This Forward is Not Serious

After landing on the ground, James roared twice excitedly, and then gave a thumbs up in Lin Ying's direction.

What a player with his style of play needs is this kind of teammates who can feed cakes!

The huge sound waves at the scene also put great pressure on Iowa State University.

Another mid-range shot by Taylor after using a teammate's screen ended in a strike.

The NCAA is a student league, and there is still a gap between the psychological quality of most students and professional players.

Just then, Hornacek got up and walked to the sidelines, shouting at the Iowa State players.

It seems that the composition of the coaching staff at Iowa is a bit like that of the University of Texas.

Although Hornacek is just a newcomer, he seems to be the team's first assistant coach.

The University of Texas attacked the frontcourt again, and Iowa State University adjusted its defense method from man-to-man to 2-3 zone defense!

The zone defense tactic is the most used defensive tactic in the NCAA.

The University of Texas usually focuses on zone defense training, so Lin Ying is familiar with this tactic.

Just like the 2-3 zone defense in front of you.

Two players near the three-point line at the top of the arc, and three players on the baseline, forming a 2-3 setup from the three-point line to the baseline.

This is why the 2-3 zone defense is called.

After completing the positioning, these five people automatically divided the rebounding half into five close areas.

Everyone is responsible for their own area, and the defensive center of gravity moves with the ball, always putting pressure on the defense.

There are four types of zone defense, 2-3, 3-2, 2-1-2 and 1-3-1.

Different numbers represent different positions on the field, and also represent different defensive priorities.

The focus of the 2-3 zone defense is to protect the basket.

It seems that James' dunk just now made Iowa State University a little bit unbearable.

But Lin Ying was overjoyed when she saw this.

The University of Texas usually trains zone defenses, so naturally it also trains how to break zone defenses.

The best weapon to break the zone defense is the three-pointer, because no matter what formation the zone defense is in, there are gaps in the protection of the outside line.

As long as there is reasonable scheduling and a stable three-pointer, it is not difficult to break the zone defense.

And that's exactly what the University of Texas has.

In addition to Augustin, who is good at three-pointers, there is... Durant!

Durant is not good at three-pointers, but as a player with historical-level shooting talent, his three-pointers have never been weak.

Since the start of the NCAA, his three-point shooting percentage has reached 40.3%.

Although it is a bit worse than Augustine, it is definitely first-class.

Lin Ying stretched out her hand to make a tactical gesture, and Augustine took the lead to use the cover to move to the three-point line at a forty-five-degree angle.

His running has also attracted the attention of Iowa State's defense.

Compared with Lin Ying, they had a better understanding and preparation for Augustin.

However, after the defensive focus is shifted, their protection against the weak side, that is, the off-ball side, will inevitably weaken.

Durant screened on the baseline and fell to the opposite corner.

Before he ran, Lin Ying's pass was already on the way.

This is the tacit understanding between Lin Ying and Durant.

Durant runs, catches, and shoots in one go.

Iowa State University reacted and had no time to make up the defense.

This is also the biggest weakness of the zone defense. Once the opponent finds an opportunity on the outside, it is basically impossible to advance.

Durant's shooting posture is very standard, and quite stable.

In terms of training volume, Durant has been in the training hall since he was a child, which is far better than ordinary people.

The ball spun through a parabola.

"Shua!"

There is no suspense, the basketball passes directly through the net!

Durant also scored points!

After Durant made a three-pointer, he ran to Lin Ying and gave Lin Ying a high five, with a smile on his face.

Before Lin Ying didn't start, it wasn't that the University of Texas hadn't encountered zone defense, and it wasn't that he hadn't run out of such an opportunity.

But before Randy Williams had the ball, either the ball was slowed down, or it simply didn't come over.

In contrast to Lin Ying's pass just now, not only did it arrive but also carried a little bit of lead, it was really comfortable.

He has regained the joy he had when he played in high school!

The Frank Irwin Center is once again on the boil.

The team's performance tonight gave them an unprecedented sense of strength and a new look!

Barnes had a smile on his face at this moment.

After Lin Ying entered the starting lineup, the changes brought to the team far exceeded his expectations.

Especially when the zone defense was broken just now, it gave him an indescribable sense of comfort.

Of course, what made him so happy was the situation on the court.

After Durant made that three-pointer, the score is now 10-2!

After playing for a while, the University of Texas has already pulled the score to double digits!

And don't say anything about Iowa State being weak.

Before that, they played Texas Tech not much better than Iowa State University!

Taylor's step-back jumper after the breakthrough bounced off the rim and then fell into the net bag, breaking the scoring drought for Iowa State University.

