Chapter 56 Details determine success or failure
"Scoring and defense, the defensive end can defend the opponent, and the offensive end can score, this is the shooting guard." Wu Huang glanced at DeRozan, and his contemptuous gaze made the latter's passion rush straight to his forehead.
DeRozan couldn't stand the look of Emperor Wu the most. He made up his mind to let everyone see their abilities later.
"Damn it, I won't stimulate you, and I don't know when I will see your performance." Emperor Wu has used provocative techniques to deal with DeRozan this season. Later, even Floyd saw that the two masters and apprentices often cooperated to activate the "provocative" skill when needed.
Harden's freshman performance is not much better than DeRozan now. The latter was suppressed by Emperor Wu this year, and he did not show many talents and did not attract enough attention. Therefore, Floyd wanted DeRozan to stay and play for another year, which would be beneficial to himself and the school.
The media also suggested that DeRozan stay in school for one year, otherwise he might not be able to enter the lottery zone if he participated in the draft this year.
But DeRozan doesn't want to stay in school anymore. He wants to make money, and at the same time he is tired of life in school. He is already satisfied with being able to enter the lottery zone. But even the lottery zone is not so easy to enter. He really needs to show himself well in the national competitions to be sure to enter the lottery zone.
Emperor Wu is now targeted by his opponent, and DeRozan's defense is relatively weak, which is his best opportunity to show off.
After the game restarted, Emperor Wu consciously moved to the left and right flank areas. After attracting the defense, he immediately passed the basketball to Gibson, who was in the center, who quickly transferred the basketball to DeRozan on the weak side.
At this time, the focus of Arizona University's defense was still on Wu Huang, and the Black Boy had a perfect 1-on-1 chance on the other side.
Harden's lateral movement is not slow, but it is definitely not agile. When he moves seriously, he can barely reach a medium-to-high level. Others such as explosive power and speed are the same. None of them reaches the top, and their comprehensive athletic ability is half a level worse than DeRozan.
However, in other more important abilities, such as ball holding, vision, shooting, organizational connection, etc., Harden is one level stronger than DeRozan. By doing so, he is much stronger than DeRozan.
This is also the reason why Harden can be compared with Wu Huang. Both of them are popular candidates in the top three drafts, but DeRozan cannot enter this level.
What Wu Huang is doing at the moment is to create an environment that is beneficial to DeRozan. What 1-on-1 tests more is the player's athletic ability and singles skills. Sometimes absolute speed and explosive power can solve most problems.
DeRozan and Harden have known each other since childhood and know each other well. When they chat in private, they often complained about Emperor Wu.
But it is precisely because of their familiarity that DeRozan knows how to deal with Harden. The best way to use straightforward breakthrough is to compete with the opponent for explosive power and speed. If you can't pass the first two steps, then stop and change direction. This kind of breakthrough method of sudden stop and start has a very high chance of getting rid of Harden.
Gibson will also help DeRozan with some cover in the inside. At this time, Harden's big disadvantage is reflected. He could not keep up with DeRozan, and if he is delayed a little, he will not be able to keep up. At this time, the inside of the University of Arizona will face DeRozan's frontal impact. The latter's super explosive power can easily cause inside players to foul, or dodge a jump, and a direct mid-range jump shot is also DeRozan's skill.
At the 7th minute and 45th second in the second half, the score was 56:50. DeRozan scored 8 points in the previous four minutes. Arizona asked for a timeout and they had to take some measures against DeRozan.
During this period, Wu Huang basically dribbled through half the court, then pretended to break through, attracted the defense and passed the basketball out, started running without the ball, pulled the Arizona State defensive formation, and played the supporting role.
Scott Pera could naturally see the purpose of the University of Southern California, but there was no good way. If the heavy encirclement and suppression of Emperor Wu, this guy would become a greater threat to them again. But now the cooperation between DeRozan and Gibson is also very threatening. How should the team's defense be arranged?
"Double-team DeRozan!" Scott Pera thought for a long time, but in the end he still did not intend to relax his defense against Emperor Wu, but he could not ignore DeRozan's threat, so he could only tear down the east wall and repair the west wall.
