the second half, enough possession of the ball!"
The head coach waved his hand happily and directly gave Unlimited the right to fire.
"Coach, just watch, I will definitely take you to touch the floor of the finals."
"Hahaha, I don't agree with just the floor."
"Then I'll try harder."
"Hahaha!"
The old and the young walked into the backstage dressing room with such happy smiles.
Behind them, everyone at Stanford was also in a particularly good mood.
Except for Jacobson, who has become a big loophole again today.
This guy's complexion is not very good at the moment, and he is a little depressed.
It was a bad mood out of favor.
On the other side, the situation in Arizona is worse.
"What? Richard is sure he can't fight?"
"Yes, Mr. Coach. It's really a pity, but I have to tell you this news."
"I see."
Lute Olsen swung the doctor away.
Worry, Olson frowned into a word of Chuan.
Without Jefferson's sharp knife, it's not just the loss of an important weapon, but a dismantling of the style of play.
Although Wharton can replace Jefferson, who will replace Wharton?
not at all!
When encountering a weaker opponent, maybe it can be replaced like that, but this opponent is Stanford, the favorite team to win the championship.
In the first half, they exceeded the score by relying on the absence of Jason Collins.In the second half, the opponent came back sooner or later, and Stanford was the strong Stanford team again.
Their internal containment force is strong enough.With the addition of a Chinese kid who suddenly feels hot from the outside, then this Stanford team will be even more difficult to deal with.
It's not terrible to fight openly in the competition, the terrible thing is that there are accidents.
Jefferson can't fight on his own side, but the opponent has an extra X factor, so how should we deal with it?
At this moment,
knock knock knock
There was a knock on the lounge door.
"Coach, are you looking for me?"
"Gilbert, you should know why I'm looking for you, right?"
"It must be that you need my secret weapon."
"That's right!"
"Gilbert, in the second half, you will be the absolute core of the team. Just like in the training game, you can play according to your own ideas. The whole team will cooperate with you."
"Coach, isn't this bad? It's too disunity."
"No, this is not disunity, this is our tactic. I need you to use your fast break to completely disrupt the opponent's rhythm..."
The more Lute Olsen said, the brighter Arenas' eyes became.
"I understand! Coach, just wait and see!"
Seeing Arenas running away excitedly, who knew Orr, this guy must have gone to show off.
The rare leadership position is indeed exciting for him.
As for the words that Arenas is the secret weapon, this is exactly what the coach coaxed the children.
In Lute Olsen's view, Arenas is a nerve knife that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't work.
The upper limit is high, but the lower limit is also worrying.
Arenas has a strong competitive spirit, he is conceited, and he has personality, but he is too personal.
He has abilities, but his offensive choices are not very good, and he often appears hot-headed.
If one is not good, this kid may fall into the ice hole.
However, in today's situation, Olsen has no more room for consideration.
Today, Arenas, must do!If you can't do it, you have to do it!
……
Come back from the rest, the second half of the game is about to start.
On the court, Wang Xiaohui and Arenas faced off again.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Seeing the return of Arenas, Wang Xiaohui sent a friendly elbow.
"Hmph, just wait and see."
Arenas pouted his butt not to be outdone.
Stanford's offense came through quickly.
After halftime, Wang Xiaohui still has to be beaten.
Wang Xiaohui has already started to move.
At this time, the perimeter began to guide the ball.
Seeing the left corner, Wang Xiaohui, who threw off the defender, was about to run into place.
As a result, Jacobson, who took the ball from the wing, made a fake pass, but chose to do it alone.
Rush!
This choice is not a big deal, and it's still a smart decision.
However, it would be unwise for Jacobson to attack the opponent's 216 big man Loren Woods.
boom!
Jacobson got a big hat.
"Gilbert!"
The ball is in the hands of Arenas.
Arenas took the ball a big step forward, speeded up instantly, and rushed towards Stanford's backcourt like a meteor.
"Back to defense, back to defense! Stop him!"
Jason Collins yelled loudly, but the only defender who could chase back was Michael McDonald.
1v1
Arenas didn't give his opponent any chance, not even a chance to foul.
With a gesture of bowing to Buddha, Arenas wiped away from McDonald's side.
Go to the empty basket and jump up.
boom!
