Chapter 18 Will He Still Score?
The East, in the eyes of Westerners, has always been a place full of mystery, especially for those who have never been abroad.
They really have this idea at the moment.
Kahun breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
Auriarch is not stupid and knows that he has an advantage in height. This change is good news for Kangda.
The situation on the field began to enter a stalemate.
The other players at WSU are not very talented. After UConn increased its defense, they did not score as easily.
However, after Walker was defended by Thompson, he basically didn't have many scoring opportunities, and only scored with Oriarch's sporadic frontcourt boards.
The two teams played for more than five minutes, and Kangda maintained a double-digit lead with 49-39.
At this time, Washington State University took the initiative to call a timeout.
"Tang, you are ready to play." Kahon also called Tang Tian up at this time.
After the suspension came back, Tang Tian came on to replace Smith, and he still played at No. 3.
In the Washington State University round, Thompson took Tang Tian around half-court, and their guard took the ball directly to the basket.
Auriarch's block under the basket, the guard didn't hide, and went straight on.
The referee's whistle on the sidelines signaled that Oriarch's thugs committed a foul.
After making two free throws, the home team once again brought the difference to within 10 points.
Looking back, Lamb's shot didn't go in, Ouriarch picked another offensive rebound and assigned it to Walker, who also made Thompson's thug.
The same two free throws, the points difference back to 10 points.
The stalemate continues.
"Dengdeng!"
"Come on! Cougar!"
"Dengdeng!"
"Come on! Cougar!"
Driven by the home DJ, the home audience continued to cheer for the home team.
"Now the difference has been maintained at 10 points, it depends on who can find a way to break the deadlock first." The commentator looked at the situation on the field and said.
"Washington State University is already making adjustments," the commentator said at this time.
The commentator turned his head suspiciously, and then followed the gaze of the guests towards the front court.
The guard of Washington State University, another lifeless breakthrough caused a foul on Oriarch.
Oriarch received two fouls in a row, and the cumulative number of fouls has reached 3 times.
"Alex, pay attention to your fouls." Ollie shouted and reminded on the sidelines.
After two rounds, Kangda has already sensed the opponent's adjustment. Benner saw that Oriarch had an advantage in offensive rebounds, and wanted to knock him off the court directly.
Oriarch heard Olly's reminder, and he became very careful in the next round, but the tactical execution of the opposing Washington State University was very strong and kept pounding, and Orland's help defense was too late.
Although he has been careful and careful, because of his slow speed, he still received his fourth personal foul when he played ten minutes in the second half.
The NCAA was about to be sent off for five fouls, and there were ten minutes left in the game. Kahun dared not take the risk of letting Oriarch stay on the court and replaced him with Forsyth.
Forsyth moves faster than Oriarch, but is much shorter, and with Oriarch's exit, their offensive rebounding advantage also disappears.
In the offense of Kangda, Tang Tian took the initiative to pick and roll Walker and asked the latter to change the defender.
Walker took the opportunity to break through to the basket.
But Thompson directly ignored Tang Tian to double-team Walker at this time.
Walker did not choose to score the ball in the double-team, but chose to be strong, and the ball failed to score in the end.
"Benner is really a very good coach. After he knocked down Connecticut's Oriarch, the pressure on the defensive end suddenly became less." The commentator said after watching the round.
"Yes, Tang has no offensive ability, they can unscrupulously double-team Walker, and the stalemate has been broken." The commentator continued.
"Master, are we going to replace Tang?" Ollie said to Kahon at this time, Tang Tian can't attack, and Walker's performance is too limited.
Kahon didn't speak. When the players returned to the half, he shouted at Walker: "Kemba, pay attention to the ball."
Walker was called by Kahong, and he also remembered Tang Tian's midfielder's advice.
Because Thompson was alone in front of him, he forgot those reminders, and Kahun's shouting called him back.
In the offense of Washington State University, Thompson was defended by Tang Tian, and the offense of other points of Washington State University failed to score, and Forsyth protected the rebound.
62 to 56, the point difference on the field is 6 points.
Walker took the ball to the frontcourt, Tang Tian continued to pick and roll, and Walker continued to break in.
Thompson let Tang Tian go to double-team.
Walker looked back and realized that Tang Tianluo was at the three-point line.
Tang Tian has not shown his ability to shoot three-pointers before, but he knows Tang Tian's ball quotient.
Tang Tian would take the initiative to pick and roll, and he landed in that position, indicating that he was sure.
He chose to trust Tang Tian and threw the ball out of the double-team.
The ball was in Tang Tian's hands.
A completely vacant opportunity.
"It's a pity." The commentator couldn't help but said when he saw this. Tang Tian has no offensive ability. If the person who picks and rolls is Smith or Lamb, then this ball is a good opportunity. Walker's pass is also It was announced that Kangda’s tactics for more than ten seconds had gone in vain.
The fans at the scene were also delighted. Tang Tian didn't know how to attack. If the ball was passed to him, it was a complete waste of attacking time.
Ollie also deflated his mouth helplessly. Kahon just didn't listen to him. If Smith was replaced earlier, the ball might have been scored.
Kahun looked at the court expectantly.
After Tang Tian caught the ball, he directly chose to shoot!
This is his first 3-pointer in an NCAA game!
Everyone looked surprised, because it conflicted with what they knew.
A desperate choice?
Most people have this thought in their hearts, it is not appropriate not to vote for such a large vacancy!
But soon their thoughts were gone.
Take off, raise your hands, straighten your arms, and pull your wrists.
Tang Tian's shooting is as standard as Thompson's!
Even as fast!
The ball swirled in the air and crossed a long parabola, and in everyone's stunned eyes, it fell straight towards the net bag.
"Shh!"
A crisp sound echoed in the stadium.
Tang Tian's three-point shot, hollow into the net!
He made his first goal in the NCAA game!
The difference was widened to 9 points again!
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
"Beautiful!" Kahon was the first to react, the expectation in his eyes turned into a hint of joy, and he couldn't help waving his fists and shouting.
Kangda's bench also boiled in the next instant.
The ball was thrown like clouds and water, and it looked extremely comfortable.
"Will he still score?" The guest commentator did not expect that he underestimated Tang Tian again, and couldn't help but speak in astonishment.
"It seems to be." The commentator said with a wry smile.
