"Don't let him get into the super long distance three-pointer again. Double team him once it's half-time!
"It doesn't matter if the movement is a little big. We must stop him from continuing to score!”
The head coach of the University of Kansas, Roy Williams, hammered on the tactical board frantically, repeatedly emphasizing one thing.
That was to limit Zhang Yan's score!
Overly focusing on Zhang Yan's explosive performance made Roy Williams overlook a problem, which was the fluency of his team's offense.
The current score on the field was 10:2. Since the start of the game, the team had only relied on Collison's empty mid-range shot to score two points.
Sure enough, when the pause came back, there were problems with Kansas's offense again.
The players 'passes were very active, but no one stepped forward to end the attack.
"Clang!"
With a crisp sound of iron hitting, Novak turned around and took the rebound. He immediately passed it to Zhang Yan.
Marquet Golden Hawks launch a quick counterattack!
Hinrich and Jeff Graff quickly retreated.
Just as they were about to form a two-man team to surround Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan suddenly shot a cold arrow from outside the three-point line!
The distance between the NCAA's three-point line was much shorter than the NBA's. Their three-point line was basically the NBA's standard three-point line, so Zhang Yan felt no pressure at all!
The basketball hit the net and the score was 16:2!
"The three-point attack in the transition between offense and defense! Zhang had already hit the third three-pointer of the match, and it was all from a long distance!”
"Zhang Yan's hands are on fire tonight. When a 210cm big guy plays a super long distance three-pointer, the only thing the opponent can do is pray!”
The fans in the stadium were also very excited. They found that the visual impact of this ultra-long three-pointer was no less than that of a separated dunk!
Watching the ball travel such a long distance and then hit the target was very exciting!
The head coach of the University of Kansas, Roy Williams, frowned.
At this time, someone from the team had to step forward!
Roy Williams set his sights on Hinrich and Collison, the two players with NBA lottery strength.
However, Hinrich did not even dare to make a move in front of Zhang Yan.
He would not think that Zhang Yan's defensive line would be easily broken just because he was a big man. He had watched the video of Zhang Yan's game in the knockout stage more than once. Every defender who had this idea had been badly trained…
The only person the team could rely on now was Collison.
This round's performance did not disappoint Roy Williams.
Not only did he hit the board, but he also caused Mehmet to foul inside Marquet University, and he received an additional penalty!
After the penalty shot, Roy Williams secretly clenched his fists. The team finally had someone to break the scoring drought!
However, he was only happy for a few seconds when he turned around. Zhang Yan took a step outside the three-point line and made another move!
With a sway in his crotch and bad luck, Zhang Yan slightly swayed out of the gap and shot in the gap between the two defenders!
Roy Williams was dumbfounded. He made four three-pointers from long distances and hit four times.
Was this person cheating?
......
......
34:18, only two minutes left until the end of the half. Marquette University's lead had reached 16 points!
"Zhang, your performance in this match was great. Come down and rest for a while.”
Colin patted Zhang Yan's back during the break.
The match was only halfway through. Even if Zhang Yan had no solution, he could not risk his life to use it!
"No need, Coach Colin. I'll go down and rest when it's garbage time.”
Zhang Yan replied confidently.
He wasn't challenging Coach Colin's authority, but he wanted to do it while the University of Kansas was on the verge of collapse.
Give them a fatal blow!
“OK! I got it. Zhang, you stay on the court, reduce the number of solo shots, call for a few more pick-and-rolls, and pay attention to the distribution of physical strength!”
Coach Colin paid great attention to the player's personal wishes, especially in today's game.
Today's finals, regardless of whether he won or lost, would be Zhang Yan's final match in the NCAA. Since he wanted to play, then let's do it!
"Thank you, coach!"
"Coach, I want to stay on the field with Zhang!”
Coach Colin looked at Wade, thought for a while, and nodded.
The time-out ended, and Marquet's two guns remained on the field!
The first thing he did was a classic link between Zhang and Wei!
Wade counter-ran without the ball and entered the basket. Zhang Yan's NO-LOOK-STOP accurately sent out an empty pass!
The classic cooperation naturally couldn't be avoided with the classic chest bump celebration!
After this goal, the score between the two sides had already widened to 18 points.
The University of Kansas attacked, and Hinrich used the cover to make a mid-range jump shot.
It was finally time for Hinrich to score for the first time in the NCAA Tournament!
After the goal, the camera gave him a close-up.
However, Hinrich's expression was a little awkward. After all, it was not a glorious thing for a lottery point guard to score his first goal at the end of the half.
Marquette Golden Eagles attacked, and Zhang Yan once again made a three-pointer shot!
This time, the ball slid out of the box, and the audience burst into a huge sigh of regret. Now, in the eyes of the fans, Zhang Yan's three-point shot was a normal phenomenon. It was abnormal to miss.
After grabbing the rebound, Kansas immediately organized a counterattack and pushed forward very quickly!
Hinrich received a pass from his teammate at the three-point line and took two steps forward. He got up and prepared to slam dunk.
Under normal circumstances, Hinrich rarely dunked in an official game, but today was an exception.
The team was currently trailing by nearly 20 points and urgently needed a slam dunk to boost morale.
