This Forward is Not Serious

Chapter 20: Kansas' true strength

   "Defend! Defend!"

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

   In the shout, the University of Texas team fought to defend a wave of offense from the University of Kansas.

   Then, there was a wave of lightning fast attack.

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

   And that's not counting.

   A wave of offense by Kansas caused a foul, 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 Wendell received Augustine's second ball and put the basket to score!

   9 to 5!

   Say you may not believe it. The University of Texas, which was rubbed on the ground last time, is now on par with Kansas!

   No, it is the upper hand!

   The cheers of the University of Texas fans on the sidelines can no longer stop!

  They are excited!

   The team's efforts and progress in the past two months are all in their eyes!

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

   "Charles, they seem to be better than you think."

   Kenny Smith said with a smile.

   There is a hint of appreciation in his laughter.

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

   Barkley didn't speak, but rubbed his chin and looked confused.

   The triangle tactic played by the University of Texas was indeed a bit beyond his expectation.

   is not only this effect, but also this way.

   This is different from the Bulls and Lakers in his memory.

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

   But Durant hasn't scored since the University of Texas hit it!

   Of the 9 points they got, 5 points came from Augustine, 2 points came from James, and 2 points came from Wendell.

   If I didn't watch the game, I thought it was Princeton!

   But he is not to blame.

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

   This involves the version of the triangle offense.

   is the same triangle offensive tactics. Old Winter is version 1.0 and Phil Jackson is version 2.0.

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

   There is a big difference between the two versions.

   As for why there are two versions, it is not about updating or upgrading, it is simply because of the different environments.

   The biggest difference between NCAA and NBA is player dominance.

   The strongest player in the NCAA, because the relationship between age and playing experience does not reach the level of NBA dominance, naturally, the matchup advantage will not be as obvious as the NBA.

   So the 2.0 version emphasizes the creation of core players' match-up opportunities, which will significantly increase the round offensive success rate.

   The 1.0 version pays more attention to counterpoint advantages.

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

   This is also the reason why Barkley has the illusion of Princeton.

   Princeton pays attention to sharing the ball, whoever has the opportunity to shoot.

   At this point, the two tactics are somewhat similar.

What? Isn't Durant getting more points?

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

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

   Self frowned at this time.

   Barkley hasn't seen it doesn't mean that 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 now feels more like Kenny Smith.

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

   While talking, the University of Texas made another beautiful triangle offense. This time it was Lin Ying.

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

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

   Lin Ying would naturally not miss such an opportunity, he had already shot a three-pointer before Self stood up to remind him.

   Shooting depends on practice. As the amount of training increases, his certainty is even higher than in the last match!

   "Huh!"

   There was a crisp sound.

   three points through the net!

   12 to 7!

   The University of Texas opened the score to 5 points!

   The cheers of the University of Texas fans once again sounded on the scene.

   The score keeps pulling apart, they are going to win!

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

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

  His face is green.

  The last time he played against the University of Texas substitute almost let him overturn, now the second time he played against them, he suppressed them.

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

   If that were the case, his Kansas career would come to an end!

   "Do you remember that kid?"

   At the commentary, Smith said suddenly.

"Who?"

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

   Kenny Smith looked at the bench at the University of Texas as he spoke.

   He didn't notice Lin Ying at the beginning, but he couldn't pay attention to it until now.

   Because Lin Ying's presence is too strong.

   The presence on the basketball court is more than just scoring, especially for professional basketball commentators like them.

   "He played smartly."

   Barkley paused and gave an evaluation.

   Before Kenny Smith asked him to watch the University of Texas game, he didn't watch it in the end.

   There are so many explanations. They have said more than ordinary people eat more salt. If you do everything, it will be exhausting.

   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 that of China’s college entrance examination. A large number of people will be eliminated at every stage.

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

  Because every year, the number of players who reach draft age is tens of thousands, but in the end only 60 are selected by the NBA.

   Plus there are still a large number of overseas players.

   The difficulty is said to have been reduced by thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge.

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

   The time-out between talking has come, and the players from both sides are back on the court.

   There is no adjustment in the lineup on both sides.

   But if you look closely at the expressions of the players on the court, you will find that the expressions of the players on the Kansas side are a bit solemn.

   This timeout in the past should be uncomfortable for them.

   Pause back to Kansas for the first strike.

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

   Compared with the time before the timeout, the change that can be clearly felt is that Kansas has more moves without the ball, more passes, and a slower pace.

