"Dengdeng!"
"Defense!"
"Dengdeng!"
"Defense!"
This time the attack drove the atmosphere of the scene, and the fans also started to cheer for the home team driven by the DJ.
Brooks faced Tang Tian with the ball in the frontcourt.
Kangda didn't double-team and let Tang Tian defend one-on-one.
The eyes of the fans are full of expectations.
Now Brooks feels hot to the touch, it depends on whether Tang Tian can turn into a refrigerator to cool him down like he did with Thompson before.
Seeing that UConn did not assist in defense, Brooks was not in a hurry to attack.
"I know they all expect you to guard me." Holding the ball and maintaining a three-threat, Brooks didn't start his attack, but his mouth started first.
Tang Tian ignored him.
"But they were all wrong. Last time I didn't play well in the first half, this time it won't happen."
After Brooks finished speaking, he directly dribbled the ball past Tang Tian and rushed in.
His speed is very fast, and he can compete with Walker.
After the team has unlimited shooting rights this season, his offensive strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
But he was forced to stop within two sudden steps, because Tang Tian was as fast as him!
In his surprised eyes, Tang Tian stretched out his hand to completely block his way!
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Familiar feeling, the familiar Tang Tian is here!
The improvement of physical fitness is definitely not just about endurance. Just like what was reflected in the suicide turn-back run, Tang Tian's speed, agility and explosive power have all been significantly improved.
If he was still the same as before, he probably wouldn't be able to keep up with Brooks' current speed, but he can do it now!
Brooks is getting stronger, and he is getting stronger!
Chapter 25 Real Kobe Possession (1/3!)
Brooks was astonished as he was, the attack in his hands didn't stop, he turned around and shot backwards, still very Kobe's demeanor.
Interference from Tang Tian jumping up.
He knew that after stopping the ball, Brooks had no choice but to pass the ball, so it was basically the first interference.
And he was a few centimeters taller than Brooks, which completely blocked his shooting angle.
"boom!"
Brooks raised his shot point, but the arc of the ball also changed accordingly. After the shot, the ball hit the front of the basket and popped out.
Oriachi protected the defensive rebound.
Brooks' shot missed under Tang Tian's defense!
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Under normal circumstances, only a wonderful goal can make the audience have such a big reaction, and only Tang Tian can achieve this effect in defense!
The fans at the scene even had to thank Calhoun. You have to know that there is no feeling without comparison. Previously, Brooks got what he wanted under the defense of other players. Now it seems that he is paving the way for Tang Tian's appearance!
"Damn it!" Brooks couldn't help cursing after striking the iron.
He was so full of words earlier, he didn't expect to be guarded by Tang Tian in the end.
For UConn's offense, Tang Tian continued to pick and roll for Walker. This time, the forward of Providence College directly chose to trap Walker inside.
Walker was already prepared and returned the ball to Tang Tian on the outside line.
Tang Tian aimed at the frame.
On the weak side, Brooks rushed to help defend after seeing it, but he was still slow.
Tang Tian shot a quick three-pointer like a textbook, facing Brooks who had just jumped up.
"Shh!"
The three-pointer was scored in response, and Brooks' jumping figure became the best background.
The scene cheered again.
Many fans stood up directly from their seats excitedly.
Tang Tian came up with an eye-catching performance in every attack and defense. This is not only a refrigerator, but also a microwave oven!
Brooks pumped his fist, acting a little mad.
Providence College's offense hit the frontcourt, and Brooks directly asked for the ball with his back in the high post.
This is on par with Tang Tian.
Calhoun's expression relaxed after seeing this scene.
As he said before the game, Brooks' offense was great, but his offensive options were poor.
If you keep fighting one-on-one like this, as long as you can defend it, Providence College's running and bombing tactics will be equivalent to abolishing more than half of it.
Hitting with his back, he suddenly turned around and broke through, and then leaned back after a sudden stop.
Brooks' offense was completed in one go, and his technical moves were also in place, which was obviously much stronger than Butler before.
However, Tang Tian didn't hold back at this time, he was put under defensive pressure throughout the whole process, and his save at the last moment was just right.
Brooks was very uncomfortable when he shot.
"boom!"
The ball continued to bounce out of the basket.
Tang Tian blocked Brooks twice in a row!
Kobe said in the NBA that the best player to defend against him was Tony Allen. In the 10 Finals, he was even defended by Allen with a shooting percentage of less than [-]%. The latter's defensive skills are evident.
