The invincible kryptonite of basketball

The three-pointer was valid, and Kangda also got a chance to make a free throw.

Miller called a timeout again.

When Tang Tianxia was on the court, he was cheered like a hero by his teammates.

In this period, he scored 4 three-pointers and three free throws, and he has scored 15 points in a row!

"Excellent defense, high IQ, very stable open three-point ability, NCAA top 3D player, has a great possibility to gain a firm foothold in the NBA, and has a second-round draft prospect."

On the tablets of most scouts, there is already a large section of remarks about Tang Tian.

In the previous regular season and the championship game, although Tang Tian also had outstanding performances, the scouts of those games would not pay attention to them. Only in this kind of games, playing well in one game is better than ten games.

Tang Tian became famous in the first battle.

Back from the timeout, Walker made a technical free throw, and UConn has extended its lead to 14 points!

Continuing UConn's possession of the ball, Smith also made a catch and layup, and the point difference continued to widen to 16 points.

Looking back, Hill's breakthrough was also interfered by Oriachi, Williams was stuck by Tang Tian and couldn't jump up, and Tang Tian took advantage of the opportunity to get the defensive rebound.

Seeing that the game was about to lose suspense, the University of Arizona's defense changed again. The person defending Tang Tian became Hill, and Williams switched to Smith.

This is a very good adjustment. Hill is much faster than Williams, and he has a good arm, reaching out to interfere with Walker's return pass.

Walker went around and had no chance, and in the end he made a strong attack and was blocked by Perry.

The on-site camera showed Miller again. Although the white shirt of the young coach was already wet, it has to be said that he performed very well in the fight with Cajon.

Chapter 81 Sweet 16!

"Shabatz." Calhoun's reaction was also quick. After seeing Miller's hand adjustment, he turned and called Napier.

Hill's tough shots in the frontcourt caused Oriachi's thugs to get two free throws.

The game entered a dead ball, and Napier came on to replace Smith at this time, and Calhoun put on a lineup of two point guards.

Hill made two free throws, and the difference between the two sides was 14 points.

Hill continued to switch defenses against Tang Tian, ​​but Tang Tian stopped playing the pick-and-roll at this time, and Walker directly gave the ball to Lamb for singles.

In this lineup, Lamb swung to the third position and faced Williams directly.

This is equivalent to playing the [-]nd position of the NCAA against the [-]th position. There is no need for pick-and-rolls to switch defenses, and it is directly a small player playing a big player.

The other UConn players pulled away one after another, and Lamb made a mid-range shot with a step back after consecutive changes of direction.

Williams can't keep up with the rhythm, and Lamb has a lot of space when he shoots.

"Shh!"

Lamb is also strong enough, and after getting out of the space, he hits Williams directly.

"Oh, Connecticut's strength this year has been seriously underestimated." The commentator couldn't help saying after watching the ball.

In addition to Walker, who is already well-known, Oriachi, Tang Tian, ​​and Lamb all have outstanding performances. This team is really not just a third-tier team as the media said.

Williams missed Tang Tian's emergency stop in the frontcourt, and Oriachi got a defensive rebound.

Kangda advanced to the front court and continued to play Williams for Lamb. Williams was anxious because he couldn't keep up with the rhythm. He fought hard to save and hit Lamb's hand, and was called a foul again.

Miller couldn't help but rubbed his face vigorously on the sidelines at this time, then turned around and signaled the substitute to replace Williams.

The situation at the scene was very unfavorable to Arizona, but because Tang Tian made an offensive foul before, plus the technical foul, the foul just now was Williams' fourth personal foul, and he had to change if he didn't change.

Williams also played very well on the court, but after he left the court, the University of Arizona lost an offensive pinch point on the offensive end, and Tang Tian directly switched to defending Hill.

This time, the University of Arizona's offense was completely paralyzed.

At the beginning of the second half, the fans of the two teams confronted each other on the sidelines, and the air was full of gunpowder, but at this moment, the fans of the University of Arizona were completely silent.

