On the court, Lin Ying once again adjusted his offensive strategy.
Hibbert's condition tonight was better than expected, and his protection of the rim was better than expected.
Although his help defense is indeed difficult, it is difficult for Durant to score when he walks to the basket.
If you can only go outside, the efficiency of this triangle tactic's low-post series will be greatly reduced.
At this time, it would be a better choice to let Durant take shots away from the basket.
Lin Ying waved his hand and used a low-post attack to evolve his tactics.
Durant rode in from the weak side, and after Lin Ying gave the ball, he set up a shield wall to block the thousands of troops behind him.
However, Georgetown University's tactical literacy was not bad either. Summers turned around and attacked Durant.
Durant started to show off, making one fake shot and then breaking through to the mid-range pull-up shot.
The posture is not picturesque, but straight up and down seems to have the charm of Maddie.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball passes through the net.
10 to 7.
The University of Texas clings to the score.
Georgetown University's offense never stopped in the opening game, but the University of Texas also scored a lot of points.
Although there is a big gap between the two teams in terms of seeding, the University of Texas has grown a lot along the way.
It’s not like they don’t have the strength to compete with Georgetown University!
The key now is that they have to stop Georgetown's Princeton offense!
The ball was dead in the game, and Pittman came on to replace Wendell.
Pittman's appearance caused a stir on the sidelines.
Even after successfully losing more than 40 pounds, Pittman is still a fat man weighing 340 pounds or more than 300 kilograms.
Coupled with the fact that he is "only" 2.08 meters tall, it's really like a ball.
And the mentality of the fans on both sides is completely different.
The fans at the University of Texas are more confused and mixed with a bit of expectation.
I was confused because I had rarely seen Pittman appear on stage before.
The expectation is because with Hibbert's size, only Pittman has the chance to carry him.
The fans at Georgetown University were also confused, but soon they turned into mocking whistles.
Can a person who is so fat be able to play basketball?
Or on the stage of "Crazy Three"?
Hibbert's eyes widened when he saw Pittman replaced.
Because Pittman had barely had a chance to play before, Georgetown University didn't even mention him when preparing for the game.
So he has no idea that there is such a person at the University of Texas!
But after the shock wore off, he laughed like everyone else.
How could such a fat man have a career!
And while he was laughing, he also realized one thing: the University of Texas' inside line is very weak, extremely weak!
Replacing this kind of player shows that Wendell was already the strongest inside player at the University of Texas.
Thinking back to Green's words before the game reminding him not to underestimate his opponents, it seems very funny now.
But that's okay, he has already defeated Wendell, and now he will defeat Pittman.
In that case, Green will definitely know that he underestimated himself!
Georgetown University advanced to the frontcourt. Hibbert dropped inside and was pleasantly surprised to find that Texas University switched back to man-to-man marking!
Is this to match his performance?
He was overjoyed, and then immediately turned his back to Pittman and made a gesture to ask for the ball.
When Wallace saw it, he also lobbed the ball in.
Hibbert was in such good shape tonight, and it was a rare man-to-man defense, so there would be no problem in playing more.
When Hibbert got the ball, he still glanced at the positions of other defenders behind him.
It's not because of his high basketball IQ, but because this is a necessary arrangement in Princeton's system.
It can be said that it is a necessary action for the center to determine the next step.
Seeing that Lin Ying was still restrained by Summers and Durant was far away from him, he lowered his focus and started to fight.
He was so confident that he even wanted to dunk over Pittman.
But at the first glance, he realized that Pittman was a bit surprising.
The fat man's confrontation was much better than he expected. He didn't even move at first.
But it doesn't matter. If you think he relies on strength to make a living, that would be a misunderstanding of him. He is a skilled center!
He turned around and chose a small hook from close range.
This is one of his self-recognized special skills.
Don't tell me, this action combined with his height really has a bit of Yao Ming's charm.
Although the movement is not particularly smooth, it is a bit like a stuck version.
"when!"
No goal, no goal!
Pittman saw Hibbert hitting the iron and wanted to grab the board.
His speed was so slow that when he got up, Hibbert had already reached out before him and directly completed the tip-in.
"What are you doing? Push him out of the box!"