Arenas doesn't often dunk, but this one had to be a dunk.
"yeah!!!"
Looking at the excitement of the Arizona fans on the sidelines, Arenas knew that his choice was completely correct.
Arizona needed this goal so badly.
However, are you satisfied with this ball?
No, not enough!
Arenas pretended to be cool and walked back step by step, like a cold-blooded killer.
This is Agent Zero.
On Stanford's side, Jacobson patted his chest. "My, my, my fault."
On the court, Wang Xiaohui actually hated such an understatement of apology.Such an apology is insincere.
It's like slapping someone and saying 'I'm sorry', which makes people uncomfortable.
Fortunately, however, Jacobson did know he was wrong.
In the next round, Jacobsen found Wang Xiaohui with a precise pass.
Wang Xiaohui made another shot from the three-point line.
Whoosh!
Still in!
The seventh three-pointer!
56-51
There was another sensation in the audience.
But Wang Xiaohui looked at Agent Zero with cold eyes, and stared at him fiercely.
"Mr. Skill Pack, are you ready to accept my destruction?"
"Humph!"
Arenas didn't understand the foreign language spoken by the other party, but he subconsciously let out a cold snort.
Kindness to an opponent is cruelty to oneself.
"I'm going to beat you to pieces!"
As he spoke, Arenas elbowed Wang Xiaohui again, and slipped away again.
Arizona, fast serve, counter hit...
.
The game suddenly entered a fierce confrontation stage.
The two sides fought bravely, just like a bayonet fight on a modern battlefield.
The scene was full of vigor, and the cheers of the fans were louder and louder.
Before the game, no one thought that this game would become a confrontation between two role players.
Relying on Wang Xiaohui's hard-to-defend shots, Stanford continued to cause trouble for opponents.Also relying on Wang Xiaohui's shooting threat, others were able to liberate more space.
Wang Xiaohui's teammates Jason Collins, Jacobson, and Jaron Collins were all revived.
Stanford was originally a team with a strong inside line. From the outside to the inside, and then from the inside to the outside, Stanford fought a beautiful battle.
A perfectly accurate gun is likely to influence the outcome of a match.However, not today, because a killing god appeared on the opposite side.
Arizona relied on Arenas to bring up the fast break rhythm in one fell swoop.
Although without Richard Jefferson, Arizona's offense has become stronger.
With his own strength, he scored consecutively and completely supported the entire team.He broke into Stanford's position as if he had entered no one's land. His shot choices were all hanging and hanging, which made people nervous, but if he could hit the ball in, there was nothing you could do.
Just like Iverson of the 76ers, Arenas is really top today.
.
There was a pause, and both sides finally breathed a sigh of relief.
the last 3 minutes,
The battle between the two sides became 89-89, a tie!
In the last 3 minutes, the physical fitness of both sides has declined significantly, and the shooting rate has begun to decline.
This suspension is a necessary adjustment.
.
"Heh~huh~~heh~huh~~~"
On the sidelines, the players were constantly panting.
Everyone is very tired, but their eyes are full of fighting spirit.
Seeing his disciples like this, coach Lute Olsen nodded in satisfaction.
"Very well, lads, well done. Especially Gilbert!"
After being named in this way, Arenas' expression was flat, but his heart was ecstatic.
'Old man, count your knowledge. '
After the words of encouragement, Coach Olson took the drawing board and began to give pointers.
"Everyone has done a good job defending Wang. Everyone has seen that his shooting percentage is decreasing, and his three-pointers are no longer a threat. Therefore, people still have to chase, but be careful. Our opponents are smart People, they have a lot of ghost ideas. Especially Wang, an Asian, he does not have excellent ball-handling skills. I was deceived by the opponent's fake action..."
"Everyone is very tired now, so it depends on who is more persistent. We saw that the Asian boy on the opposite side started to ask the cheerleading girl to massage and soothe the sore muscles. They must be exhausted. Next, I want you Keep running! We're going to end this game with a fast break."
"Arizona, must win!"
What Lute Olsen wanted was to win the opponent in one go, but on the opposite side, Stanford's head coach Montgomery did the same thing.
"Boys, you are all great. The gangsters on the other side were beaten so hard by you that they couldn't speak. You see, they are panting now, and they don't even have the strength to stand up. But we are different, We are full of energy, and we still have inexhaustible strength..."
