Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 16 Tan Yang, you didn’t get up at four in the morning to memorize the NCAA rules!

At the beginning, I had the tender feeling of being the Duke Basketball Devils as a powerful team that dominated the league for four consecutive years. When I copied the homework from Wake Forest University, I still felt: I am aggrieved.

But copying homework is fun for a while, and copying homework is always fun.

After several offensive rounds, the Duke Blue Devils' offense frequently scored, especially after Dengtae Jones attracted Josh Howard to help defend, he passed the ball and assisted JJ Redick, who was originally guarded. He caught the ball and hit two points. The score difference between the two sides once expanded to 7 points.

The players on the Duke Blue Devils no longer feel aggrieved, they just feel that their lives are about to reach their peak!

The exhilaration brought by the impending victory overwhelms all other emotions, and the so-called feeling of suffocation becomes an aphrodisiac.

However, 10 minutes passed in the second half, and then... 18 minutes passed, and the Duke Blue Devils were waiting for... no, they were waiting for victory, and it hadn't come yet.

It was clear that the Duke Blue Devils were flourishing offensively, and the scenes on and off the court were lively, but they failed to completely kill the game in terms of score.

The 7-point difference was the largest point difference, and then the score kept fluctuating around 3 points, and the suspense of the game was retained.

"Tin Yang, it's Tan Yang again!

This treasure-trove player actually used the field control to play an efficient offense.

Wake Forest University was very passive on the scene when the Duke Blue Devils showed no moral integrity and copied homework, but in this terrible situation, the game could be killed at any time.

Qin Yang took action, using assists, three-pointers and defense again and again to pull Wake Forest University out of the water, which was about to drown..."

Of course, for Wake Forest University, the situation on the field is only half-dead, not that good, and there is a danger of being taken away at any time.

After all, the talent of the Duke Blue Devils truly dominates the entire ACC. There are three top 02 rookies in the 10 high school class, plus two quasi-first-round-level immediate stars, and now the tactics are very suitable.

In Doudizhu parlance, it is a downwind round with a pair of big and small kings + three 2s + no shortage of seven short and five cards, and the game is tactically overwhelming and leading at the beginning.

That is to say, there is a time limit for playing basketball. Before the game time is over, no matter how hard you are beaten, it will not end. If it were Landlords, Wake Forest University would have been unable to hold on.

At this time, the game entered the last 2 minutes of the second half, with the score 67 to 70. The Duke Basketball Devils took a 3-point lead and had the ball.

“Another opportunity for the Duke Blue Devils offense to score and kill the game.

JJ Redick used a double-cover tactic to get away from Josh Howard.

Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the left, catch the ball, jump up, what the hell?

Josh Howard jumped out, jumped high before he could reach him, and reached out to intercept in the air. JJ Redick's shot was still slow.

Fortunately, the basketball was thrown and was not blocked, would it be possible..."

Bang-dang——!
Basketball missed the mark amidst the regrets of the home fans.

Tan Yang immediately rushed back to keep the rebound. However, Sheldon Williams, who had been invisible for the whole game, grabbed the key offensive rebound at this moment.

Snapped--!
“It’s too bad Wake Forest didn’t get the basketball.

Sheldon Williams made a great contribution, continuously lighting up the basketball under the basket, and then jumped up to get the offensive rebound.

Sheldon Williams got the basketball and did not force a follow-up shot. He was already far away from the rebound and there was no threat to the offense.

Hey, Tan Yang suddenly approached and reached out to cut the ball.

Pretty!

After cutting off Sheldon Williams' basketball, Tan Yang immediately accelerated his counterattack.

No, the whistle sounded. Tan Yang stole the ball and was whistled for a hitter foul.

The home fans were already cheering. Oh, the referee ran to the technical stage, and then stretched out two fingers and pointed at the free throw line.

My goodness!

Qin Yang seemed to be the hero of the reversal of the game. In the blink of an eye, he was sentenced for a foul and may have become the scapegoat for the loss of the game.

Oh, no, it's not two free throws, no, it's two free throws, but these are two free throws of 1+1.

Maybe, probably, maybe, Wake Forest University still has a chance..."

“Well done!
Tan, your foul on this ball is so critical. "

"How did your head grow?

The game has reached such an anxious stage. While sorting out the offense in an orderly manner, it can also ensure sobriety on defense.

You are such a pervert. "

"Yes, Tan, he must be a pervert.

Especially the foul on Sheldon Williams, this is such a nice choice!

Tan, you didn’t get up at four in the morning to memorize the NCAA rules..."

Surrounded by his teammates at Wake Forest University, he was showered with praises and kind words. Tan Yang had a beautiful face. Although there was no emotion on his face, he was a little confused inside.

Is this reasonable?

