Shouldn't give up!

These words seem to be flattery slapped on Durant.

But it's true.

Texas University played well in the first half, but Durant's performance was only average.

He only scored 8 points in the first half, which is obviously not enough for a player who averaged 27 points per game.

"Kevin, you need to stand up and hit some that may not be so good."

After laying the groundwork for a while, Tucker finally said what he wanted to say.

After hearing what Tucker said, most of the people in the locker room nodded.

The triangle tactics of the University of Texas in the first half were no problem.

The problem is that, with the defensive execution of Kansas University, they will not get the easy chance to score at the beginning.

Lin Ying also nodded.

What else do superstars do if tactics can solve all problems?

Basketball is a sport. Talented people can do whatever they want.

For example, do you really think that Jordan alone can practice to that extent?

Or do you think the so-called "Dream Dance Step" is Olajuwon's patent?

Those are all illusions!

In fact, it's just that they have used their outstanding talents to maximize that technique.

That's why Yao Ming said, "He can dance in the big dream, but he can't achieve the speed of Olajuwon."

Kansas' execution and tactical literacy are too high.

Once they are serious, it is difficult to create a good scoring opportunity by relying on a two-month old quick triangle tactic.

What you can get is mostly a fleeting shot of space.

Or as Tucker said, it's some that don't have good chances.

No one, except Durant, is very sure about that kind of ball.

Because at the University of Kansas, in addition to execution and tactical literacy, the players' personal abilities are also high.

So at this time, Durant is the only way to solve the problem.

"I see."

Although Durant did not understand as much as Lin Ying, he knew that Tucker's reminder was correct.

He is the man who wants to be the first man in basketball, and he must stand up for this critical game.

While they were talking, Barnes and Springman had been standing at the door for a while.

After they finished talking, some team members found them.

"PJ," you say.

Springman saw that he was found, and he came in and greeted Tucker with a smile.

Tucker also smiled and turned around to greet the two coaches from the past.

Barnes' rare smiling face

Tucker is no longer his player, and he has entered the NBA with a different identity.

Of course, there is a very important point. He and Springman in the office are still thinking about how to boost the morale of the team.

It's all right now. The former captain of the team got this deal done ahead of time.

And what Tucker said is very close to what they discussed in the office.

After recounting the old story, Tucker left the locker room first.

In the following time, Springman also talked about the team's second half adjustment.

The University of Texas will use the 2.0 version of the triangle tactic in the second half to create more opportunities for Durant to shoot and score.

With Tucker's foreshadowing, it is easier for the players to accept this adjustment.

When Barnes was almost done, the players got up and prepared to return to the game.

At this time, they suddenly discovered that Tucker was still at the door of the dressing room.

When they went out, he pulled Lin Ying aside.

Lin, can you win the ball tonight? Except for Kevin, the second most important thing is you. You must feed him the ball as comfortably as possible. Only you can do it. "

Lin Ying had a puzzled face, but after listening to Tucker, he nodded seriously.

He is now sure that what Williams said before is true.

And you need to do more on the defensive end. Now the score is behind, and offense alone can't win the game. "

Tucker added.

Lin Ying nodded again.

He can feel it. Tucker really wants the University of Texas to win once.

This kind of sentiment is easy to understand. Tucker has entered the NBA, and it is impossible to have another chance. If they could watch Lin Ying win once, it could be regarded as making up for the regret.

After the exchange, Tucker went back to the arena with them.

The emotions of the fans on the scene were not diminished, and the fans at the University of Texas pulled up more banners and KT boards.

"Charles, do you think the University of Texas still has a chance?"

The second quarter of the game is about to start, and the commentary is finally talking about the game.

The topic of the players was almost the same in the first quarter. If you don't talk about the game, you won't be able to talk about it anymore.

"There is a gap between the strength of the two teams, but if Durant can score more points in the second half, they will have some opportunities."

Buckley is more objective this time.

Because of the triangle offense, he is a bit biased against the University of Texas.

But that prejudice has been eliminated by the University of Texas in the first half.

"Then do you think Durant can get more points?"

Smith asked.

Barkley froze for a moment, then laughed.

I did not answer, but the answer has already been given.

From the perspective of Kansas' defensive strategy in the first half, their defensive strength against Durant is not low at all.

Durant's low score is not only related to the University of Texas' own offensive tactics, but also to Kansas' defensive tactics.

Or in layman's terms, the game tonight is different from the game before the University of Texas.

It's not that Durant wants more points; he can get more points!

Kenny Smith can certainly see this.

However, in addition to talking about some topics, he also has something to do with the mental outlook of the University of Texas at halftime.

In particular, the way Durant rubbed his hands and jumped on his feet made him feel a kind of vigor that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Although, in terms of the performance of both sides in the first half, Kansas is significantly stronger.

But perhaps because of that, he has expectations for the second quarter of the two sides.

The break time is up, and the two players are back on the court.

There were no adjustments to the lineups on either side.

Whether there will be any changes in the game depends on the performance of the second half!

The University of Texas first attacked in the second half.

Augustine advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. The University of Texas still has a triangle offensive formation, but there are new changes in the triangle composition.

Durant was originally down in the first half, and Lin Ying and Augustine formed a strong side triangle.

But now, Wendell fell low, Durant fell to the weak side, and they did not participate in the triangle formation.

This is a bit surprising.

Including the commentary side, Kenny Smith and Barkley are also confused.

Looking at this posture, is the University of Texas preparing a way to go into the dark?

But soon, they found out that they had been cheated.

Or to use the words in basketball, they were given a false shot.

After Augustine moved to the bottom corner in accordance with the requirements of the triangle tactics, Lin Ying made a pass to the low post but did not pass in.

