Chapter 4 Trusting Your Teammates and Doing the Little Things on the Court
9:18 p.m. The NCAA's annual drama is about to begin as Frank Kaminsky and Marshall Plumlee take to the middle circle...

"di"

With the whistle of the referee, the ball was thrown into the air...

"Return to defense." Facing Marshall Plumlee, who couldn't even jump himself in training, Yang directly called his teammates to start to return to defense.

"Bang" Young's prediction was not wrong at all. As soon as Wisconsin got the ball, they wanted to speed up and hit the basket, but they underestimated Duke's prepared first line of defense. Tyus Jones used the video he watched before to successfully block Wisconsin point guard Koenig's breakthrough route.

One plan failed, and Wisconsin quickly took the next plan:
Take advantage of the Duke guard's lack of height and make a high lob for Decker to dunk
"Sam, be careful." Just as Decker was sprinting with all his strength to score Wisconsin's first point, Koenig suddenly found that his pass had lost its direction. No, it should be said that it was completely out of his control and was intercepted.

"I'm sure." Just as Koenig was thinking about where the defenders came from, Yang, who quickly walked past him, gave him the answer for free.

After stealing the ball, facing Wisconsin's interception, Yang completely wiped out the pursuers after two big strides, and came to Wisconsin's half.
Faced with an empty basket and the cheers of Duke fans, Young soared up one step from the free throw line and slammed the ball into the basket with fire.

When Young dunked the ball and scored the first two points for Duke, the Duke fans at Lucas Oil Stadium were completely ignited by Young:
"Mop, Mop, Mop"

…………

…………

If you can't play fast, Wisconsin immediately chooses to suppress the rhythm and play slowly.

"Bronson, give it to me." Kaminsky blocked Marshall Plumlee behind him and began to ask for the ball from his point guard.

The boss asked for the ball, how dare Koenig refuse to give it, and immediately made a lob pass posture. This time, in order to prevent accidents, he deliberately accelerated the height and speed of the lob.

Kaminsky, who received the ball, immediately slammed into Marshall Plumlee.

"bang"

Kaminsky's strength and size advantages played an absolute role, and Marshall Plumlee was pushed back a big step.

As Duke's thickest meat shield, the retreating Plumlee greeted Kaminsky without fear.

When Kaminsky wanted to exert force for the second impact, he suddenly found that he had lost the ball.

"Excellent timing for the defense and the cut. Young successfully cut the ball off Kaminsky. Now it's Duke's turn to counterattack. Their transition attack is their "killer" weapon."

"Pa" The Wisconsin player who finally reacted hugged Yang who wanted to speed up.

"Steady, don't rush, play slowly." Seeing the gesture of the old coach K to stabilize the rhythm, Yang, who sent the sideline ball, handed the ball to Tyus Jones.

Following the order of the old coach K, in the next few minutes, Young began to integrate into Duke's system doing things such as
Screening, pulling, running off the ball, protecting the backboards, moving the ball a lot.

This change made Wisconsin coach Ryan and the players on the field completely lose the defensive Duke offensive plan set before the game.

随着扬利用宽广的视野给马歇尔普拉姆利喂出轻松内切扣篮的机会，威斯康星在14:03时，已经7比18落后杜克11分之多。

With "Time out" trailing by ten, Wisconsin coach Ryan called the first timeout of the game in an emergency.

…………

…………

As a team that reached the finals, Wisconsin's ability to adjust was effective and quick. In the first offensive round back from a timeout, it changed its previous offensive decline and moved Young to the three-point line.

Wisconsin turned to take advantage of the trend, but Duke's offense had problems. Wisconsin, which changed its defense, began to pinch the ball to break through, control the passing route, and wanted to use mistakes to chase Duke's 9-point lead.

As Duke's only passer who is responsible for moving the ball in a wide range, Young immediately took over the ball and sent "cannonballs" to the diagonal

For some reason, Winslow and Quinn Cook squandered two excellent three-point opportunities that were sure to be guaranteed.

On the sidelines, Wisconsin coach Ryan was about to applaud the players to encourage their defensive performance this round, but found a ghostly figure, rushed to the inside, and tapped back the ball that had just left two-thirds of the basket.

"Sam, block, block, block, you are a power forward, you can't let Young rush in and make up the basket so easily." Successful defense turned into continued loss of points, and coach Ryan directly turned on the "hair dryer mode" to Decker, the person responsible for the accident.

Even if the "hair dryer" was turned on, Wisconsin did not avoid the fate of losing backcourt rebounds again after 1 minute.

Although Decker tried his best to squeeze Yang away from the basket, Yang, who has an advantage in height and wingspan, did not compete with Decker in strength at all. Instead, he used the 2.28-meter wingspan to quickly pick off the rebound that was flying in the air, and threw it toward the back of his blind spot.

"It's a freehand pass. It seems that Young really trusts his teammates. If he didn't trust him so much, this ball would be a [-]% miss." Seeing that the thrown ball just fell into the hands of Quinn Cook running here, Reggie Miller couldn't help but admire the courage of this young man.

"At 23:12, Duke's lead came to 11 points again. Wisconsin's Ryan, now think about how to solve Duke's core Yang. Without taking the ball or taking shots, Duke's offensive system is still going smoothly."Time for TV to pause, Reggie Miller and Albert start discussing Wisconsin

"The troubles on the defensive end are not troublesome, but the troubles on the offensive end are the main troubles for Wisconsin. About half of the first half, Wisconsin made five turnovers, and these five turnovers were all caught by Duke, and they successfully counterattacked five times. This is an important reason why they fell behind;
What they have to do now is to increase the success rate, avoid mistakes, and try to let Duke play positional warfare, put their bodies up in positional warfare, and put them in an uncomfortable state. "

Perhaps Albert's words were heard by Ryan. Following the offensive round, Decker cut to the basket and scored two points. Turning around, Wisconsin immediately strengthened its defensive hardness and control of the passing line. In the first 20 seconds, Duke's offensive running and cutting were repeatedly frustrated.

No. 20 seconds, Tyus Jones, who once again took back the ball, made tactical gestures with several people on the right wing.

No.20 three seconds, as the core of this tactic, Yang immediately stopped running across the baseline from right to left after receiving the signal, and began to run back to the right of the center of gravity of the tactic;
Decker, who was chasing Young, ran back a few steps before hitting the first protective wall: Winslow

Winslow is not broad-shouldered and not heavy, and Decker passed the first screen with only a slight delay.

The first cover is over?
How could that be, Duke's second screen ensued, this time on Duke's second-best screen wall, Marshall Plumlee.

Faced with Decker being entangled, Kaminsky raised his arms like a conditioned reflex to block Yang's three-pointer.

If you don't give three points, you will get two points.

Yang, who received the ball, did not hesitate at all. With a flick of his left wrist, he took advantage of Kaminsky's crotch to send a ball towards the vacuum zone inside;

"boom"

"It's a wonderful pass. Only a master monster would dare to make such a risky move."

Facing the extremely beautiful pass, Reggie Miller's praise could no longer be restrained.

Marshall Plumlee, who slid down after the block, faced this dunk opportunity that did not need to be adjusted, and completed a one-handed split dunk very easily and freely.
