"We must not let our guard down in the second half, we should know the traditions of Duke University, and they will never give up. And they're going to have a crazy comeback in the second half, so I hope you're mentally prepared. Also, we did a good job defending in the first half, but we did a poor job offensively, and if you look at our shooting percentage, it's just 35.6 percent. We want to win, it's not realistic. Therefore, I ask everyone to be decisive in the second half, to shoot when there is an opportunity, not to be afraid of not being able to score, and to have confidence. "A half-time quote from Haywood told his players that the second half was going to be tougher.

Sun Xiaotian, as usual, doesn't like to talk much during the intermission, just thinks silently by himself, and he has always thought that this method is very beneficial to the improvement of his state.

For the team to win, he had to find his groove in time in the second half. He shot 4-of-8 in the first half and looked like he didn't have the back-up of his team. However, there was not a single free throw in the half, which was abnormal, and it would be difficult for Duke to cause damage. Therefore, in the second half, strengthening the breakthrough became the most crucial.

Yale wasn't idle at halftime, and so was Duke, of course. Coach K was really angry at the break, and he thought that his team's performance in the first half was unconvincing, it was simply terrible.

"That's right! They're just a new team in the divisional finals, but if you think you can beat them easily, you're very wrong. Look at them, they're never afraid of physical contact, and look at our rebounds! We have an absolute inside advantage, but they are grabbing more rebounds than we are, what is the reason for that? Is it because we are not as good as others? No, it's because you're too underestimating the enemy, don't you think it's easy to take them down! Don't forget, they beat the University of Connecticut. They have no shortage of excellent scorers, and their Sun is widely regarded as an all-around talent, plus he has a bunch of ruthless characters around him. Imagine! What are we going to do to defeat them easily? "Everyone knows Lao K's temper, and no one at the scene dares to speak.

……

Old K's anger did not go gray, and the coach's vigilance, Duke's players showed a completely different state from the first half as soon as they came on the court.

As soon as he came up, with the inside and outside cooperation of Rivers and Mason, Duke actually played a 9-0 attack wave. In contrast, Yale University did not recover from the offensive form of the first half in time, and was completely unprepared for Duke's sudden attack.

And Sun Xiaotian, who decided to strengthen the breakthrough in the second half, found that the other party seemed to know what he was thinking, and frequently fell into the encirclement of the other party. But Sun Xiaotian, who did not believe in evil, began to be able to fight with his opponents, which made the number of mistakes at Yale University skyrocket......

"Sun! I know what you think, but when you break through, you must first mention that your teammates create opportunities on the outside, and once your teammates find their touch, the opponent will not shrink the defense, and at that time, your chance will come. This is what Heywood said to Sun Xiaotian when he called a timeout again.

The coach's reminder made Sun Xiaotian's mood slowly calm down. The first thing he had to do was to break the scoring drought in the second half. Because 4 minutes have passed, Yale still has a score.

Sun Xiaotian decisively demanded, he first singled Quinn on the diagonal side. Cook. At this point, Kevin suddenly shook off the defender and cut in from the middle line. Sun Xiaotian held the ball in one hand and made a pass. When Cook saw it, he called "not good", and hurriedly turned his head and reached out to interfere with Kevin, but he was fooled.

Sun Xiaotian didn't actually pass the ball, it was just a feint. Right here at Quinn. Cook's instant run, Sun Xiaotian suddenly wanted to turn around on the bottom line, licked the basket lightly, and put the ball in. After the ball was scored, Quinn. Cook doesn't know what's going on yet?

Finally breaking the scoring drought, Yale University was relieved. Truly! Sometimes it's so evil on the basketball court, sometimes you can't score a goal in half a day, but once you score the ball, the score comes in a string.

In the next period of time, with Sun Xiaotian's tandem, Yale University actually moved the score back, and even the on-site commentary felt incredible, and felt that they really had the characteristics of Xiaoqiang.

47－53！

The score between the two sides was reduced to 6 points, and Sun Xiaotian still implemented the same internal and external tactics. Once again, he made his way into Duke's inside box through a pick-and-roll with Gulot. He's extremely fast, like a speeding sports car, even if you have more people inside, I'm still brave to move forward.

