This Forward is Not Serious

Durant nodded after listening, Lin Ying's mind is really good.

After resting, they went out of the arena to find something to eat, and when the team bus arrived, they followed into the arena together.

Barnes cooked a thick chicken soup for them every day before the game, and the players rushed straight to the game with enthusiasm.

The Allen Arena was packed at this time.

Although the performance of the University of Texas has been mediocre since the start of the game, it is the final team of last year's Big 12 Championship and Kansas's old rival.

And Durant's reputation is not small.

When the team was introduced before the game, the season performances of Chalmers and Durant were displayed on the TV screen.

Chalmers averaged 14 points, 4 assists and 3 steals per game, and Durant averaged 21 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.

The data looks very different, but it actually represents the characteristics of the two teams.

Kansas has a lot of guys who can play and score averagely.

As for the University of Texas, it basically depends on Durant scoring points alone.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams came out one after another.

Kansas, Russell Robinson, Chalmers, Darnell Jackson, Julian Wright, Sasha Cowan.

For the University of Texas, Randy Williams, AJ Abrams, Damai James, Durant, Wendell.

"Longhorn!"

The University of Texas players folded their hands and yelled slogans before going on the field.

Whether there is a chance to reach Crazy Three or even go further, the answer will be available after this game!

Wright and Durant jump ball at midcourt.

Wright's physical talent is very good, with a height of 2.03 meters and a wingspan of 2.16 meters, and he is especially able to jump.

However, in front of Durant's 2.08 meters height and 2.28 meters wingspan, there is a feeling of being crushed by talent.

Durant jumped up and turned the ball back half court, Williams controlled the ball, and Texas got the first chance to attack.

The first attack of the University of Texas is of course to find Durant.

Durant received the ball in a high position, and Wright's defense was very tight. He didn't have a chance to make a shot, and he feinted and broke through with the ball.

The choice of the ball was correct, but Kansas reacted very quickly, shrinking collectively almost instantly.

Durant fell into a heavy siege at once.

Just like what was shown in the new and old student match, Durant's ability to handle the ball in double teams is relatively poor.

He failed to pass the ball, but chose to stop and shoot.

It's just that he was surrounded heavily, and there was a lot of confrontation underneath, and his shooting point was too low.

"Snapped!"

As a result, he was directly overwhelmed by Wright!

The Allen Arena was boiling instantly.

Although the jump ball did not skip, but this block can burn more than the jump ball!

Lin Ying frowned at this moment.

It is difficult for Wright to cover Durant one-on-one, but Durant needs to consider too many things in the double-team, which gave Wright a chance.

But this is not the reason for his frown, the real reason for his frown is Kansas' tactical quality.

Earlier, he saw that the Kansas training was just the tip of the iceberg. Compared with Kansas State and Missouri, which he had played against before, Kansas was much stronger.

The University of Texas retreated fairly quickly, which did not give Kansas a chance to make a fast break.

Falling into position, Chalmers gave the ball directly to Wright in the low post.

Wright hits Durant one-on-one, gives a confrontation, and turns around for a close-range hook.

Durant didn't have the upper hand in the confrontation, and it was too late to block the shot after losing his defensive position.

"Shua!"

The ball scraped the edge of the rim and fell into the net pocket.

Wright hit Kansas' first pitch of the night.

The Allen Arena was boiling again, and some fans even stood up and cheered with their hands up the moment the goal was scored.

There is a certain gap between Wright's performance in his freshman season and their expectations. You must know that the fans' expectations of him are at the NCAA star level.

However, Wright made great progress in his sophomore year.

Especially in the past offense and defense, Wright completely suppressed Durant, which can be regarded as realizing the talent of the former McDonald's high school students.

And this also brought out Wright's confidence. He returned to the defensive end and started to confront Durant physically. Durant couldn't catch the ball.

Abrams came out to catch the ball at the end, and he was very fast, rushing from the Kansas double team to the basket.

But it's a pity that Kansas has a big center Cowan standing under the basket.

Cowen covered the sky with one hand, and Abrams' layup failed to make progress in the end.

And Kansas once again showed their excellent tactical quality.

