Chapter 4: The Enigmatic Missouri (Part 2)
Chapter 4: Unfathomable Missouri (Central)
Mark Wei, the first-year striker who was defending the first-year striker in other positions, was able to stand out among aristocratic giants like Kentucky (Wildcats) to firmly hold the main position, which shows Mark Wei's skill. In fact, Mark Wei is indeed a very famous player. In high school, he was a superstar comparable to Duke's current Mai Robert, and is also a McDonald's high school All-Star player in the United States. His scoring ability was among the top among all high school stars at that time. Although Mai Robert won the MVP of the high school All-Star, it is still unknown which of the two is stronger. When Anthony played against Mark Wei, he did not despise him because his opponent was a first-year rookie.
Mario's opponent is second-year shooting guard Aimal, Kentucky's best fixed-point pitcher. His three-point shooting accuracy is comparable to that of Rydick, but he is inferior to Rydick in his ability to create opportunities by relying on running positions.
Chen Junhao's opponent seems to be the most inconspicuous one. The fourth-grade point guard Brunson, shooting, passing and breaking through, did not reach the top level. The average of 10 points, 4.4 assists per game in the past year also shows that he is not the kind of star player who can turn the tide and save the team from danger. However, since the second grade, he has always occupied the main point guard position in Kentucky. Perhaps his stable performance and reasonable ball handling ability are the most important reason why he can hold the main position for a long time. Although it is not
The top breakthrough ability can still break into the inside line under the pick-and-roll of his teammates; although he is not a top passer expert, most of the time the basketball can always pass to a reasonable position to ensure smooth tactics; although he is not a first-class scoring player, most of the time when the opportunity comes out and must score, he can still seize the opportunity. Such a player may be a standard "role player" and "blue-collar star". Chen Junhao gave such an opponent considerable respect.
Brunson did not try to break through Chen Junhao alone. After watching the video of Missouri's game against Maryland yesterday, he knew very well how he was facing a master of defense. Aimal was pick-and-roll at a high position, Brunson cut inward along the three-point line, Chen Junhao, Mario and Anthony replaced defense - Chen Junhao defended Aimal, Mario retreated to the inside, and Anthony from the inside came out to defend Brunson who broke into the inside.
Very beautiful transfer and assisting defense! The style of a first-class NCAA team.
However, Kentucky's offense was at its top level. "Swoosh!" Brunson passed the ball when he encountered a barrier, and the basketball passed back to the outside line. Aimal received the ball but did not shoot. Before Chen Junhao blocked, he passed the ball straight to the three-point line on the left corner of the court. A figure flashed there, and a red figure caught the ball (Kentucky's uniform was red), turned around and jumped "Swoosh!" The basketball lifted a high arc and crossed Kaman's finger, who was blocking the ball out of the penalty area, and "Swish!" into the net.
Three-pointer!
The shot was a first-year forward, Mark Wei.
Mario, who switched and assisted defense with Anthony, blocked Moyes' inside pick-and-roll. Carman moved his defense from the inside to the outside after all. After all, even if he caught up, there was a defensive gap behind him. Mark Wei passed the ball against the ball and adjusted it to the inside line, and Moyes could complete the shooting more easily.
Kentucky's offense is brilliant. Large-scale pass mobilization, active pick-and-roll cooperation, and reasonable tactical running have already made Chen Junhao understand why Kentucky became a favorite for the championship. What surprised him secretly was: Judging from the offensive cooperation just now, Markway's offensive priority seems to be above the team's ace Moyes. This judgment does not absolutely stand the reason, but the natural keen intuition as a player: if Missouri takes Moyes as the core of heavy defense, he may suffer a loss.
Offense and defense were transferred, Missouri's offense. Chen Junhao dribbled the ball, Anthony and Carman cut into Kentucky's defensive lineup in a straight line, Mario and Pierce swam inside and outside to prepare to meet Chen Junhao.
Brunson came up.
Passing? Outside pick-and-roll breakthrough?
"Bang, bang" The basketball's crotch changed twice. The shaking figure seemed to sway left and right with the wind and then suddenly "Bang!" The basketball was raised high, and Brunson's eyes were blowing with strong wind. The defending object seemed to have suddenly started the sports car and flew away from him, before he could make any reaction.
