Chapter 87 Unexpectedly
Up until now, the more than 1 fans at the scene felt that something was wrong and unreal.

O'Sheafu and Hart, whom the TNT experts had placed high hopes on before the game, failed to limit Tianyang's performance even if they used strong physical contact.

Tianyang's goal was like drinking soup. In a blink of an eye, the Sequoia team led by 14 points.

This 14-point lead has zero luck.

All of them were led by Tianyang, one rebound after another, steals, and layups in exchange for getting back.

The Tomcats have a record of 16 wins and 2 losses in the regular season, which is higher than the Kansas Jayhawks in terms of absolute wins. At the beginning of the Crazy Three, the selection committee ranked second in the United States.

But the situation is one-sided.

Even if the Sequoia beat No. [-] Kansas, it shouldn't be one-sided.

Although Coach White on the sidelines resisted calling a timeout, he still remembered to keep rushing up and shouting.

"Run position! Run position!"

"Give it to the basket, give it to the basket!"

"Go to a personal response, hurry up..."

Before the words fell, Daryl was double-teamed by Grant and Travis.

The basketball rolled out of bounds, and the referee signaled for a backcourt ball.

Grant serves from the baseline, and Marcus catches the ball and dribbles it to the frontcourt.

Tianyang received the ball from the left wing, and after taking a tentative step to the right, he turned forward and broke through to the left. Facing Hart's pursuit and defense, he used Roscoe's cover to go to the low post.

O'Sheafu switched defenses, and Tianyang chose post-up singles.

The height difference between the two is too big, a bit like Barea hitting James with his back.

In such a situation, the fans at the scene exclaimed, the difficulty is too great, right?What are you thinking?
What Tianyang thought was 'I'll kill you while you're sick', since he was already leading by 14 points, he just stepped up and beat him to death.

At the same time, O'Sheafu chose to play singles to express his anger. The opponent continued to foul his body and did not respond strongly. With the referee's whistleblowing scale, I am afraid that he would be even more unscrupulous.

Since Tianyang was holding the ball and started back hitting, he couldn't pat the ball with both hands to leverage his strength, and he couldn't use his footwork very well, so he could only rely on his left shoulder to push forward. No stress.

"You want to prove that you are good at physical confrontation? Want to improve your draft pick? Give up..."

Before the taunting words were finished, O'Sheafu suddenly took a step back, and Tianyang turned back and shot.

It was obviously impossible to block the shot, but O'Sheafu was not idle, and pushed Tianyang's left foot with his right hand.

At that time, the basketball had already been shot, and Tianyang was falling, when a sudden force was applied to his left foot, the center of gravity of his body suddenly became unstable, and he couldn't stand at all after landing, and only stopped after chopping a big fork.

The referee blew the whistle, and Tianyang made two free throws.

Grant, who was next to him, quit, and rushed up to confront O'Sheafu with anger on his face, Tianyang quickly got up and pulled away.

It's not that you're afraid of conflict, but that you can't fall into the opponent's scheme.

If the referee took this as an excuse and pretended to play [-] boards fairly, and sent both of them off, it would be a big loss.

Tianyang made two free throws and the Sequoia team led by 16 points.

Coach White on the sidelines endured and endured, but in the end he couldn't hold back and called a timeout.

Back from the timeout, Chris replaced O'Sheafu.

The Tomcats attacked, and Bronson passed the ball to Hart at the top of the arc. Hart took the ball to the right wing and passed it to Darryl.

It's a pity that Daryl made a shot and Travis grabbed a rebound and made a long pass to Marcus.

Tianyang went down at high speed, received a pass from the right wing of the frontcourt, crossed continuously and dribbled behind Hart, and scored an easy layup.

The Tomcats changed their rhythm and played fast break, which was exactly what Tianyang wanted.

After scoring the goal, he turned around and made a gesture, which everyone in the Sequoia team understood.

Hart served from the bottom line, and as soon as Bronson received it, Tianyang and Marcus double-teamed and pressed for it.

It happened suddenly, but Brown methodically took a step back, and then hit the pass to Hart on the right sideline.

It was thought that Rothko had already been lurking beside Hart, and both of them rushed towards the basketball.

But Rothko was more ruthless and determined, and he rushed to grab the ball without hesitation, and Hart was forced to throw himself on the floor.

The two fell to the ground and huddled together, and neither of them took advantage, but Rothko grabbed the ball tightly and held it in his arms, and the referee could only whistle for a scrimmage.

The two jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Roscoe took the lead in touching the basketball by virtue of his bounce speed, and then passed it to Tianyang.

Tianyang rushed forward with the ball, and the Tomcats double-teamed. He swung his arms and passed the ball vigorously.

Unguarded Marcus catches the ball for a layup.

The Sequoias led by 20 with just 12 minutes to go.

Darryl stood there in a daze and forgot to serve from the bottom line. Chris didn't say anything to remind him, but just ran back with his head sullen. The Tomcats suddenly couldn't play.

Fortunately, the game went into a commercial break and they got a little respite.

In the VIP stand on the right, Nicholson looked a little surprised, "I guessed wrong again, I thought it was a plot of the Tomcats' counterattack to chase points, but it looks like it's about to collapse."

Jim laughed loudly, "All of you who make movies like twists and turns, wouldn't it be better to end a scene?"

After the timeout, the Tomcats still did not give up, and still adopted the fast-passing ball offensive tactics after halftime.

But whether it is Bronson, Hart, or Darryl, they are all in poor condition, with an average of 10 hits in 2 shots.On the other hand, the Sequoia team is flourishing, with all kinds of sharp cooperation, and the basket is as wide as the sea.

At the end of halftime, the Sequoia led by a terrifying 28 points.

The Tomcats players looked depressed, and some fans who supported them at the scene began to cry softly.

After the start of the second half of the game, the Tomcats were desperate, and 20 of the first 16 shots were three-pointers.

Although the shooting rate was as high as 50%, the Sequoia team became more and more excited as they played. They scored all the goals that should be scored, and scored several goals that should not have been scored. The disparity between the two teams has never been further narrowed.

In the end, the Stan University Sequoia team defeated the Villalova Tomcats 88-69, finished the next game again, won the first place in the Southern Division, and advanced to the final four.

This was a shocking game, completely contrary to the predictions of various media. The tragic battle did not appear. The Tomcats only led 2 minutes before the opening, and the smallest difference after that was 4 points.

In the handshake session after the game, Tianyang and Josh Hart shook hands for the longest time.

Tianyang appreciated Hart's attitude on both offensive and defensive ends. Although he used his elbow to break through, it was for victory after all, so it was reasonable.

Hart bluntly said that Tianyang is too good, and hopes to become a teammate in the NBA in the future.

In the VIP stand on the left, Sam Hinkie took out his mobile phone and found the name of 76ers owner Joshua Harris. The editor wrote: "His status in my heart has been equal to Simmons, or even slightly higher."

A reply was received within 10 seconds after the message was sent.

"I also watched the game, 29 points and 14 assists, only 30 minutes of data, several times of high-intensity physical confrontation did not fail. I just booked a ticket to Houston, I heard that Jim - Buss has been watching him continuously Four games in, I can't lose on attitude."
