047: He dominated halftime (4k(2/2)
Paul's face turned dark with anger. Oh...it was already dark. But now it does look darker than usual.
The referee took away the basketball and signaled both sides to go to the center circle to compete for the ball.
Paul knew that the result of this scrimmage was crucial to the game.
If he can't quickly reduce the point difference to single digits, the game will really hang in the balance.
But looking at Wayne...
Paul wished he had a bench under his feet.
The referee walked between the two people who were ready and raised the basketball.
Before he could throw it away, Paul suddenly jumped up and kept leaning on Wayne.
"Calm down Chris, it hasn't started yet!" the referee warned Paul, and Paul nodded and returned to his original position.
People who don't know better think that Paul was too nervous.
But Wayne doesn't think so. Can there be any tension about Pao'er?
This guy is deliberately interfering with himself!
The second time, when the referee raised the basketball again, Paul jumped again.
And this time, he hit Wayne's chest directly with his shoulder.
"Chris!"
"I'm sorry, I'm so excited." Paul waved his hands, thinking that Wayne must have no rhythm at all now.
Finally, for the third time, the referee threw the ball into the air. Paul jumped high immediately. His bounce speed and jumping height during this period were quite explosive.
But... I saw that Wayne didn't even jump, he just stood on tiptoes slightly and then waved his palm vigorously, and flew the racket directly into the Wake Forest half.
Over there, Graham had already started. He caught up with the basketball and broke into the penalty area before anyone else could react.
Wake Forest guard Justin Gray quickly pursued the defense, but was directly pushed away by the strong Graham and completed a dunk.
Really. Poor man's version of James.
With a score difference of 15 points, some Wake Forest fans in the stands had red eyes.
"Oh, did you dance, Chris? Or did you make yourself lose the rhythm?" Wayne shrugged at Paul, with an expression like "I didn't expect that I would win in a casual argument."
Paul clenched his fists. He really wanted to jump up and hit Wayne on the knee.
There was more than a minute left on the clock and the score difference became 15 points.
Wake Forest, which was favored by more people before the game, was only a hair away from being eliminated.
That’s why March Madness is so attractive.
"If the Cowboys win today's game successfully, I believe Wayne's position in the mock draft will rise. His performance today was perfect!"
"Yes, he showed his excellent mid-range skills. He also proved how reliable he is when serving as the core! The Illinois Three Musketeers must be careful, this time, there is something bad coming!"
The commentators have already assumed that the Cowboys will advance, but the fire of victory in Paul's heart has not been completely extinguished.
He couldn't accept such an ending, and he couldn't fall before meeting Deron.
He doesn't want to lose, he hates losing!
This time, Paul used a beautiful sudden change of direction to get rid of Tony and went straight into the penalty area.
The fire in his heart is burning for the final time!
As soon as Paul stepped into the three-second zone, he found Wayne lifting up.
Without hesitation, Paul released the basketball with an extremely soft throw.
This is his last chance to save face and save the situation.
As a point guard with a height of only 1.83 meters, Paul's floater is his biggest weapon after breaking into the three-second zone.
He really enjoys the feeling of the basketball passing over the fingertips of the big players and then falling into the net. This always gives him a sense of accomplishment.
However, before the basketball reached its highest point, Wayne was already rushing towards him.
He had known that Paul would not foolishly rush to the basket and die, so he took the initiative and defeated Paul this time!
"Snapped!"
Paul's throw hit Wayne's palm, and Wayne used a signature volleyball block to crush Paul's dream of promotion!
The basketball was like a cannonball, suddenly ejected from the penalty area. That crisp sound could not be dissipated in Paul's ears for a long time.
"Successful, Wei blocked the throw himself! In this head-on confrontation, Wayne had the last laugh! In the end, it was Wayne who ended it all! This was an incredible half, remember him
, Big Wayne, Ohio! The Western cowboys are running rampant everywhere!"
The commentator roared and the fans cheered.
Wayne even felt the stadium floor shaking because of the warm atmosphere.
"Hahahaha, so you still have to watch Xiao Wei at the critical moment!" Director Zhang also danced with the fans.
At first, he thought Wayne might not be able to participate in the draft.
But looking at it now, it’s not impossible for Wayne to enter the Little Green Room!
What about Paul?
He finally calmed down and froze in place.
He lost, he lost completely.
He lost this crucial round of 32 match in the most shameful way.
Being dunked, being blocked, being stood up for the ball... Paul felt angry when he thought of all the scenes tonight.
But what's the use of anger? He can only end this season with such anger and unwillingness.
Wake Forest called timeout again, and they seemed to be struggling to the death.
But at the scene, no one cared about Wake Forest players and coaches.
All Cowboys fans are celebrating the victory in advance!
After more than a minute, the game officially ended.
Paul, who fought until the last second, looked up at the big screen. 58 to 73, the Cowboys finally maintained the 15-point difference until the end.
In the second half of the game, Wake Forest allowed the Cowboys to score 43 points, and Wayne's scores and assists accounted for nearly half of the 43 points!
After scoring 17 points and 11 risks in the previous game, this rising star continues to shine in March Madness!
"Wayne! Wayne! Wayne! Wayne!"
Listening to all the fans chanting Wayne's name, Paul lowered his head.
58 points...he probably won't forget this number for a long time.
The moment the game ended, Wayne was surrounded by his teammates.
It can be said that without Wayne's heroic attack and hard work in the second half, there would be no Cowboys home victory.
At the same time, the system also reminded Wayne: "The temporary mission is completed, and the B-level lottery bag has been put into the backpack."
Wayne couldn't help but laugh.
Chapter completed!
