Chapter 24: Fight against the obscene University of Kentucky!
On the field, the University of Kentucky offensive possessions.
The first three-point shot was missed. Gerald Fitch was afraid of Chris Paul's defense and did not waste any more time. He played a screen pick-and-roll tactic with Hayes who was pulled out.
Senior Hayes has been studied thoroughly. He did not shoot and was ignored directly without changing defense. At the same time, Chris Ellick stepped forward to make a mistake.
Off the court, NBA scouts located in every corner of the court began to write down draft information on player information: Chuck Hayes still can't shoot.
"Basketball at the University of Kentucky is too mechanized. Every player on the court is part of the team and can only be responsible for that part. It seems that the division of labor is clear, but this is college basketball, which obliterates the individuality of the players.
I don’t like this Wildcats team now, really…”
"Chuck, a player, averaged 25 points and 19 rebounds per game in his senior year of high school. By his senior year in college, he couldn't even shoot. What has he practiced in the past four years?"
no one knows.
The pick-and-roll tactic requires a mid-range shooting threat to open up space. Hayes does not have one, so it can only be regarded as a cover tactic.
Chris Paul has good speed and awareness, and through the delay of his teammates, he can keep up with Gerald Fitch.
There was no opportunity for a breakthrough attack. Kentucky's offense was not anxious and patiently distributed the basketball to the wings.
"Kelanna Azubuike caught the ball. This scorer who once averaged 38 points per game in high school has lost his sharpness. The moment he caught the ball, he hesitated. Was he observing the position of his teammates?
?”
At the same time, he was still observing Su Bei's defensive position, and then, he moved.
He did not choose to take a three-point shot, but started, accelerated, and broke through inside...
Northern Jiangsu fights and retreats at the same time.
Although Azubuike was lost very quickly in the NBA later, we have still heard of him. Like the 2022 Xuebu, he is also a strong scoring master on the offensive end.
Su Bei used retreat to advance, and assisted teammates who had defended, forming a situation of using more to defend but less.
Azubuike didn't take the shot himself. In Su Bei's panicked look, he passed the basketball to the right.
At this time, Hayes rushed into the penalty area at some point and used his butt to get into position. After catching the ball, he used his ugly shooting posture to hit the board and hit two points steadily.
3 to 4!!
"This Wildcat team doesn't need superstars, because they are all superstars, and whoever has an offensive opportunity will pass it to him to take action.
It's hard for Wake Forest to stop this kind of offense.
After two rounds, the score of the University of Kentucky is not determined by the offensive ability of the players, but by the basketball quality of the team..."
Hayes' offense was poor, but he still became Kentucky's top finisher in this round. This is outrageous.
Outside the court, Prosser stood on the sidelines and frowned.
He is not only worried about the problem of the University of Kentucky's offensive attack, he is also worried about the full-court press tactics used by the University of Kentucky in the defensive round.
"Here we go, the moment Gerald Fitch caught the ball from Chris Paul, he immediately stepped forward to entangle him.
The game had just started, and the full-court press tactics were launched. It seems that the University of Kentucky attaches great importance to the Wake Forest team and used its special skills to entertain..."
"In 1997, 1998, and 1999, with this set of tactics, the University of Kentucky won two championships and one runner-up in three years of dominance, which laid the foundation for the Wildcats' tactical system for the next 10 years."
"The offense is all-powerful, the defense is pressing all over the court, and the bench is deep. These two magic weapons are the key to the University of Kentucky's victory."
"Now let's see how Chris Paul, the star of Wake Forest University, this super backcourt will break the game..."
Chris Paul has ball-handling skills, strong body, and is really not afraid of the full-court press.
For Su Bei and other players, the situation is a bit worse.
Subei's C-level off-the-ball movement, under the watchful eye of Azubuike, a fast and agile defender, could not find any offensive opportunities. Even with the cover of teammates, it would still be swept away by Hayes and missed.
fill a vacancy.
This is not about martial ethics.
As a prestigious school, the players recruited by the University of Kentucky must be the same batch of star high school students in high school. They are better than Wake Forest University in talent. The current group of players who enter the University of Kentucky are willing to serve as engineers to defend.
, Needless to say, they are still very good. No wonder the University of Kentucky Wildcats have such a high winning rate and have won so many games.
Seeing that there was no opportunity to attack from the outside, Chris Paul swung the basketball inside.
At this time, Eric Williams caught the ball, and the player guarding him was not Randolph Morris, but Chuck Hayes.
Although Chris Paul knows that Hayes' defense is very strong, and guarding Eric Williams alone is likely to be a bait released by the University of Kentucky.
but……
What if Eric Williams succeeds.
Hayes' defense is very strong, that's because he didn't encounter Eric Williams.
That’s absolutely what Paul said!
"Eric Williams squeezed with his back but didn't move. Chuck Hayes seemed to be motionless. His strength advantage was too great.
Eric turned around forcefully. He was 2.08 meters tall and 1.98 meters tall. His height advantage of 10 centimeters looked very tempting.
Chuck was very stable at the bottom of the court. He jumped in front of Eric and interfered with Eric's turnaround jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
Eric Williams was a little unstable under the confrontation, but he still chose to force the shot. He wanted to prove himself in front of a prestigious basketball university.
Hayes didn't like him, so he hit the ball hard and missed.
Chuck Hayes quickly turned around completely, locked his position, and easily grabbed the rebound.
The ball was quickly passed to Gerald Fitch, but was copied by Chris Paul. When he was pressed, the ball was immediately passed to Joe Crawford.
Other Wildcat players also switch from defense to offense very quickly. After all, Hayes is the center and the three backcourt players are not tall.
In the frontcourt, Wake Forest retreated quickly.
Joe Crawford's breakthrough was blocked by Justin Gray.

The basketball was given to Azubuike, who had just broken through and created an offensive opportunity. He then forced his way through Su Bei and entered the inside. After attracting the attention of Wake Forest University's defense, Azubuike passed the ball to Hayes.
This was a very good opportunity. When Wake Forest pounced to cover up the defense, Hayes passed the basketball to Joe Crawford who cut into the penalty area like a relay. He attacked the basket from close range and sent the basketball in.
In the basket.
3 to 6!!
"It's another style of work that works slowly and carefully. Every attack will not end with the first attack, but one after another, constantly accumulating advantages, and then the rest will come naturally.
"
"The basketball tactics of the University of Kentucky may seem messy, but they are all inseparable from rebounding, passing, assists, defense, offense, and physical fitness..."
"Anyway, this is a kind of academic thinking.
They will never compare their scores in a single subject with you, but their total scores in multiple subjects. Even if you fail in one subject, you will always lag behind them in the final total score.
Under normal circumstances, you can't even compare to them in a single subject. In this case, you can only lie flat..."
On the field, Wake Forest offensive possessions.
Another full-court press, Su Bei scored the first three-pointer, but was closely monitored by Azubuike, who continued to play soy sauce during the offense.
In this round, Chris Paul, as a super defender, was not easy to mess with. He continuously used gorgeous dribbling changes to break through from Gerald Fitch, causing consecutive defensive fouls by the opponent and giving him the opportunity to go to the free throw line and make free throws.
.
Swish——!
Swish——!
Two free throws were made. Chris Paul finished the free throw and then pressed Gerald Fitch, almost causing the opponent's mistake.
"The University of Kentucky wants to play as a team and accumulate victory advantages bit by bit.
Chris Paul used his superstar personal abilities to break through the University of Kentucky's blockade.
Now it depends on what Chris Paul can do."
Next, the game entered an anxious state. The University of Kentucky continued its team advantage tactics, while Chris Paul carried the team forward on his own.
