The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"Do you mind? Because there are not many people watching the game."

"No, no, I don't mind, I envy them, because I can't go to the game tonight." Carter said with a smile.

"North Carolina and Connecticut, who do you think will win?" The reporter then asked.

"North Carolina, of course, North Carolina Night!" Carter replied without hesitation, so as to make a victory gesture towards the camera.

"It's just a pity that I can't go to the scene to cheer for the boys in North Carolina." He then said with a little regret.

Carter couldn't go to the game because he wanted to watch the game, but the appearance of another North Carolina alumnus caused Bank of America Stadium to boil.

Michael Jordan, the basketball god of the NBA and the small owner of the Bobcats, gave up watching the key game of the Bobcats, but ran to the scene.

This approach is completely expected. The North Carolina game is in Charlotte. As the most famous North Carolina alumnus, it is not appropriate for him not to come.

The appearance of Jordan also made all the fans on the scene into a boil.

Jordan waved to the audience, and his appearance greatly encouraged the confidence of the North Carolina players.

"The enemy has a Gundam." Tang Tian couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw this.

Of the more than 5 spectators tonight, more than 3 are from North Carolina, and UConn is less than 2. The number of fans is just below the bottom. With the addition of Jordan's buff, the game environment is a bit harsh.

"What?" Walker heard Tang Tian muttering, leaned over and asked.

"I said Jordan is so handsome." Walker must not understand the language of the future, he said casually.

"Not as handsome as you." Walker said.

"...I mean he has a big aura." Tang Tian's face was black.

"Yeah." Walker nodded in agreement. Jordan's aura is unparalleled in the basketball field.

"But it's useless no matter how big the aura is. Anyway, I can't play, and Jordan watched the North Carolina game before, and North Carolina lost." He continued.

Tang Tian nodded.

The appearance of Jordan is a great encouragement to the fans, but it may not necessarily be the case for the North Carolina players. The god of basketball is sitting on the sidelines, and the psychological pressure of the players must be great. This may not be true for those players with average psychological quality. is a good thing.

Chapter 85 Talent Explosion ([-]rd watch)

After the warm-up before the game, the players of the two teams returned to their respective halfs, and the scene entered the opening ceremony before the game.

It started with UConn, and the fans ended up chanting "Connecticut Huskies."

After Concordia, North Carolina.

This is definitely the most passionate opening ceremony that Tang Tian has ever seen. It is more majestic than all the previous games, or even the opening ceremony of the NBA.

At the beginning, there were more than 3 people at the scene, which is usually only seen in the football World Cup. The fans cooperated with each other tacitly. Everyone wore blue or blue T-shirts, and even their skin was dyed blue. As the audience stood up and sat down, it was really like the sea was rippling.

When the sea of ​​people fell, the lights on the scene dimmed, and the 3D projection was directly projected on the court. The exciting music and the rolling three-dimensional patterns on the court highlighted the word "流".

When the abbreviation of "North Carolina Tar Heels" finally hit the court, the cheers on the scene could not be stopped.

North Carolina fans chanted the team's slogan, and the momentum was overwhelming.

After the opening ceremony, the North Carolina players were already full of enthusiasm.

"Guys." Tang Tian called the team members together at this time.

The fans and the atmosphere of the previous games were basically evenly matched, and even UConn was even better, but this time it was almost an away game, and he had to do something as the captain.

"We are the dogs, yes we are.

Our fans are the underdog, yes, that's the reality.

Everything is against us.

but!

This is the opportunity!BEST OPPORTUNITY!

We beat opponents stronger than us to prove that we are more worthy of this championship than them.

Beat 'em down, hold down the cheers!

Take the win and recreate the glory of the Connecticut Huskies! "

In his previous life, Tang Tian often poured chicken soup on his team members, so he did it at this time.

The University of Kangda's team members were also getting emotional, and they folded their hands one by one.

"come on!"

"Connecticut huskies!"

As the players swung down vigorously together, the momentum of the University of Kangda players also reached a peak.

"beep!"

There was a long whistle from the sidelines that the game was about to start, and the starting players of both sides appeared on the stage full of confidence, and a battle of focus was imminent.

On the UConn side, in order to deal with North Carolina's double-high inside line, the inside line is still Oriachi and Orlande, the guard is the double point guard of Walker and Napier, the small forward Tang Tian, ​​and Lamb did not start this game play.

After Tang Tian came on the field, he looked towards North Carolina. All five NBA players were present.

Center: Tyler Zeller, 2 meters, a face-to-frame insider with excellent mobility, excellent defensive assistance, accurate mid-range shooting, 13th overall rookie in the first round of 2012.

Power Forward: John Hansen, 2 meters, has a strange wingspan, excellent athletic ability and strong finishing ability. He was the 11th pick in the first round of 2012.

Small forward: Harrison Barnes, 2 meters, a star small forward with all-round offensive and defensive skills, no technical shortcomings, absolutely top three candidates this year, No. 03 pick in 2012.

Shooting guard: Reggie Bullock, a 2-meter forward and guard swingman, tall and athletic wing, capable of offense and defense, was the 01th overall pick in the first round of 2013.

Point guard: Kendall Marshall, a tall point guard of 1 meters, Rondo of the NCAA, with extremely accurate passing, the 93th overall pick in the first round of 2012.

These five people were all first-round picks in their previous lives, and their talents exploded.

This is also the reason why North Carolina will be favored by so many people this year. You can't even match your strength on paper, let alone your tactical literacy as a super prestigious school.

The only disadvantage may be that they are relatively young, and the stability of the game needs to be improved.

But Kangda is younger than them!

Just like the smile on Jordan's face, the fans at the scene had absolute confidence in North Carolina's promotion to the Elite Eight.

