Chapter 30 030: Killing all the geniuses of his age, only the top pick is worthy of him!
New Orleans, Superdome.
The 72,000 fans at the scene and the tens of millions of fans watching in front of the TV were all sweating for Anthony at this moment.
In fact, even Anthony himself didn't expect it.
This game can be so difficult!
At this time, there were only 1 minute and 55 seconds left before the end of this legendary showdown.
Syracuse trailed by 2 points.
Carmelo Anthony holds the ball at his waist, preparing to hit Ryan with his back.
Angua thrust his ass out, hoping to gain an advantage.
Although Angua’s butt is not anti-human like Barkley or anti-sexuality like Kardashian.
But it can also be considered plump and delicious.
Relying on this fat butt, Angua's post-up play is one of his most efficient weapons this season.
But today, facing Ryan, Angua's back attack was not even an advantage.
Ryan is too strong, and his strength is not inferior to that of a college melon that has not yet been raised.
If strength is not dominant, it will be useless no matter how big your hips are.
Therefore, unable to stand up to Ryan, Anthony would block every turn and jump shot today.
It was the same this time, Angua did not rely on his butt and strength to gain space.
He could only turn over and shoot a jump shot without getting rid of Ryan at all!
The result is clear. Angua's difficult shot finally bounced out of the frame.
Syracuse University missed a great opportunity to come back from the dead!
The moment the basketball hit the rim, Anthony secretly cursed a plant.
In the live TV broadcast, the ESPN director specially gave a line of data.
"Carmelo Anthony: 12 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 of 15."
This college super scorer is known as a super genius who "reached 85 points in every ability before entering the league."
Being defended by Ryan, his shooting rate was only 20%!
In the peak showdown with his former teammate, Ryan directly destroyed Angua's defense!
Today, Wisconsin used the exact same strategy it used against Marquette.
That is, they do not give the opponent's star players a chance to pass the ball, nor give the opponent's role players a chance to shoot open shots. Everyone resolutely defends one against the other.
Even though Angua will be a pure scorer in the NBA in the future, in these March Madness games, Angua has a lot of assists.
Anthony had 7 assists in the last game, and 9 in the next game.
Because Anthony is so strong, most teams will choose to flank him when defending him.
In NCAA-level games, Angua's passing ability is very good, and his ability to distribute the ball after being double-teamed is excellent.
Therefore, in the first two games, Angua led the team to perform more vigorously.
In fact, Angua has always had such passing ability, but after entering the NBA, he became a little obsessed with scoring.
Billups once commented on Angua: "He cared too much about whether he could score 30 points. He even scored 22 points in some games and we won, but he was very angry."
But Angua, who has not yet gone crazy, is happy to share the ball, so he must not give others wide open opportunities.
When the whole world was worried about how to restrict Anthony, a guy whose offensive skills were obviously far superior to those of college students, Beau Ryan shrugged:
"Is it difficult to guard Anthony? Just man-to-man!"
Against Wade in the last game and Angua in this game, the University of Wisconsin's defensive strategy was based on Ryan's super single defense ability.
This gave the scouts a new understanding of Ryan's defensive ability.
Today, Ryan was also full of energy and was going head-to-head with Anthony from the first second of the game.
Under the fierce hand-to-hand fight, Guagua felt like he was being quickly devoured.
And because of strict man-to-man marking, Anthony has no passing opportunities at all.
Many times, Anthony can only force his shots, and the hit rate will definitely not be much higher.
At first, Syracuse actually didn't care much about Wisconsin's defense. After all, Marquette University faced the same strategy in the last game, and Wade didn't play badly.
How good is Wade? That kind of rough guy can score 19 points under Ryan's single defense.
Is it not a big problem for me, Angua, to simply score 29 points on Ryan?
Who would have known that Angua made 3 out of 15!
So the basketball game is not mathematics, and some things cannot be directly compared.
In terms of the variety of scoring methods, Wade can't even compare to Angua's toes.
