As soon as Xu Yong said this, Ayers pouted and nodded, and Harden was also eager to try.
Xu Yong's inherent confidence is most likely to infect his teammates.
The third game was about to begin. When Xu Yong and Harden came on the court, the surrounding students whistled and cheered.
Although both of them are newcomers, they were the main contributors to the team's victory yesterday.
Especially Xu Yong, the dunk over Blake Griffin and the 360-degree turn dunk are still vivid in my mind.
The game started quickly. The Devils lost the previous inning and kicked off first in this inning.
After the ball was served, Ayers and Xu Yong both moved to the weak side to create space for Harden to play one-on-one.
Harden holds the ball against Bayless.
Harden is 1.96 meters tall, has a wingspan of 2.10 meters, and weighs 98 kilograms;
Belles is 1.91 meters tall, has a wingspan of 1.91 meters and weighs 90 kilograms.
There is an obvious difference in their body sizes.
Harden chose to play one-on-one with his back to the basket, which is an offensive method that maximizes his physical advantage.
Bellers was pushed back continuously, and Harden pushed the ball to the three-second zone, turned fake to the right, then quickly turned left and made a layup with his left hand.
The crowd suddenly burst into cheers.
In the first two games, Bellers was in great form and no one could do anything to him. Harden gave his opponent a warning from the start.
And the key is that the size difference allows Harden to always "bully" the opponent.
This is the difference between three-on-three and full-court. Full-court emphasizes tactical coordination, but three-on-three emphasizes individual ability and positioning.
Bellers' expression at this moment was very surprised, not because of Harden's back-to-the-basket attack, but because he didn't expect Harden to be a left-handed player!
Of course, this is also because Harden is not ranked high among his classmates. The top five players in the 2007 class, Mayo, Love, Eric Gordon, Beasley, and Rose, are more or less familiar to his classmates.
Belles then gathered the three together for a brief exchange.
The Devils continued to serve, and Harden once again backed up with the ball.
This time, he had just hit him twice when Badinger chose to quickly attack from both sides.
At the same time, Bellers also quickly made a steal.
Harden showed his top basketball IQ and vision at this time, and he threw the ball to Xu Yong when Battinger double-teamed him.
Xu Yong had good tacit understanding and cut to the basket early when Batinger double-teamed him.
After catching the ball, he took a step and jumped into the air with all his strength before Badinger could return to defense.
“Bang!”
With one hand, the tomahawk slammed the ball into the basket!
His head hit the rim directly on this ball. Although the previous training was not yet completed, his body was already fully mobilized.
The moment the ball was hit in, the entire outdoor field was boiling.
Harden's previous goal made them feel proud, but Xu Yong's dunk made them fall to the ground.
You can never see such an exciting dunk outdoors!
0 to 4.
The Devils shook off the slump from the previous inning and took the upper hand from the start.
Belles called the three together again.
Coincidentally, Arizona's two NCAAD1 teams this year are both "Home Alone".
The Devils continued to serve, and Harden continued to hold the ball and play singles on the right side.
The Wildcats continued to choose double-teaming, but the double-teamer was changed from Battinger to Hill.
Hill is 2.08 meters tall, with an amazing wingspan of 2.21 meters, and he moves much faster than expected.
Harden didn't dare to pass the ball to Ayers easily, but chose to turn around and shoot a fadeaway jump shot to the right.
His choice was correct. Before Hill formed a double-team, Bayless could basically not interfere with his shot.
It's just a pity that Harden's shot after turning around hit the edge of the basket and bounced out.
For most players, turning right and shooting is a comfortable posture, but Harden is left-handed, so it is naturally the other way around.
Hill showed off his wingspan advantage and grabbed the defensive rebound over Ayers' head.
In the transition between offense and defense, Bayless quickly moved to the outside to receive the ball.
Facing Harden who was defending him, he just changed direction and passed Harden with one step.
Harden's weight is an advantage on the offensive end, but facing a guard like Bellers who has both speed and explosiveness, he is at a great disadvantage on the defensive end.
And after passing Harden, Bellers did not give Xu Yong and Ayers a chance to assist in defense, and directly took a mid-range jump shot.
“Swish!”
The basketball went into the pocket and Bayless scored the first goal for the Wildcats.
The Wildcats continue to have the ball.
This time Harden took a step back while defending.
After seeing this, Bellers made a fake breakthrough, then raised his hand and took a mid-range jump shot, and the basketball went into the net again.
Bayless scored 4 points in a row, helping the Wildcats tie the score.
The crowd was restless; they had seen too many performances like Belles' today.
At this time, Xu Yong also had a new understanding of Belles.
Whether it is his achievements in history or the settings in the game, Bayless cannot be considered a successful person, but at the NCAA level, he can really be invincible, just as Shipp marveled.
Xu Yong also called Harden and Ayers together at this time.
After the Wildcats continued to serve, the person defending Bellers changed from Harden to Xu Yong!
The fans at the scene suddenly felt their blood boiling.
It takes courage to defend in a mismatched position, and it takes even more courage to block a loophole. The Yong in Xu Yong should mean Yong!
Seeing this, Belles signaled Hill and Bading to move apart, and looked at Xu Yong eagerly.
This kind of small-scale attack on the big is his specialty.
After the strong side was cleared, he started playing one-on-one with the ball, lowering his center of gravity and making continuous changes of direction in front of his body.
Xu Yong took half a step back, giving Bellers some space to shoot.
However, Belles did not choose to shoot, but quickly closed the distance with Xu Yong, and then dribbled past Xu Yong with a quick behind-the-back dribble.
Xu Yong's reaction is not slow. As a forward-guard swingman, his lateral movement is even faster than some guards, but Bellers' combination of man and ball is really good.
As Ship said, it is difficult to limit a player who has both explosiveness and physical flexibility on the defensive end.
In fact, what Xu Yong didn’t know was that in that year in history, Bayless averaged 19.7 points per game at the University of Arizona!
The University of Arizona is a powerful team, and it has scoring masters like Budinger and Hill. Such a performance is nothing short of explosive.
After Bellers passed Xu Yong, there was no one in front of him, so he flew up and shot the ball off the backboard.
If he scored this goal again, it would not be as simple as scoring 6 points in a row, but there would be no one on the Devils team who could defend him.
This is not only related to today's game, but also to the next confrontation between the two teams.
At this moment, the crowd suddenly exclaimed.
Just when Byles thought that the delayed sound was because of him, the next second he felt the light above his head was shrouded by a huge shadow.
So big... for one person!
"Bang!"
This was followed by a muffled sound.
Xu Yong took the initiative and pressed the ball that he shot onto the backboard in mid-air!
Covering the sky and the sun, nailing the board and hat! !
No, Xu Yong grabbed the rebound with his hand as the ball bounced onto the backboard.
This is a nail board grabber!
Terrible bounce, terrific speed!!
However, the most surprised person at this time was not Belles, but Badinger.
This guy, who comes from a volleyball family, is famous for his jumping ability and shared the McDonald's Game MVP with Kevin Durant last year, stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
Last night when he heard someone dunked over Griffin, he thought it was an exaggeration, calling a dunk that just passed by someone's shoulder a dunk.
But at this moment, he believed it was true.
Then, you told me this is a yellow person?!