Just when Kansas thought Lin Ying was hesitating, Durant moved from the top of the arc to the right without anyone paying attention.

Then the pick-and-roll happened at a position near forty-five degrees.

Lin Ying took the ball and turned around. After giving the ball to Durant, he went over and made a pick-and-roll.

The evolutionary tactics of low-post offense require the weak side players to complete the offense.

The Triangle offense has four basic offensive tactics, but it is by no means only four tactics.

This is one of the main points that Old Winter and Lin Ying said.

Kansas City, once again, couldn't cope with this fight.

Although Wright changed defense and made up, Durant had already completed the shot as soon as he received the ball.

And the key is his shooting height, not to mention that Wright has no time to pounce at this time. Even if it is too late, it is difficult to interfere.

In the stands, Tucker couldn't help drooling after seeing this scene.

This talent has an overflowing screen!

Wait! "

Durant didn't have any softness, and he moved the knife from outside the three-point line to help the University of Texas open the scoring in the second half!

This ball also excited the University of Texas fans on the sidelines.

They also realized in an instant that Durant hadn't played very well, and the rhythm of shooting in the second half was about to explode!

But as soon as their cheers fell, the University of Kansas turned around, and Chan Moss made a three-pointer from the outside!

responseball!

What's so special about being an NCAA star player?

In this NCAA arena, he is the strongest group in existence.

And after returning to the defensive end, Kansas' defensive focus is clearly on Durant.

Self is still experienced, but he has already judged the intention of the University of Texas in one round.

Then this kind of defense tactic naturally becomes simpler.

All the bells and whistles are useless; just stare at Durant!

This defensive strategy is also very successful. Lin Ying and Durant are playing the same tactic. Kansas immediately let him go to pin down Durant.

Durant's current pass is his weakness. When he returns the ball to Lin Ying, Kansas' defense has gone back!

"I'm starting to like Kansas."

In the commentary, Barkley couldn't help but speak.

When a player is good, you would say that he has excellent talent, rich experience, excellent psychological quality, and so on.

And when a team is excellent at trying, in addition to those, what you can see is its discipline and execution.

Kansas is a typical representative.

Not only do they have outstanding personal abilities, but they also have top-notch discipline and execution.

There are not many times when Barkley can evoke such feelings.

The strength of this Kansas team is really strong!

The University of Texas offense returned without success, turning back Kansas' frontcourt and causing a wave of kills and getting two free throws.

Then they succeeded in limiting Durant's ability to catch the ball again, and James' shot to the basket was outrageous.

The University of Texas once again fell into a scoring drought!

On the bench at the University of Texas, Barnes stretched out his hand and vigorously rubbed his face.

He has done what he should do and what he can do.

But the disparity in overall strength between the two teams made him somewhat helpless.

But at this moment, Springman got up and walked to the sidelines, stretched out his hand to signal the team to adjust the defensive tactics and, at the same time, raised the decibels to remind the players of their defensive positions.

Although the pressure given by Kansas also made him feel desperate, unlike Barnes, he has been training with Durant Lin Ying for the past two months.

He knows how much they paid for today's game!

The game should not end like this!

Texas University put out a 3-2 zone defense, and Springman's yelling made them show more defensive focus.

The key to breaking the zone is to fight more locally, and of course, the University of Kansas also knows this.

However, Brandon Rush was waived for the game, and the University of Kansas had insufficient outside shooting ability.

Except for Robinson and Chalmers from outside, the remaining three have no outside shooting ability.

So it is not so easy to break the 3-2 defense of the University of Texas.

After trying an outside tactic to no avail, Chalmers broke through with the cover.

In addition to the zone defense being afraid of playing more and less, and the local outside defense being weak, the biggest weakness is the basket.

This is a defensive tactic that focuses on the front line.

Chalmers quickly broke through to the basket, and only Wendell, who guarded the basket, was left in front of him.

He was very confident, took the initiative to post and confront Wendell, and then used the reaction force of the confrontation to complete the shot by turning sideways.

This ball is a board game, and he controls the center of gravity of the body very well in the air.

Tens and nines are sure, and it is enough to be selected for today's five best balls. But!

Before the ball climbed to the highest point, a long arm swept across his head.

"boom!"

To everyone's surprise, Lin Ying came to defend from the weak side, and at the right time, he gave Qian Moss a pin-board hat!

And this is not the end. After blocking the shot, he took off the defensive rebound, then turned and slammed into Augustine on the outside.

I said earlier that the 3-2 zone defense is a tactic that focuses on the outside line. When defensive, there are three people outside the free throw line and two under the basket.

This defensive formation presses outwards, but it also means that they are positioned forward when switching offense and defense.

This is why when you watch the game, those teams that are good at defensive counterattacks will use a lot of 3-2 defense.

The pass was very fast and beautiful. Augustine and Durant quickly attacked the frontcourt one by one, and only Robinson in Kansas had time to retire.

Augustine pushed Robinson to the bottom of the basket, made a layup, and quickly distributed the ball to Durant, who was already cutting into the basket on the right.

Durant got the ball and soared into the air, and Dapeng spread his wings.

"Wham!"

The ball was smashed into the basket, and like a hammer, it hit the hearts of the University of Texas fans on the scene.

Almost all of the University of Texas fans stood up from their seats instantly, and then cheered with their hands high.

From Lin Ying's block to Durant's dunk, the ball was made in one go and locked into the top five of today's best balls!

Durant also appeared very excited after dunking. After landing, he arched his hands in a "strong" celebration.

And the next second, he turned around and glared, shouting at the Kansas fan side:

It's not over yet! It's not over yet!"