Barnes yelled at Pittman when he saw his choice.
Pittman's status on the team is different from Durant or even Lin Ying.
As a marginal player, you are not allowed to make any mistakes on the court, otherwise you will get a slap in the face.
Fortunately, Pittman's character is quite silly. After being scolded, he kept his head down and ran forward without forgetting to stick out his tongue.
If you didn't watch his performance on the court, you would definitely think that he is a cute fat guy.
Lin Ying continued to organize in the frontcourt.
Replacing Pittman at this point would not be a bad thing for the University of Texas if used properly.
Pittman is very slow, but his body is there, and his quality is very high whether in pick-and-rolls or blocking positions.
Just don't let him catch the ball.
Lin Ying's CPU started to burn, and she had already thought about how to fight.
Under his tactical signal, the University of Texas started a brand new tactical movement.
Triangle position, Lin Ying-Augustin Pittman.
Yes, this looks to be a low post in the triangle offense, and the one playing it is still Pittman!
But at the same time, Durant moved from the weak sideline to the top of the arc.
This looks like a derivative of the low-post singles tactic that the University of Texas often used in the past, with Lin Ying and Durant hand-off the attack at the three-point line.
However, Durant stopped after moving to the three-point line at the top of the arc, and he also set a pick-and-roll for James!
Georgetown University is a little unsure of how Texas will play this round.
And at the same time that the pick-and-roll happened, Lin Ying had already passed the ball to Durant!
Sapp and Summers pounced on Durant almost simultaneously.
Although I don’t know what tactics the University of Texas will use in this round, once the ball is in Durant’s hands, the University of Texas will basically complete the offense with him.
And Durant's ability to handle the ball when double-teamed is his biggest weakness.
As long as a double team is formed, there is a high probability that this round will be defended!
But before their double-team was formed, Durant had already passed the ball!
And the person he passed the ball to was James, who he had previously given a pick-and-roll to!
A completely unexpected change!
And the key is, James is unguarded!
Sapp, who was originally guarding James, double-teamed Durant!
As for Hibbert, he is stuck with Pittman at the moment.
James took the ball, took two steps and jumped into the air...
"Bang!"
An explosive one-handed chop!
The cheers erupted once again.
Only this time, the cheering crowd changed from Georgetown fans to Texas fans.
Beautiful tactics, excellent finish!
On the bench at the University of Texas, Barnes' heart began to beat again, and his face became a lot more rosy.
Springman on the side stood up excitedly and applauded the team's attack.
But he actually seemed more like applauding Lin Ying, because he kept looking in Lin Ying's direction.
His eyes were full of tenderness and admiration.
Of course, the University of Texas played the triangle tactic in this round just now.
It's just one that they usually use less often.
Blind.Pig.
That's right, it's the "blind pig".
If you go back and take a look at the offensive round played by the University of Texas just now, you may be able to understand why this tactic is called so.
Because Durant attracted almost all the opponent's defensive attention, and then he made a passing choice that the opponent had never expected.
Then you will understand why Durant can pass the ball.
Because this is part of the tactic, he has already thought about passing the ball in advance!
Some people may say that this tactic is very easy to defend, just don’t double-team!
But you have to consider that the person receiving the ball is Durant, and James is cutting to the basket immediately after the pick-and-roll.
As a defender you have to consider whether to bypass, switch, or double team.
If he chooses to switch defenses instead of double-teaming, Durant will directly create a mismatched singles opportunity at the top of the key.
Damai James is capable of mismatch defense when he swings to the No. 2 position, but Sapp is not. Sapp is a pure No. 2 position.
If you ask him to guard Durant, there is a high probability that Durant will shoot directly in the face.
And if it is to bypass, because bypassing takes time, you must predict the University of Texas' tactics in advance, and you must have excellent ability to bypass the pick-and-roll.
This is the best way to defend, but the requirements for doing this are too high!
Of course, another point that cannot be ignored is Pittman's position against Hibbert.
With the defensive strength shown by Hibbert in the opening game, it would be in vain if he didn't get stuck.
So this is also the reason why Springman looked at Lin Ying like that.
Because Lin Ying let Pittman participate in the tactics in the first round when he played, and it worked!