I saw that Sun Xiaotian hit the defender on the inside line solidly, only to hit the person on his back, Sun Xiaotian also fell to the ground solidly, and Duke's two defenders also fell to the ground in pain. But just when Sun Xiaotian's body was out of balance, he even found a chance to make a shot, only to see the ball toss a few times on the basket and went in. At this time, the whistle also sounded!

"Yay! Andone!!!” The Yale team member next to him waved a towel and shouted loudly.

"No. 35, offensive foul!"

The referee actually awarded Sun Xiaotian an offensive foul.

"What!"

At this time, the Yale players and coaches were not happy! And at this time, Sun Xiaotian also sat on the ground in a daze and didn't get up, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

"This is obviously a 2+1, don't you have long eyes?" An emotional Haywood yelled at the referee.

"Toot!"

I saw the referee give a "T" gesture to Coach Heywood.

"Yay!!"

Seeing this scene, bursts of cheers broke out at the scene.

The assistant coach hurriedly pulled Haywood back and called a timeout to calm him and the team.

Seeing such a scene, the on-site commentators believed that Yale University was defeated, although the score gap between the two teams was not large. However, for such a new team, the players and coaches are inexperienced on the field, and it is clear that Yale University is clearly hitting a wall in the face of the old and spicy Coach K. How to quickly adjust the state has become the most urgent need for Yale University.

The trouble is far more than that, Sun Xiaotian has accumulated 4 fouls since receiving this foul, and one more time, he will be sent off. But with 7 minutes left, Heywood didn't dare to take risks, so he had to let Sun Xiaotian rest first. Whether you can keep the score during this time depends on the will of God.

With all the worries, Yale is back on the field. Sun Xiaotian's downfall, the happiest thing is Lao K, he decisively replaced Rivers, who had been resting before, to strengthen the offense.

Old K's substitution was immediate, and Rivers came up with a breakthrough throw and scored two points. Just when everyone thought that the score was going to be opened, Kevin, who had been in the norm before. Marshall actually stepped forward.

In the next attack, he used his speed to burst into the opponent's interior line, and with a pull rod, he scored the ball.

In the next defense, there was an early pack, which caused Mason's mistakes. Kevin, who successfully broke the ball, was like a bolt of lightning and went straight to the opponent's basket. Rivers, who was behind him, couldn't catch up with him and watched him make a layup.

Although in the next step, Duke used his interior height to grab offensive rebounds to score the ball.

However, Kevin, who seemed to have found his touch, just dribbled the ball across the half court, but Gulot stepped forward to cover for a second, and Kevin took a step towards the dribble and opened his hand to shoot.

"Huh!"

The ball did go in, and it was a three-pointer.

After scoring the goal, I saw the Yale players on the bench standing up one after another, but looking at Kevin here, there was no expression on his face except for fortitude.

And that's not all, after successfully fending off Duke's next wave of attacks. Yale University launched a fast attack, but Duke's return defense was also very fast, and Yale University saw that it had no chance, so it had to slow down and fight positional warfare.

However, as soon as his teammate handed the ball to Kevin, Kevin turned into nothing, and suddenly a cross went towards Rivers, who was defending him. Rivers was unwilling and hurriedly chased after him, but Kevin suddenly smashed the ball with his right hand and came to an emergency stop, Rivers was shaken out solidly, his body was crooked, and he almost didn't fall to the ground. Kevin took advantage of the trend and made a successful shot.

"Whew!"

When the fans at the scene saw this scene, they sighed one after another. I didn't expect that the ace in my team would be humiliated.

And the team members of Yale University were even more cheerful and excited, and even Sun Xiaotian, who was in a depressed mood, couldn't help but cheer in his heart.

After Kevin played in Sun Xiaotian, he scored 9 points alone, and the score of the two teams was rewritten to 56-55, and Yale University actually overtook the score, and it was the first time in the game.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lao K hurriedly called a timeout. Like a hero, Kevin walked to the bench.