However, the moment Hinrich jumped, two black shadows appeared behind him!
"Bang!"
Wade and Zhang Yan caught up at the same time, and the two big hands pressed Hinrich's dunk onto the rebound!
"Oh! Poor Hinrich, he was actually blocked by two people in one attack!”Seeing this scene, commentator Mike Breen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"What I'm more curious about is who the block belongs to.”
Doug Collins said with a smile.
After stopping the counterattack, Wade quickly pushed forward with the ball!
Wade attracted the defense and deftly passed the ball to Zhang Yan, who was two steps away from the three-point line.
"Throw!"
"Throw!"
"One more!"
Seeing Zhang Yan holding the ball outside the three-point line, the fans in the stadium were shouting for a long three-point shot!
However, Zhang Yan rushed in the next second and dunked with both hands!
Seeing this scene, Mike Brin laughed."When the fans think he's going to make a dash, he keeps throwing three-pointers from a long distance. When the fans want to see him shoot, he rushes in and dunks.”
"This guy has such a personality!”
......
......
Half of the match ended very quickly. 23。
The 22-point gap made the game seem to have lost its suspense.
Zhang Yan's personal data was quickly displayed on the big screen of the stadium. He had 25 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounding. It was a very comprehensive data.
Among them, 7 out of 11 three-pointers, and the most terrifying thing was that they were basically all three-pointers from a long distance!
In tonight's final, Zhang Yan was very confident and decisive in every move, but even so, it was impossible for him to hit every three-pointer.
This was a real NCAA tournament, not a game.
In the second half, Roy Williams, the head coach of the University of Kansas, went completely crazy.
From the start, they had used three or even four people to surround Zhang Yan!
His goal was to make Zhang Yan unable to even do a normal shooting posture.
However, he had forgotten one thing, and that was Zhang Yan's passing ability.
By the time Zhang Yan could attract three or more people to surround him in every round, the match was basically over.
In the next seven minutes, Zhang Yan sent out consecutive assists.
Zhang Yan Pancake Shop opened again!
His teammates, who had an average performance in the first half, collectively ate the pancake until their mouths went soft in the second half!
In the last ten minutes of the game, the difference between the two teams had reached 65:36。
Just by looking at the difference in points, it was impossible to imagine that this was an NCAA final.
Zhang Yan had single-handedly turned the finals into trash time!
Looking at the huge difference in points, some of the players of the Kansas Pine Hawks even regretted entering the finals. It was simply asking for abuse and humiliation!
Facing Zhang Yan, the only thing they could do was to raise their middle fingers slightly. This was the final defense of their dignity…
"A one-sided massacre. This is the most crushing final I've ever seen. It's a completely one-sided game!”
Mike Breen said while holding back his yawn. His most classic catchphrase was " Bang!”，The goal would often be shouted at the climax of the game or at the anxious moment.
However, it was obvious that it was not needed in this game.
"Compared to this game, I'm more curious about which pick Zhang will be picked. What kind of performance will he have in his NBA career?”
The difference in points was too great. The two commentators almost fell asleep watching. They even started talking about Zhang Yan's future.
In the last nine and a half minutes of the game, Zhang Yan and Coach Kerlin raised their hands to signal for them to leave the field.
Coach Kerlin looked at Zhang Yan's data panel. He had 31 points, 12 assists, and 7 rebounding. He asked if he wanted to play a little longer and get a triple-double before playing.
Zhang Yan smiled and waved his hand. It was meaningless.
In the NCAA tournament, Zhang Yan won a triple-double as if he was drinking water.
However, he did not like to deliberately farm. He had requirements for himself. Every data had to contribute to the team's victory.
In this kind of garbage time, he still asked his teammates to cover for three boards and get a triple-double.
This was not Zhang Yan's style.
......
......
With the sound of an electronic beep, the finals of the 2003 NCAA Tournament officially came to an end!
The Marquette Golden Hawks had swept the prestigious Pine Hawks, Kan., with a score of 77:52!
"Champion! Champion!" Zhang Liyi cheered heartily in the studio.
Zhang Yan rushed straight to the center of the court, and his teammates piled on him like a human pyramid.
All the members of the Marquet Golden Eagles were celebrating without restraint!!!
Because they were the champions!
This was the moment when their dreams came true. It was a wonderful moment that was struck by happiness. It would forever be engraved on the trajectory of their lives.
On the other side of the court, the players from the University of Kansas walked toward the players 'tunnel with their heads lowered.
They were only one step away from the ultimate glory of basketball youth, but they were so close.
The NCAA was a league that had nothing to do with business but was related to youth.
Here, every player, no matter how talented they were, had a brilliant basketball dream.
It was their most unforgettable basketball years. It was the sacred fire that remembered the best years of their lives. It forever reminded them of how young they were and how carefree they were in love with basketball!
The head coach of the University of Kansas, Roy Williams, stepped forward and comforted his players.
"It's okay. You guys have already shown your tenacity. When that guy goes to the NBA this year, we'll take care of the Marquette Golden Hawks next year!”
After hearing this, the entire University of Kansas was shocked.
They had only seen the first layer and thought that the coach was thinking about the fifth layer. In fact, he was in the atmosphere!