   As a result, the University of Texas defense started to be a little bit unable to keep up.

   35 seconds for an NCAA offense, a full 11 seconds longer than the NBA.

   More time means more possibilities, and greater defense difficulty.

   And at a slower pace, the University of Kansas’ high tactical literacy is vividly reflected.

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

   Catch a ball-free change from the University of Texas. Wright received a pass from Robinson on the bottom line and ended with a two-handed dunk.

   This ball excited the Kansas fans on the spot.

   Especially some old fans face flushed.

   They will not lose to a group of rookie University of Texas!

   That is the pride of the rich team!

   When they retreated to the defensive end, the University of Kansas continued to show their changes.

  Texas University’s triangle offensive coordination is still very good, but this time, no matter whether it is the strong side or the weak side, they have not been able to form a good scoring opportunity.

   It is not that the defensive ability of the Kansas players has become stronger, but their defensive focus and execution have become stronger!

   To give a very simple example, or the same tactics as last round, James would have faced an empty blue when he cut and received the ball.

   But this time when he cut in again, the guy who doubled Durant in Kansas had returned to the basket!

   The result is that James's finishing ability is not enough, the shot was disturbed, and the University of Texas offense returned without success.

   And it's not a round thing, it's the way Kansas plays in the rest of this quarter.

   Lin Ying's passing is still very beautiful, Texas University's triangle tactics are no problem, but the players will always be disturbed when they take shots.

   And Kansas is playing more and more vigorously.

   hit the back, the University of Texas played tactically, obviously the opportunity to play a second before, when the person who has the opportunity to receive the ball, the opportunity is gone!

   This also plunged the University of Texas offense into a quagmire. The leading advantage was eroded, even tied, and then overtaken.

   After the first half, the score on the court was 35-25.

   Kansas in turn leads the University of Texas by 10 points!

   This first half made everyone realize the true strength of this NCAA giant.

   Otherwise, how did you think they rubbed the University of Texas with the Trident last year!

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

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

   After the first quarter, the game enters into the intermission.

   The players on both sides walked back to the locker room from the player tunnel to get dressed.

   The faces of the University of Texas team members couldn't hide the loss.

   Just like Barnes said when he mobilized before the game, they have worked hard for today's game in the past two months.

   But now they still can't beat Kansas!

   How desperate it feels.

   Lin Ying is also a little dazed.

   Not to mention their respective efforts, just two months of mastering the triangle tactics, they have done things that ordinary people can't 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 dressing room is rarely quiet.

   "Are you playing 123 Mu Man?"

   Just then, there was a knock on the door of the locker room, followed by a hearty laughter and a familiar face.

  The person who came is PJ Tucker.

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

   "Randy, they are stronger than last year."

   Tucker smiled and said to Williams.

   "Brandon is not on yet."

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

  As a veteran of the team, he knows the strength of this Kansas too well.

   This is also the reason why Barnes screamed at the freshmen, and he immediately introduced Kansas to the freshmen.

   That was a wave of vaccinations in advance.

   is the same sentence that I said before, defeating the strong with the weak, and suppressing these are very passionate things in competitive sports.

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

   The real strong, you fight him more often because you know why he is so strong, just like the second half of the night tonight.

   "But I don't think I have no chance tonight."

   But Tucker’s words are a bit different from what he thought. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   "In fact, your performance scared me a bit."

   Tucker continued.

   His words turned quickly, and the eyes of the players were also attracted to him.

   Lin Ying also looked up.

   His previous knowledge of Tucker was limited to the few previous matches 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 guys played better tonight than when we played them in the finals before, Randy, you should feel it too, right?"

   Tucker glanced at Williams again when he said this.

   Williams nodded again.

   Although this team is a bit worse in experience than the one last year, it is more talented, and the triangle offense does add a lot to them.

   Facing the stronger Kansas University was only 10 points behind at halftime, they couldn't do it last year.

   "I think there is a chance in the second half."

   Tucker repeated what he said just now.

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

   "It depends on you, Kevin.

   You have the best talent among everyone on the scene, but you haven't shown it yet, have you? "

  Ps: Two chapters have been changed in a row. Last night, I changed it for more than 2 hours to more than 1 o'clock. I hope that the new book will not leave any regrets, and it will live up to expectations.

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

  What, who is the other protagonist? Do you still need me to talk about being so handsome?
