Chapter 68 Can't guess the ending
It is indeed a common phenomenon for rookies to have weak physical resistance.

But as long as you receive NBA-level physical training, you can basically be reborn.

Even if Griffin, Embiid, and Randall are reimbursed for their rookie season and have not finished a game,

After receiving a season of professional training in the NBA, it is not the same as before.

Various media and scouts emphasized that Tianyang was weak in physical confrontation for two reasons:
Either don't want to believe, don't want to see him can play an excellent mark in the NBA.

Either the standard of requirements for him is very high, and it is completely treated as LeBron and Durant.

However, Tianyang's tough performance for several consecutive rounds reversed the stereotyped image of many media and scouts.

Therefore, the scouting directors of the Knicks, Bucks, and Kings all left the game early.

It's nothing to look at. If Tianyang can be selected after the third pick, the general manager of the top three picks will all be fired.

On the court, the referee made a penalty, determined that O'Shea was rich in turning around and shooting, and executed two free throws.

In the VIP stand on the right, Jim Bass looked disdainful, "This free throw guy, isn't he the guy from TNT who boasted that he could defend Tianyang? I want to see how to defend against it!"

O'Sheafu made 2 free throws and the Tomcats trailed 11-15 by 4 points.

The Sequoia team attacked, Tianyang received a pass from Marcus at the top of the arc, and dribbled the ball in small steps on the spot to look for opportunities.

At this time, the defensive formation of the Tomcats has changed from 212 positions to 32 positions because of consecutive scoring by Marcus and Roscoe.

There are defensive players at the top of the arc, left and right flanks, and left and right low positions.

The left and right high positions and short corners are unguarded, but they can be double-teamed at any time.

Tianyang decided to disrupt the Tomcats' defensive formation first. He accelerated the dribble and led Hart to the right.

Go to the right wing, pass the ball hand-in-hand with Marcus, then dodge and run back and cut in, and receive a pass back from Marcus at the short corner on the right.

Before he made a shot, Hart has re-posted him, and at the same time, O'Sheafu, who is in the low post on the right, is also ready to move.

It was impossible to make a mid-range shot, and there was no good choice for passing the ball. He decided to break through to the basket.

At the start, O'Sheafu stood in his way.

With a height of 211 and a weight of 111KG, it looks like a high mound, which is difficult to cross.

There is not much chance of passing to Grant, because O'Sheafu's arms are too long and he is easy to be robbed.

After a little hesitation, Tianyang jumped to the front of the hoop and made a throw.

O'Sheafu twisted his body and went straight to the sky.

The two made contact in the air, Tianyang was knocked to the ground, and the basketball hit the rim and missed.

The Sequoia bench stood up collectively to indicate a foul, but the referee did not whistle.

Grant and Travis competed for rebounds, and the two teams huddled together under the basket.

The Tianyang carp lying on the ground straightened up, and then immediately jumped high to join the fight.

After some confusion, no one grabbed the basketball, but Tianyang threw the ball outside, and Roscoe picked it up and ran straight away.

With 2 points scored, the fans applauded, most of which were given to Tianyang.

In the VIP stand on the right, Jim Buss was furious, "Isn't the NCAA supposed to be the purest basketball? Why is there such a blatant black whistle? Or are the referees blind?"

Nicholson grinned, "If you want to make money, you can't do it well, let alone make money like the NCAA. There are recruiting scandals every few years. It's normal for referees to be biased."

"The referee is so biased, I'm afraid these people will move more and more against Tianyang." Jim's tone was full of worry.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Hart raised his elbow to open the way when he broke through the sky.

Tianyang chased all the way to the basket, and O'Sheafu immediately ran into him, knocking Tianyang back 2 steps.

Johnny chased the referee all the way from the backcourt to protest, only to get a technical foul.

Looking back, the Sequoia team attacked, and Tianyang played singles with the ball at the top of the arc.

Hart couldn't defend, Tianyang rushed inside, and O'Sheafu assisted in the defense.

