Volume 1: Burning NCAA Chapter 048: Road to Evolution 2.0
The ball came from the sideline of the University of North Carolina's frontcourt, and Ellington seemed to be infected as well. He received the ball and shot directly towards Durant.
But before he could wait for Durant to land, the ball was "confiscated" directly!
The University of Texas launched another defensive counterattack. This time, Durant followed up and received the pass from Augustine and scored a slam dunk.
35 to 36!
The University of Texas has taken the lead!
The Texas fans on the sidelines were once again in an uproar.
The photographer on the scene also "promptly" gave the camera to the female fan.
Durant looked up and saw the two dazzling balls on the LED and felt a little dizzy.
Alas, human life is not as good as a piece of clothing!
Roy Williams finally couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout.
This pause came a little early.
However, Roy Williams' coaching style is different from Barnes's.
During the timeout, he didn't take the tactical board, but only said one thing: keep calm.
The purpose of doing this is very clear, which is to put out the fire that Jordan ignited among his players during the halftime.
Playing basketball is not about fighting. All problems cannot be solved by passion alone. More often than not, you still have to rely on your brain.
After the timeout, the University of North Carolina made a personnel adjustment, with Green replacing Hansbrough.
The University of North Carolina also used a small lineup!
In the first attack after the timeout, Lawson and Wright played pick-and-roll in the frontcourt.
After Lawson broke away, he was out of position and faced Lin Ying who rushed inward.
Previously, when playing against Iowa State University, Lin Ying was defeated by Taylor.
After that, he did targeted training in this area.
Even though he was facing Lawson at this moment, he was relatively calm.
Retreat early and keep your hands out to interfere.
Lawson didn't have a good chance to shoot when he broke through to the basket.
However, he did not give up the attack, but chose to jump up and force his way forward.
There was a physical confrontation between the two in the air.
Although Lawson is a small cannon, there is a weight difference between him and Lin Ying after all. What's more, Lin Ying's long arms covered him, so he had no chance to score.
However, Lawson passed the ball backwards in the air!
He didn't intend to shoot the ball from the beginning, he just wanted to restrain Lin Ying.
The ball was sent to the middle, where Wright broke free and followed it in.
This is his best scoring method.
“Bang!”
A two-handed dunk after cutting in.
Wright ignored Augustine who was switching defense and smashed the ball directly through the latter.
The scouts in the audience drooled at the sight of the long arm.
The situation on the field changed suddenly, and the University of North Carolina's steady play put the University of Texas into a stalemate again.
If no targeted changes are made, then just like before, only slow death awaits them.
More than seven minutes into the second half, the score had become 45 to 40, with the University of North Carolina taking a five-point lead.
This time it was Barnes' turn to call a timeout.
Although the score difference was not very large, the physical fitness of the University of Texas players could no longer keep up.
This timeout is for substitutions and also for adjusting tactics.
If they continue to push the issue like this, the University of Texas will become an old cow that dies of exhaustion on the ridge of a field.
"Lin, you go to the low position."
Barnes' adjustment this time was a bit unexpected.
Springman was surprised.
Although he usually saw Lin Ying practicing low-post offensive techniques, Lin Ying rarely used them in the game so far, and it could even be said that they were almost useless.
Now suddenly asking him to go to the low post is a bit risky and a bit too much.
Lin Ying... nodded.
Regardless of whether his skills are mature or not, Barnes arranges him to play because it shows his trust in him.
And now North Carolina is also using a small lineup, and the one defending him is Terry.
Although Terry has weight, he is only 2.01 meters tall, which is shorter than him.
Coupled with the strength advantage, he has a great chance.
The tactics were arranged, and before going on the court, Barnes reached out and patted Lin Ying on the shoulder.
It was the real man confrontation between Lin Ying and Durant that he saw through the window that night that made him make such a decision at this moment.
Heaven will bestow great responsibilities on this person.
Whether the University of Texas can reverse the trend, or at least maintain a stalemate, depends on Lin Ying's performance in the low post in the next period!
After the break, the game continues.
Both sides made substitutions, leaving only Lin Ying and Durant in the starting lineup for the University of Texas.
In this kind of game, both players basically have to play the entire game.
On the North Carolina side, Hansbrough came back on as a substitute.
Including Wright who is still on the court, the University of North Carolina is using the twin towers again!
Things have changed!
Lin Ying looked back at Barnes.
Barnes had no intention of adjusting.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back!
The first attack was still based on the triangle tactics, except that Lin Ying went to the low position.