Jeff Ayles, who is in the inside, should help Harden assist in defense and double-team DeRozan in time, so as to make a proper free defense against Gibson.
He bets that DeRozan didn't play fast enough so they had a chance to use fast round switch defense to fill the loopholes.
DeRozan's shot speed is indeed not fast enough. This season, he has too little ball holding and has not received enough training at all. Unlike Wu Huang, who has a lot of opportunities to hold the ball and attack, has accumulated enough experience, and has been slowly improving his shortcomings.
This is why Floyd wanted him to play for another year. If he had never been a core student in college and had not had enough training, he would have fewer opportunities to go to the NBA, and he might not be able to play in the end.
After the game restarted, DeRozan broke through Harden with a beautiful cross step at the 45-degree three-point line on the right.
Gibson immediately pulled to the free throw line to meet, and Jeff Ayles chose to let go of Gibson and help Harden double-team DeRozan.
At this time, DeRozan only passed the ball to Gibson, who received the basketball at the free throw line and could hit the basket in two steps. Maybe he could play two plus one at a time. However, DeRozan's vision was really poor, and he only had the basket in his eyes. He crashed into the front and back double-teams, and forced his move but didn't even touch the basket.
"I knew it would be like this!" Wu Huang rushed to the basket and reached out to secretly pull the power forward of the University of Arizona Eric Boateng from the place where the referee could not see it.
Gibson and Wu Huang rushed to the basket together, jumped up and received the basketball, and then stuffed it into the basket.
"He pulled my jersey." Boateng hated him and pointed at his jersey at the referee, loudly protesting Wu Huang's small movements.
The referee did not see Emperor Wu's actions, so he naturally would not pay attention to such protests.
Many players like to make things happen out of nothing, so as long as they don’t see it with their own eyes, the referee will not pay attention to the players’ unilateral protests.
Evidence must be given to everything. Although replay is the best evidence, the referee will not watch the video every time a player protests, and there will be no game in one night.
Emperor Wu knew that DeRozan was easily missed by double-teams, and Gibson also guessed that DeRozan was likely to miss after the timeout, so after the game started again, both of them were ready to compete for the frontcourt rebounds.
The Arizona players are at a disadvantage in terms of bounce and wingspan, so Wu Huang won't mention it. Although Gibson only has one, his wingspan is also about the same. With his 70cm vertical bounce, he has a very advantageous advantage in fighting for the frontcourt rebounds.
This timeout, Arizona State is not only about setting up defense against DeRozan, but also about solving its offensive problems.
Harden was also targeted by the University of Southern California and could not score, Jeff Ayles was also focused on it, and the University of Arizona now also needs a third point to help the team score.
Scott Pera chose Kukasca, a better white shooter than Bart Bly.
However, Bart said that he is not a color pen, Kukasca is better offensive and has superb shooting skills, but Bart has better athletic ability. It is not difficult for a pure shooter to be stared at. Unless he has unique running skills, it is difficult to have too good development.
Strictly speaking, there are only two players who can attack.
The University of Southern California has two and a half, and Gibson can cause fatal damage to the University of Arizona when it is empty.
At the 5th minute and 20th second in the second half, DeRozan once again challenged Harden. He had missed two shots before. This time, the black boy finally learned to learn. After reaching the penalty area, he twisted his body in the air and passed the basketball to Gibson.
DeRozan passed the ball badly, Gibson had to pause to catch it, and the University of Arizona's defense took the opportunity to retract back into the inside.
Wu Huang has only one person to defend now. Gibson immediately passed the basketball. Wu Huang dribbled away from the substitute point guard of Arizona University, Jamal McMillan, and did not shoot at the first time. He deliberately adjusted it, lured Kukasca over, and passed the basketball to the bottom corner.
Bart had no defense in the bottom corner and made a three-pointer with an open shot!
The Staples Arena suddenly cheered all over the sky, with a score of 65:56, and the University of Southern California widened the score gap to 9 points.
Mumbai Albert smiled: "Through this goal, there are also a few second scores after grabbing the frontcourt rebounds in the second half. We can see that although the two teams are not much different in strength, the details are undoubtedly better in handling the details. The winner and loss of the game are usually gradually determined through these small details, which is the details that determine success or failure!"
