The on-site fans were going crazy.

Why were Tang Tian's Open Three-Pointers so accurate?!

Why could he shoot three-pointers so steadily?!

After two straight three-pointers, UConn had stretched the lead to 12 points!

For a team like Georgetown University, with its extremely slow pace, 12 points was already a very difficult deficit to overcome.

This time, the pressure was on them.

The on-site fans were as hyped as could be. Quite a few even stood on their seats and danced Indian dances, already celebrating the team's victory in advance.

Win this game, and they would be second in the Big East Conference!

Win this game, and they would avenge the previous bloodbath at the hands of their opponents!

Win this game, and they would add another bold stroke to the history of the rivalry between the two schools!

Who wouldn't be happy? Who could possibly not be happy?!

Georgetown University's offense continued, with Monroe attacking hard inside. Tang Tian came over to help and double-team him, only to be knocked out of bounds again.

But this time, the referee called an Offensive Foul on Monroe.

After seeing the referee's signal, Tang Tian excitedly punched the floor.

He was completely immersed in the game.

The on-site fans were deeply moved by the sight as well.

In a sense, Tang Tian's tough defense had given this team a grit it had never possessed before.

That was something statistics could never fully reflect.

UConn attacked, but Walker's pull-up Mid Range jumper missed, and Monroe grabbed the Defensive Rebound.

Back on offense, Georgetown University made a tactical adjustment. After signaling for their Power Forward to post up against Tang Tian, the guard bounced the ball inside.

They knew Tang Tian was at a disadvantage physically at the Power Forward position, so they intended to bully him with a bigger player.

Tang Tian lowered his center of gravity as his opponent began backing him down with brute force.

Bang! Bang!

The two engaged in direct physical confrontation.

Tang Tian was on the losing end of the battle, but the disadvantage was not particularly great.

Just as his opponent prepared to drive into him for the third time, Tang Tian suddenly slipped aside with a textbook pulling the chair move.

With no point of support behind him, his opponent's entire center of gravity tipped backward.

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

Another steal!

After the steal, Tang Tian flung the ball to Walker, who took it on the fast break.

Georgetown University got back in time and did not give Walker a direct layup opportunity.

But Tang Tian had followed the fast break after the steal and deliberately created a mismatch with Walker. He now ran to the right side, outside the three-point line.

Walker jumped but had no opening. In midair, he spotted Tang Tian and passed the ball out.

The pass was not particularly good, but after catching it, Tang Tian saw that the defender was still far away. He adjusted before shooting.

The ball traced a spinning arc through the air.

Swish!

Tang Tian's Chasing Open Three-Pointer went in again!

This was his fifth Three-point shot attempt of the game, and also his fifth made three-pointer!

He had not missed a single shot!

"Oh, God! Who can stop him?! Someone, stop him!" Even the commentator was fired up by that shot and could not help shouting.

With 10 minutes left in the second half, the lead had already been stretched to 15 Points!

Georgetown University's Head Coach raised his hand and called a timeout. After calling the timeout, he glanced at the score gap and could not stop shaking his head.

On UConn's side, when Tang Tian came off the court, his teammates all rushed over to bump chests with him, utterly thrilled.

After the timeout, Monroe continued attacking the basket hard. He kept scoring as well, but UConn still gradually widened the gap.

Tang Tian later got two more Open Three-Pointer opportunities, and he converted both of them.

Just as he had told Ollie during the timeout, a Three-pointer would always be worth one point more than a two-pointer.

With a little over two minutes left in the game, Monroe was substituted out by Georgetown University, signaling that they had given up in advance.

As Monroe left the court, he received wave after wave of applause from the crowd.

He put up 28 Points and 16 Rebounds in this game, another dominant stat line. But unlike their previous meeting, UConn won this time—and it was a big victory!

In the end, UConn routed Georgetown University 78-60 at home. They claimed their ninth straight win and proudly rose to second place in the Big East Conference!

When the UConn players left the court after the game, they received hero-like cheers from the entire arena.

This was an absolute classic worth remembering.

For UConn, Walker continued his steady play, posting an eye-catching 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists. Lamb added 11 points and 5 assists, while O'Riaqi contributed 9 points and 12 rebounds, nearly a Double-Double.

But the most eye-catching player in this game was undoubtedly Tang Tian. He scored a season-high 21 points, along with 5 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block.

What was even more outrageous than the statistics was that he had taken only 7 shots all game, going 7-for-7 from outside the three-point line!

Godlike numbers!

At the postgame press conference, Cahoon brought Tang Tian along once again.

Compared to previous games, this was probably the time when there was the least controversy and the most anticipation from the reporters to see Tang Tian.

Sure enough, the moment Tang Tian appeared, flashes erupted throughout the room. The reporters had long been unable to wait.

"Tang, you scored a career-high 21 Points. Even more incredible, you only took 7 shots and went 7-for-7 from outside the three-point line. How did you do it?" The first reporter to stand up did not even follow convention and question Head Coach Cahoon first. Instead, he went straight to Tang Tian.

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

He was telling the complete truth. The Open Three-Pointer package depended on tactical support and passes from teammates. He had merely made all the shots.

The reporter could not help smiling after hearing that. It was true, but saying it like that gave it an entirely different flavor.

"You didn't miss a single three-pointer tonight. Is your open-shot Shooting Percentage 100%?" The reporter played along and continued asking.

"No." Tang Tian shook his head.

"Only 97%," he answered honestly.

According to the system's settings, it was 97%, and it would keep declining with the loss of stamina, all the way down to 50%.

As for why it was 97%, Tang Tian felt that the system was completely messing with him.

Back when Novak was still playing for the Rockets, a reporter interviewed him after a training session and asked how his shooting touch had been that day. He answered that it had been average—he had only made 97 out of 100 shots, which happened to be exactly a 97% Shooting Percentage.

That incident had sparked quite a bit of discussion among fans at the time. The system had most likely referenced it.

Not 100%, but only 97%?!

Tang Tian had told the truth, but when the reporters heard his answer, they all froze.

Was there even a damn difference?!
