NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

Back on the court, Okafor, who was scolded, really did the pick-and-roll and defense.

Before he even took a breath, the game returned to the original state.

Fortunately, with the good touch of McGinnis and the point guard, Roy was not under so much pressure on the offensive end.

The two sides formed a tug-of-war,

You go back and forth,

Roy checked the gaps on the defensive end and made the situation stable,

He was also able to organize the offense, and his teammates got a lot of opportunities by running back and cutting,

The score was always close,

Unable to stand Okafor's tough defense on the court, Roy decided to continue to fool this big man,

"Hey, Emeka, aren't you going to compete with me for the best inside player? Why are you always doing the blue-collar work of wiping your butt?"

Okafor didn't want to pay attention to this annoying opponent,

He slipped like a loach,

Of course, if the opponent didn't have a mouth, Okafor would definitely think Roy was a good player.

"Shut up, bastard. Offense wins games, defense wins championships. Do you understand?"

"I don't know whether we're champions or not. I just know that some people are fooled by their coaches and are still working as blue collars.

Do you know why Dwight Howard of Southwest Christian Academy in Atlanta is now predicted to be ahead of you in the draft?"

Okafor was successfully aroused. This is a question he has been unable to figure out.

Why is he overtaken in this year's draft prediction when his performance data has always been better than that high school student?

Realizing that the opponent was now in the opponent's state, Okafor could not help but retort:

"You are not a scout, what do you know!"

"I don't understand, but I know that DeWalt is now being trained as the core of the team in high school and has the right to fire on offense, unlike the University of Connecticut, which treats you purely as a blue-collar worker."

After Roy stopped talking, Okafor's face changed slightly, as if he thought of something, and even his defense was two beats slower.

Taking this opportunity, Roy received a pass from his teammate and hit a mid-range shot over Okafor's head.

Okafor, who was thinking, didn't care. He walked and recalled Roy's words, which seemed to make sense.

Okafor was a little anxious. If this continued, his draft stock would not only be surpassed by Howard, but he might also be surpassed by Roy, whom he looked down on.

This was something he could not accept anyway. He originally planned to participate in the draft last year,

but it became this year at the suggestion of the coach. This seemed to be a conspiracy in Okafor's recollection.

He didn't earn a salary of millions of dollars a year, and stayed to play college basketball?

The more I thought about it, the more it didn't seem right.

Connecticut University had the right to attack, Ben Gordon habitually moved his hands to indicate that Okafor should go over to help him pick and roll,

Okafor pretended not to see it,

The honest man began to have selfish thoughts in his mind, no, I have to get some stats, otherwise the draft will be too disadvantageous.

Okafor started to position himself in the paint.

The center got nervous again. Ben Gordon was a little angry. He didn't pass the ball, but dribbled twice and shot hard without McGinnis losing his position.

"Bang"

The basketball hit the rim hard and bounced out. Roy took it and threw the basketball to McGinnis for a fast break.

When he passed by Okafor and faced Okafor with a bad face, he continued to gloat:

"Emeka, did you see that? He doesn't respect you at all. Everyone on your team treats you as a blue-collar worker and a laborer. If you don't believe it, look at me."

After saying that, he motioned to his point guard who had no hope of a fast break to give the ball to him.

The basketball was passed to Roy in a flash.

"Look, Emeka, this is the difference!"

After saying that, he broke through to the basket and dunked successfully while Okafor was in a daze again.

Okafor's thoughts have fallen into a vicious circle. He feels that the whole Connecticut is fooling him.

Connecticut coach Calhoun on the sidelines saw Okafor start to act stupid again, and he was so anxious that he yelled at the court.

Okafor looked at the coach with disdain. He felt that every time he looked at the other party, he would feel disgusted.

Thinking back to the team status and offensive training promised when he met me in high school, it was completely unrealized. This liar treated me as a ruthless tool!

I don't have any status now, but I do have a younger brother position. Every one of the outside players at the University of Connecticut is counted as one, no matter how big or small, and I am responsible for picking and rolling for them with just a flick of my finger.

