Ginger is still old and hot. Williams is indeed talented in this rookie class, but it is no surprise in Calhoun's 40-year coaching career.
Walker scored a goal with Hill alone in the frontcourt, and Continental made a fantastic start to 0.
Tang Tian also wanted to give Cajon a compliment at this time. Cajon spent most of the season keeping a low profile and handed over the coaching rights to Ollie.
Williams used his physical fitness to cause a defensive foul by Oriachi in the fourth storm, and it was quite difficult to score.
This has almost become a microcosm of the first 10 minutes of the game between the two teams. Williams could not show his strength against the Twin Towers.
During the UConn halftime, Calhoun lay leisurely on his seat with a relaxed expression on his face.
On the other side of the University of Arizona's half, coach Sean Miller's white shirt was completely soaked, and the psychological pressure he is now under can be imagined.
"This game...Williams still has a long way to go." Jefferson couldn't help shaking his head as he watched. He and Terry came here in high spirits, but what they didn't expect to see was that their alma mater was hanged by their opponents. Hit the game.
"Coach Miller is too young, compared to the opposite Coach Cajon is too experienced." Terry shook his head and said with emotion.
"Old fox." Jefferson said, Terry was more reserved, but he was more direct.
Terry was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing. The two people said different things, but they meant the same thing. Sean Miller was blown away by the old Cajon on the opposite side.
UConn’s fast break, Tang Tian received Walker’s open three-pointer, and UConn took a 24-point lead 9-15.
Miller reached out and called a timeout.
The media reporters on the sidelines looked a little strange at this time. They did foresee that this would be a one-sided game before the game. After all, the University of Arizona has the No. [-] pick Williams.
But now, it is indeed one-sided, but it is exactly the opposite of what they imagined.
Kangda really surprised all of them.
ps: 80 chapters have been saved, continue to move towards the goal of the first 100 chapters on the shelves, repeat, we will be on the shelves on December 12st, the spoiler can be spoiled in advance, the draft will end in the public chapter.
Chapter 76 Williams' Strength (Revised)
After the timeout, the University of Arizona made adjustments. They removed Perry and Johnson on the outside, but replaced them with two swingmen.
This is for Williams and Hill to partner inside and directly play a small lineup.
This adjustment is very risky, but only a young coach like Miller dares to do it at this time.
UConn also made substitutions and adjustments. Mazhuk replaced Oriachi, Smith replaced Tang Tian, and Napier replaced Walker.
There are 7 people in rotation on one side and 8 people in rotation on the other side. This is the normal rotation of NC games.
In the University of Arizona's offense, Hill opened up the space and let Williams go inside to eat Majuk alone.
Mazhuk's single defense ability is average. After Holland was pulled away from the basket, he couldn't keep up with Williams' rhythm.
Williams made a tough layup after changing direction.
Miller over there breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to wipe the sweat off his face.
This goal finally allowed the University of Arizona to temporarily stabilize the situation.
After Walker left the field, Lamb naturally became the main attack point of UConn. Napier commanded tactical moves from the outside. After Lamb came out, he made a precise pass, and the ball arrived.
Lamb's catch and shot.
"boom!"
The ball went wide and missed.
Mazhuk soared into the air under the basket, this is to force the offensive rebound.
In the previous game against San Diego State University, he grabbed 4 offensive rebounds abruptly over Wright's head.
But just as he soared into the sky, another figure also rose from the ground.
Williams!
Before Mazhuk, Williams took the ball into his arms.
This ball fully demonstrated his physical advantages, which attracted a burst of exclamation from the scene.
After Williams got the defensive rebound, he dribbled the ball behind Majuk, and the University of Arizona played a fast break directly.
To say that this small lineup moves really fast, Williams dribbled the ball halfway through, and the fast-break players on the two lines have advanced to the three-point line in the UConn backcourt.
Three-for-two in the frontcourt, Williams passed the ball to Hill, Hill returned to Williams, Williams scored the ball with Smith, and caused the latter's thug to foul.
The fans of the University of Arizona suddenly burst into cheers. After returning from the timeout, they played two consecutive waves of offense. The team meant to start.
Williams made an additional penalty, and the University of Arizona came back from a timeout with a 5-0 offensive, closing the point difference to 10 points.
UConn's offense, Lamb broke through the basket with the ball and caused Williams' thugs.
With the University of Arizona playing this small lineup, the defensive ability in the penalty area is bound to decline.
Lamb made one of two free throws, and UConn continued to maintain an 11-point lead.
In the positional battle at the University of Arizona, this time Holland ignored Hill and directly shrunk to the basket. Williams had no chance, the ball went to Hill, and the latter failed to make a three-pointer.
Majuk jumped high to collect this defensive rebound.
It was Williams again, he jumped later than Mazhuk, but jumped higher, grabbed the offensive rebound directly, bounced fast after landing, and scored the second attack.
Mazhuk's talent was completely suppressed by Williams.
During this period, Williams scored 7 points in a row. After being suppressed for nearly 10 minutes, he finally fired.
UConn's offense, Lamb was double-teamed, the ball was distributed to Napier, and Napier continued to attack the basket.
But this time Hill's help defense went to the basket and successfully counterfeited Napier's shot.
The University of Arizona turned around and played a fast break, and Williams had rushed out of the three-point line for the first time.
After Fogg took the ball in the backcourt and saw it, he threw it straight across the court. Williams took the ball and threw off the defender, and there was no defense in the frontcourt.
Holding his breath, he took one step inside the free throw line, and instead of dunking directly, he sent the ball down his crotch, and a crotch-changing dunk came directly!
