Chapter 78

North Carolina players became demoralized by Curry's successive three-pointers.

They were weak in the next round of offense, and when the 35 seconds were about to run out, it ended with Ty Lawson throwing an iron mid-range shot.

Looking back, Danny Green and Marcus continued to double-team Curry, but their enthusiasm was significantly reduced.

Curry didn't force the defense of the two men, but gave the ball to Ben Slaton, and he ran without the ball.

He first cut to the inside, then ran back to the top of the arc, using the "elevator door" tactic, let Drew and Butler help him block the chasing Danny Green, received a pass from Ben Slaton, and was unguarded. In the case of another three-point shot!

brush!
The crisp and pleasant sound of brushing the net sounded, and the basketball entered the net hollow again!

51: 44.

"Curry scored another goal! The Bulldogs lead to 7 points! He destroyed every defense you can think of. Opponents tried to stop him, but he still put the ball in the basket again and again. He was in the second half. Extraordinary performance, which I have never seen before. After this battle, Curry's name will be known to everyone in the United States!" Jim Nantz praised.

Round transition, North Carolina offense.

But they seem to have suddenly become unable to play, looking at the basketball timidly, passing the ball back and forth on the outside like throwing the pot.

In the end, Hansbrough reached out for the ball and leaned on Drew to score the ball.

51: 46.

Looking back, Curry advanced with the ball.

"Defend up, defend up!" Roy Williams yelled.

Danny Green and Marcus heard the words and mentioned a position two meters beyond the three-point line. At this time, Curry had just passed halftime.

He chewed on his braces, dribbled the ball in a leisurely manner, and kept his eyes on the basket.

Danny Green seemed to realize something, and quickly raised his right hand to meet him.

But Curry didn't even look at him. He took a step forward, facing Danny Green's defense, and directly shot a three-pointer!

Danny Green tried his best to reach out, but it was still a little bit short. He didn't touch the basketball, but touched Curry's wrist, and he also hit Curry's body.

Curry was still in the air, and after being hit like this, he fell straight backwards.

"Di-"

The referee was near the center line and could see clearly, so he decisively blew his whistle.

At the same time as the whistle sounded, the basketball flew a long distance and fell into the net.

Curry got a 3+1 chance!
He stood at the free throw line and scored easily amidst the cheers of the whole court.

Not only the Bulldogs fans, but also many North Carolina fans were impressed by Curry's performance and shouted wildly for him.

55: 46.

The Bulldogs went from trailing by 13 points to overtaking by 9 points in just 6 minutes.

The fighting spirit of North Carolina players was completely defeated.

In the ensuing game, they were like walking dead, their movements were weak, their legs and feet seemed to be filled with lead, their offensive end was disorganized, their defensive end responded negatively, and the score was also opened by the Bulldogs.

Only for Curry, the North Carolina players are still resolutely double-teaming.

As long as Curry has the ball, they are frightened. As long as the ball is not in Curry's hands, it is easy to say.

Killing and punishing one's heart, that's all.

And after the outburst just now, Curry's touch has also dropped. He simply handed the ball to his teammates to play, and he was happy to be a space point.

Roy Williams walked back and forth on the sidelines, shaking his head constantly:

"It shouldn't be, it's wrong to play like this, how can you shoot like this..."

There is no timeout available in the hands of the old man.

He could only watch in pain as his disciples' faith was crushed by Curry with an unreasonable three-pointer.

It's really unreasonable.

Since Roy Williams became the head coach in 1973, he has seen countless talents and experienced countless fierce battles, but for the first time, he knew that basketball can still be played like this, and three-pointers can still be shot like this.

In his basketball world, "he who wins the inside wins the world" is the truth, and the meaning of the existence of the three-pointer is to open up space for the stars.

And Curry actually defeated his team with a three-pointer.

1 person, 6 minutes, 28 points.

At 15 minutes into the second half, the score became 69:52, and the Bulldogs led North Carolina by 17 points. It can be said that the overall situation has been settled.

One minute later, seeing the lack of confrontation in the game, Zhang Yu simply called a timeout and replaced all the starters.

Roy Williams did not hold on any longer, and replaced the substitute tacitly, and the game entered garbage time.

In the end, after 4 minutes of substitute chaos, the game came to an end.

"Let us congratulate the Butler University Bulldogs, who beat the North Carolina Tar Heels 77:60 by 17 points and reached the Final Four for the first time in history! Curry played a soul-stirring epic battle. A game that will always be remembered. Their semifinal opponent will be the winner between UCLA and Xavier University. The game will be held on April 4th in San Antonio, Texas. I will also commentate at that time. Everyone is welcome to watch then!" Jim Nantz made a final conclusion in a cadenced manner.

On the big screen in mid-air, Curry's data table was also displayed in due course - 22 of 13 shots, 19 of 11 three-pointers, including 7 of 1 three-pointers in the first half, 12 of 10 three-pointers in the second half, and 3 free throws 3. He scored 40 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, not only leading the game, but also leading March Madness.

Just 6 minutes before the second half, Curry blasted 9 three-pointers, including a 3+1, scoring 28 points, which really explained what explosive scoring is!

Zhang Yu came to the technical stage and shook hands with Roy Williams.

Although North Carolina lost, the old man was very personable:
"Congratulations, young man, your team deserves this victory even more!"

"North Carolina is also very strong." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

Roy Williams sighed:

"At the beginning, Curry's first trial training was in North Carolina, but I...hey, let's not mention it, I am biased, Coach Z, my vision is not as good as yours."

There was deep regret in his voice.

Facing the legendary head coach, Zhang Yu also respectfully said modestly:

"You can just call me Ronan... Stephen's talent is indeed hidden a little deeper, I'm just lucky."

Roy Williams shook his head in disapproval:

"Don't be humble, your defensive tactics are in place. The No. 33's defense is really tough. It seems that you are very good at discovering young players... And if you didn't specially conduct double-team training, who would win? It's not known yet... I'm old, the future belongs to you young people, Ronan, go and win the championship!"

The old handsome blinked mischievously, showed a slight smile, turned and left, leaving only a vaguely audible exclamation:
"The future is terrifying..."

　Thanks to Pippi, Jiang, Canghai Yulingfeng, fggjj, and Wang Xiaoming who passed by for remembering the monthly pass for me, Fading Soot, Cracking Wind and Frost, and Yinghua on the other side!
