046: I'm sorry, I didn't see you
Paul must admit that this Big 12 Championship team is not just a show.
It is not unreasonable that the Associated Press ranked them sixth in the country.
In Paul's opinion, the Cowboys' defense is ranked among all the teams participating in the March Crazy Championship.
Tony Allen and Graham are both very strong defensive wings.
Well, of course, we can't forget the Chinese who guarded the restricted area.
His presence made Wake Forest forced several times today to choose to shoot from the outside.
The score is now 30 to 30, but Paul is not in a hurry.
He has the most experience in this kind of anxious game.
To put it bluntly, whoever can grit his teeth and persevere until the end will be the winner when his strength is not much different!
Paul believes that in the second half, the Cowboys guys who have never fought a strong battle will sooner or later collapse under high pressure!
Wayne stepped into the court with a serious look on his face. Although this was not the first time Sutton handed him over his important tasks, carrying the entire team on his shoulders still made Wayne nervous.
"Don't worry, Wayne, leave it to me on the defensive end." At this time, Tony Allen gently touched Wayne's arm with his fist.
Although I really want to teach Paul a lesson, Tony is not the type who can get the ball when he gets it hot.
He always puts team victory first, even if it requires him to make sacrifices.
Wayne nodded slightly, the sweet top 16 goal of the Russian Double Young Master has not yet been completed.
Besides, this is Tony Allen's hometown, and it can be regarded as half of the Cowboys' home court.
Even if you want to lose, you can't lose here.
Thinking of Tony blocking in front, Wayne felt much more at ease.
At the beginning of the second half, Lucas carefully controlled the ball through the half. At this time, the other four of the Cowboys also made complicated running without the ball.
Paul bit Tony Allen like a mad dog, and he was quite satisfied with his defensive performance in the first half.
In the whole first half, he only allowed Tony to score 4 points on 2 of 7 shots. Before that, no one could have defended Tony Allen like this.
This time, when Tony reached the middle distance, Paul thought he was going to catch the ball again.
As a result, Tony just flashed by and took away the defense. Lucas saw the opportunity and passed the ball out.
The target is not Tony, but Wayne!
"Wei held the ball at mid-range, do he need to be a support point?"
The live commentator already knows Wayne very well. Generally speaking, if Wayne holds the ball at a high mid-range distance, his tactical role is equivalent to a "command tower".
Wayne leaned on Elis with his back, then slowly turned around to the face frame.
"It's useless!" Paul continued to follow Tony, thinking that Wayne wanted to pass the ball to his teammate who cut into the basket.
As a result, Wayne, who was in the middle distance, suddenly pulled up without warning and threw himself in!
No passing, no luck.
Wayne just pushed Ellis in front of him and chose to take action.
Ellis didn't expect Wayne to shoot directly, so the interference was a step slower.
When he remembered to disturb Wayne again, it was too late.
"brush!"
Basketball is hollowed out into the net, without any fancy fake moves, and without a head-on breakthrough.
It was just a simple but not simple shot that allowed Wayne to lead the Cowboys.
"Good ball, Wei's shooting point is very high. Many people know that Wei is one of the players with the most blocks this season, but at the same time, he is also the player with the lowest blocking rate.
His moves and height and wingspan made the risk of covering him almost become a luxury.”
Wayne waved his arm, and it was indeed very relaxed!
During the halftime break, Sutton hoped that Wayne could play more of Ellis.
Ellis is 2.08 meters tall and his wingspan is far inferior to Wayne.
With Wayne's ability, his defense should not pose too much threat.
So Sutton pushed Wayne to the top scoring point!
Sutton's judgment is correct, Ellis' defense does not cause too much trouble to Wayne.
Wayne's goal reminded many Wake Forest fans of Tim Duncan.
This steady, simple, mid-range jump shot with a height and wingspan against defense is so similar to Duncan!
Paul did not blame Elis this time because in his opinion there was no big problem with Elis' defense.
Wayne can enter one like this, but can he keep entering this way?
So after just one round, Paul, who did not believe in evil, became stupid.
Because Wayne scored another goal.
This time, Wayne asked for the ball at the low post. Everyone thought Wayne would play singles on his back, but he slowly held the ball towards the basket again.
Wayne also wants to play singles on his back. The key is that he is now attacking at a low post, and his strength and weight are really hard to describe...
Compared to back-on, Wayne is now better at face frame attacks.
Facing the basket and facing the hand that Ellis reached in front of him, Wayne chose to pull it out again!
Alice reacted immediately this time and tried her best to get enough of the basketball in Wayne's hands.
But the straight-arm shooting move was really hard to block. Wayne successfully scored in the second consecutive round!
"Ellis, go to fight, fight!" Paul was anxious now. He couldn't let Wayne score as he pleased.
Since it cannot be disturbed, then go up to the elbow and foot!
This is the law of survival of Brother Pao’s stadium.
Ellis looked innocent and went to fight. Wouldn't it be a foul if he went to fight?
Not every time I can escape by chance like you, just like you.
Wayne's two goals can be said to be quite classical.
This is a trick that most traditional insiders use.
In the past, Wayne gave people the impression that he was accurate in three-point shooting, strong organizational ability, fast movement, and fierce blocking. He was an alternative all-round forward.
But in these two rounds, Wayne showed people his stable mid-range shooting skills.
In this regard, he is really similar to his compatriot Yao Ming.
Yao Ming is in the NBA and often shoots at mid-range and low posts, and makes a move when he shoots.
Although Wayne has not deliberately added the CNY attribute, his CNY scored 72 as soon as he came out.
Since I can't get too many opportunities outside the three-point line in this game today, I'll show my strength at the middle distance!
After Paul finished yelling at Ellis, he wanted to respond immediately, but Tony Allen did not let him get what he wanted.
