At the end of the third quarter, the score gap was barely within ten. Duke finally failed to achieve the goal of expanding the advantage and deciding the game in one fell swoop. With a nine-point gap, the result of the game is still hard to say with one quarter and ten minutes left. Missouri has enough time to reverse the situation.

The Duke players who returned from the court all had their faces ashen, with the obvious words "Indignation" on their faces. The past ten minutes of the quarter were just over. Five Duke players on the court called the referee a foul on Chen Junhao, and without exception, the "false foul".

Seeing his opponent jumping in front of him and making a shooting posture, he still jumped up in the air to stop him under conditioning reflex. At the critical moment, I still remember "can't fall into his foul trap", but it's over, "Bang!" A crisp sound of the basketball flew high, and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

A foul by a thug!

In one quarter, five people gave Chen Junhao eleven free throws, and Chen Junhao also sent the free throws into the basket without exception.

Damn it! Duke and the players were all so angry that they hated each other. Although they widened the gap to nine points, everyone felt that they were the ones who failed. At least in the match against Chen Junhao, all Duke's players lost. Even though they knew that the opponent was taking the initiative to find a foul, they still had no way to avoid it and dodge it. Duke's players were angry at Chen Junhao's rogue methods and also angry at his incompetence.

On the other side of the court, Chen Junhao's face was pale. He didn't have any price to cheat so many fouls. Several times of the opponent secretly made a ruthless move and took a heavy slap on Chen Junhao's wrist. Although he was so serious that he would not have any injuries, pain was inevitable. At this moment, Chen Junhao, who was back on the court, was not allowed to apply an ice pack to the right hand of the shooting.

Damn, these bastards! Chen Junhao was also secretly cursing the group of guys wearing blue team uniforms on the opposite side.

They complained to each other through the stadium.

Unfortunately, the reporter cannot capture the psychology of both sides, otherwise it will be another excellent news.

This short rest time is very precious to both sides. The coaches of both sides seized the opportunity to arrange tactics, and the main players seized the time to rest. At this point in the game, both sides were trapped in a stalemate, and no one dared to take the lead in removing the main players from the rest.

By the third quarter, neither team found an effective way to deal with the offenses of the opponents, and Duke missed an excellent opportunity to open the score. In the remaining fourth quarter, no one dared to replace the main player first. Missouri did not dare because the Trident was their hope of turning defeat into victory. Duke did not dare because no one could guarantee whether the substitution on his side would give Missouri a chance to resurrect the Trident. Against Trident and Missouri's normal level of offense, Duke also could not find an effective way to contain it.

In short, the defense of both teams is not good. Once the opponent is widened, the coaches of both teams are not sure that their team can definitely win back.

The opponent is really strong! The coaches of the two teams sighed at the same time. Duke's old K sighed, and he could hardly believe that Missouri, who was already in that dilemma, could still tightly embellish his team all the way without being pulled away. This was simply a miracle. Old K's eyes couldn't help but float to the opposite court and landed on Chen Junhao.

In the past quarter, Missouri scored 18 points, 11 of which were obtained by Chen Junhao's free throws, four points were shots, and other three-pointers were also constantly related to him. It can be said that in the past quarter, Missouri was the one who supported him to move forward alone.

A magical and terrifying guy. Coach K is proud of his 20-year coaching career and has also seen many talented superstars, but what shocked him so much is that this Chinese defender is still the number one.

Was Jordan so powerful back then?

Lao K secretly compared himself to the young king Jordan. There was no answer. Lao K no longer remembers what Jordan performed before he became famous with one goal. After all, he was not the coach of North Carolina at that time.

Perhaps he is even more powerful than Jordan back then! At least two months after coming to the United States, he has made most college basketball fans remember this name.

Just after Lao K was in a daze, the rest time had ended. Fortunately, Lao K had already instructed the tactics that should be explained.

Players from both sides reappeared.

Chen Junhao pulled off the ice pack applied to his arm and moved his wrist. He felt quite good. "How about it, you're not injured, are you?" Anthony's greeting.

"No!" Chen Junhao smiled faintly and asked, "Where are you? Do you still feel that bad?"

Anthony twisted his waist and said, "How can I know if I don't try it? Pass the ball to me."

"And I!" Kaman hugged his head with both hands and made a chest-expanding action. "Your personal show is over, and now it's our turn to perform."

Chen Junhao smiled and said, "I hope so, otherwise there will be no chance for you to perform. What would the newspaper say after the game like that? The Chinese defender turned the tide and saved Missouri from the fire and fire. As for your newspaper, you may give an evaluation of "mediocre and inaction."

Kaman laughed: "It's less stinky, it's better to have a 'savior Mike Kaman'."

Anthony touched his chin and pretended to be honest and insulted: "It's better to ride the Lord Anthony alone to save the Lord. What do you think?"

