The fans in the arena were going absolutely wild.

Why was Tang Tian's open three-pointer so accurate!

Why could he shoot threes so consistently!

After two consecutive three-pointers, UConn had extended their lead to 12 points!

A 12-point lead was already a significant deficit for a team like Georgetown University, which played at an extremely slow pace.

The pressure was now on them.

The fans were ecstatic, with many even jumping up and down in their seats, doing the "Indian dance" and celebrating the team's victory in advance.

If they won this game, they would be second in the Big East Conference!

If they won this game, they would get revenge for being crushed by their opponents before!

If they won this game, they would add another glorious chapter to the history of rivalry between the two schools!

Who wouldn't be happy! Who wouldn't be thrilled!

On Georgetown University's offensive end, Monroe continued to drive hard in the paint. Tang Tian went to double-team him this time and was knocked out of bounds.

However, the referee called Monroe for an offensive foul this time.

Tang Tian excitedly punched the floor with his fist after seeing the referee's signal.

He was completely immersed in the game.

The fans in the arena were deeply moved by this scene.

In a way, Tang Tian's tough defense had brought an unprecedented toughness to the team.

This was something that statistics could not fully reflect.

On UConn's offense, Walker's mid-range pull-up jumper missed, and Monroe grabbed the defensive rebound.

After bringing the ball up the court, Georgetown University made a tactical adjustment. After signaling for their power forward to post up Tang Tian, the guard passed the ball into the paint.

They knew Tang Tian didn't have an advantage in physical matchups against power forwards and intended to use their player to overpower him.

Tang Tian lowered his stance, and the opponent directly drove into him with his body.

"Bang! Bang!"

There was direct physical contact between the two.

Tang Tian was on the lower end of the contact, but the disadvantage wasn't significant.

Just as the opponent was about to exert force for a third push, Tang Tian suddenly executed a perfect "pulling the bench" move and sidestepped.

The opponent's force lost its anchor point, and his entire center of gravity shifted backward.

Tang Tian suddenly lunged forward and poked the ball out of his hands.

Another steal!

After the steal, Tang Tian tossed the ball to Walker, who was leading the fast break.

Georgetown University's defense retreated in time, preventing Walker from getting an easy layup.

However, Tang Tian was trailing on the fast break after the steal and intentionally created a mismatch with Walker, running out to the three-point line on the right side.

Walker jumped but had no opportunity. Seeing Tang Tian in the air, he passed the ball.

The pass wasn't of the highest quality, but after Tang Tian caught the ball, he saw that his defender was still far away. He adjusted and took the shot.

The ball arced through the air in a spinning trajectory.

"Swish!"

Tang Tian's open transition three-pointer went in!

This was his fifth three-point attempt of the game and his fifth three-point make!

Not a single miss!

"Oh! God! Who can stop him?! Someone stop him!" The commentators were also excited by this play, shouting uncontrollably.

With 10 minutes left in the second half, the score had been extended to 15 points!

Georgetown University's head coach called a timeout. After calling the timeout, he couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the score difference.

Meanwhile, on UConn's side, as Tang Tian came off the court, his teammates rushed up to him for chest bumps, incredibly excited.

After the timeout, Monroe continued to drive hard to the basket, scoring frequently, but UConn continued to widen the gap little by little.

Tang Tian subsequently got two more open three-point opportunities, and he converted both of them.

As he had told Ollie during the timeout, a three-pointer is always worth one more point than a two-pointer.

With just over 2 minutes left in the game, Monroe was substituted out by Georgetown University, signaling their early concession of the game.

Monroe received a round of applause from the crowd as he left the court.

He had scored 28 points and 16 rebounds in this game, another dominant performance. But unlike their previous encounter, this time UConn won, and by a landslide!

In the end, UConn crushed Georgetown University at home with a score of 78 to 60, securing their ninth consecutive win and proudly ascending to second place in the Big East Conference!

As the UConn players left the court after the game, they were met with heroic cheers from the entire audience.

This was an absolute classic battle worth remembering.

For UConn, Walker continued his steady performance, scoring an impressive 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists. Lamb contributed 11 points and 5 assists, while O'Riaqi had a near double-double with 9 points and 12 rebounds.

However, the player who shone the brightest in this game was undoubtedly Tang Tian, who scored a season-high 21 points! He also added 5 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block.

Of course, what was even more astonishing than the stats was that he only took 7 shots the entire game, going 7-for-7 from three-point range!

Stats like a god!

At the post-game press conference, Cahoon once again brought Tang Tian to the podium.

Compared to previous games, this was probably the least controversial and the one reporters were most eager to see Tang Tian at.

As expected, the moment Tang Tian appeared, he was met with a flurry of flashing camera lights; the reporters were already impatient.

"Tang, you scored a career-high 21 points, and what's even more incredible is that you only took 7 shots, and all of them were from three-point range, 7-for-7. How did you do it?" The first reporter to stand up didn't even follow the usual protocol of asking the head coach, Cahoon, first, but instead directly asked Tang Tian.

"I just took the shots. Kemba, Jeremy, they found me when I was open, and I just made those shots," Tang Tian said calmly.

What he said was the absolute truth. Open three-pointers rely on tactical support and teammates' passes, and he had simply made all of them.

The reporters couldn't help but chuckle after hearing his response. While it was the truth, saying it like that made it sound completely different.

"You didn't miss a single three-pointer tonight. Is your open-shot percentage 100%?" The reporter played along cooperatively and continued to ask.

"No," Tang Tian shook his head.

"Only 97%," he replied honestly.

According to the system's settings, it was 97%, and it would continue to decrease with stamina depletion, all the way down to 50%.

As for why it was 97%, Tang Tian felt it was entirely the system's mischief.

Back when Novak was playing for the Rockets, after a training session, a reporter interviewed him and asked how his shooting felt that day. He replied that his feel was average, making 97 out of 100 shots, which calculated to exactly a 97% shooting percentage.

This incident had caused quite a stir among fans at the time, and the system had likely referenced it.

Not 100%, but only 97%?!

Tang Tian was telling the truth, but when the reporters heard his answer, they were all stunned.

What the hell, is there a difference?
