The invincible kryptonite of basketball

He couldn't find the answer, just like he didn't know why Tang Tian didn't shoot when he had a three-pointer.

But at his age, he couldn't figure out many things, so he didn't think too much about it. Anyway, if Tang Tian was quick at tactics, it would be the best thing for him.

The hard bone of Georgetown was not gnawed last time. If you want to win this time, you must have some new tricks.

The five-day training was over, because Tang Tian's tactical moves were much better than expected, and these tactics have already achieved some success, which made the players more confident in the upcoming games.

That night, the school gymnasium was already full of spectators, and the fans couldn't wait for the game.

The last time Georgetown bloodbathed Kangda under the leadership of Monroe, this time at home, it's time for them to take revenge.

What made them look forward even more was that the campus media released the news before the game that Tang Tian would start the game, which made them look forward to the game even more.

When the University of Connecticut players came out of the locker room, they felt that the atmosphere tonight was extraordinarily hot. The fans waved the cheering signs that had been prepared a long time ago, and some spectators even pulled out " Defeat Georgetown" banner came out.

This enthusiasm is completely understandable.

In addition to being bloodbathed by opponents before, there is another reason. Georgetown's historical status is similar to that of UConn. Because they are both in the Big East, there is no shortage of grievances between the two teams.

In 1984, Georgetown University won the NCAA championship under the leadership of "Gorilla" Patrick Ewing. NBA superstar.

In addition, they are also one of the few teams in the NCAA that is playing Princeton tactics.

This tactic will require them to have an excellent big man, like Ewing at the beginning, Mutombo later, Mourning, and now Monroe.

UConn's internal line has not been strengthened, which makes it very difficult for them to deal with Monroe, but the fans now believe in their team, because they have completed eight consecutive victories in the past, and they just bloodbathed the second in the league a few days ago Providence College!

Winning George Town and winning nine consecutive victories is their biggest expectation!

Chapter 30 Inside Beast (1000 votes plus update today)

"This is a strong duel. According to our pre-match record ranking, no matter who wins this game, it will rise to the second position in the league." The pre-match commentary also began to create an atmosphere on the scene.

"Yes, UConn and the others are in good form, and they are playing at home again. They definitely want to continue to expand their winning streak, but Georgetown's Monroe will definitely not agree. He scored 30 points in the last match between the two teams! 21 rebounds! Data, I heard that Tang from UConn will be the new starting No. [-], which is not a very good choice in such a game." The guest commentator said.

Monroe is a traditional center, with a height of 2 meters and a weight of 11 kg. He is a beast inside in the NCAA.

At this time, Kangda will play Tang Tian with Orlande, and it will indeed become even more disadvantageous on the defensive end.

You must know that Tang Tian's defense was good before and he faced small forwards or shooting guards. The defensive effect of this kind of big center is definitely not as good as that of Orlande.

"We don't know Cajon's tactical intentions, but I'm still looking forward to Don's debut. He has brought us too many surprises in the past."

While the two commentators were speaking, the players of the two teams completed their final warm-up before the game, and the starters also appeared one after another.

On the UConn side, Walker and Lamb are on the outside, Smith and Tang Tian are on the front line, and Oriachi is the center.

Greg Monroe led the charge at Georgetown University.

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Oriachi and Monroe jumped the ball in the midfield.

Monroe pushed the ball back to the half court by pressing Oriachi.

Oriachi's height is a little taller than Monroe's, but Monroe's wingspan is much better, and coupled with his faster reaction speed, this call is very easy.

The Georgetown defender pushed the ball upfield and gave it straight to Monroe.

Princeton Tactics is a set of tactics developed by Pete Carrell when he was at Princeton University. Its core idea is to move the ball. Through the organization and support of the center in the high position, it can perform unlimited air-cut reverse running. Here, find the best opportunity to make a move.

After Monroe held the ball at this moment, the Georgetown University wing players were constantly playing off-ball pick-and-rolls and air cuts.

However, Calhoun obviously concluded after the last loss. At this time, a 2-1-2 defensive formation was placed on the field. After the players defended their respective areas, they did not give Georgetown University a good chance to attack. .

Seeing that his teammates had no chance, Monroe leaned his back against Oriachi, turned around and walked directly to the basket.

Oriachi chases from behind, trying to block Monroe like he blocked Lavoy Allen.

But Monroe's finishing ability is obviously much stronger than that of Allen, and he smashed the basket violently with a one-handed split.

Georgetown is the next city.

UConn's offense, Walker used Tang Tian's pick-and-roll to break through the basket and squeeze past the defensive player's rebound.

However, he underestimated the speed of Monroe's defense. As soon as the ball was shot, Monroe's big hand had already covered it.

"boom!"

Walker's shot was directly slapped off the field by Monroe!

After Monroe blocked the block, he roared towards the sidelines.

There was a commotion at the scene.

This is Greg Monroe. He spent one year at Georgetown University. Now in his junior year, he averaged 17.7 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 2 blocks per game. He is already the top insider in the NCAA players.

UConn's sideline ball, Walker's emergency stop throw missed after a breakthrough, and Monroe pressed Oriachi to receive a defensive rebound.

Oriachi is tall and can get a lot of offensive rebounds in most games, but now he has no advantage in front of Monroe.

After Monroe got the rebound, Georgetown was not in a hurry to attack, and the guard slowly dribbled to the frontcourt.

Unlike other colleges and universities that are speeding up, Georgetown University has always adhered to the traditional style of play. Playing Princeton, the slow offensive rhythm is also one of their characteristics.

It is still Monroe's high-level organizational support.

UConn's defense was also very hard, and Monroe once again chose to turn around and attack the basket.

Oriachi has worked very hard, but still can't keep up.

