Chapter 33 Not a Problem
With a few words, Johnny drove Tony out of the arena like a big boss.

Everyone in the Sequoia team was stunned, especially Roscoe and Travis. They played under Johnny for 4 years and always thought he was a good guy. They rarely criticized players for making mistakes. They had never seen him so domineering. one side.

But Tianyang knew that Johnny was fulfilling his previous promise.Because he had promised that when Tianyang was 'bullied' again, he would respond better, instead of making compromises like last time.

So, when Tony jumped out and mocked Tianyang being completely suppressed by Jaylen Brown, Johnny did not hesitate to ask the security to drive them away, and announced in a high-profile manner that if Tianyang's bet failed, he would pay $10!

Back in the locker room, everyone in the Sequoia team was still surprised. Johnny clapped his hands together, and he said with a smile:

"Is it that exaggerated? I'm not crazy. I know SkyOcean's strength very well. It's possible to be in the top 10 in the NBA. This year, our basketball team will have a lot of money in the account. You should be happy rather than surprised."

Any fool could tell that Johnny was encouraging in disguise, Tianyang scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"Don't think I'm talking about inspirational words. Just a few rounds ago, Tianyang struggled, but it was just a wrong method. Jaylen Brown also has great weaknesses. As long as he adopts reasonable tactics to address his weaknesses, He can't do whatever he wants!"

John's expression was serious, and everyone realized that he was not joking, so they cheered up and waited for him to speak next.

"First of all, Tianyang, you shouldn't compete with Jaylen Brown. He was rated as the top 3 in the draft, and his physical fitness is an important reason. He gets up at 5 o'clock every morning for training and has persisted for many years. You just now It's better to just pull up and shoot directly!"

"Secondly, Jaylen Brown's shortcomings are very obvious. If you think about it carefully, why is his Eurostep so ugly? Why did Tianyang force him to shoot in a hurry when he went down the fast break? Why did he miss Rothko in singles, and he was behind Only attacking inside?"

why?Johnny asked 3 questions in a row, and everyone in the Sequoia team was stunned.

Fortunately, Tianyang reacted quickly enough and said, "Because his dribbling and shooting are relatively poor."

"Yes! You're right." Johnny nodded, then seemed to think of something, and said, "No wonder Cole is willing to give you a chance to interview as a teaching assistant!"

"Which Cole?" Shelfield asked curiously.

"Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors."

Specifically mentioning Cole, Johnny has a clear purpose. He wants to rebuild the team's lost confidence first.

The main reason for the team's loss of confidence was that Tianyang was completely suppressed by Jaylen Brown.

So the best way is to convince the players that Tianyang is so good that it can lead the team to defeat the Golden Bears, and the $100 million and Cole's evaluation are both very good methods.

In the surprised and excited eyes of the players, Johnny began to explain how to limit Jaylen Brown.

Defensively, Jaylen Brown took the ball, only pressing but not grabbing, delaying him and forcing him to mess up.If the fallout fails, avoid contact, put him in the paint, let the taller, stronger Travis, Grant do the final interception, he is a very strong small forward, but not LeBron's perversion level.

On offense, he also avoids physical contact, and uses continuous pick-and-rolls to open up space, so that his strong physical fitness has nowhere to play. Facts have proved that as long as Tianyang is not facing Jaylen Brown, other people's defense is not good enough.

In addition, Tianyang can also be used to attract defense, pass the ball quickly, and attack other positions of the Golden Bears.

In short, try everything possible to limit Jaylen Brown's performance.

After the tactics were arranged, Coach Johnny signaled the other players to go back to the field first, and he left Tianyang alone.

"You should understand why I arrange tactics like this?"

"clear."

"But this arrangement is still not enough, you understand?"

"I understand too."

"Do you know what to do?"

"know."

"That's good, win the game and continue to improve your pick."

Back on the stadium, Tianyang found that the first half of the Maples Arena, which was full of seats, was a bit sparse, and only a few fans were still holding signs, cheering for the Sequoia team a little lonely.

Although only 1 point behind, the strength shown by the Golden Bears has made most fans feel that there is no hope of a comeback.

There's no way, that's how sports culture is, as long as you don't play well, it's commonplace to leave early.

