You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 62 The Unprecedented Asshole

"Oh my god! This goal!" The commentator's voice turned into exclamation points filling Madison Garden, "Wish's luck is really good!"

"What luck!"

Jerry Wayne yelled: "That's his strength!"

Thanks grandpa, but that was really luck.

When Wei Xia heard his grandfather yelling at the commentator, he said something in his heart, and then he was knocked sideways by his excited teammates.

38 is better than 33
At halftime, Villanova surprisingly led Connecticut.

As long as it is a strong team, Wei Xia will play full, and tonight is no exception.

Jay Wright knew that Wei Xia needed to rest, but after watching the game, it was really impossible to leave Wei Xia.

In this half, Wei Xia scored 12 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.

Judging from the statistics alone, he is the main offensive point and defensive core of the Wildcats, and he also helps catch a lot of rebounds.

What the data can't reflect is that he allowed Connecticut's perimeter core Ben Gordon to score only 5 points in the half.

You know, Gordon scored 5 points in the first 5 minutes of the game.After 15 minutes of no results, is it a sudden murderous intention?Of course not, Wei Xia's defense against him has changed from man-to-man marking to one-on-one pressing.

He couldn't get rid of Wei Xia, and he had to spend a lot of energy to get rid of the defense.

All his strength was spent on getting rid of Wei Xia, and of course he couldn't create any scoring opportunities.

Gordon is a favorite in this year's draft. None of the recent draft prediction lists ranked him in the top five.

Just like that, it was locked by Wei Xia.

The scouts on the scene need to re-evaluate Weixia's defense. Not only did he do a good job in single defense, he locked up one of the best guards in the NCAA, and he also double-teamed and stole one of Emeka Okafor.

His defense was even better than expected.

"Nate, do you think the performance in the first half will improve Wish's draft stock?" Tim Brando asked his partner.

For players who performed well in the first half, the commentator's half-time summary will always take the form of praise.

The same goes for Nate Uggis.

"He proved his excellence again. Wish has never faced a real reference challenge before. But tonight, he faced one of the best guards in college basketball, and he handed over his report card. The opponent only scored 5 points in the first half. It was an amazing performance, and I was even more surprised by his physical fitness. "I now know why Coach Wright didn't even bat an eye when he made Wish play the whole court," Si laughed.

Jay Wright said in the locker room: "Don't think that a 5-point lead is enough, it is far from winning!"

So in the second half, Allen Ray made a breakthrough and passed the ball to Weixia who ran to the free throw line.

With the ball in both hands, Wesha faked several Connecticut players, and because he jumped into the air, everyone assumed he was going to shoot.It turned out that he just passed the ball quickly to Jason Frazier in a jump pass situation.

An unexpected pass allowed Frazier to score points.

40 is better than 33
Villanova's lead reached 7 points, and Wecha continued to press on Ben Gordon.

After a 20-minute halftime break, his mentality has stabilized. Wei Xia not only scored more than him, but also had more rebounds and steals than him, and his offensive and defensive effects far exceeded his.

Calhoun took advantage of this incident to severely suppress Gordon's arrogance, letting him act like a husky with his tail tucked up like a dog, and never underestimate his opponent again.

The two insiders of the University of Connecticut, Emeka Okafor and Josh Boone frequently asked for positions, and there were disturbances from them on the left and right sides.

Gordon throws the ball, Boone catches it, bumps it up, turns around like he's treating Mike Nader's defense like a mindless stake.

Naturally, underestimating the opponent's attack like this will not have any results.

His ball was dropped by the knife, and unfortunately fell into the hands of the most capable runner in the game-Weicha picked up the opponent's dropped ball and launched a defensive counterattack, which made the Huskies unable to parry.

Three seconds later, 42 to 33.

"Did Connecticut just collapse like this?" Brando's question was also the question of the fans.

Connecticut is a favorite for the national championship. Now that they can't even win the division championship, why should they fight for the national championship?
Calhoun stood excitedly on the sidelines and whistled, making gestures with his hands that only his players could understand.

Okafor ran out from the basket and helped Gordon, who was entangled by Wesha, to pick and roll.The strong body is as hard as a turtle shell.

Gordon rushed to the paint with the ball, and Frazier's height prevented him from rushing into the penalty area.

Outside the paint area, he forcibly pulled up with his physical fitness. Frazier's interference was in place, but Gordon's shot still made a hit.

The height, the height immediately after pulling it up, and the explosive bullet speed have created an emergency stop jumper that is difficult to block.

After fighting against these high-level strong players, Wei Xia believes that if John Havlicek plays in modern times, he should not be as comfortable as he was in the 60s and 70s.

His physical fitness is indeed flawed.

He developed a one-handed shot in the later stage, but his poor explosiveness will seriously interfere with him in modern games.

In order to avoid the block, Wei Xia specially practiced a high arc shot, but once the opponent rides the face with a strong explosive power, he does not have the ability to score forcibly like Ben Gordon.

That's why Ben Gordon predicted that the draft will be in the top five, and even if Wei Xia blows up his half-court ball, the scouts still won't put him in the top ten.

Potential and upper limit are things that can be seen but not touched.

Gordon's shot slightly affected Wei Xia's mentality.

On the next possession, Connecticut's defense widened him and a teammate passed the ball to him.

It's impossible not to shoot when you are open, but his body is not ready.

A three-point shot, three non-stick.

"Saury!"

Wei Xia shouted loudly, turned around and stuck to Ben Gordon.

"I feel much better seeing your non-stick behavior." Gordon finally regained his confidence.

"Really?" Wei Xia continued to confront, "It's so shameful?"

"You guys are such a weirdo!"

The two confronted from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and Gordon suddenly jumped and passed to Okafor at a 45-degree angle on the right.

After the ball, Gordon said: "Why should I wish you well?"

"Because you are kind."

"Kindness? Me?"

Gordon has been a man for 21 years, and this is the first time he has been said to be kind.

"You claimed before that you could beat us with a substitute. Although you don't want to admit it, there is indeed a huge gap between us. It is your words that inspired me and my teammates, so we can perform at a super level." Wei Xia said lightly, "You are really kind."

Okafor made a strong attack, and Gordon was too embarrassed by Weixia to say a word.

He is only now sure that the sarcasm in every sentence that Wei Xia has said to him so far is not his illusion, but real.

"Wish" indeed spoke those words to him with contempt.

What an unprecedented bastard, how could there be such a person?
