The turn changed, the Hodges attacked, and Selinborg found that the opponent changed his defense.
Curry came to the corner to defend Harmon, and Graves went to Zabian.
But there was still no change in the scene, because the team was still helpless against the Bulldogs' defense.
Zabian did not continue to dribble steadily this time, but passed the ball to Jeff Allen early, otherwise he would appear to be dumb.
Jeff Allen tried to single out Butler, but it was obviously not a wise choice. His mid-range jumper was seriously disturbed and he went out of the frame.
In the penalty area, Lewis fought hard against Drew physically, trying to grab the offensive rebound.
And Drew, as the defender, stuck him firmly behind him, occupying the most advantageous position.
But Lewis immediately discovered that Drew's movements were very strange. He was not rushing to grab a rebound at all, but was pushing back, and the two were getting farther and farther away from the penalty area in the entanglement.
Just when he was wondering, Curry rushed into the penalty area from the bottom line, and with the help of Drew's block, he easily picked off the rebound.
Lewis' eyes widened, full of disbelief.
And this kind of operation?
Just now Drew was already stuck in his position, but he didn't even look at the falling basketball. He focused on fighting him. Instead, a guard from Curry came over from the bottom corner to pick up rebounds.
Isn't this seeking distance?
Selinborg on the sidelines was also a little dazed.
As a coach, he sees the game from a different angle than Lewis.
Just now, after Drew grabbed the rebound, as long as it was passed to Curry, the Bulldogs had another chance to push a fast break.
But Drew deliberately avoided the rebound and gave this rebound to Curry.
Salinberg looked at Zhang Yu in confusion. Is this a new tactic he arranged?
A sense of vigilance rose in his heart, ready to respond at any time.
But in the ensuing game, the Bulldogs did not play any new tricks, but other players took a bit more decisive shots after receiving Curry's pass, and the inside players grabbed a little less rebounds.
As a result, the Bulldogs' offensive success rate has dropped a lot.
After all, many of the players shoot directly and are easily interfered by defenders.
The inside players focused on the card position, let Curry grab rebounds, and also gave the Hodges time to retreat. The Bulldogs were good at fast breaks, which slowed down the offensive and defensive rhythm.
But for the Hodges, the situation has not changed.
Facing the Bulldogs' defense, they still couldn't score consistently.
The Bulldogs missed one shot, and then they missed two shots. Not only did the point difference not narrow, but it was widened again.
With 10 minutes left in the game, the Bulldogs led the Hodges by 60 points 42:18, and the balance of victory gradually tilted towards them.
At this moment, Zhang Yu replaced Ben Slaton, replaced Graves, and put on a double point guard lineup.
Curry also no longer holds the ball, but switches to off-ball offense.
He came out from the bottom line with the help of Campbell's cover, followed by a reverse run, got rid of the chasing Zabian, received a pass from Ben Slaton, and hit a three-pointer.
Salinberg's heart trembled, and what he had been worrying about finally happened.
From the first double-team, he was worried that Curry would switch from holding the ball to not having the ball, so that the Hodges would not be able to defend him in a targeted manner, and Curry could easily score high points.
But Zhang Yu never let Curry change his style of play before, even if he was always double-teamed, he was obsessed with holding the ball, which gradually relieved Salinberg's hanging heart.
He thought that Curry would never turn off the ball again in this game, which is also very good. If you win the game, I will also have face, a win-win situation.
Why did Curry start playing off the ball again?
Salinberg was very puzzled. Since the second half, he has been unable to understand the tactics of the Bulldogs.
He frowned and thought, and subconsciously looked up at the big screen in mid-air, which was replaying Curry's goal just now, next to his data.
"6 points, 14 assists and 12 rebounds, hey, so many assists and rebounds..."
Selinberg muttered to himself, then stared straight at Curry's data column, stunned.
Before he knew it, Curry had a double-double.
brush!
At this moment, after Curry grabbed the rebound with Drew's card position, he got another shot opportunity by running without the ball and hit a super long three-pointer.
Only then did Salinberg realize that Zhang Yu was brushing data for Curry!
I finished scoring assists and rebounds before, and now I'm starting to score.
Is this going to get a triple-double? !
Salinborg was greatly shocked, this is a crazy March [-]-to-[-] match!
You actually let players swipe stats on the field?
Still brushing so efficiently?
He looked at the field, Drew and Campbell formed a circle under the basket, struggling to trap the people behind them, allowing Curry to easily pick up the falling rebound.
And Drew turned his head and grabbed an offensive rebound in the Hodges' half, made a dunk, and knocked Lewis staggered.
Salinberg was so angry that his liver trembled, are you even pretending?
You can't even grab the backcourt rebounds, why are you so active in grabbing the frontcourt rebounds?
He immediately wanted to call a timeout, and he must severely curb this bad trend of brushing data!
But when he thought about Curry's data, Selinborg's face was slumped, and he took back his step.
Curry is about to get a triple-double, and it's too late to call a timeout.
Sure enough, after missing a three-pointer, Curry succeeded in a layup through an air cut and tie rod, scoring the 11th point of the game!
In the ensuing game, Selinborg completely gave up and took advantage of the next dead ball to replace all the substitutes.
I think you still have the nerve to keep Curry on the court to collect data?
He obviously underestimated Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu just did one thing - let the players reduce their defensive intensity.
At this time, the lead of the Bulldogs has reached 24 points, and there are only 8 minutes until the end of the game, and it has entered garbage time.
With the Bulldogs slack in defense, the pace of the game suddenly accelerated, the confrontation was close to zero, the two sides fought each other, Curry continued to score, rebounds and assists also increased.
Finally, at 4 minutes into the game, Selinborg couldn't bear it anymore, and he ordered the players to take the initiative to foul and send Butler to the free throw line.
Zhang Yu could only replace the starters, and only Butler, who had to execute free throws, stayed on the court.
Keeping Curry on the court is too blatant.
In the end, with a missed shot by Julian Beko, the game ended. The Bulldogs beat the Hodges by 83 points 60:23, broke through the best score in history, and entered the Elite Eight for the first time!
After the whole game, Curry made 11 of 6 shots, 7 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 16 points, 15 assists and 14 rebounds. Among them, 11 points were scored in the second half. This is also the first time in his NCAA career. A triple double!
