Chapter 54 Black Five Minutes
"Just from one offense and defense, you can see how much impact Noah's departure has on the Gators, but they don't dare to let Noah appear too early."
"The next period without Noah will be the most difficult period for them. If you hold on, you will still have a chance. If you fail to hold on, a year's hard work will disappear in these five minutes." Kenneth Smith showed his superb skills.
His level and ability to judge the situation on the court were accurate.
"Haha! Although what Kenny said makes sense, I want to say that the tyrant will accept this game regardless of whether Noah is present or not. Taking Noah off the field is just to facilitate the performance of his teammates.".
"The No. 1 King" Barkley has an enchanting confidence in Wang Hao.
"Although I don't want to admit it, Wang can really change the direction of the game. He doesn't want to make his teammates regretful, so he paved the way for his teammates. How he performs next depends on his teammates.".
Reggie Miller also agreed with Barkley's point of view, or it could be said that Wang Hao's strength has almost conquered the recently retired superstar.
If Wang Hao heard this, he would definitely laugh in his heart. In the conscience of heaven and earth, he, Wang Hao, is not so selfless.
The Gators, who were trailing by ten points, were already at a critical point. If no one stepped up to score for the team at this time, the game might really go away.
The Gators attacked and through a series of off-ball moves, Wang Hao was finally blocked. Horford went to the outside and got a three-point opportunity.
Horford made a three-point shot without hesitation, and he took the knife with his hand and scored three points for the Gators, chasing the point difference to 7 points and regaining a lot of blood.
Watching Horford score, Wang Hao fell into thinking again.
"It seems that everyone who becomes a star is not simple. The most intuitive thing is to dare to carry the team on his shoulders.".
In addition to Aldridge, Wang Hao is impressed by Horford again.
"But that's it. This is my home court."
Wang Hao wiped away any "sympathy" in his heart, and a terrible light burst out from his eyes.
"Farmar, I'm going to go all out next, this is our home court." He whispered to Farmar, turned around and ran to the frontcourt.
"Didn't you agree that it's time for me to show off next time?".
"The boss of the team, I can't afford to offend him, I can't afford to offend him." He felt contemptuous, but still passed the ball to Wang Hao.
Bang! Bang! After two consecutive collisions, Wang Hao turned back, leaned back, raised one foot slightly, and threw the ball.
"Wow! Which German softie's shooting method is this?" The shocked Barkley urgently needed his partners around him to give him an answer, but it was obvious that his two partners were also shocked and speechless.
That's right, it's the golden rooster independence of the veteran driver.
"Is this Dirk's technique?" Yao Ming, who came to watch the game, asked Kobe in shock.
"Didn't you see it? Dirk is your master, you should be more familiar with it than me, right? But I didn't expect that this kid would dare to use it after just one day of practice, and he could really make it." Kobe said with some envy.
.The tone is clearly that after so many years of hitting dogs, people can practice a unique skill in a day.
Yao Ming didn't pay attention to Kobe's tone, but focused on the second half of his sentence.
"You mean he practiced for just one day?".
"Yes, to be precise, I taught him the skills and essentials the night before yesterday, practiced at home all day yesterday, and used them today." Kobe, who kept talking without surprising words, made a big revelation this time.
"It's not like Dirk taught me." Yao Ming muttered in a low voice and continued to watch the game, as if he had made up his mind.
The Gators' offense was no longer as smooth and confident as it was at the beginning.
Horford was restricted by Wang Hao, and Jones used his weight to squeeze Chris Richard out of the basket. Unfortunately, the Gators' offense could only be handed over to Tao Lin Green and Brewer.
Tao Lin Green's advantage over other point guards is useless under Farmar's defense. The two are the same type of point guards, but unfortunately Farmar is much better than him.
As for Brewer, although he is very fast and can jump very high, his shortcomings of lack of strength are infinitely magnified when he plays against Russell Paul. When he is squeezed, his catching movements are deformed, and he is crushed after receiving the ball.
I can't even straighten my waist, so it's just that fast.
In the end, the attack ended with Tao Lin Green's strong shot, and Wang Hao happily collected a rebound.
Wang Hao, who had just passed the midline, received Farmar's pass.
Horford reluctantly stepped forward to defend. At this moment, Horford was resisting, but he had to come.
Fortunately, the Gators' coach frantically shouted for a double-team on the sidelines. Chris Richard on the inside "accidentally" gave up his opponent and came out to double-team Wang Hao.
In the middle of the run, Wang Hao made a through ball like a cannonball and passed the ball to Jones under the basket. Facing the empty basket, Jones was of course not polite. He directly dunked with both hands and gave the ball to Jones.
Wang Hao added an assist to his statistics.
"Horford and Chris Richard looked at each other in the air, as if they were studying who would take the blame," Barkley said with a smirk.
Kenny Smith: “…”.
Reggie Miller: "…".
The Gators coach off the field was also madly spewing incomprehensible trash talk.
The score between the two sides was 23:12, and the Bruins established another 11-point lead.
The stubborn alligator did not call a timeout and the game continued.
Perhaps he had been really thinking about how to take the blame, but the absent-minded Chris Richard failed to catch the ball, and the ball was intercepted directly by Wang Hao, who had quick eyes and quick hands.
Instead of handing the ball to Farmar, Wang Hao chose a solo fast break.
He started under his own basket and by the time he reached the three-point line, there was no one in front of Wang Hao.
Wang Hao from outside the three-point line directly chased and shot a three-pointer. Whoops!!! The ball was scored. The score was 26::12.
Gators coach Billy Donovan finally gave up and called a timeout.
"I need your aggression, aggressiveness, don't be like a softie in the last few balls from the opponent. We have worked hard for a season, and this game is when we reap the rewards. Next, let me see your wolfishness.
, your blood, I don’t want those Bruins guys to have an easy goal, understand?” Coach Donovan roared loudly to his players.
The Gators, who kept their heads down and said nothing, were in sharp contrast to the Bruins, who were laughing and talking.
"Well done, keep up this defense, come on guys." Coach Haoland's Buddhist style was in sharp contrast to Donovan's anger.
"But I don't have to say anything more. We have won 11 NCAA championships, but they have only reached the finals once before. I believe you won't let those upstarts show off their power in front of us, right?" Although it is a Buddhist system, but
Coach Haoland still reminded him, and the meaning was obvious, "I want to win."
The timeout ended with one and a half minutes left in the first half. In theory, the Gators had two offensive opportunities while the Bruins only had one.
But theory cannot represent reality.
Speaking of Horford, who was supporting in the high post, he missed the ball and was knocked away by Wang Hao's long arm. Wang Hao grabbed the basketball and rushed out crazily. He scored another fast break three-pointer from outside the three-point line.
Seeing this scene, Coach Donovan held his head in pain.