But at this moment, Tang Tian gave up his defenders and came directly to help defend.

"boom!"

His help defense was timely, but Monroe didn't slow down and collided with him directly.

The referee blew his whistle to signal Tang Tian's blocking foul.

Pulled up by Walker and Smith, Tang Tian couldn't help rubbing his chest.

This hit really hurts, Monroe is really a beast inside.

And it's a defensive foul.

He thought that he still had to find a way to earn some krypton gold, which could be exchanged for a diving actor or something, otherwise all such defense would be for nothing.

Because the number of fouls in the half was less than 6, Georgetown University directly served the sideline.

There is not much time left in the attack. There was a pick-and-roll off the ball in Georgetown, and Monroe was misplaced to face Tang Tian.

After Georgetown sent the ball to the outside line, the defender was directly ready to hang in.

Because Monroe has excellent passing skills, Kangda didn't dare to double-team easily at this time.

There was a commotion at the scene, Tang Tian was knocked into the air by Monroe just now, and now he has to fight against Monroe again, this first time starting experience is a bit miserable!

The back door saw the lob at the right time, and Monroe was also ready to catch the ball.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly squeezed out from beside him.

Tang Tian!

He wouldn't be so stupid as to wait for Monroe to hit him on the back!

In the collision just now, he already knew that the physical confrontation between the two was not at the same level, and waiting for the other party to hit him back was completely looking for abuse.

Monroe's strength and confrontation are his advantages, but his speed is definitely not as good as him.

When Monroe turned his back, he was already doing a half-circle forward movement, and when the defender came out of the ball, he directly half-circled forward and rushed out.

Monroe lost his support point and couldn't use his strength. He watched Tang Tian flash out from his side, and then suddenly cut off the defender's lob!

The restlessness at the scene directly turned into cheers.

Ollie also stood up excitedly.

This is a typical game with your brain!

After Tang Tian stole the ball, he gave it to the nearest Lamb, and Lamb gave it to Walker. Walker accelerated from the backcourt to the frontcourt and scored a fast break layup.

In positional warfare, Monroe protects the restricted area like an iron barrel, but his speed cannot keep up with this fast break!

Kangda also finally scored!

For Georgetown University's offense, Monroe continued to support at a high position. This time his teammates ran a good three-pointer, and he flicked the ball out.

"boom!"

Monroe is very strong, but everyone else in Georgetown is limited. This open three-point shot is obviously short, and the ball bounces high at the front of the basket.

Oriachi stretched out his hand to grab the defensive rebound, but at this moment Monroe went to the basket, like a dark cloud covering the sky, stretched his hand above his head for a penalty, and directly put in the basket to score!

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

For a center forward, wingspan is the greatest talent, and Monroe is absolutely crushed by talent at this moment.

Chapter 31 "Assistant Coaches"

4 to 2, Georgetown University took the lead again.

Cajon got up and walked to the sidelines at this time, his expression was not relaxed.

Originally, he hoped to use Tang Tian's speed advantage to supplement the defense. Tang Tian also played very smartly, but because of the absolute gap in confrontation with Monroe, he did not achieve the desired effect.

UConn's offense, Walker still failed to make a mid-range jumper after breaking through, and Monroe received a defensive rebound.

Monroe's deterrence in the penalty area was too great, which forced Kangda not to break through, and could only concentrate more offenses in the middle and long distances.

But catching up with Walker didn't feel very good.

Looking back, Monroe fell directly to the low post, received a pass from his teammate and hit Oriachi with his back.

Oriachi suffered too much in the confrontation with the rebound shots after turning around continuously, and the interference he gave was very limited.

The ball went into the frame, and Georgetown University led 6-2.

The score didn't increase very fast, but because of Monroe's existence, the score difference was opened up a little bit.

It's like a grinding disc, it doesn't have a sharp edge, but it can grind things down little by little.

About 10 minutes into the first half, Georgetown University led UConn by 17 points 9-8.

There are not many points, and the point difference is not big, but they just can't catch up.

Since the opening, Georgetown University has been overwhelmed by Kangda.

Kang yelled a timeout, and Calhoun held the tactical board and didn't speak for a while.

He prepared a lot before the game, including Tang Tian playing the starting four position, including 2-1-2 help defense, but in the face of the absolute strength gap in the interior, none of these things worked.

"Grandpa, why don't you double-team Monroe?" Ollie suggested seeing that Calhoun was silent.

"Monroe can pass." Calhoun shook his head.

If it's just a strong insider, he has a hundred ways to deal with it, but Monroe, like those seniors in Georgetown, Ewing and Mourning, are all-around centers who can attack and pass. Georgetown's offense was completely alive.

The best way to defend Monroe is to have someone who can withstand it, but it is a pity that UConn does not have it now.

Ollie's opinion was refuted, and Cajon didn't speak again. The timeout of Kangda seemed to be so wasted.

"We can play three-pointers." Tang Tian said at this time.

His words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The coaches are discussing tactics, and players generally cannot intervene. If they want to intervene, it is usually the core of the team like Walker.

But most of the eyes looking at Tang Tian at this time were not blame, but doubts.

In the past, whether it was against Marquette University or Washington State University, Tang Tian had more or less shown his talent in coaching.

"Do you mean to use new tactics?" Calhoun understood Tang Tian's meaning.

Although he didn't say anything before, he actually thought about it. It's just because he is not yet proficient in the new tactics, and it is not a small risk to put it on.

Tang Tian nodded. Monroe was only strong on the inside. He couldn't defend against the three-point line. With Monroe ruling the penalty area, playing three-point tactics was the best choice.

It's just that Tang Tian is the only stable three-pointer in UConn now. Walker and Lamb are both unstable, so they can only play new tactics.
