P. J. Tucker touched his face. Why did it feel hot and wet?

Oh, it turned out to be sweat...

Tucker's mission today is very clear, which is to strangle to death the Chinese student who has become famous recently.

He is also full of confidence in this, although he is less than 2 meters tall and is considered a short insider.

But in the past 10 games, Tucker has made a name for himself with his terrifying power.

Defending a small player against a large player is not a problem for him at all. Since the start of the new season, he has already made many players in the fourth position who are taller than him suffer.

But facing Wayne today...that guy is too shameless!

Just pull it up and shoot without giving any chance for confrontation.

How can Tucker defend himself from this?

At least give me a chance to interfere, dear.

This is the first time since Tucker entered the Big 12 League that someone has prepared a "welcome ceremony" for him.

Wayne was really excited just now, so he couldn't help shouting at Tucker.

A good tactical core means that you have to give it a try occasionally.

Watching Wayne score against Tucker, Bird became even more convinced of his suspicion.

Tucker couldn't even seal Wayne's face just now, which is enough to prove Wayne's height.

And Wayne's arrogance just now... I have to say that it is to Bird's liking.

Obviously he just turned on the TV to watch the game because he wanted to kill time, but now, Bird found that he was actually looking forward to the Chinese man's future performance.

There really is some kind of magic in this guy.

It's time for the Longhorns to attack, and this time Roy Ivey plans to take up the offensive banner and attack the city for the team.

But when he faced Tony Allen's defense again after a year, Ivey found that the guy in front of him was more than a little stronger!

Last season, Ivey had a lot of confidence in beating Tony. But this year, he found that he was being defended and had no room to shoot.

Tony Allen used to play one-on-one with Wayne every day. He was not simply studying with the prince.

While Wayne was growing like crazy, Tony Allen also made great progress.

Especially in 1-on-1 defense, Tony Allen is now almost the best perimeter defensive specialist in the NCAA.

Compared with last season, Ivey can basically be described as "stagnant".

He may have been strong against Tony Allen and the Cowboys last season, but not anymore.

"Crack!"

Just when Roy Ivey was at a loss, Teacher Tony stretched out his hand neatly and stole the basketball from Ivey's hand.

The gap between the two now is as big as the gap between Wayne's actual height and his registered height.

Seeing Tony Allen counterattack immediately after stealing the ball, P.J. Tucker immediately chased after him.

Needless to say, Tucker's enthusiasm is indeed not bad and he is willing to risk his life.

In a few clicks, Tucker caught up with Mr. Tony. Judging from Tucker's defensive ability, if Mr. Tony still chose to forcefully attack the frame, I'm afraid the hit rate would not be too high.

Tony Allen originally planned to force a layup against Tucker who was catching up. You know, he is also a very competitive person and is not afraid of this at all. It's over.

But after seeing Tucker's face, Teacher Tony suddenly remembered what Wayne said to himself before the game started.

Pass him more passes, pass him more passes... Now that Tucker is chasing him, isn't that a great opportunity to pass the ball to Wayne?

So, Teacher Tony turned back, flicked his arm hard, and threw the ball to the right side of the three-point line!

Wayne arrived just in time, caught the basketball, and started shooting!

"We have the ball!" As Coach Zhang shouted to himself in the stands, the basketball hit the net.

6-0, the Longhorns were stunned by Wayne's shot as soon as they came up.

"Keep an eye on Wei, keep an eye on him!" University of Texas coach Rick Barnes yelled dissatisfied on the sidelines.

As a semi-finals team in the tournament, he didn't want to see his team being hammered to the ground.

Tucker raised his arms to indicate his negligence.

But in fact, it's nothing to do with Tucker, he has already worked very hard to defend.

If Roy Ivey hadn't overestimated his ability and challenged Tony Allen to a duel, this thing wouldn't have happened.

However, Roy Ivey did not take the initiative to admit his mistake, and only let the freshman Tucker take the blame.

Tucker feels miserable, now he has to be bullied by the big brother on the opposite side, and he also has to be bullied by the big brother of his own team.

Why is it so difficult to be a newcomer?

Wayne's ability to catch and shoot really surprised Bird, he was as steady as a defender!

Few big men can shoot the ball as softly and calmly as he can.

And Bird also knows that in addition to defense, that guy Carlisle also emphasizes space.

Right now, Wayne is simply Carlisle's ideal type.

No wonder that guy Carlisle asked him to watch this game. Maybe that "NBA Jim Kelly" has been secretly paying attention to Wayne for a long time.

The game was still going on. After Roy Ivey was intercepted by Tony Allen, he became more honest in an instant.

He can obviously feel the gap between himself and Tony Allen now.

In fact, if it weren't for T.J. Ford's control last season, Ivey wouldn't have been able to get whatever he wanted from Tony.

The Cowboys are afraid of the strength of this double outside line, so they introduced Joey Graham this summer to form a super wing with Tony.

But now without Graham taking action, the Longhorns' perimeter is basically locked up.

After the basketball circled around, it fell into the hands of Tucker, who had just been shot in the face.

I saw Tucker waving to everyone after getting the ball.

Good guy, this is going to be a singles fight!

Sutton's pre-game report was indeed accurate. At this time, Tucker had only one idea after holding the ball - bombing the basket!

Damn it, this is Akron's genius style of play.

God knows what Tucker has been through, and his style of play will change so much in the future.

Bird, in front of the TV, put his chin on his hands and watched this round with concentration.

Empty space is secondary, defense is the top priority.

A player without defense is not a good player for the Pacers.

Tucker thought that Wayne would use his height advantage to come out and cover him, but he didn't know that Wayne was almost back to the free throw line.

Tucker's face is full of black lines, which makes him look down on his own shooting!

I really don’t dare to vote today...

Well, Tucker still knows.

He was not good at shooting in high school, let alone shooting at the NCAA level.

Seeing that Wayne had let him go so far, what could Tucker do? He had to bite the bullet and make a sudden move.

Who made Tucker's passing key deducted during this period?

Tucker was heading towards Wayne like a speeding car, but Wayne was not nervous at all.

Brother, I was hit by a car from China and came from the United States. How would I be afraid of you?

"Bang!" Wayne took a step sideways and stood in front of Tucker.

The 5 points of traverse speed added previously had an immediate effect.

I have to say that Tucker's style of play really looks more and more like this year's No. 1 pick.

There are also not too many fancy dribbling skills, it is also a rampant breakthrough.

But Tucker's physical talent is not on the same level as Mousse.

If the ball had been mousse, Wayne would have been knocked away.

But Tucker was blocked by Wayne, and his breakthrough speed was greatly affected.

To be honest, if Tucker changes direction in the middle and uses some ball-handling skills, he may not be able to keep up with Wayne's current defensive ability.

But there is no way, who makes Tucker a "straight man"?

Although Wayne was badly hit, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on staying in front of Tucker.

At this weight, I still have to continue to gain weight.

In the end, Tucker had no choice but to force a layup despite the huge height gap and his overly long arms without getting rid of Wayne.

The result is clear, Tucker's forced attack on the frame was not successful.
To be continued...
