Chapter 31 "Assistant Coach"
4 to 2, Georgetown University once again took the lead.
Kahun got up and walked to the sideline at this time, his expression was not relaxed.
Originally, he hoped to use Tang Tian's speed advantage to make up for defense. Tang Tian also played very smart, but because of the absolute gap with Monroe, he did not achieve the expected effect.
Concord University's offense, Walker's mid-range jumper still failed to score after the breakthrough, and Monroe collected the defensive rebound again.
Monroe is too deterrent in the restricted area, which is forcing Kangda to dare not break through, so he can only concentrate more offenses at medium and long distances.
But catching up with Walker didn't feel good.
Looking back, Monroe fell directly to the low post, received a pass from his teammates and hit Oriarch on his back.
The rebounding and shooting after consecutive turns, Oriarch suffered too much in confrontation, and the interference was very limited.
The ball hit the board and entered the frame, and Georgetown University led 6-2.
The score didn't increase very fast, but because of Monroe's existence, the score gap was still widened a little bit.
It's like a grinder, it doesn't have a sharp edge, but it can smooth things out little by little.
About ten minutes into the first half, Georgetown University led the University of Concord 17-9 by 8 points.
There are not many points, and the difference is not big, but it just can't catch up.
From the beginning, Georgetown University was overwhelmed by Kang Da.
Kang yelled for a timeout, and Kahun held the tactical board and didn't speak for a while.
He prepared a lot before the game, including Tang Tian playing the starting No. 4 position, including 2-1-2 assist defense, but in the face of the absolute strength gap in the interior, none of these things worked.
"Old man, why don't you double-team Monroe?" Ollie suggested when he saw that Kahon didn't speak.
"Monroe can pass the ball." Cahon shook his head.
If it is just a strong insider, he has a hundred ways to deal with it, but Monroe and Georgetown seniors, like Ewing and Mourning, are all-round centers who can attack and pass. If you double-team him, then the whole Georgetown's offense was completely dead.
The best way to defend Monroe is to have someone who can stand it, but unfortunately there is no Concordia right now.
Ollie's opinion was refuted, and Kahon didn't speak again, and the suspension of Kangda was going to be such a waste.
"We can play three-pointers." Tang Tian said at this time.
His words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Coaches are discussing tactics, players generally can't interject, and it is usually the core of a team like Walker to intervene.
However, most of the eyes looking at Tang Tian at this time were not blame, but doubts.
In the past, whether it is against Marquette University or Washington State University, Tang Tian has more or less shown his talent in coaching.
"Are you saying you want to play new tactics?" Kahon understood what Tang Tian meant.
Although he didn't say anything before, he actually thought about it, but because he was not yet skilled in the new tactics, it was not a small risk to put it on.
Tang Tian nodded. Monroe was only strong on the inside. He couldn't guard against the three-point line. When Monroe dominated the penalty area, playing three-pointers was the best choice.
It's just that the only stable three-pointer at Kangda now is Tang Tian. Walker and Lamb are both unstable, so they can only play new tactics.
"But this still can't solve the problem of defense." Ollie reminded.
"Three points are always one point more than two points, right?" Tang Tian said with a smile.
Kahun nodded after listening. In this situation, not only is it just a chronic death, but try it. If the outside three-point shot can be opened, Kangda still has a chance to regain the initiative.
After the suspension, neither team made any lineup adjustments.
"It seems that Kahon has nothing to do with Monroe." The commentator couldn't help but said after seeing that Kangda didn't make any substitution adjustments.
"It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice." The guest commentator sighed with emotion.
The situation was unfavorable, and the live DJ also began to drive the audience to cheer for the home team.
"Dengdeng!"
"Come on! Connecticut!"
"Dengdeng!"
"Come on! Connecticut!"
The cheers of the audience are still useful, and it can be clearly felt that the fighting spirit of the University of Concord players on the field has improved a lot.
Tang Tian gave Walker a pick-and-roll in the frontcourt, and Walker faced the opposing power forward after removing the ball.
Georgetown University did not help defend and let Walker break through. They have absolute confidence in Monroe.
But at this moment, Kangda launched the second wave of tactical offensive.
Tang Tian moved to the right bottom corner along the three-point line, and Lamb, who was originally high on the right wing, suddenly came over to do a pick-and-roll without the ball for him.
With this block, the player who switched to guard Tang Tian was blocked.
This tactic was launched very suddenly. Georgetown University was a little late to react, and the guard didn't keep up. When Tang Tian landed in the bottom corner, it was already empty.
Walker flicks the pass.
Tang Tian received the ball without hesitation, and threw it directly.
As soon as the ball was released, the attention of the audience was immediately drawn to the past.
This is the first time UConn has played a three-pointer since the opening game. Whether it can be scored is very important.
"Shh!"
A crisp sound echoed in the arena.
Tang Tian's open three-pointer shot directly into the net!
There was a sudden burst of cheers.
This three points is too thirst-quenching!
Kangda narrowed the difference to 5 points!
When Tang Tian returned to defense, he gave Walker a high-five.
The open three-point skills are dead, but people are alive. Although his off-the-ball movement is not as good as Thompson's, if he cooperates with tactics, he can still create opportunities.
You must know that even Novak, when he arrived at the Knicks, after coach Mike D'Antoni designed his tactics for him, he played the peak of his career.
This ability eats tactics, but with tactics, there will be kills.
Not to mention that he ran much faster than Novak.
At this time, Kahong couldn't help reaching out and clenching his fist. Tang Tian did not only do well in the training class, but he could also do it well on the field!
Georgetown University's offense, Kangda still does not double-team, let Monroe singles.
Monroe hit the basket and was directly blocked by Oriarch's foul.
Because the foul was between 7 and 9, Monroe was sent directly to the free throw line and executed a 1+1 free throw.
The place was full of distractions.
Monroe dribbled the ball and took a deep breath before shooting.
"boom!"
His season free throws are just over 60% and are inconsistent.
Oriarch grabbed the defensive rebound, and Georgetown University's offense was tantamount to nothing.
The fans at the scene burst into cheers.
After returning from the timeout, they saw the possibility of the team taking off.
Walker advanced to the front court with the ball, reached out and made a new tactical gesture.
Kahon laid out tactics during the timeout, and more than one, so as not to let the opponent figure out at once.
Lamb inserted from the bottom corner on the right, and Tang Tian and Auriarch gave him a double pick-and-roll.
After a while of entanglement under the basket, Lamb finally ran out.
However, just when Georgetown's defense was attracted by Lamb, Tang Tian suddenly turned and ran to the right wing at a forty-five-degree angle.
At this time, no one noticed him at all, and when he ran to the three-point line, it was a big open space!
Walker threw the pass for the first time.
Tang Tian catches the ball and then shoots.
Everyone, please read it slowly, this time I have made sufficient preparations. If it develops normally, this book will definitely be more than 3 million words.
In addition, the number of recommended votes happened to be in the early 1000s yesterday, so everyone should vote for more recommendation votes, so that I have a reason to ask if I have a third shift, right?
