Chapter 94 This is life
Regarding the match between the two teams, ESPN experts analyzed before the game and concluded that Tianyang wanted individual data, while Washington University wanted team victory, and the second half of the game would be reduced to garbage time.

Sure enough, in the 8 minutes, Tianyang scored 19 points, which is completely in line with the analysis results.

But with an 'I want it all' attitude, he unexpectedly led the team to limit the University of Washington's score to 6 points, completely slapping ESPN's experts.

During this period, the University of Washington was forced to call a timeout, but to no avail.

The Sequoia team is almost completely suppressed, with only one hidden danger: they cannot deal with Murray's singles.

Originally, the Sequoia team adopted the tactic of double-teaming Morrie and Chris, which was completely fine. Who knew that Morrie gave up the passing organization and played individual singles under a mistake, and Marcus was no match at all.

Hidden dangers must be resolved, just like the opponent's "large group" tactics to block Tianyang, otherwise it will cause endless harm.

When the TV commercial was suspended, Tianyang offered to defend against Mori alone.

Single defense is a risky decision. If it succeeds, the Sequoia team will take advantage of the situation and end the game; if it fails, the University of Washington will directly counterattack and tie the score.

Coach Johnny hesitated a little, but then recalled the original intention of recruiting Tianyang. If the Sequoia team wants to go further in March, they must build absolute confidence. best start.

After the timeout ended, Tianyang went straight to Murray. The fans probably guessed what would happen. In the MGM Grand Sports Tube, there was an instant burst of cheers from the audience.

Morrie took the ball from the baseline to the front court, and Tianyang followed him all the way.

Walking to the top of the arc, Mori slowed down to control the ball to find an opportunity, and Tianyang squatted down slightly to prepare to exert strength.

Murray began to dribble the ball across the hips and shook his shoulders from side to side, looking like he was about to break through.

Tianyang didn't care too much. He had specially practiced dribbling under the crotch before, and the frequency of Morrie's leg movement was far from keeping up with the shaking frequency of his shoulders. It was obviously a fake move to trick him into moving.

Seemingly realizing that it was impossible to deceive, Mori directly accelerated to the right side of the court, and Tianyang hurriedly moved sideways in small steps to follow.

The two arrived at the right wing position almost at the same time, and Morrie had no hope of breaking through.

Not reconciled, Mo Li immediately changed direction and walked to the left, but Tianyang quickly adjusted his figure and completely blocked the breakthrough route before Mori strode forward.

Morrie was in a hurry, directly received the ball and pulled it out, jumped into the air but calmed down, gave up the shot, and passed the ball to Andrew.

No way, Tianyang is the same height as Mori, both are 196cm, but Tianyang's arms are longer, and Mori did not have the advantage of body position, so he dared not take risks.

Andrew caught the ball, didn't dare to shoot, and passed it to Chris under the basket.

There was not much time to attack, Chris made some adjustments, then took off and shot a hook, but failed to hit.

Grant easily caught the rebound and passed it to point guard Marcus, and the Sequoias launched a counterattack.

Perhaps it was Tianyang's three-pointer, which scared the University of Washington. This time he just stood on the three-point line. In addition to Andrew, who was on the defense, Malik was watching him closely, and he formed a siege early.

When he received the pass and was ready to encircle, there was another Murray.

The University of Washington has chosen to empty out Tianyang's teammates, and desperately wants to stop his 3 points.

Except for Andrew, the other two are only one step away from Tianyang.

If Tianyang goes left, they go left; if they go right, they go right; if they go left, they continue to go left.

They only gave Tianyang one choice, they had to pass the ball!
But Tianyang didn't say it, he ran back and forth, just to hold back his strength, and beat the University of Washington to the ground.

The two sides entangled for a long time. When there were only 5 seconds left in the attack time, Tianyang pulled the ball and rushed to the inside. The trio of the University of Washington immediately double-teamed.

Unexpectedly, Tianyang rushed to the short corner on the left. When everyone thought he was laying up and fouled, he suddenly stepped back and retreated directly to the left sideline.

In order to grab time, Tianyang adopted a Curry-style quick shot.

2 points hit, 1 hit 3 successfully, the face of the University of Washington trio was at a loss.

Tried single defense, tried zone defense, tried double-team defense, they didn't know how to defend.

Coach Romar on the sidelines swallowed his saliva indiscriminately. He almost forgot to breathe just now, but the team still failed to defend Tianyang.

He finally, had to, had to, could only, had no choice but to admit that Tianyang couldn't defend himself!

Since you can't prevent it, then accept your fate.

He waved his hand to Murray on the court, signaling to implement small ball tactics.

Morrie nodded, dribbled the ball across half court, and immediately passed it to Andrew on the left wing. The latter didn't stick to the ball, and directly gave the ball to Malik on the left short corner with a ground strike.

Malik made another pass to the basket on the left, and Chris caught the ball and hit back. After shaking continuously, he gave the ball to Dixon in the low post on the right again.

While others were passing the ball, Morrie led Tianyang from the left half to the right half.

The moment Dixon received the ball, Morrie suddenly accelerated and rushed over. The two completed the pass hand in hand. Tianyang wanted to chase and defend, but was blocked by Dixon who took advantage of the screen.

Morley took the ball and went straight to the basket, Travis stepped back to defend early, and Tianyang pressed badly.

Sure enough, Morrie stopped to collect the ball, and took off from the short corner on the right.

2 points hit, Murray's shooting rate, although not as terrifying as Tianyang's 100%, is still 5 of 4 shots, as high as 80%. The University of Washington fell behind by 3 points and made several mistakes.

The Sequoia team attacked again, and the University of Washington continued to implement small ball tactics. After Tianyang got the ball from the three-point line, Andrew no longer defended close to him, and he no longer double-teamed with others. .

Either pass or shoot, in short, speed up the pace of the game and prevent Tianyang from delaying time.

Tianyang didn't mind at all. He specialized in dribbling before, and the three dribbling trainings were in situ, two hand changes, and floating movements, all in order to be able to play calmly under such circumstances.

Andrew pressed violently, he changed hands continuously to avoid, and then took advantage of the opponent's pressure to lose his position, and shot directly.

The game between the two teams entered the rhythm of confrontation.

The University of Washington finally took advantage of the '5 minors' in the lineup, took advantage of the quick offensive and defensive transitions, and scored 32 points at the end of the halftime.

But under the leadership of Tianyang, the Sequoia team scored a terrifying 52 points, which can be said to have blown up their opponents at halftime.

In the second half of the game, the offensive and defensive rhythms of the two teams remained unchanged, and they continued to confront each other.

The University of Washington played better, and Chris also stood up, scoring 4 points in a row in 8 minutes.

But they still haven't hit the Sequoia team, because the Sequoia team sent Donian to the field to form a double-shooting lineup with Tianyang. Donian, who had been holding back for almost a month, hit 3 consecutive 3 points, completely extinguishing University of Washington's chasing momentum.

In the end, the Stanford Sequoia team defeated the University of Washington Huskies 98-71, got a good start to the Pac-[-] Conference Championship, and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Tianyang scored 38 points and 8 assists, and was elected the best player of the game.

At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Romar, coach of the University of Washington: "Many fans on social networks have questions, why don't they insist on double-teaming against Tianyang?"

Romar shook his head and said with a smile: "As a coach, I tried all the methods I could think of, but none of them worked. Tianyang is not the kind of player who can pass defensive restrictions."

"Like?"

"Such as Durant, such as LeBron James, how do you defend? Losing to Tianyang, we are convinced, this is the arrangement of fate!"