But because he is so fast, he can occasionally break through Ryan's defense with his speed.
What about Angua?
He has no advantage in confrontation or speed. He can only grind against Ryan round by round. Every time he takes a shot, he has to withstand strict defensive interference.
At this time, no matter how many offensive methods there are, it is not as effective as simply being fast.
To introduce it, it is called one thing lowering one thing.
Fortunately, Angua's teammates are much better than Wade's teammates.
With Angua locked up, Hakeem Warrick, the future No. 19 pick in 2005, stepped forward and performed extremely well on both offense and defense.
Sophomore Warrick is considered the "Pippen" next to Anthony this season, and he has indeed played this role well.
The defense is working hard, and the offense is quietly waiting for Angua to pass the ball in the open space.
Today, when "Jordan" was restricted, "Pippen" took up the banner.
Warrick switches freely between the two rhythms of "quickly shrinking inside to help defend Ryan" and "quickly popping out to block three-pointers".
His ubiquity made Wisconsin's overall shooting percentage very low today.
Ryan has only scored 22 points so far today, shooting less than 45% from the field.
On the offensive end, Warrick also scored 19 points by turning over and making jump shots. He was the most efficient player at Syracuse University today.
It was precisely because of Varrick's explosion that Syracuse University fell behind by only 2 points.
But no matter how strong Pippen is, he is still just Pippen.
Syracuse is lagging right now, that's just a fact.
Ryan once again prevented Anthony's key attack, which made Syracuse University's situation even worse.
Harris received the basketball at this time and prepared to counterattack.
But as soon as he started to speed up, he was intercepted by the white defender Gerry McNamara beside him.
This guy averaged 2.2 steals per game in NCAA games, and his ability to steal the ball is unparalleled.
After McNamara stole the ball, he gave the ball to "Syracuse Pippen" Warrick, who caught the ball and was about to shoot.
Seeing this, Kirk Penny rushed forward roughly, knocking Varrick to the ground under the influence of inertia.
The referee's whistle sounded and Syracuse University got two crucial free throw opportunities at the last minute!
Anthony breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he can make these two free throws, the score will be equalized and he will still have the possibility of competing for the championship!
But as Warrick stepped to the free throw line, Ryan leaned over and whispered something in his ear.
Immediately afterwards, Warrick, who played extremely well in this game, missed both free throws!
The whole audience was in mourning, and Mike Brin said bluntly:
"Varrick threw away his championship! No, it was Ryan who made him lose his championship.
He just said something in Varrick's ear. No matter what it was, it must have been a success, a Dennis Rodman-style psychological tactic! "
The whole world is curious about what Ryan said. In fact, Ryan simply said, "If you miss these two goals, you will be eliminated."
This sentence doesn't even have any sense of humility at all, it can't be more civilized.
But Ryan knew very well that Varrick was a player with extremely poor psychological quality.
He is usually taciturn and likes to hide behind Anthony and doesn't like big scenes.
In history, when Syracuse University and Kansas played in the finals, Syracuse University led by 3 points in the last 14 seconds. It was because Warrick missed two free throws that Kansas almost came back.
It was like that when they were ahead by 3 points at the last moment, but now they are behind by 2 points at the last moment, and the pressure is even greater. It would only be weird if Varrick could make a free throw.
Therefore, even if the trash talk is not offensive, it is enough for Varrick, who has extremely poor psychological quality.
However, Ryan's successful psychological tactics did not give the University of Wisconsin an advantage enough to win.
Because of Wisconsin's subsequent offense, Ryan's catch-and-shoot shot was actually blocked by Angua.
Angua defended very actively today, not at all the laziness he had after entering the NBA.
The point difference is still 2 points! Syracuse immediately paused the game after getting the rebound.
These last 14 seconds are their last chance!
All fans across the country were very nervous at this time, wondering who would have the last laugh among the talented pair of Ryan and Anthony.
Wesley, who was watching the game at the scene, was also extremely nervous. If Syracuse University missed 3 points next, it would miss the championship.
