The yellow storm in the NBA

During the jump ball stage, Pittman tried his best and failed to win the battle with Gibson. There was no way. Although this guy was 211cm tall, he weighed nearly 130 kilograms, which made his jumping very poor, and the opponent's

Gibson is known for his explosive playing style and his relatively good bounce, so it is natural that he failed in the jump ball.

Although the jump ball failed, the Longhorns didn't take it too seriously and set up defensive formations according to their respective positions. Today, Coach Barnes still adopted a one-on-one defensive strategy because the team's starter

The individual defense capabilities of the players are all above average, which is very rare.

You must know that many famous players may be superstars on offense, but they are also ATMs on the defensive end. Some people are limited by their physical conditions and their defense becomes a black hole, while some people have no awareness of defense at all, or in other words

I don't want to defend.

After all, defense is a dirty job, and the data does not reflect it, so it is better to spend energy on offense and score more points.

There is no doubt about Durant's offensive ability, and because of his excellent physical fitness, his single defense ability is also very good. After all, it is not easy to hit the ball under the cover of his long arms.

And Quan Xiao started from defense. After this period of training, he has changed his previous defense method that relied entirely on the body. Instead, he combined the body and consciousness and relied more on anticipating the opponent to defend.

.This also benefits from the experience accumulated from a large number of competitions during this period.

The point guard of Southern California is a white player with a height of about 190cm. Judging from the previous games, he is a very stable point guard, and he has a good half-shot shot and good organizational skills.

California's offense is running smoothly.

No, the first goal was under his control. After the two insiders screened each other, Ty Gibson drew the defensive attention of the two Longhorns insiders and passed the ball to the center forward.

Successful dunk.

The Longhorns started a counterattack the moment the opponent scored. Pittman picked up the ball and quickly passed it to Durant. Durant controlled the ball and moved forward. Quan Xiao and Augustin moved left and right.

It's almost down.

After reaching the opponent's half, Quan Xiao kept running outside the opponent's three-point line to open up space for his teammates. The opponents did not dare to leave Quan Xiao open, presumably they also knew Quan Xiao's three-point threat.

On the other side, the insides of both sides are also competing with each other, each focusing on the other. Although the two inside players of the Longhorns have a poor offense, they cannot let go. No matter how bad they are, they will never be so bad that they can't let go of the basket or dunk.

Come in!

Durant successfully attracted two opposing defensive players, so Augustin was missed. Durant's quick eyes and quick hands passed the ball to the point guard. Augustin did not betray his trust, and he passed the ball to the point guard from outside the three-point line.

The shot was successful.

On the next goal, Southern California used constant pick-and-roll moves to finally create a one-on-one situation with Gibson, and successfully scored two points under the defense of Damai James.

On the other side, the Longhorns strictly implemented Coach Barnes's tactical thinking and focused on Augustin at the start. Durant completely became a bait, attracting Southern California's main defensive force and allowing Augustin to

There is room for you to project yourself.

In fact, the Longhorns' best shooter currently is Quan Xiao, but opponents have obviously studied the Longhorns' previous games and know how powerful Quan Xiao's shooting is.

It also shows that Quan Xiao does not seem to have the ability to handle the ball and attack on his own. Therefore, in this game, Southern California's shooting guard is a substitute who is famous for running. His main task is to pester Quan Xiao and prevent Quan Xiao from letting go.

There is an opportunity to easily receive the pass from his teammates, but Quan Xiao, who has cut off contact with his teammates, does not pose much of a threat.

However, Coach Barnes has not yet given a signal for Quan Xiao to attack with the ball. After all, he has also successfully involved an opponent's defender. And because of his active and flexible running, Southern California's point guard sometimes has to

However, he came to help defend, which also supported Augustine to a certain extent.

When the game reached the 5th minute of the first half, the head coach of Southern California called a timeout. He finally figured out that Barnes was using Augustin as the main offensive point.

I have to say that this trick is quite effective. This can be seen from the score. The current score is 12:8, Southern California is lagging behind, and the opponent's 12 points are except for the meat shield center who dunked a basket.

All ten points came from point guard Augustin, two three-pointers and two layups. He only took 6 shots in total and missed two three-pointers. It can be said that the efficiency was quite high.

Perhaps Durant is so dazzling that his teammates are overshadowed. Many people have overlooked that Augustin's shooting is also very good. Of course, this is also due to Quan Xiao, because his shooting leaves people with a different impression.

The impression was too profound, and to a certain extent it covered up the fact that Augustin has good shooting ability.

During the timeout, the commentary box was analyzing the previous five minutes of the game.

"I have to say that Longhorns' coach Barnes is a very thoughtful coach. I'm afraid no one would have thought that in such an important game, he would actually kill Kevin Durant.

The device is used as bait, and a 183cm

The point guard is the main attack point. I have to say that this move is indeed bold and full of imagination."

"Yes, it is indeed unexpected. You must know that Durant has proven himself to be an unstoppable superstar in previous games, and it is natural for him to become the main attack point. But Barnes dared to go to the wrong side and let him

Just serves as a decoy to draw the defense's attention, and it works pretty well," another commentator chimed in.

"He just played by surprise, and I don't believe that Augustin can last the whole game like Kevin Durant. Next, Barnes will definitely not use Augustin as the main attacker.

California will also give its own reaction." A commentator disagreed with the opinions of the first two.

"Charlie, how do you think Southern California will respond next?" the first commentator asked.

"I think Southern California will definitely make a fuss on the inside next. After all, the Longhorns' inside strength is far behind compared to the outside, and Southern California's strength on the inside is exactly its strength," commentator Charlie said.

"As long as Southern California insists on playing on its strengths, Southern California will definitely overtake the score. After all, Southern California is still dominant in terms of overall strength, and Texas only has one Durant, which locks him down.

The horned ox is useless."

"Charlie, don't forget that Texas also has a basketball player from China. His shooting is very powerful. Maybe Southern California will suffer a big loss from him. Not to mention Augustin's performance today.

It's also very good." His colleague reminded him from the side.

"Oh, Danny, it's just a pitcher. A pitcher can't decide the game. Just arrange for someone to follow him every step of the way. You see, Southern California has done a good job today. So far, that Chinese guy is not

Still haven’t scored a single point?”

"Charlie, do you dare to make a bet with me? I'll bet on whether the Chinese kid can score 20 points today." The colleague who reminded Charlie smirked and proposed a bet.

"Okay, let's bet. I, Charlie, have never been afraid of anyone when it comes to betting! What do you think the bet is?"

"You decide the bet!"

"Okay, then it's just like the bet Sir Charles once made, whoever loses will kiss the donkey's ass." Apparently Charlie was very confident in his judgment.

"No problem, it's a deal, whoever loses will kiss the donkey's butt on the next national live broadcast! Danny, you will be the witness."

Thus, under Danny's witness, a gambling game was born.
