The invincible kryptonite of basketball

After making two free throws, Kangda continued to maintain a 5-point gap.

"Dengdeng!"

"Defense!"

"Dengdeng!"

"Defense!"

During this period, Concordia University and Marquette University were evenly divided, and the fans on the scene were also very excited. Driven by the DJ, they cheered for the home team.

Marquette University advanced to the frontcourt. Under Butler's instruction, the guard gave the ball to Allen at the free throw line.

Allen got a little excited.

He didn't expect that he could also become the team's main point of attack. Sure enough, his choice back then was really wise!

At this moment, Oriachi was sticking very tightly, and his continuous tentative steps failed to force him back.

This guy reacts quite quickly, but don't think that he only likes mid-range shots and only mid-range shots!

He's going to blow up Oriachi today, to prove how wrong Mr. Calhoun is!

Chapter 7 qualitative change!

Squeeze through at a faster pace.

Allen's wingspan is excellent, coupled with his fast speed, it is difficult to guard against his attack after Oriachi sticks too close.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Allen is holding back his strength to hit the old man in the face today!

Ollie was obviously anxious at this time, and he was about to swear again.

But Cajon looked at the field with piercing eyes.

Oriachi did not give up after being passed, but turned around and continued to chase.

Allen made a shot after throwing off Oriachi.

The annoyed voice of the fans has already sounded in his mind.

That's the sound, the sound of regret!

"Snapped!"

"boom!"

But at this moment, there was a clear and crisp slapping sound above his head.

Oriachi chased to the basket, raised his hand and directly blocked his shot on the backboard.

A pegboard hat!

The cheers on the scene exploded in an instant!

Allen made a shot in front of him, but when he turned around, he immediately returned a block!

And it's still a big hat for nail boards!

Kangda's main force is still better than the substitute!

After Oriachi blocked Allen's layup, he leaned on Allen to get the rebound, and UConn once again defended against Marquette's offense.

"Huh? Why did Auriachi suddenly become enlightened?" Oli looked very puzzled at this time.

It's not just a matter of a day or two for him to scold Auriaqi, this time he didn't expect to be enlightened by scolding, is this a flash of inspiration?

At this time, Kahong looked at Tang Tian.

As an old coach, his observations are much more detailed than Ollie's. He saw Tang Tian pulling Auriach and said something earlier. Although he didn't know what it was, it was obvious that those words made Auriach happen. changed.

This Tang Tian is really getting more and more interesting.

The team's continuous defensive success not only improved the mood of the fans on the sidelines, but also the state of the players on the field.

In UConn's frontcourt offense, Lamb used Oriachi's pick-and-roll to attack Allen, scored the ball against Allen's defense, and caused the latter's thug to foul.

After he scored a goal, he also screamed at the audience on the sidelines.

He has been depressed for too long since he entered the NCAA, and this 2+1 seems to have sublimated him!

This is also the characteristic of first-year students. It takes some time to redeem their talents. Many talented high school students disappear in the end because they lack such a time.

The live audience responded with even louder cheers.

After all, Allen was just a substitute for UConn. After the roar of the goal, he was blocked and made 2+1 again, which was a shame.

In fact, the reason why Calhoun didn't use Allen to start is very simple. Allen is a bit short, and he likes mid-range jumpers, but he is not particularly stable. In addition, he likes to use his wingspan to block opponents on the defensive end. Experience Also close.

So Calhoun's original plan was to let Allen play as a substitute for a year, to hone these shortcomings, and then mention the main force.

But I didn't expect Allen to behave in a hurry and transfer directly to another school.

This performance on the court now also proves that he really needs more experience.

Lamba made a free throw, and Kangda has chased the point difference to only 2 points!

In Marquette University's offense, after Allen broke through the frontcourt, he saw Oriachi catching up again and did not dare to make a shot, so he returned the ball to Butler on the outside.

Butler was also forced into a dead ball when he held the ball suddenly, and finally dumped the blame on his teammates. The teammate reluctantly made a three-pointer and went straight. Marquette University was hit with a 35-second violation!

Seeing this, Calhoun turned around and walked back to the bench to sit down.

For the first time since the start of the season, he finally felt reassured about the team.

Seeing that Cajon went back to sit, Ollie hesitated and continued to direct from the sidelines.

The situation on the field began to completely fall to Kangda's side.

Tang Tian blocked the opponent from the outside, and Auriaqi was a pillar of the sky inside. UConn's defense has a sense of hierarchy, and the entire penalty area is solid.

Walker is still unstoppable, and Lamb's sudden enlightenment makes Kangda even more powerful, and Kangda's offensive end is getting smoother and smoother.

After Tang Tian came on stage, Kangda underwent a qualitative change!

Before the end of the first half, they played a wave of 14-2 attacks and successfully overtook the score 40-39.

After returning from a 15-minute half-time break, Marquette University adjusted its offensive strategy. They began to concentrate their offense more on the outside to avoid UConn's inside defense.

But their core Butler and Allen are not good at outside shooting. This approach is tantamount to attacking the enemy's strengths with their own weaknesses.

And more outside shots also produced more long rebounds. Kangda put Walker and Napier's double point guard lineup and began to frequently play defensive counterattacks.