The opponent's sudden breakthrough caused chaos in Kentucky's inside line. Moyes ran over to fill the position and suppressed Chen Junhao and had to move to the left, but he suddenly "bang" the basketball bounced up, and behind him, "Boom!" Mike Kaman dunked with thunderous hands!
"Boom!" A thunderous cheer in the stadium quickly rose in the stadium. "Goooooooooooooooo...oal!" The commentator raised his fists and cheered loudly.
This is nothing more than lightning!
The first type of breakthrough: super instantaneous explosive power, instantly getting rid of the opponent!
The offense and defense were transferred, Kentucky's offense, Brunson dribbled the ball and encountered Chen Junhao's block, and the two confronted each other at the three-point line. Brunson couldn't help but want to find the field back with a quick breakthrough like the opponent. "Bang, bang" dribble two times, and his body swayed left and right to make a breakthrough to look for opportunities. Unfortunately, his opponent was unmoved, and Chen Junhao stood there like a rock without any reaction.
The opponent's calm response turned out to be a little panicked, and the dribble changes made him a little stagnant and the rhythm was slightly chaotic.
That's now!
Chen Junhao's still figure suddenly burst out, and he instantly accelerated his right hand and rushed towards the basketball in Brunson's left hand. The two of them intertwined. "Bang!" With another dribbling sound, the basketball had already arrived in Chen Junhao's hands.
Intercept the ball!
"Papapapa..." Amid the rapid dribbling sound, the figure with the ball was flying like a whirlwind, throwing the opponent who was chasing without the ball far behind.
"Bang!" He stepped on the free throw line again, and the ball started, and the body that rushed forward was also jumping high in the air. The huge inertia flew forward with the jumping body!
Flying up!
It seemed as if the goshawks soaring in the air were hovering down at the earth, and the basketball was held high and stagnant in the air; it was like a bomber diving and throwing bombs, "Boom!" The basket trembled violently, the rebound moaned in pain, and the basketball smashed into the basket heavily. The figure hanging on the basket swayed back and forth twice before landing on the ground lightly.
Dunk!
There was a silence in the stadium, and suddenly "boom..." The huge cheers were deep as if the surging waves were coming towards us. Thunder and tsunami collapsed and the ground was broken, and the two commentators' shouts of shouting were completely forgotten.
“Beautiful job!”
"marvelous!"
“Gooooooal!”
...
The Missouri player on the court rushed over, and Anthony and Kaman hugged Chen Junhao's neck excitedly.
Score 4:3!
After a long cheer and cheer, the game had to continue to start. Missouri returned to the defensive position and Kentucky was preparing to attack. Kentucky ace player Moyes patted his point guard Brunson on the shoulder and said, "Don't take it seriously, the game has just begun!"
"I know!" Brunson nodded, but his expression was still gloomy.
Moyes stopped talking and ran towards Missouri's position.
Kentucky still passes quickly and runs quickly. The five players skillfully cooperate to create opportunities. The scoring players catch the ball in an all-time situation. This time, Moyes received the ball. The ball was Moyes. The ball was on the penalty area line and the assisting defense Kaman quickly retreated and got stuck in the penalty area.
Turn around, hook your hand, "Bang, swish!" Moyes' moves are straightforward and concise and practical!
Beautiful counterattack!
The offense and defense have changed positions again, and it is Chen Junhao's dribbling again, this time the double team is double-teaming!
Mario's opponent Aimal assisted Brunson to double-team Chen Junhao, and Mark Wei, who was defending the inside, moved slightly outward. Chen Junhao's smile flashed in his eyes, "Swoosh!" After the basketball was passed to Mario who came to pick up, he immediately turned around and cut in, raised his right hand, "Swoosh!" The basketball broke through the air, and Mario passed the ball back.
The second type of breakthrough is to use teammates' assistance. (Pick-and-roll cooperation also belongs to this category.)
He received the ball with his right hand in the direction of the basket, "Bang!" and then dribbled with a slight leap, turning around, and swung 180 degrees to rub Markwei's shoulders. Markwei moved horizontally and spread his arms to block, "Swoosh!" The basketball in the crowd had already emerged and flew towards the basket.
Shooting?
No!
Suddenly, a man emerged from the pile of people under the basket, and grabbed the flying basketball in the air and smashed it into the basket.
Or a dunk!
