Bang-dang-clang--!
At the Rupp Arena, bursts of blacksmith music sounded.
The fans and spectators in the stadium did not feel any violation at all. They were used to the Wildcats' blacksmithing show.
Of course, if Kentucky can't make a field goal, Wake Forest can't even try to make it.
Fortunately, the pace of the game has increased very quickly, and there are many offensive and defensive rounds, so it doesn’t feel boring at all.
In the 7th minute of the game, Subei finally found its second scoring opportunity.
In the offensive round of Wake Forest University, Chris Paul continued... I burst, I burst, I flashed the MMD tactics, and forced a frontal burst, which caused Gerald Fitch's defensive foul.
With three fouls on his body, Gerrard Fei became helpless when defending Paul. It was like being on the street in the early morning. Paul passed him cleanly. Azubuike's defense in the first few minutes made Su Bei calm down and stepped forward with confidence. Go to the rescue.
"Chris, pass the ball with your back. At this time, you dare to do this kind of action. It's so unexpected. This is the role of a superstar..."
In the corner area on the left, Su Bei received the ball. Under the panicked expression of Randolph Morris, he lifted the ball, jumped up, stayed in the air, and made a two-point jump shot. With a swoosh, he hit the goal accurately.
His personal score came to 5 points.
17 to 19! !
At this time, Wake Forest is still 2 points behind Kentucky.
Off the court, Orlando Smith couldn't sit still and immediately called a short timeout, allowing Joe Crawford, who is 1.93 meters tall, to take over the defensive task of Gerald Fitch and switch to guard Chris Paul, starting a wheel battle. .
At the same time, he copied Chris Paul's work and asked Azubuike to wait for Wake Forest University's weak forward line to attack and cause damage.
On Wake Forest's side, the tactics have not been adjusted.
Back in the game, Kentucky is on offense.
Gerald Fitch was forced by Paul again and passed the ball to Azubuike. Azubuike received the ball and forced a breakthrough. He was fast and strong, and Su Bei fought and retreated.
Azubuike rushed to the penalty area and charged towards Su Bei. Seeing that the defense was about to fall, Su Bei could only foul first.
The rhythm of the game continued intermittently like this. The University of Kentucky still had the ball. Azubuike took the ball from the sideline and continued to dominate the Jiangsu North side.
“Kailana Azubuike wants to get back at Su Bei!
He's dark and tough and can really break up Wake Forest's forward line..."
In addition, Wake Forest University's forward line is not strong.
Snapped--!
Su Bei suddenly stepped forward and reached out to steal the ball. He was quick and accurate. After getting the basketball from Azubuike, he was about to counterattack.
At this time, the whistle sounded, and the referee whistled that Su Bei had committed a foul first.
“Subei committed continuous fouls and the defense seemed unable to stop Kelana Azubuike’s impact.
Huh! In the first half, Wake Forest University accumulated 7 fouls, so Kelana Azubuike had to implement the 1+1 free throw rule. "
"If I remember correctly, the University of Kentucky's free throw shooting percentage as a team is only 70%!"
So, standing at the free throw line, Azubuike missed his first free throw.
"How can this University of Kentucky's shooting be so bad that they can't even shoot free throws?"
Sending sub-questions is also fatal.
That's not surprising, as Kentucky is notoriously poor at free throw shooting.
For example, Chuck Hayes is notorious for not being able to shoot, but his free throw percentage is less than 72%, and he is still the player with the highest free throw percentage at the University of Kentucky.
All we can say is that the head coach of the University of Kentucky, Orlando Smith, is a talent. I don’t know if his words sound good or not, but he definitely has a grudge against the star.
In his coaching team, the first priority is defense. Stars should not expect to have excellent offensive data. Even players who can attack, like Azubuike, are turned around by him and let him use defensive methods to play games and games. Win.
In his last team, most of the players he recruited were trained to become defensive blue-collar players. Players like Prince were his favorite.
So the players he recruited all seemed to be weirdos.
Hayes can't shoot, Rondo can't, and Azubuike can't... There are many benefits.
If you hit the iron a lot, it's easiest to practice rebounding.
It can't be said that it is the same reason, but it must be reasonable.
Hayes has become the player who is the best rebounder among the shortest centers. Rondo, nicknamed by many people, is the second best rebounder among point guards.
The only point guard he lost to was Westbrook who came out of the sewer.
On the field, Wake Forest offense.
Chris Paul took the ball to the frontcourt and found that the player guarding him became Joe Crawford, and he didn't play.
"Chris, pass the ball to Justin Gray. This is a winning pursuit. Don't let Gerald Fitch go!"
"Justin Gray caught the ball and broke through against Gerald Fitch..."
Gerald Fitch was not stupid, but he had scruples in defense. Gray broke through smoothly, and Azubuike came to wipe his ass again.
Justin Gray did not make a strong move and passed the ball to the open Su Bei. Unfortunately, he was much worse than Chris Paul, and his passing intention was too obvious. By the time Su Bei received the basketball, he had already missed the shot opportunity.
"Su Bei passed the ball and Eric Williams was under the basket. At this time, the only thing left in front of him was the basket..."
Bang-dang——!
Su Bei assisted Eric Williams for a dunk, bringing the scores back to the same starting line.
Off the court, Orlando Smith looked a little ugly and called out Rajon Rondo who was sitting on the bench to warm up and prepare to play.
On the field, the University of Kentucky attacked and Gerald Fitch passed the ball to Azubuike, which immediately caused Su Bei and Justin Gray to press.
Unable to grab the basketball, Justin Gray immediately fouled and sent Azubuike to the free throw line for a free throw. The 1+1 free throw rule was still implemented.
"Here it goes again, Wake Forest University is using the NCAA free throw rule against the Wildcats. It is obvious that it was fully accurate before the game."
"Just from a comparison of the head coaching position, Wake Forest University coach Skip Prosser's coaching ability is definitely much better than Orlando Smith."
"Orlando Smith has been resting on his laurels. In addition to winning an NCAA championship in 1999, in the following years, the University of Kentucky had a good hand, but it played worse and worse..."
"Before the free throws, the University of Kentucky made personnel adjustments and replaced the talented point guard Rajon Rondo with Gerald Fitch, who had three fouls on his back."
Center Long finally made his appearance.
At the free throw line, Azubuike missed his first free throw again.
Bang-dang——!
I can't imagine that Azubuike was an offensive player who averaged 38 points per game in high school, and now he can't even make free throws.
Later, a reporter asked him about his college basketball career. He only said that at the University of Kentucky, his defense had been strengthened and his offense did not even mention a word. It was obviously too much to look back on.
On the field, Wake Forest offensive possessions.
With Rondo on the field, Su Bei was better offensively in this round.
Chris Paul thought Rajon Rondo was easy to bully and wanted to break through from him. Unexpectedly, Rondo almost broke the basketball.
Chris Paul kept the basketball, but failed to establish an advantage. In the end, Paul broke through, opened up space, and made a pull-up jumper that missed.
Hayes acted as a "card forward" again, and Rondo grabbed the first rebound.
And this was just the beginning of Rondo's performance. In the offensive round of the University of Kentucky, Rondo stood at the top arc. As the dealer, he sent a scalpel pass and assisted Randolph Morris who cut into the basket. , easily hitting the board and hitting two points.
19 to 21! !
