A new month, a new day, everyone's money must be great~
Memphis and Connecticut's game continues, Rose's performance is still eye-catching, and Tabitt also performed well, scoring 16 points in the first quarter alone.
"Sun, the reason I asked you to start is not to let you score assists. You have to score points. Only when you provide firepower can you relieve Ross' pressure. We cannot always rely on him to fight alone and you harvest the fruits." Kalipari said earnestly, Sun Yang nodded, he understood a little. He played too conservatively in the first quarter. Currently, he only scored 5 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds. The main reason is that he took too few shots.
On Connecticut, Jim Kahon was also heartbroken and suppressed his angrily and said in a low voice: "The advantage of the inside line, we don't rely on this, we can kill them even if we shoot over their heads. And you can also play in the inside line to cooperate, think about it yourself!"
Drop, the referee blew the whistle, and the second quarter began. Sun Yang controlled the ball and pushed forward, came to the frontcourt and passed it to the power forward of the Niujiao District, Sean Taggart, and then started running. He used a pick-and-roll from Joey Dorsey to reach the right wing forty-five degrees, and then Sean's pass also arrived. Sun Yang seized the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot, brush, and a beautiful three-pointer.
"Beautiful." Ross whispered by Sun Yang when he returned to defense, then patted his butt as a reward. Although he often had a poker face, Ross was really good. It can be seen from his relationship over the past few months that he did not have the so-called big-name temper. As long as he could win, he would be happy to make some personal sacrifices.
Kang Da also started to play tactics, as if the previous solo performance had never happened. Tabitt pretended to be a jump shot and then stuffed the ball to Adrian on the left side of the inside line, who easily scored 2 points against an empty basket.
Memphis' next attack was Sun Yang, but this time it was an empty cut. He and Ross entered the inside from the left and right at the same time. Hasim Bailey passed to anyone as the central axis, and the pressure from the defender was transferred to Ross. After Sun Yang received the ball, he dodged in the air and put the ball into the ring. This goal also allowed Sun Yang to score in double points and overtake the score.
At the end of the first half, Memphis still led by 3 points with 45:42, and this small advantage only exists psychologically.
The coaches of both sides in the locker room are setting tactics. Because of the key to this game, no one wants to lose. They all play as the finals, and there is no way to make any mistakes.
After the second half, Sun Yang played for 3 minutes and replaced him. Anderson was the substitute. When the two met, they stretched out their friendly hands and patted them. Sun Yang took a few sips of drinks and wiped the sweat from his head before leaning back to rest. After playing for so long today, the physical energy was not consumed much, mainly because of his brain fatigue. The pressure of playing as a starting player was much greater than that of a substitute.
"Don't be discouraged, your performance today is already very good. Every player has been from the rookie period. Look at it carefully. It depends on yourself how much you can learn." Substitute Pierre Niles patted Sun Yang's shoulder and said. He is a marginal figure in the team and he never expects to enter the professional arena in the future. Basketball is only a part of his life, not all. Everyone has his own pursuit and has no choice but to force it.
"Thank you." Sun Yang smiled at him and continued to watch the game.
In the middle of the third quarter, Kang Da played a 8:0 small ** and overtook the score by 5 points in one fell swoop. Calipari quickly called for a timeout and arranged it. The team relied more and more on Ross, and the score difference was quickly widened as his shooting percentage decreased.
"Sun, you will come on the court later, so let Ross take a break. I don't expect you to do more, just stick to the score. It's still early now, and it's far from the time to decide the winner. Don't just play steadily. Remember, transfer the ball quickly, break more and shoot more." The 20-second short pause is really short, and Calipari tells a long story short.
When Sun Yang took the ball again, he felt a little different. This is probably the so-called overall view. He just saw it clearly off the court, but often he forgot everything when he was hot.
With his left hand protecting the ball, Sun Yang suddenly raised his center of gravity and squeezed away Walker and rushed to the inside, attracting a defender to pass the ball immediately. After Sun Yang was in a hurry to pass the ball. The situation on the court changed so much. He could have made a strong breakthrough just now, but at that moment, Sun Yang chose to pass the ball. There were people missing if there was a backup defense. This is a very simple truth.
The basketball was transferred to Anderson on the outside. He was about to make a three-pointer, but Stanley Robinson rushed over. Anderson was not afraid of passing it to Joey Dorsey in the right corner, and the latter was blocked again. Seeing that the center Hassim had no one running and passed it directly into the inside, Hassim easily dunked with both hands after receiving the ball. The Memphis used the pass to tear Kang Da's defense apart. It has to be said that their execution ability is really strong. Calipari outside the court waved his punch fiercely when he saw this, and seemed extremely excited.
Kang Da still controls the situation on the court with the stable performance of the inside double Tabit and Adrian. Sun Yang has been the team's brain since he came on the court. This feeling is so novel and wonderful. It is not his strength to point fingers, but he is adapting to this.
———————————————
After the fourth quarter, Ross played again. After resting for most of the quarter, he was very powerful. He ended with dunks on two consecutive attacks. Sun Yang could only admire him when he saw this scene. It doesn’t matter if he performed in an empty basket. It doesn’t matter if he dunks during the game. It’s better not to play when someone dunks. Then he was slapped on the ground and was embarrassed and injured. He did not have Xiao Ai’s bounce and explosive power, and dared to dunk Ewing.
As time goes by, the game gradually becomes hotter, Ross is becoming more and more excited, as many people say he is born for the stadium.
He tied the score with a 2+1 layup to defend against the opponent's attack. Later, he went to the frontcourt and took a step back and jumped to score 2 points from the outside. After scoring the goal, he jumped up excitedly and bumped back to back with Joey. He roared and vented his resentment before turning back to defense. His touch was not very good in this game. He made only 10 of 19 shots, plus 4 of 6 free throws on the free throw line. He has scored 24 points and completed the established task. But he has never been a person who is easily satisfied. Like Kobe, he is also paranoid. Perhaps he can only do it when he really invests in something.