"Come on, lads, and kill 'em!"
"Kill them!!!"
With the cheering shouts from both sides, 10 young men went into battle again.
……
beep!
The final battle has come.
This is the time to fight for willpower, and the two sides are still unrelenting.
They all want to crush the other party to death in one fell swoop, but no one can easily pull away.
On this side, Jason Collins blocked Arenas' layup strongly inside, and on the other side, Luke Wharton stole Jacobson's pass.
On this side, Wang Xiaohui's shooting percentage dropped, and he began to rely on fake moves to cheat free throws.Arenas suffered a dull loss and gave Wang Xiaohui two points; on the other side, Arenas responded immediately, serving the ball from the backcourt, galloping straight to Huanglong, and scored a quick high-ball hit.
...
The two sides came and went, and the fight was a bit chaotic, but the scene was fiery and exciting.
Everyone wanted to kill each other in one go, but no one was able to do so.
the last 1 minutes,
93-93, the two sides are still evenly divided.
At this time, Arizona organized the offense on the field.
"Quick, quick, press them all over!"
Although coach Lute Olsen is still urging everyone to speed up the fast break, Arizona's fast break opportunities have not come out.
The people at Stanford weren't fast, but Arizona couldn't run either.
Had to fall into the half-court battle.
positional warfare?
The second scorer, big center Loren Woods wanted the ball inside.
"Gilbert, give me the ball!"
It was a clutch shot, and Woods wanted to be a star.
However, Arenas, who was holding the ball outside, didn't see it at all.He also raised his hand to direct.
"Pull it away, pull it all away, I want to eat him alone."
The insider Loren Woods pursed his lips and looked at the coaching staff first. Seeing that someone had acquiesced over there, he could only silently admit it.
Glancing at Arenas resentfully, Woods walked away reluctantly.
The vacancy opened up, this is the best stage for Arenas.
"Boy, hit it in. You've hit half court, don't let this one ruin all your hard work."
Arizona coach Lute Olsen folded his arms and only had Arenas in his eyes.
Success or failure, he bet on Arenas alone.
At this time, Arenas on the court was extremely excited.
He knows that now, people all over the world are watching him play.
This is his chance to show the world his super strength.
Looking at the Chinese boy who was guarding him closely, Arenas' eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Wang, be careful."
Without waiting for the other party's response, Arenas took a step back and suddenly started.
When it comes to team battles, Arenas admits that he lacks technical and tactical abilities, but when it comes to fighting alone, he has never convinced anyone.
And he did.
After two crotch dribbles, Arenas leaned to the left, and Wang Xiaohui's body moved involuntarily.
It was such a small gap that Arenas seized the opportunity.
Quickly changed direction with one crotch, took the right path and forcibly killed him.
It's that simple to live alone, as long as I think about it!
This is not the first time Arenas has passed Wang Xiaohui.Although the opponent is difficult, he is not afraid of anyone.
Arenas went inside Stanford again and again.
Everyone in Arizona stood up, and they were ready to cheer and celebrate Arenas.
Unexpectedly, when Arenas was receiving the ball and was about to hit Jason Collins, a hand stretched out from behind.
boom!
Arenas jumped up and crashed into Collins' arms, but the ball in his hand disappeared.
Steal the ball!
Arenas' ball was stabbed away by Wang Xiaohui.
"Wang!"
Jaron Collins, who got the ball, gave the ball to Wang Xiaohui immediately.
Wang Xiaohui went forward for a while, and immediately sent the ball to the point guard McDonald. Without the ball, Wang Xiaohui suddenly accelerated and killed the opponent's backcourt.
It's unbelievable that anyone else can keep up with him.
Who?
Jacobson!
The last minute is less than 1 minute. This is the most important time of the game and the most difficult time. It is the time to fight for willpower and physical strength.
At this time, who has the most willpower and physical strength?
Of course it was Wang Xiaohui who was cheating.
But, at the moment, Jacobson is equally fit.
At this moment, Wang Xiaohui couldn't say anything, at most he laughed.
The Arizona players were about to cry.
"Return to defense! Stop them!"
They shouted very loudly, but they couldn't catch up.
Seeing the other two rushing away, they couldn't move forward.