After the University of Connecticut's defense was solid, Calhoun also began to suppress opponents tactically.

In the end, UConn achieved an 11-point reversal and beat Marquette University 73 to 61 at home, winning this crucial battle!

马奎特大学的双核巴特勒和阿伦双双发挥失常，前者20投5中只得到了14分7板，后者更是12投3中只有6分3板入账，还挨了奥瑞阿奇2记大帽。

反观康大这边，沃克神勇无比，23投11中轰下了全场最高的26分6板6助攻，杰拉米·兰姆状态复苏，15投7中得到16分5板，奥瑞阿奇也有10分11板3盖帽的两双数据。

Tang Tian played 20 minutes in his NCAA debut, contributing 2 steals, 3 rebounds and 1 block.

The statistics are very inconspicuous, but UConn fans who have watched the game know that if it weren't for his surprise attack, UConn would inevitably be bloodbathed by the opponent tonight.

Statistics cannot explain Tang Tian's contribution in this game.

Not only the fans know this, but also the head coach Cajon.

In the press conference after the game, the head coach will usually bring two outstanding players to the scene.

In addition to Walker, Calhoun brought neither Lamb nor Oriachi, but Tang Tian!

After the first game, Tang Tian was so taken seriously, and Tang Tian set a record in Kangda.

"Don't be nervous. If the reporter asks something, you can answer it truthfully." On the way to the press conference, Kahong pulled Tang Tian and told him that he was afraid that Tang Tian would be too nervous to speak when he arrived at the scene.

Tang Tian nodded. Apart from not being very talkative, Cajon is actually a very good coach.

The press conference site has already been prepared.

There were crowds of reporters in the audience, all kinds of long-barreled cannons, and it was dark.

Calhoun led Walker and Tang Tian through the crowd, walked straight to the stage and sat down.

"Who is he? We've never seen him before." The first reporter who was asked to ask a question directly asked everyone's most concerned question.

Although some fans said his name was Tang Tian during the game, that was not confirmed.

Moreover, the team's players with scholarships are usually announced on the school website, and there is no such person as Tang Tian.

Chapter 8 He became a heartthrob

"Let him introduce himself." Calhoun said, moving the microphone in front of Tang Tian.

This was Tang Tian's first public appearance, and it was also an opportunity for him.

"My name is Tang Tian. You can call me Tang, or Tian, ​​but don't call me Tian Tang. That means heaven in Chinese. You know that's not a very good word."

As soon as Tang Tian opened his mouth, the reporters below burst into laughter.

Calhoun smiled too.

He was originally worried that Tang Tian would be too nervous to speak, but he didn't expect this self-introduction to be so humorous. It seemed that his worries were completely unnecessary.

"During the game, someone said you were the ball boy of the team. Is that true?" the reporter asked.

This question is a bit sensitive, and the other reporters all looked at him in unison.

"I used to be, but Coach Cajon recruited me into the team two months ago. I am now an official member of the school team." Tang Tian replied calmly. He had faced too many such scenarios in his previous life. It looks quite comfortable.

"But we didn't see you on the school's website." The reporter reminded.

Only players with scholarships are posted on the school's website. This is a matter of convention, and the reporter obviously had something in his words.

Calhoun was about to take the microphone to block the reporter's question.

"I'm the team's secret weapon. If I'm on top, maybe we won't be able to win tonight's game." Tang Tian replied with a smile.

The reporters in the audience who said this burst into laughter again.

This answer is full of humor.

Calhoun couldn't help turning his head to look at Tang Tian more. Why did he have a feeling that this 18-year-old boy was as calm as him at the press conference?

"Just kidding, because I just joined the team, it's normal for the website not to be updated in time." Tang Tian continued.

These words were neither arrogant nor humble, and the reporter who said them was speechless.

"Coach, what is the key to the team's victory tonight?" After Tang Tian asked the question, the second reporter who was asked to ask the question turned to Calhoun.

"Defensively, the opponent scored 39 points in the first half, but only scored 22 points in the second half. Tang brought us energy on the defensive end, and we also played a team defense." Calhoun had long expected that the reporter would ask This, the answer is very smooth.

After he finished speaking, the reporters pointed their guns and short cannons at Tang Tian and shot wildly.

Calhoun singled out Tang Tian's name, indicating that he was quite satisfied with his performance!

The reporter asked several questions one after another.

After asking Calhoun, they turned their attention to Walker again.

"26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, what made you play so well tonight?"

"I know the team needs me to score, I need me to perform on the offensive end, and I always do it, I always want to lead the team to win, whether it's tonight, or tomorrow night, or whichever day. In the evening, I am the same." Walker answered very seriously, which is also his attitude towards the game.

"Your performance in the previous few games was indeed equally good, but the team won tonight." The reporter took the conversation.

"Yeah, like the coach said, we did a good job defensively tonight, Don brought us energy on the defensive end, he inspired us, yeah, he was the key to the team's win tonight. ’” Walker said with a smile.

Walker also mentioned Tang Tian!

And it is said that he is the key to the team's victory!

There was another flash of spotlights below.
