Defense, it seems like a simple two words, but when you really study it, it's complicated.

Single defense, co-defense, follow-up defense, joint defense, etc., which involve too many technologies.

The strength of individual defense (Tony Allen) is individual defense, which is focused on this part of the system, whether it is the explanation given by the system or the use effect in previous games.

The skill is this skill, but how much ability can be exerted depends on the person who uses it.

Just like Tony Allen has the best body in the NBA, if he comes to the NCAA, almost no one can score in front of him, but Tang Tian can't, he can only limit most opponents at most.

However, Tang Tian is stronger than Tony Allen in that he was a coach in his previous life, and he was a coach at the level of the godfather of the NBA, and he was more familiar with the movement and tactics of the players on the court than anyone else.

So actually, there is another hidden thing in defense, reading, or judgment.

For example, judging your offensive habits, judging your choices, judging the intention of blocking people like just now.

After watching it off the court for a while, Tang Tian actually knew more about Washington State University's style of play than Cajon.

On the defensive end, he insisted on 2-3, and on the offensive end, he played without the ball around Thompson.

So all these blocks and pick-and-rolls are for Thompson to run out of the open space to do services, and naturally there can be no such thing as a split, and he doesn't have to think about other people when he passes the block, anyway, accelerate, squeeze, grab position, squeeze through, it's as simple as that.

If you read well and judge accurately, your defense will naturally be in place.

Thompson is forced to be uncomfortable, he has a high ball quotient, top off-ball ability, but limited offensive skills with the ball, and he is at a loss for a pressing defense.

Seeing that the 35-second offensive time was approaching, he could only choose to make a reluctant shot.

But this ball is different from the previous three-point chase with people's heads, this is not a matter of difficulty, but a complete lack of angle.

"Toot!"

The ball was shot, and when the attack arrived on the sideline for 35 seconds, it was directly a three-not-touch.

The scene was in an uproar.

This Thompson's previous fiery hand was instantly lowered?

There was a boiling cheer from the bench at Kangda.

Finally, Thompson didn't score three points again, and if he scored again, their mentality was probably going to be shattered.

UConn's offense, taking advantage of Washington State's somewhat confused effort, Walker held the ball lightning through the bag and scored a quick layup.

4-9, Kangda continued to chase the score.

Benett stood up from the bench at this time, and the situation, it seems, after Tang Tian came on the court, began to be a little unfavorable to Washington State University.

Washington State University's offense, the same tactics, this time the teammates made three blocks and dismantles for Thompson in a row, and the blocks and dismantles were more resolute than the other, but without exception, they were all squeezed or robbed by Tang Tian.

Just like Bena felt, Tang Tian was a loach that couldn't be caught at this time!

Thompson ran to the top of the circle to catch the ball, and Tang Tian's high-pressure defense came up for the first time.

He had the feeling of being trapped in a cage, indescribably depressed.

He's not stupid, he already knows he won't have a chance to throw again, and this time he chose to pass.

Leaning his back against Tang Tian, looking at the defenders who came over, bent over to pass.

"Smack!"

But at the moment when he passed the ball, Tang Tian directly cut off his ball!

The individual defensive package has a certain probability of stealing the opponent, Thompson was forced to have no chance to shoot at this time, and the choice to pass the ball was completely expected by Tang Tian.

After Tang Tian broke the ball, he gave the ball to Walker not far from him as soon as possible, and Walker quickly attacked the front court, and scored a layup against the pursuing Washington State University player, which also caused the latter's beater to foul.

2+1！

Walker roared at the crowd excitedly after scoring.

Cool!

It was the coolest ball he'd hit since the opening.

Benett scolded angrily at this time, this kind of ball is the most uneconomical choice to lose 2+1.

The foul player bowed his head at his scolding, but his anger still didn't subside.

In fact, what really makes him angry is not this defensive choice, it is already very hard to chase here, and it is completely Walker's personal ability to not commit it, what really makes him angry is the offense.

This damn Tang Tian is much better defended than he imagined.

Thompson opened with three three-pointers in a row, and his hands were about to catch fire, but he was forced to be pressed by Tang Tian, and there was a low-level passing error just now!

Walker added a free throw, and after scoring seven points in a row, it has helped Kangda chase the score to 7-9.

"Kick!"

"Come on! Puma! ”

"Kick!"

"Come on! Puma! ”

The DJ sensed that the momentum was not right, and directed the audience to cheer for the home team.

The cheers of more than 30,000 people were like a rainbow.

Washington State's frontcourt offense was still to Thompson's continuous pick-and-roll, and this time they went directly to four blocks, and the power forward went around in a circle twice in a row.

It took a lot of effort to finally stop Tang Tian.

Thompson ran to the top of the circle to receive a pass from a defender.

"Bang!"

Missed three points.

After being prevented by Tang Tian for two consecutive rounds, his hand felt completely cool.

Oriache grabbed the defensive rebound, and Cornda pushed back again, and this time Lamb took the lead and scored a layup before receiving Walker's pass.

10 to 9!

After being hit by a 9-0 offensive run by Washington State University, UConcus came back from a timeout and returned a wave of 10-0!

Bednar stretched out his hand and called a timeout.

If this is not called a timeout, the game may have to be spent at half-time.

Tang was heroically cheered by his teammates when he got off the court, and this period Kang was able to get up and down, and his defense of Thompson was too crucial.

"It's incredible, he exceeded my expectations, he was like a refrigerator, and he directly froze Thompson's hand." At this time, the commentator admitted that he was slapped in the face, and said with a smile.

"If you do that, McHale may have to collect royalties from you." The narrator said with a smile.

can clearly feel that after Tang Tian defended Thompson, the two commentators' views on him have obviously changed.

After the timeout, Bednar did not adjust his strategy, but used blocking and picking more frequently, and Thompson's continuous off-ball running was also a great physical exertion, although he also managed to get rid of Tang Tian and had some chances, but the shooting percentage was not high.

On the other hand, on Kangda's side, Walker is getting smoother and smoother, not only the breakthroughs he is good at are frequently successful, but also the mid-range jumpers are also repeatedly hit.

As a result, at halftime, he had scored 20 points personally, and such a strong performance also helped Kangda lead the opponent 43-30 in the first half.

In addition to the three three-pointers he scored in the opening game, Thompson made 1 of 9 shots under Tang Tian's defense, and his hand was cold.