After Tang Tian's physical fitness improved, he basically had [-]% to [-]% of Allen's physical fitness, and he could also display [-]% to [-]% of his skills.
Although this strength is not enough to defend the real Kobe, it is more than enough to face the "little Kobe", whose current strength is obviously far from Kobe.
Too bad Brooks didn't know!
Now he really has the intention of being possessed by Kobe, and he insists on doing it on top of Tang Tian's head!
In UConn's offense, Walker double-teamed and gave the ball to Lamb. Brooks lost his position defensively, and Lamb hit the basket and scored a layup.
After Tang Tian came up, Kangda played a 5-0 offensive, directly tying the score!
Calhoun nodded with satisfaction after seeing it, and then retreated to the bench to sit down with confidence.
He was already thinking about bringing Tang Tian to the starting lineup.
In Providence College's offense, Brooks began to run around the pick-and-roll without the ball.
But Tang Tian clung to him like a brown candy.
You must know that a pick-and-roll team like Washington State University can't stop Tang Tian, let alone a non-professional team like Providence College.
After receiving the ball, Brooks didn't get rid of Tang Tian, turned around and forced a shot.
Tang Tian almost covered it directly.
"boom!"
Brooks hits three irons!
4 for 4, directly turned into 7 for 4!
There were constant cheers at the scene, they really liked Tang Tian so much!
At this time, Oli also retreated to the bench and sat down with confidence.
The overall strength of Providence College is stronger than that of Washington State University, but the two teams play very similar. The offensive end is played around stars, and even Providence College relies on Brooks. More than Washington State's reliance on Thompson.
Brooks is also very powerful, and he has basically never turned off in the previous games.
But he is not Kobe after all, and it is impossible for Kobe to achieve 40+ or even 50+ consecutive performances in the NBA. Now that he is choked by Tang Tian, Providence College's offense is basically abolished.
Walker's layup in the front court caused a foul, because Providence College had accumulated 7 fouls, and he got a free throw opportunity.
The NCAA free throws are different from the NBA. When the number of fouls in a half is 7~9, although there are two free throws, but the 1+1 rule, if you miss the first free throw, you can directly grab the rebound. A second free throw is only possible if the penalty is scored.
Walker missed the first free throw, but Oriachi took advantage of his height and made a direct tip-up.
Kangda's offensive continued unabated, leading the score 11-9!
"Defense! Defense!"
The continuous waves of attack made the fans on the scene excited. At this time, without the DJ belt, they all started to cheer for the home team in unison.
Brooks asked for the ball in the frontcourt, and Providence College's point guard really gave it.
But that's how they play. If Brooks can't open, Providence College's offense won't open.
Brooks held the ball and continued to single out Tang Tian.
Continuously changing direction, catching the crotch, the ball seemed to stick to his hand at this moment.
You could see he was trying his best.
Suddenly one step accelerated and dashed towards the basket.
Tang Tian concentrated on defending, not giving Brooks a chance to make a move.
After Brooks took a step inside the free throw line, he took a big jump directly to the basket, and then jumped up the pull bar for a layup.
This ball is extremely difficult. Few people in the NCAA can do it by using all the techniques of changing directions, breakthroughs, jumping steps, and pulling the bar.
But Tang Tian didn't jump easily, he kept looking at Brooks' shoulder until he was behind the latter's backhand railing, and then he suddenly jumped up to block the shot.
The time was neither too fast nor too slow, just to catch the moment when Brooks shot.
"boom!"
With a big cap, Brooks' shot was slapped out of the field!
Chapter 26 Troubleshooting (2/3!)
The fans at the scene were stunned.
Brooks' offense was beautiful, but Tang Tian's defense was even better.
A big hat, stupefied them all!
After Tang Tian blocked the cap, he took a cold look at Brooks.
If you provoke him, it's not that he won't respond, but he is looking for an opportunity, and now is the best opportunity!
After seeing Tang Tian's reaction, the crowd burst into cheers instantly.
Tang Tian is really tough!
This block fully ignited the starting point of the scene, and the cheers of the defense were overwhelming.
Providence College's sideline ball was sent, UConn's defensive strength increased, and the point guard didn't even have a chance to give the ball to Brooks.
In the end, Providence College was directly defended against a 35-second offensive violation!
They have scored four consecutive offenses without scoring!
Tang Tian lived up to everyone's expectations, he also held down Brooks as he had held down Thompson before, and Kangda also completely took the initiative on the field.
