Chapter 22 Sense of Crisis
"That nigger is not Hugo's opponent at all." Kloe Moretz said the word "nigger". Wu Zetian quickly stopped her and continued to speak, looking around. Fortunately, there were white people around him. He didn't react much when he heard the little girl's words, otherwise it would be a troublesome thing.
"Don't say this word out in the future." Wu Zetian has also been discriminated against for his Chinese identity in his life, otherwise his position would be much more than a second-level superintendent.
"Sorry, but that black player is far worse than Hugo." Khlo Moretz replaced the black guy with a black guy and said again.
Floyd on the court was also satisfied with Emperor Wu's performance in the first half. Kemba Walker was originally the admissions target of USC, and the priority was still above Emperor Wu, but now he is glad that Kemba Walker rejected the invitation from USC, otherwise Emperor Wu might be giving him a headache on the other side.
"I can't imagine this is your debut." Gibson stepped forward and touched Wu Huang's head. In the first half, he scored 8 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks under Wu Huang's feeding ball, and his performance was also very outstanding.
"Hugo, you scored so many points by yourself, so you have to pass a few more goals in the second half." Bart did not shoot the outside basket in the first half and only scored 5 points and 3 rebounds.
"Damn it, my hairstyle!" Emperor Wu avoided the big hands that his teammates attacked and protected his hairstyle.
Before the start of school, Emperor Wu changed his Punk hairstyle to a round inch. In fact, he was not afraid of people touching him, but he didn't like others to touch his head.
Not everyone is suitable for Wu Huang's round-inch hairstyle. This kind of short hair has very high requirements for face and head shape, because people will focus on their faces.
If Yao Ming wants to make a fuss, he will probably make his opponent laugh to death.
Wu Huang has a good face, so he is not worried about it at all. Moreover, short hair is also good for playing basketball. He thinks that it is best to have such a hairstyle.
At the end of the first half, the players of both teams returned to the locker room. Floyd praised the team's performance in the first half again: "Everyone did a good job in the first half. We put the No. 1 seed in the Big East League under our heads, but don't forget that we only led by 3 points. In the first half, our offense was concentrated on the outside, and it was very dangerous to put the eggs outside. We do not lack good players in the inside line to end the offense. We must increase the offense at the basket in the second half. After the pick-and-roll, the inside players must resolutely follow the move."
Floyd looked at Wu Huang and said, "Hugo, you have to boldly stuff the ball into the basket without worrying about mistakes. It doesn't matter if you make ten mistakes in preseason."
Wu Huangxin said that I also wanted to send the ball to the basket, but you told us to be careful of Tabit before the game. But now I found that Tabit is just a little taller, so I threw the blame on me all at once?
"Okay, I was scared by that big man in the first half. I will increase the inside pass in the second half." Wu Huang complained, but the coach still had to give him face. This made Floyd smile and could no longer like Wu Huang.
In the second half, Wu Huang indeed strengthened his pass to the inside, but they obviously underestimated Tabit, who scored only 6 points in the first half. This guy's defensive performance was inversely proportional to his offense. In just two minutes, Gibson first attacked, and then pressed down the aerial relay that Wu Huang passed to Bart, and directly captured the rich second generation off the court.
Bart wanted to dunk this time, but he jumped too high and naturally he wouldn't fall lightly. He fell on the floor and grinned and was carried back to the locker room by the team staff. I don't know what the injury was like?
AJ Price and Stanley Robinson of Continental were hot in the second half. The two broke through and shots and disrupted the defense line of USC. In addition, Tabit always grabbed frontcourt rebounds in the second half, USC could not withstand it.
At the 14th minute and 50th second in the second half, Kangda surpassed the score again.
As the number one seed in the Big East, the University of Connecticut is regarded as the favorite to win the National Championship this season. How could it be that it is not a pair of tricks?
In the second half, Kangda began to double-team defense against Wu Huang on the defensive end, and the offensive end added breakthroughs and mid-range shooting. Tabit's rebounding advantage was also played out, but the University of Southern California did not have the second point to stand up and score when Wu Huang was double-teamed.
Floyd thought of DeRozan off the court, but he would not send DeRozan to the court today. Not to mention that the purpose of polishing this kid would fail. At this time, DeRozan is replaced. Once the game is won, what will the fans think? They will definitely ask him why he didn't change DeRozan as soon as possible!
