In the next round, Bulldogs point guard Anthony once again easily broke through and passed the ball to Li Rong on the outside. Li Rong got the ball without stopping and passed it to Mike Green. Green made a three-pointer, and the Bulldogs took a 5-0 lead at the start.

Looking back, Vasquis used his height advantage to force a throw-in on Anthony's head, making a good start for the Turtles.

But then the Turtles fell into a three-minute scoring drought, while the Bulldogs made an impeccable attack with their smooth transmission ball.

2-8, the University of Maryland led by 6 points at the beginning of the game, and the head coach had to shout out the first timeout of the game.

"Bill, what do you think the Turtles' offense is wrong? They only scored two points so far." The commentator of this game was Jay Williams, who was the second in the NBA draft in 2002, but later he changed his career to work as a basketball commentator because of an accident.

The commentator invited by CBS to partner with him this time is the famous NBA legend Bill Walton. As the exclusive NCAA TV broadcaster, CBS is rich and often spends a lot of money to invite some retired NBA stars to comment on the sidelines. Bill Walton is their regular visitor.

Walton spoke slowly because of his previous stuttering problem, and his outspoken comment style has won the love of many fans.

"The Turtles encountered big trouble in this game," Walton looked down at the technical statistics. "I found that they have not taken a three-pointer yet, and they cannot defeat the Bulldogs' iron barrel defense without a three-pointer. On the other hand, the Bulldogs did a very good job, not only limiting the Turtles' offensive starting point Vasquez, but also playing very well on the offensive end, scoring 8 points in total but passing 3 assists, which shows that they suppressed their opponents on both ends of the offense."

"Then do you think the Turtles should shoot more three-pointers?" Jay asked.

"Yes, the defensive strategy used in this game is to protect the inside, cut off the opponent's internal and external connection, and put three-pointers on the outside. In this case, you must put those open three-pointers in order to change the opponent's defensive strategy." Bill Walton replied.

"I observed that their outside defense gate, Strobery, changed to the third position, and Li Rong, the No. 12 player, was the main defense player, but Li Rong has not taken any action yet. Do you think such a defensive strategy is worth discussing?"

"It depends on the situation," said Walton. "I paid attention to the information about the Bulldogs when I was preparing for commentary before the game. Li Rong, No. 12, is their number one scorer. The name should be Chinese. In principle, it is not wrong to focus on the opponent's arrow characters, but some changes can be made under appropriate circumstances. Let's see how the Turtle Team adjusts."

The Turtles team's offense improved when they returned to the court. Vasquis made a three-pointer with his teammate's pick-and-roll, helping the team close the score.

However, they still had no way to stop the Bulldogs from attacking on the defensive end, and Anthony broke through to the inside and threw the ball and scored two points.

Then the two sides fought back and forth and started a battle against each other, but after the half-time game, the score difference was still frozen at 6 points.

"It's a wonderful game. The Turtle defender Vasquis performed very well in the first half. He scored 15 points in person. The Bulldogs scored relatively scattered. Point guard Anthony scored the highest 8 points in the team and had 3 assists. Mike Green scored 6 points, and the two inside players scored 4 points each. No. 12 Li Rong also made a three-pointer. The two substitutes also scored points respectively. Bill, how do you evaluate the performance of the two teams in the first half?" Jay Williams first informed the camera of the performance of the players on both sides, and then asked the commentators to comment on the ball as usual.

"I think both sides have shown their own level, but the Bulldogs are obviously superior in the field. If the Turtles want to win, they must make changes in the second half." Bill Walton said concisely.

"Then are you optimistic that the Bulldogs will win now?"

"Yes," Bill Walton said bluntly, "It's obvious that the Bulldogs have done more pre-match preparations in this game, and relatively speaking, the Turtles' arrangement adjustments are slow..."

Seeing that Bill Walton was so disrespectful to the Turtles, Jay Williams hurriedly jumped out to smooth things over: "But the gap between the two sides is still within a completely acceptable range, I believe they still have a chance to win this game."

Just after returning in the second half, the Turtles made adjustments. Strobery, who had been defending Li Rong before, began to relax his marks, and began to help Vasquis block Bulldogs point guard Anthony's inside breakthrough.

Anthony dribbled the ball and broke through to the free throw line and discovered this situation and passed the ball directly to Li Rong on the outside.

I don’t know if it was because of the cold feeling because of the lack of shooting in the first half, Li Rong’s outside shot hit the basket this time.

The rebound was taken away by the Turtles, and Vasquis then initiated an offense and assisted his teammates to score two points in the inside.

"The Turtles scored the first goal in the second half. I wonder if this is their counterattack horn? Let's wait and see." Jay Williams said after the Turtles scored.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Rong received a pass from his teammate again and made a long-distance three-pointer.

"Wow!" Jay Williams exclaimed, "This three-pointer at No. 12 is far beyond the NCAA's three-point line, probably about 25 feet?"

"That's right!" said Bill Walton. "The Turtles have obviously changed their defensive strategy. Their defense of No. 12 is not as tight as in the first half. The Bulldogs have also made corresponding adjustments. Both offenses returned from the second half ended through No. 12."

This was just the beginning of Li Rong's performance. In the following time, he scored 7 points in a row and scored 10 points as soon as he came back in the second half.

Fortunately, the Turtle team's offensive success rate is also good, so the score difference between the two sides will not be widened to more than 10 points.

Li Rong's continuous scoring performance made the two commentators of CBS exclaim repeatedly. Jay Williams turned to look at Bill Walton and sighed: "No. 12's scoring methods are really rich. They include long-distance shots, swinging away the opponent's basket, and mid-range shots after fake moves. No wonder the Turtles didn't dare to emptie him in the first half. I don't know where the Bulldogs got such a scoring monster?"
