NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

The conflict on the court seemed like a child playing house. After the adults came out to stop it, it quickly disappeared.

But everyone knew that this was a superficial phenomenon.

In their hearts, it went from calm to undercurrent.

It was like pouring a pot of hot oil in a tense situation.

At the midfield jump ball point, Sheldon Williams refused to give in. He approached Roy and gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Yellow boy, you have angered me. You are dead today."

Roy stood up and pointed at Sheldon Williams to the referee: "Referee, do you care? This guy is so noisy and delayed my game."

The referee obviously had never seen trash talk on the court and could only sullenly say:

"Sheldon, please watch your mouth. Don't forget that you already have a technical foul."

Sheldon Williams was choked and speechless, and reluctantly closed his mouth.

The referee blew the whistle, and the basketball was thrown high into the air.

A jump ball is a competition of height, arm span, and jumping speed. Obviously, Sheldon Williams has no advantage in these three aspects.

The basketball was easily passed to his teammates by Roy.

USC's first attack with the ball, Roy started to get the ball at the three-point line as usual.

The teammates' running positions did not give them any good opportunities, and Duke University's defense was very tight.

Roy dribbled the ball, taking advantage of his faster footsteps than Sheldon Williams, and broke through in disguise, passing him in two steps.

When he was about to enter the three-second zone, he felt an amazing impact on his back.

Roy, who was dribbling and making a layup, was pushed hard to the ground, and the basketball rolled out of the baseline.

The referee whistled, and Sheldon Williams walked aside expressionlessly.

At the beginning of the game, Coach K's strategy was to use fierce actions to force Roy away from the basket.

The purpose of his first foul was very clear, which was to give Roy a signal.

If you dare to enter the restricted area again, I will use more rude means to deal with you next time.

Roy got up from the ground. Duke University's style of play was strong and unscrupulous.

On the sidelines, Coach K looked at him with contempt, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if to say that this was just an appetizer!

The fans in the audience booed loudly to protest to Duke University.

Obviously, the effect was very limited. Sheldon Williams looked indifferent.

His thinking was highly synchronized with Coach K. He would do anything to win, and he was worthy of being his proud disciple.

Barkley in the commentary booth laughed: "The NCAA is finally interesting. Duke's performance today is a bit like the 1980s and 1990s, but it is far from the 'bad boy army' Pistons and the New York gangster Knicks."

Speaking of these two teams, Barkley still recalled the glorious years. The past when these two teams tortured him and even Jordan to the point of being unrecognizable is still vivid in his mind.

Another commentator, Kenny Smith, was a little worried: "Roy is still too thin. Can his strength adapt to this kind of intense confrontation? I see that Coach K's expression shows that he is well prepared."

"This is a confrontation between men. If he can't adapt, he will have no way to survive in the NBA. This is a test he must go through. If he can't adapt, he will be eliminated." Barkley said calmly.

In the minds of the older generation of basketball players, especially the inside players, they have always felt that the physical fight is a fight for every inch of land.

Every game is like a large wrestling scene.

What a qualified inside player should do: use weight, waist strength, singles, rebounding, confrontation, blocking shots, and use the buttocks to block the inside line to meet strong impacts...

Roy, who fell, did not retreat but immediately got up from the ground.

The more such a game, the more you cannot be timid. Once you admit your weakness, the game will be unplayable.

USC served the ball from the baseline, with 4 seconds left in the attack time.

McInnis threw the ball high The ball was passed to Roy at the top of the arc.

Time was running out, Roy took a step inside with the ball, faced Sheldon Williams' defense, and relied on his height and wingspan to force a jump shot.

Duke University's Sheldon Williams and the assisting Luol Deng both rushed towards Roy at the same time.

The two of them completely blocked Roy's sight with their hands.

Coach K slightly raised his mouth. This was the tactic he prepared for Roy today.

Using Sheldon Williams's tonnage and Luol Deng's flexibility, they double-teamed Roy who was holding the ball.

The two teamed up to strangle Roy, the engine of USC.

The opening was also carefully designed by K. He pushed him to show his power, and then used double defense to hit Roy's self-confidence.

