Chapter 100： I just want to win

"唰!"

Smith's three-pointer!

The difference came to 14 points.

欧 An Irving makes Kang U's defense defensive.

他 Under his leadership, Duke University had a climax before the end of the first half, leading Kangda to a full 20 points 47 to 27.

"Kenny, what did I say? They finished the game at halftime!" Barkley said at this time and patted Smith on the shoulder, he finally won Smith once.

Smith spread his hands, Owen changed the situation on the court with his own power, which he did not expect.

Ji Kang's dressing room was a bit dull.

20 points behind, the tournament has hit now, they have never encountered this situation.

And the opponent is still Duke, 20 points, it is a bit unrealistic to want to turn over.

毕竟 After all, this team has a lot of talent. After reaching the semi-finals, it has already been considered an extraordinary play, and it is no shame to be eliminated here.

It's just that Walker's core players are still a little reconciled.

Ka Kahong didn't know what to say at this time. In the face of the absolute talent gap, the role of tactics was very limited.

Silent locker room, the atmosphere could not be suppressed.

Kahong asked the players to adjust their mentality, and then left the locker room with Ollie.

The players either rested on chairs or sat there in a daze.

"We should not lose in this way." Tang Tian said.

The locker room was originally quiet. When he opened his mouth, all the other players looked at him.

"We may not win the game, but we should not lose in this way." Tang Tian continued.

"Don, we have tried our best ..." Smith said.

Other players have tacitly acknowledged that it's not that they are not in good shape but that their talents have been suppressed.

"Yes, maybe we have tried our best, but look at the more than 30,000 fans at the scene. Some of them are students, some are children, some are family, and even elderly people are here. They came from Connecticut not far away. We lose in this way, are we really worthy of them? "

The answer is obvious, but no one speaks.

"This is the only opportunity in all of us, Kemba. It took him three years to get the chance to reach the final four stage, and a student, who has only four years at the university, maybe we will stay next year, but What if you can't make it to the semifinals? Kemba never thinks of having this opportunity again in his life. The same is true of others, Alex, Jeremy, Rossek, Taylor. Is there another chance, so close to the final championship? "

Everyone is silent, but many unwillingness can still be seen from their eyes.

Who will be willing!

"It won't happen again! This is our only and last chance! Yes, we have tried our best, really, but can't we have more? We have come out 100% in the first half, we Get 120% in the second half! Not only for the only opportunity, but also for the fans who have supported us since the regular season! More investment, do everything, not to win the game, Just to leave no regrets! "Tang Tian's decibels kept rising.

"Yes, we can lose, but we must not lose in this way!" Oriaqi looked up.

"艹! I haven't believed that our strength will be so much worse than them!" Smith said and slammed the bench.

就是 "That's it! Go over Duke's group of guys!" Oland shouted and stood up.

Uh ...

Tang Tian's speech was so contagious and heart-piercing that he could clearly feel that the fighting spirit of the Kang Da team members had returned.

Walker stood up at this time and pulled Tang Tian out of the locker room.

"Don, let's find the old man." After Walker left the locker room, he pulled Tang Tian directly to the coach's office.

Tang Tian looked puzzled, wondering what Walker wanted to do, and asked him not to say.

Waiting for Cahon's office, after knocking on the door and entering, he sees Cahon and Oli looking at them with puzzled faces.

The last time I knocked on the door was Tang Tian alone, this time Walker and Tang Tian came together, and looking at Tang Tian's expression, it seemed that Walker came with him.

"Father, I have a hard time over Irving. My strength is below him." Walker said.

Walker's opening, including Tang Tian, ​​all three looked at Walker in amazement.

This is the first time they have heard Walker speak like this.

"But I want to win, so I want to put all my energy into the defense in the second half and try my best to limit him." Walker continued firmly.

Tang Tian said those words in his mind. He only stayed in the junior year to win the championship, and indeed it was his only chance. He wanted to win, he really just wanted to win.

但是 "But the team needs you to score." Kahun said.

Walker is the best defender in the U.K. defender. He averaged nearly 2 steals per game this season, which is among the best in the entire NCAA. But as Kahun said, what UConn needs is still Walker's offense. After all, those who score more Winning the game, even if you really prevent Irving, it is impossible to recover the 20-point difference.

"No, no need." Unexpectedly, Kahun shook his head.

"My performance on the offensive end in the first half was terrible, yes, maybe I can adjust back in the second half, but that takes time, and our time is running out. Instead of this, it is better to give the offense to Tang, Tang's empty seat Three points is our most stable scoring point, UU reading books and we are so far behind, with 3 points we can quickly get the difference back. "Walker continued.

If he changed to the previous one and was so far behind at half time, he would definitely try to score and then lead the team to reverse, but he remembered what Tang Tian said when he returned from the injury and struggled. The real strength is to win. For himself, in order to win, he must become more sane.

After Cajun nodded thoughtfully after listening, Walker really made sense.

"Kemba, wronged you." Kahun finally nodded in agreement, but did not forget to comfort Walker.

表现 The performance in the first half was terrible. If he defends Irving in the second half, Walker's stats will not be very good.

It ’s okay to say that in case of losing, it will be broadcast live in the United States. In front of so many scouts, it will definitely have a great impact on his draft market.

"No, coach, I just want to win." Walker said firmly.

Tang Tian also stared at Walker at this time.

Walker's desire to win has really reached a point of paranoia, this paranoia is contagious.

After a 15-minute break, the starting players of both sides appeared one after another.

"Come on! Connecticut Eskimo Dog!"

Although the team was 20 points behind, the UConn fans did not give up. As soon as the second half came up, they shouted in support of UCond.

Walker held the ball to the frontcourt. Unlike in the first half, he did not call Tang Tian to pick and roll, but instead held the ball at the top of the arc to make tactical gestures.

Ji Kang University members began to intersperse with running positions.

The arrangement of the bench in the basketball court will change the field in the second half, but the bench will always be the defensive half. Coach K is now vigilant after seeing Kang Da's tactical adjustment.
