After the timeout, Wisconsin still failed to defend against the opponent's attack, and their counterattack was too sharp.

The best performance in the chaos was not Guo Xu, but Richardson. He was not as flexible as the defender, but his speed at the No. 4 position was too terrifying, and he was misplaced when counterattacked. Richardson was not at a loss on the defensive end. He could withstand the opponent's power forward, interfere with shooting, and protect rebounds, but he was slightly shorter.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Richardson averaged 25.3 points and 12.8 rebounds per game in the second grade, and was the first in the team in both statistics. His ability to control rebounds was stronger than that of the first-year fat man Randolph. Unfortunately, he chose to transform after entering the NBA. If he kept swinging at the 3 and 4 positions, he didn't know what data he could play.

The NCAA game was divided into 20 minutes each, and Richardson played the full half, hitting two three-pointers, two dunks, and a breakthrough layup, making a foul free throw. He performed very comprehensively, scoring 14 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.

Guo Xu played for 15 minutes, made 6 of 10 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, scored 16 points, 5 assists and 1 steal, and had no rebounds.

Cliffs also scored 8 points and 3 assists, and they looked more like a Trident.

Peterson's energy is mainly focused on the defensive end, making only one three-pointer, making 1 of 3 shots, and scoring 3 points.

Michigan led Wisconsin 28 points 45-17, and locked in the victory early. Fans who wanted to see them continue to be upset can take a shower and go to bed.

In the second half, Bennett changed his strategy and had to strengthen his offense to win, sending players who were good at shooting. In this way, Wisconsin's defense inevitably weakened.

Guo Xu made a three-pointer, made two layups, and broke through and passed the ball to assist his teammates many times. He easily scored two-double data in just 7 minutes, 23 points, 10 assists and 2 steals.

The score difference between the two sides was 37 points, and the game entered garbage time. Wisconsin players were unwilling to be massacred, and their defensive actions became increasingly large. In order to avoid injury to the core players, Izo replaced all the main players.

The substitutes kept their advantage until the end of the game, with Michigan State winning 76-45, first reaching the finals.

ESPN commentator Woodson said: "We were deeply impressed by two first-year players. Michigan State showed terrifying strength and beat their opponents with reservations. They deserved to be the number one seed of the year."

Hovas commented: "Jason Guo performed better than Martin Cliffs in this game. I think he is more like the core of this team and is fully capable of entering the NBA to play in the future. Although he is not tall, he is very tough on the defensive end, dares to fight and entangle his opponent. His sudden outbreak on the offensive end makes his opponent at a loss."

The whistle to the end of the game sounded, and Izo hugged Guo Xu on the sidelines, laughing so hard that he couldn't stop. He felt that the championship was stable, and Guo Xu's sudden explosion made them completely crush other teams in the lineup.

Guo Xu is in a good mood. Although he has not played for a long time, his data is the most beautiful in the team.

Moreover, he has not played with Wisconsin players in the time loop, so he is not familiar with the opponent and still has excellent performance. In the next game, he is confident that he can play better. In this game, he only knows his teammates, and in the end he knows even his opponents very well.

Returning to the locker room, Guo Xu took a quick shower. The first player to come out to chat with coach Tom Izzo alone. In order to ensure that he gets the MOP, he must have more playing time in the next game.

Guo Xu said his thoughts straight to the point. "Coach, I hope you can give me unlimited shots in the end. I will definitely perform better than this game and lead the team to win the championship easily."

Izo whispered: "The core of the team this year has always been Martin. I think he can perform well in the finals. He needs honors to participate in the draft in the summer."

Guo Xu guessed that the coach might arrange tactics for Cliffs, help him get MOP, and put a perfect end to his college career. It is understandable that Cliffs has made many contributions to the team over the past four years.

Guo Xu said seriously: "Coach, I will also participate in the NBA Draft at the end of this season. If I want to be selected, I need more honors. Believe me, it is more appropriate to play against the University of Florida."

Izo was stunned. "It's not over yet. Are you so sure Florida will advance?"

"I have studied the lineup of both sides. Florida will definitely win. I also know their weaknesses. As long as you believe me, I can guarantee that I will lead the team to win over them by more than 40 points."

Izo did not refuse at all. Guo Xu completely overwhelmed Cliffs in yesterday's training and today's performance. Although he was not sure how he suddenly became stronger, Izo believed that his strength was already at the NBA level.

Guo Xu has a greater tactical role in the team. He has a long range, strong organizational ability, and his playing style is varied. He can hold the ball and attack and play without the ball. Cliffs can only break through and is not good at adjusting. He is not very threatening to be taken two steps outside the three-point line, and has obvious weaknesses.

After thinking about it, Izo sighed: "Guo, your overall data this year is not beautiful, and even if you get the MOP draft pick, it won't be too high. Are you willing to play for the school for another year? You can be the core next season."

Guo Xu shook his head and smiled and said, "Sorry, you should be able to see that I am different from the past. I hope to compete in the NBA next season to face those stars. Please help me, unlike Martin, Morris, Jason and others. If I want to enter the NBA, I must have exposure. I am determined to win MOP."

Since Guo Xu is determined to win, he will grab the ball even if he doesn't have the right to the ball. Unless Izo is determined to arrange tactics for Cliffs throughout the game and let him sit on the bench, there will be problems with cooperation on the field, which is definitely not what Izo wants to see.

He dared to express his thoughts because he knew that Izo was not the kind of coach who would deliberately suppress young players. As long as he had the ability, he would definitely be reused. Now he would say it openly and he would not have conflicts with his teammates on the court.

Izo patted Guo Xu on the back and smiled bitterly: "Okay, as long as you are still in such a good state next time you train, I will talk to Martin to increase your ball rights and playing time, and perform well."

"We are going to win the championship, why do you smile so bitterly?" Guo Xu asked with a smile.

"Because after this season, the team is likely to break up." Izo sighed.

The NCAA team's lineup is not fixed, players play for up to four years, and good times are always very short. Coaches cannot force players to stay, and can only encourage them to go further in the future.

Guo Xu smiled and said, "At least we will leave behind the legend of the Michigan Fantastic Four this year, far better than the Five Tigers of that year."

"What the hell is this..."

There was no press conference in the NCAA semi-finals in this era, only reporters went to the locker room for interviews. Perhaps because Wisconsin was too weak, there were no star duels, and there were insufficient gimmicks, there were not many reporters coming to interview.

Several reporters interviewed Guo Xu and asked him: "Are you very happy to perform well in this game?"

Most people judge players' strength by per game data. Not everyone can see how high Guo Xu's true level is. Even Barry Hill, who is facing each other, is almost tortured by him.

Guo Xu did not refute and replied: "I am very happy. I will follow the coach's arrangements and try my best to help the team in the finals."
