The NCAA game is divided into the first and second half, and the midfield has 15 minutes of rest time.

After the first half, both teams returned to their respective locker rooms to rest.

Kahon also summarized the team's performance in the first half and the points to pay attention to in the second half in the locker room.

"We performed very well in the first half. We continued to maintain this intensity of defense, and our opponents were obviously not adapted."

"But this is their home court, and they will definitely not give up easily, so we must continue to focus in the second half."

...

"Kenba, if you have a chance on the outside in the second half, you can choose to pass the ball."

Kahon said suddenly and said to Walker alone.

Tang Tian's defensive performance after his appearance in the first half was already satisfied with him, but he still looked forward to Tang Tian's performance on the outside.

But this kind of expectation is only his personal, so he didn't say it very clearly. Moreover, with Tang Tian's current status in the team, it is impossible for him to design tactics for him alone.

Walker nodded while wiping his sweat. He scored a lot in the first half, but his energy was also exhausted.

With more than five minutes left before the start of the second half, Kahon asked the players to rest for the last time, and he and Oli went out first.

Seeing that both coaches had left, Tang Tian got up and walked to Walker to sit down.

"Kemba, you are in such a good state in the first half. The opponent will definitely double-team you when you come back in the middle of the game. Even if you don't do that, they will at least let Clay defend you alone. Remember to pass the ball more outwards." Tang Tian said to Walker.

His words were not loud, but except Walker, Lamb and Napier heard them.

They all looked at Tang Tian in confusion, not knowing why he wanted to say what Kahong said again.

"I understand." To their surprise, Walker nodded seriously.

The people next to him didn't feel anything, but the person involved, Walker, felt completely different when he heard the two people say it.

Kahong just gave him the opportunity to spread more, but Tang Tian said that his opponent's possible strategy adjustments would make him beware of this in advance.

This is the same as Oli yelling at Ori Archie. Tang Tian’s coaching skills in his previous life were higher than Cahon and Oli, so he naturally knew how to make the players understand and accept the fastest.

"And Alex, don't raise your position and pick-and-roll anymore. Let Orland do that. Your height has an advantage in the inside. Once we can't make a shot, you can grab more rebounds in the frontcourt." Tang Tian said to Orioni again.

Ori Archie nodded directly. He still benefits a lot when Tang Tian gave him a few tips when he was playing Marquette University.

At this time, Lamb and Napier looked at Tang Tian with a look of surprise.

Walker and Tang Tian have a good relationship, and Tang Tian just gave some reminders. Walker accepted that they could still understand.

But Ori Archie is also a second-year student! Tang Tian said almost in the coach's tone just now. Ori Archie was not surprised at all, and he nodded directly without hesitation?

"What are you doing? Is there anything dirty on my face?" Tang Tian reached out to touch his face when he saw the expressions of the two.

"No." Lamb and Napier smiled awkwardly, and then turned their heads one after another.

After returning from the break, the starting players of the two teams continued to appear. Tang Tian is still not in the starting lineup on Kangda.

In the second half, Thompson was still running without the ball. Smith was trying hard to keep up with the teammates, and his teammates were actively helping him defend.

However, just as Kang Da was focusing on Thompson, the defender suddenly passed the ball to the inside. Taking advantage of Ori Archie being restrained by the pick-and-roll, their center shot directly from the inside to score.

As soon as the second half came back, the home team took the lead.

The score difference was narrowed to 11 points.

Tang Tian turned his head to look at the bench in the other half. This coach named Bernard said a bit big before the game, but his level was pretty good.

Although Thompson was not good at Tang Tianchao in the first half, no one dared to underestimate him. Bernard used this to attract defense and then created scoring opportunities for other points. Once Kang Da was distracted to defend other points, Thompson could also run out and take action directly.

This is equivalent to making adjustments based on the first half style of play, turning the offense from one point to another system.

Kangda's offense and Walker's ball holding.

As expected, Washington State University also made adjustments on the defensive end, and they directly asked Thompson to defend Walker.

It is not common for aces to be aces in basketball games, especially in the NCAA. Aces of a team shoulder the heavy responsibility of scoring. If they defend the opponent's aces, they will definitely not be able to bear it physically.

Lamb and Napier turned to look at Tang Tian at this time, with a more surprised expression in their eyes.

Tang Tian actually hit the point of his opponent's adjustment!

Walker made continuous changes in direction and broke through Thompson, and his speed was faster than Thompson.

However, his continuous breakthroughs did not create easy scoring opportunities.

Thompson's defense was unexpectedly good.

Benna smiled proudly at this time.

Most people only saw Thompson's performance on the offensive end, but ignored his deterrence on the defensive end.

If you really devote yourself to the defense, Thompson's defense is no worse than that of Tang Tian on the opponent!

Walker's last layup came out of the basket under Thompson's interference, and Thompson also got the rebound.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

When they came back in the second half, the attack and defense, the home team gave them hope to win again.

Washington State's offense, the same tactic, this time it was their guard who suddenly entered the inside with the ball and scored a layup.

The difference was narrowed to 9 points.

Kahon got up and walked to the sidelines, reminding the players to pay attention to the control of other players.

His reaction was not too slow.

Kangda's offense, Walker's ball holding continued to be marked by Thompson.

Because it was not a double team, Walker wanted to pass the ball, but his teammates didn't have a chance. This time he chose to change the backwards and jump shot.

But Thompson is 2.01 meters tall, so he still gives enough interference after jumping.

"Bang!"

Walker came back in the second half and failed to make two consecutive moves.

But at this moment, Ori Archie at the basket pressed Washington State University's inside to grab the offensive rebound and then passed it to Walker.

This second attack was beyond Thompson's expectations, and he had no time to return to defense.

Walker hit a close shot.

The score difference was further widened to 11 points.

Bernard's originally proud look paused, and the offensive rebound was obviously beyond his expectations.

At this time, Lamb and Napier looked at Tang Tian with a look of a ghost.

You should know that Ori Archie went to the frontcourt board as well as Tang Tian advised him during the half-time break.
Chapter completed!
