Chapter 64 Believe in the process
Yum Center, above the VIP stand, Nicholson pushed his sunglasses, "I told you not to talk big, if you don't listen, if you insist that Tianyang will win the NCAA championship, if he loses, how can you tell the fans ?”

Jim Bass raised his legs, "With Tianyang's performance, if he is selected, the entire Staples will be crushed on the day of the signing ceremony. Believe it or not? So what if you lose? The fans will have to kneel down." Worship."

So far in the game, Tianyang has scored 35 points and 9 assists, and the Sequoia team has scored more than half of the points, and there are not many 3 points, almost all of which are from the low post one by one.

Nicholson thought for a while, and seemed to agree with this statement, "Tianyang wasn't interested in that Emily last time, and didn't contact her at all, did you..."

Jim Buss waved his hand, "Stop talking, watch the game!"

For the Sequoia team's baseline ball, Grant directly sent it to Tianyang, and Devin and Mason stepped forward together to form a siege.

But they didn't double-team, because Coach Bill ordered: Tianyang's physical strength has been exhausted, let him continue to attack, it is best to force mistakes under pressure, and don't let him pass the ball.

Johnny on the sidelines was walking back and forth. He knew that Tianyang had been playing with the ball. If he hadn't used his back attack, he would have been unable to run.But now the whole team has formed a dependence. If Tianyang does not handle every attack, others will not be able to play.

If there is a next game, we must change our style of play, but this can only be like this.

Tianyang brought the ball to the three-point line and spread his five fingers to signal a single.

This is not to show off, nor is it to attract fans, the main purpose is to trick Devin into shooting a three-pointer in the next round.

He didn't believe that Dewen was able to get into it all the time.

The Sequoia players spaced out, and the Kansas players followed suit.

Tianyang continued to dribble the ball under his crotch, and waited until the 25th second before raising his right shoulder and rushing to the right.

Devin moved directly to the right to block, and did not hear Pierce shouting: "That's a fake move!".

Sure enough, Tianyang raised his right shoulder and did not go to the right, but pulled the ball to the right and rushed into the inside line. When Devin turned around to defend with all his strength, he retreated to the top of the arc with a big stride, and raised his hand to score a 3-pointer.

The basketball flew at high speed, hit the rim, bounced twice, and fell into the rim. The Kansas fans at the scene were full of mourning.

But what was annoying was Pierce. Tianyang's action just now completely reproduced his singles against LeBron.

He reminded him, but German didn't hear it. Now he is 4 points behind, with only 14 seconds left to attack, basically GG.

Kansas served the baseline ball, and Mason sprinted with the ball at high speed, and passed it directly to Devon in the frontcourt.

Facing the defense, German made another 3-pointer.

But Tianyang had been prepared for a long time and completely blocked German's shooting sight.

Unexpectedly, a miracle came again, and German scored a three-pointer.Tianyang shook his head, believe what you should believe!
Leading by only 1 point again, with 10 seconds left, Kansas only needs to foul, and then come back to grab 3 points and there is still hope.

The Sequoia team made a bottom line ball, and Tianyang ran back continuously. With the help of Roscoe and Travis off the ball, he received a pass from Grant.

As soon as he got the ball and was about to sprint, Devin grabbed his jersey.

The two fell to the ground at the same time. The referee blew his whistle to signal Tianyang to make two free throws, with only 8 seconds left.

Tianyang got up and bumped towards the free throw line. Johnny and other Sequoia players were in a hurry.

If you get hurt, it's a big loss.

But Tianyang waved his hands again and again, indicating a small problem, and stood at the free throw line with a smile.

For the first free throw, Tianyang adjusted his posture, and amidst the boos of all the Kansas City fans, he took off steadily and shot.

The hit caused an uproar at the scene, and many people asked, "Can free throws take off?"

Embiid on the sidelines smiled, "A master never shy away from his ideas..."

Pierce glared, Embiid shut up quickly, but Wiggins shook his head, "Taking free throws is a waste of energy, not enough for health, he is so tired, why bother?"

Tianyang at the free throw line also patted his head. He was used to shooting and didn't change it just now.

For the second free throw, he stood still, threw it casually, and hit again. The Sequoia team led by 3 points.

