The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Judging from the previous performance, the former is obviously more likely.

"Who is he?"

Let alone Butler at this time, most of the fans at the scene were a little confused.

The NCAA team roster is not limited, which leads to frequent personnel changes on the team. The players who can be remembered by the fans are the core of the team or at least the players who are also at the rotation level. I know it's normal.

"Isn't this Tang Tian?" Someone in the audience asked.

"Who is Tang Tian?" This sentence immediately attracted the attention of the people around.

"My roommate!"

"..."

"No, isn't he a work-study caddy? Why did he play on the field?"

Apart from the team members, no one else knew about Tang Tian's joining the school team, including his roommates.

But the words of Tang Tian's roommate immediately caused a commotion among the fans.

Kangda, actually got a caddy? !

And the ball boy was guarding Marquette ace Jimmy Butler? !

Cajon is old and short-circuited in his brain!

Of course they didn't say it out loud, they just thought in their hearts.

But just thinking about it is enough to drive people crazy.

Holland's defense in front of Butler is like paper. This caddy looks wider than the main road in the morning.

Just when they were complaining in their hearts, Butler had recovered and launched an offense with the ball.

He dribbled the ball to the right and leaned on Tang Tian's body to make a breakthrough.

This trick is Butler's forte in offense, and it has been tried and tested against Holland before.

This time it seems to be hand-made.

But soon there was a commotion at the scene.

Because Tang Tian stubbornly grabbed the defensive position and never let Butler go into the penalty area.

After a few steps, Butler forced the ball to stop!

This happened so suddenly!

Even because the expectations in their hearts fell to the bottom, this gave the fans an indescribable sense of surprise.

Butler didn't expect that this substitute player, whom he had never seen before, would grab the defensive position so well.

And after he stopped the ball, the opponent straightened his hands and pressed up immediately, not giving him room to make an easy shot.

He was forced to choose to pass the ball.

"Snapped!"

Just as he was lifting the ball, the opponent suddenly jumped up and broke the ball in his hand!

Defense, forcing Butler back, and then stealing the ball.

On the defensive end, Tang Tian was stunned to play with the fluency only on the offensive end!

Tang Tian gave the ball to Walker immediately after stealing the ball. Walker rushed to the frontcourt from the backcourt. After being double-teamed, he gave the ball to Lamb. Lamb quickly scored a layup.

Kangda hit a 4-0 spurt!

"Who the hell is he?!" At this moment, the fans beside him couldn't help but ask after Tang Tian's roommate.

"My roommate!"

"...is your roommate a caddy?"

"Yes!"

"Are you bluffing? Can the ball boy play? And he defends so well?"

"I...how do I know!"

……

The fans couldn't figure out why, but the name Tang Tian gradually spread in the audience.

It turned out that the man who guarded Butler just now, the man with yellow skin, was named Tang Tian.

Because of his skin color, Tang Tian seemed to have made most of the fans remember his name in just one round.

"Defense! Defense!"

Driven by the DJ, the fans at the scene began to cheer for the home team again.

After a small climax, the fans at the scene were in high spirits, and the shouts were especially loud at the moment.

Butler went to the frontcourt and reached out to the defender for the ball, and then chose to hit Tang Tian with his back.

As a senior, he still has a lot of experience. He knew that he couldn't take advantage of it after a round of confrontation.

Turning around suddenly after the back hit, Butler turned around and was about to kill at the basket.

"boom!"

But the moment he turned around, he bumped into Tang Tian, ​​and almost lost the ball in his hand.

Tang Tian, ​​who was supposed to be left behind by him, actually appeared directly on the route of his breakthrough!

As a top defender, he immediately realized that this substitute player who came out of nowhere is not necessarily worse than him in defense!

Chapter 6 Field Coach

Individual defense (Tony Allen) is a purple skill, the direct effect is to reduce the opponent's shooting rate by 10%, and has a certain chance to steal the opponent.

But in fact, its basis is to improve the owner in terms of reaction, speed, prediction, etc., so that it has the NBA's top individual defensive capabilities.

Tang Tian's current body is not as strong as Tony Allen's, which prevents him from fully displaying the strength of this skill. This is also the reason why he could not completely limit Walker in training games before, but against Butler in the NCAA period, Still more than enough.

After Butler was forced to stop again, he chose to turn around and make a backward shot.

Tang Tian straightened his long arms and pressed forward, causing interference.

"boom!"

His shooting itself was not very stable, and his shooting rate was reduced by 10%. The ball hit the front of the basket firmly.

Tang Tian turned around and got a defensive rebound.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Tang Tian successfully defended against Butler again!

