You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 63 The Courage to Start Over

Gordon blushed, trying to find a place to bury himself.

The game is not over yet, but Villanueva has proved that they are not a team that Gordon can win with four substitutes.

With the strength shown by Wei Xia (enough to prevent him from dying), with four substitutes, Kangda may create the worst battle in school history.

Due to the gap encountered in actual combat, Gordon has not been able to find a game method that allows him to play calmly.

He "disappeared" again.

In desperation, Calhoun allowed Rashard Anderson to take possession.

With multiple ball-holding points, Kangda is not the only one who can play.

Anderson's jumper from the free throw line was blocked by Randy Foye.

The ball hits the back of the rim, and Emeka Okafor and Josh Boone work together to get the rebound out.

Tariq Brown, who had been inaccurate in the first half, caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.

hit!

Gordon turned off, but the others recovered their form. From this ball, Connecticut opened the curtain of counterattack.

Okafor is attacking from a low position. As the top pick in this year's draft, his every move has caught the hearts of many people.

The emotional out-of-control reaction after being fouled by Wei Xia in the first half is not a deduction item.

In the eyes of scouts, it is a manifestation of responsibility.

But now, Connecticut is behind Villanova, and his decisive strategy of killing with the ball is also a manifestation of responsibility.

Facing Okafor's strong attack, all Jason Fraser can do is to seek opportunities to block shots under the opponent's strong attack.

Okafor didn't give him any chances.

With a beautiful footstep, he wiped people away, and hit the board with the ball in his right hand.

Half a minute later, Josh Boonson grabbed an offensive rebound and elbowed Mike Nader for a dunk.

The New Yorkers at the scene were excited, this is their favorite game.

The dynamism of Connecticut's offense made for an entertaining game.

Villanova's performance is certainly respectable, but the fans are not experts, all they need is the best viewing experience.This point, Villanova can not give, their team's best dunk Frazier averaged only 8 points.

This means that even if all 8 points come from dunks, there are only 4 dunks at most in a game.

Wei Xia likes dunks in fast breaks, but his dunks are so entertaining. Will future fans look at Stephen Curry's dunks from an admiring perspective?Admit it, soul light!You just want to see Curry slam into the frontcourt and slip when he is about to dunk, and then run to the bottom corner and make a three-point shot with no touch to make up the biggest embarrassing scene of the year.

When Connecticut was chasing points, Villanueva also responded offensively.

Wei Xia, who had previously shot three non-stick shots, made an empty cut layup, and bullied Okafor's defense and was attracted by others.

Mike Nader pulled up to the three-point line for a three-pointer.

Three-point shooting has always been his characteristic. He can play power forward, has good rebounding ability, and his long-range shooting accuracy is simply a sharpshooter level for a power forward.

The most exciting moment came when Aaron Ray imitated Weixia and charged into the penalty area with the ball, causing Okafor's third personal foul.

The strong counterattack of the Huskies provoked the full resistance of the Wildcats.

Halfway through the second half, the Wildcats still held the initiative.

53 is better than 50
The 3-point advantage must be kept no matter what.

Ben Gordon wanted to find his offensive status, but he was completely out of status by Wecha

If there are insiders who can pick and roll for him, he can get rid of Wecha's defense.

The problem is, if he picks and rolls for him, Connecticut's frontcourt advantage doesn't exist. When the inside line goes to the outside pick and roll, Okafor and Boone don't have much shooting ability.

If it is Gordon in normal times, Calhoun is willing to sacrifice his inside advantage to be a green leaf for him.

And tonight, he was fooled by Wei Xia.

Just looking at this game, I am afraid no one believes that Ben Gordon has the prospect of being a top five pick in the first round.

The obsessed Gordon fell into the trap of Weixia and his teammates, was double-teamed and wanted to play the ball.

As soon as he caught the ball, Wei Xia shot it into the air, and what happened next disappointed Cajon.

Wei Xia caught up with the basketball, and Gordon chased him back. He didn't see that the opponent deliberately slowed down and waited for him to catch up. He even stupidly stretched out his hand before the opponent completed the barely slam dunk. In addition to adding a background board to the counter-slam dunk, which was not exciting at all, he also presented an extra free throw.

Wesha free throw line, Calhoun replaced Gordon, replaced by another Brown - Denham Brown.

Brown is a common surname in the United States, but two people with the same surname in the same team are most likely brothers.

Denham is Tariq's younger brother.

Durham is much taller than his brother, Talek can play two guard positions, and Denham can play three perimeter positions.

With Gordon under, Talik is the main point guard, and Denham fills his brother's position. Connecticut's lineup is still overflowing with talent.

Wei Xia failed to grasp the additional penalty.

55 is better than 50
With less than 10 minutes left, the Wildcats led by 5 points.

Tariq is not as tall as Gordon, he has more speed and better movement, and he is more like a point guard.

Taking the ball to the frontcourt, he knew that he had 30 seconds to attack, so he patiently dribbled the ball in and killed a circle before going out, passing the ball to Rashard Anderson, who has a deadly three-point shooting.

Anderson's follow-up three-pointer was pocketed hollowly.

53 is better than 55
Being chased to 2 points, the Wildcats' offense became embarrassing.

They are afraid of missing shots and dare not take responsibility. If they miss, what awaits them is Connecticut's counterattack.

The basketball was passed in the hands of everyone, and no one dared to make a shot.

25 seconds passed!

Wei Xia ran to the top of the arc and asked for the ball.

Sure enough, the ball was passed.

This scene reminded him of Kobe's four consecutive deadly air balls against the Jazz in the playoffs in his rookie season.

Those four shots caused him to receive a lot of criticism, and Harris' defense of Bryant was deliberately ignored by the media.

"Kobe was the only one who had the guts to shoot the ball at that time!"

Wei Xia didn't expect that he would be the only one in the team who had the guts to shoot, let alone a three-pointer?
Don't forget, he was stimulated by Gordon before and shot the same air ball as Kobe.

It's different now.

He knew it had to be him!
The moment his three-pointer left his finger, he knew in his heart that the ball would not go in.The miraculous thing happened half a second later, Wei Xia seemed to have seen the picture of the next few seconds, and walked ahead of time, he went in the direction that guided him deep in his heart-his shot hit the right side of the backboard, and if no one appeared, the ball would definitely go out of bounds.This may be a good thing, for the team that missed the shot, it is better to rebound out of bounds than to fight back after being protected by the opponent.

But Wei Xia's miraculous prediction made the story of "it should be" a turning point, just like the same dull life——

"Wish magically appears on the offensive rebound!"

"He made a shot the moment he grabbed the rebound!"

"Emeka didn't react! Josh didn't react! Except Wish himself, no one else reacted!"

"Goal in! Ladies and gentlemen! Goal in! The Wildcats continue to maintain a 4-point lead!"

After Wei Xia completed the shocking tip-up, he shouted at his teammates while returning to defense: "Guys, I know what you are worried about. I want to say that those worries are unnecessary. Only our fears will make the things we worry about come true. At this moment, we are not far from the Big East championship!"

"The last thing we should have right now is fear!"

Wei Xia stood at the top of the arc and pointed at Tariq Brown in front, "I'm right here, I promise I will steal him this round!"

After 6 seconds, Wish did what he said, and when he succeeded in stealing Tariq Brown, the morale of the Wildcats was completely ignited.