When it was Kansas' turn to attack, Coach Bill regretted it very much. He shouldn't have used the last timeout in advance, so that the current situation is very passive. If the game is lost, he will take full responsibility.

Coach Johnny on the other side, after Tianyang made the second free throw, immediately yelled loudly: It's a foul at the center line!

Indeed, with 8 seconds left, Kansas has every chance to score 3 points.

If the game is dragged into overtime, the Sequoia team will be very disadvantaged, because Tianyang is already out of breath, and Kansas is feeling hot, and it will definitely not have a good result.

Kansas bottom line ball, Ellis took off and made a long pass to Devin at the center line.

Tianyang followed the same pattern and pulled Dewen's jersey. The referee indicated that Tianyang made a foul. Devin made two free throws and had to execute a technical free throw.

Sequoia coaches, players, and fans exploded directly.

Why did Tianyang only make 2 free throws for the same foul, while Devin made 3 free throws, and Tianyang was pulled down.

The referee was also unambiguous, explaining that Devon's action was unintentional, and he missed the person he wanted to shoot, but Tianyang went directly to pull the jersey, which might cause injury to the player, so he added a technical free throw.

The entire Sequoia team refused to accept, but they had no choice but to accept their fate. Even if they admitted the wrong judgment afterwards, it was useless.

Now I can only pray that the goddess of luck is on my side.

But in the cheers of the Kansas fans in the audience, Devin seemed to be destined, and made two free throws.

A technical free throw was also made, and the score was tied between the two teams with 6 seconds left.

The Redwoods attack, Grant waits at the bottom line, Marcus stands at the free throw line in the backcourt, Tianyang stands on the right side of the center line in the backcourt, Roscoe stands in the short corner on the left side of the frontcourt, Travis stands at the basket in the frontcourt Down.

With such a position, Grant has many passing options and good passing vision, and the chance of each player being double-teamed is also very small.

The referee blew his whistle to signal the start of the clock, and Grant twisted his body from side to side looking for opportunities to pass the ball.

Tianyang and Marcus ran at the same time, and then ran back, Grant threw the ball to Tianyang vigorously.

Tianyang received the ball, faced Devon's defense, stepped sideways across the center line, and accelerated to the right wing position with all his strength.

Devin didn't make a move at first, and it was too late to make another move, so he could only stick tightly.

On the right wing, Tianyang turned around and dribbled the ball with his left hand, and rushed to the top of the arc again.

4 seconds, in the dribble sprint.

3 seconds, dribble sprint

In 2 seconds, Tianyang faced German's defense, kicked off with his left foot, stretched his right leg forward, and leaned back to shoot.

In 1 second, the German thug fouled, but it didn't matter anymore, the basketball drew an arc in the air.

0 seconds, the basketball fell into the hoop, hit a 3-pointer, and Tianyang fell to the ground, screaming to the sky.

All Sequoia players, on and off the court, together with the coaching staff and Brad, rushed to the sky.

Then the Sequoia fans also rushed to the court, and everyone surrounded Tianyang in the center.

Shelfield and Donian held Tianyang on their shoulders, and roared in all directions brazenly.

This is the time for the Sequoias, this is their March Madness.

The 15th-ranked Sequoia team defeated the No. 84 University of Kansas 81-1 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2016 March Madness Elite Eight. Tianyang scored 43 points and 9 assists.

Various emotions appeared on the faces of the Kansas fans at the scene, including sorrow, disappointment, frustration, unwillingness, and anger, but their crazy March is over.

After a short celebration, the two teams began to shake hands after the game.

Seeing that Dewen was crying, Tianyang wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't say anything.

Devin represents a lot of people in Kansas whose college basketball journey is over.

They won't make it to the NBA, and they won't make it to any other professional league.

Among the vast number of NCAA players, they have completed the most gorgeous bloom.

Their crying is not all sad, but also release and sentimental.

Their hard-working youth is over, and what awaits them is a new life.

Tianyang shook hands and hugged all the way to the side of the three of Pierce,
Pierce squeezed his hand hard, "Boy, you did a good job! But I still want to blow you up next season!"

Tianyang smiled, "I will definitely ask you for advice then."

Wiggins came up and patted Tianyang on the shoulder, "We have time to discuss health preservation together."

Afterwards, Embiid also came up, he bowed his head and paused for a while, then looked up at Tianyang, "Friend, do you believe in the process?"