When Abrams rushed inside, others knew that Cowan could hold the basket and turned around to prepare for a fast break.

Chalmers was already past the halfway line after Cowen got down and got the rebound.

With a long pass, Chalmers got the ball and evaded Williams' steal, rushed to the front court and scored a fast break layup!

4 to 0!

The opening situation was completely one-sided.

Whether it is player talent or tactical literacy, Kansas is at least one grade better than this University of Texas team.

After playing for more than four minutes, Durant hit a difficult three-pointer against Wright from outside the three-point line to open the scoring for the University of Texas.

But at this time the University of Kansas has scored 10 points.

Look at it, it's somewhat of a dimensionality reduction attack.

But this is actually quite normal.

Like Randy Williams said, most of the main Kansas team stayed after last year.

This means that in addition to talent and tactical literacy, the tacit understanding is also far behind the University of Texas.

The best team in the Big 12 league.

And like the previous two games, Texas' defense was terrible.

Durant's body is still too thin to play the fourth position, and Abrams is also a cash machine.

To use an inappropriate analogy, the University of Texas is a dam with two mouths broken.

Even if Wendell and James' defensive ability is not bad, but it is impossible to make up for this gap and miss that gap.

Almost 10 minutes into the first half, the score was 20-5.

This score is a bit exaggerated.

Barnes called Lin Ying and Pittman up with a serious face.

The two came on to replace Durant and Wendell.

When Durant was off the field, he habitually high-five Lin Ying, but his face was expressionless.

Lin Ying didn't say anything. What he was thinking about now was how to bring the situation back a bit.

It is a bit unrealistic to talk about winning now, but if the situation is brought back a bit, the reversal is not completely impossible.

Before he and Pittman came on, Texas already had other rotations.

The current lineup on the field is Augustin, Tool Man A, James, Lin Ying and Pittman.

The substitution came back, and the University of Texas had the ball.

Augustin organized a wave, but as before, Kansas's tactical quality is too high, and the University of Texas' tactics can't escape the opportunity.

Augustin saw it and shot directly outside the three-point line.

At this moment, Kansas's two main guards have already rested, and his opponent on the court is backup point guard Sheron Collins.

Collins is only 1.78 meters tall, shorter than Augustine.

But his reaction was not slow, and he also interfered with Augustine when he took off.

"when!"

Augustin's three-pointer failed to hit.

And the ball was a long rebound, and Darrell Arthur threw it directly to Collins after getting the rebound.

Collins has also been prepared for a long time, grabbing ahead of time, and after receiving the ball, he rushed to the frontcourt and scored a fast break layup.

22 to 5!

The point difference has come to 17 points.

Allen Arena has been completely boiled.

They knew that the University of Texas was weaker, but they didn't expect it to be that weak!

Barnes reached out and rubbed his forehead, his face was indescribably ugly.

In fact, not to mention Barnes, most of the University of Texas players were stunned by the current situation in the game.

The gap between ideal and reality is like a blow to the head.

Augustin took the ball to the frontcourt, a little unsure of what tactics to play.

At this moment, Lin Ying took the initiative to move to a high position, made a gesture for him to break through, and then directly raised it to the pick-and-roll.

Augustin was in a state of disorientation. When this pick-and-roll came up, he plunged in without thinking about holding the ball.

Kansas's contraction is still very fast, and Augustin is basically blocked when he breaks into the free throw line.

Fortunately, his ability to handle the ball in double teams is much better than Durant.

Before being double-teamed, he observed his teammates' running positions, and then noticed that Lin Ying bounced out after the pick-and-roll, and at this time he was falling outside the three-point line.

After a summer of training, he certainly knew that Lin Ying could shoot three-pointers.

So after realizing that he was double-teamed, he immediately returned the ball to Lin Ying at the top of the arc.

Lin Ying got a very good chance for an open three-pointer.

However, Kansas's reaction was really fast, Arthur pounced on Lin Ying almost immediately.

Kansas is ready!

Then, Lin Ying passed the ball!

If Lin Ying's three-pointer was already expected by Kansas, then this pass was definitely an accident.

