On March 20, Beijing time, the NCAA march madness ushered in a focus battle, the top seed Gonzaga University encountered the 9th seed Memphis University. In the end, the top seed staged a big comeback, defeating the opponent 82-78, and the champion Heathert Homegren played 29 minutes, 4 of 7 shots, got 9 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks, the performance was mediocre, and he also exposed his biggest shortcomings in the game.
In the first half of the game, Gonzaga University fell behind 31-41 at one point. The top seed trailed by double digits, and the biggest reason was the sluggish state of the big Hotchet Homegren.
In the last game to eliminate 16th seed Georgia State, Homegren shot 8-of-13 and scored 19 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 7 blocks to fill the data field. In the game, he attacked and defended, and showed his talent to the fullest.
Although this 2 meter 16 large man is thin, his athletic ability is amazing. However, in the first half of the match, he was almost invisible on the offensive end.
Back in the second half, Homegren woke up like a dream, hitting two goals in a row to help the team bite the score. One of the dunks was quite wonderful, teammates missed the jump shot, he was unguarded, jumped up and grabbed the rebound in the air with both hands to make up the dunk.
However, Holmgren did not open the attack further after that. And he also exposed his biggest shortcoming, that is, his body is too thin. In the final moments of the second half, Homegren basketed a single defense against the opponent, the physical confrontation was obviously at a loss, was directly hit by the opponent, and completed the dunk. The US media "Bleacher Report" also lamented that Homegren was crushed by the opponent's body. There are also US media to post a video of Ao Fat's violent partition in that year, suggesting that Homegren should gain weight like crazy in the summer, otherwise the opponent who came to the NBA would treat him like Ao Fat did.