In order not to fall into a double-team, Tianyang made an early move.

Unexpectedly, O'Sheafu rushed up desperately and threw Tianyang to the ground.

The referee finally blew his whistle, but a common foul was called,
Johnny was furious, the Sequoia bench players threw towels one after another, and the fans booed everywhere.

According to NCAA rules, ordinary fouls need to be accumulated to 7 times before free throws are executed, and the second free throw is rewarded only if the first free throw is hit.

Therefore, the NCAA encourages fouls on the ball handler, especially before the shot.

Tianyang got up from the ground, silently retreated beyond the three-point line without saying anything.

Grant served the ball from the sideline, Tianyang took it, dribbled it to the top of the arc, and asked for a pick-and-roll.

Travis stepped forward, just finished the screen, Tianyang moved a step sideways, and directly shot a "Curry-style" 3-pointer. Eric, who wanted to switch defenses, didn't react at all.

Hit, the Sequoia lead by 7 points.

The Tomcats attacked, Bronson dribbled the ball forward, and Tianyang beckoned Marcus to press.

Perhaps with the anger of his teammates being fouled consecutively but not being given a fair penalty, Marcus pressed on Bronson with both hands up, down, left, and right.

Bronson controlled the ball and dodged almost mistakes, and finally passed the ball to Hart who responded in the middle circle.

Hart had just dribbled the ball for two steps and was about to speed up his breakthrough when Tianyang turned sideways and dropped the basketball like lightning.

The referee wanted to blow the whistle, but it was a step too late. Marcus turned around and threw himself on the floor, successfully caught the ball in his arms, and then passed it to Tianyang immediately.

Tianyang sprinted with the ball at high speed, and Hart and Bronson chased after him.

Walking to the free throw line, Tianyang made an emergency stop, and Bronson fell to the ground unsteadily, but there was still Hart standing in front of him.

But Tianyang seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and took another step back without a pause, like an anti-mage flashing, and retreated beyond the 3-point line with a 'bounce'.

Hart flew to the defense, Tianyang adjusted his posture, played steadily, and resorted to a 'Kobe-style' 3-point shot.

Hit, the Sequoia lead by 10 points.

The fans cheered in unison, and Coach White on the sidelines called out a timeout with a black line on his face.

Unexpectedly, the Tomcats came back from a timeout for the first attack, and before the ball passed the center line, Marcus completed the steal.

However, at this time, none of the Tomcats had passed halftime, and the Sequoias couldn't break fast.

Marcus crossed the ball from the left wing, and made a cover, Tianyang dribbled the ball to the right.

The Tomcats, who had suffered a lot, switched defenses very quickly, but Grant made a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and Tianyang continued to go to the right.

The Tomcats had unlimited rotations, and the Sequoias had unlimited pick-and-rolls. Both sides thought Tianyang would shoot three-pointers.

But at the left wing position, Tianyang did not continue to walk to the sideline, but stopped suddenly and dribbled the ball to the left to break through. He went to the basket and used a European step to shake O'Sheafu who wanted to foul and scored a backhand layup.

Looking back, O'Sheafu made a super long pass from the bottom line, and Hart received the ball from outside the three-point line and went straight to the frontcourt.

Hart was very fast, and Roscoe was even faster. Hart's layup, under the interference of Rose, failed.

Roscoe grabbed the rebound and made a super long backhand pass!
Tianyang received the basketball, used Grant's pick-and-roll to get rid of Bronson's interference and rushed to the inside to meet O'Sheafu, who wanted to foul early, and scored a layup in the air.

The Sequoia team led by 14 points. Coach White on the sidelines gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to call a timeout.

In the VIP stand on the right, Jim spread his hands, "Blow, blow, referee, keep blowing, keep blowing, and Tianyang will score consecutively!"

Nicholson smiled wryly, "I guessed the beginning of this plot, but I couldn't guess the ending. As expected, the Sequoia team played the ball, but Tianyang didn't hit the iron continuously, but scored 10 points in a row..."
