At this time, the first half of the time was not over, and North Carolina still retained the starting five-man team. The starting lineup replacement of Danny Green was a white forward guard swinger Derek. His height was only 1.98 meters, and this height was barely enough in the forward position, but compared to Li Rong who had just been replaced, he was half a head shorter.

"The Bulldogs have changed to No. 12..." The live commentator paused when he read Li Rong's name, "...Li Rong, the name should be an Asian, playing as a small forward."

Lawson's sharp breakthrough was still unsolvable. Although Anthony, the point guard on the Bulldogs, was not at a disadvantage in speed, his strength was far from him and he could not cause too much interference to him.

After the timeout, Lawson successfully broke into the inside again. Bulldogs center Julian hurried forward to assist in defense. Lawson saw this and threw the ball high and over Julian's raised arms.

"Boom." The basketball stand trembled.

"Beautiful aerial relay!" The live commentary was not hesitant to praise, "North Carolina star guard Ty Lawson assisted teammate Brandon Wright to complete a powerful and heavy aerial dunk."

After the ball was entered, the audience also applauded and shouted. Such a wonderful performance could arouse the audience's enthusiasm the most.

Looking back, Anthony handed the ball to Julian, who was asking for the ball at the low post, and asked him to play against the opponent's center Brand Wright.

Although Brandon Wright is a spring man with good bounce, he is thin and does not know how to defend low posts, and his ability to protect the basket is also average.

Julian has an advantage in weight and strength against Wright, so he easily carried Wright's defense and pushed it to the near-the-counter area. Next, he could easily score two points by just leaning on his opponent and making a hook layup.

"Be careful!" Just then, Julian's teammates reminded him.

Before he could understand what was going on, he felt that the basketball in his hand was taken fiercely, and he immediately lost control of the basketball.

Lawson was happy when he took the ball and jumped up quickly to control the basketball flying in the air.

But just as his fingertips were about to touch the ball, he saw a hand touching the basketball first before him.

"It's the yellow man who just came on stage!" Lawson saw the other party's appearance clearly.

The one who got the ball was Li Rong. From the start of Lawson's speed, he was preparing to double-team. Li Rong discovered the opponent's intention, but Lawson was too fast and his reminder was still a little late.

However, while he was reminding him, his body had moved toward the inside line, just in time to dial the ball that Lawson stole from Julian.

The position where Li Rong got the ball was already near the penalty area, and Lawson was defending in front of him, so he chose to shoot directly without hesitation.

Hansblu on the other side got rid of Dennis' entanglement and wanted to block the block, but in the end he was still a little late, so he had to watch the ball fall into the basket unwillingly.

"The Bulldogs are lucky and picked up Julian's missed goal. The new No. 12 helped the team tie the score again." The live commentator said.

Indeed, this ball looks like a ball of luck that goes wrong to outsiders, but the coaches on both sides of the field knew that this was not a goal that was entirely based on luck. From Li Rong's discovery that Lawson double-teamed to Julian made a mistake, the time between this was very short, but Li Rong quickly controlled the ball at this point in time, which just showed that he had a strong ability to judge the timing.

"A very active boy!" North Carolina coach Roy Williams said to himself.

Lawson shook his head. He had tried his best to interfere, but the height difference between the two sides was too big.

But looking back, Lawson broke through to the inside again. This time, the two inside players of the Bulldogs Julian and Dennis dared not come up to make up for defense. They were afraid that Lawson would pass the ball to their defenders again.

Lawson quickly judged the situation on the field and chose to take the lead against the Bulldogs defender Anthony.

The power gap between the two sides was obvious. The moment Lawson's body and Anthony came into contact, he knocked the other party away and formed a good space for himself to attack.

This is a throw in the penalty area, and the ball's rising route is very positive. If nothing unexpected happens, it should have entered.

But at this moment, Lawson felt a tall figure flying beside him, and he drew the basketball flying in the air away from its original route of travel.

"Lawson wants to make a layup, oh!" The commentator suddenly exclaimed, "The Bulldogs' players who assisted in defense chased each other and blocked it, it was No. 12!"

After Li Rong blocked Lawson's layup, he pounced the basketball flying in the air and landed in Dennis' arms not far away.

Dennis protected the rebound and directly gave it to his own point guard Anthony. When Anthony received the ball, he immediately started to push with the ball.

North Carolina's retreat was very timely, and the Bulldogs did not have a chance to get a fast break. Anthony chose to pass the ball to the team's boss Mike Green.

Green got the ball, used Julian's cover to pull up and shoot a mid-range shot. The ball bounced on the basket and did not fall into the basket.

Hansblu firmly managed to get his position and waited for the ball to fall and put the rebound away.

But the ball that fell in mid-air was clicked on the basket by an arm that suddenly appeared and sent directly into the basket.

"The Bulldogs made a tip-in, and it was No. 12 again. North Carolina was too careless in this offensive round." The live commentator said a pity.

North Carolina coach Roy Williams frowned. He did not think this round was careless. The opponent's No. 12, who had just replaced, was half a head taller than his small forward Derek, and he naturally had an advantage in rebounding.

In fact, North Carolina's overall height is a bit short, point guard Tay Lawson is only 1.8 meters, shooting guard Wayne Ellington is 1.93 meters, small forward Derek is 1.98 meters, power forward Hansbrew is 2.06 meters, center Brandon Wright is 2.08 meters, except Lawson, almost every position is at least a few centimeters shorter than the opponent.

In the past, North Carolina did not suffer any losses in the inside rebounding because Hansblu's desperate position created many rebounding opportunities for his teammates. However, in this game, Hansblu obviously encountered trouble, and Dennis, who was defending him, completely offset his role.

Although Wright is a spring man, he is too light in weight, so the basket position is not Julian's opponent at all. At any time, the competition for rebounding positions is more important than bounce.

Turning back, Lawson passed the ball to Hansblu, who was in the inside. Hansblu faced Dennis' defense and scored his second goal in the game, equalizing the score for North Carolina.

The Bulldogs barked a timeout, and head coach Matthew also discovered the team's inside rebounding advantage and immediately encouraged the players: "We must take bravely. We have an advantage in offensive rebounding. It doesn't matter if we don't make a shot. We must strive for offensive rebounding."
