lakers championship

Chapter 46
On social networks, when there is a comparison between someone and someone, some people often comment: This is a comparison where someone's status has fallen into the Mariana Trench, which means that the gap between the two being compared is too great.

For example, compare Kobe with a shooting guard who has averaged 1 point per game in his career, compare Spielberg with a director who has made bad movies for decades, and compare the Internet writer with fried bean sprouts.

But now Kobe compares Tianyang with himself differently. He is demanding Tianyang with the highest standard, and he thinks Tianyang can do it, so he is so strict. , there is no need to spend so much time pointing out Tianyang's shortcomings.

"That's good, but you just said that Kobe is optimistic about Tianyang, what do you mean our hopes have increased?" Jim asked again.

Kupchak looked around first, and after confirming that there was no one there, he whispered, "I think Jenny will definitely find a way to prevent you from choosing Tianyang. You have publicly promised that if she succeeds in obstructing you, then she will take power in advance gone."

"So you said this, I thought about it, but a player who can rebuild the glory of the Lakers, she will also enjoy the benefits, and she shouldn't do so amazingly." Jim was a little skeptical.

"Well, I hope that's not the case, but it seems very likely that when he left the meeting that day, it seemed that there was a big plan brewing," Kupchak sighed.

"Then Kobe is optimistic about Tianyang, which is indeed helpful to us." Jim pondered for a while, "Why don't we wait for Tianyang's NCAA season to end, and let us immediately release the news that Kobe is optimistic about?"

"Don't worry, think about it again. The release of this news is a double-edged sword. It might make other teams interested. Kobe has rarely expressed his optimism for a rookie in all these years."

"Isn't he optimistic about Russell?"

"Can you not be optimistic? They are all on the same team."

"Too……"

……

On March 3, at 11:6 pm, the Sequoia team entered the MGM Grand Stadium again.

The tournament schedule is tight, and there are games every day, where they will play against the University of Arizona Wildcats.

The Wildcats are a bit strong, to what extent?
The No. 11 Huskies were eliminated by the Sequoia, and the No. [-] Ducks were also eliminated by the Sequoia. No. [-], No. [-], the Golden Bears, the "Bruins", and the Sun The devil's all lost to the Sequoias,

The Wildcats are the only team in the Pac-[-] that has ever beaten the Sequoias.

The Wildcats won by 5 points in that game. Although it was only 5 points, they were suppressed from beginning to end, and the Sequoias never overtook the score.

However, after the Sequoia team defeated Oregon, the unanimous conclusion of the media is that the two teams will fight again. The Sequoia team is 46 and the Wildcats are 4. The Sequoia team has a high probability of losing tactically.

Wildcats coach Sean Miller is a tactical master, to what extent is the master?

When there were NBA-level players such as Brandon Ashley, TJ McConnell, Hollis-Jefferson, Stanley Johnson and other NBA players in the past few years, the Wildcats won the first place in the Pac-[-] regular season in a row , the first place in the tournament; in the NCAA March Madness, consecutively reached the Sweet Sixteen and the Elite Eight.

This year, the Wildcats did not have an NBA-level player, and there were still two main players who were plagued by injuries. Sean Miller led the team to the top four in the Pac-2 League.

In other words, Sean Miller guaranteed the lower limit of the Wildcats, and its tactical level can be seen.

Tianyang has also seen what the media said, and he thinks it is quite reasonable, but tactics cannot determine everything. The teammates are now very energetic and can easily break through several conventional tactics.So after he came to the arena, he began to concentrate on practicing shooting to find the touch.

In a blink of an eye, there are only 10 minutes left before the start of the game.

Rothko finally seemed unable to bear it any longer, and asked, "Tianyang, are you going to stop doing that warm-up exercise today?"

Before Tianyang answered, Shelfield rushed to say: "He got up at 6 in the morning, practiced until 11 o'clock, had lunch at noon, and dragged me to practice until 5 o'clock, and took a bath in the middle, why warm up?" ? My whole body is hot right now."

Tianyang nodded, "Warming up is the goal, how to warm up is the method, as long as the goal can be achieved, the method is not important."

After a day of training, his whole body has been moved, so he doesn't have to worry about injury at all.

Rothko also nodded, "That's it. By the way, have you heard? A Wildcat player said on Twitter, thank us for defeating Oregon and helping them send away their biggest opponent in this tournament."

"Does that mean they are sure to beat us?" Hilfield raised his eyebrows.

"It seems that he didn't say that, but he mocked Tianyang and us." Rothko added.

"Oh? How are you mocking?" Sheffield seemed about to get angry.

"It is said that the same tactics can be used to isolate Tianyang from us again, send Tianyang to get the data, and they will win."

The last time they played against the Wildcats, the Sequoias did lose because of this.

Tianyang smiled, "Then they may not have heard of an old Chinese saying, three days apart, treat each other with admiration. I'm going to tell them today what is their surprise."

Rothko and Shelfield naturally didn't understand the meaning of "three days away from Shibai", but they saw the strong fighting spirit on Tianyang's face, and they instantly gained confidence.

At 7:[-], the game between the two teams officially started.

Since it was the semi-finals, there were more spectators present. The delegations from Stanford University and University of Arizona also came, holding their respective school flags to cheer for the home team.

The live broadcast sounded, and the players of the two teams walked to the field and took their positions.

The wildcats started, the point guard Gabe, compared with Marcus, his height and shape are much worse; the shooting guard Tim, has been staring at Tianyang, as if to find dollars from Tianyang's face; the small forward Trier, according to Roscoe, is a genius who is very good at breakthroughs; power forward Ryan is actually stronger than Travis; center Caleb, 7 feet 1 tall, handsome white guy, looks better than Grant.

In the jump ball session, Grant unexpectedly beat Caleb and passed the ball to Marcus easily.

Marcus advanced with the ball, stopped at the top of the arc, looked around, and chose to pass.

Tianyang received the ball from the left wing position, and the Wildcats immediately changed their defensive formation. Headed by Tim, plus Caleb, Ryan, and Gabe, there are four people in total, on the left wing, left corner, and left basket. The four positions at the top and top of the arc quickly formed a quadrilateral, trying to block Tianyang in all directions.

In addition, there is a Trier, wandering on the weak side, ready to steal Tianyang's pass at any time.

With such a battle of tactics, the fans on the scene were taken aback for a while.

"This defensive tactic is so powerful, Sean Miller is indeed a tactician!"

"I also want to praise the players of the Wildcats, their execution ability is top-notch!"

"It seems that Tianyang is going to fall twice in the same place!"

Before the fans could finish talking, Tianyang suddenly took a big step back,
He directly retreated to a position almost 2 meters away from the three-pointer, and started the Kobe-style two-stage shooting posture without hesitation.

Tim's defense was useless, and Tianyang hit a super long three-pointer!

The fans' discussion stopped abruptly. Tianyang threw his fist and roared loudly towards the Stanford University team.

Don't care about Nima's tactics!I can score goals.