Looking back, Lin Ying found Durant again.

The pass this time is more tacit, because the pass is hitting the ground, and when passing, Durant's position overlaps with the opponent's player and cannot be seen.

But the ball passed, and Durant ran out of position and looked in Lin Ying's direction.

What you see this time is the bouncing ball after hitting the ground.

Catch the ball, take off, and slam dunk with a light two-handed glide!

What the hell is tacit understanding!

The two were not in vain as high school teammates the previous year!

The cheers at the Frank Irving Center couldn't be stopped.

At this time, Barnes even smiled and reached out to stroke his beard.

This is the reaction that people will have when they are happy to a certain extent.

What he saw was not only the tacit understanding between Lin Ying and Durant, but also the compatibility of their technical characteristics!

Durant is best at scoring and shooting off the ball, while Lin Ying is best at organizing passing and spatial ability.

These two are like a match made in heaven, just with...

By the way, just like Conley Oden of Ohio State University!

Barnes is really a little happy. He has already compared Lin Ying and Durant with the most talented twin stars in the NCAA.

But he would never have imagined that Lin Ying's style of play was actually chosen by himself.

When analyzing what style of play he should form, Durant, the strongest teammate, is also one of the considerations.

The game on the court is still going on, and the University of Texas always holds the initiative on the court.

Barnes gave Lin Ying enough trust, and he also gave Barnes enough in return!

His organization and space ability have completely transformed the offense of the University of Texas.

On the other hand, at Iowa State University, it was really Taylor's performance alone.

After the first quarter, the score on the field was 40 to 24, and the University of Texas entered the intermission with a huge advantage of 16 points.

When entering the player tunnel, the players from the University of Texas kept shouting and walked with wind.

The season has been played for more than a month, and this is the first time they have such a comfortable experience!

Back in the locker room, the emotions of the players remained the same, and James even had an impromptu rap to add to the fun.

Just then Barnes came in.

All the team members looked happy, thinking that Barnes should praise them this time.

But what they didn't expect was that Barnes came in to throw cold water.

You can't relax your vigilance even if the game is not over. Iowa State University's tactical quality has always been relatively high.

After finishing speaking and going out, most of the team members showed helplessness.

Randy Williams was right next to Lin Ying and Durant, and he shrugged helplessly facing them at this time.

"The coach is like this. Even if we reached the quarter-finals last year, he reacted like this. There is nothing to make him look happy."

Williams said this, just like Abrams before him, it should be to let Lin Ying and Durant, the two rookies, not care.

After all, the team played such a good situation in the first half, and Lin Ying and Durant were the most critical.

Lin Ying nodded to indicate that she was fine.

When Springman came to comfort Durant before, he mentioned that Barnes asked him to come, and with the words of AJ Abrums, Barnes' image of "a sharp mouth and a tofu heart" Already very three-dimensional.

Durant pursed his mouth.

It seems that this time he also felt that Barnes did something unnecessary.

It's rare for everyone to be happy, such a splash of cold water is a bit of a blow to the morale of the team.

But this is not surprising, Durant's character is very real.

The NCAA intermission is 15 minutes the same as the NBA. Barnes came in and poured cold water on it. After the players chatted for a while, the time was almost up.

After a little exercise to warm up the body, and then shouted the slogan of the Longhorns, the players trotted out of the locker room.

A big fire will not be extinguished by a bowl of water, and the University of Texas is still fighting high.

Back in the second half Iowa State went first.

As soon as he came up, the opponent's power forward cut in to catch the ball and scored a goal.

However, no one at the University of Texas cared about it. After returning from the halftime break, the physical fitness is abundant, and it is normal to score a goal.

The ball was exchanged, and Lin Ying continued to support at the top of the arc.

Durant made a beautiful cut in and out to throw off the defense, and Lin Ying's pass was also given immediately.

Durant raised his hand and shot after receiving the ball.

"Shua!"

The basketball is hollow into the net!

The Frank Irving Center also burst into cheers at the start of the second quarter.

This is the return of halftime, and the offensive continues unabated!

According to this momentum, this game has already been included in the pocket ahead of time!

But the cheers hadn't died down yet, and the power forward cut in from Iowa State University and scored another goal!

This time, not only Barnes looked over, Lin Ying was also full of curiosity.

In the first half, the core of Iowa State's offense was Taylor, and the ball was basically in his hands alone.

Either he scores, or he draws double-teams and hands the ball out to his teammates.

If the teammate can't handle it, the ball will return to him.

