Chapter 21
Relying on Han Miao's pass, after the first half, Pennsylvania still held on to the score, and the 4-point gap was not very big.
Han Miao played for 20 minutes and had no rest except timeouts. He scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 12 assists, with absolutely excellent data. 12 assists are also an important reason why Pennsylvania is firmly in the score. With his connection, Pennsylvania has blossomed at most points, and the maximum score difference in the game did not exceed 8 points!
Wall scored 26 points alone in Kentucky! He can be said to have descended to earth. Whether it is single defense or double-teaming for Penn, he seems to have a way to put the ball into the basket.
Especially when he was fighting with Han Miao alone, Wall turned Han Miao, who had performed well in the previous game, into a sieve. He could do whatever he broke through. His faster speed made Han Miao not withdraw at all, and he would eat you with speed!
However, Kentucky's scores are basically concentrated on Wall. Apart from Cousins, the rest of the people have poor scores, so they basically have no sense of existence.
"John, you have a break in the second half."
The Kentucky head coach didn't say much about Wall. Although he didn't connect with the team, the team was still ahead. And judging from the direct matchup, Wall can be said to have beaten Han Miao. Although Han Miao's assists were against the sky, Wall hit him head-on for many times. Overall, it seems that Wall is pressing him to play.
However, the Kentucky head coach saw that his core physical strength from home could no longer keep up. At his request in the first half, he played for 20 minutes without rest (Han Miao was there), and now Wall's clothes can be twisted out of water.
"DeMarcus and Patrick, you two will fight me to death at the beginning of the second half! Their inside line is very poor, you two should do as much damage as possible! Eric, you can control the ball in the second half, feed the inside more, and then you can also shoot three-pointers if you have the chance, but remember not to make a slut! We must start the second half and open the score in one fell swoop!"
"yes!"
On the side of Penn, Han Miao is also setting up new tactics.
"At the beginning of the second half, they will definitely fight the inside. Wall's physical strength is not as strong as mine, so he will definitely have to rest. So, the competition for the inside is the key! You have to bear it with them to the end, don't be afraid of fouls. Except for Patterson, the other people's free throws are not good. If you can cut, don't be afraid! Even if Patterson, he is just a little better!"
Han Miao generously told his opening tactics of the second half. There was nothing else, just scoring. Anyway, there were many supporting roles in Penns and many fouls that could be used. As long as you can prevent your opponent from being "21", no matter whether you hug or pull your pants, you can send them to the free throw line.
A few guys who don’t even have a bronze-level “free throw ace”, I will lose if I can’t cut it.
"I understand! But Han, isn't this a little bit obscene?"
David and others expressed their understanding, but at the same time, they personally felt that playing like this was a bit stingy... Bah! It was too stingy!
"Do you want to win or be graceful?" Han Miao blocked their mouths with one sentence. Indeed, in the face of victory, all the demeanor and morality are not a problem. Many years later, a certain insider of a certain team relied on one move to "send you to reimburse the shadowless foot" and became famous all over the world. He made an indelible contribution to the team's victory. He was a model of despicable despicableness.
"Then, cut it."
The public looked at each other and immediately threw the so-called demeanor aside. Han Miao was right. Victory is the most important thing. Penn has finally made it to the top 16, so it is better to be able to go further!
At the beginning of the second half, Penn changed two supporting players, and their offensive skills were basically zero. In addition to being able to stick to the pick-and-roll, they scored by feeding the ball.
This made Cousins very upset. TNND, Han Miao didn't go down, and the inside line actually replaced him. Do you look down on me, DeMarcus, unhappy Cousins?
Cousins is now in the interior. I have to say that he is good at having a big weight. He needs a very deep position and is almost at the basket.
Bledsoe is short and it is not easy to break Han Miao under close defense. Cousins is in position here, so Bledsoe directly hit the ground and passed the ball.
Cousins was about to get the ball, and just as he was about to get hard, he suddenly stretched out a pair of big hands behind him, clamping him tightly like an iron ring! The power of this time made Cousins unable to break free!
"Ding--"
This was a foul without any surprise. Penn really sticks to the foul tactics and fouls the first ball from the ball!
"pretty!"
Han Miao went over to brigade the center who was fouled. That's it. He just had to fight like this, just not let Cousins play smoothly.
As for free throws, haha, Cousins' free throws are only about 50%, so it would be nice to be able to get one in.
Cousins mumbled and then went to the free throw line. Obviously, a beautiful attack was destroyed by someone with a foul, and he was also very upset.
After all, he knew what his free throw was like.
"Free shot, twice."
The referee hit the ball at the bottom line, and Cousins picked up the ball and took action without aiming!
"Swish~"
Haha, I was so lucky that I actually scored the first goal!
“Yes!”
Cousins himself couldn't believe that I could be so accurate? Oh my God, I'm indeed a genius.
“Second time.”
The referees were a little surprised. After all, most of the referees in NCAA have seen the free throw. It is rare to get the penalty so simply.
"Protect the rebound!"
After Cousins received the ball, he seemed to have tasted the sweetness and took action directly. This time, Han Miao shouted out the moment he took action.
He didn't believe that Cousins could still score this goal.
Sure enough, with a "bang!", the basketball hit the back of the basket heavily and then bounced out. The two inside players from Penn joined forces to get the position. William, who was temporarily playing the small forward, rushed in and won the precious rebound!
"Han, fast attack!"
William passed it to Han Miao, and the single fast attack badge was activated. Han Miao rushed to the Kentucky basket alone. Although Bledsoe was not at a loss in speed, he was helpless in that height difference. Han Miao was pressed tightly with his body. When he finally made a layup, Han Miao deliberately "touched the car"!
"Ding--"
"Bang~swish~"
After Han Miao hit the ball in the air, he steadily made a hit. Bledso looked helpless. Can he do this? It was difficult for a small man to defend fast attack, and this guy deliberately made a foul.
Han Miao went to the free throw line, and with the help of the bronze-level "free throw ace", his extra free throw hit steadily! "21" was scored! The score was only two points away!
"Just fight like this!"
Han Miao loudly encouraged the whole team, regardless of the gray faces of Wall and the Kentucky coach.
It’s not that Wall doesn’t want to get on, but now his legs are trembling slightly, and it’s too hard to play without rest.
I really think it would be so easy to score 26 points in the muscle group in the first half? Please, Wall is not the Wizards leader who will kill all the future.
So, now I can only hope that these people can withstand the pressure before Wall goes up.
"Ding—" "Bang!"
"Ding—" "Bang! Bang!"
"Ding—" "Bang!"
...
In the next 5 and 6 minutes, Penn made everyone know what shamelessness is. The only one who played the shark-cutting tactic to this point was Penn’s unique role in college!
The sound of "bang! bang! bang!" made the scene silent. The Kentucky coach now regretted not letting his insider practice free throws. Is this a game? Is it true that he was not here to make a blacksmith?
