NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 21 The Strongest Spear and Shield

“Of course, boss! No problem!”

Without hesitation, Wang Song gave a positive answer.

The reason why he agreed so readily is because he is very clear about the team’s current predicament.

The assist defense strategy in the first half obviously did not have much impact on Carmelo Anthony, who is now in a hot hand.

His condition is getting better and better, and he has begun to adapt to the rhythm of assist defense.

Syracuse University’s offense will not stop for a while.

So the North Carolina Wolf Pack has only two feasible options to win.

The first is to continue the magic bombardment and suppress the opponent from the offensive firepower.

But the shortcomings of this approach have been highlighted at the beginning of the game. Focusing on the offensive end can only keep the game deadlocked until the last moment.

Once Carmelo Anthony goes crazy, Syracuse University is likely to win with one blow…

This plan is too risky.

The second is the switch defense proposed by assistant coach Jim.

Let the North Carolina Wolfpack’s most stable shield deal with the Syracuse University Orange’s strongest spear.

When Syracuse University loses their offensive core, it will be defeated.

······

Back to the game.

Both sides have made adjustments to their lineups.

The North Carolina Wolfpack has increased the height of the lineup and strengthened the protection of the restricted area.

This will make Wang Song more comfortable when facing Anthony.

On the Syracuse University side, the inside players have also made adjustments.

The exposed Hakeem Warrick left the main lineup and sat on the bench.

A white center was replaced.

Jim Boeheim’s intention was also very clear. It seemed that he was going to concentrate the ball rights on Carmelo Anthony.

He pinned Syracuse University’s hopes of victory on this top pick candidate.

And this was naturally what Carmelo Anthony wanted.

Which NCAA player doesn’t want to get unlimited firing rights granted by the head coach?

Just as Anthony was looking at the North Carolina Wolf Pack players who were on the court, wanting to see who would be the next victim…

Wang Song stood in front of him.

Carmelo Anthony!

The NCAA super forward was stunned.

The scouts in the stands were also stunned.

The domestic fans who saw this scene through the text broadcast were also dumbfounded.

Bai Yang looked at the dead silence of the bullet screen, and once wondered if he was offline. He subconsciously looked at the broadband connection logo in the lower right corner.

“Nothing wrong?”

After refreshing the webpage, Bai Yang was sure that he was not offline.

The bullet screen like a mountain torrent rushed to his face.

——【Ah? Lost their minds? 】

——【The North Carolina Wolfpack might as well tie a dog to the coaching bench, and it might be better than Herb Sendek coaching. 】

——【No! It doesn’t make sense, why! Carmelo Anthony does have explosive scoring ability, but what’s the matter with this weird matchup? 】

——【Wang Song is not used in this way, why not convert his tactical position into offense, let him wreak havoc in the restricted area, isn’t it better to use him to defend Anthony? 】

In addition to the large number of doubts, there are also a small number of fans who agree with the decision of the North Carolina Wolfpack.

But they were soon drowned in question marks.

After all, the offensive means that Carmelo Anthony showed when facing the center were already seen by these fans in the first half.

Anthony can always make the Wolfpack’s inside defenders go around in circles through superb three-threat.

So there is basically no optimistic voice.

······

In the stands.

The orange ocean has already started the early carnival.

And the small group of North Carolina Wolf Pack fans.

They looked at the game on the court, with a hint of worry in their expectant eyes.

···

In the VIP box.

“Ernie, who do you think will have the advantage in this matchup?”

Scott Layden’s eager eyes looking at the game field have exposed his thoughts.

Nothing is more valuable than seeing the competition between the two teams’ hottest players.

“Of course it’s Carmelo Anthony!”

Grunfeld answered without hesitation, and paused to find that the boss’s expression did not change. Then he added:

“Of course, I think not only Wang Song, but even the top defenders in the league now may not be able to do anything with him. His gorgeous offense reminds me of Kobe Bryant.”

Scott Layden shook his head and raised his hand holding the red wine glass.

He stood up and pointed to the scoreboard.

“I have the exact opposite opinion from you. Remember Carmelo Anthony’s score data now. It will be fixed in the next game.”

Grunfeld began to lose his composure after hearing this.

He glanced at his boss’s red wine glass and shook his head.

If it weren’t for the fact that the other party was the president of the Knicks and his immediate boss, he would have wanted to ask Scott Layden.

Is he drunk?

······

Back to the game on the court.

The tit-for-tat confrontation has begun.

The other players were also very tactful and opened up enough space for the two to play 1-on-1.

Syracuse University Orange Team No. 15 vs. North Carolina Wolf Pack Team No. 9.

Carmelo Anthony held the ball outside the arc three-point line and made a tentative step to try to force the opponent back.

But Wang Song had no intention of retreating. Instead, he kept staring at the opponent’s hips and center of gravity to adjust his defensive position.

As long as the opponent is ready to shoot, he can use his height to interfere with the opponent.

[Reasonable defensive position judgment, stable experience value +100]

···

Seeing that the threat of shooting was grasped by the opponent, Anthony had to give up in the face of tight defense.

Helpless.

Carmelo Anthony began to seek offensive opportunities with the ball, and started to rush to the right corner with the ball.

Coming to the right wing, suddenly, Anthony suddenly exerted force to lean on Wang Song with his shoulder, using his large weight advantage to squeeze the latter away, and then retreated to jump shot.

Flowing offensive rhythm!

But before the Syracuse University coach standing on the sidelines smiled.

The situation on the court suddenly changed.

Wang Song was indeed squeezed out of position.

But in the short moment when the opponent adjusted his shot, he had adjusted his center of gravity and rushed over.

The 99 sports attribute allows Wang Song to have the mobility comparable to that of a small guard despite the height of a center.

Especially this Nuwa model, he doesn’t even need to jump in front of Anthony, he just needs to raise his hands.

The opponent can’t see the basket at all.

Seeing the sudden situation, Anthony, who jumped up, could only force a shot against the defender. Except that it didn’t get blocked…

The ball was ridiculously off.

“Air… ball!”

The MC on the scene was shocked to see this air ball and his speech speed was a little abnormal.

“It’s unbelievable… Cameron actually missed the shot at such a close distance. It should be that his hand slipped a little.”

Hearing the forced explanation of the on-site commentator, Herb Sendek, who was standing in front of the North Carolina Wolf Pack, wanted to laugh.

On the court.

The North Carolina Wolf Pack quickly switched offense and attacked the basket, causing the opponent to foul.
