Volume 1 Western Cowboy Chapter 029 The data is complete
P.J. Tucker touched his face. Why did it feel hot and wet?
Oh, it’s sweat…
Tucker's mission today is very clear, which is to strangle the Chinese student who has become famous recently.
He is also very confident about this, although he is less than 2 meters tall and is considered a short inside player.
But in the past 10 games, Tucker has made a name for himself with his terrifying power.
It is not a problem for him to defend against bigger players. Since the start of the new season, he has already made many power forward players who are taller than him suffer losses.
But facing Wayne today...that guy is too cheating!
He just jumped up and shot, giving no chance for confrontation.
How can Tucker defend against this?
At least give me a chance to interfere, dear.
This is the first time Tucker has encountered a "welcome ceremony" prepared for him since entering the Big 12 Conference.
Wayne was really excited just now, so he couldn't help but shout to Tucker.
A good tactical core needs to give it a try occasionally.
Watching Wayne score the goal against Tucker, Bird became more certain of his guess.
Just now, Tucker couldn't even cover Wayne's face, which is enough to prove Wayne's height.
And Wayne's arrogance just now... I have to say it's very much to Bird's liking.
Obviously, Bird turned on the TV and watched the game just to kill time, but now, he found himself actually looking forward to the performance of the Chinese man.
This guy really has some kind of magical power.
It was the Longhorns' turn to attack, and this time Roy Ivey planned to take the lead in attacking and capturing the city for the team.
But when facing Tony Allen's defense again a year later, Ivey found that the guy in front of him was much stronger!
Last season, Ivey was very confident against Tony, but this year, he found himself being guarded so hard that he couldn't get any shooting space at all.
Tony Allen used to play one-on-one with Wayne every day, but it was not just to accompany the prince to study.
While Wayne was frantically gaining growth points, Tony Allen also made great progress.
Especially in one-on-one defense, Tony Allen is now almost the best perimeter defense expert in the NCAA.
Compared to last season, Ivey's performance can basically be described as stagnant.
He may have been strong for Tony Allen and the Cowboys last season, but not anymore.
"Snapped!"
Just when Roy Ivey was at a loss, Teacher Tony reached out and snatched the basketball from Ivey's hands.
The gap between the two now is as big as the gap between Wayne's actual height and his registered height.
Seeing Tony Allen counterattack immediately after stealing the ball, P.J. Tucker chased after him immediately.
It must be said that Tucker's enthusiasm is indeed impeccable and he is willing to risk his life.
In a few moves, Tucker caught up with Tony. Judging from Tucker's defensive ability, if Tony still chose to force the attack, his hit rate would probably not be very high.
Tony Allen originally planned to force a layup against Tucker who was chasing him. You know, he is a person with a strong sense of competition and is not afraid of these things at all. That would be the end of him.
But after seeing Tucker's face, Teacher Tony suddenly remembered what Wayne said to him before the game started.
Pass the ball to him more, pass the ball to him more... Now Tucker is here to defend me, isn't that a great opportunity to pass the ball to Wayne?
So, Teacher Tony turned back, swung his arm hard, and threw the ball to the right side outside the three-point line!
Wayne just happened to arrive, received the basketball, and shot right away!
"The ball is in!" Coach Zhang shouted to himself in the stands, and the basketball went into the net.
6-0, the Longhorns were stunned by Wayne's shooting right from the start.
"Keep an eye on Wade, keep an eye on him!" On the sidelines, University of Texas coach Rick Barnes yelled in dissatisfaction.
As a team at the top four in the tournament, he couldn't bear to see his team being hammered to the ground.
Tucker raised his arms to indicate that it was his own negligence.
But in fact, it doesn’t matter to Guan Tucker. He has been trying his best to defend.
If Roy Ivey hadn't overestimated his own abilities and challenged Tony Allen, this wouldn't have happened.
However, Roy Ivey did not take the initiative to admit his mistake, and had to let freshman Tucker take the blame.
Tucker feels very miserable. Now he is bullied by the big brother on the opposing team and the big brother on his own team.
Why is it so difficult to be a newcomer?
Wayne's ability to catch the ball and shoot really surprised Bird. He was as steady as a guard!
Few big men can shoot the ball as softly and calmly as he does.
And Bird also knew that in addition to defense, Carlisle also placed great emphasis on space.
Right now, Wayne is simply Carlisle's ideal type.
No wonder Carlisle asked me to watch this game. Maybe that "NBA Gene Kelly" has been secretly following Wayne for a long time.
The game was still going on, and Roy Ivey became much more obedient immediately after being intercepted by Tony Allen.
He could clearly feel the gap between himself and Tony Allen.
In fact, if T.J. Ford hadn't been there to hold him back last season, Ivey wouldn't have been able to get whatever he wanted from Tony.
The Cowboys were afraid of the strength of the double outside line, so they brought in Joey Graham this summer to form a super wing with Tony.
But now Graham doesn't need to take any shots, the Longhorns' outside line is basically locked down.
After the basketball made a circle, it fell into the hands of Tucker, who had just been shot in the face.
Tucker got the ball and waved to everyone.
Wow, this is going to be a singles match!
Sutton’s pre-match report was indeed accurate. At this time, Tucker had only one thought after holding the ball - bomb the basket!
Damn, this is definitely Akron genius style of play.
God knows what Tucker has been through, and his playing style will change so much in the future.