I want to be a star in the NBA, not a coolie! Is it to waste a million dollars in annual salary to let you guys order me around?

Thinking of this, Okafor felt that none of these teammates at the University of Connecticut were pleasing to the eye.

Back to the offensive side, Okafor ran into a gap under the basket again. The point guard of the University of Connecticut hesitated.Then he passed the ball again.

The fleeting opportunity was missed, and the basketball was shot out of bounds by USC.

Connecticut coach Calhoun couldn't stand Okafor's sleepwalking on the court and yelled to replace him.

Okafor sat on the sidelines with a gloomy face.

On the court, USC still didn't have a good solution.

The score was deadlocked.

Until the second half of the first half, Ben Gordon suddenly exerted his strength.

He made a three-pointer after his teammates' screen.

Then he scored a layup with the team's rebound.

He also scored a layup with his forward pick-and-roll.

The score gradually lost its original balance under his strength.

He was pulled away step by step by Connecticut.

He deserved to be the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year. He was really impeccable in terms of scoring ability.

Otherwise, the Bulls would not have chosen a 1.91-meter shooting guard with the third pick.

The fans of USC in the stands saw Ben Gordon start to exert his strength, and they couldn't help but secretly sweat for the team they supported.

On the commentary stand, Barkley looked like he had a sure win, sitting there talking about the team being a game of five people, and that one person could never fight against a team.

He completely forgot that his team was beaten black and blue by Jordan's one-on-five.

Of course, he had reasons to be confident. At this stage, he hadn't seen any player on the field who had the ability to change his fate. Even Okafor, who was currently ranked the highest in the draft prediction, was just a simple-minded blue-collar player in his eyes.

The score was gradually pulled further and further away by Connecticut.

After Ben Gordon hit another mid-range shot, the score difference reached a desperate 16 points!

The audience in the stands began to wail, feeling that their miracle team was about to end.

Roy stopped Coach Claire from calling a timeout.

Roy played a one-on-one match with Okafor who had just returned to the court near the three-point line at the top of the arc.

He dribbled and made a pick-and-roll with McGinnis, who cut inside and took Okafor away.

Roy dribbled and took a step back, then hit a three-pointer against the opposing small forward who was rushing to defend outside the three-point line!

The score difference was 13 points, and the first half was almost over, with only 28 seconds left to attack.

Ben Gordon dribbled across half court and signaled everyone to move away, as he wanted to use up the last time.

With only 8 seconds left, Ben Gordon started a breakthrough and made a high throw that passed Roy's fingertips.

The basketball accurately went into the basket.

55 to 40, Roy didn't want the team to enter the second half with a 15-point difference,

signaled McGinnis to serve quickly,

Roy took the ball and dribbled to the half court from outside his own three-point line,

In the eyes of everyone's surprise, Roy took two steps in the half court and threw the ball to the basket,

Super long-distance three-pointer!

Okafor, who was guarding the three-point line, was stunned. There were still two seconds, why don't you take a few more steps forward?

With Roy's unstoppable momentum

"Shua" the ball went in and the lights came on.

Although the three-pointer was hit, the audience felt that USC was in danger,

Okafor hadn't really played yet, and the score difference was still 12 points,

If Okafor knew, he would probably want to curse, I have worked so hard to be a dog, and I still say I haven't played. What do you want me to do?

Barkley said sincerely in the commentary booth:

"Connecticut has a sure win. Whether you admit it or not, they have firmly taken the initiative on the court. Except for Roy, the level of other players in USC is obviously different from that of Connecticut. No one can help him, just like me in the finals that year."

Kenny Smith rolled his eyes at him and thought to himself that if I hadn't watched the entire series without missing a single game and knew that there were two teammates on your team averaging 20+ points per game, I would have almost believed your lies.

Back to the game, even the stubborn Kenny Smith had to admit that USC was likely to stop in this game.
