Chapter 120 Attacking Hayward
Strictly speaking, Hayward cannot be regarded as the absolute main force of the Sun Devils.Xu Hao, who joined the team with him, holds the title of CUBA champion, and is also a strong supporter that Coach Evans invited all the way from China. In addition, he and Harden have a relationship that is more of a gay than a gay, so in the team His status among them is vaguely comparable to Harden's, and it's hard to say who is the boss of the team.

In addition, Ayers' status is also higher than that of Hayward.As the team's most powerful inside player and most reliable frame protector, Ayers' position in the tactical system is self-evident, not to mention that he is also one of the team's oldest players. Four years old, soon to graduate and participate in the draft, even Harden has to maintain a certain degree of respect in front of him.

But this does not mean that Hayward is not strong, otherwise Evans would not be able to try his best to cut off from other schools.If at the beginning of this season, Hayward was still not adapting to the intensity of the NCAA due to various reasons, now he has performed with ease, averaging 12.3 points per game and ranking fourth in the team bit.

It's just that Xu Hao and Harden's brilliance is too strong, and Hayward is forced to take the fourth position because of the lineup. It seems that he is not as brilliant as his teammates, but in fact his strength must not be underestimated. watch for.

But now the Trojans made a mistake unintentionally. They focused their defense on Xu Hao and Harden, and at the same time watched Ayers inside.Perhaps from the bottom of their hearts, they think that Hayward is not a threat. After all, DeRozan ranked much higher than Hayward when he graduated from high school. What is this thin-looking white man?
So they quickly paid for it.As the two best passers in the Sun Devils, Xu Hao and Harden did not forcefully try to score when encountering the opponent's key defense, but constantly passed the ball to mobilize the opponent's defense, and then gave the ball to the reliable In the hands of his teammates, let them complete the final blow, and just brush up the assists by themselves.

Originally, Xu Hao's first choice for passing the ball was Ayers on the inside, but USC's bald Gibson was not a vegetarian.He's only one class below Ayers, so there's not a huge gap in experience.Moreover, Gibson's style is extremely tough, and his defensive ability is also outstanding. With him restraining him in the interior, Ayers was stuck in position most of the time, unable to free his hands to catch the ball.

If so, change someone!Cooks is certainly a good choice, but he seems to have forgotten his touch in Phoenix in this game. His personal statistics are already 4 for 0 shots. It is better to count on Ayers to grab a few more offensive rebounds. Reliable.Then there is only one person left in the team's starting five-Gordon Hayward.

Harden has expressed his dissatisfaction with Hayward in private more than once. He believes that this guy's skills are average and his confrontation ability is not strong.However, in Xu Hao's view, Hayward is still very talented. Although he can only see his own ability value in the system, Xu Hao has a high evaluation of Hayward because of his cooperation in virtual training. This is a guy with a high golf quotient, which means he plays very smartly, and Hayward's shooting and confrontation ability are not as bad as imagined.

Originally, Harden wanted to force himself, but Xu Hao insisted on giving Hayward some opportunities.Harden reserved his opinion on this, but he did not disagree with Xu Hao. After all, he is the team's shooting guard, and Xu Hao is the team's main point guard.

Soon Hayward found that he had more chances to make calls. He looked at Xu Hao who passed the ball to him in surprise, but his expression was a little excited.The reason why he can raise his scoring average to double digits is largely due to his grasp of shooting opportunities. The number of shots is actually not as many as Cooks, but the situation seems to be a little different now.

The outside players of the Trojans are a little at a loss. The players who are defending with all their strength can't score, and they frequently send assists to their teammates. Is it necessary for me to keep watching?Is it to cut off the passing lanes while defending?This is too difficult, right?
Floyd didn't quickly discover his tactical mistakes. When he came to his senses, Hayward's touch was already scorching hot. Even if someone occasionally interfered in front of him, he would shoot whatever he wanted, completely ignoring him. The opponent's outstretched arm.For a brief period, Hayward looked like the Sun Devils' No. [-] star, and his scoring continued to climb.

Seeing him constantly putting the ball into the basket in various ways on the court, Floyd mentally scolded the coaching staff's video analyst: Who told you that the Arizona Sun Devils were a A dual-core team?Are you so blind?Are you willing to ignore such a threatening scorer?Are you an undercover agent sent by the other side?

But Floyd also knows that it is unreasonable to throw the blame on the video analyst. As the head coach, he also did not see the talent of this white guy. He can only say that the vision of the opponent's head coach is too thieves. I don't know where to get the embryo of such a super scorer.Oh, by the way, there is also their starting point guard, the Chinese, the average team would laugh at one of them, but you actually have two, plus Harden and Ayers, Floyd Feeling bad all over.

Even so, he does not intend to surrender early. Seeing that the first half of the game is coming to an end, he plans to arrange new tactics for the players during the intermission. As for the last minute or so, let them Play for free!
However, Floyd soon regretted not calling a timeout earlier. In the remaining time, Hayward scored 5 points in a row from inside and outside, helping the Sun Devils end the first half 52-40. game.

Looking at the numbers on the scoreboard, Floyd was so depressed that he wanted to cry. As for being chased and beaten like this?After all, our USC Trojans are a strong and resounding team. Let’s see how we reverse the situation on the field in the second half!

Xu Hao and the others obviously couldn't hear Floyd's voice, because they were still immersed in the praise of Hayward, and even Evans patted him on the shoulder with a smile, making Hayward's His face flushed with excitement.

Xu Hao on the side couldn't help laughing, Mengxin is Mengxin, such a little encouragement is like a chicken blood.Boy, take it easy, there are still many big scenes in the future, and this is just the beginning for you.