In the frontcourt, Wang Xiaohui selflessly sent an assist to help Jacobson slam dunk.
"yeah!!!"
This goal was a booster, and all Stanford people raised their arms and shouted.
95-93
Stanford already has a head start on winning.
And the Arizonans didn't know what to say.
'Why, why is this happening?It shouldn't be. '
'Didn't the coach say that the opponent was at the end of his rope?How can they still run so well? '
'I get it, they've been conserving their energy from the start, they're doing it for this last-minute burst. '
Many people have made up Stanford's despicable tactics.Feeling that they were cheated, they cursed angrily.
However, thinking about it, I feel that something is wrong.
Isn't that Chinese kid running all over the court?How is he still so active?It shouldn't be.
Arizonans can't figure it out.
It is precisely because of the idea in the mind that the actions of the Arizona players on the court began to change.
"careful!"
It was Arizona's offensive opportunity, but the inadvertent pass was cut off.
boom!
Wang Xiaohui!
Wang Xiaohui suddenly came out from the halfway and cut off the ball passed to Arenas.
"Casey!"
Wang Xiaohui gave the ball to Casey Jacobson who was nearby, and rushed forward by himself.
It's just that he hasn't rushed far, and the steal happens again.
"Wow!"
"Come on, Gilbert!"
Angry Arenas steals Jacobson and immediately kills Stanford's position.
Without Wang Xiaohui's frontal containment, Arenas easily rushed to the penalty area.
In the chaotic army, a fake move opened up an open space, and Arenas immediately stopped and shot a jumper.
The speed was so fast that Jason Collins and the others couldn't catch up.
Whoosh!
The ball is in!
95-95, another draw.
At this time, the referee also blew his whistle, and Jason Collins thugs fouled.
This is a 2+1!
"And one!"
Arenas roared excitedly at the Stanford fan area, he finally no longer had a cold face before, but a face full of excitement.
This is the excitement of winning.
Arizona fans yelled as Arenas stood at the free throw line.
"MVP, MVP, MVP!"
With Arenas' excellent performance in the second half, he has already scored 39 points, plus this free throw, that's 40 points!
This game, without Jefferson, everyone thought it would be over, but it didn't!
Arenas is the savior of Arizona!
bang, bang, bang~
Arenas dribbled the ball a few times to calm down his excitement.
This free throw is very important. As long as it is scored, Arizona will take the initiative again.
But Arenas didn't do it.
Bang!
"Ah~"
With a sigh, the basketball jumped out of the hoop.
The rebound was saved by Jason Collins.
"Counterattack!"
Now it was Stanford's turn to fight back.
"Wang!"
Someone in Arizona fell in this side of the court, and Collins thought it was a good opportunity for a fast break.
In the team, the others couldn't run, and Collins' first reaction was to give the ball to the energetic Wang Xiaohui.
However, Collins regretted it as soon as he passed the ball.
In the front court, Wang Xiaohui, who got the ball, suddenly realized that the situation was not good.
In front, the penalty area is closed, and the Arizona players are eyeing them. Behind them, Arenas and the others have already chased them back.
And his teammates were all still in their own half, not keeping up.
The team was out of touch, and Wang Xiaohui was in danger.
'Captain, you are hurting me. '
There is an interception in the front, there are chasing troops in the back, and the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, what should I do?
Wang Xiaohui was heartbroken, dribbled forward, and without waiting for anyone, he shot coldly from outside the opponent's three-point line.
"Wang, it's not calm to wait for your teammates to choose to take the shot yourself."
"Three-pointers, he actually chose three-pointers! We all know that he hit 9 three-pointers before, but now his shooting percentage has dropped. He still dares to do this. It's really too reckless."
"Wang is really still a young man, his choice, uh~"
Many people had opinions of one kind or another, but as the basketball got into the net, all doubts suddenly changed.
Whoosh!
Basketball hollow into the net.
98-95
With three points, Stanford led by 3 points again.
"yeah!"
The scene suddenly fell silent, only Wang Xiaohui was left beating his chest and roaring.
His fierce eyes appeared on the big screen, and there was a murderous look in his eyes, which was the murderous look of death that suffocated the opponent.
After a while,
"Woooooo!!!!"
Countless people at the scene jumped up from their seats.