Anthony! Missouri's ace forward, the first scorer! When did he run there? Markvey watched Anthony fall from the basket first feel not frustrated but shocked: Why is he there? He can't understand. Just now when he was making up for the defense of Chen Junhao, Anthony was clearly outside the right penalty area, in the control area of teammate Charleman.
The sudden stop changed direction, suddenly turned around and slipped into the bottom line, received the ball and dunked, which was the whole process of Anthony's goal. Not only Mark Wei didn't understand, but even his Missouri teammates wouldn't understand how Anthony knew why Jack understood his mind and how he passed the ball just right.
This is the tacit understanding of the master!
6:5, the situation where the three major Missouri masters lead the game is obvious.
...
The game continued, and Kentucky could always find an opportunity to shoot in an open space with excellent tactical qualities. "Bang!" Aimal's three-pointer from the outside missed the basket. Kaman, who had the advantage of the position under the basket, grabbed the rebound.
Missouri's counterattack. Double-teamed, pass the ball? No! "Pai Papa Papa..." The rapid dribble seemed to hit the window, fine and rapid. The ball-controlled body also changed continuously. The basketball changed from behind to the left hand and pulled back to the right hand, pulled the ball back and crossed the ball. The body was constantly changing and moving, and the position under the feet was constantly moving. Suddenly, the two people who were double-teamed were pulled by Chen Junhao's movements and the two people moved inward at the same time. In the moment of flash, the basketball bounced high with a "pac", and the figure with the ball instantly flashed across Aimal's right.
Successful breakthrough!
Naturally, Kentucky's inside line was once again ravaged. This time, Carman did not get a dunk chance and shot into the net in the penalty area. For a scoring power forward like Carman, there is absolutely no reason to miss the basket.
The third type of breakthrough is the most skillful ball-control skills and personal outstanding air-stagnation and direction-changing ability. This type of completely excellent personal ability is demonstrated. Both technology and quality are indispensable.
There was another shocking cheer in the natural stadium. Except for a few Kentucky fans who did not join, everyone else stood up and waved their arms to cheer. They broke through the double-team of two people at once in a purely single fight, which is not a play that can be seen frequently in the NCAA.
Chen Junhao's wonderful breakthroughs fell into the eyes of experts, but it was not as simple as applause. Rydick and Mai Robert looked solemn and said nothing, just because Wilson's simple question: "Can you guard him?"
Can you defend him? Of course not!
Who can defend against such a breakthrough?
The two of them dare not imagine it! However, the shock that Chen Junhao brought to them was not over yet.
After Kentucky succeeded in offense, it changed positions again. Chen Junhao's possession of the ball.
All the audience held their breath and focused on the player in the Eastern Hole, and saw what wonderful performance he would have this time. "Bang!" The basketball hit the ground and the ball-controlled figure suddenly seemed to have not stood firm and fell forward. The audience couldn't help but exclaim. The scream was not over yet. The staggering figure on the field had already stood firm again, but the position was already in the inside.
Successful breakthrough!
How did he do it? No one has time to recall this problem. The breakthrough has not ended yet. The Kentucky insider, who suffered several consecutive losses, has been on high alert this time. As soon as Chen Junhao broke through, Moyes and Mark Wei broke in, he quickly surrounded him, as if he wanted to block him in the inside.
Passing the ball?
In the stands, Ridick and Robert suddenly realized that Chen Junhao, who had been silent and could not feel any slight turbulence, suddenly had a smile on his lips.
Yes, he was really smiling.
"Bang, sbang, sbang!" With four dribbling sounds of uncertain speed, Chen Junhao turned around, took a step, changed hands behind his back, and was still spinning, as if he was stepping on a light waltz step, dancing with the waltz music. Then he suddenly grabbed the ball with his left hand and raised his arm, "Swish!" The barbarian hand under the basket, "Swish!" The ball entered!
It turned out that he had already brought two double-team opponents to the basket.
The two double-teamed players looked at their opponents and exchanged their gazes. They looked at each other and saw an incredible look of astonishment from each other's eyes. They were hit hard!
The fourth type of breakthrough; the steps of wearing flowers and dancing, changing as you wish, is the patent of genius players.
In the stands, Rydick and Robert: Can anyone defend his breakthrough? No one! This time the two are no longer confused. Even if there are, they will not be in this college basketball world.
Chapter completed!