"The game is over," Terry said, looking up at the timer.

There are still 5 minutes left in the game, but the difference between the two sides is close to 20 points, and the University of Arizona has already lost.

"Let's go." Jefferson got up and left early.

Terry didn't leave, he was going to comfort Williams after the game.

Williams was not substituted again. He glanced at the score, wrapped his head in a towel and sat on the bench with a blank expression.

At this time, a very interesting scene occurred on the court. Tang Tian, ​​who was substituted, took a few breaths, took out a cake from under the bench and ate it.

The game was too intense, and he was already starving.

This scene was captured by the cameraman at the scene. He didn't hide or dodge, and even smiled at the camera.

This caused many media reporters to take pictures of him. Although the NCAA has no express regulations against eating on the sidelines, Tang Tian's practice is still very rare in the tournament.

"beep!"

With Hill's last three-pointer, the final whistle sounded from the sidelines to end the game.

The moment the whistle blew, the players on the Kangda field embraced and cheered together, and the substitute players off the field also rushed onto the field.

Won, they won, big win over Arizona University, they advanced to the top 16 in the country!

"Connecticut Huskies! Connecticut Huskies!"

The cheers of the UConn fans pierced the sky.

This is the charm of NCAA, a game of life and death, the winner is king!

Okafor and Gordon also went down from the auditorium to the field at this time, and then talked about old times with Calhoun, and congratulated the University of Connecticut players by the way.

"Good boy!" Gordon came over to bump fists with Tang Tian, ​​praised him and then hugged him.

"I think you will definitely be able to enter the NBA, your performance is so perfect!" Okafor also came over at this time and said to Tang Tian with a smile.

"Yes, he is going to the NBA with me." Walker came out from the side at this time.

"Kemba, perform well. Our team has a top ten draft pick. If I have the opportunity, I will recommend you to the management." Gordon said. He is now playing for the Pistons. As a veteran, he said to the management Let's talk.

"When I win the championship and MOP, I will definitely find you." Walker said.

"Come on, I'll wait for your good news." Gordon said with a smile.

It is surprising enough for UConn to win the University of Arizona, but the next game against North Carolina is likely to encounter Duke, as well as Kansas and Kentucky. It is really difficult to win the championship, but he can feel it from the words Walker's heart.

"Don't worry, we will definitely win the championship." Tang Tian said with a smile.

He knows Walker better than Gordon, and if he doesn't win the championship this year, Walker is likely to stay in Condo for another year.

In terms of paranoia about the game and victory, Walker is really a bit like Kobe.

Gordon smiled and nodded. Originally, he thought it would be difficult for Kangda to win the championship, but after hearing what the two said, he suddenly felt that it was not that difficult.

Aren't miracles created under seemingly impossible circumstances?

"Let's go to Charlotte! Let's go to Charlotte!"

The celebrations of the UConn fans are still going on, and they can't wait to see the game between UConn and North Carolina.

Take the University of Arizona and give them a boost.

On the other side of the court, Terry was there to encourage Williams, and he could feel that Williams' originally extremely depressed mood was getting better a little bit.

The celebration of UConn was temporarily over, and the players from both sides finished the final handshake ceremony to express their friendship.

"Your performance was great. I underestimated you." Hill said from the bottom of his heart. If it wasn't for Tang Tian, ​​the University of Arizona would definitely win this game.

"When I get to the NBA, I won't lose to you again." When Williams shook hands with Tang Tian, ​​he seemed very unwilling.

Tang Tian smiled and didn't pay much attention.

After the handshake ceremony, the UConn players bowed to the fans before returning to the locker room.

When Tang Tian was about to go back to the locker room, he realized that Olsen hadn't left yet, so he greeted Walker and walked over.

"I've never watched a basketball game before. I didn't expect it to be so exciting." Olsen seemed to be still immersed in the previous game.

"The next match will be even more exciting." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Then I must watch it too. How about this? I'll give you a cake, and you can find another ticket for me?" Olsen said.