The object of Lin Ying's pass is Pittman under the basket.

After receiving the ball, he turned around and put the ball into the basket.

After finishing scoring, he pointed at Lin Ying with a smile on his chubby face.

Lin Ying is usually taciturn, but because the three of them have trained together for the whole summer, this kind of cooperation no longer requires communication.

The reason why Lin Ying didn't shoot the three-pointer had other considerations besides Arthur's quick jump.

With Pittman on the court, his movement speed is a huge disadvantage.

He also said that he made a three-pointer and said that if he fails to make a shot, there is a high probability that he will be hit back like before.

Even if the first wave of fast break defense is down, the University of Texas will fall into a 4 defense and 5 situation in a short time, and the defense is still very difficult.

Unless it is really a big gap to invest in, he will not shoot rashly.

A simple tactic, but with a lot of data analysis, this is Lin Ying's current way of playing.

22 to 7.

There is still a 15-point difference on the field.

But after breaking the scoring shortage, it is obvious that the morale of the University of Texas players has picked up.

The change brought about by the recovery of morale is that the defensive enthusiasm of the University of Texas has also returned.

Although, they still failed to prevent Collins' breakthrough.

Collins and Augustin have a lot in common, both freshman and undersize.

But what makes him better than Augustin is his breakthrough ability, and his footsteps have the taste of an ankle terminator.

Augustine was passed by him almost instantly.

However, he didn't choose to shoot. Instead, he rushed to the basket, took the initiative to confront Lin Ying and then shot.

So far, this has been expected by the Kansas fans in the field.

This is also the way they are familiar with Collins.

Although only a substitute, Collins relies on excellent ball control and outstanding confrontation ability.

So far this season, he has averaged 11.5 points per game and is the sixth man in this Kansas team.

"boom!"

But the next second, the fans at the scene were stunned.

After calmly scoring without the expected confrontation, Collins' goal was taken!

"How...unbelievable!"

The ball surprised even the home commentators.

Because Lin Ying didn't jump very high, but took Collins' confrontation hard, and then spotted the shot and blocked the ball.

This sentence does not talk about the scene, but it sounds very calm.

In fact, this is true. Lin Ying probably knows more about Collins than the coaching staff at the University of Texas.

After all, Collins is also a player who has played in the NBA in history.

And as mentioned earlier, Collins is the sixth man in Kansas. It is not difficult to find out the opponent's playing style in advance through Durant to get some Kansas game videos.

After all, the definition of data is very broad, he is not just numbers.

Photos, videos, and video recordings are all in the data category.

Collins has good ball control and strong confrontation, but poor shooting, so he likes to break through to the basket and use physical confrontation to create shooting space.

This is what Lin Ying analyzed.

Of course, to cover the ball just now, you must have a foundation, and the most basic thing is confrontation.

When Collins rushed up to fight, it was comparable to loading a motorcycle at full speed, and it was difficult for ordinary college players to withstand.

Then there is the judgment of the timing of the shot.

Thanks to Collins' unfamiliarity with Lin Ying, he was blocked without warning.

At this time, James rushed over and flew to grab the blocked ball, and dribbled the ball directly to the frontcourt.

His fast break is very fast.

"Boom!"

After passing the defense of the Kansas players in a row, he rushed to the frontcourt and took a step into the air, directly blasting the frame!

The person named James is not necessarily LeBron, but the physical talent must not be bad!

The dunk set Texas' bench on fire.

The team members got up and shouted, they were completely different from the dejected ones in front of them!

At this time, Barnes turned his head and looked at Springman, and then both looked at Lin Ying on the field in unison.

Although they played only a few rounds, they could clearly feel the changes in the situation on the field.

Or to put it another way, Lin Ying has the ability to influence the game.

This has already been reflected in the previous game against the University of Missouri.

Now facing the stronger Kansas, the more unfavorable situation made Lin Ying's ability more obvious.

This is commendable for a college player!

Barnes turned his head and glanced at Durant who was shouting the most vigorously from the sidelines.

Lin Ying and Durant are high school teammates, what will happen if they are arranged together on the court?
