Chapter 85 NCAA Final Battle
April 8, Detroit Ford Arena, half an hour before the game started, USC locker room
"You guess how much I'm heavy now?" In the locker room of the University of Southern California, Wu Huang and his teammates stood in front of a scale. No one understood why this little thing was put here?
"I guess you should be 180 pounds?" Bart glanced at Wu Huang, who was naked. Although his figure was still very weak, he seemed to be stronger than when the school started, and his muscle lines were already very obvious.
Wu Huang stood on the scale, and the figure of 181 pounds was quickly displayed on it. His weight was indeed more than 180 pounds.
Height cannot be measured in this locker room, but Wu Huang knew that his height was 190.3m, weighed 180.5 pounds, had an arm span of 208m, and a body fat rate of 6.8%. This is the accurate data he came to the team's body side a few days ago. There are very few people who know this data now, but he must know his accurate physical measurement data.
Emperor Wu has a long body, long hands, long legs, long arms and long... and that thing is also very long... So, it will definitely be later on the body.
His weight is already very good now, and his body fat rate is maintained very well. A body fat rate of about 6% is the best basketball player's body fat standard. There is no need to reduce it to below 5%. Moreover, it is difficult to achieve this in normal circumstances. Jordan's peak body fat is only over 5%.
▽ When talking about today's game, the two teams didn't even have to take the initiative to investigate, and the media had already clearly explained the characteristics of the two teams.
The four major players at the University of North Carolina are Taylor Hansblu in the inside, Tay Lawson in the outside, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green in the outside. These four are very strong in body and have strong oppressiveness on the defensive end. They can defend their own three-point land without assisting defense.
Head coach Roy Williams emphasizes oppressive single defense, with the inside core Taylor Hansblu having good physical fitness, defensive skills and defensive awareness. He does not need to pull out to prevent pick-and-roll, and is ready to prevent breakthroughs and empty cuts at any time when he is huddled near the basket, which can ensure that North Carolina has good frame protection efficiency. At the same time, North Carolina is one of the teams with the least fouls. Hansblu is willing to desperately get his teammates to grab the board, and North Carolina's defensive rebounding rate is also at the forefront of the league.
At the same time, Roy Williams strongly emphasized the discipline of the outside line without the ball. It is absolutely not allowed to take risks and leak people for stealing. North Carolina's mistakes rank at the bottom of the league, and the reward is that they are not airtight outside the three-point line. They rarely give their opponents a fixed opportunity and can give extremely low three-point ratio and three-point shooting percentage. In other words, North Carolina has a very strong cutting ability for offensive choices. Don't think about how high the number of assists they have, and can only solve the problem with various strong shots holding the ball at mid-range.
Floyd knew these things clearly. In short, North Carolina's defense was to divide the defensive area into three parts: the middle distance and the three-point line, and then use two outstanding inside players to strictly guard the penalty area. Three outside gates blocked the three-point line, and the middle distance was selectively empty.
The mid-distance area can be said to be the weakness of North Carolina University. But in fact, they can play to the finals, which means that no one has been able to defeat them through this weakness.
If any team wants to play mid-range, they must first break through the steel defense line composed of Ty Lawson, Ellington and Danny Green. This is not so easy to do. Therefore, the key to this game is the external offense of the University of Southern California. Can Wu Huang and DeRozan make a channel outside the three-point line?
After Floyd's research over the past few days, he found that there were not many tricks, and this was not a task that could be tricked. The University of Southern California could only make a desperate move, taking advantage of the ability of Wu Huang and DeRozan to take advantage of his ability to pick-and-roll and off-ball running to break through the steel defense line set by the University of North Carolina.
Theoretically, the University of North Carolina is right to force opponents to play with a ball, but not every team cannot break this defense. Floyd's meaning is very clear: Didn't you emphasize that people are not allowed to give empty seats? Then I rely on pick-and-roll or unball cover to force you to change defense. If the misplaced comes out, I don't believe you don't double-team. Especially the small-sized Tae Lawson, can he still defend DeRozan from the position? Even when Wu faces Tae Lawson, he has enough height advantages. Ellington and Danny Green will definitely help him hide, but the University of Southern California does not care about these. They will firmly use Tae Lawson's height to make things difficult for him to hide.
The burden on Wu Huang is the heaviest. How he performs today will directly determine whether the team's offense can be played.
Two teams entered the court, and USC ranked behind North Carolina again. Wu Huang was naturally the last to step out of the player channel and accepted cheers from all the fans.