After all, it is already a matter of face. Anyway, the preseason record is not particularly important. Losing to a strong team like Kangda University is fully affordable.
Seeing that the team had problems with the offensive end, DeRozan couldn't help but ask the head coach for the initiative, so he was naturally rejected ruthlessly.
Wu Huang lost his previous elegance in the second half. Facing Dawson, who has a steady personality, rich experience and AJ Price, it is difficult for him to continue to get out of the outside world under the double-team of the two. As for the inside, he really can't play. Tabit relies on his lack of defense for three seconds and the University of Southern California without a long-range inside restraint. This guy hurried in the penalty area and couldn't come out. Even if Wu Huang could break into the basket, he would not have a chance to take action. But that unlucky guy, Bart, still doesn't know what happened.
The most important thing is that Wu Huang's ball control skills are far from reaching the point where he can easily face double-teams. In the past month, he has only absorbed fruits that he had not been able to absorb in his previous training. If the attributes in 2K games are used to describe his current ball control and ball protection skills, at most, there are 65 ball control and 70 ball protection.
Emperor Wu played very depressed in the second half. After being double-teamed, he realized that he still had few reliable helpers.
Bart Blay is the most reliable wing pitcher on the team except DeRozan, and he just happened to be disappointed.
Gibson is very athletic, but he is good at defense and rebounding. He has few offensive methods and is also a player with strong defense and weak defense.
Emperor Wu finally found that he still had to be responsible for scoring when he arrived at university, but under the key encirclement of Kangda University, you can imagine how efficient he would be.
USC only won one first half in this game, and they only lasted for ten minutes in the second half, and then there was a complete avalanche!
The score was 62:75. Under Kangda's oppressive defense in the second half, UC only scored a pitiful 18 points, losing the first preseason game of the 2008-09 season very neatly.
Wu Huang's performance in the second half reduced points. He only scored 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and made 2 of 6 shots. One of them was still shot when he was behind in a big score. He only scored 2 points in the sports game in the first ten minutes. The shortcomings of his poor ball control skills were completely exposed. He didn't have many ways to face double-teams.
Many home fans scolded the words "Chinese" after the game. These people are very low in tolerance towards Chinese people. Emperor Wu's performance is far beyond ordinary freshmen, but as long as his performance is a little worse, criticism will come in a flood.
Emperor Wu naturally heard these voices. After exchanging jerseys with Dawson, he left the stadium with a cold face.
He is in a bad mood now, and he has not found the two girls who are watching the ball, only his father and little girl.
Taylor Swift and Christine were also very depressed when they saw Wu Huang lose.
Not to mention them, the 20,000 fans at the scene were very depressed.
After the game, many fans were very sarcastic to Wu Huang, but many fans comforted themselves that Wu Huang's performance was already good. Although this first-year student struggled in the second half when he was double-teamed, he might not be much better than him if he was replaced by others.
They also have a genius DeRozan, who may not appear due to injury. If these two defenders can partner together, who would dare to double-team them?
When Wu Huang returned to the locker room, he had received comfort text messages from Taylor Swift and Christine on his phone, which made him feel much better. But then he remembered his powerlessness when he was double-teamed in the second half, and his sense of crisis was unprecedentedly strong. He had to improve his ball-handling skills as soon as possible, which was the foundation of an excellent point guard.
"Hugo, don't be upset, your performance is already very good." Gibson returned to the locker room and stepped forward to comfort Wu Huang, who looked bad.
DeRozan also walked in at this time. Emperor Wu saw gloating on this guy's face, but he was the same mentality.
Wu Huang's performance today is indeed good. He scored a total of 23 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 5 turnovers, 8 of 18 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. This is his first game in college, facing the top team Connecticut, and the data he handed over is already very rare.
"Don't blame yourself. As long as this game allows us to find our own flaws and our problems, it's meaningless." Floyd was the last to return to the locker room and faced the frustrated players, and activated his mouth gun skill.
There is no post-match press conference in the NCAA preseason, so the U.S. California players do not need to face the difficulties of reporters after the game. Although the NCAA is more like a commercial league than the NBA, it is nominally a college league.