When Lin Ying first entered the University of Texas, he was already very good at reading defenses and making offensive choices.
Now, after Lin Ying mastered the tactics, he was like a coach on the field!
And it’s top-notch!
This round is crucial for the University of Texas.
You can see the emotional changes on the players' faces after James dunks, and you can also see their defensive enthusiasm when they return to the defensive end.
Hibbert, keep asking for singles!
Moreover, when Wallace hesitated, he emotionally waved his hand to let him in quickly.
Wallace originally saw the change in the defensive enthusiasm of the University of Texas and wanted to change the offensive tactics.
But Hibbert's emotional change still made him choose to feed the ball in.
There are several types of people in this world that are hard to mess with, and people with low emotional intelligence are one of them.
If the ball is not given, Hibbert might have to find him on the next dead ball.
Hibbert held the ball again, and this time he didn't use technology, but directly attacked!
Pittman was unhappy with the situation he was stuck in, and he was ready to fight back with a tough attack.
"Bang! Bang!"
There was a fierce confrontation under the basket, and there was a constant muffled sound of muscles clashing.
As a result, Hibbert not only did not fight back this time, but was pushed out by Pittman's repeated confrontations!
Why is O'Neal the dominant player in the NBA penalty area?
A very key reason is his size, his huge body and the power hidden under his body.
This is probably the only place where Pittman can see O'Neal's taillights now.
When Barnes saw this, he finally nodded with satisfaction.
“God will not let down those who work hard.”
These words were what he said on the first day of training at the University of Texas.
Now, Pittman is one of the people on the team who carries out that sentence.
For nearly a year, I started training hard at 5:30 in the morning every day and followed a strict diet plan.
That brings not only a little weight loss, but also a declining body fat rate!
Or you can understand it this way: Pittman, who just arrived at the University of Texas, is full of fat.
But now Pittman, you can call him strong.
This is also the reason why Hibbert can't fight.
As I said before, wearing a jersey, you don’t even know what kind of figure the person under the jersey is!
Hibbert got a little carried away and wanted to turn around and continue to fight.
However, this kind of forcible turning without taking advantage can easily mess up your steps.
Sure enough, the next second the bottom line referee blew the whistle.
Hibbert's walking violation!
After the whistle sounded, Hibbert looked at the referee and spread his hands. After he was sure that he was the one who blew the whistle, his expression instantly became frustrated.
This time, the fans of the University of Texas were even more excited.
Then the next scene is very interesting.
There were constant whistles from the University of Texas side.
This is obviously a response to the Georgetown University fans who whistled Pittman earlier!
And they are getting more and more enthusiastic.
Don’t you look down on Pittman and still laugh at him?
Well now, even your Hibbert can't beat Pittman!
Does this mean that what you were bragging about before was not Pittman, but Hibbert?!
Listening to the whistles around him, Hibbert felt a burning pain on his face.
He didn't dare go to the referee to complain, so he could only look at Pittman with a very fierce look.
If you can't beat you on the offensive end, isn't it easy to beat you on the defensive end?
Then, his opportunity really came.
Lin Ying organized a wave of organization, and the University of Texas played a corner pick-and-roll.
This time Augustin went inside and broke through to the basket. After seeing Hibbert, he did not dare to take action and chose to pass to Pittman under the basket.
Pittman got ready to take off after receiving the ball.
It was then that Hibbert turned around.
It's not that he suddenly became more flexible, but that he originally wanted to cure Pittman, so he paid a lot of attention to Pittman.
This time he was about to block Pittman's shot.
He was bound to win, and Pittman's confrontation was beyond his expectation, but fat people must be slow to react, and there is absolutely no way to avoid this!
This time he was right.
But Pittman didn't seem to have any intention of hiding. He went head-to-head with Hibbert under the basket!
One weighs 240 pounds and the other weighs 300 pounds. Two huge bodies collided together.
Then... Hibbert was bounced away!
Moreover, Pittman sent the ball into the basket after bouncing off Hibbert.
The referee blew the whistle again.
Hibbert is still the one blowing!
Block the foul!
This is still a 2+1!
crazy!
UT fans are going crazy!
Pittman's offense and defense made them wet!
Big Texas baby!
Chapter completed!
