The Devils fans at the scene screamed, this action is really hot!
During the Devils' half, Sandek also pumped his fist in excitement.
If you dare to let go, I can enter.
These two three-pointers boosted morale so much!
O'Neal stretched out his hand to call a timeout and looked at Bayless with a dissatisfied look on his face.
Forget about one three-pointer, now it’s two three-pointers in a row.
Are you really an undercover agent sent by the Devils? !
Bayless was also at a loss for words.
Harden's weaknesses were all targeted tonight, but there are some abilities they don't know about.
But Xu Yong, why has his shooting become so accurate in just two months?
"Xu, well done." As soon as the team members came down, Sandek praised Xu Yong by name.
If Xu Yong failed to grasp these two three-pointers, or even failed to grasp one of them, the momentum on the field would have shifted to the Wildcats.
"But after the timeout, they will definitely not give you that opportunity again. I need you to do something on the weak side." Then he said quickly.
Xu Yong's consecutive three-pointers echoed the scene where he had seen Xu Yong training three-pointers before. He could be sure that Xu Yong's three-pointers had reached a stable level.
Return from the timeout and the game continues.
The score on the court at this time was 15 to 11, with the Devils leading by 4 points and the Wildcats having the ball.
This time Wise advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball directly to Bayless.
Bayless had been in good form for scoring consecutively before, and this time he lived up to his heavy responsibility. Shipp broke into the paint and caused Ayers' shooting foul.
After he made both free throws, he scored a team-high 6 points.
Since he can't explain it clearly in front of O'Neal now, let's let his game performance speak for itself.
The score difference between the two sides once again came to a goal difference.
And as Sandek expected, Xu Yong was no longer shorted.
When Harden began to break through, the Wildcats still chose to flank, but they let go of Shipp on the other side.
However, Sanders had already made a prediction during the timeout. Shipp did not stand still, but quickly cut to the basket, forcing the Wildcats to send someone to guard him.
At the same time, Harden also chose to pass the ball to the weak side.
Xu Yong screened Glasser on the weak side and bounced to the left corner, receiving Harden's pass.
This off-ball tactic was set up very cleverly, because Xu Yong is only the pick-and-roll man, and the Wildcats' weak-side defensive attention is on Glasser, who is being picked-and-rolled and making a receiving posture.
So after Xu Yong received the pass, he had another open opportunity.
After seeing it, Budinger fought back to defend, leaped high with his hands and made a blocking action in volleyball.
This time it is not only a psychological deterrent, but also a visual interference.
Xu Yong made this shot. Although his vision was disturbed, thousands of trainings had already formed muscle memory for him.
O'Neal's breath froze on the sidelines.
He didn't expect that Sandek would predict his defensive strategy. If Xu Yong made another shot, it would cause a huge blow to the Wildcats' confidence.
The fans at the scene also subconsciously clenched their hands and looked nervously at the ball in the air.
After the basketball reaches its highest point, it begins to fall.
The trajectory is still very positive.
"Uh-huh!"
With another sound of hitting the net, Xu Yong hit his third three-pointer tonight, and also his third consecutive one!
O'Neal reached out to slap his forehead, and the crowd was filled with excitement and cheers.
Xu Yong maintained his shooting posture after shooting, and did not stop until the ball went in. Then he turned around, put his index finger on his lips, and made a silent gesture towards the scene.jpg.
Fry the pot directly on site.
Xu Yong was deeply afraid that the momentum of the Wildcats and home fans would not be enough, so he launched a murderous attack!
Sandek was amused from the sidelines.
The reason why he was so decisive in the first place was not only Xu Yong's own strength, but also his character that exuded confidence.
This kind of player, as long as you give him a stage, he will definitely bring you rewards!
Xu Yong's consecutive three-pointers and silent gestures caused the Wildcats' morale to plummet to the bottom.
Bayless tried to stand up again to save the team, but this time his shot was directly blocked by Ayers.
The home team's momentum has not picked up, but the devils as the visiting team have shown their ferocious and terrifying faces!
And the ball directly hit Glasser's hands on the outside. The Devils pushed for a defensive counterattack, and Harden followed up and caught the ball and scored a fast break dunk.
20 to 13.
The Wildcats called a timeout and came back, but were beaten 5-0 by the Devils!
In fact, in terms of strength alone, the Wildcats are not inferior to the Devils. They have even done enough targeting before the game and should have an advantage in the situation.
But first Harden, and then Xu Yong, gave them one after another surprises.
Especially Xu Yong, the Wildcats' targeting of him was self-defeating, but turned out to be a success!
Now the momentum on the court has completely shifted towards the visiting team.
When the Wildcats attacked again, the cheers on the scene were already a little sparse. On the contrary, it was the Devils fans. The defensive shouts at this time were clearly audible.
Under pressure, it was Bayless who drove to the basket and scored a difficult and elegant mid-range shot.
This is another wave of fees God has given to the Wildcats.
However, the drop in morale of the Wildcats was visible to the naked eye. After the transition from offense to defense, they actually made a communication error on the defensive end. When Xu Yong moved to the top of the arc, he was let go again.
O'Neal warned loudly, but it was too late.
Xu Yong took a quick shot after catching the ball.
Tucson fans were left praying to their God.
"Uh-huh!"
However, God did not bring them a response this time. Xu Yong made his fourth three-point shot and hit his fourth three-pointer tonight!
"God!"
In the end, only the home commentator was left to exclaim.
This is not only because of Xu Yong's four three-pointers, but also because he has forgotten how long it has been since the University of Arizona was so disadvantaged in the derby!
23 to 13, the point difference on the court reached double digits for the first time.
O'Neal could only reach out and call timeout again.
Only two minutes have passed since the last time he called a timeout!
O'Neal looked solemn after calling a timeout. He realized that this team that he could manipulate at will in the past two years was really different!
But the good news is that the first half of the game lasted more than nine minutes at this time, and both sides gradually entered the rotation lineup, which gave him time to think and adjust.
After returning from the timeout, the main players on both sides went off to rest.
The strength of the Devils' bench is average, but the score on the field has always been stalemate, because the Wildcats are also a clay pot vs. adobe, a half-match.
This is also the reason why Sandek boldly let Xu Yong and Harden take a rest. He discovered this after repeatedly watching the video.
Thirteen or fourteen minutes into this quarter, the main players from both sides came on stage one after another.
It was at this time that the Wildcats made tactical adjustments. While they resolutely flanked Harden, they also resolutely stopped giving Xu Yong outside opportunities. As for Glasser and Shipp, they did not care about the outside at all.
If Glaser and Shipp were to hit the target accurately, they would admit defeat tonight.
This defensive strategy was very successful. Although Xu Yong's cuts and Harden's breakthroughs helped the Devils continue to increase points, the Devils' offense was obviously not as sharp as it was at the beginning.
At halftime, the score on the field was 35-25, and the Devils still led by double digits to end the first half.
At halftime, in the Devils' locker room, the players were already in high spirits, especially Ayers, who couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Just then, Sandek came to the locker room.
"Xu, James, come out." He called Harden and Xu Yong directly.
Both of them looked confused, but they still got up and followed him out.
