St. John's University led 6 to 2, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
Conley was also quite excited after scoring. After yelling at the audience, he didn't think it was enough. When he turned around, he pouted and looked at Walker.
This is quite a provocative action, obviously to step on Walker while he is not in good condition.
Walker's face changed instantly. He had been holding back his energy before the game, and Conley's action directly stabbed him.
Tang Tian noticed the change in Walker's expression, and immediately put up the pick-and-roll in the frontcourt.
UConn’s classic tactic, Tang Tian took the ball away from the three-point line to take away Conley, Auriacchi then pulled to the free throw line for a second pick-and-roll, Walker misplaced and faced Johnson.
Johnson straightened his right hand. He gave Lamb a big shot in front of him, and he didn't mind giving Walker another one.
Moreover, the coach also arranged for Walker's current breakthrough habits before the game, directly blocking the left side to prevent Walker from having the opportunity to layup on the left side.
Walker saw Johnson's movement, a change of direction to the right, straightening his legs while his right foot landed, using his legs and hips instead, and directly jumped up with his right hand for a layup.
The continuous hard training finally paid off. He took off easily and comfortably, and immediately regained the feeling of playing before the injury.
His heart is calm, this is completely a matter of course.
This was completely out of Johnson's expectation, and it was too late for him to block the shot.
Walker easily hit the layup.
4 to 6, Kangda clinging to the score.
Conley took the ball to the frontcourt and continued to find Johnson's pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, he stuffed the ball to the basket and passed an early pass.
But Oriachi stuck Johnson at this time. Johnson saw that the ball couldn't pass, and saw the ball pass out of bounds.
A bad pass by Conley!
There was a commotion at the scene.
After consecutive offensive and defensive defeats, the momentum on the scene dropped significantly.
Walker advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Tang Tian continued to pick and roll for him, and Walker hit Diesel after the split.
Continuously changing directions from left to right, Diesel's golf quotient is online, but his talent is limited, and this ball obviously can't keep up with Walker's rhythm.
Walker turned to the right after lowering his body and passed Diesel directly, and then stepped for a layup.
There was an uproar at the scene.
They can feel that the Walker on the field has changed back to the Walker they were familiar with before.
At this time, Johnson bumped away from Oriachi and came to help defend, covering Walker's shot with his big hand and rushing.
He didn't cover the previous ball, so he must cover this one.
Walker saw the blocked Johnson.
Instead, when he just came back from injury, because he didn't dare to use his right foot, he basically didn't have the ability to stay in the air. Generally, he couldn't score when he encountered such a defense.
But now after changing the way of exerting force, he has completely dared to make moves. When striding, he exerted enough strength, dodged with a lever in the air, and switched to the left side for a layup.
Johnson was not reconciled to being shaken, and reached out to Lavok before landing.
Walker was drawn, but the ball in his hand was already thrown.
"beep!"
"Shh!"
The bottom line referee blew his whistle to signal Johnson's pulling foul. After Walker's shot, the ball whirled in the air and crossed a small parabola, and followed it into the net.
A nice 2+1!
There was a burst of excited cheers from the UConn bench, and Napier rushed to the sidelines with a towel and waved it violently.
The fans at the scene were restless.
When Walker got the chance to add a penalty, he held his breath and hit the extra penalty against the boos all over the sky.
UConn overtook the score 7-6!
"Come on! Red Storm!"
Driven by the DJ, the audience continued to cheer for the home team.
Conley and Johnson played a pick-and-roll. This time he made a false fax and squeezed the ball away from Oriachi's layup.
However, Oriachi straightened his hands to cover the angle of his shot, and his last shot was touched by Oriachi's fingers.
One block and the ball hits the floor.
Tang Tian had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly rushed to the ground to grab the ball. After grabbing it, he saw Lamb was beside him, so he threw the ball over with his hands.
Lamb controlled the ball, Walker ran from the three-point line at this time, and he passed the ball with a flick.
Walker caught the ball fast break, and Conley buried his head behind him at this time and chased after him.
Walker now dares to use his strength, and the whole person continues to speed up.
Amidst the exclamation of the fans, Walker with the ball threw away Conley without the ball, rushed to the frontcourt and slammed with both hands after jumping!
Conley didn't even get a chance to foul!
After Walker scored a goal, he roared at the audience on the sidelines, and then turned his head and gave Conley a cold look.
In the past three minutes or so, he personally scored 7 points in a row. This is the consequence of Conley irritating him.
The audience was restless. After this period of time, they were very convinced that the king of Kangda had recovered after nearly a month of silence!
ps: I just heard a good news, the reset version of war3 is really coming this time!As a fan of war3, I am a little bit excited!
Chapter 59 Any surprises? (plus more)
St. John's reached out and called a timeout.
Walker took the initiative to find Tang Tian when he was off the court, and gave a very powerful high five.
