The invincible kryptonite of basketball

The fans of Kangda were even more blown up.

"Connecticut Huskies! Connecticut Huskies!"

In the next second, the slogan of Kangda resounded in the entire Riverside Stadium.

The momentum of the game has completely turned to Kangda's side.

Leonard was strong in the frontcourt and Tang Tian couldn't make it, but he used his heaven-defying wingspan and big hands to grab offensive rebounds and made Tang Tian's thugs.

After making two free throws, he helped San Diego State University retain a glimmer of hope.

But looking back, Kangda played smoothly and cooperated smoothly. Tang Tian used Lamb's pick-and-roll to open a completely open position, and then shot a three-pointer after receiving Walker's pass.

"Shh!"

With a knife in his hand, he directly sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound of San Diego State University.

After Tang Tian's three-pointer scored, Leonard, whose expression remained unchanged, glanced at the scoreboard and couldn't help shaking his head.

The outcome of the game has basically been decided.

Leonard's state exploded at the last moment, and he scored several goals in a row after a mid-range pick-and-roll, but he couldn't stand the gap in strength between the two teams, and the point difference became bigger and bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With more than five minutes left in the game, Napier scored a layup against Wright and caused the latter to leave the field with five fouls. After making an additional penalty, the point difference came to 18 points, and the game was also concluded.

In the end, UConn beat San Diego State University 71 to 53 by virtue of a wave of play shortly after the opening of the second half, and successfully advanced to the top 32 of the tournament!

圣迭戈州立大学那边，伦纳德得到全队最高的18分13板，但是他21投只有7中，富兰克林得到15分5板。

On the UConn side, Lamb scored a game-high 17 points and 11 rebounds on 24 of 5 shots. When Walker was guarded by Leonard, he successfully stood up.

沃克被伦纳德全场盯防，只出手了8次，8投3中得到10分3板10助攻，唐天三分线外5投4中得到12分5板2抢断2盖帽，替补的内皮尔得到12分3助攻，马朱克贡献2分11篮板，其中包括4个进攻篮板。

It was an ups and downs game, but UConn still managed to win without any risk, and also dug out Ma Zhuke from the end of the bench.

After the game, the live ribbons were flying, and the players of UConn celebrated wildly on the court amidst the cheers of the fans.

"Art! Art!"

Majuk was picked up by them and thrown up there.

Calhoun also had a smile on his face, but he unconsciously looked at Tang Tian.

If it weren't for Tang Tian's suggestion at halftime, he would not have played Mazhuk, and the game would not have such a big change in the second half.

An idea even flashed in his mind, if Tang Tian was in Oli's position, he should do a better job than the latter.

This was not a sudden idea, but accumulated from Tang Tian's previous performance.

If Tang Tian fails to go to the NBA after graduation, he will really strongly recommend him to be Ollie's assistant coach.

"It seems that your prayers have worked." Looking at the celebrating UConn players, Solomon Hill said to Derek Williams with a smile.

"We can think about how to play the North Carolina guys in advance." Williams said with a smile.

Looking at the whole game, he felt that UConn was too weak inside, and they almost lost with one Wright. If he had been on the court, the first half of the game would have been over.

And that Tang Tian, ​​the coach kept reminding him to be careful. Facts proved that the coach overestimated the opponent. Even Leonard could score so many points in the second half, which was not enough for him.

As he said, they can really think about how to play against North Carolina. After all, Harrison Barnes is his equal opponent, and North Carolina can pose enough threats to the University of Arizona.

In the locker room after the game, the celebration of Kangda is not over yet.

At this time, Oriachi also recovered his emotions, and shouted there together.

"Children." At this moment, Calhoun suddenly broke in without a sound.

The cheers stopped abruptly.

"Rest well tonight," Calhoun said.

The team members originally thought that Cajon appeared suddenly and wanted to give a lecture, but they didn't expect that the last thing they said was a word of concern, and they burst into laughter.

Calhoun also smiled, and then motioned Majuk and Lamb to follow him to the press conference.

"Remember, you are not allowed to go to bars or nightclubs, you know the team's regulations." Before leaving, Calhoun couldn't help but say something more.

After he finished speaking and left, there was another burst of cheers in the locker room.

He smiled wryly and shook his head, these children.

Chapter 71 Derek Williams (Revised)

UConn's victory over San Diego State was just one of many NC tournaments.

On the contrary, Ma Zhuke's flying dunk skill shocked everyone, and he was posted on NC's official website, earning a good reputation.

Two days into the tournament, most of the first-round games are over, with more than 20 teams wrapping up their seasons.

A season of hard work ends in one day, and that's "March Madness."

On the second day, Cajon arranged basic training for the team as usual, without arrogance or impetuosity, and he had a lot of experience in dealing with the players' emotions at this moment.

In the evening, he also appeared with the team at the Riverside Stadium, where the University of Arizona will compete with the University of Tennessee tonight.

Although the University of Arizona is only the No. 5 seed in the West, it has a high voice in the championship prediction.

As one of the NC super giants, from 1985 to 2009, they entered the NC championship for 25 consecutive years, second only to North Carolina's 27 times, and the team won the final championship of NC in 1997.

As a giant, they also send a lot of players to the NBA, such as Steve Kerr, Mike Bibby, Andre Iguodala and so on.

Now the NBA is still in the regular season, but some alumni still came to the scene, including Richard Jefferson who played for the Spurs and Jason Terry, one of the core of the Mavericks.

In fact, it's not just alumni, because of the existence of Derek Williams, many NBA scouts also came to the scene.

The Cavaliers, Timberwolves, and Raptors, the three teams with the worst records last season, all had scouts on the scene.

