Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Rhythm of a Wave
From being infinitely iron to being four points behind, the home fans are suffering. Fifteen minutes of half-time seemed to be a long time, and everyone was silent, playing with their phones or eliminating snacks.
Martelley was happy and proud to be able to force Connecticut to scrap the three-high lineup, which was a complete surprise, and the old man didn't show his own care. He replaced Lester Will, just to improve his attack power, but he didn't expect to find a way to get rid of it all of a sudden, and hit the opponent's vital point.
Now with a four-point lead, Matleley seems to be calm and unhurried, but he doesn't know if it's pretending, "Boys, you're doing well, do you know how high the school's expectations are for you?" People are already on campus ready to celebrate, and I don't think you're going to make them wait, right? ”
"How strong is Connecticut? The history book is full of glory, and last year's championship was them. But! Now that we're ahead, I have a chance to beat them, a team that people are considered favourites to win the tournament and we want to show others at this moment that we are not the legendary ponies and that we have the quality to get involved, champions! Not far away. "Martelley was full of passion, dancing and giving speeches, giving his final speech for the final battle." Imagine that at this moment on the screen in the square of the campus, countless St. Joseph's students are silently watching you, waiting for you to return triumphantly, and outside in the arena, there are countless people who have come to the University of Connecticut, the place of our enemy. Why? They are to tell you that they are with you, that you are not alone in the fight, and that countless St. Joseph's students are standing behind you, staring at you and proud of your hard work. ”
When Kyle thought that Martelley was finished, he finished pouring the chicken soup and was ready to sit on the bench and rest. As everyone knows, the old man just licked his lips and exhaled, only to hear him babble and continue, "Defeat this opponent and you will enter the top 16, and all of you know that this is an opportunity." As long as you cross this hurdle, you will win the attention of the whole country, you will be respected by all the teachers and students of St. Joseph's, you can enjoy the glory of victory, and you may be able to go further in basketball. When you get married or reminisce, you can say to your wife, your children, or yourself, that when you were in school at St. Joseph's, you did a great thing, and you were a part of it, and that's wonderful, isn't it? So, now, it's time to bring out all your energy and fight to the end. ”
Kyle preemptively applauded, interrupting Martelley. The teenagers of the Yale team themselves are excited, and victory is always the thing that the players crave the most, and Martleley's speech was on target.
"Ladies! Good evening gentlemen, this is the NCAA Championship 32-16 match, the second half of the Connecticut Badgers vs. St. Joseph Yale, welcome back and let's see what happens next? I'm looking forward to it, Brandi, to tell us what you think and which team you're rooting for. ”
In the last minutes of the first half, St. Joseph's sudden change of formation caught Kang off guard and made the direction of the game even more confusing. Talent, tactics, teamwork, and other factors aside, I personally prefer UConn to get a promotion spot because my nephew attends this school. ”
"We are good partners, I think the same as you, but St. Joseph still has a chance, and they can't be ignored. OK! We turned our eyes to the arena and the game went on. "The two of them were blatantly despising St. Joseph, and they clearly believed in talent more.
Smith didn't play, he was big and physically exerted, and Matley chose to let him slow down for a while.
Now St Joseph's lineup on the field is half a main and half starter, which can be seen in the cautiousness of Martelley, Kyle, Martin, Larry, Adams, Maureen. The Connecticut lineup remains the same, or Chels, Panlar, Rudy, Villanueva, Boone. Jim: That's out of the way!
Kyle controlled the ball over half court, played blocking and dismantling with Morin, a guy with a mid-distance basket, and burst into the basket, Kyle didn't take two steps before being surrounded by two people, Kyle could only choose to return the ball, because the blocking and dismantling formed a dislocation, Morin faced Chels, such a big height difference, without Kyle's eyes, Morin resolutely shot, but unfortunately not! Kyle instantly felt like he had hit a hole.
Boone got the rebound and Chels stepped forward. Rudy held the ball and attacked, but was also surrounded by St. Joseph and threw the ball to Panlar. The latter took a step back, and Martin, who was facing the return defense, also shot, in!
The Panral's feel continued, which was not a good thing for St. Joseph. Kyle once again held the ball hard, and in the face of several big men under the basket, Kyle still chose to pass the ball to Morin, who was empty and unattended in front of him. In the last round, Morin played misplaced and didn't score, which made Kyle depressed, but everyone has a bad hand, let alone the first ball, so Kyle is still willing to trust his teammates, and the result is that this guy shoots again.
Chels flew to the front court with the ball, and Kyle looked deeply at Morin when he stepped back, this undercover agent was too obvious, the last time he played the University of Louisville, he was also so festering.
When Kyle caught up with Chels and was about to stand in a defensive position, this guy went straight to the fire, shot from three points out, and hit!
Less than two minutes into the game, things were not good, and Matleley immediately called a timeout for substitutions, while spitting out Maureen. Ask him what kind of plane he is doing? Hands are soft.
It's still a big four small lineup, and when he comes back, Kyle still plays with Smith to block and dismantle, breaks in two steps, and comes to wrap up again, it seems that Jim is ordering him to be crucified at halftime! Kyle didn't think much of it and returned the ball to Smith, who still didn't have it in the middle distance.
Villanueva's back-to-back single, bullying Larry, Martin went to help defend, passed out, Rudy meditated for 0.01 seconds, and also shot a three-pointer. The distance was not too far, Martin turned around and flew directly, and his hand covered Rudy's face, but it was useless, and he was hit! This is the rhythm of being beaten, you must know that Rudy's three points are about the same level as Kyle, which also goes in, indicating that luck has come.
At this time, the audience who supported St. Joseph's scene felt bad all of a sudden! The screen was silent. It took only two minutes to lead by four points to be five points behind. This kind of speed is so fast that people can't accept it.
And the white uniforms are in waves, and the sound resounded in the sky, alarming the birds, and squinting at the world, especially the blue world, as if to say, small sample! Oh yes.
The two uncles of ESPN are also happy, and they finally hit it, it's not easy to wait for so long! Linked to the ratings, in addition to whether the game is good or not, it also depends on whether the audience is willing to watch it, Connecticut, as the favorite to win the championship, of course, has to move forward in the direction of victory, which is a matter of script, and it is also expected.
