Chapter 75 Not evenly matched

Chinese fans can understand Barkley's metaphor as "overstepping one's own affairs" or "overestimating one's own abilities". Emperor Wu quickly allowed Terrence to see what the real commander is.

USC cannot use elevator tactics every time. Wu Huang fully utilized his mobilization ability at the top of the arc this time, directing DeRozan to run back and forth along the bottom line like a fool. In the end, he finally didn't let the little black man run in vain and passed the basketball to the position DeRozan should have run to, so this time the ball was here and the talent arrived.

When Wu Huang controls the ball, he often gives fans a sense of reassurance.

Secondly, when passing the ball, he doesn't like passing the ball to his teammates who have already stood in position.

This is not that he cannot pass, but that his passing skills are not yet top-notch, and his accuracy is not that high, and he is easily intercepted. Therefore, he has developed the habit of passing the ball to his teammates. Simply put, he likes to pass in advance, so that he will not be easily intercepted by his opponent, because at the moment when Wu Huang passed the ball, there was no one here.

If you look at such a pass from the perspective of the fans, it is a bit like Wu Huang using basketball to lead his teammates to run. The "ball" is leading the "people" to run. The ball is here and the talent is here.

Wu Huang's organization and mobilization method further tests the players' vision and overall view, but the requirements for passing skills are not as high as those of passing in person.

Of course, this passing method also has higher requirements for the whole team. His teammates must really move on the field and run constantly. Therefore, Wu Huang is really not suitable to be teammates with superstars such as Kobe, Wade, etc. Just watch DeRozan score a goal and run two laps on the field. In the end, he becomes tired like a dog, and you will know whether Pan and others will let Wu Huang command like this, which is like walking a dog.

Emperor Wu himself can't stand, he has to move. He can't just hold a basketball and watch his teammates run around while still, then he's like a fool, right?

The real strong team is like the University of Louisville. They are oppressing basketball all the time and trying to block basketball, so their defense is not to stand there motionless, because that is the turtle.

The University of Louisville will constantly adjust its defense line according to the position of the basketball, striving to create a situation where the basketball is located, and then they will suddenly clench their basketball tightly like fists and hold the basketball in the palm of their hands.

Wu Huang's "scheduling" is mainly to analyze the opponent's defense line, and at the same time, he deliberately uses passes to mobilize the opponent's defense and actively create open shots.

Why do all scouts emphasize his overall view first?

Because he can always transfer basketball to a weak area at the right time, which is a reflection of the overall situation and vision.

At the 5th minute and 20th second of the first half, Wu Huang seemed to be a little sticky on the offensive end. Louisville University's defense line was slowly approaching him and suddenly surrounded him, intending to trap Wu Huang and the basketball in his hand. But just as the net was closed, the basketball flew out of the encirclement the moment before the gap disappeared. It suddenly appeared in a weak area without defense.

Nathan Bowch, who came on the bench, did not have any Louisville University player within two meters, and easily jumped and threw the ball into it.

"Second!" Many NBA coaches and managers who watched this game couldn't help but applaud.

Emperor Wu really can't help but not mention the overall situation, and he is surprisingly calm on the court. I don't know if he is skilled and bold, or if he can understand everything, but these two points are qualities that an excellent point guard possesses.

In the first half, USC used Wu Huang's personal performance to widen the score bit by bit. It had a player who could increase the team's points from time to time by relying on his own strength. Maybe there was nothing in a short time, but it could not withstand the long flow of water and the water dripping through the stone. As long as the time lasted, the University of Louisville naturally could not withstand it.

At the 4th minute and 30th second, Wu Huang grabbed the backcourt rebound and immediately made a fast attack, changing direction twice in the middle, dodging two defensive players from Louisville University, and scored the ball in a long-distance run.

Emperor Wu had another wonderful solo performance, the score became 39:26, and the University of Louisville really couldn't stand it now.

Rick Pitino had no choice but to ask for a timeout. He knew that this was a timeout for Emperor Wu. The kid didn't have a minute rest in the first half. It seemed that the University of Southern California wanted him to play the whole game again. But if he didn't call a timeout, he would be able to go on a timeout in advance in the second half, so he still had to call a timeout.

