Chapter 41 Failed?

UConn's next game is Marquette University.

This is the second and last meeting between the two sides of the season.

Unlike last time, this time the game was played at the home of Marquette University.

Walker is still going with the team. He doesn't seem to be limping anymore, but the strain itself depends on support, and he is still half a month away from returning.

Walker can’t play, and Concordia has just suffered a three-game losing streak. For Marquette University, this is an excellent opportunity for revenge.

And the outcome of this game is also critical for Marquette University. If they can win, they will rise from eighth to seventh in the league, otherwise they will fall to ninth.

The camera before the game showed Jimmy Butler, the core of the team, with a serious expression.

As the most hard-working player in the NCAA, he, like Walker, is always thinking about how to lead the team to victory.

Marquette had a good start to the season, but the ups and downs since then, and he's still battling for a place in the championship game, puts a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

Although Lavoy Allen has left the University of Concord, he has a very good relationship with the team's backup center Folsis. Now he sees the other side sitting on the sidelines, ready to go over to say hello.

"What are you doing?" But he was stopped by Butler just two steps away.

Butler stopped him and walked straight towards him.

"I just went to say hello, Alexander is my friend," Allen explained.

"He is not your friend, they are our opponents, enemies now," Butler said.

Alan froze for a moment.

"Go back to training." Butler dragged Allen back.

Butler is the boss of the team. Although Allen is a little reluctant, it is not easy to show it.

The pre-match training of the two teams was over, and the starters of both teams appeared one after another.

There was a huge cheer from the scene.

Although Marquette University has had its ups and downs, but under the leadership of Butler, he has played hard in every game, and such a team has a high status in the hearts of fans.

The stadium was packed every time the game was played, and the fans showed their support for the team in their most fanatical ways.

When Butler came on the court, he patted his chest and stretched his fingers to the sky, then took a deep breath.

On Kangda’s side, Walker sat on the sidelines in a suit and leather shoes, replacing Napier, who started his start. The other starting four were the same as before.

"Master, do you really think it's all right?" Ollie turned to look at Kahon.

He still remembers what happened on the training ground a few days ago. After the duel that day, Lamb never spoke again during the training session.

"I'll know right away." Kahon's expression was relatively calm.

Ollie hesitated, but in the end he didn't speak.

To be honest, Kahun will retire this year, and he will be the head coach next season. When Walker leaves, Lamb will be his core. If Lamb is broken by Tang Tianzheng's mentality, he really doesn't know who to turn to. Complain to go.

"beep!"

As the referee blew the whistle, Oriarch threw the ball back into the majority of Kang's half, and the game officially started.

Napier took the ball to the frontcourt. Tang Tian mentioned a high-level pick-and-roll. After dismantling, he dropped the three-point line, and Napier broke through with the ball.

Thanks to Tang Tian's containment force beyond the three-point line, this tactic has become one of the conventional tactics of the University of Concord, the difference is that the initiator has now changed from Walker to Napier.

Napier's strength is two gears worse than Walker's, but his breakthrough speed is still good. Seeing that Marquette University did not double-team him, he accelerated to throw off the opponent's power forward and rushed to the basket.

Allen came to help defense, and Napier leaned on his left hand for a layup.

The two were on the same team before, and Napier knew his defensive habits, and this time he just avoided the block.

"boom!"

After the ball was released, it hit the backboard and bounced into the net bag.

Kangda scored first.

"What are you doing?! Cover him! You forgot what happened before?" Butler turned back and yelled at Allen. He was obviously very dissatisfied with Allen's defense of the ball just now. You must know that it was not Walker who scored just now, but Nei Peel.

Allen's expression became serious after being yelled at.

Marquette University's offense, Butler held the ball and was marked by Tang Tian. He didn't attack. Seeing that Allen had a chance at a high position, he threw the ball over.

After Allen received the ball, he leaned on Oriarch, turned and made a mid-range jumper.

Oriachi's speed a little bit behind.

"Shh!"

Allen's mid-range shot also scored the first point for Marquette University.

Butler took the initiative to reach out and clapped him hard.

"That's it, beat them!"

His spiritual attributes are indeed high, and Aaron's entire state was mobilized by him.

"It's okay, just stick it a little tighter." On Kangda's side, Tang Tian said to Auriarch.

Auriarch nodded.

Napier took the ball to the frontcourt, the same tactic, but this time Allen made up the defense very well, and he had no chance to dribble the ball back to the three-point line again.

More than half of the 35-second attack time, he stretched out his hand to greet his teammates to play new tactics.

Tang Tian started to use Smith's pick-and-roll to run a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

After hitting Georgetown with 7 shots and scoring 21 points before, Tang Tian's open three-pointer had been heavily guarded by his opponent. At this moment, it was not only the opponent's forward who followed him, butler also appeared between Napier and him, cutting him off. Passing route.

Concord University's tactics were targeted, but after Tang Tian diverted Marquette University's defensive attention away, Lamb had a chance at a 45-degree angle on the other side.

Napier swings the ball.

Lamb got a very good open three-pointer. He didn't hesitate after catching the ball and shot directly.

"boom!"

The shot was a bit heavy and bounced high on the back edge of the basket.

He still couldn't make the ball.

"Failed?" Ollie's heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene.

At this moment, Oriarch took advantage of his height and grabbed an offensive rebound above Allen's head.

A figure rushed straight from the outside to the inside.

It's Lamb.

After he missed the shot, he was already rushing in.

Auriarch threw the ball away after seeing it, and Lamb caught the ball and shot in the face of Allen's defense.

Allen was struggling to block at this time, and his defensive attitude was obviously better than when he was guarding Napier in front.

His wingspan is excellent, completely covering Lamb's angle of release.

However, Lamb showed his talent at this time, dodging a small lever in the air, dodging Allen before shooting.

"Snapped!"

Allen's block hit Lamb's hand, his body was confiscated, and Lamb was directly knocked to the ground.

The referee on the sidelines blew his whistle to signal Allen's defensive foul.

"boom!"

Lamb's shot hit the backboard, bounced and rolled into the net.

ball, in.

It's a 2+1!
