This Forward is Not Serious

"Defend! Defend!"

This dunk ignited the emotions of the University of Texas fans on the sidelines.

Amidst the shouts, the players from the University of Texas struggled to defend against a wave of offense from the University of Kansas.

Then, there was a wave of fast break with lightning speed.

Augustin stepped on the hot wheels and flashed to the frontcourt, and scored the ball against Robinson's defensive fast break.

And that's not even counting.

A wave of Kansas offense caused a foul, and Robinson made one of two free throws from the free throw line.

Looking back, the University of Texas continued to play the triangle offense.

This time it was Wendell who received Augustin's second point and put it under the basket to score!

9 to 5!

You may not believe it, the University of Texas, which was rubbed on the ground at the beginning of the last game, is now playing on par with Kansas!

No, gain the upper hand! !

The cheers of the University of Texas fans on the sidelines could not stop!

They are excited!

They have seen the team's hard work and progress in the past two months!

It feels like planting a seed in spring and harvesting a pair of peaches in fall!

"Charles, it seems that they are better than you imagined."

Kenny Smith said with a smile.

There was a hint of appreciation in his laugh.

Two months can master the triangle offense to this extent, and the performance of the University of Texas is worthy of his previous evaluation.

Barkley didn't speak, but touched his chin with doubts.

The triangle tactics played by the University of Texas was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

Not only this effect, but also this way.

It was nothing like the Bulls and Lakers he remembered.

Those two teams gave him the feeling as he said before, that is, to give the ball to Jordan or O'Neal and Kobe to play singles.

But Durant hasn't scored yet at the University of Texas!

They got 9 points, 5 points from Augustin, 2 points from James, and 2 points from Wendell.

If you didn't watch the game, you would have thought you were playing Princeton!

But it's not his fault.

Because his perception of the triangle offense is exactly the same as Lin Ying's perception after watching the Lakers and Bulls video before.

This involves the version of the triangle offense.

The same triangle offensive tactic, Old Winter is version 1.0, and Phil Jackson is version 2.0.

When Barkley played in the NCAA, the old Winter had already gone to the NBA, and then he had only seen the 2.0 version of the triangle tactic in the NBA.

There is a big difference between the two versions.

As for why there are two versions, it is not an update or upgrade, it is simply because the environment used is different.

The biggest difference between the NCAA and the NBA is player dominance.

No matter how strong the players are in the NCAA, because of the relationship between age and playing experience, their dominance cannot reach the level of the NBA, and the matchup advantage will naturally not be as obvious as in the NBA.

Therefore, the 2.0 version emphasizes the creation of singles opportunities for core players, which will significantly increase the success rate of round attacks.

The 1.0 version pays more attention to the advantage of the position.

The result is that the tactical end point of the 1.0 version is not the core of the team like the 2.0 version, but may be anyone.

This is why Barkley has the Princeton illusion.

What Princeton pays attention to is sharing the ball, and whoever has the opportunity will take the shot.

In this regard, the two tactics are somewhat similar.

What? Didn't Durant score more?

That's because the opponent was not strong before, and the University of Texas' "low-post singles" was enough to deal with it.

In that tactic, Durant is the terminator of the offense.

Self frowned at this moment.

Just because Barkley hasn't seen it doesn't mean he hasn't seen it.

In fact, when he was an assistant coach, he played against Kansas State led by Old Winter many times.

He feels more like Kenny Smith now.

How did these guys master the triangle offense to such an extent in two months?

While speaking, the University of Texas played another beautiful triangle attack, and this time it was Lin Ying who ended it.

After both the strong side and the weak side attracted Kansas' defensive attention, Lin Ying, who was holding the ball, had a chance instead.

Because of his fear of passing, Kansas' defense against him was more focused on cutting off the passing route, so that they all ignored his three-pointers.

Naturally, Lin Ying would not miss such an opportunity. Before Self got up to remind him, he had already made a three-pointer.