Tang Tian teased him yesterday, and he responded with actions: I won't go, it's to recharge my energy for the game, not cowardice!
With a smile on Tang Tian's face, Walker regained his form, which is the best thing for Kangda.
Back from the timeout, St. John's University's offense, Conley's organization on the outside with the ball.
There was a hand-to-hand fight at the basket at this time, and Johnson and Oriachi were fighting naked for the position.
In the end, Johnson managed to get to the inside position, and Conley went in with a lob. Johnson's turn and shot caused Auriachi's defensive foul.
This is a true traditional center style of play.
Johnson made one of two free throws.
The score was 9 to 7, and UConn took the lead.
Walker took the ball to the frontcourt and continued to play pick-and-roll with Tang Tian.
After regaining his form, he and Tang Tian's pick-and-roll began to show lethality again.
Bao Walker, Tang Tian can shoot, and almost never misses;
Not including Walker, Walker's consecutive scoring in the previous period was the result.
This trick is almost unsolvable.
St. John's University chose to double-team Walker, but it was a double-team from the far end. Their forward abandoned Smith and contracted directly.
Walker distributed the ball to Smith. Smith had a chance to catch the ball, but hesitated and missed the shot.
For a role player like him, after a missed shot in the opening game, he doesn't have much confidence in his shots.
The ball was given to Lamb, and Lamb forced the opponent's center to be interfered by Diesel and missed the goal. Johnson protected the defensive rebound.
There was a burst of cheers at the scene. After being scored consecutively by Walker, the home team finally defended a round.
Returning to the frontcourt, Johnson continued to fight Oriachi hand-to-hand. Diesel hit the ball inside. Johnson missed the shot, but made a tip-up and made Oriachi a thug foul.
Oriachi is a big white man with height, but he is at a disadvantage against this kind of black and tough.
UConn's internal strength is not strong, and Auriachi can't handle Johnson, let alone Forsyth as a substitute.
Calhoun frowned.
Although Johnson's technique is rough, his lethality is not much weaker than that of Monroe when he hits so hard.
Johnson's two free throw opportunities.
Two from St. John's University and three from UConn are on both sides of the free throw line.
"Alex, let's switch defenses next round." Tang Tian said to Ori Aqi on the opposite side.
"boom!"
Johnson's first free throw was missed.
He frowned and looked at Tang Tian, feeling that he was disturbed by words.
Even a big man like Auriachi couldn't guard against him, but a swinging power forward like Tang Tian actually said he wanted to guard him?
Auriachi looked at Tang Tian suspiciously, and he didn't know what way Tang Tian was doing.
"You have committed two crimes." Tang Tian reminded.
Only then did Oriachi come to his senses and nodded.
"Shh!"
Johnson's second free throw.
Still made one of two free throws.
After the penalty, he couldn't help smiling, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
Tang Tian's words were correct. During the timeout, the head coach wanted him to beat Auriachi hard.
Now Calhoun dare not make substitutions, which means that they have seized the weakness of UConn. As long as they play a few more rounds, St. John's University will be able to take the initiative back.
As for Tang Tian saying that he wanted to switch defenses, he didn't believe it. After all, the difference in size between the two was too great. The latter said what he said was the same as what he thought, and he just wanted to interfere with his free throws.
But it's a pity that St. John's University's goal is to beat Oriachi. Like before, it is not the most important to make a penalty or not.
"Rosek, you can play an off-ball pick-and-roll for Jeremy when you're free." Tang Tian said to Smith again as he walked forward.
Smith nodded.
Tang Tian has played so many games in Kangda, so many successful judgments have won him the trust of his teammates.
And Smith really didn't want to vote, and he was a little lost standing in the empty seat. Tang Tian's words made him find a new job to do.
UConn's frontcourt offense was still initiated by Tang Tian and Walker's pick-and-roll, and Walker continued to break through with the ball.
St. John's University came faster and more resolutely in defense this time.
Smith was left empty again. This time, he didn't stand still and wait for the ball. Instead, according to what Tang Tian said, he took the initiative to raise the high position to do an off-ball pick-and-roll for Lamb.
Lamb used the pick-and-roll to run out of space.
Walker flicks the ball out of the double-team.
It was a good opportunity for Lamb to catch the ball, and he got up and pulled it out directly.
"Shh!"
His state is quite stable, and the mid-range shot hit again.
"Beautiful!" Ollie shouted excitedly from the bench.
Calhoun breathed a sigh of relief, Tang Tian was a really good on-court coach, he could at least save half of his energy.
11 to 8, the situation on the field is still deadlocked.
Conley advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, still unhurriedly signaling Johnson to position inside.
But at this moment, something that no one expected happened, Tang Tian and Auriachi switched defenses!
"What is he doing, Tang?" Ollie was stunned. Tang Tian did not play his cards according to common sense, and this deployment was also outside the plan of the coaching staff!
Calhoun said nothing.
