The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Page 48



In other words, the initiative in this game is already with Williams and the University of Arizona.

This feeling of fate being controlled by others made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Old man?" Calhoun didn't speak for a long time, and Ollie called him.

"Well, the tactical thinking in the second half is the same as the first half. Williams used up a lot of energy in the first half. If he keeps playing like this, his shooting percentage will definitely drop. If you stay focused, we still have a greater chance of winning." Card After Hong finished speaking, he pulled Ollie and left the locker room first.

The players are taking the time to rest at this time.

Walker took out the cake prepared in advance and ate it. The intensity of this game was far higher than that of the previous game. He was double-teamed again and again, which consumed a lot of energy.

"Tang, don't you want to eat?" Seeing Tang Tian sitting there without moving, Walker asked.

"I'll go out for a while." Tang Tian said as he stood up and left the locker room.

Walker bit a piece of cake in his mouth, his face full of doubts.

After Tang Tian left the locker room, he went straight to the coach's office.

He could basically guess what Cajon thought, and there was basically nothing wrong with Cajon's final decision.

But he has a better suggestion. It was not easy to speak in person in the locker room before, so he still wants to talk about it in private.

Now that the game has been played, winning or losing is very important to him and this team. It is no longer the time to consider such trivial matters as whether it is appropriate to do so or not to lose face.

Tang Tian knocked on the door and went in, both Calhoun and Oli looked at him suspiciously.

"Coach, I have a tactical suggestion."

When he heard what Tang Tian said, Oli frowned visibly. He and Calhoun were discussing tactics for the second half, and there wasn't much time in the first place.

Although Tang Tian has shown talent in this area before, players and coaches are completely two groups. Tang Tian's current actions are very irrational and inappropriate. If he is now Calhoun, he will definitely let Tang Tian go out directly .

"Kevin, go and close the door." However, Calhoun really relied heavily on Tang Tian, ​​and after hearing what he said, he was not only not angry, but instead motioned him to sit down and continue talking.

Ollie froze for a moment, but Calhoun spoke, so he had to go and close the door.

"What suggestion, tell me." After Ollie closed the door, Cahon looked at Tang Tian and asked.

"I'm not saying that the coaching staff's decision was wrong, but winning or losing depends on the opponent's state, which is very passive." Tang Tian said.

"Of course we also know, but do you have a better way?" Oli said a little unhappy, what Tang Tian said was completely nonsense.

"Have."

"..."

Calhoun smiled and motioned Tang Tian to continue.

"Williams' physical fitness is very strong, and after playing the state, the offensive end is somewhat incomprehensible, but he also has weaknesses."

"What weakness?" Calhoun asked curiously.

"Defense, he defends well in the penalty area, but outside the three-second zone, his defense is terrible. This has something to do with his size."

Calhoun nodded after listening to what Tang Tian said.

This is true. Due to his limited height, Williams will inevitably gain weight in order to increase confrontation, but after gaining weight, his speed is bound to slow down. This cannot be seen on the offensive end, but on the defensive end. It is clear.

Take the University of Arizona game against the University of Tennessee as an example. Although Williams scored 30 points, Harris, who was facing him, also scored a full 25 points. Harris is a shooting-oriented striker. Players, that speaks volumes.

"So what's your suggestion?"

"In the second half, I will play the starting four." Tang Tian said.

Chapter 78 Tactical Suppression

"I play the [-]th position, I will try to force him to the outside of the penalty area, of course, if he forces to the basket, Oriachi needs to help me defend, Williams' passing is not very good, do this It won't hurt the defense system." Tang Tian continued.

Calhoun nodded thoughtfully.

Tang Tian's defense outside the penalty area is absolutely powerful, and this has been proven countless times. The reason why he didn't use Tang Tian as the starting No. The starting effect of Hollande was also good at the beginning, so he didn't mention the adjustment of the starting lineup in the locker room.

But what Tang Tian said now reminded him that Williams averaged less than one assist per game throughout the season, which is indeed a point that can be used.

"Of course the defense is secondary. The main thing is the offense. I can play pick and roll with Kemba. If they switch, Kemba can eat him alone. If they don't switch, with the speed of Williams, I receive the ball on the outside. It's completely in time to shoot a three-pointer." Tang Tian said the core idea in one breath.

This, in fact, was one of UConn's main tactics before, but because of Calhoun's starting adjustment, the person defending Tang Tian became Hill, so he lost his power. Tang Tian brought him up again at this time. .

And what he said is completely reasonable. Williams is actually a bit like the later James Harden. In order to increase the weight of the fight, the low defense is fine, but the lateral movement drops too much, and it is easy to be overwhelmed by others. Eye defense and the like.

Calhoun nodded after listening. If it was before the game, he probably would not agree. After all, changing the starting lineup was a decision he and Ollie discussed all night. But now, the team is in jeopardy, and Tang Tian has a thorough analysis, so he can convince him immediately. up.

"Okay, let's go to the locker room." He said and stood up.

Tactical adjustment, while there is still some time, he must rearrange.

After a 15-minute break, starting players from both sides appeared one after another, and the game in the second half was about to start.

At this moment, the commentator on the sidelines noticed Kangda's starting adjustment.

"A big change, Connecticut changed back to their most commonly used starting lineup, what do you think?" The commentator turned to look at his partner.

"It's a little risky. In fact, Holland's starting performance in the first half was very effective, but Williams' state was a little bit blown out, so the current adjustment is a bit like a forced choice, and Don and Williams The difference in body size is a bit big, and it is easy to be blown up if you are in a low position." The guest commentator analyzed.