He obviously committed a foul, and the Duke Basketball Devils got the free throw opportunity to kill the game. How come he, the old 6 who committed the foul, became the hero? Isn't this a conjecture?
Actually not!
In the NCAA competition, the number of fouls accumulated in the half is 7-9. In other words, the three accumulated foul numbers of 7, 8, and 9 are based on the 1+1 free throw rule.

The first free throw was made, and there was a second free throw opportunity.

If the first free throw is missed, the second free throw opportunity is gone.

At this time, as Qin Yang fouled, Wake Forest University accumulated 7 fouls, and the Duke Blue Devils implemented the 1+1 free throw rule.

Of course, if the ball falls to JJ Redick or Chris Duhon, or even Dengtay Jones to execute the free throw, Tan Yang will most likely make a mistake.

But if it was Sheldon Williams, chances are the foul was correct.

It is true that Hong Kong's Sheldon Williams was among the top ten high school students in the class of 02, but he relied on his height of 2 meters and different weights. His offensive skills are very rough.

In the high school arena, when he stood on the court, it was like a college student beating a primary school student. It was such a fucking dimensionality-reducing blow.

But when it came to the NCAA college arena, Sheldon Williams' physical talent advantage was not so obvious, and instead his technical skills became a weakness.

Especially his shooting skills, out of the penalty area, are worse than O'Neal's shooting.

In the future, he was nicknamed "The Landlord". In addition to defensively, the three-second zone was all his territory, and opponents had to pay rent before entering. Offensively, he only relied on attacking the basket in the penalty area as his main scoring method. This is also the reason for his nickname. One of the origins.

Bang-dang——!
Standing on the free throw line, Sheldon Williams really couldn't attack outside the penalty area. He didn't even make free throws. He was soft on the first free throw and wasted.

"Missed!"

In the NBC commentary room, commentator Chris Ross shook his head and sighed.

“Wake Forest survived.

When Sheldon Williams missed the first free throw, there was no second free throw and the ball was back in Wake Forest's hands.

Who would have thought that Sheldon Williams, a top-02 high school student in the class of 10, would play so well when he entered the Duke Devils.

In contrast to Stoudemire, who was also in the top ten of the 02 class, entering the NBA and playing the best rookie performance, and Anthony's dominant performance in the NCAA.

The Duke Blue Devils have two top ten high school insiders, but they are unable to train them all, and they have become a crouching dragon and a phoenix.

Whether it is Sheldon Williams or Shafri Randolph, after joining the Duke Blue Devils, they played without any spirituality and no progress was visible to the naked eye. The Duke Blue Devils are simply the graveyard of superstars..."

At this time, the score was still 67-70, with 1 minute and 27 seconds left before the end of the game, and the ball belonged to Wake Forest University.

1 minute and 27 seconds, which is 87 seconds, theoretically, there are still three offensive rounds.

Wake Forest had two and Duke had one.

Wake Forest University, which was trailing by 3 points, needed to score both offensive possessions. Then, with the Duke Blue Devils on defense, it had a chance to reverse and defeat the Duke Blue Devils.

Even playing overtime would be quite detrimental to Wake Forest.

After clarifying the direction and goal, Qin Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt and chose to play a steady ball. He decided to score two points first and then kill his opponent in the next round.

"Qin Yang set the pace, obviously trying to improve his success rate!

Wake Forest had two offensive opportunities, so there was no need to gamble on a three-pointer.

Rick Williams pulled high again, setting a screen for Josh Howard.

Josh Howard moved to the right, and Tan Yang backed up, and then passed the ball to Josh Howard... No, there was no pass, just a feint shot. Tan Yang turned around, lifted the ball, and shot a three-pointer.

Chris Duhon was not shaken, he pounced on Tan Yang.

Bang-!
Tan Yang insisted on going up, and under the physical confrontation, with Chris Duhong's block, he raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."

For Chris Duhon, defense will be his foundation in the NBA in the future. However, this time, he met Qin Yang.

It's Tan Yang who injects the template of Kidd in his later years. Kidd is very good at using his body to bully the opponent's defense. As a defensive ceiling, his understanding of defense is several blocks beyond Chris Duhon.

No matter how good Chris Duhon's defense was, he never expected that Qin Yang would dare to force a shot in front of him, but the length was enough but out of reach. In a situation where he struggled with his body against strength and couldn't fight, Chris Duhon's defense was no matter how good he was. No matter how hard he tried, he could only bet that Tan Yang's three-point pistol had no bullets.

Tan Yang shot a three-pointer, landed, looked at the arc, and immediately turned around and raised his hands in celebration.

Swish-!
"In!!

Qin Yang hit a three-pointer.