Everything seemed to be executed perfectly. He was confident that he would give the opponent's trump card the most severe blow in the first half.

Roy's seemingly hasty shot was actually aimed at the basket., Ray Allen's soft natural touch, coupled with his years of training results,

In the air of the confrontation, he still maintained a perfect hand shape, and the basketball flew out steadily,

"Shua" In the stunned eyes of Coach K, he ignored the two players who threw themselves on his face and hit the team's first goal steadily.

2-0

"It's unreasonable. This difficult goal reminds me of Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady. It makes no sense to shoot, but it can go in. To be honest, I think Duke is in big trouble today."

Kenny Smith shook his head.

Barkley was a little disapproving: "I admit that Roy is very strong, but the ball just now was very lucky. If Duke still defends with this intensity, I think USC will be in trouble today."

The dispute between the two did not affect the cheers of the fans in the stands.

Roy calmly retreated to his own half of the court to defend, as if the ball just now was just a trivial shot.

Duke University attacked, Chris Duhon dribbled across half court,

Redick passed through the double screen of Sheldon Williams and Luol Deng to the three-point position in the bottom corner, and Duhon quickly hit the ground and passed the ball,

In a fleeting opportunity, Redick received the ball and turned to jump shot, and the basketball hit the basket accurately in one go.

"Three points!"

2 to 3

As expected of this year's NCAA scoring champion, Redick raised his neck to provoke Roy with a three-pointer in his hand,

Duke University's system, these people have been running-in for two seasons, and they are too familiar with each other. Every step is strictly calculated, as precise as clockwork.

McInnis was so angry that he slammed the ball on the ground and started to serve,

In the next round, he decided to stay close to Redick, the bastard,

It's not because he can't keep up, but because Redick pushed him when he started, causing him to be unable to keep up.

Roy signaled his point guard to keep the rhythm steady.

Williams of the opponent followed closely, and he signaled his teammates to change tactics and change to his own off-ball style.

Roy ran back to receive the ball through tactics.

Sheldon Williams and Luol Deng double-teamed him as expected after receiving the ball.

Fortunately, before the encirclement was formed, Roy made a ground pass from behind to deceive everyone, and McGinnis cut into the basket from the baseline.

He received Roy's pass and scored a layup!

4 to 3

Kenny Smith nodded with satisfaction in the commentary booth: "Roy showed us his ability to read the game. This double-team is a double-edged sword. The only way to crack him is to quickly transfer the ball until the opponent reveals a flaw."

Originally, he was worried that Roy would continue to play singles and fall into the opponent's trap. Now it seems that Roy's basketball IQ is far beyond everyone's expectations.

Duke University was not affected and continued to attack as planned. Redick's running position attracted the attention of everyone in USC.

When everyone thought he would shoot a three-pointer after receiving the ball,

Redick made a strong pass, and the unguarded Luol Deng cut in and dunked.

The two sides went back and forth, and Duke University took the initiative on the court through the tacit cooperation of the players.

Old K's defensive strategy against Roy did not seem to work.

USC still moved forward step by step under his leadership.

The scores of both sides rose steadily. At the end of the half, relying on Roy's three-pointer after the pick-and-roll,

they took a five-point lead of 48:43.

The situation on the court seemed to be under the control of USC,

but was it really the case?

Barkley in the commentary booth has seen that something is wrong:

"I understand that Coach K's tactics are based on Jordan's rules.

He uses high-intensity defense to make Roy attack with more difficult moves in uncomfortable areas, while cutting off his connection with his teammates.

When Roy is exhausted on the offensive end, his teammates with cold hands can't provide more help."

In order to deal with Jordan, almost everyone in the NBA team knew how to do it, and of course the best was the Pistons.

Barkley was attacked by dead memories again, and pointed out Coach K's purpose through his memories.

Duke University is different from USC. Duke University's inside players can be replaced, and they have more players.

Even if they are not as strong as the starters, the gap is not far.

Unlike USC, if there is no Roy, it would be two teams.

This is an open conspiracy. Either Roy is consumed and others are allowed to attack, or the score is widened. There is basically no solution.
