Chapter 71 Derek Williams

Connecticut's win over San Diego State University is just an ordinary one in many NCAA tournaments.

On the other hand, Majuk's flying dunk technique shocked the audience and went to the official website of the NCAA, and made a good reputation.

Two days into the tournament, with most of the first rounds over, more than two dozen teams have finished their seasons.

A season of hard work ends in one day, which is "March Madness."

The next day, Kahon arranged basic training for the team as usual. He was not arrogant or impetuous. He had a lot of experience in dealing with players' emotions.

In the evening, he also showed up with the team at Riverside Stadium, where the University of Arizona and the University of Tennessee will compete tonight.

Although the University of Arizona is only the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference, it is very vocal in championship predictions.

As one of the NCAA super giants, they entered the NCAA tournament for 25 consecutive years from 1985 to 2009, second only to North Carolina's 27, and the team won the NCAA championship in 1997.

As a giant, they also send a lot of players to the NBA, well-known like Steve Kerr, Mike Bibby, Andre Iguodala and so on.

Now the NBA is still in the regular season, but there are still some alumni, including Richard Jefferson, who played for the Spurs, and Jason Terry, one of the core of the Mavericks.

In fact, it is not only alumni, because of the existence of Derek Williams, many NBA scouts came to the scene.

The Cavaliers, Timberwolves, and Raptors, the three teams with the worst records last season, all had scouts on the scene.

Of course, it's not just these three teams, because Tobias Harris of the University of Tennessee, some teams in the middle of the first round, such as the 76ers, the Blazers, and the Bucks also have scouts on the scene.

ESPN and TNT also have reporters sent to the sidelines to keep an eye on the game.

Although this is only a first-round game, it has received far more attention than yesterday's match between UConn and San Diego State University.

"Envy?" Looking at scouts in suits and leather shoes, and many media on the sidelines, Walker turned his head and asked Tang Tian with a smile.

Although he opened the mouth to ask, he could feel that he was envious in his heart.

As a rookie, who doesn't want more attention? After all, the higher the draft, the more opportunities there will be in the NBA, and there will be higher development prospects.

"I don't envy." Tang Tian shook his head.

"Don't envy?" Walker looked at Tang Tian suspiciously.

Just when Walker thought that Tang Tian was going to say a bunch of high-level big words.

"Don't these scouts and media have to appear here the day after tomorrow?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

Walker was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he also laughed.

The University of Arizona has Derek Williams and Solomon Hill, and the other role players are stronger than the University of Tennessee. Tonight's game should be less suspenseful than their game yesterday.

That is to say, on this field the day after tomorrow, the teams facing each other will be the University of Concord and the University of Arizona.

At that time, Derek Williams was still there, and these media and reporters naturally had to come back.

At that time, he and Tang Tian will not be sitting in the stands, but on the field, and those people will pay attention to them while paying attention to Derek Williams.

So, envy is totally unnecessary at this moment.

The scene quickly entered the opening ceremony, and Derek Williams blew up the courtside audience when he came on.

As the champion of the top spot, his popularity is indeed high.

The game started quickly, and Arizona center Jesse Perry jumped for the team to take the lead.

In the frontcourt, the ball was directly in the hands of Derek Williams, who was in direct confrontation with Tobias Harris.

The strength of the University of Tennessee is limited, and Harris needs to be defensive and offensive.

Harris is 2.06 meters tall, 3 centimeters taller than Williams, but his weight is a full 7 kilograms lighter than Williams.

When the two faced off, he was clearly at a disadvantage.

Killing the strong inside line, Harris failed to defend, and Williams scored the first score for the University of Arizona.

Not to be outdone, Harris turned his mid-range jumper back.

In the offense of the University of Arizona, Williams chose to smash Harris with the ball. The two had a confrontation. Williams shot and caused Harris to foul.

After two consecutive rounds, it can be clearly felt that Williams is one level stronger than Harris in confrontation.

This kind of performance was also seen by scouts and the media, who whispered and nodded from time to time, obviously very satisfied with Williams' performance.

Williams made two free throws and scored 4 points in a row.

Looking back, Harris' layup after passing Williams was interfered by Perry and missed. This Perry's defense is not bad.

On the fast break of the University of Arizona, Williams dislocated to the forward of the University of Tennessee. After a change of direction, he directly squeezed the opponent and scored a one-handed dunk.

There was a whistle from the University of Arizona.

This athletic ability is really a talent visible to the naked eye.

Harris turned back and beat Williams, turned back and jumped in and scored, which was a blow with Williams.

Harris' score gave Tennessee a bite in the opening game, and in turn, they adjusted their strategy on the defensive end, using center to guard Williams.

Williams has a confrontational advantage over Harris, which is a timely adjustment.

But Williams chose to make a frontal breakthrough at this time, swayed his opponent directly with continuous change of direction, scored the ball under the condition of Harris' supplementary defense, and also caused Harris to be a thug.

He roared after the goal, and the entire Riverside Stadium blew up.

This strength really overwhelms other rookies.

After the penalty was also entered, he scored 9 points in a row after the opening, and his performance was quite hot.

"I like this kid, he can really become the champion." Richard Jefferson couldn't help laughing in the stands.

"Yes, the school has never produced such an outstanding big man, and he will lead the school to regain its glory." Terry also nodded.

They failed to help the team win the championship when they were in school, and this time can only pin this spirit on Williams.

The on-court game continues, but Arizona has completely dominated the field under Williams' leadership.

Williams is a bug on the court. In the face of a small forward player like Harris, he directly uses the advantage of confrontation to eat hard, and when he encounters a big player, he directly breaks through you for a layup.

In other words, he was like LeBron James in the NCAA.

Those who are faster than him are not as strong as him, and those who are stronger than him are not as fast as him.

At this time, Kahon was also watching in the stands and frowned. As far as Williams' performance, no one at Kangda could really prevent him, including Tang Tian.

Thanks Xingfeng Xiaoye for the reward
