Chapter 80 Fight to Fame
With two three-pointers in a row, it was a bit confusing to play Arizona University directly.
The difference was also re-opened to 8 points.
"Pay attention to retreat! Pay attention to retreat!" Miller shouted at the players on the sidelines at this time, and after shouting, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
In the tense battle situation, the new shirt he had just changed into at halftime was already soaking wet again.
Williams chose to make a frontal breakthrough after receiving the ball, but Tang Tian forced him to stop directly and almost succeeded in consecutive steals.
Williams was forced to give the ball to Fogg, who broke through Lamb, and the jumper after the emergency stop was interfered by Lamb's long arm and missed.
Auriarch did not give Perry a chance this time, and directly pocketed the defensive rebounds.
Arizona has gone 4 straight possessions without scoring.
In the offense of Kangda, Tang Tian continued to play pick-and-roll with Walker.
The fans of the University of Arizona are a little desperate. After the University of Concord came up in the second half, this trick was used, and it worked every time!
It was still the ball after dismantling. This time, Williams rushed out fiercely and saw Tang Tianfei jump up.
Tang Tian saw Williams' aggressive appearance, and still chose to shoot, but his shot was obviously slower than normal.
A bad rhythm.
"Snapped!"
Williams didn't have time to stop, and directly hit Tang Tian's arm.
The referee blew the whistle to signal a three-point foul.
After being beaten, Tang Tian fell to the ground and fell back to protect himself. Now lying on the ground, looking at Williams, who was jumping on the spot, he suddenly couldn't help laughing.
It turns out that being a player is not the same as being a coach to make opponents anxious. Well, the former is obviously more enjoyable.
Walker and Lamb came over and pulled Tang Tian up, and they were a little confused when they saw his smile.
Although making a three-point foul is a good thing, Tang Tian's smile was too exaggerated.
Tang Tian went to the free throw line with a smile and made all three free throws despite the boos from the sky.
He has never seen any big scenes as a coach in his previous life, and he is definitely the best in terms of psychological quality.
After these three free throws, Kangda's 13-0 attack wave has reopened the point difference to 11 points.
Miller reached out and called a timeout. If he didn't call a timeout, the game would be explained here in advance.
The players of the University of Concord came off the field, and the bench was boiling for a while. They made an extremely strong opening.
Kahun also looked at Tang Tian with admiration at this time. If it wasn't for Tang Tian's "self-recommendation" at halftime, in the state of Williams when he came up in the second half, the team behind by a large score at this time should be Kang. big.
"Maintain the intensity, hold on for another 15 minutes, let's go to Charlotte together!" The team is now tactically favorable, and he doesn't need to say more on the tactical level, but more on the spiritual level to encourage the players.
(Note: Charlotte is one of the Western Conference semifinals, which is one of the 16-8 NCAA tournament venues.)
After the suspension came back, Hill broke through and scored a goal in the frontcourt of Arizona University, temporarily stabilizing the situation on the field.
Looking back, Tang Tian and Walker continued to play pick-and-rolls.
This time Walker passed the ball with an advance, and Tang Tian took a step to catch the ball.
However, the purpose of Walker's passing of this advance was to block Williams. The University of Arizona did not make any substitutions. Williams was blocked by Walker, and Tang Tian was another big vacancy!
He received the ball one step beyond the three-point line, took a step to the three-point line, and shot at the frame.
The fans of the University of Arizona have already covered their faces in disgust.
"Shh!"
But they covered their eyes but not their ears, and the sound of basketball entering the net came directly through the loudspeaker.
Tang Tianxia's third three-pointer shot in the half, and he went in!
Three three-pointers in a row!
The difference is 12 points again!
At this time, even Olsen, who was sitting on the sidelines, was a little excited, waving his hands and screaming and cheering with the fans of the University of Konan.
"Haha, I like this kid so much, he changed the situation on the field!" Ben Gordon couldn't help laughing.
"Well, I think the school really has a chance to reproduce our original glory this year." Okafor nodded in agreement.
The last time UConn won the championship was in 2004. At that time, the two cores of the team were Okafor and Ben Gordon. The two entered the league with a second and a third overall that year.
At this time, it wasn't just them, even the scouts were whispering, obviously they didn't know Tang Tian before.
This is the role of the NCAA tournament stage. The core of some schools may be able to attract the attention of NBA teams through beautiful data, get some trial opportunities, and then land in the NBA, but for role players, the championship is where they show themselves. the biggest stage.
Tang Tian's performance in this period even overshadowed Williams and Walker on the field, and it was difficult for scouts to not pay attention.
The offense of the University of Arizona, or Hill, made a quick stop mid-range shot.
Williams was restricted by Tang Tian, and Hill stepped forward to extend his life for the University of Arizona.
The role players on both sides were fighting for a while, and the scouts never stopped.
Kangda's attack, the same tactics, Walker still blocked Tang Tian, Tang Tian received the ball and then shot.
"Shh!"
There are still shots!
Fourth 3-pointer of the second half!
The Kangda fans have been completely fried.
At this moment, there was a rapid whistle on the field. It turned out that Williams was eager to squeeze past Walker and directly overturned Walker to the ground, and was called a technical foul by the referee.
This is obviously urgent.
The three-pointer is valid, and Kangda also gets a free throw.
Miller called a timeout again.
When Tang Tian was on the field, he was greeted with heroic cheers from his teammates.
In this section, he scored 4 three-pointers and three free throws, and has already scored 15 points in a row!
"Outstanding defense, high ball intelligence, very stable open three-pointer ability, top NCAA 3D players, have a great possibility to gain a firm foothold in the NBA, and have a second-round draft prospect."
On most scouts' tablets, there is already a long note about Tang Tian.
In the previous regular season and championship games, although Tang Tian also had outstanding performances, scouts would not pay attention to those games. Only in such games, a good game is better than ten games.
Tang Tian became famous in the first battle.
After the suspension came back, Walker made a technical free throw, and Kangda has expanded its lead to 14 points!
Continuing UConn's possession, Smith's catch and layup also scored, and the point difference continued to widen to 16 points.
Looking back, Hill's breakthrough was also interrupted by Oriarch, Williams was stuck by Tang Tian and couldn't jump up, and Tang Tian took advantage of the situation and won the defensive rebound.
Seeing that the game was about to lose its suspense, the University of Arizona's defense changed again. The person defending Tang Tian became Hill, and Williams switched to Smith.
It's a nice adjustment, Hill is much faster than Williams, and he has a big arm, reaching out to interfere with Walker's return pass.
Walker had no chance in a circle, and finally his own attack was also guarded by Perry.
The scene footage was given to Miller again. Although the white shirt of the young coach was already wet and could no longer be wet, I have to say that he performed quite well in the fight with Kahon.