Oriachi and Hansen's jump ball, Hansen turned the ball back to the half court under the cheers of the fans, and North Carolina got the chance to attack first.

Marshall holds the ball in the frontcourt, and Barnes and Bullock run around the pick-and-roll in the frontcourt.

It is completely different from the University of Arizona. Although it has strengths, North Carolina has always played team basketball, and tactics are king.

Tang Tian chased Barnes closely and did not give him an easy chance to catch the ball, but Bullock on the other side ran out of the opportunity, caught the ball and made a false throw and put it in the hands of Zeller under the basket. Zeller accelerated and leaned against Ori Archie made a shot, and the ball showed his speed talent undoubtedly.

The cheers of North Carolina fans at the scene were ready to come out.

"boom!"

But with a slap, Oriachi directly gave Zeller a big hat!

Walker rushed to the ground to grab the ball after seeing it, and scrambled with Bullock. The referee finally awarded a scrimmage.

The NCAA scrimmage rules are different from those in the NBA. When a scrimmage is held, the right to the ball is exchanged. Because North Carolina won the jump ball, the right to the ball is also exchanged to the UConn side.

Walker was pulled up by Tang Tian and Napier, and the UConn fans burst into cheers.

North Carolina has better talent, but Kangda's hard work is beyond imagination!

Walker held the ball without any tactical moves, and the players all opened up space, allowing Walker to hit Marshall one by one.

Changing direction, changing direction again, crossing the crotch, lowering the center of gravity and then suddenly starting with a step, Marshall couldn't keep up with Walker's rhythm at all.

Walker broke into the inside with the ball, and Zeller rushed over to help defend. Walker glanced at Oriachi under the basket, and took advantage of Zeller's hesitation, directly leaning on him for a tough layup.

"boom!"

The ball fell into the net bag after hitting the rebound, and Walker opened the scoring for Kangda!

The cheers of the University of Kangda fans continued unabated.

Just like what Tang Tian said in the supermarket, Walker can completely blow up Marshall one-on-one, and Calhoun is also very clear about this, what kind of tactics are wasting energy if he can blow up and run away!

North Carolina's offense, the same tactical movement.

However, under the shouting of Ollie on the sidelines, UConn defended very tightly this time and did not give North Carolina the same chance as in the previous round.

The ball finally reached Barnes' hands, and Barnes held the ball and hit Tang Tian with his back, and all his teammates pulled away.

If there is no opportunity for tactics, it can only rely on the personal ability of the stars.

Barnes managed to beat Tang Tian by hitting him twice.

Although he was 2 centimeters taller than Tang Tian, ​​he weighed 5 kilograms less than Tang Tian, ​​so he couldn't beat him like this.

He switched from the back basket to the front frame, crossed the dribble and accelerated inwards. Tang Tian kept close and didn't give a chance.

In fact, for Tang Tian, ​​it was much easier to defend against Barnes than Williams. Barnes seemed to be omnipotent, but he did not have an absolute advantage like Williams, and he could completely block the opponent.

Barnes had no chance to break through, so he turned around and leaned back, but Tang Tian grabbed the position well and stretched out his hand to interfere.

"boom!"

Barnes' fadeaway shot misses.

North Carolina's continuous offense after the opening failed!

Chapter 86 Wrong way to open?

But at this moment, Zeller caught Oriachi, and Hansen flew up from the three-second zone and made a direct layup.

The North Carolina fans at the scene burst into cheers.

Jordan also reached out to applaud North Carolina.

2 to 2, the two teams fought to a draw.

"Taylor, pay attention to the position. If he can't jump up, he won't be able to catch you." Tang Tian reminded Oland after seeing the ball.

UConn's offense still allowed Walker to play Marshall one-on-one. Marshall tried hard to defend, but his defense was really poor, and Walker was still one step ahead.

Walker rushed to the free throw line, Zeller came out to help defend, Walker directly stuffed the ball to the basket Oriachi, the latter took off and shot, Hansen flew to block the hitter, and Oriachi had two free throw opportunities.

The interference on the scene was loud, and Kangda was completely away.

However, Oriachi withstood the pressure and hit both free throws, helping Kangda get another 2 points.

It can be felt that in the face of a strong enemy, the University of Kangda's players are showing 120% of the state.

North Carolina was attacking in the frontcourt. Barnes failed to hit Tang Tian once, and stopped playing after receiving the ball. He passed it to his teammates, and then pulled Tang Tian to the weak side.

His golf IQ is really good.

Marshall sent a second pass to Bullock, but the latter missed the mid-range opportunity and missed the basket.

At this moment, it was Hansen again, who rose into the air and grabbed the second offensive rebound, and then made a shot that caused a thug foul by Oriachi.

There was a burst of cheers from the North Carolina fans at the scene. This is their style of play. The opponent who directly grabs the board in the frontcourt doubts life.

Calhoun got up at this moment and called Lamb up.

Hansen's free throw opportunity, the first free throw was not hit by the interference of UConn fans. His free throw percentage was just over [-]% this season, and his shooting percentage was relatively poor.

At this time, a short whistle came from the sidelines, and Lamb came on to replace Olande.

Calhoun's original idea was to use the height advantage of Oriachi and Orlande to protect the rebounds, but Orlande's position in the two rounds was too poor.

Unless there is an absolute advantage in rebounding, the position of the card will account for at least [-]% of the influencing factors for success.

Instead of letting Holland lose rebounds like this, it is better to let Tang Tian return to the fourth position to try.

The UConn substitution came early, but North Carolina fans were a little excited.

Such an early adjustment shows that Calhoun has negated his starting lineup, which is definitely a good thing for North Carolina.

Hansen's second free throw made the score 3-4.