Charles Barkley smiled and said, "Hugo must have given Rick a headache. He has made 3 three-pointers, scored 18 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. How to deal with Hugo next? Can he have any answers?"

Kenny Smith also smiled and said, "Hugo is the most troublesome opponent for most coaches in the NCAA league. When this kid flicks left and right on the court, how many people are praying to heaven to find the answer: How can you stop him? How can you make him feel uncomfortable? Could it be that the only way to stop him is to knock him to the ground?"

"I think it's useless even if it's done that, his free throws are close to 90%, which will make him more likely to score. But what I'm more interested in is that this guy who is so dazzling on the court doesn't have his own title. Do you think this is even rarer? What do you think should he be called?"

"Good question, a Chinese friend told me that hugo's name is homophonic with the Chinese emperor, so everyone calls him "emperor". "King" is more appropriate, and his performance is worthy of such description." Kenny Smith said this and spread his hands and smiled. But the problem is also obvious. We already have a king and emperor who are better than him, so hugo does not have the title of him yet."

"This is indeed a problem. If other words are added before 'king' and 'emperor', it will not be easy to read, wouldn't there be other nicknames suitable for him?"

"Yes, friends who just watched the live broadcast participated in the interaction. He said that there is a great hero in China called 'east unbeaten'. This name is very suitable for the unbeaten Emperor Wu, who has remained unbeaten so far, and 'the easterd' is also very suitable for the nickname of hugo."

He dared to say anything with his big butt. He was shocked when he heard this, opened his mouth wide, and after a long time he repeated: "Dongfanghong..."

Wu Huang didn't know that someone had given him such a scam nickname. He felt very good in this game. He only made one mistake in the first half, but the three-point record has not made much progress for the time being. Wu Huang still puts the overall situation first and did not use the team's elevator tactics to deliberately shoot three-pointers.

Rick Pitino was very angry. He has not yet come up with a complete plan for the elevator tactics that the University of Southern California had previously implemented, but the original intention of this timeout was not because of the elevator tactics, but because his team's attack could not be opened.

Terrence Williams and Earl Clark have been rushing like bulls during this period. The University of Louisville scores were completely knocked back by hitting the wall. It is not that this is not good, but it is really indecent, and it has no technical content and is not efficient.

Rick Pitino asked for more passes on the court. Especially one person can't hold the ball for a long time, which means that he is very dissatisfied with Terrence's organization and dispatch. In fact, compared with Wu Huang on the opposite side, everyone is not blind, so it's not the same piece of material, so don't put on garlic anymore.

On the defensive end, Rick Pitino told the players that whenever Wu Huang tried to shoot from a long time, the players who defended him should immediately pounce on him.

Theoretically, this will add pressure to Wu Huang's shooting and force him to take action faster. A hasty move will cause a defensive rebound, which is more cost-effective than having him pass it to other unmanned players to layups. However, this method should prevent being deceived by Wu Huang's shooting fake action. The timing of the defensive side blocking must be mastered, otherwise it will have a counterproductive effect.

After the game started again, the main point guard Edgar Sousa held the ball, but the Dominican point guard had no time to observe it, so he almost intercepted the ball by Wu Huang, and could only pass the ball to his teammates in a mess.

After DeRozan and Gibson re-played, USC began to press the opponent again. Although the effects of these three players were different, they all made their opponents unable to handle the ball easily, and they could only quickly hand the basketball over to their teammates who were close to them.

Rick Pitino previously emphasized transferring basketball, but at this time there was no one in the team who could hold the ball. There was no premise for executing orders at all. This timeout was completely useless.

The Louisville University players can only pass the ball in a hurry under the pressure of their opponents. Such hasty passes have no purpose. If you pass a few times, you will definitely be forced into the corner. In the end, you will either be beaten by the opponent with more or have a hasty shot. Anyway, no result will be good.

Wu Huang also started to feel pain on the offensive end. Of course, it was not the defense of Louisville University that had been effective. His reaction was much faster than Edgar Sousa. It was not difficult to shake the opponent's center of gravity. This can be seen as why Messi always used fake moves and feints to deceive his opponent?

