The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"boom!"

Another missed shot.

……

Under the watchful eyes of his teammates, Lamb hit Tang Tian 7 times in a row, was blocked 1 time and cut off 2 times, and hit the iron 1 times once.

But Lamb never gave up, maybe he couldn't step down in front of so many teammates, maybe he was really unwilling.

Lamb's ninth singles, the continuous singles exhausted him a lot, and his shot point was obviously a bit low.

Tang Tian blocked the shot, and directly threw the ball onto Lamb, causing Lamb to fall to the ground.

Napier covered his face at this moment and couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

Tang Tian's current defensive ability can even defend against Brooks, and Lamb is really a younger brother in front of him!

"Are you still coming?" Tang Tian looked at Lamb on the ground coldly this time.

Lamb didn't speak. After taking a breath, he stood up and walked back to the three-point line with the ball.

His 10th offensive attempt.

Ollie was about to get up and call stop at this time, but was stopped by Cajon.

After all, Calhoun has coached the NCAA for 40 years, and he has already seen what Tang Tian wants to do.

Lamb's tenth breakthrough, he took a deep breath before the breakthrough, held his breath and rushed into Tang Tian's arms to fight hard, and then shot.

This hit was very hard.

Tang Tian felt it. He had a chance to block it, but he deliberately took it.

"boom!"

Lamb's post-contest shot hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

Seeing the ball go in, Lamb shouted excitedly at Tang Tian with a ruthless expression on his face.

"Oh~oh~"

Seeing that the posture was wrong, Napier hurried to the field and stood between the two to prevent further conflict between the two.

Tang Tian smiled at this moment.

"Do you only know how to mess around?"

"You wait! You will see!" Lamb said angrily, then turned and left the training hall.

Lamb's departure brought the trash-talking heads-up to an end, and most of the teammates didn't feel relieved after watching it for a long time.

"Don, do you think it's really useful?" Walker limped over at this moment.

"I hope so." Tang Tian said.

Lamb was actually defended quite badly by him just now. Normally speaking, his mentality should have collapsed early, but he didn't. This shows that in the process just now, the hurdle in his heart has probably been crossed.

"You sacrificed too much." Walker said and patted Tang Tian on the shoulder.

On the last ball, he could see that Tang Tian gave way on purpose, but was yelled at by Lamb.

"Is there?" Tang Tian replied with a smile, compared to Walker's sacrifice, his points can actually be ignored.

Chapter 41 failed?

UConn's next game is against Marquette University.

This is the second and last time the two sides have met each other this season.

Unlike last time, this time the game was played at the home court of Marquette University.

Walker is still going with the team. He doesn't seem to be limping anymore, but the strain itself depends on support, and he is still half a month away from his comeback.

Walker can't play, and UConn has just suffered a wave of three-game losing streak. For Marquette University, this is an excellent opportunity for them to revenge.

And the outcome of this game is also critical to Marquette University. If they can win, they will rise from eighth to seventh in the league, otherwise they will fall to ninth.

The pre-match shots showed Jimmy Butler, the core of the team, with a serious expression on his face.

As the hardest-trained player in the NCAA, he, like Walker, is always thinking about how to lead the team to victory.

Marquette University had a good record at the beginning of the season, but it has been ups and downs since then, and it is still fighting for a place in the championship game, which puts a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

Although Lavoy Allen has left UConn, he has a good relationship with the team's backup center Forses. Now he saw the opponent sitting on the sidelines and was going to say hello.

"What are you doing?" But he was stopped by Butler just two steps away.

After Butler called to stop him, he walked straight towards him.

"I just went to say hello, Alexander is my friend." Allen explained.

"He is not your friend. They are our opponents and enemies now." Butler said.

Allen froze for a moment.

"Go back to training." After Butler finished speaking, he directly pulled Allen back.

Butler is the boss of the team. Although Allen is a little reluctant, it is not easy to show it.

The pre-match training of the two teams is over, and the starting players of both sides have appeared on the field one after another.

There was a huge cheer.

Although Marquette University's record has ups and downs, it has played very hard in every game under the leadership of Butler. Such a team also has a high status in the hearts of fans.

Every time there is a game, the stadium is full of seats, and the fans express their support for the team in their most fanatical way.

When Butler came on the court, he patted his chest and pointed to the sky, and then took a deep breath.

On the UConn side, Walker sat on the sidelines in a suit and leather shoes, replacing Napier who started him, and the other four starting players remained the same as before.

"Grandpa, do you really think it's okay?" Ollie turned to look at Calhoun.

