The NCAA game is divided into the first half and the second half, with a 15-minute break in the middle.
After ended the first half of the contest, both teams returned to their locker rooms to rest.
Kahong also summed up the team's performance in the first half and points to note in the second half in the locker room.
"We performed very well in the first half. When we continue to maintain this intensity of defense, our opponents are obviously very uncomfortable."
但这 "But this is their home field, they will definitely not give up easily, so we must continue to focus in the second half."
Uh ...
"Kemba, if the outside has a chance in the second half, you can choose to pass."
Cajun said suddenly to Walker alone.
天 Tang Tian's defensive performance in the first half has made him satisfied enough, but he still looks forward to Tang Tian's performance from the outside.
It's just that this expectation is just his personal, so he didn't say it is obvious, and with Tang Tian's current position in the team, he can't design tactics for him alone.
Walker nodded with sweat, he scored more in the first half, but his physical exertion was not small.
还有 There are still more than five minutes before the start of the second half, Kahun let the players rest for the last time, he and Ollie went out first.
Seeing that both coaches were gone, Tang Tian got up and walked beside Walker.
"Kemba, you were so good in the first half. You will surely be trapped in the opposite half of the game. Even if you don't do that, they will at least let Clay defend you and remember to divide the ball." Tang Tian said to Walker.
His words were not loud, but Lam and Napier heard it besides Walker.
They all looked at Tang Tian in doubt, not knowing why he had to say the same thing about Cahong again.
"I see." To their surprise, Walker nodded seriously.
The person next to him did not feel much, but the party Walker felt completely different when he heard the two said.
Kahong just gave him a chance to spread more, but Tang Tian said that the opponent's possible strategy adjustment, let him beware of this in advance.
This is the same reason as Ori roared Oriarch. Tang Tian's previous coaching level is higher than Kahun and Ori. He naturally knows how to get the team members to understand and accept the fastest.
"Alec, you don't need to raise your position to pick and roll. That's what Orland does. Your height has an advantage in the interior. Once we can't make a shot, you have more rebounds in the frontcourt. Snatch. "Tang Tian said to Oriarch again.
Auri Archi nodded directly. Tang Tian mentioned a few words to him while playing Marquette University. He still benefits a lot.
At this time, Lam and Napier looked at Tang Tian with surprise.
Walker and Tang Tian have a good relationship, and Tang Tian just gives some reminders, Walker accepts that they can understand.
But Oriarch is also a sophomore! Tang Tian's words were almost all in the tone of the coach. Oriaqi was not surprised at all, and even nodded even without hesitation?
"Why? Is there anything dirty on my face?" Tang Tian saw the expressions of the two hands and touched their faces.
"No." Lam and Napier smiled awkwardly, then turned their heads one after the other.
回来 The midfielder returned and the starting players of the two teams continued to play. On the UConn side, Tang Tian was still not in the starting lineup.
The second half came to Washington State University's offense, Thompson was still running without the ball, the University of Smith Smith is trying to keep up, and his teammates are actively helping him defend.
However, when the attention of UConn was focused on Thompson, the defender suddenly passed the ball to the inside, and while Oriacs was blocked by the pick-and-roll, their center scored directly from inside.
As soon as the second half came back, the home team took the lead.
The difference in points was narrowed to 11 points.
Tang Tian turned his head and took a look at the bench in the other half. The coach called Bena was a bit big before the game, but the level was not bad.
Although Thompson was not good by Tang Tianfang in the first half, no one dare to despise him. Bena used this to attract defense and then create opportunities for other points to score. Once Kang Da is distracted to defend other points, , Thompson can also run out of opportunities to shoot directly.
This is tantamount to making adjustments based on the first half of the game to make the attack from a point directly into a system.
Kang Kang's attack, Walker's possession of the ball.
Sure enough, as Tang Tian said, Washington State University also made adjustments on the defensive end. They directly asked Thompson to defend Walker.
王 The situation of trump vs trump in basketball games is not common. Especially in NCAA, the trump card of a team shoulders the team's scoring task. Defending the opponent's trump card will definitely be physically difficult.
At this time, Lam and Napier turned to look at Tang Tian again, and the expressions in surprise were even worse.
The adjustment of the opponent was actually given by Tang Tian!
Walker continuously changed direction to break through Thompson, he is faster than Thompson.
However, his consecutive breakthroughs did not create an easy scoring opportunity.
Thompson's defense is surprisingly good.
Bena now smiled proudly.
Most people only see Thompson's offensive performance, but ignore his deterrent on the defensive end. UC Reading
If Zhen Zhen devotes himself to the defense, Thompson's defense is not much worse than that of the opposite Tang Tian!
Walker's last layup was missed by Thompson and rebounded by Thompson.
There was a cheer at the scene.
I came back in the second half with this offense and defense, and the home team let them see the hope of winning again.
Washington State University's offense, the same tactics, this time their defenders, suddenly hit the ball into the post and directly lay up to score.
The difference was narrowed to 9 points.
Kahong stood up and walked to the sideline at this time, reminding the players to pay attention to the other players.
His response was not too slow.
As a result of Kang Kang's attack, Walker's possession continued to be guarded by Thompson.
Because it is not a double-team, Walker has the intention to pass but his teammates have no chance. This time he chose to change to the emergency stop jumper.
But Thompson's height is 2.01 meters, and he still gives enough interference after jumping.
"boom!"
Walker came back in the second half and failed to make two consecutive shots.
But at this moment, Oriacs under the basket pressed Washington State's inside to grab offensive rebounds, and then passed to Walker.
This second attack was beyond Thompson's surprise, and he was too late to defend.
Walker made a short-range hit.
The difference in points was reopened to 11 points.
Bena had a proud look, and this offensive rebound grab was obviously unexpected.
At this time, Lam and Napier's benches over Kang U's bench looked like Tang Tian was already alive.
I want to know that Ori Archie rushed to the front court and Tang Tian told him at halftime.
Tangtian, have the power of an unknown prophet? !!
