Chapter 29: The Best Downs

It is not too surprising that Wisconsin's predecessor is the first to win. After all, he is also the No. 3 seed this year, and there is absolutely no big gap compared to Kentucky's hard power, but the next game made the scene a little out of control.

Looking back, the Harrison brothers cooperated to the Wisconsin penalty area, and Aaron Harrison's basket was directly rejected by Lin Sen's powerful big hat.

"Aaron is a little too underestimated Lin. This tough layup should not be his style. Wisconsin's defense of reaching the semi-finals this year is a great contribution. Didn't John let Kentucky players know about Wisconsin, a freshman who debuted halfway through the road? Can you hand that damn ball to KAT?" O'Neal was a little dissatisfied with Kentucky's random offense. The Harrison brothers were indeed the heroes of last year, but in the face of Kentucky's talent this year, these two defenders should hand over more shots.

"These two teams are obvious three-high teams. Such a breakthrough of the Big Spurs is a disaster-level performance. Wisconsin and Kentucky both have three forwards close to 210cm. Perhaps this seems a bit counter-trend in the NBA, but in the NCAA field, without defense for 3 seconds, this three-high tactic is really excellent in protecting the penalty area." Kenny Smith, as a veteran, is also the most advanced commentator among them who understands the team's tactics, and he easily pointed this out.

Back in the Kentucky half, Linson pulled out of the penalty area, Kaminsky hit Caulisten in the inside, and the success of the continuous offense greatly increased Wisconsin's confidence. Koenen, on the outside, also made three shots, and the 7-0 start to directly shock Kentucky, a team that intends to create history.

John Calipari quickly called a timeout. Although Kentucky has achieved historical defense and historical record, the current Kentucky tactics are not his most skilled DDM tactics. He needs a top breakthrough defender to drive the team. The Harrison brothers are obviously not such a player. Devin Booker on the bench is talented enough, has strong shooting skills, and has excellent skills. But the biggest problem is physical confrontation, and it is difficult for him to break through and enter the inside to complete the pass.

"KAT, killing that Chinese center is best to let him return to that damn bench." As an experienced coach, John Calipari could easily see that most of Wisconsin's position defense relies on the Chinese center. As long as he gets off, even if Wisconsin's offense is smooth, he will never escape the fate of losing.

After returning to the court, Towns immediately received the ball in the first round, of course, at the outside edge of the penalty area. Without hesitation, he directly started to break through three big steps. Lin Sen was not at a disadvantage in terms of speed. He would not let Towns break through to the penalty area so easily.

However, from the beginning, Towns had no intention of rushing into the penalty area. He only needed to break through to the edge of the penalty area, separate Lin Sen with his left hand, and hit the ball with a one-handed layup with his right hand.

After hitting this ball, the Kentucky fans who had been holding it in for a long time went crazy. In this venue, Kentucky fans were more crowded than Wisconsin. Coupled with the previous aggrievance, the voices became louder after the explosion, but these sounds were extremely harsh in Lin Sen's ears. This was Kentucky's cheers and a mockery of his defense.

Wisconsin did not maintain his excellent feel after the timeout. Decker failed to hit a three-pointer, and after Kentucky's offense came back, he still gave the ball to Towns.

This time, Towns did not choose to break through the face frame, but began to crush Lin Sen step by step. In terms of physical confrontation, Towns obviously has an advantage over Lin Sen. One step or two steps, he directly ate from near the free throw line to the extremely deep area of ​​the penalty area. Then, the moment he turned around, he applied a powerful force to directly push Lin Sen away, and directly jumped and completed a dunk with both hands.

"Hey! Charles, don't you look down on KAT's physical confrontation? In my opinion, these are absolutely fine." After Towns scored 4 points in a row, O'Neal, the hardcore fan of Towns, has already started to brag.

Barkley looked at his usual archenemy O'Neal's excited look now but couldn't find anything to refute him. He couldn't blame him. After all, O'Neal couldn't help but be excited when he saw a super center model appearing in the NBA again. The current rules and tactics are too unfriendly for the center, and now it seems that there are only two people who have the opportunity to become a super center, Cousins ​​and Towns, who are about to enter the league.

Towns' continuous scoring forced Wisconsin to start helping Linsen to help defend. Towns' offensive threat is too great. Linsen has to admit that even though he is doing his best, he is still being pressed on the basketball court with his talent overflowing on the defensive end.

With Towns' outstanding performance, Lin Sen was suppressed and he had no time to help the rest of Wisconsin defend, and Towns in front of him alone was enough to give him a headache.

"Damn it!" Seeing the score difference gradually narrowing, and Towns' hook under the rebound reached 16:17 in the original 7:0 game, and was overtaken by Kentucky by one point. More importantly, in this hook, Lin Sen was extremely eager to defend this goal and let him get the second foul in the game.

Being replaced for granted, Lin Sen could see his obvious loneliness when he returned to the bench. Even the high-fives with Bo Ryan seemed weak. Except for the first game with Marquette University, Lin Sen had not been beaten so badly at 1V1 on the defensive end. He had already thought about how miserable he was on Yang Xin's live text broadcast against Chinese fans. There was no need to say much. Just looking at the data, you knew that he was beaten up.

"Lin, cheer up and have a good rest. Your rest time is only 3 minutes." Bo Ryan knew that the situation was serious on the court, Linson's foul trouble, and the trend of falling behind on the court was not good news for Wisconsin.

Without Linson's limitations, Towns even made a request on the court. Hayes, who came on the bench, could not get to the pace of Towns. Towns also fully demonstrated his talent in organization to all the scouts present.

The consecutive passes were given to the two brothers Harrison to complete layups. Without Linson's three Wisconsin highs seemed to have only stared at such a back-run layup. At the beginning, the momentum of 7:0 was completely gone. This villain of Wisconsin seemed unable to stop the birth of Kentucky, a historical superhero. Kentucky fans felt very lucky that they had the best Towns.