After the dunk, Williams roared towards the sidelines, pouted quite domineeringly.
This time, the fans of the University of Arizona were completely blown up.
"Oh! My God!" Terry was also shocked by Williams' dunk at this time.
This is NC. Williams not only finished but also looked very relaxed, and his physical fitness was so good that it exploded.
"Haha, I have my style." Jefferson also laughed there. He was also a dunker in the Nets when he was young.
During this period, the University of Arizona began to counterattack, and Williams scored all kinds of points.
The scouts on the sidelines also nodded frequently, because of the physical fitness of the ball just now, Williams is definitely worthy of his status as the number one pick.
Calhoun reached out and called a timeout. After this wave, the University of Arizona has chased the point difference to 7 points.
The pace of NC games is slow, the score is low, and the reversal is really a matter of minutes.
At this moment, Tang Tian couldn't help but look at Miller who was drenched in the next half.
The small lineup of the University of Arizona has achieved miraculous results. This young coach really has the style of a tactical genius like Tyronn Lue!
Back from the timeout, Cajon replaced Oriachi again.
UConn's offense, Lamb missed a three-pointer from the outside, but Oriachi grabbed the offensive rebound before Williams.
The reason why basketball is called a big man's sport is because height has an absolute advantage in this sport, and no matter how much you can jump, you need time to take off.
After Oriachi grabbed the offensive rebound, he reorganized Napier on the outside.
Napier stepped past the opponent's emergency stop and hit.
The point difference returned to 9 points.
The University of Arizona's frontcourt offense, Williams was assigned to the outside Hill after containing the defense at the basket, and Hill still failed to make a three-pointer from the outside.
Oriachi stuck in his position and continued to collect defensive rebounds.
Oli stretched out his hand and clenched his fist. The importance of Oriachi to UConn was evident in these two games. He would get stuck in the position and have height. Williams completely lost the opportunity to grab offensive rebounds as before.
The situation on the court reached a stalemate.
UConn's offense, Napier missed a three-pointer from outside, this time Williams pushed him out of the penalty area with his back against Oriachi, and Hill jumped up to protect the defensive rebound.
As soon as Hill got the rebound, Arizona turned around and played a fast break.
Williams turned around and shook off Oriachi, 4 on 3 in the frontcourt, and Fogg gave the ball to Hill in the bottom corner.
Hill missed two consecutive three-pointers, and he was a bit afraid to shoot at the moment, but he quickly spotted Williams who was late in the middle, and directly threw the ball over the basket.
The two partners had a tacit understanding, and Williams jumped into the air, raised his right hand high to catch the ball flying in the air, and then slammed it toward the basket.
Chapter 77 The Godfather is online
"Oh!"
In the stunned eyes of the fans at the scene, Williams smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.
The scene was instantly fried.
What a heaven-defying physical fitness is required to complete this kind of one-handed empty catch!
This is rare in the NBA, not to mention the NCAA!
Williams' physical fitness is definitely the No.1 rookie this year!
The scouts on the scene also nodded frequently. Talent in the NBA draft is the most important part. Williams' explosive talent is enough for him to become the top three or even the top two players in this rookie class. It depends on how the Cavaliers, Timberwolves and Raptors choose.
Williams' alley-oop dunk boosted the morale of the University of Arizona. Back on the defensive end, Hill directly steals Lamb abruptly. After the University of Arizona scored another 2 points in the fast break, the point difference has come to 5 points!
Calhoun reached out and called a timeout.
When Hill left the court, he motioned for the audience to cheer, and the cheers from the University of Arizona fans were deafening, which was a harbinger of a reversal.
Back from the timeout, Cajon replaced all the starters in advance.
After returning, Oriachi and Holland grabbed offensive rebounds one after another, and UConn played a 4-0 offensive to widen the point difference again.
The small lineup of the University of Arizona has obvious defensive and counterattack effects, but because of its height disadvantage, it can't protect the rebounds and is more passive on the contrary.
Miller saw that the momentum was wrong and switched back to the regular lineup.
The head coaches of the two sides have begun to fight.
However, unlike at the beginning, Williams at the University of Arizona is in a completely different state. Seeing that Olande gave him a step, he directly shot from the middle distance.
"Shh!"
There is a shot.
Here Walker's layup missed, and it was still Williams in the frontcourt, and another catch and hit was made.
His shooting is unstable, but it's not impossible. After the small lineup scored consecutively, his whole state has completely heated up.
Continuous shooting forced Hollander to step forward. As soon as Hollander stepped forward, Williams directly changed to a breakthrough, passing Hollander with speed and continuing to score.
Calhoun's timeout worked, but it couldn't stop Williams from continuing to show off.
At the end of the half, under the leadership of Williams, the University of Arizona fell behind by 12 points and abruptly chased the score to 38.
After a poor performance in the first 10 minutes, Williams' performance exploded in the last 10 minutes, scoring 18 points and 6 rebounds in the half.
"Chris, he deserves the No. [-] pick." Timberwolves scout Wally Szczerbiak turned to Cavaliers scout Chris Mihm.
"No, we need Owen more."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled after they finished speaking. It was true and false, and no one could guess what the other was really thinking.
The two sides entered a 15-minute intermission.
In the locker room of UConn, Calhoun finished analyzing the first half of the game, but suddenly there was nothing to say.
In fact, his tactics completely worked, but Williams made it lose its effect after he got up.
It's okay for Williams to come back in the second half. If he continues to be so efficient in the first half, then UConn will really be in trouble.