Not to mention the NCAA regular season, even in the 13 Finals, when the Heat fell behind, Miami fans could leave early.

Tianyang waved at those fans, and when they saw it, he thumped his left chest again, as if saying to the fans: "You all support me and see, you must work hard!".

In a blink of an eye, the halftime timeout ended, the game continued between the two teams, and the Sequoia team took the lead.

Marcus crossed the ball in the middle circle and made a pick-and-roll cover. Tianyang caught the ball and went straight to the right three-point line.

Before reaching the three-point line, Jaylen Brown got rid of Marcus and rushed to the sky again.

Seeing this, Roscoe immediately went up to meet him, and the Golden Bears did not dare to neglect. Point guard Jabari and Tiron, who had switched to small forward, hurried forward to double-team Tianyang.

In this way, in the area outside the three-point line on the right, a total of 6 players from the two teams huddled together.

Tianyang took off with the ball, but did not shoot. Instead, he passed the ball to Travis in the short corner on the right. After landing, he circled the sideline and ran to the bottom corner on the right.

Travis got the ball and attracted the attention of most of the Golden Bears players on the field. Only Jaylen Brown noticed that Tianyang used the chaotic crowd to slip to the bottom line, but was blocked by many obstacles and couldn't chase at all.

He shouted loudly and gestured with his hands and feet to remind his teammates to chase, but it was too late.

Tianyang received the ball from the right corner. Time was running out, and he directly used the 'Curry style' shooting action to complete the shot like lightning.

A 3-pointer was hit, and there was long-lost applause in the Maples Arena.

The Golden Bears attacked, and Jaylen Brown wanted the ball for a single.Tianyang took 2 steps back directly, and made a 'please' motion with his hands.

Jaylen Brown naturally refused to accept it, and immediately collected the ball and pulled it out.

With a bang, Grant grabbed the rebound and Tianyang rushed forward.It's a pity that the Golden Bears' counterattack tactics were very mature and failed to form a fast break.

The two teams were positioned in the frontcourt, and Tianyang received the ball and singled Jaylen Brown.Just when the fans thought it was another battle between the earth and Mars, Tianyang passed the ball back to Marcus.

Another 2 consecutive fast passes of the ball, Grant received the ball, turned around flexibly under the basket, cleverly avoided the 7-foot-1 Brooks, and easily hit the board to score.

The Golden Bears attacked again, and Jabari singled out Marcus in the top area of ​​the arc, but failed to gain advantage and passed the ball to Tyron.

But in the face of Roscoe's defense, Thirone also got good results and could only give the ball to Rooney.

Rooney's back-hitting Travis had a remarkable effect, but he immediately encountered Tianyang's defense. In desperation, he could only pass the ball to the outside.

At this time, Jaylen Brown on the outside line was in an unguarded situation because Tianyang deliberately did it.

But after he received the ball, he hesitated a little when he wanted to shoot, and finally dribbled the ball and rushed to the inside.

Seeing the opponent rushing in, Tianyang blocked Rooney with all his strength and let Travis rush to defend.

Surprisingly, Travis also failed to defend successfully, but fortunately there was interference, so that the opponent missed a layup and the basketball bounced out of the hoop.

When Grant grabbed the rebound, Tianyang and Marcus were almost two steps away from the three-point line, and there was no opposing player following them.

But Jaylen Brown started chasing from the bottom line, and at a super fast speed, caught up with the two at the three-point line in the frontcourt.

Fortunately, it was 2 on 1. Tianyang took control of the ball and rushed to the free throw line. Seeing that the opponent was catching up, he immediately passed the ball to Marcus with a panicked expression on his face.

Jaylen Brown seemed to smile, and then rushed to Marcus, holding his left hand high to prevent throwing while sticking tightly.

In his opinion, Marcus would not pass the ball again. Even if he really passed, Tianyang would not dare to attack, so all his defenses were placed on Marcus.

But I never thought that after Marcus entered the reasonable collision zone, he passed the ball to Tianyang without hesitation.

Tianyang did not hesitate to attack after receiving the ball.

Why do you say without hesitation?Because Tianyang took off with the ball in both hands and flew directly towards the basket.

Although there is Jaylen Brown in the middle, it is not a problem to complete a dunk.