Chapter 82 I must beat him (three more) (repair)

"No problem." Tang Tian nodded. The cakes made by Olsen are indeed delicious, and he quite likes them. It's not difficult to get the tickets with Walker.

"Then it's settled." Olsen smiled and stretched out his little finger, shaking it in front of his eyes.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was a contract to pull the hook.

He also stretched out his hand, hooking his little finger together, and the two of them had reached an agreement.

"Don, press conference," Napier called out to him from the tunnel.

"Then I won't see you off." Tang Tian said back to Napier, then turned to Olson.

"It's okay, you can go to work, I am very happy today." Olsen said with a smile.

Tang Tian smiled and nodded, then trotted back to the dressing room.

After taking a shower, Tang Tian and Walker attended the press conference with Calhoun.

沃克这场比赛22投9中，得到全队最高的24分4板6助攻，唐天三分球8投5中，罚球三罚全中轰下18分5板3抢断2盖帽，两人是今晚康大赢球的最大功臣。

Because of the win, the atmosphere at the press conference was very relaxed, full of laughter.

"Tang, I noticed that you ate cake on the bench after the game. I'm curious, were you hungry?" In the relaxed atmosphere, a reporter asked about eating cake during the game.

"Yes." Tang Tian didn't expect the reporter to ask this, and nodded with a smile.

"The cake doesn't seem to be bought temporarily, but was placed under the bench before?" The reporter looked at it more carefully and couldn't help asking.

"Yes, I was going to eat after the game, but I was really hungry at that time." Tang Tian replied.

His answer immediately aroused laughter from the reporters below. It is rare to see such a sincere statement.

"The team will play against the University of North Carolina in the next game. We know that North Carolina's Harrison Barnes is a very good player and leader. Kemba, do you have the confidence to beat him and lead the team to victory?" After asking the easy topics, the reporter went on to ask serious questions.

"Well... I'd better leave it to Don to defeat him." Walker thought for a while and said.

His answer attracted a burst of surprise from the reporter, which was a bit inconsistent with Walker's usual speaking style.

"After all, he's already beaten Derek Williams in this game," Walker continued.

The reporters all nodded in unison after listening.

In the first half of this game, Williams showed off his prowess and scored 18 points in the half. However, in the second half, under Tang Tian's marking, he only made 11 of 1 shots. His performance was dismal. If there is no accident in the next game, it will be Tang Tianzhu Defense against Barnes, if he really wanted to talk about defeat, was indeed something Tang Tian had to do.

"Tang, are you confident?" The reporter turned to Tang Tian.

"Of course, I have to beat him." Tang Tian replied without hesitation. Barnes is the core of North Carolina. If UConn wants to win, he must guard Barnes.

"He can do it." Cajon said affirmatively at this time. He couldn't tell the media what happened in the midfield, but now he has absolute trust in Tang Tian.

The reporters all looked at Calhoun in surprise. The old man rarely speaks so positively in front of the media.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, I also bought the cake, but I ate it in the locker room during the intermission." But before they had time to think about it, Walker's words made them laugh again, and they finally became serious At the press conference, the atmosphere instantly became extremely relaxed.

……

At the University of North Carolina hundreds of miles away, North Carolina players watched the entire broadcast of the game in the home arena.

"Harrison, I didn't expect that we really met that guy." After the game, the players dispersed one after another. Taylor Zeller and Barnes walked out side by side, and said with a smile as they walked.

When he was playing a shooting game in New Haven, he wanted to go up to say hello to Tang Tian, ​​but Barnes stopped him. At that time, Barnes said that we will meet each other, but I didn't expect that he really hit the mark.

"The next game is not easy to play." Barnes nodded and said. After watching the game, he knew that the next game would be a fierce battle.

"Are you confident in defeating Don?" Zeller asked.

Barnes shook his head. Although he was only in the first grade, he was far more precocious than his peers because he grew up in a single-parent family. If Derek Williams fought so hard, he knew that he was not will be easy.

"But I have to beat him." He paused and continued, looking up at the five championship banners hanging above the arena as he spoke.