"Wang, wang, wang!"
This is an arrow that seals the throat with blood, and this is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
However, the Arizona people have not given up on the field.
In the backcourt, Arenas came again.
A dragon, even acquaintances, Arenas once again killed the frontcourt.
When chasing points was so important, Arenas didn't care about it. He found a cover outside the three-point line and directly made a domineering three-pointer.
The basketball flew high to the hoop.
"Go in, let me in."
"Get out, get out!"
Fans on both sides have their own beliefs.
Arenas looked at the basketball and bit his lower lip hard.
'If that guy can get in, so can I. '
However, the basket told him: No, you can't.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop.
"Backboard!"
The basket was in chaos, and the brothers Jason Collins were restrained by Loren Woods.
Several long arms work in the air.
The basketball was clicked several times, and finally magically fell into the arms of Jacobson who was 'staying out'.
'? '
Jacobson himself was a little silly, how did this ball come about?
However, he didn't delay the matter and hurried out the ball.
"Wang!"
The first pass was passed to Wang Xiaohui.
I don't know if it was influenced by Jason Collins, but now Jacobson subconsciously wants to find Wang Xiaohui to handle the ball.
The Arizonans were shocked when they saw Wang Xiaohui take the ball.
Everyone knows that pervert Wang Xiaohui is full of energy now, if he rushes up, who can catch up?
"Return to defense, quickly return to defense!"
However, after Wang Xiaohui dribbled the ball steadily across the half, he passed the ball to McDonald.
On the sidelines, coach Montgomery shouted:
"Steady, steady, don't worry."
Yes, now that Stanford is leading by 3 points, it's the opponent who should be anxious.
Now there is not much time left, almost 32 seconds, as long as it is slowly consumed, the attack time is exhausted, and the opponent will only have 2 seconds at most.
That game was almost won.
However, Wang Xiaohui felt that it was not enough to be stable, and he had to create some troubles for the opponent.
After Wang Xiaohui handed over the ball, he bumped the clingy defender Ruben Douglas and slipped away again.
Seeing Wang Xiaohui fleeing far away, Douglas felt that his feet were full of lead, and he couldn't catch up, so he could only shout for help:
"Replenish defense! Watch him!"
Just one run by Wang Xiaohui directly exhausted Arizona's defenders.
Wang Xiaohui has the essence of the tactics of the enemy's exhaustion and our harassment.
Seeing the last 8 seconds left in the attack time, Wang Xiaohui started again, taking advantage of his physical strength to get another chance.
Fortunately, Arizona's supplementary defense was timely. Although Wang Xiaohui got the ball, the chances were not good.
Left bottom corner position.
Wang Xiaohui held the ball, and Arenas, who had switched defenses, was rushing almost two steps away.
"Roar!"
Wang Xiaohui used his favorite way of bluffing in the field to fake a shooting action that could not be faked.
Arenas didn't hesitate at all, and just blocked him.
"I won't let you succeed."
Seeing that Wang Xiaohui didn't make a shot and didn't make any follow-up actions, Arenas knew that the coach was right, he really didn't know how to attack with the ball.
However, just as the corner of Arenas' mouth was raised, Wang Xiaohui suddenly turned sideways and slammed into him.
This collision finally hit something.
"+10 hardness value!"
"Ding!"
"Trigger impact passive, reward [Emergency Stop Jump Shooting Skill Pack (Platinum)]"
On the court, Arenas took half a step back with hiss.
He didn't expect that Wang Xiaohui's confrontation was so strong.
After bumping Arenas, Wang Xiaohui raised his elbow.
go ahead!
Before the soldiers and horses arrive, the elbows go first.
With the elbow opening method taught by his master Dawkins, coupled with his strong upper and lower body strength, Wang Xiaohui just used a swipe of the ball protector so lightly, and Arenas was passed.
Of course Wang Xiaohui knew his weakness in offense with the ball, but he made good use of his strengths.
Coupled with his own good basic skills, breaking through the past is a perfectly normal thing.
Facing the 216-height insider giant Loren Woods who jumped out, Wang Xiaohui suddenly made a breakthrough that no one thought of.
I saw Wang Xiaohui quickly dodge right and left, and then, the big Loren Woods was caught off guard, so he stumbled under his feet and fell to the ground.