Roy Williams was confused.
He switched back to the twin towers lineup because the University of Texas' physical fitness had declined and it was difficult for them to run.
But the position that the University of Texas is in is not just for tonight, it has not been used all season.
Is Barnes...giving up?
Of course, it wasn't just Williams who was confused at this time.
In the live broadcast booth, Barkley and Kenny Smith also had confused looks.
"I heard that Lin Ying once learned low-post techniques from Yao Ming."
In the audience, Yang Yi turned around and spoke to Ma Jian.
It's a pity that he doesn't have a microphone at the moment, otherwise his commentary would definitely make domestic fans excited.
“It’s hard to say.”
Ma Jian took a look at the opponent and was not very optimistic.
"Looking at Lin Ying's position, he should be going deep. He should be attacking from the inside, but the one defending him now is Hansbrough."
Ma Jian’s words are very straightforward.
Hansbrough weighs 10 kilograms more than Lin Ying, which gives him an advantage in the confrontation.
"If it was Yao Ming, it would be easy, he could play any position."
Yang Yi smiled.
Yao Ming comes to play in the NCAA? Isn't that the Singer Civilization throwing a two-dimensional foil at the Earth?
As he was speaking, Lin Ying had already received the ball in the low post.
Hansbrough had no intention of stopping Lin Ying from catching the ball, he was even looking forward to it!
Lin Ying's consecutive shots in front of him made him unable to raise his head in front of Jordan. Now the offense and defense have switched, and it's his turn to perform!
Compared to offense, defense is his strong point!
Durant was holding the team outside the three-point line, and the University of North Carolina's defense couldn't close in, so Lin Ying had plenty of one-on-one opportunities under the basket.
The North Carolina fans at the scene began to boo.
In their eyes, Lin Ying's behavior was like a Native American charging into an American gun array with a spear in hand. It was pure gift!
"boom!"
Lin Ying held the ball and hit it.
Hansbrough is as steady as a rock.
Hansbrough played in the CBA in the past . Because of his strong defense, the domestic media said at the time:
It is easy to shake a mountain, but difficult to shake Spru!
Of course Lin Ying wouldn't force herself to eat it.
His first move was to feel out Hansbrough's defensive focus.
He remembered everything Yao Ming taught him.
Hansbrough's choice is to lift his elbows and push forward, pushing his center of gravity forward.
Just at this moment, Lin Ying quickly turned to the right.
What we are trying to do is to create a time difference and then shoot directly off the board.
Hansbrough's center of gravity had just moved out, and he had no time to adjust his posture and reach out to block the shot.
But of course he would not let Lin Ying attack so easily, so he just leaned sideways and hit him hard.
Well, we still deeply implement Comrade Jordan’s guidance.
Lin Ying was knocked over.
He didn't expect Hansbrough to do this, and... this guy is really an awesome guy!
"beep!"
The baseline referee blew the whistle, indicating that Hansbrough had committed a defensive foul.
Hansbrough looked at the referee innocently and repeated his action.
That expression seemed to be saying: I just gave him a light push and he fell down, it's not a foul.
But the referee obviously didn't buy it.
Given Hansbrough's physique, if this kind of foul was not called, it would cost someone's life!
Durant and Randy Williams ran over and pulled Lin Ying up from the ground.
Lin Ying let out a long breath, letting out the air in his chest.
It seems that the previous trick is not enough to deal with a savage like Hansbrough.
Even though the referee blew the whistle this time, he may not do it again next time.
Because in addition to being fair, the referee also needs to maintain the continuity of the game.
This is also one of the main reasons why referees often do not watch the replays of misjudgments seen on live TV.
A game that is too fragmented will have a huge impact on ratings.
Lin Ying went to the free throw line.
Because it was a shooting foul, there were two free throws.
He adjusted his breathing and made both free throws.
In fact, Lin Ying has an excellent quality that he himself has not noticed.
Every time he discovered his shortcomings, he would train in a targeted manner.
And because he practiced a lot, he was able to fill in the gaps every time.
45 to 42.
Although he didn't score directly, he still got two points in an indirect way.
In North Carolina's offense, Wright went to the basket, received the pass, and scored the ball while pressing tool B.
Although he is thin, he is still very good at playing as a tool.
After seeing this, Barnes called Wendell to replace tool man B.
Judging from North Carolina University's arrangement, it is unlikely that they will double-team Lin Ying. At this time, replacing him with Wendel can also improve the rebounding.
