Chapter Ninety-Eight: Kang Da is not weak
"Don't be affected by the opponent's opening form, they can't keep this shooting percentage all the time, maintain the defensive intensity, and hit the basket more on the offensive end." Cajon shouted to the team.
The noisy environment of more than 70,000 people at the scene made it difficult to calm down, and even an old handsome man like him was a little uncalm.
Tang Tian's brain was also spinning rapidly at this time.
This Duke team is too reasonable on the offensive end, and Coach K's tactical system is very mature, using the most basic basketball tactics such as blocking and dislocation to create opportunities and give players enough freedom on the court.
Coach K is also the head coach of the U.S. team, whether it's the U.S. team or Duke, this set of tactics is a perfect fit for this kind of talented team.
It's really hard for Kangda to limit their offense.
The best way for them to change the situation is to play the offense and use the offense to lead the defense.
"Kemba, that Plumlee did a good job defending in the box, you can finish with Kelly as much as you can with mid-range or throws." When he came on the field, Tang Tian pulled Walker and admonished.
Duke's lineup, Kelly is their best breakthrough on the offensive end.
After the timeout, neither side made any changes to the lineup.
Kangda's offense, Tang Tian continued to block and dismantle Walker, and after Walker dismantled his opponent Kelly, his low-leaning body suddenly burst inward, and when he reached the free throw line, he made a quick stop to shake off Kelly's throw.
His move is quite the style of the idol Parker.
Plumlee struggled to make a save.
"Bang!"
The ball went past Plumlee's defense and bounced off the front of the basket.
However, Plumlee came out on defense, and Oriaki was released under the basket, and he seized the opportunity to score a rebound.
Kangda finally continued to score.
The UConn fans cheered, and the effect of Cajon's timeout was immediate.
Duke came back to play a combination, and Singler picked up Smith's pass and caused Orryarchie to hit the ball.
After hitting both free throws, Duke still led 11-4.
Tang Tian continued to block Walker in the frontcourt, and Walker hit Kelly again, this time Walker seized the opportunity and pulled in from the middle distance of the emergency stop.
6 to 11,5 points difference.
Although they couldn't contain Duke's offense, they also scored points one after another after the timeout, biting the difference.
After the continuous offensive success, Kangda's enthusiasm on the defensive end has obviously improved, and the joint defense is in place.
Irving borrowed Kelly's three-point shot from the outside, and Tang Tian jumped up to interfere.
"Bang!"
Irving's three-pointer was disrupted and Oriage picked up a defensive rebound.
Walker held the ball and counterattacked, Duke directly wrapped the ball, Walker made a mistake in the bag, Duke counterattacked after Smith took the ball, and Irving received Smith's pass and then shot to chase down the three.
Lamb rushed back and struggled to get the interference.
"Bang!"
Irving missed consecutive three-point shots, and the rebound was picked up by Tang Tian.
Kangda countered the fast attack, and Walker's three-point shot in the front court also missed.
After each of them played a wave of attacks, both teams were feeling down.
Coach K reacted in a timely manner, seeing that Irving was not feeling good, he directly called Seth Curry from the bench.
When Irving was sidelined due to injury, Curry was the team's starting No. 1.
Curry dribbled to the frontcourt, fed the ball to Smith, and ran around the block himself without the ball.
Much like his older brother Stephen Curry, Seth is also a two-way guard who can play with and without the ball.
Kangda defended the 2-3 joint defense at this time, Curry took advantage of his teammates' continuous blocking and dismantling to get the opportunity, Smith made a pass with an advance amount, and Curry made a three-point shot after receiving the ball.
Rosec Smith's defense was half a beat slower and his flying block interference was limited.
"Huh!"
Curry's first three-point attempt from the outside was pinpointed.
Duke fans raised their hands in cheers.
Stephen Curry's original three-point performance in the NCAA is still fresh in the memory of fans, and now the older brother is a hot newcomer in the league, and the younger brother's three-point performance is to keep up with the pace of the older brother.
Kangda attacked in the frontcourt, and Lamb ran out of the middle distance to catch the ball and still didn't score, and his hand was not on the line tonight.
This is also the most disadvantageous place compared to Kangda and Duke, there are players on the Duke court who have a bad hand, and they can directly change to a player with similar strength, but no one can change Kangda.
There are only a few talented players in the NCAA schools, but Duke is not, and that's where it plays the most.
Plumlee grabbed the defensive rebound, and Smith carried the ball to the frontcourt and continued to signal Curry to run.
This time, Kangda's defense followed, and Curry didn't have a good chance to make a shot after receiving the ball.
Plumlee took the initiative to pick up the pick-and-roll.
Curry was very smart, and at the moment when the block was formed, he didn't wait for Walker to come around, and directly pulled out a three-point shot.
"Huh!"
Curry's cold arrow three points back!
"Oh! The Curry family is all three-point sharpshooters! Barkley couldn't help but exclaim in the commentary box.
Curry's two three-pointers turned the margin from 5 to 11 points in an instant!
Three points are really the most lethal weapon.
Instead of calling a timeout, Cajon motioned for the team to switch back to man-marking.
11 points, which is already a very dangerous margin for UConn, and if they can't keep up the score, this game will probably really be spent in the first half as Barkley said.
"Come on! Connecticut Huskies! ”
At the scene, Nata fans shouted and cheered for Connectn.
Tang Tian continued to block and dismantle Walker in the front court, this time Duke did not change, and Walker seized the opportunity to return the ball to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian catches the ball, but Kelly flies out and struggles to block it.
is also a spatial No. 4 position, Kelly can be said to know Tang Tian very well, as long as he pounces, it will be difficult for Tang Tian to hit this ball.
Kelly's judgment was correct, but he underestimated Tang Tian's ball quotient.
After Tang Tian saw Kelly pounce so thoroughly, he took the ball and dribbled to the side, directly letting Kelly fly past him.
When Kelly disappeared from view, he took aim at the frame.
Empty three-pointers, only when they are not disturbed by defense, can have a high shooting percentage, but it does not mean that he can only squat there and wait for the three-point ball, this kind of shot after shaking people away is also unguarded.
"Huh!"
Tang Tian's three-point hand fell and returned Curry with an answerball!
The margin returned to 8 points.
The fans cheered continuously.
This three points is quite critical, and it pulled Kangda, who was originally on the edge of the cliff, back!
Duke's offense, Smith's breakthrough after blocking and dismantling was seen through by Tang Tian, Tang Tian saved a direct steal, and threw the ball to Walker after breaking the ball.
Walker received the ball and advanced quickly, and when he got to the front court, he made a layup and opened Curry's board and put it in!
11-17, after Curry scored two three-pointers in a row, Kangda immediately returned a wave of 5-0!
"Haha, Charles, what am I talking about? Walker's ability, Don's energy, this UConn team is really not weak! Smith finally raised his eyebrows and laughed.