Of course, it's not just these three teams, because Tobias Harris of the University of Tennessee, some teams in the middle of the first round, like the 76ers, Trail Blazers, and Bucks also have scouts on the scene.

ESPN and TNT also sent reporters to the sidelines to keep an eye on the game.

Although this is only a first-round game, it has received far more attention than the game between UConn and San Diego State University yesterday.

"Are you envious?" Looking at the scouts in suits and leather shoes, as well as the many media on the sidelines, Walker turned his head and asked Tang Tian with a smile.

Although he was the one who asked, it could be felt that he was envious in his heart.

As a rookie, who doesn't want more attention?After all, the higher the pick, the more opportunities you will have in the NBA, and you will have higher development prospects.

"I'm not envious." Tang Tian shook his head.

"Not envious?" Walker looked at Tang Tian suspiciously.

Just when Walker thought Tang Tian was going to say a bunch of high-level big words.

"These scouts and media, don't they have to show up here the day after tomorrow?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

Walker froze for a moment, and after realizing it, he also laughed.

The University of Arizona has Derek Williams and Solomon Hill, and other role players are stronger than the opposing University of Tennessee. Tonight's game should be more suspenseful than their yesterday's.

In other words, on the field the day after tomorrow, the teams that will face off will be the University of Connecticut and the University of Arizona.

At that time, Derek Williams was still there, and these media and reporters naturally had to come again.

At that time, he and Tang Tian would not be sitting in the stands, but on the court. When those people paid attention to Derek Williams, they also paid attention to them.

Therefore, envy is completely unnecessary at the moment.

The scene quickly entered the opening ceremony, and Derek Williams detonated the auditorium on the sidelines when he appeared.

As the No. [-] pick, his popularity is indeed high.

The game started quickly, and University of Arizona center Jesse Perry jumped for the team to take the lead.

After attacking the frontcourt, the ball was directly given to Derek Williams, and he and Tobias Harris faced off directly.

The strength of the University of Tennessee is limited, and Harris has to shoulder the burden of defense and offense.

Harris is 2 meters tall, 06 centimeters taller than Williams, but he weighs a full 3 kilograms lighter than Williams.

When the two confronted each other, he was obviously at a disadvantage.

Harris failed to defend against the strong inside, and Williams scored the first score for the University of Arizona.

Not to be outdone, Harris turned around and responded with a mid-range jumper.

In the University of Arizona's offense, Williams chose to hold the ball and attack Harris. The two had a confrontation, and Williams shot and caused Harris to foul.

After two consecutive rounds, it can be clearly felt that Williams is better than Harris in confrontation.

This kind of performance was also seen by scouts and the media, who whispered and nodded from time to time, obviously very satisfied with Williams' performance.

Williams made two free throws and scored 4 points in the opening game.

Looking back, Harris' layup after passing Williams was interfered by Perry, and Perry's defense was not bad.

In the University of Arizona's fast break, Williams misplaced and faced the forward of the University of Tennessee. After a change of direction, he directly squeezed the opponent away and scored with a one-handed dunk.

A whistle sounded from the University of Arizona.

This athletic ability is really a talent visible to the naked eye.

Harris turned around and hit Williams with his back, turned around and jumped in and scored. This was a match with Williams.

Harris' score allowed the University of Tennessee to bite the score in the opening game. Looking back, they adjusted their strategy on the defensive end and used the center to defend against Williams.

Williams has a confrontational advantage over Harris, and this adjustment came in a timely manner.

But Williams chose to make a frontal breakthrough at this time, changing directions continuously past the opponent, scoring the ball when Harris was defending, and causing Harris to hit the ball.

He roared after the goal and the whole Riverside stadium exploded.

This strength really overwhelms other rookies.

After the extra penalty was also scored, he scored 9 points in a row after the opening, and his performance was quite hot.

"I like this kid, he can really be the champion." In the stands, Richard Jefferson couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, the school has never produced such an outstanding big man, and he will lead the school to regain its glory." Terry also nodded.

When they were in school, they failed to help the team win the championship. At this time, they can only pin this spirit on Williams.

The game on the field is still going on, but the University of Arizona has completely occupied the initiative on the field under the leadership of Williams.

Williams is a bug on the court. Facing a small forward player like Harris, he directly takes advantage of the confrontation. When he meets a big player, he directly breaks through you for a layup.

In other words, he is like LeBron James in NC.

Those who are faster than him are not as strong as him, and those who are stronger than him are not as fast as him. He is out of place when he hits anyone.

At this time, Calhoun was also watching from the stands and frowned. As far as Williams's performance was concerned, no one in UConn could guard against him, including Tang Tian.

Thank you Xingfeng Xiaoye for your reward

Chapter 72 First Adjustment (Revised)

Tang Tian was also thinking.

When he was a coach in the NBA in his previous life, he had many ways to defend against dubious players like Williams, but this is in NC, just like defending James in the NBA, it is very difficult. .

Especially now he is not a coach, but a player.

Williams can overwhelm Barnes, the No. 1 pick in the list of power forwards. He has absolute strength, and he will be the most difficult opponent he has encountered since time travel.

The game has been played to the last few minutes, and the University of Arizona has a 20-point lead and is sure to win, and has already started to exercise on the bench.

"Richard, I'm serious, you tell your agent to find a way to come to Dallas to play." There was no suspense in the game, and Terry chatted with Jefferson at this time.

The NBA is a business league, but under this league, there are actually many other things. For example, they both came out of the University of Arizona. Although they are not in the same class, their alumni friendship still makes their relationship closer than teammates.

"No no, this year I can win the championship in San Antonio, I will not go to Dallas." Jefferson said with a smile.

"Don't blame me for killing you in the playoffs." Terry said with a laugh.

"Then don't blame me." Jefferson also laughed loudly.