This is indeed the case. When Lin Ying received the ball in the low post again, the reaction from the University of North Carolina was exactly the same as before.
Hansbrough walked into the trap, and the other North Carolina players did not move.
Even North Carolina fans reacted the same way.
No, it might be even more radical.
They thought that Lin Ying was acting when he was knocked down before, so they made even louder noises this time.
However, there is a very different detail in Lin Ying's singles this time.
His position.
He was standing obviously further away than before.
Actual combat is always the fastest way to gain experience.
When he was training before, he only practiced the technique without considering how to use it.
But the ball just now has made him realize the biggest difference between himself and Yao Ming.
height.
Someone will definitely say, even a fool can see this!
Yes, but the height mentioned here does not refer to the height alone, but the impact of height on technology.
It's like the defender's change of direction and the striker's change of direction.
Defenders focus on speed, while forwards focus more on rhythm.
Because speed is the advantage of defenders, while change of direction is the advantage of strikers.
Similarly, there will be this distinction in low-post techniques.
For tall inside players, the deeper they are in position, the easier it is to score.
But for an inside player who is one level shorter, if they go too deep, they are more likely to be blocked.
The background board that must be pulled out at this time is Howard.
He was blocked 1,203 times in his career, which is nearly half of his dunks.
The same thing happened to Hansbrough's ball that was blocked by Lin Ying before.
The best way to avoid being blocked or interfered with is to stay further away from the basket.
Kevin Garnett, the Iron-Blooded Wolf King, kept poking at the screen and giving likes!
Pau Gasol is giving you the eye!
Tim "The Laughing Boy" Duncan said: What does this have to do with me?
Lin Ying did it again in the same way.
The difference is that this time he had some luck before landing on his feet.
The advantage of doing this is that you can move left or right before determining the pivot foot.
Next, it’s the application of footsteps.
He turned around and faked a move, then turned back, took a step towards the basket to shoot, and then pulled back to hit the rebound.
"boom!"
The ball hit the backboard and bounced steadily into the basket.
Hansbrough followed Lin Ying left and right, but he had no idea when Lin Ying would make a move!
The feeling of Shanghai dance steps is coming!
It would be more accurate to say that the feeling of Shanghai tango dance is here!
Sometimes close, sometimes far away!
"God!"
After the goal was scored, Barkley held his head in the commentary booth.
Is this familiar?
It's so damn familiar!
This is how Yao Ming played during his rookie year!
As the only victim of the "kissing the donkey's butt" incident, this action was simply forcing him to recall the tragic experience!
Kenny Smith on the side was laughing so hard that he looked unrecognizable.
At this time, Yang Yi was very excited in the audience:
"Does Yao Ming need to come for this? Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? A pair of scissors will be enough!"
However, Ma Jian on the side was lost in thought at this time.
Yang Yi was having a great time and wished that the place where he was sitting was the commentary seat.
His smile froze when he turned around and saw Ma Jian's reaction.
What's going on here?
"Have you noticed Lin Ying's height?"
Ma Jian saw Yang Yi looking at him and started talking.
"height?"
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment. Ma Jian’s question was a bit sudden?
Ma Jian nodded.
"You know I'm 2.02 meters tall with shoes on, but when I went to greet him I felt he was much taller than me."
"Have it?"
Yang Yi's mind was focused on the communication before, and he didn't pay any attention to the details that Ma Jian mentioned.
"Look at the court. When he and Hansbrough stand together, aren't they about the same height?"
Ma Jian pointed to the field and used a more direct approach.
At this time, Yang Yi looked in the direction of his finger.
I didn't notice this before, but after looking carefully.
"Hey, it's true!"
He couldn't help but slap his thigh.
"That's not right. Lin Ying's registered height at the University of Texas was 2.01 meters. It's been less than a year. How could he grow 5 centimeters?"
Yang Yi continued to mutter.
He was the first person to find Lin Ying in the NCAA, so he naturally knew some basic data about Lin Ying.
"I think when Lin Ying first reported his height, he reported his bare feet height, and he may have grown 2-3 centimeters in the past year."
Ma Jian continued.
As someone who once played in the NCAA, he knows a lot of things that others don't know.
For example, the NCAA is quite casual when registering players' heights. As long as the players' reported heights are not too different, they will not check them one by one.
The most famous one in history is Carl Landry.
During the draft, Purdue University reported him as 2.01 meters tall, but when he went to the Rockets for a tryout, he was measured at 2.05 meters barefoot and 2.07 meters with shoes!
Lin Ying's situation may be very similar to Landry's.