This is really a surprise!

Tang Tian used to be a coach, and he did a really good job on some details. After getting the rebound, he directly raised the ball above his head.

Butler tried to steal but failed.

Calhoun breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines at this time.

The ball quotient can really make up for a lot of things. Tang Tian is deliberately far away from Walker on the offensive end, so that the opponents don’t even notice that he can’t score, and the change he brings to the team on the defensive end is a qualitative change. .

Walker's shot under the double-team in the frontcourt missed, and Oriachi used his height to grab the offensive rebound again.

"Pass Jeremy!"

Just when Auriachi was about to fight again, Tang Tian yelled at him.

As a coach, he is too good at observing the situation.

Lavoy Allen is obviously the kind of stocky insider who can't do a good job of rebound protection, but has a slender wingspan and is very deterrent when defending in the penalty area.

Oriachi is tall and can grab offensive rebounds, but it is very difficult to force him.

Walker's previous breakthrough had already restrained Marquette University's defensive attention, and Lamb was emptied on the outside at this time.

Oriachi turned his head when he heard the shout, and after seeing that Lamb was indeed open, he flicked his hand and passed the ball.

Lamb received the ball, and Marquette's supplementary defense passed. He tricked the defender with a fake shot and took a step forward mid-range shot.

"Shh!"

A crisp sound.

Lamb's shot also goes in!

Kang University's offensive continued unabated. After a wave of 6-0 offensive, the point difference has been chased to only 5 points!

Calhoun couldn't help laughing when his worries dissipated.

"Old man, why do I think he is more like a coach?" Oli said involuntarily at this time.

"An 18-year-old coach?" Calhoun asked with a smile.

Ollie shook his head. Coaching takes time and experience. There is no such thing as an absolute genius.

"Then his golf quotient is really a bit unusual." He thought for a while and said.

Calhoun nodded.

Many things in basketball can be practiced, but some hard things cannot be practiced, such as height, wingspan, and ball quotient.

A player with a high golf quotient can survive and even play well even if his physical fitness is poor.

The most typical example is Steve Nash. If it weren't for his golf quotient, it would be impossible for him to become the all-powerful "son of the wind" with his physical confrontation.

Marquette University did not call a timeout. It seems that their head coach prefers the players on the court to solve the problem by themselves.

The ball went to the front court and then passed into Butler's hands. Instead of attacking again, he gave the ball to Allen and asked him to eat Oriachi alone.

Allen looked a little excited after taking the ball.

He was originally a first-year freshman recruited by UConn in the summer, but he was not reused by Calhoun at the beginning. Coupled with the precarious situation in UConn, he chose to transfer schools.

Now that he is playing well at Marquette University, he naturally hopes to perform well in front of the fans of the University of Connecticut at this time, to prove how wrong their old man's decision not to reuse him is!

His wingspan and speed are his advantages. His fake forward breakthrough forced Oriachi to retreat, and he made a sudden mid-range shot.

This shot was a bit sudden, and Auriachi's speed was slow, and it was too late to retreat and jump forward.

"Shh!"

Allen made another mid-range jumper.

Allen seemed a little excited after scoring a goal, and after beating his chest, he roared at the audience.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Allen was just a substitute at UConn before!Now at Marquette University, he has become the starter, and he has scored 6 points before halftime!

The NCAA only has 20 minutes in the first and second halves, and except for the second half and the last 2 minutes of overtime, the scoring is non-stop. In addition, the offense of a round is 35 seconds instead of 24 seconds, and the scores are generally low. 6 points is already a pretty good performance.

Calhoun's face became a little ugly, Allen was slapping him in the face!

"Stick to him! Stick to him!" Ollie also felt a burning pain on his face, and shouted at Oriachi.

Auriachi lowered his head, obviously frustrated.

At this time Tang Tian took the initiative to run to his side.

"Lavoy likes mid-range jumpers very much. When you defend, you mainly guard against his shots." He reminded him.

What Ollie said was actually correct, but the method was too rough, and he didn't explain it at all, so Auriachi couldn't understand the meaning at all.

"His speed is faster than you, but he is much shorter than you. If you choose to attack you, you will have enough time to catch up and defend." Tang Tian added after finishing speaking.

Auriachi was a little confused by Oli's scolding at first, but he suddenly felt enlightened after hearing what Tang Tian said.

He nodded, and the confident look on his face returned.

Although Tang Tian was a first-year student, he spoke step by step, which was easy for him to accept.

UConn's offense, Walker found Oriachi's pick-and-roll, broke through to attract double-teams, and then forced a shot to cause a foul.