Shooting depends on practice, and with the increase in the amount of training, his certainty is even higher than in the last match!

"Shua!"

There was a crisp sound.

A three-pointer went through the net!

12 to 7!

The University of Texas opened the score to 5 points!

The cheers of the University of Texas fans sounded again at the scene.

The score is constantly increasing, they are going to win!

Even some fans had a feeling in their hearts: Kansas, it turned out to be nothing more than that!

There were two waves of offensive misses on the field, and Self reached out and called a timeout.

His face was livid.

The last time they played against the University of Texas's substitute, he almost overturned him, and now they suppressed them at the beginning of the second match.

Putting aside tonight's victory and defeat, according to this rhythm to the league playoffs, they may be eliminated by the University of Texas?

If that was the case, his Kansas career would be over!

"Do you remember that kid?"

Over the commentary booth, Smith suddenly spoke.

"who?"

"Lin, that Chinese player, if I remember correctly, the kid's name is this. I asked you to watch him play last time."

Kenny Smith looked at the Texas bench as he spoke.

He didn't notice Lin Ying at the beginning of the game, but he couldn't do without paying attention until now.

Because Lin Ying's presence is too strong.

Scores are not the only thing that can give people a sense of presence on the basketball court, especially for professional basketball commentators like them.

"He played smart."

Barkley paused and gave an evaluation.

Kenny Smith had asked him to go to a Texas game, but he didn't.

With so many explanations, what they said is more salty than ordinary people. If you do everything, you will be exhausted.

But watching Lin Ying play on the spot tonight, his feeling is still very intuitive.

Several beautiful passes, and the three-pointer just now, are really impressive.

Of course, his impression so far is only this.

The basketball system in the United States is sound, and the model is very similar to the college entrance examination in China. A large number of people will be eliminated at each stage.

But the final selection was several times more cruel than the college entrance examination.

Because there are tens of thousands of players at draft age every year, but only 60 are finally selected by the NBA.

In addition, there are still a large number of overseas players.

It is an understatement to say that the difficulty is that thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge.

Lin Ying's current performance has nothing to do with the NBA.

The timeout between the talks has expired, and the players from both sides have returned to the field.

There are no adjustments in the lineup on both sides.

But if you look closely at the expressions of the players on the field, you will find that the expressions of the Kansas players are a little dignified.

They shouldn't have had a hard time with this suspension in the past.

Timeout came back to Kansas to go first.

At this time, it is no longer Chalmers holding the ball, but Robinson's organization.

Compared with before the timeout, the changes that can be clearly felt are that Kansas has more off-ball moves, more passes, and a slower rhythm.

As a result, Texas' defense is starting to lag a bit.

The NCAA takes 35 seconds to make an attack, a full 11 seconds longer than the NBA.

More time means more possibilities, and more difficulty defending.

And in a slower pace, the high tactical quality of the University of Kansas is fully reflected.

A large number of anti-runs and air cuts, that kind of execution is really not comparable to the current University of Texas.

Grabbing an off-ball switch from the University of Texas, Wright received a pass from Robinson from the bottom line and ended it with a two-handed dunk.

This ball excited the Kansas fans at the scene.

Especially the faces of some old fans turned red.

They will not lose to a group of rookies at the University of Texas!

That is the pride in the bones of the giants!

Back on the defensive end, the University of Kansas also continued to show their changes.

The triangle offense of the University of Texas is still very good, but this time, whether it is the strong side or the weak side, they failed to form a good scoring opportunity.

It's not that the defensive ability of the players in Kansas has suddenly become stronger, but that their defensive focus has increased and their execution has also become stronger!

To give a very simple example, it is still the same tactic as the last round. James cuts to catch the ball and would have faced an empty blue.

But this time when he cut in again, the person who double-teamed Durant in Kansas had retreated to the basket!

The result is that James' finishing ability is not enough, his shots are interfered, and the University of Texas' offense returns without success.

