Single Defense (Tony Allen) is a purple skill that directly reduces the opponent's shooting stability by 20% and has a certain chance of stealing the opponent’s ball.

But in reality, its foundation is to improve the owner in all aspects such as reaction, speed, and prediction, so that they have nBA's top single defense capabilities.

Tang Tian’s body is not as strong as Tony Allen’s, which prevents him from exerting 100% of the skill’s power. This is also the reason why he couldn’t completely restrict Walker in the previous training game, but it’s more than enough to deal with Butler in his nCAA period.

After being forced to stop again, Butler chose to turn around and shoot a fadeaway.

Tang Tian stretched out his long arms and pressed forward, giving enough interference.

"Bang!"

His shooting was not very stable in the first place, and with a 20% reduction in shooting stability, the ball steadily hit the front edge of the basket.

Tang Tian turned and grabbed the defensive rebound.

A burst of cheers suddenly erupted from the audience.

Tang Tian successfully defended Butler again!

This is really a series of surprises!

Tang Tian used to be a coach, and he really does a good job with some details. After taking the rebound, he directly held the ball over his head.

Butler wanted to steal but failed.

Calhoun breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines at this time.

Basketball IQ can indeed make up for a lot of things. When Tang Tian was on the offensive end, he deliberately stayed far away from Walker, so that the opponent didn't notice that he couldn't score at all. The changes he brought to the team on the defensive end were qualitative.

Walker’s shot under the frontcourt double-team didn’t go in, and Oriakhi used his height to grab the offensive rebound again.

"Pass to Jeremy!"

Just as Oriakhi was about to force another shot, Tang Tian shouted at him.

As a coach, he is too good at observing the situation.

Lavoie Allen is obviously a short and stout type of inside player. He doesn’t do a very good job protecting rebounds, but he has a long wingspan and is very intimidating when defending in the restricted area.

Oriakhi is tall and can grab offensive rebounds, but it is very difficult to force his way past him.

Walker’s previous breakthrough had already restrained Marquette University’s defensive attention, and Lamb was unguarded on the outside at this time.

Oriakhi turned his head after hearing the shout and passed the ball out after seeing that Lamb was indeed open.

Lamb received the ball, Marquette University’s help defense came over, he used a fake shot to deceive the defender, and took a step forward for a mid-range shot.

"Swish!"

A crisp sound.

Lamb’s shot also went in!

Connecticut’s offensive continued unabated. After a 6-0 run, they had narrowed the point difference to only 5 points!

Calhoun's frown disappeared at this time, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Old man, don't you think he looks more like a coach?" Ollie couldn't help but said at this time.

"An 18-year-old coach?" Calhoun asked with a smile.

Ollie shook his head. Coaching takes time and experience. There is no such thing as an absolute genius.

"Then his basketball IQ is really a bit unusual." He thought for a while and said.

Calhoun nodded.

Many things in basketball can be practiced, but some rigid things cannot be practiced, such as height, wingspan, and basketball IQ.

A player with a high basketball IQ can survive even if his physical fitness is poor, and even make a world of his own.

The most typical example is Steve Nash. If it weren't for his high basketball IQ, it would have been impossible for him to become the "Son of the Wind" who dominated the league with his physical confrontation.

Marquette University did not call a timeout, it seems that their coach prefers the players on the court to solve the problem themselves.

The ball reached the frontcourt and transitioned to Butler, he did not force another attack, but gave the ball to Allen and let him single out Oriakhi.

Allen seemed a little excited after receiving the ball.

He was originally a freshman recruited by Connecticut in the summer, but he was not valued by Calhoun at the beginning, and Connecticut was in turmoil, so he chose to transfer.

Now he is doing well at Marquette University, and at this time he naturally hopes to perform well in front of Connecticut fans and prove how wrong their old man was not to reuse him!

His wingspan and speed are his advantages. He forced Oriakhi to retreat with a fake move forward, and then directly took a sudden mid-range shot.

This shot was a bit sudden, Oriakhi's speed was slow, and it was too late to pounce forward after retreating.

"Swish!"

Allen's mid-range jump shot went in again.

Allen seemed a little excited after scoring, pounding his chest and roaring at the audience.

The audience was in an uproar.

Allen was just a substitute at Connecticut before! Now he has become a starter at Marquette University and has already scored 6 points before the end of the first half!

nCAA only has 20 minutes in each half, and the clock doesn’t stop after a score except for the last two minutes of the second half and overtime, plus the offensive time for one possession is 35 seconds instead of 24 seconds, the score is generally low, and 6 points in the first half is already a pretty good performance.

Calhoun's face became a little ugly, Allen was slapping him in the face!

"Stick to him! Stick to him!" Ollie also felt a burning pain on his face and shouted loudly at Oriakhi.

Oriakhi lowered his head, showing obvious frustration.

Tang Tian took the initiative to run to him at this time.

"Lavoie likes to shoot mid-range jumpers, so you should focus on defending his shots." He reminded.

What Ollie said was actually correct, but his approach was too rude and he didn't explain at all, so Oriakhi couldn't understand it at all.

"He is faster than you, but he is much shorter than you. If he chooses to break through you, you can still catch up and help defend." Tang Tian added after finishing speaking.

Oriakhi was a little confused by Ollie's scolding, but after hearing what Tang Tian said, he suddenly felt enlightened.

He nodded, and the confident look on his face returned.

Although Tang Tian is a freshman, he speaks gradually and it is easy for him to accept.

In Connecticut's offense, Walker looked for Oriakhi's pick-and-roll, broke through and attracted a double-team, then forced a shot and drew a foul.

After making both free throws, Connecticut continued to maintain a 5-point difference.

"Stomp, stomp!"

"Defense!"

"Stomp, stomp!"

"Defense!"

Connecticut and Marquette University were evenly matched in this period, and the emotions of the fans at the scene were also very high. Under the leadership of the dj, they cheered for the home team.

Marquette University advanced to the frontcourt, and at Butler's instruction, the guard passed the ball to Allen at the free throw line again.

Allen was a little excited.

He didn't expect that he could also become the team's main point of attack. As the saying goes, a tree dies when it's moved, but a person lives. His choice was really too wise!

Oriakhi was sticking to him very closely at this time, and he couldn't force him back with his continuous probing steps.

This guy’s reaction is quite fast, but don’t think that just because he likes mid-range shots, he can only shoot mid-range shots!

He will beat Oriakhi today to prove how wrong the old man Calhoun was!
