The Bulldogs once again overtook the score with Li Rong's three-pointer. In the next round, North Carolina's attack was impatient. In order to get the position at the basket, Hansblu directly pushed down Dennis who was defending him.

"Beep!" The whistle sounded, and the referee directly gave an offensive foul gesture.

"He pushed me first..." Hansblu immediately became anxious and chased after him and wanted to appeal with the referee.

Fortunately, Ellington and Wright hugged him together at this time, otherwise they would have been likely to have a technical foul.

At this time, North Carolina coach Roy Williams decisively chose to substitute, because he was afraid that the players' emotions would lose control if they continued like this.

The head coach of the Bulldogs, Matthew, saw that North Carolina was the first to substitute, and then changed into a rotation time lineup.

The Bulldogs served on the sideline, and Nick dribbled the ball through halftime and handed it to Li Rong.

Li Rong was not polite either, and waved to direct substitute center Miles who had just come on the court to come up and roll him.

With the help of Miles' pick-and-roll, Li Rong scored a big step to the penalty area. Before the opponent's substitute center was still defending, he threw in advance. The basketball accurately drilled into the basket and helped the team expand its lead to 4 points.

In the next round, Ellington, who led the substitute lineup in North Carolina, made a mid-range shot with the help of a screen.

However, Li Rong immediately made another three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line. The defender who had just replaced North Carolina did not expect that Li Rong would take action from such a distance and could only watch the basketball fall into the basket.

"Beautiful!" Li Rong's large three-pointer made the commentator on the scene couldn't help but praise him. "On the 12th, he started performing crazy since he came on the bench and has scored 14 points in a row."

"Press time, press time." North Carolina coach Roy knew that his players could not stop the opponent's No. 12 from scoring wildly. Fortunately, there were less than 4 minutes left before the end of the first half, so he could only slow down the offensive rhythm and wait until the main lineup came back in the second half before finding a way to catch up.

North Carolina's substitute lineup strictly implemented the head coach's orders. This round did not start attacking until the last thirty seconds. Although there was no goal, the time had been delayed to less than 3 minutes at this time.

When Li Rong turned around and got the ball again, North Carolina began to perform double-teams. Li Rong was not greedy for me and quickly found the open Nick. Nick drew the ball and made a mid-range shot. At this time, the score difference between the two sides reached the largest 10 points so far in this game.

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that the second-ranked seed team in the United States would be forced to this point by an unknown primary school.

Then North Carolina almost ran out of offensive time again, but fortunately, the North Carolina No. 45 small forward who came on the bench before the attack was over, hit a three-pointer against Li Rong's defense.

Li Rong shook his head helplessly. He had tried his best to interfere with the ball, and the opponent was a little lucky.

Looking back, Li Rong got the ball and broke through the opponent's outside defense without waiting for the opponent to double-team. Seeing that he could not defend, the North Carolina defender directly pulled Li Rong out of the air.

"Hey! Are you trying to find fault?" Nick from the Bulldogs and Miles came up to stand out for Li Rong. The foul just now was too fierce.

Li Rong looked down at his red arms and grabbed the two of them. Now the situation is in great shape, there is no need to have conflicts with each other for such a trivial matter.

The referee gave a shooting foul, and Li Rong then made two consecutive free throws.

I don't know if it was affected by this foul, but after North Carolina's next round of attack under defense, Li Rong, who turned around, finally missed his first goal in the game.

Then both sides failed to hit the offense once left, and the Bulldogs led by 9 points in the first half with a 34-25 lead.

Both sides entered the intermission, and many staff at the arena could hear the roar of coach Roy Williams inside through the gates of the North Carolina locker room. He was obviously dissatisfied with the players' performance.

It is not unacceptable to score 25 points in the first half. It is limited by NCAA rules and low scores are a normal thing, but the most unforgivable thing is to let your opponent Butler score 34 points.

North Carolina captain Taylor Hansblu lowered his head and said nothing. He fell into deep self-blame. This college star, who has always been famous for his tough performance on the court, was restricted by an unknown man in the first half. This seems to be an incomprehensible thing to outsiders.

At the beginning of the second half, North Carolina sounded the horn of counterattack. They started from the defensive end, and the physical contact between the two sides began to increase. After Lawson knocked down with Anthony, the starting point guard of the Bulldogs, the referee did not call a foul. He completed a steal, then got the ball and made a one-stop layup, narrowing the gap between the two sides to 7 points.

During the Bulldogs' inside attack in the next round, Julian was blocked by Brandon Wright. He had already blocked the offensive position in this ball, but Wright still blocked the ball with his excellent bounce ability.

Looking back at North Carolina's Hansblu attacked the inside. Although he failed to hit, the referee called the defensive Dennis foul. Hansblu made both free throws, narrowing the score to 5 points.

Bulldogs starting point guard Anthony made a breakthrough and scored the team's first score in the second half. However, when he came back to the country, Lawson used the same trick to fight back, and the difference between the two sides was still the same.

The game then fell into a tense defensive battle, and no one on both sides could score in the past 4 minutes.

The first to break the deadlock was Brandon Wright. He received a pass from Lawson and used his advantage to pass Bulldogs center Julian in the inside. He dunked at the basket and North Carolina once again approached the score.

The Bulldogs were forced to stop, and head coach Matthew started to substitution: "Lee, you replace John; Nick replaces Anthony, and Miles replaces Julian."

Butler University only retained two starters Dennis and Green, allowing the others to get off the court and rest first.

On the other side, coach Roy Williams still kept the starting lineup on the bench. After seeing the Bulldogs substitution, he immediately reminded the players: "Our defense is done very well. The opponent's No. 12 is on the court, so don't double-team easily. He has good ball handling ability. Try to defend his outside shooting. If he breaks through, the inside must come forward in time to make up for defense."

The last sentence is actually what Brandon Wright said, he moves very fast, has strong bounce ability, and is suitable for assisting defense and protecting the basket.

Wright wiped the sweat from his body and nodded to the head coach. The opponent had replaced the inside big center. It can be said that he liberated him in disguise on the defensive end. His weight and strength were not suitable for such a big center like top defense.

After the suspension, both sides were in battle again.
