Chapter Ninety-Six: A Change in the Situation
The Tigers' offense was limited, and Kansas fans were certainly the happiest. From the beginning of the game to the present, this is the only thing that makes them happy, and thinking about the Kansas giant, being beaten into a dead dog in the first 30 minutes of the game, is not only a shame, it is simply to stomp Kansas' face to the ground.
And now, after Kansas turned the tide in the last seven or eight minutes of the game and defended Ding Moan, who had previously killed all sides, Kansas fans seemed to see the goddess of victory waving at them. The situation on the field has changed, and Kansas, who had been like a lamb to be slaughtered, turned into a vicious dog and bared its fangs at the Tigers.
With the Kansas players who won both offensive and defensive ends of the last round, morale was boosted at this moment, and their counterattack left the Tigers at a loss. Of course, the Tigers' 2-3 defense is there, and Kansas won't set foot in the paint with ten dares. Although the interior defense is solid, the Tigers' outside gate is cracked.
The person who chiseled this crack turned out to be the one who was previously beaten by Ding Moan and Ross in a mixed double, Mario. Chanmos!
I don't know if it was Mario in the last round. Chanmos hit a three-pointer against Rose's defense, and with confidence, he still felt it. With the ball just one step away from the three-point line, Mario. Chanmos shot confidently. Although Rose has been defending Mario according to the 2-3 combination set up by Calipari. Money Moss, and on the turn Mario. A three-pointer from Chanmos has already made him wary of keeping an eye on Mario. Money's three-point shooting.
Just Mario. Another surprise three-point shot from Moneymos, even if Rose was on guard, could not do anything about this long-range shot. It's always impossible, Mario. Chanmos would stop on his own and wait until he was out of the three-point line before he went to shoot. Therefore, Mario, who was not disturbed at all. Chanmos threw the ball with ease.
Swish!
Mario. Chanmos scored another three points!
Consecutive let Mario. Chanmos scored six points, and Calipari on the sidelines was furious. yelled at Ross and shouted a timeout by the way. Calipari had to call a timeout, and if Kansas were allowed to throw like that again, the Tigers would be finished sooner or later.
Previously, the main team of the Tigers returned to the court and stretched the score to an eleven-point advantage. With two three-pointers from Chanmos, combined with Kansas' 2-3 scoreless defense, the Tigers now have a five-point lead. That's a score that two three-pointers can erase and overtake.
When Calippari was in a hurry at the moment, the ESPN commentary bench on the sidelines also exchanged views on the reversal of the situation in the last seven or eight minutes on the field.
"Kansas' 2-3 defense is very effective! And now Mario. Moneymos also played to the strength of his own Kansas core player, hitting two consecutive three-pointers to force the Tigers to call a timeout. As long as Kansas continues to play like this, they will soon be able to overtake the Tigers. ”
It's hard for ESPN hosts to imagine that the Tigers' unstoppable offense would fall on their own tactics against others in the past. The 2-3 joint defense, the tactics that the Tigers relied on, in the end, became a sword in the hands of Kansas that could kill the Tigers at any time, in his opinion, it was very mocking.
Jordan frowned, it was obvious that the predicament that the Tigers were facing now was also a headache for the old rascal. If the Tigers had even one more half-baked pitcher like Douglas, Kansas would not have been able to pull off such a comeback. So, Jordan unceremoniously retorted: "The Tigers' current defensive problems are not too big. Mario. The two goals of Chanmos are out of individual ability, not Kansas' overall offense, so the most important thing for the Tigers now is to score! ”
As for Mario. Chanmos hit two three-pointers, and Jordan didn't feel much of a threat to the Tigers. As long as the Tigers can continue to score, Mario. Although Simos shot well, unless he was so good that he shot from outside the three-point line every time and really shot the Tigers to death, then Jordan was willing to give him the name of the god of basketball and let Mario shoot to death. Chanmos was a god in a battle.
But is it possible? No one can hit every shot, not even the god of basketball, let alone Mario, who is just an NCAA player. Chanmos.
Jordan's thoughts are the same as Calipari at this moment, Calypari doesn't really care how many points Kansas scores, but someone has to take the blame for the six points he lost just now, so defend Mario. Rose of Chammos became the best back-stabber, and the flying pot that fell from the sky smashed Rose's eyes with gold stars, and he burst into tears: Why is it always me who is injured?!
However, this timeout is not for discussing who will take the blame, and the biggest problem for the Tigers today is how to crack the Kansas 2-3 defense. Calipari couldn't make a pitcher, so he had to rely on the team's two shots, which were much better than the rest of the team, Ding Moan and Douglas.
Calipari rearranged his blocking and covering tactics, trying to make a little space for Ding Moan and Douglas in the limited space. And when the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, the players of both teams returned to the field, Ding Mo'an was pulled by Kalipari and told on the side: "Ding, the cover and dismantling on the field now can only help you slow down the people who are guarding you behind you, so I hope you overcome those interferences!" ”
"Hmm!" Ding Mo'an nodded in response, the Tigers are now stepping on heaven with one foot and hell with the other. At the moment of the decisive battle, Kansas played such a ferocious counterattack, if the Tigers could not continue to hold their current lead, it was likely that Kansas would take advantage of the situation and the two would exchange places.
The Tigers, who were the leaders for most of the game, became a laggard in an instant, and no one could bear such a psychological gap. It can be said that the victory or defeat of the next game will depend on the next three or four minutes of confrontation, which will determine the outcome of the game.
After the Tigers served, Rose wanted to continue to play a wave of fast breaks in the same way as before, but Kansas had clearly learned to behave. They have suffered a loss, and they are directly waiting for them in the half. The 2-3 joint defense, a big killer that has made Ding Mo'an suffer, has now become the place where Kansas depends.
Kansas is such a chicken thief, and Ross has no choice. Now that Kansas is hoarding so many people in its heart, Ross won't send them to the hat. So after the Tigers fell down to attack the position, Ding Mo'an took the lead and started to run. After Calipari's specially strengthened pick-and-roll and cover tactics during the timeout, the Tigers except Rose, who held the ball on the outside, and Douglas, who was ready to fire outside the three-point line, the rest of their teammates made one block or cover after another for Ding Mo'an.