This time, Paul was entangled by Teacher Tony just after halftime, which had a bit of "Death Entanglement 1.0".
No matter how he changes direction or rhythm, Tony Allen stays by Paul's side all the time.
Tony, who devoted himself to defense, is so terrifying.
He had handed over all the scoring matters to Wayne, and Wayne completed the task perfectly.
Therefore, Tony is not willing to fall behind, and he has to complete his mission well.
Under Tony Allen's desperate battle, Paul had to pass the ball to Ellis.
At this time, there were only 5 seconds left before the end of the offensive round, and Ellis was the scapegoat.
The pot fell from the sky, what else can I do? Just invest!
But unfortunately, Ellis' mid-range shot did not hit as steadily as Wayne, but was shot back directly by Wayne.
So, Wayne's shooting just now seemed simple, but it wasn't simple either.
Simple, because it is an extremely basic offensive method.
But it's not simple, the person who is shooting cannot be covered or interfered with.
Wake Forest fans were surprised to find that Wayne seemed to be very consistent with the nickname "Big Basics".
From blocking to scoring, Wayne's moves are very simple, but they are also very effective.
Wei. If you want to be fancy and have no ability, you can only rely on basic skills. Hum.
With a block, it means there is a counterattack.
Lucas grabbed the basketball that was blocked by Wayne and advanced at full speed!
Paul followed closely behind, and his knee has not been seriously injured yet, but he can use a chase at any time.
Therefore, Lucas did not take the risk under Paul's pursuit, but after breaking to the basket, he passed the ball back to Wayne who followed up.
Wayne stopped suddenly at mid-range, held the ball with both hands, bent his knees slightly, as if he wanted to shoot again!
Alice didn't dare to hesitate this time and threw himself out.
But Wayne was waiting for this time.
After Ellis jumped up, Wayne quickly took the ball back and dribbled through!
Although there is only 32 ball control ability at present, this kind of ball is the foundation of the basics for professional players.
It can be completed without strong ball control capabilities.
Wayne's fake shot was really good and he suddenly broke the match, went straight into the penalty area, and dunked with both hands!
Just as he was about to dunk the ball into the basket, Wayne realized that the cannon brother who had just chased Lucas in and had not had time to withdraw.
"this......"
"boom!"
"Wow, Wayne completed the dunk through Chris Paul. With a beautiful goal, Way made Ellis play around."
"This is definitely the most shameful scene that Paul has ever experienced in his college career. He was suppressed by the giant from Russia so much that he could not raise his head at all!"
All the Cowboys fans stood up and Wayne directly knocked Paul out of the bottom line!
If the opponent is a star, don’t care whether he is 183 or 213, as long as the dunk is halted, it will be enough to make the fans cheer.
After Wayne landed, he looked at Paul who was knocked out of the bottom line.
Paul looked at Wayne with a resentful look, as if saying, "How can you do it!"
Wayne didn't mean to bully Paul, but he didn't notice Paul was standing under the basket just now...
After all, when Wayne was about to dunk, he must look up at the basket and would not look down.
It was not until he felt that he bumped into something that Wayne discovered Paul's existence.
This closure was purely an accident.
Although a player of 1.83 meters is blocked at a height of 2.11 meters, there seems to be nothing to brag about.
But looking at the excited look of fans and teammates, Wayne still felt... very happy!
The floor flow also has the day when others are locked!
It turns out that the buckle feels like this!
Love it, love it.
"Sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't see you below." Wayne waved his hand at Paul embarrassedly.
However, this caused Paul 10,000 points of damage.
"Is it amazing to grow tall? Damn, bastard!"
Paul yelled in his heart, using his anger to cover up his scars.
As soon as the second half came, Wayne played Wake Forest 6-0.
After that, Wake Forest spot guard Justin Gray missed a three-pointer after receiving Paul's pass.
Wayne took the rebound and immediately followed the attack.
As expected, Ellis listened to Paul's words and was very rough in defense against Wayne, and he even pulled Wayne's jersey directly.
But Wayne did not surrender. This time he took the initiative to lean forward when shooting, leaving Ellis nowhere to hide and was forced to invade Wayne's body.
Although the ball did not go in, the referee rang the whistle.
Wayne has to make a free throw twice in defensive foul!
When it comes to fouls, players of this era are still too young.
Wayne stood on the free throw line, and the NCAA's free throw rule is 1+1.
That is, after the first free throw is hit, there is a chance to execute the second free throw. If the first free throw is not hit, both sides can immediately start fighting for rebounds.
But free throws were not a problem for Wayne.
He scored 8 points in a row with two free throws!
The head coach of the Devil Deacons immediately called for a stop to the game, which meant that Wayne's attack directly stopped the opponent!
Nonsense, seeing the score difference go in the double digits, can you not pause?
Old Sutton knew he could trust Wayne.
And Old Sutton confidently believed that Wake Forest could not find a solution.
Even if you call a pause, it will be of no use.
Because there is no player in Wake Forest who can match Wayne at all.
That person named Ellis has no way to use Wayne's central shot!
Although he is already a sophomore, Wayne's potential... is far from being discovered.
His mid-range end and his ball-holding offensive ability are still very likely.
Sutton couldn't help but sigh. After Wayne left the team, his men had lost a nuclear weapon!
David Stern, who was watching the live broadcast of the game in the office, nodded with relief.
You can't make a superstar by just being praised, you have to have something on your own.
Wayne undoubtedly responded to Stern's vigorous publicity today with his strong strength.
Positive attitude, undeveloped technology, great possibility...
Stern didn't know what the general managers of each team thought, but they shouldn't be stupid.
The suspension ended, and Paul, who had just been dunked, returned to the court with a dark face.
Chapter completed!
