The yellow storm in the NBA

During the halftime break, the head coach of Southern California tried his best to think of a way to restrain Durant and Quan Xiao at the same time.

In a one-on-one situation, no one in your team can freeze either of the two. If there is a double team, unless you are allowed to have seven people on your side, you can't even think about it. Then you can only place your hope on the two of them.

One of them scored hard while taking a break.

When you find that there are loopholes in the defense no matter how you do it, you simply decide to focus on offense in the second half. Use offense against offense to see if you can suppress the opponent offensively. After all, in a basketball game, the winner is the one who scores more points.

As for the Longhorns, if it's their offense, they really have no one to fear. First of all, Durant's offense is really bug-like at this stage of the NCAA, not to mention that there is Quan Xiao who is on par with him.

With the existence of these two people, even if the others are weaker in attack, it will not matter to the overall situation.

At the beginning of the second half, the two teams started an offensive battle. Southern California still focused on the inside attack, supplemented by the outside. After all, any NCAA team at this stage will suffer from the outside in front of the Longhorns.

The Longhorns' interior line is notoriously weak, so if you don't seize the opponent's weakness and beat the coach to death, you won't have to mess around.

In the same way, Coach Barnes makes a fuss when he realizes that the opponent's outside strength is not as good as his own. Durant and Quan Xiao are the main players, and Augustin is the supplementary player. He constantly attacks the opponent's inside line.

These three people all have strong breakthrough capabilities, so Southern California's inside line was not able to do well under their turns of attack. Each of them suffered at least three fouls, which also made them avoid throwing traps and did not dare to defend anymore.

If you go all out and shrink back, you will naturally be unable to defend against Durant and Quan Xiao's attacks.

Eight minutes into the second half, the score reached 71:59, and the Longhorns were already 12 points ahead of their opponents. In these short eight minutes, the two teams scored 22 points and 16 points respectively, playing a very exciting game.

Confrontation battle.

There were many wonderful dunks and dazzling three-pointers, which delighted the audience on the sidelines and in front of the TV.

Of course, it also consumes a lot of physical energy. When the score reached more than 10 points, Coach Barnes called a timeout and he wanted to make a rotation.

The main players have barely had much rest until now. If they don't rest, even if they win this game, their performance will be affected in the future, so the gains outweigh the losses.

Again

It can be said that the lead is relatively large now, and it can withstand a small splurge. Coach Barnes replaced all four starting players except Quan Xiao.

Durant's main attack was really exhausted during the first half. Pittman, as a meat shield center, played almost no role in the offensive battle during this period. He just kept running back and forth, wasting energy.

It's better to replace him and let a faster and more flexible substitute center come up, who may be able to provide some help on the offensive end.

At the same time, after replacing Augustin, Quan Xiao was moved to the point guard position, allowing Quan Xiao to fully control the ball. At the same time, he began to press the attack time appropriately, trying to consume 30 seconds of each attack time.

Above. (Note: The NCAA implements a 35-second offensive system, which makes it easier for players to play according to the coach's tactics.)

On the other side, USC was in dire straits, so even though Gibson had committed three fouls, he stayed on the court, replacing the main center who had already committed four fouls with another frontcourt player.

In addition, he also replaced his main shooting guard. The shooting guard who started today was the previous substitute. Because he was better at defense, he was sent to guard Quan Xiao throughout the game. However, he was still out of breath and exhausted even now, without him.

, Quan Xiao is really good at running.

It is well known in the team that Quan Xiao's physical fitness is good, which is also the most enviable point for Durant. Compared with offensive skills, Durant thinks that he is not inferior to Quan Xiao or even better, but compared with strength,

When it comes to speed and physical prowess, Durant is ashamed of himself.

Therefore, people often doubt whether Quan Xiao is a yellow person. It is true that they have never seen a yellow person with such an excellent physique or even a perverted yellow person. Because in everyone’s impression, yellow people cannot physically compare with black people.

When it comes to black people, they are much worse off than white people.

However, Quan Xiao is an exception. His physical talent is the best in the entire team. I even dare to say that there are few people with better physical talent than him in the entire NCAA.

After the game restarted, the two teams continued to attack. Durant's dismissal had a great impact on the Longhorns, which allowed Southern California to carry out unscrupulous double-teaming tactics against Quan Xiao, which to a certain extent curbed the Longhorns' offense.

.

The shooting guard replaced by Southern California was at a time when he was full of energy. Moreover, he was originally the team's starter and his offense was stronger. Under the circumstances, the score between the two teams was slowly getting closer.

But no matter what, Southern California was never able to catch the score within 5 points, and always stayed at 5 points to 7 points.

Keep wandering between points.

At this point in the fight, Coach Barnes no longer held back and allowed Quan Xiao to fully unleash his offensive firepower. Only then did people discover that there was another person from the Longhorns who was actually so aggressive and was no match in terms of offense.

Is Durant bad or not?

The scary thing is that the Longhorns, who are hiding something, actually achieved a record of 32 wins and 3 losses before. If there is no reservation, can they win completely?

Quan Xiao's full play prevented Southern California from narrowing the score any further. Whenever USC chased the score to 5 points, Quan Xiao used a response ball to widen the gap again, either a three-pointer or a three-pointer.

breakthrough.

In any case, Southern California was unable to break through the 5-point difference threshold. After repeated attempts several times, the Southern California players on the court almost suffered a psychological collapse. Durant also got more rest time to recover his strength.

In the 15th minute of the second half, when Southern California once again chased the score to 5 points, Coach Barnes replaced Durant and Augustin. This substitution showed that he wanted to have a decisive victory with Southern California.

Lost.

On the other side, Southern California also put on its strongest lineup in an attempt to make a final impact. At this level of the game, there were no tricks, it was just head-on. The last few minutes were extremely intense, with both teams playing hard.

Use all your strength to attack and defend, and the intensity of the confrontation becomes more and more intense.

However, after all, the Longhorns have superstar-level players who can make the final decision, and there are two of them.

Therefore, although Southern California tried its best in the last five minutes, and every player gave 120% of their efforts, they ultimately lacked talent, and the score became wider and wider, and was pulled further in the last minute and a half.

After opening for more than 10 minutes, I had no choice but to give up and replaced all the main players.

After Coach Barnes saw that the other team had replaced all the main players, he also replaced all the main players on his side, allowing the substitutes from both teams to play the last minute and a half of the game.

At 89:81, the Texas Longhorns finally won the USC Trojans by 8 points. In the whole game, Kevin Durant scored a double-double with 27 points and 11 rebounds.

Sting also had a near-double-double with 17 points and 9 assists.

But the best performer was Quan Xiao. In this game, Quan Xiao broke the seal and scored 32 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and only 2 turnovers.

After this game, Quan Xiao's reputation will definitely reach a higher level.