Then all these things like Ryan's victory over all the geniuses of his age, his unbeatable record and championship, will all come to naught!
To put it bluntly, the next goal determines more than just the outcome of the game.
It's about how Ryan can enter the draft preparation period and how he can negotiate with major sneaker manufacturers!
The game resumes, and Syracuse is now in a desperate situation.
In the last 14 seconds, Anthony weaved through the layers of screens to the right side of the three-point line and received the basketball.
But as soon as he received the ball, Ryan continued to stick close to him, and Angua's off-ball movement failed to get rid of Ryan.
In desperation, Angua could only wave his hand.
He wants to beat Ryan with the ball!
For a time, the cheers of more than 70,000 fans in the audience were deafening.
At a critical moment, two super geniuses faced off, and this legendary showdown ushered in the most legendary moment.
Anthony holds the ball and changes hands, then suddenly pulls it up and shoots!
Yes, Angua didn't wait for the last moment to shoot or make too many moves.
He knew that none of that could fool Ryan, so he had to catch him by surprise!
Ryan really didn't expect Anthony to suddenly pull out, and his reaction was half a beat too slow.
To Angua's despair,
Ryan, who took off half a beat too late, still relied on his abnormal bounce speed and wingspan to block the three-point shot!
Ryan blocked Melo again, and Anthony made 3 of 16 today!
Fortunately, Angua immediately turned around and picked up the blocked basketball. And while Ryan has a firm footing, he breaks through directly!
Fortunately, Anthony left time for himself, and he still had the last chance to change his fate.
Anthony picked up the basketball and rushed directly to the frame, preventing Ryan from reacting immediately and moving sideways to block it.
But when Angua broke into the penalty area and raised his hand for a layup, the basketball was directly hit on the backboard by a big hand stretched out from behind!
Already out of position, Ryan caught up with Angua and succeeded with a bloody blow.
In the last attack, Ryan first took a risk on Angua from outside the three-point line, and then again in the three-second zone. Two blocks in a row, and Angua was taken out directly!
After Anthony landed, there was only despair in his eyes.
Ryan, his high school version of Scottie Pippen.
Now, kill Jordan!
With two consecutive blocks, Ryan completely ended the suspense.
Anthony's shooting percentage was also fixed at 17%, 3 of 17!
Ryan relied on his single defense to almost lock down the best scorer in college!
Moreover, he even scored 21 points!
He has proven that he is powerful enough to kill all geniuses of his age!
After the second risk, Ryan threw the ball into the air hard.
Then, an electronic buzzer sounded.
The on-site commentator shouted at the top of his lungs:
“The 2003 March Madness championship belongs to the University of Wisconsin!
After 62 years, they once again dominate the country!
God, Ryan created a winning season! Killed all worthy opponents!
In the 21st century, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to see a second player who can achieve this achievement!
Such a perfect player, give me a reason not to pick him!
Ryan must be the top pick in the draft, no other position is worthy of him! "
Watching the roaring commentary, watching the beautiful confetti in the air, watching Anthony crying, watching Ryan raising his arms high.
Wesley's heart was unmoved.
Because he knows very well that when people recall Ryan's basketball career in the future, the 2003 NCAA championship will definitely be Ryan's most inconspicuous achievement!
This is not the peak for Ryan, at most it is just the beginning!
In the 2001 Universiade, the Chinese team's young and tall center took on the U.S. team twice at critical moments, directly killing the game and defeating the U.S. team.
In the end, the Chinese team also reached the finals and won the runner-up.
Since then, Yao Ming has become famous all over the world, and in 2002 he achieved his wish and became the number one pick.
Today, Ryan faced a super scorer in the NCAA. At the critical moment, he also killed the game with two consecutive blocks.
Sometimes history is surprisingly similar.
So, will Ryan be the No. 1 pick in 2003?
Wesley stood up and applauded Ryan along with the fans around him.
Next, I will be very busy!
Update is here! Please beg me to read it, otherwise I will die!