In Messi's eyes, others are slower than themselves, and he is always faster than others. This "fast" not only refers to fast movements, but also fast reactions and predictions, and any link is faster than you... Therefore, his extraordinary looks like there are not many dazzling movements, but he is always so relaxed and free and at will.

This situation is also applicable to NBA. Some stars are not particularly fast when doing movements, but they can just shake their opponents and easily pass people, so simple that you can feel that they can do it even if you change them to yourself.

Now Wu Huang has a little bit of this. His ball sense has always been bad before, so he doesn't need any fancy ball control movements. This makes his breakthrough more practical. Even if the ball sense is improved now, he still focuses on practicality and pursues the concept of "big tricks are not good, heavy swords have no edges".

Edgar Sousa had teammates at his right hand to help him defend at any time, but Wu Huang was not worried at all. His confidence became more and more strong. With a simple tentative step, time seemed to slow down. He could keenly feel that his opponent's center of gravity was slightly tilted to the left.

Emperor Wu immediately pretended to break through to the right, completely shook the opponent's center of gravity, then stopped suddenly and changed direction, turning to break through to the left.

Although there are players from Louisville University who assist in defense in this direction, as long as you pass Edgar in front of you, he will still be 1-on-1. Then the second guy who will be in trouble will be.

"Beautiful!" Emperor Wu took a step and passed Edgar, then stopped urgently, praised himself in his heart, and looked at Earl Clark, who was assisting in defense, and his shoulders swayed quickly. After judging Clark's center of gravity, he changed direction again. He passed by one person lightly and hugged the ball and entered the inside line alone.

These actions were just a moment in the eyes of the fans, but in the blink of an eye, Wu Huang observed the opponent's reaction and made correct judgments and further actions.

"It's simply a waste!" The fans of the University of Louisville passed the two of them easily when they saw Emperor Wu. Finally, after raising their hands and creating two free throw opportunities, they scolded the players on their side for being useless.

In their eyes, this Chinese just passed by two simple feints and change directions. Are the players at the University of Louisville all wooden stakes? They just shook their shoulders and wouldn't they move?

Fans don’t understand how fatal these simple moves are, and they don’t know that professional players pay attention to just one detail.

Genius players often glance at their eyes and their bodies can react at the same time, and their brains don’t need to analyze them in the middle. Or, their brains have already been analyzed by the way after reading them, but they just haven’t even noticed them.

This explanation may be a bit metaphysical. A more scientific explanation is: those who have played or played the ball must know that when your support foot stands firmly, if the center of gravity moves, even if it is just a little bit, the defense range that the other foot can still cover is very small. Wu Huang accelerates the direction at this moment, and the defender can only stand stupidly like a wooden stake, helpless.

What are the extraordinary difficulties of this kind?

Of course, you can tell where the opponent's center of gravity is in that flash, and your body can still make movements.

The reaction time at this moment may be less than 0.1 second. If you want to rely on your head to actively analyze, the daylily will be cold.

So, in the end, we have to go back to the talent of metaphysics.

Wu Huang was able to seize the moment when the defender's center of gravity moved slightly and took emergency stops and directions, so his extraordinary skills were so easy.

There is another type of player in the NBA. Their extraordinary movements are so beautiful that they are dazzling. They can use various magical ball control techniques to make their opponents mess around. This is two ways to do it with Wu Huang.

Louisville University added blockades to Wu Huang's shots at the end of the first half, increasing blockades of his passes to prevent him from making or making more threatening balls.

Wu Huang immediately strengthened his breakthrough to deal with it. Naturally, there was no way to shoot a three-pointer, but the threat of making him break through seemed to be higher. He was either fouled or scored on the penalty area line. Wu Huang fully demonstrated his breakthrough ability, far exceeding the scout's b-to-b+ evaluation.

Before the end of the half, Wu Huang became addicted to suddenness. In the last three seconds, another close-range throw after a breakthrough. He used his ending method with a very high shooting percentage and extremely difficult to block, which ended the extremely bad first half for Louisville University.
