Chapter 67 Tang Tian's Suggestions

This is the role of Oriarch at Concordia.

It seems that he is not very strong against each other, and he only gets about 10 points and 10 rebounds per game, but without him, there are few finishing points at the basket on the offensive end, and the loss of control of rebound protection on the defensive end is a big problem.

After the first half of the game, Concordia led San Diego State University 36-33. Although it was still ahead, after losing too many defensive rebounds, the situation was completely different from the opening game.

Because of his short height and poor consciousness, Forsyth was rushed for four or five offensive rebounds by Leonard alone.

During the 15-minute break at halftime, both teams returned to the locker room for a rest.

At this time, in a corner of the stand, a few people were obviously taller than the people beside them.

They're Arizona players, and that's where they'll be making their championship debut tomorrow night.

The University of Arizona is also a team in the Western Division, and it is strong, but because it is a wild card team, they were finally selected by the organizing committee as the No. 5 seed in the division.

That is to say, if it goes well, they will meet the winner between UConn and San Diego State in the next round of 32-16 games.

"Connecticut's performance is worse than expected." Derek Williams, the core of the University of Arizona, said in the stands.

"Yes, their inside line is too weak, that Tang is not as good as the legendary defense, at least it looks a lot worse than the opposite Leonard." Solomon Hill nodded in agreement, he is the University of Arizona The main small forward.

"If we're playing San Diego State, that Leonard is a real problem." Williams nodded.

Although Walker's strength is not the strongest in this class of point guards, he is also a top ten or even a top five player. Leonard can guard him like this. This strength is really unexpected. If he is right. It's really hard to deal with.

"And that Wright, dirty enough." Hill did not forget to complain, if it wasn't for Wright, the first half of the game would have been spent.

"Let's just pray that Connecticut makes some adjustments in the second half so we can play them easier next round," Williams said with a smile.

Leonard thought it was a trouble, but Tang Tian's words, he was confident that he could handle it.

"Can they find a way to deal with Wright?" Hill said at this time, turning his head to look at the player tunnel on the side of Concordia.

...

"We have to control the defensive rebound, understand? You've been playing for so long, don't you know that to control the rebound is to control the game?!"

In the locker room of Kangda, Kahun, who has always been gentle, was scolding the players loudly. He was a little angry. Originally, Kangda had a dream start, but Oriaqi immediately ruined the great situation.

It was only halftime that San Diego State University was chased by only 3 points left, and it was really unknown who would win and who would lose in the second half.

If one is not careful, they will be like Georgetown University, capsized in the gutter, and go home early.

At this time, Oriarch lowered his head in the corner and dared not speak. He was not an impulsive player, but Wright made too many small movements, and his emotions were completely out of his control.

"Stuck! Rebounding isn't just about jumping up and grabbing the rebound, stuck, understand?" Kahon continued to educate the players.

Cajon's decibels are big, but it's more of a vent.

Kangda's fighting spirit was no problem in the first half. Losing offensive rebounds was more suppressed by talent.

It's no problem for Tang Tian to defend Leonard alone outside the penalty area, but in the penalty area, Leonard has a longer arm span and a bigger palm, so it is difficult for him to gain an advantage.

Not to mention Forsyth, he usually doesn't play much time, and when he encounters a dirty player like Wright, he seems very at a loss on the court.

After the training, Kahun's mood eased a little, and he then called Tang Tian out of the locker room.

"I want you to play five, what do you think?" Kahon asked.

Now on the inside of the team, Oriarch has been sent off and can't play anymore, Phorcis is embarrassed, and Orland is tall enough, but the effect of playing on the 5th position is not as good as Phorsis, the only thing that can make him trust is Only Tang Tian.

It's just that Tang Tian's physique is quite limited to play the fourth position, and the fifth position is completely difficult to handle, which is why he pulled Tang Tian out to speak alone.

"Coach, I can't play No. 5 in this game." Tang Tian replied.

He only played the 5th position in the regular season against St. John's University, but the combination of Wright and Leonard in the interior is obviously stronger than the combination of Johnson and Diesel, especially the rush to the rebound. In one aspect, the effect of his playing on the 5th position is estimated to be not much different from that of Forsis.

Kahon hesitated to speak, and finally sighed helplessly. If it was a series, he was absolutely sure to win San Diego State University, but in a game, Oriarch couldn’t play, and the impact on the situation was really too great. .

"I suggest trying Art." Tang Tian continued.

"Art? Art Majuk?" Kahon asked.

Tang Tian nodded.

Majuk is the team's third backup insider, and he is a player without a scholarship, because he has Forsyth and Orland in front, and he plays very little time even in the regular season.

"He can't." Kahon shook his head directly.

This Majuk is Kuaipuyu, no, to be precise, it should be a rock. It is useless except for bouncing well, and the progress is very slow. After playing for a season, it is still the same.

"He's good at rebounding." Tang Tian said.

Mazuk's rebounding and Kahun's previous scolding in the locker room were completely two extremes. He didn't get stuck at all, he just relied on bouncing to grab hard.

This kind of player is difficult to play in the NBA, but it is still very good in the NCAA, especially Wright, who he has to play against, is completely a floor flow.

Kahon hesitated after hearing this.

"And he has a good temper." Tang Tian continued.

Good temper is definitely not an advantage in playing basketball. Basketball is a sport that advocates confrontation. If you have a good temper, people will only think that you are easy to bully and grab you to play.

But at this time, a good temper may really be an advantage.

Because of his good temper, it will be difficult for Wright to use the tricks of the first half.

"Go back to rest first, and call Art out."

Tang Tian nodded when he heard what Kahun said, and it seemed that Kahun accepted his suggestion.

Mazuk was surprised when Tang Tian called his name, but he trotted out for a while.

"Alex, don't lower your head here, we'll be pointing at you next game." Tang Tian didn't care about the affairs outside the locker room, but pulled Auriarch to speak.

Coming back in the second half, Concordia made adjustments in the starting lineup, but they were not in the center position of Forsyth, but Art Majuk, who never played in the first half and rarely even played in the regular season. , a 2 meters 08, but only 102 kilograms of thin inside.

"This is Connecticut's adjustment?" In the stands, Hill was stunned when he saw the substitution.

"It seems that our next game is against San Diego State University. The strength of the Big East is really bad this year." Williams said with a wry smile, this is not the result he wanted.
