"Defense! Defense!"

The UConn fans in the arena cheered incessantly.

"Come on! Arizona!"

The University of Arizona fans on the opposite side also shouted in unison.

Whether it was the players on the court or the spectators off the court, everyone was fiercely contesting.

Johnson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Williams, with his back to Tang Tian in the high post, received the ball and continued to pound inside.

Tang Tian braced himself; the intensity of their confrontation was high.

At the low post, Williams turned with force, and Tang Tian was knocked to the ground.

The referee on the sideline still didn't blow the whistle.

A chorus of boos immediately erupted in the arena.

The referee didn't call it in the previous round, and now he's clearly using excessive force in this round and still doesn't call it. This is obviously a "NCAA star whistle"!

After turning, Williams went to the basket for another shot, but this time Oriakhi rotated early to help defend and blocked the shot.

*Pa!*

He slapped Williams' shot right back!

The boos in the arena instantly turned into cheers.

Moreover, Tang Tian had already stood up again. Seeing the ball being blocked out, he quickly grabbed it, raised it over his head, and controlled it.

The University of Arizona's offense returned without success.

Walker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Tang Tian still set a pick-and-roll for him. Johnson wanted to force his way through to prevent the pick-and-roll, but Walker was too fast. He accelerated and squeezed past before the pick-and-roll was fully in place.

Williams tried to pull him back but failed. Walker drove to the inside and, seeing Perry coming to help defend, made a direct pass to Oriakhi under the basket. Oriakhi caught the ball and dunked with both hands!

Oriakhi roared after the dunk. His defense and offense were full of dominance, showing everything he didn't have a chance to show in the previous game!

The University of Arizona fans were in an uproar.

Although Williams scored a goal as soon as he came up in the second half, showing his excellent condition, UConn immediately responded with a 4-0 run!

"Why do I feel like the momentum of the game is a bit off?" Jefferson couldn't help but say after watching these two rounds.

"I have this feeling too. That Tang, I always feel like he's brewing something after mainly defending Williams..." Terry's sixth sense was quite strong.

"Brewing what?" Jefferson turned his head and asked.

Terry shook his head. He just had a feeling, but he couldn't say exactly what it was.

Williams was a little angry at this moment. He was actually blocked by Oriakhi. These things must have been seen by those scouts.

He wanted the ball to continue backing down Tang Tian. This matchup was an advantage for the University of Arizona, and they had to maximize that advantage.

He looked at Oriakhi's position while backing down. Seeing Oriakhi moving to the other side, he turned with force and went towards the basket again.

This shot was obviously more rushed than before, and his elbow also exerted force when he turned.

Tang Tian was directly elbowed to the ground.

*Beep!*

The referee blew the whistle, indicating an offensive foul by Williams.

The UConn fans in the arena erupted with cheers, mixed with boos from the University of Arizona fans.

Williams held the ball and went to the referee to explain, so anxious that he took off his mouthguard and sprayed the referee's face with saliva.

The referee touched his face and gestured for him to back away.

Tang Tian was helped up by Lamb and Walker who rushed over.

He rubbed his elbowed chest and took a long breath.

Finally, he drew a foul. Not easy!

He originally had the acting skill of a flopper, which gave him a 10% higher chance of drawing an offensive foul from his opponent. He thought it wouldn't work the first time, but the second time, with that kind of confrontation, it should have worked. He didn't expect the referee to give Williams some special treatment.

But fortunately, it finally succeeded the third time, and looking at Williams' state, the effect was even better than expected.

What's late may not be bad.

Williams was finally pulled back by his teammates, and the game on the court continued.

In UConn's offensive round, Tang Tian prepared to continue setting a pick-and-roll for Walker.

"Don't switch! Don't switch!" Miller shouted from the sidelines at this time.

After being broken through to the basket by Walker several times in a row, he realized that he couldn't continue switching defenses like this.

Without switching on the pick-and-roll, Fogg went around Tang Tian from behind to continue guarding Walker, and Williams had to wait for Walker to break through.

But at this moment, Tang Tian had already quickly moved to the three-point line.

Fogg successfully went around and stayed with Walker, but Walker had already thrown the ball to the outside.

Williams was running outside at this time, but as Tang Tian had said to Calhoun, he was very slow.

Tang Tian caught the ball, a completely wide-open opportunity.

He had a lot of physical contact with Williams before, so he adjusted his breathing before shooting.

The ball flew out spinning, attracting the attention of the entire audience.

The situation was very tense at this time, and whether this three-pointer went in or not would have a great impact on the situation on the court.

*Swish!*

With a crisp sound, Tang Tian's three-pointer went in cleanly.

The UConn fans instantly erupted in cheers, and the bench also erupted in a frenzy.

After Williams scored that goal to overtake the score, UConn launched a 7-0 run, extending the point difference to 5 points!

"Wow, I like this kid, he's full of energy!" The commentator changed his tune at this time.

"Yes, and he has a big heart!" The commentator also echoed.

Tang Tian changed their views with his actions.

"This kid is not simple. He plays very smartly, and his ability to seize opportunities is indeed very strong." Terry couldn't help but say at this time. Although he was here to support his alma mater, he didn't deny Tang Tian's performance.

"Just lucky." Jefferson disagreed.

Terry smiled and didn't speak.

The game on the court continued. Fogg's three-pointer from the outside didn't go in. Perry grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Williams. Williams continued to play Tang Tian in the low post.

This time he didn't use his full strength, but instead used a turnaround breakthrough after continuous backing.

The situation on the court was unfavorable, and he was anxious to continue scoring for the team.

*Pa!*

But as soon as he turned around, Tang Tian stole the ball!

Williams had been backing down with all his strength before, and Tang Tian could only concentrate all his energy on the confrontation, but Williams wasn't using his full strength at this time, so he also had extra strength.

Williams was slow, and his steal was fast and accurate!

After the steal, he threw the ball to Walker, and then followed up with a fast break himself.

It was a three-on-two in the frontcourt. Walker broke through on the left, Lamb cut in on the right, and Tang Tian followed closely behind.

Walker glanced at Lamb, then turned around and threw the ball to Tang Tian who was following up.

Williams was stunned for a moment after being stolen, and only reacted after a while. Plus, he was slow, so he had only reached the mid-court at this time.

Tang Tian was unguarded. He aimed at the basket before shooting.

As the ball left his hand, the University of Arizona fans' hearts jumped to their throats, while the UConn fans were about to burst into cheers.

*Swish!*

With a crisp sound, Tang Tian's trailing three-pointer went in again!

After his stamina came up, the rate of decline in his wide-open three-point shooting percentage had greatly decreased. Although he had continuous confrontations, he could still maintain a high shooting percentage!