Miraculously, after Tan Yang made a three-pointer, he celebrated in advance without waiting for the result.

This three-pointer was extremely hurtful and insulting.

Tan Yang controlled the entire game, it looked like a dimensionality reduction blow..."

70 to 70! !
In the last minute of the second half, Qin Yang hit a three-pointer to even the point difference. Wake Forest University and Duke University returned to the same starting line.

On the sidelines, Coach K stood up from his seat, crossed his arms over his chest, and did not call a timeout.

Just an equalizer!

Don't panic!
At this time, the Duke Basketball Devils players didn’t have any panic on their faces. One minute equals 1 seconds. There are still two rounds to go on defense?
Do not!
If they attack faster, it is very likely that they will squeeze out three rounds of defense.

After all, Wake Forest dared to bet on a shot at the buzzer?

Do not!
They dare not gamble.

Therefore, even if they don't score in the next round, the Duke Blue Devils still have the second round to attack and solve their opponents.

Moreover, the Duke Blue Devils can accept a tie and go into overtime to decide the outcome, but Wake Forest University definitely just wants to end the game in regular time.

No matter how you calculate it, the advantage is still with Duke University.

Will lose?
does not exist.

The only option is how the Duke Blue Devils beat Wake Forest.

On the court, Chris Duhon controlled the ball to the frontcourt, only to see Tan Yang pull up his trouser legs, lower his body, and slap his hands on the floor twice.

Bang bang——! !

"bring it on!
Come over here! "

Outside the court, the home audience saw that Qin Yang, who had just finished his work on offense, also stole the show on defense and continued to carry out the work to the end. They immediately booed Wake Forest University and Qin Yang like a tsunami. Then, a winning slogan was shouted.

"Duke Blue Devils, we will win!"

"Duke Blue Devils, we are the champions!!"

"..."

On the court, Chris Duhon turned over Deng Tai Jones's card. After all, Qin Yang had just provoked, and the Duke Devil had to retaliate in kind to show the anger and inability to provoke Duke, the dominant player in the ACC League.

Anyone who provokes will die.

However, outside the 70-degree three-point line on the left, Dengtai Jones received the ball and posed as a triple threat. Tan Yang took a step away and continued to fail to regard Dengtai Jones' three-point shot as alive.

"Tin Yang asked for a hammer, but Jones didn't?

Not daring to shoot three-pointers, Jones chose to break through with the ball and act like a fool.

Tan Yang automatically stepped forward to defend him.

Bang-!
It was Tan Yang who had the upper hand in the head-to-head confrontation again, but Jones was unstable in controlling the ball and was about to lose the basketball?
It was so dangerous that Tan Yang almost stole the ball. Dengtai Jones broke through to the basket and failed to score. Instead, Tan Yang forced him to protect the ball with his back. Then, he returned the basketball to Chris Duhong, and then led without the ball. Follow Tan Yang and move to the right..."

At this time, on the right side, JJ Redick had cut to the basket without the ball. After finding Shafri Randolph's screen, he then found Sheldon Williams on the left side of the basket to continue looking for a screen. Screen, throwing off Josh Howard for a multi-body position.

Seeing this situation, Chris Duhon stepped down and dribbled to the right, avoiding Justin Gray and pressing him to the left. He then made a back pass, moved the basketball to the left, and then waited for JJ Redick to be open. A three-point shot to kill the game.

However, suddenly Josh Howard flashed into the middle of the passing route of Chris Duhon and JJ Redick, and reached out to intercept Chris Duhon's pass.

Snapped--!
Copying the basketball, Josh Howard dribbled the ball without slowing down, quickly took three steps and then two, and rushed forward.

"Oh, it's embarrassing!

The Duke Blue Devils made a fatal low-level mistake and the basketball was interrupted!
As the MVP of this year's ACC regular season, Josh Howard completed a fatal steal and then launched a quick counterattack.

It was too fast, the distance was instantly widened, and the only thing left in front of Josh Howard was the basket..."

Bang-dang——!
Under the basket, Josh Howard rushed to the penalty area, jumped high, thrust his arm straight into the basket, and slammed the damn basketball into the basket.

72 to 70! !
After the goal, Josh Howard roared and beat his chest, rushed to the Wake Forest bench, clenched his fists in celebration.

At this moment, the Wake Forest bench also exploded.

Some people jumped up and shouted in joy, some waved towels, and some rushed over to jump in the air and bump chests with Josh Howard.

Overtaken!
Wake Forest University achieved a lead over the Duke Blue Devils at the end of the game.

"There are still 36 seconds left for Duke!
Coach K couldn't sit still anymore and asked for a timeout to arrange the final attack.

Wake Forest is only 36 seconds away from creating a miracle and winning the championship, and they can enjoy this leading moment. "