"Tsk!" The answer is two high-rise middle fingers.

The three of them exchanged gazes with each other, and suddenly burst into laughter. Mario looked on the left and on the right, and finally asked timidly: "You three bosses have never thought that maybe we will lose in this game?"

"Damn!" The three thunderbolts knocked Mario's head at the same time, making him run away with his head in his arms.

"How could we lose!" The three of them spoke in unison. From the beginning of the game to the present, Trident had never had the idea of ​​"possibly lose" in their hearts, and even in the most difficult times, they had never been there.

Mario hugged his head and made aggrieved decision: "I just..." The next half sentence swallowed it back under the murderous gaze of the three of them.

Victory must be victorious, and no other result will be accepted except victory. This is what Mario read from the eyes of the three.

The Duke players who appeared on the court also had a firm expression. Their eyes also flashed with a strong desire to win. Of course, there were other things. For example, Robert, his eyes were always staring at Chen Junhao. In the third quarter just now, Chen Junhao earned three free throws from him. Now he has suffered four fouls.

The game begins. Duke's offensive opportunity. Mariano dribbles the ball, Wilson and Nash cut into the inside, Robert and Rydick interspersed in the inside and outside, and the orthodox Duke's offensive tactics. There is no change from the previous game.

What changes is Missouri's defensive tactics. Insiders Carman, Pierce, and Anthony pull out their positions, and Chen Junhao and Carman are also more outward. The entire Missouri defensive lineup is five players distributed in the three-point line, with an extremely loose lineup, and the whole lineup is like opening the door to greet the thieves.

For a team like Duke who is good at interspersing and pick-and-roll opportunities, such a loose lineup should be their favorite. But in fact, they quickly noticed something wrong. Mariano dribbled the ball and encountered a pressing force, and after getting his teammates picked-and-roll, he cut into the inside, and the flat road ahead went straight to the basket. Is it a pass? It's an offense? Mariano, who has always been very calm and calm, he hesitated at this time. This situation is something he has never encountered before.

Mariano stopped involuntarily while hesitating. Missouri seemed to have discovered a loophole in defense at this time. Chen Junhao ran over to fill the position, but seeing how his steps were "not too slow or too busy".

Mariano secretly made up his mind: No matter what the opponent's trick is, as long as the ball is sent into the basket, he will win. "Paipa..." As the sound of dribbling, Mariano dribbled the ball and approached Chen Junhao to try to break through. Of course, he could not break through Chen Junhao, but Mariano had to pass the ball. Chen Junhao followed closely like a shadow, "Swoosh!" The basketball in Mariano's hand suddenly flashed a white light and flew to the inside. Wilson jumped high and received the ball with one hand, landed on both feet to face Kaman's defense and jumped into one-handed throw.

"Bang!" Suddenly, one hand flew out from behind and knocked the basketball in the air and blocked the shot!

Anthony!

The flying basketball hit the rebound and bounced up, giving Carman the first to grab it in his arms. Carman immediately passed the ball to Chen Junhao, and Missouri launched a counterattack.

Duke players retreated rapidly, and Nash and Mariano's return speed was really amazing. Chen Junhao, who dribbled the ball, was not as fast as the two of them, could only slow down and organize the attack patiently.

Missouri's strange defensive tactics seem surprisingly good.

Let’s take a look at Missouri’s counterattack first. After the Missouri players quickly entered the attacking position, Chen Junhao moved. He shook, accelerated, and rushed to pass the ball. "Bang!" The basketball bounced back towards Mario. After passing the ball, Chen Junhao rushed through the double team and rushed into the inside.

Mario did not do any dribbling after receiving the ball, throwing the ball high with both hands. A figure in the inside flashed and Chen Junhao jumped high, and grabbed the ball in the air with one hand. Seeing this, Duke's inside players suddenly surrounded him. Before Chen Junhao's feet landed, three people surrounded him.

In the air, Chen Junhao's smile suddenly flashed across his face, and the right hand that was catching the ball suddenly swung out, and the basketball turned back in the air and flew out of the penalty area.

A figure flashed outside the penalty area, Anthony appeared there, catching the ball, raising his hand, shooting, and rushing over to the Duke inside trio surrounding Chen Junhao, which could only watch the basketball fly over his head and fall into the basket.

"Yeah!" Chen Junhao, Mario and Anthony celebrated with high fives, "Beautiful job!"

这一球最关键的是马里奥,关键在于他在刹那间领会陈俊豪的心思,传出空中接力的一记妙球,这一球最精彩的在于陈俊豪,空中折返的接力传球,最利落的是安东尼,“唰”一声破网声永远是最动听的音乐.

This ball is the perfect match for Missouri.

This ball marks the return of Missouri Trident. Although Mario is not a Trident player, it can represent more universal meaning: Missouri's state is back.

Old K, who had been holding his arms outside the court, couldn't help but sigh secretly at this time: Duke may be in a difficult situation again in this game.