This is a typical "being both a father and a mother" style of play.

It's the second quarter, why does the style of play change suddenly?

The University of Texas did not have a wave of offense in the frontcourt. Looking back, Lin Ying focused on the opponent's power forward.

It was at this time that he noticed a very interesting thing, Taylor was actually playing a pick-and-roll for that power forward!

Then, the power forward cuts to the hoop again.

Although he didn't score this time, it still caused Wendell's defensive foul and got two free throws.

Lin Ying stood under the basket, and taking advantage of this time, he went through the running position of Iowa State University just now in his mind.

After that, he found that the tactics played by Iowa State University in the second half can be described in two words: special!

First of all, the initiation of this tactic is very special.

Because Taylor came up and set a pick-and-roll for his partner's point guard at a forty-five-degree angle on the left.

The point guard on the opposite side has a three-point ability. He disassembled and popped out to the outside line, which attracted some defensive attention.

Then, there is Taylor. After the pick-and-roll, he splits and looks like he is going to move to the high post on the right or even the three-point line.

Because at the same time, the opponent's power forward has moved over.

Not surprisingly, this will be a continuous pick-and-roll tactic.

But the accident happened at this time.

Because Taylor didn't run there at all, but directly set a pick and roll for the power forward!

On the one hand, it is rare for a guard to give an inside pick-and-roll;

On the other hand, Taylor is the core of Iowa State's offense, with almost 100% touch rate in the first half.

These two aspects make the University of Texas focus on him from the beginning, and it is easy to miss the power forward!

So the word special is worthy of the name.

The opponent's power forward made two free throws and scored 6 points in a row, becoming the biggest beneficiary of this tactic.

The University of Texas also played wonderfully. James cut in and received a pass from Lin Ying to attract the defense, and then distributed it to Wendell at the basket.

But looking back, Iowa State University used the same tactic again. This time, Texas University's defensive attention was completely diverted by the power forward. Taylor received a pass from the point guard and scored a goal without defense!

44 to 32.

After returning from the second quarter, Iowa State University played a wave of 8-4 offensive, narrowing the point difference to 12 points!

Barnes reached out and called a timeout.

The live camera cut to Hornacek, an assistant professor at Iowa State University.

Because after returning from the second half, he has been directing from the sidelines, and most of this tactic came from him.

In fact, this tactic was learned by Steve Kerr in the Warriors and became one of the classic tactics.

It is also known as the "whirlwind tactic" because he learned this tactic while working on a radio program at Iowa State University.

Of course, it's just that Lin Ying didn't come into contact with this, otherwise he should have been able to deal with it long ago.

After a timeout, Barnes trained the players.

From his point of view, it is obvious that the University of Texas led too much at halftime, and his words were ignored in the midfield, which led to a poor defense.

Springman on the side didn't speak, and seemed to be still thinking about Iowa State's tactics in the past few rounds.

When Barnes finished cursing, the timeout was almost up.

The players were getting ready to play, and at this moment, Lin Ying exchanged a few words with James.

Lin Ying has a withdrawn personality. Don't look at him chatting and laughing with Durant in private, and basically has no communication with other people.

This is also the first time he has actively communicated with James.

James was a little surprised, but after eating the "cake" fed by Lin Ying, he was short-handed and listened carefully.

And what Lin Ying said to him was relatively simple. It was nothing more than that when Iowa State University was playing "Tornado Tactics", the two switched defenses.

The "whirlwind tactic" is easy to use because the guard unexpectedly picks and rolls the power forward.

As long as you realize this, this tactic is not difficult to defend.

Of course, this was also analyzed by Lin Ying.

Because switching defenses involves mismatch defense.

Whether one's own defender can dislocate the opponent's power forward, and whether one's own power forward can defend the opponent's defender, these are points that need to be considered.

Otherwise, even if you switch defenses, the opponent's power forward catches the ball and hits the ball, and the score should still be scored at such a short distance.

The same is true for the opponent's defender. Although the tactics are not directly played out, they have formed small and big, and there are great opportunities to score.

But that doesn't hold true at Texas, because both he and James are defensive enough to deal with the other's mismatches.

Of course, Lin Ying only talked about switching defenses, and James didn't understand what he heard, but he still nodded.

At this moment, Springman seemed to have figured it out, and he called the two of them back to explain the tactical adjustments.

There are not many adjustments, but as Lin Ying said, two people need to switch defenses.

But he spoke more clearly and carefully, and James understood this time.

After he understood, he looked at Lin Ying with surprise.

because……

Lin Ying seemed to have found a solution earlier than Springman?
