Chapter 15: A New Look



The fans of the Devils team at the scene screamed, this action was really hot!

In the Devils' half, Sandek excitedly pumped his fist.

If you dare to let go, I can come in.

These two three-pointers are so morale-boosting!

O'Neal directly reached out and called a timeout, looking at Bellers with dissatisfaction.

One three-pointer would be fine, but now it's two three-pointers in a row.

Are you really an undercover agent sent by the Devil Team?!

Belles was speechless.

Harden's weaknesses were actually targeted tonight, but they just didn't know about some of his abilities.

But Xu Yong, how come your shooting has 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 had failed to seize these two three-pointers, or even one of them, the momentum on the court would have already 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.

After the break, the game continues.

At this time, the score on the field was 15 to 11, the Devils were leading by 4 points, and the Wildcats had the ball.

This time, after advancing to the frontcourt, Wise passed the ball directly to Bellers.

Bellers had been in good form with his previous scoring streak, and he did not let his opponent down this time, breaking through Shipp and getting into the paint, causing Ayers to commit a shooting foul.

After he made both free throws, he had scored a team-high 6 points.

Since he can't explain it clearly in front of O'Neal, let him use his game performance to speak for himself.

The difference between the two sides once again came to one goal.

And just as Sandek expected, Xu Yong was no longer left alone.

When Harden started to break through, the Wildcats still chose to double-team him, but they let go of Shipp on the other side.

However, Sanders had already predicted during the timeout that Shipp did not stand still, but quickly cut into the basket, forcing the Wildcats to send someone to switch defense on him.

At the same time, Harden also chose to pass the ball to the weak side.

After Xu Yong screened for Glaser on the weak side, he bounced to the left corner and received the pass from Harden.

This off-ball tactic was cleverly set up, because Xu Yong was only the screener, and the Wildcats' weak-side defensive attention was all on Glaser, who was screened and in a receiving position.

So after Xu Yong received the pass, there was another open opportunity.

After seeing this, Badinger fought back, jumped high and made a volleyball blocking move with both hands.

This time it is not only a psychological deterrent, but also a visual interference.

Xu Yong shot the ball. Although his vision was disturbed, thousands of times of training had already formed muscle memory for him.

O'Neal's breathing stagnated on the sidelines.

He didn't expect that Sandek had predicted his defensive strategy. If Xu Yong made another shot, it would deal a ton of damage to the Wildcats' confidence.

The fans at the scene also subconsciously clenched their hands and looked nervously at the ball in the air.

The basketball begins to fall after it passes the highest point.

The trajectory is still very straight.

“Swish!”

With the sound of the ball going into the net again, Xu Yong made his third three-pointer of the night, and also the third in a row!

O'Neal clapped his hand on his forehead, and the scene was filled with noise and cheers.

After Xu Yong shot the ball, he kept the shooting posture until the ball went in. Then he turned around, put his index finger on his lips, and made a silence gesture to the audience.jpg.

The scene was immediately fried.

Xu Yong was afraid that the momentum of the Wildcats and the home fans would not be enough, so he launched a deadly attack!

Sandek was amused watching from the sidelines.

The reason why he made such a decisive decision at the beginning, in addition to Xu Yong's own strength, was also because of his confident character.

This kind of player, as long as he is given a stage, he will definitely bring you rewards!

Xu Yong's consecutive three-pointers and the silencing gesture caused the Wildcats' morale on the field to plummet.

Bayless tried to step out again to save the team, but this time his shot was ruthlessly blocked by Ayres.

The home team's momentum has not yet risen, but the devils of the visiting team have already revealed their hideous and terrifying faces!

Moreover, the ball was directly blocked by Glaser on the outside. The Devils pushed the defense to counterattack, and Harden followed up and received the ball and scored a fast break dunk.

20 to 13.

The Wildcats called a timeout, but were counterattacked by the Devils with a score of 5-0!

In fact, in terms of strength alone, the Wildcats are not inferior to the Devils. In fact, they have done enough targeting before the game, so they should have the upper hand in the situation.

But first Harden and then Xu Yong gave them surprises one after another.

Especially Xu Yong, the Wildcats' targeting of him backfired and turned out to be a success!

Now the momentum on the field has completely shifted to the visiting team.

When the Wildcats attacked again, the cheers from the crowd were already a little sparse, but the defensive cheers from the Devils fans were clearly audible.

Under pressure, it was still Bellers who drove to the basket and made a difficult, elegant mid-range shot.

This is another wave of money God has given to the Wildcats.

However, the Wildcats' morale drop was visibly evident. After the switch from offense to defense, they actually had a communication error on the defensive end. When Xu Yong moved to the top of the arc, he was left open again.

O'Neill warned loudly, but it was too late.

Xu Yong received the ball and shot quickly.

Tucson fans can only continue to pray to their God.

“Swish!”

However, God did not respond to them this time. Xu Yong's fourth three-pointer was his fourth three-pointer of the night!

"God!"

In the end, only the home commentator was left exclaiming in amazement.

This was not only because of Xu Yong's four three-pointers, but also because he had forgotten how long it had been since the University of Arizona was at such a disadvantage in the derby!

23 to 13, the score difference on the field reached double digits for the first time.

O'Neal could only reach out and call for another timeout.

Only two minutes had passed since he last called a timeout!

After calling a timeout, O'Neal looked solemn. He realized that this team, which he could easily control in the past two years, is really different now!

But the good news is that at this time, more than nine minutes had passed in the first half of the game, and both sides had gradually entered the rotation lineup, which gave him time to think and adjust.

After the break, the main players on both sides went off the court to rest.

The strength of the Devils' bench was average, but the score on the field remained deadlocked because the Wildcats were just like a clay pot against a brick wall, and they were equally matched.

This is also the reason why Sandek boldly let Xu Yong and Harden go off the court to rest. He discovered this after watching the video repeatedly.

When the quarter was about thirteen or fourteen minutes in, the main players of both sides came on the court one after another.

It was at this time that the Wildcats made a tactical adjustment. While they resolutely double-teamed Harden, they also resolutely stopped giving Xu Yong any chances from the outside. As for Glaser and Shipp, they completely ignored them from the outside.

If Glasser and Shipp could also hit the target with every throw, they would have to accept defeat tonight.

This defensive strategy was very successful. Although Xu Yong's cut-in and Harden's breakthrough helped the Devils continue to score points, the Devils' offense was obviously not as fierce as at the beginning.

At the end of the first half, the score was 35 to 25, and the Devils still led by double digits at the end of the first half.

During the halftime break, in the Devils' locker room, the players were already having a blast, 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 puzzled, but they still stood up and followed him out.