As the offense and defense changed positions, Missouri put out the lineup of opening the door and calling for thieves. The loose defense makes people wonder if Missouri has given up on defense at all. Seeing such a lineup, Old K frowned even more.

"Swoosh, swosh, swosh..." Duke's pass can easily be interspersed back and forth in the Missouri line. Every Duke player who catches the ball can have the opportunity to shoot without the cooperation of pick-and-roll.

Do you still use a useless pick-and-roll?

How can you give up such a good opportunity? Robert took the lead and he was sure that he could hit the ball when he jumped up, but the confidence he was gone at the moment of his attack. A step further away from the defenseman suddenly rushed up and raised his hands to cover the cover. Although he was one step slower, he made a cover action after all. Moreover, he raised his hands high and did not reach the height of the cover because he was too hasty. He not to look at the basketball but to Robert's face, to be precise, his eyes.

A pair of big hands suddenly became bigger in his sight and rushed towards his eyes. No one could be unaffected. The moment he took action, Robert's wrist trembled slightly. "Bang!" The basketball fell on the basket and bounced high and failed to enter.

The cheers of Missouri fans disappeared immediately before they could sound. Wilson grabbed the rebound, and Carman and Pierce quickly passed out before double-teaming.

Outside the penalty area, Reidick received the ball. Before he was about to make a shooting move, Mario rushed over from the opposite side, rubbing his body and rushing over like a rugby game. Reidick dribbled the ball and let it go to the side. The two figures intertwined Mario rushed over, and the open space behind him was naturally made up. This slightly delayed Missouri's defense line returned to the beginning, and the five people were loosely distributed in the circle of the three-point line.

The most taboo thing for pitchers is a collision foul. It can be said that Rydick's dodging is completely a subconscious action.

Duke reorganized the attack. A step ahead of Rydick was Chen Junhao, who looked at Rydick without making any pressing moves outside of the step. He seemed not to care about Rydick's sudden shot, but seemed to be able to pounce on the block in an instant. "Ba, Ba" Rydick was knowledgeable about dribbling back, and Chen Junhao followed up and followed, while the distance was still one step away.

The basketball is controlled by Rydick. He can pass the ball to his teammates and create opportunities after cooperation, or he can directly shoot and take action before Chen Junhao blocks.

Rydick has always been very confident in his shots.

He took action.

He took back the basketball like lightning, raised the ball above his head like lightning, jumped up and "swoosh!", everything was so fast that it was a bit unreal.

Chen Junhao, who was defending, had no reaction at all. The basketball passed over his head and turned around immediately, spread his arms to block Ridick behind him, and was ready to grab a rebound.

"Bang!" The basketball fell on the basket and bounced high. This time, the rebound was grabbed by Anthony.

This time it was a missed Rydick.

Is it accidental that the three absolute main players of Duke missed three consecutive shots?

Old K raised his brows and immediately made a gesture to pause. "Flute!" Duke requested a pause.

It’s not by chance that Old K’s reaction gives the best explanation. All this comes from Missouri’s strange defensive tactics and Smith’s work.

Not every five players on Duke's court has Rydick's lightning shooting speed and always stable shooting percentage. Not every one has Wilson's power under the basket, and not everyone is as flexible as Robert... Duke's players have a strong personality. They have distinct personalities, and their advantages and weaknesses are also obvious. The reason why Duke's basketball team can be so strong is because Lao K's tactics combine the advantages of these players and minimize the impact of these players' weaknesses.

Minimization does not completely disappear. Duke still leaves Missouri with loopholes. Until now, Smith finally found a little trick to deal with Duke's offense. And the rest time after the third quarter, Smith focused on adjusting defensive tactics.

The essence of the entire adjustment is to give up part of it and strengthen the other part. Everyone strictly follows the response strategy formulated by Smith. The loose defensive lineup seems to be full of loopholes, but it is just right to deal with Duke occasionally. Because it is loose, the area is large. Duke always has Missouri's defenseman staring at the position one step away from the player. The distance of this step is not enough to block the player's sudden shot, but Duke's players are always psychologically deterrent.

Among Duke's scoring players, Reidick, Robert and Mariano are all pitchers. The most important thing for pitchers is to maintain psychological stability. Reidick is the most representative of his shooting speed and accuracy, but he is only a college student player after all. His psychological quality is far from being mature. A one-step distance is not enough to threaten his shooting driving, but when Mario rushed over without hesitation, he still dodged. This is the deterrent effect.

When Chen Junhao appeared at the same distance, his psychological deterrence just now began to take effect. Even a little bit of it may affect his smoothness when he took action.

For Rick, Missouri gave up the blocking, gave up pressing, gave up double-teaming, and simply attacked and affected his mentality. This is a clever psychological tactic that directly attacked his psychological bottom line.
Chapter completed!