What happened on the training ground a few days ago is still fresh in his memory. After the one-on-one match that day, Lamb never said a word in the training session.

"I'll know soon." Calhoun's expression was relatively calm.

Ollie hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak.

To be honest, Calhoun will retire this year, and he will be the head coach next season. When Walker leaves, Lamb will be his core. If Lamb is broken by Tang Tianzheng's mentality, he really doesn't know who to turn to. complain.

"beep!"

As the referee blew his whistle, Oriachi returned the ball to Kang's first half, and the game officially began.

Napier took the ball to the frontcourt. Tang Tian mentioned the high pick-and-roll.

Thanks to Tang Tian's restraint from outside the three-point line, this tactic has become one of UConn's regular tactics. The difference is that the initiator has now changed from Walker to Napier.

Napier's strength is two gears behind Walker's, but his breakthrough speed is still good. Seeing that Marquette University did not double-team him, he accelerated to throw off the opponent's power forward and rushed to the basket.

Allen came over to help defend, and Napier leaned on his left hand for a low layup.

The two were on the same team before, and Napier knew his defensive habits, and this one just avoided the block.

"boom!"

The ball hit the backboard after the shot and bounced into the net bag.

Kangda took the lead in scoring.

"What are you doing?! Cover him! Have you forgotten what happened before?" Butler turned around and yelled at Allen. He was obviously dissatisfied with Allen's defense of the ball just now. You must know that it was not Walker who scored just now but Neil Peel.

Allen's expression became serious after being yelled at.

In Marquette University's offense, Butler held the ball and was marked by Tang Tian. He didn't make a strong attack. Seeing that Allen had a chance in the high post, he flicked his hands and passed the ball.

After receiving the ball, Allen leaned against Oriachi, turned around and made a mid-range jumper.

Oriachi's speed was a bit behind.

"Shh!"

Allen's mid-range shot also scored the first point for Marquette University.

Butler took the initiative to reach out and slapped him hard.

"That's it, beat them!"

His spiritual attributes are indeed high, and Allen's entire state is mobilized by him.

"It's okay, just stick it tighter." On Kangda's side, Tang Tian said to Ori Aqi.

Oriachi nodded.

Napier advanced the ball to the front court, the same tactic, but this time Allen defended well, and he had no chance to dribble the ball back beyond the three-point line.

More than half of the 35-second attack time, he reached out to call his teammates to play new tactics.

Tang Tian began to use Smith's pick-and-roll to run the corner three-pointer.

After scoring 7 points on 21 shots against Georgetown, Tang Tian's open three-pointer has been heavily marked by the opponent. Now not only the opponent's forward is following him, but Butler also appears between Napier and him, cutting off the Passing route.

UConn's tactics were targeted, but after Tang Tian distracted Marquette University's defensive attention, Lamb had a chance at a 45-degree angle on the other side.

Napier flicks the pass.

Lamb got a very good chance for an open three-pointer. After receiving the ball, he didn't hesitate and shot directly.

"boom!"

The ball was thrown a bit heavy, hitting the back edge of the basket and bouncing high.

He still couldn't make the shot.

"Failed?" Oli couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he saw this scene.

At this moment, Oriachi took advantage of his height and took off the offensive rebound above Allen's head.

A figure rushed from the outside line to the inside line.

It's Lamb.

After he missed the shot, he had already rushed in.

After seeing it, Oriachi shook his hand and passed the ball. Lamb caught the ball and shot against Allen's defense.

Allen was struggling to block the shot at this time, and his defensive attitude was obviously better than when he was defending Napier earlier.

His wingspan is excellent, completely covering Lamb's release angle.

But Lamb showed his talent at this time, dodging with a small lever in the air, avoiding Allen before shooting.

"Snapped!"

Allen's block hit Lamb's hand, his body was confiscated, and Lamb was knocked down to the ground.

The referee on the sidelines whistled to signal Allen's defensive foul.

"boom!"

Lamb's shot hit the backboard, bounced a bit and rolled into the net.

ball, in.

This is a 2+1!

Chapter 42 Some people are born with itchy skin

When Lamb saw the ball go in, he roared excitedly on the ground and thumped the floor before being pulled up by Smith who rushed over.

Ollie was overjoyed when he saw this scene.

He was worried about whether Lamb's mentality had collapsed when he missed the previous goal, but now it seems that he is not at all.

After all, he missed so many shots in the previous game, it is a bit too demanding for him to recover his touch as soon as he goes up.