His support team was all present again today. There were too many girls, which was sometimes a troublesome. However, the troubles after the game were left to think about after the game. There was nothing else in Wu Huang’s mind. He was thinking about it: go all out to win this game, get the championship trophy, and then enter the NBA with a bright future, starting another journey for him!
"There are geniuses from all over the world, they are more experienced than me, and there are rising stars who are more talented than me in the future. The challenges there are much higher than here." Wu Huang looked at the NBA stars on the sidelines and thought to himself: "The basketball in the NBA is not pure, but who cares whether it is a pure basketball or not, it is a stage for geniuses. If I want to prove anything to the world, I must conquer it."
After Wu Huang appeared, he looked at the crowded crowds in the stadium. The scale of 80,000 people could already give people an endless feeling. Today, he will officially enter a new field as the number one person in NCAA under the attention of 80,000 people on the scene.
US President Obama did come to the scene today. Not far away, there was another former president who was plagued by countless scandals. Clinton, who looked a bit similar to Kennedy, Stallone and Zeng.
It is said that Clinton and Hillary and Obama have always been in a bad way. If these two fight, they will look good.
Jordan, Carter, Jamison and other active or retired stars from North Carolina all appeared in the front row to watch the game today. Some irrelevant stars who came to join in the fun can't count them today, such as Zhang Ziyi, or something. Do you know if these people can figure out the difference between PG and SG.
There were so many important people from all walks of life today. How did the director give the featured feature? This is a difficult problem, so it is worth pondering that the current general manager of the Knicks, Donnie Walsh, actually got a two-second close-up. This is obviously related to the Knicks' recent actions, otherwise how could he enjoy such treatment?
In 2008, Donny Walsh became the new president of basketball operations for the Knicks. After taking office, he immediately began to resolve several long-term contracts of the Knicks. He used the Jamal Crawford deal to Al Harrington. Then he sent Marty Collins and Zach Randolph away for Cartino Mobri and Tim Thomas.
Although the players received were not very helpful to the team, their contracts expired at the end of the 2010 season, which would save the Knicks $27 million in total salary and give the team enough salary space to sign free agents whose contracts expired.
The Knicks' task this season is to play badly. Now there are not many games in the regular season, and they have finally slipped to the bottom of the Eastern Conference. They have a high chance of winning the No. 1 pick, and the worst is the top three draft picks.
Everyone knows what the New Yorkers think now. If they want to pass the draft, they will first choose a young team-building core. If they choose well, then they will get a star who is in their playing age in the summer of 10 years, and the Knicks will immediately be qualified to compete for the championship.
Therefore, they are the team that is most interested in Wu Huang. D'Antoni even called him twice to congratulate him when he won the district championship and broke the three-point record in the quarterfinals of the elite. Of course, D'Antoni also briefly talked about his views on Wu Huang on the phone, which was actually hinting to Wu Huang Huang, how he would use him and how he would position him if he got to the Knicks.
D'Antoni was the king of Europe when he played, and he was also Kobe's idol. After returning to the NBA to coach, he was also a master of small ball tactics. But the fact is that except for the years with the Suns, D'Antoni's life was not easy. At this time in New York, he couldn't even find a suitable ball-holding propeller, so his desire for Wu Huang made him unable to sleep.
Emperor Wu did not resist the Knicks. He naturally knew the benefits of playing in big cities. Los Angeles and the Knicks are the places that superstars yearn for the most. Although he is just a college star, he also yearns for playing in big cities.
Seeing that their team had the opportunity to take Wu Huang into his position, the New York media has been constantly fueling the hype of this No. 1 pick. Just say directly: The Knicks have cleared all the cancers and have vacated the team's core position, and are waiting for you to get in place.
Larry Bird was the kickoff guest of this game. The players of the two teams greeted the Hall of Fame superstar one by one before the game. However, when the little guys saw the expressionless Big Bird, they felt a little upset. Bird ignored them at all. In the face of these juniors' greetings, they just nodded.
Bird's vision is not ordinary. Among these players, there is no seedling that he values except Wu Huang.
Emperor Wu was a little unsteady when he saw Larry Bird. This was not an ordinary character. No matter how crazy he was, he would not dare to attack in front of the big bird. Although he still believed in his identity, he only went up the last one, but he greeted him politely.
"Well, I heard you can talk trash?" Larry Bird said suddenly, but he still had a cold attitude.
Emperor Wu felt very unexpected. Bird ignored anyone, but spoke to him, but what he said made him feel at a loss. He realized for a long time: "Yes, but I haven't said it for a long time."
"Why?"
"I can't meet an opponent that makes me feel tricky."
