It was not until the fifth minute of the game that Williams, the head coach of the North Caroline Tar Heels, paced back and forth and could not help but apply for a time-out.
Stephen Curry made 2 of 4 shots.
The remaining two missed basketballs, Tang Ziwen got the ball and played hard inside, still scoring.
Tang Ziwen's strong rebounding ability meant that Stephen Curry could make mistakes.
Even a single mistake from the Northern California Tar Heels would be fatal to them.
Tang Ziwen's rebounding ability completely suppressed the opponent's Ed Davis.
The score was 12:8!
"What a wonderful match. We can see that the devil Dunn, Zi, and Wen once again dominated the rebound in the paint.”
"That's right. Stephen Curry can make 2 out of 4 shots. Tang Ziwen gets all the missed rebounding shots. The dominance of the rebounding game has strengthened Davidson's offensive ability!”
The two commentators, Barkley and Kenney Smith, teased each other, enhancing the atmosphere in the stadium.
Stephen Curry's current shooting speed was far from the speed of shooting in the Warriors, which was only 0.4 seconds.
However, his shooting speed was still among the fastest shooting defenders in the NCAA college league, and he could guarantee a certain hit rate.
Kobe Bryant rested his chin on his hands and stared at the court with interest.
"His grasp of the rebound is better than the others, and his speed is also very good. It will be difficult for Davidson to win against Northern California, but there is still a chance.”
He believed that Tang Ziwen's strength lay in his powerful muscles and the speed of his feet.
Even if the era of small ball really came, the defensive role of the center was obviously greater than that of the striker.
Of course, this center forward had to be fast and fast.
The defensive strength of a center was the key to the confidence of a defender's offense. Tang Ziwen and Stephen Curry's abilities could complement each other.
On the substitutes 'bench, Williams instructed his teammates seriously.
"We can't let them pick and roll unscrupulously. Once Tang Ziwen helps Stephen Curry pick and roll, you guys should change defense in time and make up for it.”
"Next, we will use a joint defense tactic.”
The joint defense strategy was to limit Stephen Curry's three-pointers and restrict the opponent from passing the ball to Tang Ziwen in the paint.
This was their main task.
"In terms of rebounding, try your best not to make any mistakes. That guy's rebounding ability is insane.”
Even though Williams 'coaching skills were very strong and he had a lot of tactical knowledge, when he encountered a player like Tang Ziwen who could completely dominate the NCAA rebounding, he still had no other way. He could only try to minimize his mistakes.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
The Arizona Sun Devils were a good example.
It was absolutely not advisable for them to use foul tactics to deal with Tang Ziwen.
A foul was equivalent to giving points to the Davidson Wildcats.
Their advantage was that their cooperation was more perfect, and each player had good defensive ability and offensive standards.
On the other side.
"Dunn, the other side will definitely defend against me and limit my three-pointers. So next, you'll run high or low. I'll pass the ball to you under everyone's screen.”
Stephen Curry, a primary school student, was very self-aware.
He knew very well that with the difference in his standards, once he was targeted, it would be very difficult for him to display his strength.
The other party would definitely target Stephen Curry.
After all, a three-pointer was always more threatening than a two-pointer.
"No problem!"
Who said Stephen Curry had a low EQ?
The game continued. Stephen Curry dribbled the ball back and forth, and the rest of the players quickly moved into position. Northern California's defense was very strong.
Antonios made a pick-and-roll, and Stephen Curry immediately took a step back to the left. Hansbrough also quickly defended, forming a defensive line that surrounded Curry.
"Whoosh!" Stephen Curry did not hesitate and threw the ball into the paint.
"Pa!" Tang Ziwen's left hand grabbed the ball steadily, and he was now at a 45-degree angle to the left of the basket.
This position was the high post near the inside lane where Yao Ming often played solo.
Ed Davis squeezed forward forcefully. His left arm was tall, and his body pressed against Tang Ziwen, assuming a very standard defensive posture.
"In a joint defense situation, the ball was handed over to Tang Ziwen!”Williams frowned. He couldn't understand why Tang Ziwen ran to that position. That position was indeed convenient for receiving the ball, but it required a certain amount of skill.
Wasn't Tang Ziwen's skill not good enough?
Everyone was watching this scene.
"Bang! Tang Ziwen's body swayed left and right, and he quickly turned around to accelerate the ball. His right hand was like a magician's hand, and he threw it back to Stephen Curry, who was running.
"He passed the ball!"
Tang Ziwen's fans were disappointed.
He actually passed the ball at the critical moment.
But in the next second, they became excited again.
"Whoosh!" Stephen Curry, who was running, threw the ball high into the basket and glided to the ground.
Due to his speed and the fact that Ty Lawson was following him, it was very strenuous for him.
Tang Ziwen strode forward like a dragon and tiger. He quickly rushed into the lane and grabbed the basketball, slamming it into the hoop.
His method was simple and crude.
Boom!
A deafening slam dunk was heard, and the basketball hoop trembled in pain, as if it had been dunked with a force that the NCAA should not have been able to withstand.
Kobe Bryant, LeBlanc James, and the famous star players of Caterina all stood up with their mouths wide open, revealing exaggerated and shocked expressions.
How could they see such a dunk in an NCAA game?
Such an alley-oop?
"Great Demon King!"
"Great Demon King!"
"Great Demon King!"
In the huge stadium, there was a wave of cheers.
Alley relay!
The explosive alley-oop.
Stephen Curry got up from the ground excitedly and jumped straight into Tang Ziwen's body to celebrate.
Of course, Tang Ziwen and Curry were different in height, and their muscles were bulky, so they could not jump up to celebrate…
He could only celebrate by being bumped into and then clap three times with Curry.
"It's always the inside line. The advantage of the inside line can determine the outcome of a game.”Barkley shouted.
Even though Barkley's words were not pleasant to the ears of many NBA stars, it was the truth.
A dominant center forward, in this era where centers were scarce, could completely influence the outcome of a game.
It was like the peak of Shaquille O'Neal from 1999 to 2002!!
