Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 104 A Big Heart

Coach K called another timeout.

UConn's offensive was like a wave, one after another, leaving Duke a little overwhelmed.

Back from the timeout, Walker had a free throw opportunity.

Braving the boos of more than 40,000 Duke fans, Walker took a deep breath and then steadily made the extra free throw.

68 to 69!

With Walker's successful free throw, UConn completed an astonishing comeback performance, chasing a 20-point deficit down to just 1 point!

There were only 2 minutes left in the game!

All the fans at the scene couldn't help but take deep breaths to adjust.

UConn fans were a little better; they had already experienced it once when the team played North Carolina before.

But Duke fans' little hearts couldn't take it anymore. They should know that Duke's previous games were all overwhelming victories, completely easy.

But now, they didn't even understand why the 20-point difference was only 1 point in the blink of an eye.

If they could still lose after leading by 20 points in the half, this game could really go down in school history, just like when Shane Battier led the team to reverse Maryland by 22 points.

The difference is that Battier created the greatest comeback in NCAA history, which was glory, but this time, it would be shame.

Duke's offense, Irving did not force an attack on Tang Tian again, but signaled to pull away and passed the ball to Singler.

Coach K's tactical system is to create mismatches. Irving against Tang Tian is a mismatch, and Singler against Lamb is also a mismatch.

Singler is very strong in off-ball and team ability, but he is not a player who is good at independent offense. After getting the ball, he directly chose a head-on dry pull-up against Lamb.

Lamb jumped up to interfere.

"Bang!"

Singler's shot failed to hit.

Oriakhi held off Plumlee and took the defensive rebound.

Now, UConn has a chance to overtake the score!

In the last minute and a half, even with the previous experience of playing North Carolina, UConn fans felt their breathing a little rapid.

"Defense! Defense!"

"Go! Connecticut Huskies!"

The fans on both sides shouted at each other in the air, and the environment at the scene was extremely noisy.

The external pressure on the players on the field is unimaginable.

Tang Tian picked up and gave Walker a screen, Walker mismatched against Singler, and a sudden stop after a series of crossovers.

"Bang!"

This ball also failed to hit.

However, Oriakhi grabbed the offensive rebound at this time, and the shot caused Plumlee to foul, gaining two free throw opportunities!

"Bang! Bang!"

Fans could feel their hearts beating rapidly. This game really needs a strong quick-acting heart-saving pill!

Oriakhi's two free throw opportunities.

The on-site interference was deafening, buzzing in the ears of the players on the field.

Oriakhi took a deep breath, aimed at the basket, and shot.

"Bang!"

The first free throw failed to hit.

There was a cheer at the scene.

"It's okay." Walker and Lamb stepped forward to slap Oriakhi and encouraged him loudly.

Oriakhi's second free throw opportunity, Tang Tian and Kelly were entangled fiercely under the basket at this time.

Oriakhi's second free throw.

"Bang!"

Still failed to hit.

But at this moment, Kelly threw Tang Tian out of the field with a wave of his hand.

The referee whistled, indicating Kelly's foul!

This is Duke's 7th foul in the second half. According to the rules, Tang Tian has a 1+1 free throw opportunity.

There was a chorus of boos at the scene, and Coach K was roaring loudly on the sidelines.

The referee took a technical timeout to go to the sidelines to watch the video replay.

Tang Tian was also pulled up from the ground by Walker and Lamb at this time, and he shook his hand unconsciously.

At the moment when he was thrown out just now, he remembered that he seemed to have the skill of a flopping actor, and no one said that this could only be used in defense!

The referee watched the video replay over and over again. Kelly was not good at confrontation, and his positioning was not good. Tang Tian's semi-front rush forced him, and finally he threw Tang Tian out of the field.

It's just that Tang Tian's movements after being thrown out were a bit exaggerated, and there was a bit of acting involved.

But that's irrelevant, the foul does exist, and Tang Tian goes to the free throw line.

Tang Tian's free throw opportunity, the Duke fans' boos poured in like a tide.

The players on both sides under the basket are fighting hard for position.

Tang Tian completely ignored all external interference, his heart was as calm as a pool of autumn water.

"Shua!"

Tang Tian's first free throw was steadily made.

The boos at the scene fell.

UConn tied the score.

"One more, one more." Ollie muttered to himself on the sidelines, he seemed to be the most nervous one.

Because of the successful free throw, Tang Tian got a second free throw opportunity.

"Shua!"

Still steadily pocketed.

Adjusting his breathing, Tang Tian's calm heart was completely undisturbed by the outside world!

"He has a super, super big heart. This is a killer." Miller couldn't help but sigh after watching it.

"Like you." Brin said from the side.

Miller laughed after hearing this.

Miller Time, the classic he left in the NBA, he is also a player with a super big heart.

Coach K didn't call a timeout, because Duke had only one timeout left.

"Kyrie! Kyrie!" He just gestured tactics while shouting at Irving.

The last 45 seconds.

Irving dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and directly reached out to call Plumlee out for a pick-and-roll.

Singler, Smith, and Kelly all pulled away outside the three-point line.

The three-point shooting percentage of these three has exceeded 45%, and UConn dare not double-team.

Irving used a crossover after the pick-and-roll, grabbing the gap before Oriakhi pounced, and directly pulled up and shot outside the three-point line.

A simple tactic that couldn't be simpler.

Oriakhi desperately pounced on the interference, his face was strained and he had tried his best.

Irving took a fadeaway three-pointer after a drift in the air.

A super difficult shot.

The ball flew over Oriakhi's head and went straight to the basket.

Fans on both sides held their breath at this time.

"Bang!"

The ball directly hit the backboard. It was obvious that in order to avoid Oriakhi's block, and because he was using a fadeaway, Irving obviously added force when he shot the ball.

After the ball bounced off the backboard, it went directly into the net!

Irving's high-difficulty three-pointer, in!

72 to 70!

Duke took the lead!

"Holy.shit! He f**king made it!" Barkley was stunned at this time.

Irving's three-pointer was simply against the sky!

"This is a Final Four game that will go down in history, no matter what the final result is." Mike Brin also sighed.

"Yes, both sides deserve victory. This is the most exciting game in this year's NCAA, bar none." Kenny Smith also echoed.

20-point reversal, two free throws with a big heart, and an even bigger heart high-difficulty three-pointer quasi-kill.

This is really not a general NCAA-level game, this is completely a battle of gods, and the viewing is even better than most NBA games!