And Wang Xiaohui rushed into the inside line and jumped up suddenly.
He originally wanted to have a violent dunk, but because of the limited take-off height, he made an understatement dunk.
creak~
The basket slammed.
Although the strength is just that, but the effect of this dunk is very shocking!
Look!
"woooooo!!!!!!!!!"
A large red ocean suddenly rolled up the waves.
No one expected that Wang Xiaohui, who had never been good at breaking through, would be so good at breaking through.
The basketball hit the floor and bounced off Loren Woods' head.
On the other hand, Wang Xiaohui is aloof, ruling the world, looking down on all living beings!
"Wang, wang, wang!"
"MVP!"
Stanford fans at the scene shouted Wang Xiaohui's name loudly, and some even chanted the title "MVP" that Wang Xiaohui wanted to hear most.
On the field, Wang Xiaohui was surrounded by his teammates and kept applauding.
Arenas was on the sidelines. He looked at the high scoreboard and felt a little unwilling, while his teammates lowered their heads, feeling a little lost and frustrated.
On the sidelines, the Arizona coaching staff found the referee. Instead of calling for a foul, they kept turning their arms.
"It's a walk! It's definitely a walk!"
The referee himself didn't see too clearly.
It was the first time they had seen such an action.
How to do?
playback!
After discussions among all parties, the referee made the most sensible choice.
Surrounding the screen, the three referees slowed down and slowed down.
Wang Xiaohui's movement is very simple, just one right foot, one left foot, and then jump up.
walking, nonexistent.
In the previous breakthrough, Wang Xiaohui's elbow had a small movement and was suspected of a small foul.
"After repeated defenses in slow motion, the referee team unanimously agreed that the goal was valid and correct! The original verdict is upheld!"
When the referee said this, all the Stanford fans at the scene waved their celebration ribbons.
100-95
With a 5-point advantage, only the last 3.3 seconds remain.
Almost all of Stanford's body has broken into the gate of the finals.
The Arizonans naturally haven't given up.
However, 3.3 seconds is not enough time.
In the last attack, Arenas forced a three-point shot under the double-team of Wang Xiaohui and McDonald with the help of a cover.
Whoosh!
The ball was scored, but the Arizonans cried.
Because time is running out.
beep beep beep~~~
The game is over.
100-98
Stanford narrowly beat Arizona by 2 points and advanced to the NCAA Finals.

.
On the court, players from both sides lined up to give each other high fives and hugs.
Wang Xiaohui hugged Arenas comfortingly.
Unlike others' frustration, Arenas hid it well.cold!Although frustrated, what he showed was cruelty!
"Gilbert, I won this time."
"Wang, you're lucky this time. See you in the NBA in the summer. Then, I'll abuse you."
"You still want to abuse me? Oh, Gilbert, you think too much."
"Humph! Just wait and see!"
Arenas is about to participate in the draft, but he hesitates to invite Wang Xiaohui.
Is he ready to enter the draft now?
To be honest, no.
His plan is to hone in the NCAA for another year, and then go to the NBA next year to get a high pick.
Seeing Arenas leaving coolly, Wang Xiaohui also hesitated...
On the sidelines, the two old coaches shook hands with each other.
Lute Olsen: "You guys won, congratulations."
Montgomery: "You guys played pretty well, too."
"Is wang the weapon you guys have been hiding all this time? If it wasn't for his last kick, I really thought he wouldn't be able to attack with the ball. Alas, it was a miscalculation after all."
"Ah? Haha." Montgomery laughed awkwardly, but changed the subject, "Your Gilbert scored 29 points in the first half, which can be said to have great potential. Maybe he will be a big star in the future."
"That guy is really a headache. No one can stop him from going crazy. However, once he suffers any blow, he may collapse. Today, didn't he lose his sense at the end?"
"They are still young, let's look down."
"Hmm, maybe you're right."
...
bang, bang, bang~~~
The fireworks exploded, and the sky was filled with colorful ribbons.
The winner celebrates his victory and leaves the stage feeling lonely.
Stanford fans rushed into the stadium and surrounded the team's heroes.
"Ooooooooo!!!"
"Win, we won! We won at Stanford!"
"We are going to the finals! We are going to win the championship!"
The scene suddenly became a red sea of joy.