"Yes, I also think it would be better to continue to use Hollander. It is difficult for Williams to maintain that high efficiency throughout the game." The commentator echoed.

While the two commentators were speaking, the second half of the match between the two sides had already started.

Arizona came back to start the second half.

After seeing UConn's starting adjustment, Williams is the happiest one. His favorite way of playing is to crush with his body.

Moreover, Tang Tian's previous defensive ability has been recognized by many people. If he can beat Tang Tian in front of all the scouts, it will definitely be a very good improvement for his draft pick.

You must know that today the Cavaliers, Timberwolves and Raptors, the three teams with a high probability of being the top three picks, have scouts on the scene.

Williams asked for the ball in the low post, Tang Tian directly chose not to give him a chance to catch the ball.

Johnson signaled Williams to come out and catch the ball from the perimeter.

The best way to break through is to go under the hoop, but Oriachi has an advantage under the hoop, so even if the ball is hoisted in, it is not easy to hit.

Williams shook off Tang Tian to a high position, his face a little unhappy.

The defense he hates the most is this kind of forward movement, which makes him unable to catch the ball comfortably.

When he reached the high position to hold the ball, he signaled his teammates to pull away, and then leaned his back against Tang Tian and started digging in.

Tang Tian is fast, he is not easy to hit head-on with the ball, but he has an absolute advantage in strength when he hits back.

"Bang! Bang!"

Tang Tian's confrontation was not bad, but because of the difference in weight, Williams forcibly took a few steps in.

The University of Arizona burst into cheers at the scene. This tank style of play is very entertaining.

"boom!"

It was another forceful confrontation, and Tang Tian fell to the ground in response.

But the referee didn't call an offensive foul.

Williams almost lost his balance, but he reacted fairly quickly. After using his outstanding talent to control his body, he turned around to the bottom of the basket and saw Auriacchi take the first shot.

This ball is not easy.

The ball hit the backboard over Oriachi's blocking hand, bounced into the basket after a high rebound.

After a half-time break, his touch is still hot!

The University of Arizona overtook the score!

There were whistles at the scene.

Kangda's substitution adjustment is a bit funny, Tang Tian and Williams are not players in the same position at all.

"It seems that UConn's adjustment effect is not good. Williams brought the state of the first half to the second half." The commentator also said with a smile.

"Yes, if UConn doesn't replace Hollander early, and when Williams is in good shape, then he will be replaced at that time, and it will be as useless as the second half of the first half." The guest commentator went on. Said.

The scene shot was shown on the bench of Concordia University, and Calhoun was sitting there, and he didn't mean to adjust.

It seems that the old man is also a little helpless.

"This is talent, the strongest defensive player, and any tactics are empty!" Jefferson in the audience laughed and said.

"We underestimated Coach Miller a bit. In the first half, he found out Williams' state through a small lineup. He was really courageous." Terry also changed his tone in the first half at this time.

Although the second half has just started, Williams' state has already explained everything, and the University of Arizona will continue the momentum of the first half.

You must know that they recovered the 12-point difference in the first half, but they came back to a draw in the second half. The University of Arizona continues this momentum, which in turn will lead the University of Connecticut by ten or even twenty points!

"Come on! Connecticut!"

The UConn fans at the scene also felt this crisis and shouted in unison to cheer for UConn.

Tang Tian mentioned the high position for Walker's pick and roll.

After breaking the ball, the University of Arizona chose to switch defenses. They were afraid of Tang Tian's three-pointer and did not dare to double-team Walker.

Walker held the ball and directly turned inward.

Williams couldn't keep up with the rhythm and was almost passed by Walker.

Walker made a layup and scored the ball before Perry could make up the defense.

Walker thumped his chest hard after scoring the goal. His performance in the first half was not good. After playing the familiar pick-and-roll with Tang Tian in the second half, his feeling returned.

Continental fans burst into cheers.

Williams' score made UConn look like the building was about to collapse, and Walker's goal forcibly helped him back again!

ps: There will be another chapter later, and these two chapters will be updated continuously.

Chapter 79 Tactical Suppression

"Defense! Defense!"

Continental fans cheered constantly.

"Come on! Arizona!"

The University of Arizona fans across the street were also shouting in unison.

Whether it is the players on the field or the audience off the field, they are all facing each other.

Johnson took the ball to the frontcourt, and after Williams leaned against Tang Tian in a high position to pass the ball, he continued to dig in.

Tang Tian worked hard, and the two confronted each other very intensely.

Reaching the low position, Williams turned around vigorously, and Tang Tian was knocked to the ground.

The sideline referee still did not blow his whistle.

There was boos immediately.

It’s fine that the referee didn’t blow the whistle in the previous round, but Williams didn’t blow it this time when he obviously exerted his strength. This is clearly the “NCAA star whistle”!

After Williams turned around, he went to the basket and shot again. This time, Oriachi helped defend early and blocked the shot.

"Snapped!"

A slap directly blocked Williams' shot!

The boos at the scene instantly turned into cheers.

Moreover, Tang Tian had stood up again at this time, seeing the covered ball, he quickly grabbed it with his hands, raised it above his head to control it.

The University of Arizona's offense came to nothing.

Walker advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Tang Tian still played pick-and-roll with him. Johnson wanted to grab the ball and not give it to the pick-and-roll, but Walker's speed was so fast that he accelerated and squeezed past the pick-and-roll before it was fully in place.

Williams didn't get a pull. Walker went inside and saw Perry coming to help defend. A through ball was thrown to the basket by Oriachi. Oriachi caught the ball and dunked with both hands!

After the dunk, Oriachi let out a roar. His defense and attack were very domineering, and he showed everything that he had no chance to show in the last game!
