Chapter 57 [Gap]
Throw the ball out, then exhale that breath after landing, and the feeling of relief is often accompanied by goals.
When Wang Jun returned to defense, he was very excited to recall Jeff Hornersek's words. This tone was extremely critical. Even if someone came to make up for defense from the side, he could take action calmly without distraction.
Wisconsin attacked and the ball was passed to power forward Robert Simon.
Like the Spartans' choice on the court, they also regarded Wang Jun as a defensive loophole, believing that the reason why he went to defend the low post was that the coach did not want to expose his weaknesses and wanted Kaman to make better defense.
Simon pulled to catch the ball near the three-point line, so it would be difficult for Kaman to make up for defense.
Wang Jun went out to guard and turned close to Simon when he received the ball.
Simon can make a jump shot, but someone in front of him is difficult to grasp the rhythm. He passed the ball from Wang Jun's head and gave Charles, who was relying on screen to break through in the middle.
Charles sprinted straight after receiving the ball, but his goal was still a dunk.
Kaman let go of his defender and made up for defense at the basket.
The oldest brother and the younger brother have met!
The soldier has been separated for three days and looks at each other with admiration.
Charles performed well last season against the Wolverines because both sides played fast breaks. This year, the Wolverines maintained a good defensive formation. Kaman also improved compared to last season. He was faster after losing weight and jumped higher.
Charles changed direction three steps, jumped high, and wanted to slash with one hand, Kaman jumped up under the basket, and pressed the basketball with his right hand accurately near the basket.
The two of them had different powers at all. Carman yelled and covered Charles with the ball to the ground.
The fans exclaimed together, and the referee's whistle was in his mouth, hesitated for a moment and did not blow it.
This move was very big, but he clearly saw that Kaman did not commit a foul and was covered in the basketball.
Wang Jun picked up the basketball and passed it to Luke, who immediately launched a fast attack. Bobby ran very fast in the middle, and fought three against two in the frontcourt.
Simon followed Bobby, who was facing him. Bobby transferred the ball to the right after receiving the free throw line. Devin Harris followed Luke, and Wang Jun was empty.
Charles was not injured by being covered, but sat on the ground and shouted a foul at the referee, but the referee ignored him.
Wang Jun scored a three-pointer with 60 degrees on the right, and the arc of the ball was perfect, hollow into the net! The Wolverines led 6-0.
Wang Jun returned to the penalty area and hit Kaman, and the two formed an "anti-Charles" alliance.
In the Wolverines' table, everyone stood up and applauded, including Larry Powell, who was disliked by Wang Jun at the time.
Now, Powell no longer considers starting the game. In four years of college, he cannot get the team to break out of the top ten leagues, and Wang Jun is likely to do it. And now the whole team believes that Wang Jun may play in the NBA, and he is a person that all celebrities are optimistic about.
Wisconsin attacked and the ball was passed to Simon. He weighed only 91 kilograms, but he was actually a small forward. Simon leaned against Wang Jun after receiving the ball, and forced himself to turn to the left and failed.
Simon's characteristic is that he can pull out and shoot, play taller inside lines than himself in a misalignment, and break through with his technical frame.
Wang Jun often fights speed defenders in the team, not afraid of players like him who are "unlimited" in speed and confrontation, and the height gap can also be made up with his arm span.
Simon forced his hand to pull out after facing the frame, and missed under Wang Jun's interference, and the rebound was obtained by Kaman.
"Defend that Chinese man and don't let him take action." Sandner shouted on the sidelines. He found that Wang Jun was in great threat.
After several passes, Wang Jun from the bottom corner suddenly ran back. Carman and Bobby provided him with no ball cover in the middle to block Charles.
Wang Jun got rid of the defender and tangled out of the three-point line, turned around and received a pass from Harris from the side, but center Jackson did not come out.
Without defense for three seconds, most NCAA centers are used to staying in the penalty area to defend and are unwilling to dive outside the three-point line.
The focus of modern basketball is shifting to the outside, and the days when the center only stays at the basket are gone.
Wang Jun is not as accurate as the right side in the middle lane. He practices a lot and does not miss the chance to make a chance.
Wang Jun didn't want to enter or not, just to ensure his posture. Devin Harris jumped up to the block on the side, and slowly, the ball flew to the basket before his hand reached Wang Jun's hand. It was useless to jump very high.
The ball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced into it, 9 to 0. Wang Jun scored three three-pointers in a row.
The University of Wisconsin paid the price for their underestimation, and made the same mistake as the Spartans. The inside line did not come out of the penalty area, and regarded Carman as the number one defensive target.
David raised his hands to cheer on the sidelines. Wang Jun did better than hoped. His role was no longer limited to attracting defense, but the team's number one scorer on the outside.
In just four months, he made great progress.
The home audience cheered the home team loudly and shouted Charles' name. He was not as good as Harris on the court, but because he was able to dunk the ball, he was the most popular player in the team.
Charles disappointed the fans, and he fought Bobby with one-on-one and took a quick jump shot, and the ball missed the basket again.
Wang Jun began to be strictly guarded and chose to pass the ball to his teammates. Luke had a good chance and made a jump shot missed.
Wisconsin made adjustments to prevent Wang Jun and Kaman from taking action, and the two sides began to stalemate, and the others were not shooting efficiently. Wisconsin's offense mainly relies on fast attacks, and Harris passed two consecutively for the sixth shot, breaking through and layups.
Kaman immediately scored a strong attack after the pick-and-roll, and then scored with a color of 11 to 2.
The two teams have different styles. Wisconsin players can run as fast as they can, showing their vitality. The Wolverines are like a group of veterans, as slow as they can, passing the ball back and forth on the court, returning to defend immediately regardless of whether they make a shot or not, almost using up to 35 seconds of an offense.
The positional battle against Wisconsin players did not feel good, and they couldn't get in. The audience who wanted to watch the dunk were very depressed.
After Simon received the ball and missed the jump shot, several student spectators in the back row began to be dissatisfied.
"I'm so slow, why don't I run?"
"Steps the ball off and fight back."
"Strengthen the breakthrough, what happened to the two defenders today?"
A fat white man next to them suddenly said: "If you want to win, they shouldn't speed up, they should slow down, and rely on pick-and-roll to find opportunities on the outside. The Wolverines are just average in the rotation conversion position and pick-and-roll defense."
"What do you know about this ball blind? Charles will definitely defeat them." A female fan glared at the fat man, who was Charles' supporter.
The fat man was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "If the whole game is played like this, the home team will definitely lose."
"Who are you? You said it's certain?"
"Don't say anything if you don't understand the ball! Charles is a genius!"
The people around were unhappy, so the fat man hurriedly shut up.
His name is Steve Joel, and he is a scout for the Detroit Pistons. His vision is not comparable to that of ordinary fans.
He saw that the Wolverines were targeting Wisconsin players to break through and lay out defenses. In order to prevent fast attacks, ensure the regional defense also reduced the number of rounds and prevent the center from entering the basket from attacking hard.
It is stupid to insist on playing fast break at this time, and the success rate should be guaranteed. However, outside players also hit the basket again and again, and mid- and long-distance shooting also creates opportunities through personal abilities.
