028: This is what it feels like to be a senior? (4k(2/2)
Of course, Bird didn't expect much from a player who was projected to be ranked in the second round of the draft.
He watched this game purely to kill time after get off work.
On the TV screen, the director showed Wayne's average data in the past 10 games. These numbers were as beautiful as those reported in the scouting report.
After the data, the screen showed Wayne warming up.
With just one look, Byrd realized something was wrong.
There is no way this guy is only 2.06 meters tall!
This is Bird's intuition as an MVP player and the best coach!
Looking at the veteran coach of the Cowboys, Eddie Sutton, Bird is even more convinced that Wayne is tall.
Old man Sutton, that's an old liar!
If Wayne's real height is over 2.10 meters, then this game would be really interesting.
Because Bird knew that Carlisle was particularly interested in players at the fourth position who could shoot, especially three-pointers.
So much so that this season, Carlisle even asked O'Neal Jr. to practice three-point shooting.
This Chinese student... seems to suit Carlisle's taste.
No wonder he sends text messages to let himself watch the game.
As the referee's whistle came from the TV, the game officially began.
Bird stared at the TV intently, hoping to get some surprises.
As soon as the Cowboys players got the ball first, they could clearly feel the toughness of their opponents on the defensive end.
This toughness is completely different from the previous 10 games.
The Longhorns players really planned to risk their lives against the Cowboys, and they seemed to be playing this game as a real final.
Wayne looked at Tucker in front of him, "Good guy, with this figure, he doesn't look like a freshman brother."
Although his face is much greener, he is really quite big and he already looks like he will be in the NBA in the future.
He has been pestering Wayne all the time. Now, no team in the Big 12 League dares to underestimate Wayne's threat.
Therefore, the Longhorns also deployed many defensive strategies for Wayne.
Tucker's close-fitting pressing is the first step.
At this time, John Lucas passed the ball to Tony Allen. Teacher Tony looked at Wayne and then at the basket, still undecided whether to pass the ball or go it alone.
He did not forget Wayne's request for more action.
At this time, Wayne suddenly ran outside the three-point line and set up a screen for Tony Allen.
But Tucker was not deceived. He knew that if he switched defense rashly, Wayne would get an open three-pointer.
Therefore, Tucker always stayed in front of Wayne.
Sure enough, Tony Aru passed the ball back to Wayne after breaking through.
Tucker raised one hand high and interfered with the basketball with the other. His defense was impeccable!
But even when pressed by Tucker, Wayne still pulled up and shot.
"This..." Bird laughed. This guy's shot selection is too poor. Who else can score such an extremely pretentious shot besides himself?
"brush!"
The basketball hit the net, 3-0. Wayne took the lead for the Cowboys and gave Bird the answer!
As Wayne had predicted before, under the influence of a series of factors such as height, wingspan, shooting action and shooting package effect, Tucker has no way to effectively interfere!
On the first serve, Wayne hit the red heart regardless of defense!
Tucker was stunned. He thought his defense had been done very well.
However, Wayne's shooting was still calm and he made empty hits.
For Tucker, who is known for his defensive skills, it was almost humiliating to be fucked in the face as soon as he started.
Wayne looked at the confused Tucker and spread his hands: "Welcome to the Big 12 League, rookie, this ball is free."
After Wayne finished speaking, he actively began to retreat.
It feels so good, so good, I feel it!
No wonder there are so many people in the NBA who like to bully rookies, because it’s so fun!
Moreover, today's goal was really easy to score, and Tucker was completely helpless about it.
Chapter completed!
