Chapter 66: Wright's Performance

"They are grossly underestimated." In the commentary seat, the commentator couldn't help but sigh after watching the opening performance of Kangda.

The media put UConn in the third gear, after the teams of the University of Arizona and Kansas, the main reason is that the media sees the limited talent of these players as UConn, but now it seems that they underestimate Walker, Lamb and Tang Tian, and even Oriarchie.

Two scoring points, a defensive gate, and a big man with solid fundamentals are the standard for an NCAA powerhouse.

San Diego State University's offense, Franklin's jumper after the pick-and-roll still didn't score.

Oriarche continued to protect the rebound.

There was a stirring on the side of the San Diego State fans.

The game was played for almost three minutes and their home team was yet to score.

At this time, Cajon smiled on the sidelines.

Although it was the first time they had played against each other, as a 40-year veteran, he had much more experience in this kind of game than ordinary coaches.

San Diego State's two forwards are the core of the offense, one is good at attacking in the low post, the other is good at breaking, and the common denominator is that they like to attack the basket.

According to this characteristic, his pre-game deployment was to let Kang Dashou defend a pseudo-2-3 joint defense.

The so-called pseudo-2-3 joint defense is to keep the man under normal circumstances, and once the opponent attacks inside, he will directly shrink the basket and become a 2-3 joint defense, not giving the opponent a chance to score inside.

This defensive style, which is between man-to-man and joint defense, was invented by the Pistons in the late '90s to deal with Michael Jordan, and it is still quite practical to use today.

Kangda's offensive in the frontcourt did not score, and in retrospect, Leonard's breakthrough was also blocked by Tang Tian and Oriarchie, who saw the opportunity to grab a defensive rebound.

Kangda is playing a textbook defense.

San Diego State fans were agitated, and they would never have imagined that Kang would suddenly make such a move before the game.

At this pace, San Diego State has no chance of winning.

Kangda's offense, Lamb's breakaway recreated Franklin's beater foul.

After he made one of two free throws, Kangda got off to a dream start 8-0.

UConn fans are cheering as they see the team advance to the round of 32.

It was Leonard who stepped up on the brink of danger, and he took advantage of Wright's block to catch the ball and shoot the mid-range, and finally helped San Diego State University break the scoring drought.

"That's it! That's it! Wright yelled at Leonard after he scored.

Kangda's frontcourt offense, Lamb took advantage of Tang Tian's blocking to break through the basket, and Wright made a shot after confrontation.

Wright lay down in response, and the referee's whistle sounded, signaling Wright's defensive foul.

"What? Defensive fouls? Are you sure?! Wright sat there and reached out and slammed the ground and shouted.

His teammates came over and picked him up, and he was still there chattering.

Lamb made two free throws, and this time he made both free throws in the face of boos, and UConn continued to lead 10-2.

San Diego State University's offense, Leonard borrowed the block to shoot again, and Tang Tian grabbed the block and gave the interference to the distraction this time.

Oriage wanted to defend the rebound, but Wright had a small movement at the bottom of the ball, Oriarchie lost control of his body and didn't hold the rebound, Wright grabbed the ball and then shot, Oriage shot again and hit him in the hand.

The referee blows the whistle and signals to Oriage's thugs.

"He pushed someone!" Oriacchi shouted at the referee after being whistled for a foul, and Wright kept making small moves after the opening, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

"No, hitter, two free throws." The referee ignored Oriage's protests and turned and walked straight to the technical table.

Wright directly reached out and applauded at this time.

Oriarchie was a little angry and wanted to rush forward, but Tang Tianyan quickly grabbed him.

"Calm down, we're ahead by a big margin, and he's just trying to provoke you." He reminded Oriarchie loudly.

After this paragraph, he has basically figured out this Wright's style of play, which is very similar to the Warriors' Green, and they are all players with a lot of mental attributes.

You don't feel much when the team is downwind, but you have a strong presence when you are upwind, whether it's yelling at Leonard before or trying to make Lamb offensive fouls, including those small actions, it's all his means.

This kind of player is very good at taking advantage of the referee, although the ball in front of him was blown for a defensive foul, but he reacted very much, put enough pressure on the referee, and those actions were not directed at the referee, and he would not be blown for a technical foul.

Oriage was stopped by Tang Tian and stopped his impulsive actions, but he could still clearly feel that he was very unhappy with Wright.

Wright's free throws, his free throws were not bad, and he hit both free throws in the face of the boos of the UConn fans, helping the team close the point difference.

Back in the half, he shouted at his teammates again.

Kangda's offense, Walker's pull-up jump shot after blocking and dismantling didn't score, and Oriache grabbed the offensive rebound and prepared to attack.

Wright's block misses the ball and slaps Oriage in the face.

Oriage was furious on the spot and overturned Wright.

This time, the players on both sides came to the two to confront each other, and the field was full of gunpowder.

Fans on both sides also booed.

The referee separated the players on both sides, and after watching the video on the sidelines, he ruled that although Wright's defense missed, the rushing ball was not a rush, giving Wright an ordinary defensive foul, and Oriage's actions were obviously malicious, and almost caused a conflict, and directly sentenced the second-degree malicious expulsion from the game.

UConn fans booed, and San Diego State fans cheered.

Looking at Oriaki, who appeared wrapped in a towel, Tang Tian and Walker glanced at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.

Oriache can hold Wright down in terms of ability, but it is difficult for the substitute Forsys to do so, and the situation will certainly not be as easy as it was after the opening game without this inside barrier.

Two free throws and one throw, Wright hit both free throws with a smile on his face.

At the end of this round, Contain conceded four points and one ball possession inside and out (Oriage missed both free throws before leaving).

San Diego State University's possession, Reitra went to the high post to block Franklin, and Franklin burst to the basket against Forsys, directly forcing the latter's hitter.

After he hit both free throws, San Diego State closed the margin to 8-12.

Walker scored a goal in the front court of Connectn, and returned to Tang Tian to defend Franklin's continuous strong attack, but Leonard got an offensive rebound above Forsys's head, and the difference between the two sides was still 4 points.

can feel that after Oriarchie left the court, even if Kangda still shrank under the basket, the defensive strength under the basket has obviously weakened.