And this is not a matter of one round, it is the way Kansas played all the time in the rest of this quarter.

Lin Ying's passing is still very beautiful, and the University of Texas's triangle tactics are no problem, but players are always interfered when they make shots.

And Kansas is playing harder and harder.

At the end of the hit, the University of Texas tactics played out, and the chance ball was obviously a second before, and when the person who had the chance received the ball, the chance was gone!

This also caused the University of Texas' offense to fall into a quagmire. The leading advantage was eroded, until it was tied, and then overtaken.

After the first half, the score on the court was 33 to 27.

Kansas in turn leads the University of Texas by 6 points!

In the first half, everyone realized the true strength of this NCAA giant.

Otherwise, how do you think they rubbed against the University of Texas, which owns the Trident, last year!

Although none of the talents of Daniel Gibson, PJ Tucker and LaMarcus Aldridge can match Durant, they are three after all!

And they weren't freshman rookies like Durant Linying at the time!

After the first quarter, the game entered the intermission.

Players on both sides walked from the player tunnel back to the locker room to recuperate.

The faces of the University of Texas players couldn't hide the disappointment.

As Barnes said during the mobilization before the game, for today's game, they have made double efforts in the past two months.

But now they still can't beat Kansas!

How hopeless it feels.

Lin Ying was also a little confused.

Not to mention their respective efforts, just two months to master the triangle tactics, they have already achieved things that ordinary people cannot do.

According to his analysis, they already have a chance to challenge Kansas and even win.

But the reality in front of me is so cruel.

After returning to the locker room, Barnes and Springman went to discuss how to play in the second quarter. After the players sat down, no one spoke.

The usually lively locker room was rarely quiet.

"Are you playing 123 wooden figures?"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the locker room, followed by hearty laughter and a familiar face.

The man who came was PJ Tucker.

This joke caused a burst of laughter from the old players, and the dignified atmosphere in the locker room became a little lighter.

"Randy, they're stronger than last year."

Tucker looked at Williams with a smile and said.

"Brandon isn't up yet."

Williams nodded, got up and shook hands with Tucker and bumped his shoulder, and then said with a little helplessness.

As an old player of the team, he knows the strength of this Kansas team too well.

That's why Barnes yelled at the freshmen, and he immediately introduced Kansas to the freshmen.

That is a wave of vaccinations in advance.

It's still the same sentence I said before, the weak defeat the strong, and the following defeats the superior. These are very passionate things in competitive sports.

But most of the time, those are just plots that exist in novels or movies.

A real strong player, when you play against him, you know why he is so strong, just like the second half of the first half tonight.

"But I don't think there's no chance tonight."

But Tucker's words were a little different from what he thought.

"In fact, your performance kind of scares me."

Tucker continued.

His words changed quickly, and the eyes of the team members were also attracted by him.

Lin Ying also looked up.

His previous knowledge of Tucker was limited to a few previous games and media reports.

Shoe king, tough guy, this should be his and most people's impression of Tucker.

But now it seems that Tucker should have been the locker room leader of the University of Texas before.

"You played better tonight than when we played them in the finals, Randy, you should feel it too?"

Tucker glanced at Williams again as he said this.

Williams nodded again.

Although this team is worse than last year's team in terms of experience, it is better in talent, and the triangle offense really adds a lot to them.

Trailing a stronger Kansas half at halftime by only six points, they couldn't do that with last year's team.

"I thought there was a chance in the second half."

Tucker repeated what he had just said.

And this time after finishing speaking, he turned his attention to Durant.

"It's mostly up to you, Kevin.

You have the best talent out there, but you haven't shown it yet, have you? "

ps: The two chapters have been updated continuously, and last night it took more than 2 hours to change to 1 o'clock. I hope the new book will not leave any regrets.

Well, as I said before, because it is not a systematic novel, Lin Ying's starting point in the NCAA will not be very high, so you can read this book as a double protagonist in the early stage.

What, who is the other protagonist? So handsome, do I need to say?
