Johnson came to his senses and went to the referee to explain, but the referee ignored him.

Flopping actor, this skill works great.

Back in the NBA, Varejao's flop had given those superstars a lot of headaches.

Moreover, Johnson really exerted his strength in the last play, and Tang Tian borrowed the momentum just right.

The head coach of St. John's University stood up at the sideline at this time.

"Pay attention to your movements!" He shouted at Johnson, making a "2" gesture while shouting.

Before, Johnson was called for a foul by Walker, and counting the offensive foul just now, he, like Oriakhi, already had two fouls.

In UConn's offense, Tang Tian continued to screen for Walker.

Lamb made the previous shot, and St. John's University's weak side help defense didn't dare to come up again, and Walker successfully got past Diesel and broke into the inside.

The weak side help defense couldn't get over, and Diesel couldn't defend, so Johnson had to go over to help defend.

Walker was quick, and a beautiful through pass was given to Oriakhi under the basket.

Although Walker is short, he is capable. This pass was just right. After Oriakhi caught the ball comfortably, he picked it up and dunked it directly with both hands.

"Boom!"

He had been holding back in his heart after being called for consecutive fouls by Johnson, and he used all his strength for this dunk.

NBA-level arenas are definitely more professional than NCAA gymnasiums. There are professional loudspeakers near the basket, which is one of the reasons why watching NBA games is more comfortable than other league games.

The sound of this dunk was transmitted through the loudspeakers, like a heavy hammer hitting the heart, and there was a burst of exclamation from the scene.

This offense and defense completely extinguished the momentum that St. John's University was about to start!

UConn's bench cheered excitedly, and Napier couldn't wait to jump onto the court.

Walker and Tang Tian's pick-and-roll, Lamb's offensive power, and Oriakhi's dunk, UConn, after a whole regular season of running-in, was finally fully integrated!

St. John's University's head coach frowned. The current situation is very dangerous for the home team.

Conley dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Johnson continued to post up in the restricted area.

He had been called for an offensive foul by Tang Tian before and was also yelled at, and he obviously wanted to prove himself again at this time.

And the deeper meaning is that if he can't even score against Tang Tian, ​​then St. John's University's inside advantage will not be able to be fully utilized.

So he must continue to play.

Tang Tian chose to go halfway around at this time. Although the flopping actor is easy to use, the referee probably won't blow it continuously. After all, from the skill attribute, it only increases the probability by 10%, not 100%.

Conley's high pass to the inside.

This ball was completely predicted by Tang Tian. He directly rushed out from Johnson's side and intercepted it directly before Johnson!

Johnson wanted to grab the ball back, but he was too anxious and made an obvious pulling motion and directly overturned Tang Tian to the ground.

This was a real overturn, and there was a dull collision sound when Tang Tian fell to the floor.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and used his shoulders and back to bear the force together to avoid injury.

Walker and Oriakhi came up immediately, and Lamb and Smith also came over one after another.

Walker directly held Johnson back, questioning loudly.

The players on both sides were a bit tense.

The referee came over in time to separate the players from the two teams.

Tang Tian was helped up by Oriakhi and Lamb, shook his hands, and there was no major problem.

Walker retreated after seeing this, and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Tang Tian felt a little warm in his heart at this time.

This scene reminded him of when Francis stood up for Yao Ming back then. They were also short, and the opponent was also a big center. Ordinary people would not stand up like this.

The referee gave Johnson a Level 1 flagrant foul.

There was a boo from the scene, but the referee did not change the penalty.

The action just now was very dangerous. If he was not careful, Tang Tian might dislocate his shoulder or fracture. Moreover, it almost caused a conflict between the two sides. The fact that Johnson was not ejected from the court with a Level 2 flagrant foul already took the home court factor into consideration.

UConn had a two-shot and one-throw opportunity.

Tang Tian went to the free throw line.

Neither of the two free throws went in. The collision just now had a big impact on him.

UConn continued to have possession.

St. John's University also replaced Johnson, who had already committed three fouls, at this time.

Tang Tian screened for Walker, St. John's University's weak side help defense, this time they also paid attention to Lamb's movement and didn't give him a chance.

But there will always be a leak after the double-team. Tang Tian didn't stand still outside the three-point line, but ran towards Smith's side.

Smith understood and screened.

Walker passed the ball to Lamb, and Lamb passed it to Tang Tian again.

With a beautiful cooperation, Tang Tian got a chance for an open three-pointer.

He adjusted and then shot.

"Swish!"

The three-pointer was made cleanly!

The collision just now had an impact on him, but he recovered slowly without getting injured!

There was an uproar at the scene.

Walker, Lamb, Oriakhi, Tang Tian.

UConn is firing on all cylinders!

In St. John's University's offense, Conley and Diesel's pick-and-roll broke through, and the layup that broke into the inside was directly blocked by Tang Tian. Lamb grabbed the ball and went directly to the frontcourt for a layup.

The momentum has completely shifted to UConn's side!

The emotions of the fans at the scene were a bit complicated.

Although the fans in New York will come to watch the game no matter how the team's record is, they always want the home team to win.

The Knicks didn't have a good record in the past two seasons. They originally wanted to watch St. John's University win. After all, St. John's University won the previous game between the two teams, and it was a big win.

Who would have thought that the situation would be reversed when they returned to their home court...

With Johnson off the court, St. John's University's inside advantage disappeared. Relying on Conley and Diesel alone obviously couldn't shake UConn, let alone UConn was firing on all cylinders and couldn't be stopped at all.

In the end, amid the agitation of the fans at the scene, UConn defeated St. John's University 85-61 on the road, and finished the regular season strongly.

Walker recovered his form, scoring 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists on 11 of 18 shots, Lamb had 13 points and 6 rebounds on 6 of 11 shots, Oriakhi had 12 points and 12 rebounds, Tang Tian had 12 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks on 4 of 5 three-pointers, and Napier also had 8 points and 5 assists.

This is really firing on all cylinders.

At the post-match press conference, Calhoun was also unprecedentedly happy.

"We are ready for the championship." He said without any concealment.

Winning against the nemesis and winning big, and also climbing to the second position in the league, there is no better ending game than this.

Just like Calhoun said, UConn is fully prepared for the upcoming championship game and the tournament!

ps: Let me popularize the NCAA free throw rules for everyone. In fact, they are similar to the NBA rules. A shooting foul will definitely result in two free throws. Only when the cumulative number of fouls (including shooting and non-ball) reaches 7-9 times, the 1+1 free throw rule will be implemented. If the first free throw is missed, there will be no second free throw. If it exceeds 9 times, it will be two free throws.

In fact, it is the NBA rule, but because they don't have the first and second quarters, only the half, so the number of times is more than the NBA's 5 times per quarter. 1+1 belongs to historical reasons. You just need to know, and feel that I am wrong and just watch a NCAA game and you will know.
