Chapter 25 Super long distance three points
Emperor Wu knew very well that using the same move twice in a row was the limit. The so-called "no matters" were only three, and using it the third time would definitely be slapped in the face. Moreover, it is difficult to quickly narrow the score gap by relying solely on breakthroughs. University of Southern California needs to use some faster methods, such as three-pointers, which Emperor Wu is also good at.
This time Gibson passed the midfield and picked and rolled Wu Huang. After using the cover to break through, the latter did not enter the three-point line at all. He stopped two steps away from the three-point line and shot.
The University of Pittsburgh was completely unexpected and had no defense at all.
"Swish!" At such a long distance, the basketball thrown by Emperor Wu hit the target as accurately as a guided missile.
Under 20 points in the first half, USC needs the savior to stand up. Who is the savior?
Wu Huang announced with this ball that he would take the lead!
Starting from 4 minutes and 20 seconds left in the first half, in just 110 seconds, Wu Huang scored 4 three-pointers from outside the three-point line, or even three steps away, and hit 3 of them!
At first glance, the University of Pittsburgh's 20-point advantage is very stable, but in more than one minute, Wu Huang narrowed the gap to 11 points. Dixon had no choice but to request a timeout and had to try to curb the No. 14.
After the game restarted, the players from the University of Pittsburgh were already frightened. After missed the attack again, Wu Huang used the double cover to pretend to take action. Fields "rubbed" and jumped over. But he didn't expect that Wu Huang didn't even want to shoot this time, just to hit the ball.
"Dou!" The referee decisively ordered Fields to make a foul, and USC got two free throws.
The cheers of fans at the scene became weak and unheard. Wu Huang was in great shape today. After hitting two free throws, the score narrowed to 9 points!
The University of Pittsburgh was in trouble. Even if Emperor Wu moved his attack distance to the NBA, he would have to be one step away from the three-point line. Such an attack was really unreasonable.
But Freud knew very well that no matter how reasonable they were, they would be 30 points behind. No matter what method he used, as long as he could score, it would be the most reasonable now.
In the last five minutes of the first half, Wu Huang took 7 moves from two steps in the three-point line. This crazy ultra-long three-pointer did not get crazy blackshots. Wu Huang's shooting percentage of 4 of 7 shots hurt the University of Pittsburgh. The home fans were also stunned. They had never practiced the tactic of defending such a long three-pointer, and for a while, they were a little out of hand.
At the end of the half, the score was 30:42. USC narrowed the gap in the score to 11 points with Wu Huang's crazy three-pointer. They still have to play in the second half.
"Do you know how many points you scored?" Gibson asked Wu Huang as soon as he returned to the locker room after halftime.
Emperor Wu was stunned by the question and turned to look at assistant coach Andy.
Andy didn't need to look at the data record at all, and said directly: "Hugo, you hit 5 three-pointers in the first half, two mid-range games, one layup and four free throws, and a total of 25 points."
DeRozan looked envious and jealous in the corner. Emperor Wu's performance in the last few minutes of the first half was too crazy. This three-point attack made him feel a little excited. During that time, the University of Southern California scored an 18:7 attack wave and moved back 11 points in one breath.
If they were given two more minutes in the first half, USC would likely use this opportunity to narrow the gap to within ten.
"Well done, the opponent will make adjustments in the second half. We can't win the game with such a gambling attack." Floyd glanced at DeRozan and almost sent the kid on the court. But it's not enough now. Give him some pressure and wait for a game or two. It should be almost done.
In the second half, the University of Pittsburgh did not make arrangements for Wu Huang's extremely long-distance three-pointers. As long as he is not close to the three-point line, he will not double-team. If you have the ability, you will shoot us two or three steps away from the three-point line.
Wu Huangxin said you are really good, knowing that I don’t have that ability.
His performance at the end of the first half was purely a form of luck and touch. No matter how good his shooting talent was, he would not be so accurate in a game, otherwise everyone would not have to play, just watch him shoot a long three-pointer.
Wu Huang took two consecutive three-point shootings in the second half. Although Fields did not have much impact on him, Wu Huang still failed to throw the ball in, and his character seemed to have been used up.
The "feel" thing comes and goes without a trace, and it can be shot when it gets hot, and it doesn't even make a layup when it gets cold, which is elusive.
As a sharpshooter, Wu Huang has a deep understanding of the quality of his shooting feel. The biggest influence is the defensive ability of the counterattack players and his own physical strength, and the second is the morale of the team. Other factors have less impact on the feel.
Whether the counterattack player is a defensive black hole or a defensive player is a prerequisite that directly affects the shooting feel; secondly, the player's own physical strength and confrontation ability. If the physical strength and confrontation ability are insufficient, the shooting sight will 100% fall to grandma's house; finally, there is the influence of morale, which is a bit metaphysical. When a team's morale is greatly boosted, the team's three-point shooting rate will often increase significantly. At this time, the player will enter a state of excitement. The person's subconscious is addicted to this feeling like he is drugs. In order to maintain this feeling, the body can instinctively mobilize the deep memories of the body, so the shooting rate is extremely high.
Wu Huang’s opponent is Fields at 178cm, which looks easy to bully, but in fact there are benefits and disadvantages.
If the University of Pittsburgh hits people and guards, Wu Huang is confident that he can score 40 points on the opponent's head in one game, but he rarely hits people and watches in NCAA games. College players lack talent, and sometimes they have to rely on tactics, collective and discipline to make up for it. This is no different from the European League.
"Too strong!" Emperor Wu was almost bouncing away by Sam Young again. He passed the basketball to Edmund in a thrilling way, but the latter missed the mid-range shot. After the University of Pittsburgh grabbed the rebound, he immediately made a quick counterattack.
Dejuan Blair finally caused the latter to foul in a head-on match with Gibson and got two free throws.
At the 13th minute and 30th second in the second half, the score was 37:52, and the University of Pittsburgh made two free throws, and the score difference was widened again.
"How to fight this?" Wu Huang and Floyd both scratched their heads. They couldn't withstand the defensive end and failed to hit the ball on the offensive end. What else can they do?
Wu Huang looked at his backcourt teammates and sighed in his heart. Today, he faced double-teams much better than in the previous games, and his touch was hotter, but at least five or six free chances he passed, Nathan and Edmund did not make a shot, wasting his pass.
The characteristics of these two people are good at fast attacks and cutting, and the mid-range shots are very unstable. The players at the University of Pittsburgh move very fast. Strictly speaking, they do not have a center at all, so they have a very strict view of their own back paths. It is difficult for these two people to pose a threat to cut and run.
"The opponent has obvious height defects. If there is a tall inside or an excellent outside shooter, I will easily get the ball." Wu Huang shook his head. He had no suitable passing target in this game and played very frustratedly.
USC replaced Wu Huang two minutes later, and the score gap had reached 19 points. Floyd did not change him in this game.
Chapter completed!
