Chapter 63 Unprecedented bastard
"Oh my God! This ball!" The commentator's voice turned into exclamation marks to fill Madison Gardens, "Wish's luck is so good!"
"What luck!"
Jerry Wayne shouted: "That's his strength!"
Thank you, grandpa, but that's really luck.
When Wei Xia heard his grandfather roaring at the commentator, he said something in his heart, and then his teammates were excited to tilt their bodies.
38 to 33
At the end of the half, Villanova unexpectedly led Connecticut.
As long as you play in a strong team, Wei Xia will play all the game, and tonight is no exception.
Jay Wright knew that Wei Xia needed a rest, but after watching the game, he couldn't leave Wei Xia.
In this half, Wei Xia scored 12 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.
Judging from the data alone, he is the Wildcats' main offensive point and defensive core, and also helped catch many rebounds.
What the data cannot reflect is that he allowed Connecticut's outside core Ben Gordon to score only 5 points in the first half.
You know, Gordon scored 5 points in the first five minutes of the game. Did he suddenly get killed in the next 15 minutes? Of course not, Wei Xia's defense against him changed from being a one-on-one full-game press.
He couldn't get rid of Wei Xia, and he had to spend a lot of energy to get rid of the defense.
He spent all his energy on getting rid of Wei Xia, so of course he couldn't create any scoring opportunities.
Gordon is a popular draft this year, and none of the recent draft prediction lists ranked him in the top five.
Just locked by Wei Xia.
The scouts on the scene need to reevaluate Wei Xia's defense. He not only did a good job of single defense, but also locked up one of the best defenders in NCAA, but also stole Emecca Okafoo through double-teams.
His defense was better than expected.
"Knight, do you think the performance in the first half will improve Wish's draft market?" Tim Brando asked his partner.
For players who performed well in the first half, the commentator's midfield summary always takes the form of praise.
The same is true for Knight Ouges.
"He once again proved his excellence. Wish had never encountered a real reference challenge before. But tonight, he was facing one of the best guards in college basketball. The report card he handed over was to give the opponent only 5 points in the first half. This was an amazing performance, and what surprised me even more was his physical fitness. He was always in sports, but at the end of the first half, he looked like he had just finished the warm-up. You can look at Ben Gordon, he looked almost suffocating, and Wish could continue playing at any time." Uggis smiled, "I know now why coach Wright didn't even blink when he made Wish play the whole game."
Jay Wright said in the locker room: "Don't think a 5-point lead is enough, it's still far from winning!"
So in the second half, Allen Ray's breakthrough passed the ball to Wei Xia, who ran to the free throw line.
When Wei Xia took the ball with both hands, he pretended to shake several Connecticut players. Since he jumped into the air, everyone decided that he was going to shoot. As a result, he just passed the ball quickly to Jason Fraser with a jump pass.
The unexpected pass made Fraser forcefully get points.
40 to 33
Villanova's lead reached 7 points, and Weisha continued to press against Ben Gordon in the whole game.
After 20 minutes of halftime break, his mentality has returned to a steady state. Wei Xia not only scored more than him, but also had more rebounds and steals than him. The role of both offense and defense is far greater than him.
Kahon used this matter to suppress Gordon's arrogance and made him a husky who clamped his tail and made him a dog. He should never underestimate his opponent again.
The two inside players at the University of Connecticut, Emecca Okafor and Josh Boone, frequently took the position, and the news was caused by them on both sides.
Gordon passed the ball, Boone received the ball, pushed it, and turned around as if he treated Mike Nadir's defense as a wooden stake without any intentions.
It is natural that underestimates the opponent's attack will not have any results.
His ball was cut off and unfortunately fell into the hands of the most capable person in the game - Wei Xia picked up the opponent's drop and launched a defensive counterattack, which made the Eskimo dog unable to resist.
Three seconds later, 42 to 33.
"Is Connecticut just collapsed like this?" Brando's question was also the question of the majority of fans.
Connecticut is a popular national champion. Now he can’t even win the championship in the division championship. Why do you want to compete for the national championship?
Kahon stood excitedly on the sidelines and whistled, with his hands comparing gestures that only his players could understand.
Okafor ran out of the basket to help Gordon, who was entangled by Wei Xia, with a strong body as hard as a turtle shell.
Gordon took the ball and rushed to the paint area. Fraser's height made him dare not forcefully rush to the penalty area.
Outside the paint area, he forced himself to pull up with his physical fitness, and Fraser's interference was in place, but Gordon's shot was still hit.
The height, the instant after being pulled up, and the explosive bounce speed created an emergency stop jump shot that was difficult to block.
After fighting with these high-level strong players, Weisha believed that if John Haflicke played in modern times, he would not be as comfortable as he did in the 1960s and 1970s.
His physical fitness is indeed a flaw.
He practiced a shot after the game, but his poor explosiveness would cause him to be seriously disturbed in modern games.
In order to avoid blocking, Wei Xia specially practiced high-arc shooting, but once the opponent rode his face with strong explosive power, he did not have the ability of Ben Gordon to score forcibly.
That is why Ben Gordon predicted that the draft will rank in the top five, and even if Wei Xia beat him halftime, the scouts will still not put him in the top ten.
Potential and upper limit are things that are visible but intangible.
Gordon's shot caused Wei Xia's mentality to be slightly affected.
The next round, Connecticut's defense missed him and his teammate's ball was passed to his position.
He is in an open position and can't do it without investing, but his body is not ready.
One three-pointer, three-pointer.
"Sao Rui!"
Wei Xia shouted loudly, turned around and stuck Ben Gordon.
"I feel much better when I see your Sanbushi." Gordon finally regained his confidence.
"Is that true?" Wei Xia gave confrontations in succession, "It's so shameful?"
"You guy is such a weird guy!"
The two of them fought from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and Gordon suddenly jumped and passed to Okafor at the forty-five degrees on the right.
After the ball was released, Gordon said: "Why should I hope you will be well?"
"Because you're kind."
"Good? Me?"
Gordon has been a human being for the first time in his 21 years.
"You previously claimed that you could beat us by taking the substitute. Although you were unwilling to admit it, there was indeed a huge gap between us. It was your words that inspired me and my teammates, so we could perform at a higher level." Wei Xia said lightly, "You are really kind."
Okafor succeeded in attacking, and Gordon was so embarrassed that Wei Xia couldn't say a word.
He was only sure now that the mockery that Wei Xia had in every word he said so far was not his illusion, but it was real.
"wish" did say those words to him with contempt.
What an unprecedented bastard, how could there be such a person?