Bird, sitting in front of the TV, supported his chin with both hands and watched this round intently.
Whether there is space or not is secondary, defense is the top priority.
A player who can’t defend is not a player suitable for the Pacers.
Tucker thought Wayne would use his height advantage to protect him, but he didn't know that Wayne was almost retreating to the free throw line .
Tucker's face was full of black lines. He must have looked down on his own shooting!
Today, I really don’t dare to vote…
Well, Tucker had an idea.
He wasn't good at shooting in high school, let alone shooting at the NCAA level.
Seeing that Wayne had let him go so far, what could Tucker do? He had to rush forward even if he had to bite the bullet.
Who caused Tucker's passing key to be deducted during this period?
Tucker was coming towards Wayne like a speeding car, but Wayne was not nervous at all.
I was hit by a car and came to America from China. Would I be afraid of you?
"Bang!" Wayne moved sideways and stood in front of Tucker.
The 5 points of lateral movement speed added previously had an immediate effect.
I have to say, Tucker's playing style really looks more and more like this year's No. 1 pick.
There are also no fancy dribbling skills, and the same reckless breakthroughs.
But Tucker's physical talent is not on the same level as Mousse's.
If it was Mousse who shot the ball, Wayne would probably have been knocked away.
But Tucker's breakthrough speed was greatly affected by Wayne's block.
To be honest, if Tucker changed direction or showed some ball-handling skills in the middle of the game, Wayne might not be able to keep up with his current defensive ability.
But there is no way, who makes Tucker a "straight man"?
Although Wayne was hit hard, he still gritted his teeth and stayed in front of Tucker.
This weight still needs to continue to increase.
In the end, Tucker had to force a layup despite the huge height difference and his overly long arms without getting rid of Wayne.
The result is obvious, Tucker's forced attack on the basket failed.
Wayne successfully defended and grabbed the defensive rebound.
Wayne felt extremely comfortable when he thought that these data would be settled as double growth points after the game!
"Okay, he can actually defend the opponent's breakthrough." Bird nodded. Wayne was indeed better than he imagined.
At first, Bird thought Wayne was just a big guy who relied on his soft touch and height to bully the weak in the college arena.
But at the moment, Wayne is far better than he expected.
The moment Wayne grabbed the rebound, Joey Graham started running forward desperately.
He knew that as long as he ran fast enough, he could get the cake!
After Wayne grabbed the rebound, the first person he looked for was indeed Graham. The two brothers had formed a tacit understanding after working together in 10 regular season games.
So, the Cowboys fans at the scene got to see the performance they had been waiting for for so long.
Graham left everyone behind and ran at high speed. Soon, Wayne's long pass from the backcourt crossed the entire court and accurately fell into Graham's hands.
Next, it was a beautiful performance of bombing the basket.
Joey Graham showed off his physical fitness to the fullest with a back-to-the-basket slam dunk, which made Wayne drool.
Damn, the sky is indeed my limit and my aspiration.
How can I unlock the bounce if I don’t get more growth points now?
The bounce of this Coke can was no longer enough to satisfy Wayne.
If I add the bounce in the future, combined with the current blocking attribute...
Wow, the picture is so beautiful that Wayne doesn’t dare to think about it anymore.
Points, rebounds, assists, the game just started not long ago, and Wayne's statistics are all complete.
The score on the field became 8 to 0. All these 8 points were directly related to Wayne.
Last season's national semifinalist, the Big 12 defending champion Texas lost its dignity at Gallagher-Alba Arena.
The cheerleaders on the scene were jumping wildly, the fans in the stands were shouting wildly, and the NBA scouts were recording frantically.
Trail Blazers scout Roy Perkins even wrote in his report: "It is entirely possible that he can be trained to be the second Rashid, a Rashid with a better temper who will not cause trouble off the court!"
At this time, when Roy Ivey and Tucker approached the Cowboys' half again, they no longer had the ambition they had just had in their hearts, but only felt tremendous pressure.
Looking at Tony Allen and Wayne with their arms open, they both swallowed.
This defense is completely impregnable!
Tucker chose to break through again this time. To be exact, this was the only option available to him.
But this time, Tucker broke through and made a layup after getting off a screen and surpassing Wayne by half a body length.
Half a body length away, Tucker thought this space was enough for him to score.
But Wayne's wingspan allowed him to easily make up for the half-body difference, not to mention he had such a huge height advantage.
When Tucker jumped for a layup, Wayne slapped him hard from behind.
The fans at the scene had been waiting for this moment for a long time. The moment Wayne completed the block, everyone stood up and shouted "block the shot" together.
Every time Wayne completes a block, it seems like a carnival.
Coach Zhang couldn't stop smiling. Wayne might be the first player to make foreign fans shout in Chinese.
Tucker, who was bleeding, just felt a cool breeze blowing. Today was completely over.
The wind is whistling and the Yi River is cold. The hero will never return once he leaves.
Old Sutton saw Wayne easily defend Tucker, shook his head and sat on the bench.
The biggest rival in the Big 12 Conference, he was worried about it for a long time before the season started.
But now it seems that I was worrying too much.
Super rookie Tucker can't !
The Cowboys have secured the league championship!
At this point, Sutton has already set his sights beyond the league and toward next spring.
The March Madness tournament, that’s where the Cowboys belong.
Again, that’s where Wayne and Tony Allen are really going to shine…
