Green held the ball in the frontcourt, and Georgetown University made another chin series.
In this round, they showed the versatility of Princeton's tactics.
After the University of Texas chased points, the defensive enthusiasm was high. Hibbert's continuous pick-and-roll did not create the cutting opportunity for Green just now.
Then Green gave the ball to Hibbert, and the chin series directly turned to the high post series. He took Hibbert's back door, received the ball, and scored with a flying dunk.
22 to 20!
This dunk instantly ignited the fans of Georgetown University.
The feeling of being chased by the University of Texas for points is very depressing!
Thompson III also reached out and pumped his fist on the sidelines.
Although Green's personality is not very suitable to be the team leader, he still stood up when the team needed it!
After Georgetown University retreated to halftime, Thompson III also began to show his coaching ability.
Under his instruction, Georgetown University also defended a 2-3 zone defense.
After this zone defense came out, Hibbert no longer had to fight with Lin Ying, but returned to the penalty area he was most familiar with.
There is nothing wrong with this idea, and the response is fast enough.
The University of Texas uses 2-3 to limit Hibbert's low-post scoring ability, and he can naturally use this to limit Durant's.
When Lin Ying arrived at the frontcourt and saw Georgetown University's defensive adjustments, he also made tactical gestures.
Triangle tactics, "weak side horns".
Augustin gave the ball to Lin Ying, and he used Lin Ying to cover the right three-point line and cut from the outside.
Lin Ying saw the opportunity and hit the ball. After receiving the ball, Augustin broke through to the basket.
Georgetown's zone defense also moved so that it was facing Augustin with the ball.
At this time, the 45-degree bull angle on the weak side has been completely shorted.
The most critical thing in breaking a zone defense is to attack more and show up less.
Abrams moved over quickly, Augustin broke through to the basket and passed the ball.
A beautiful tactic and an excellent three-point opportunity.
Abrams caught the ball and made a three-point jumper.
Although Barnes usually gets scolded the most, he is already a sophomore after all, and his mental quality and ability to adapt to the game are obviously stronger.
Compared to Augustin, his shots are much more stable.
And just like Springman said in the first training session: Abrams worked hard in the past!
There was no reason for him to miss this excellent open opportunity.
"Whoosh!"
With a crisp sound, Abrams' shot penetrated the net.
22 to 23!
The University of Texas overtakes us!
Abrams jumped excitedly after hitting the three-pointer.
In fact, his condition got better and better in the second half of the league season, but because he was playing as a substitute, he didn't attract so much attention.
In order to buy his own AJ, he has to work hard!
The camera once again showed Thompson III on the sidelines.
His expression was even more sad than before.
It wasn't because of Abrams' three-pointer, but just now he discovered something else:
Lin Ying's organizational skills are terrifying!
Make the most beneficial offensive choice for the team at the first moment you discover the zone defense. No ordinary point guard can do this!
Georgetown's frontcourt continues to play high-post series.
Lin Ying took the initiative to distance himself from Hibbert this time, positioning himself closer to the basket.
As usual, he reorganized the information of Georgetown University players before the game and then did some analysis.
Although Jeff Green is versatile, his three-point shooting in college was not stable, and he still relied on attacking the basket to score more points.
Just like the ball in the last round, Green broke through the basket very quickly, and his previous outside position had no time to help defend.
But if he stands further in, he will have a chance.
At this moment, Hibbert didn't wait for Green to take the back door and directly chose a mid-range jumper!
The judgment from the "team boss" is the same choice as Pittman before.
His posture is still very standard.
However, this ball exposed his basketball IQ.
Pitman moves slowly, but Lin Ying is not!
And what’s more important than movement speed is Lin Ying!
Even if he hasn't played against each other before, he should have noticed from the beginning of the game that Lin Ying is a very smart player.
Since Lin Ying dared to shrink to that position, it meant that he could return to defend in place.
Hibbert originally thought he was quite stable, but when he saw Lin Ying, who was about to rush towards him, he panicked.
Someone treated you to two big hotpots, but you still remember it?!
There was even a moment when he felt a little disgusted with his own speed.
If he could cum faster, Lin Ying would be too late!
Then he instinctively raised the angle of his shot.
This scene is a bit outrageous in the eyes of fans...
A 2.18-meter center actually took the initiative to increase the arc of his shot before a 2-meter player could pounce, and his shot was obviously a little panicked!
Of course this is not the most incredible thing.
The most incredible thing is that after the ball was released, it looked short, and when it finally reached the basket, it turned out to be... a non-touch!
Directly, it made me laugh!!
The ball goes out of bounds, and the ball belongs to the University of Texas!
The scene was agitated, mixed with laughter from University of Texas fans.
If Hibbert were a stock, then those who hold shares have experienced ups and downs in life!
One second I was thinking of a Sanya villa with sea views, and the next second I was thinking of a thatched roofed house with a 360° panoramic skylight.
This ups and downs are really exciting!
Well, Thompson III is that shareholder.
How much Hibbert's performance surprised him before, now Hibbert's performance makes him so fucked up.
He also realized that the psychological quality of Georgetown's current center would be a big problem.
However, the anxious situation at this time prevented him from considering those details.
His command from the sideline allowed Georgetown to switch back to man-to-man coverage.
Similar to what Barnes said earlier, insisting on a zone defense after discovering that the opponent has a good outside touch is asking for trouble.
But unlike Barnes, even if the man-to-man marking problem is switched back, the problem is still not solved.
Lin Ying pulled Hibbert out from the three-point line, and Durant had a one-on-one opportunity under the basket.
And it is worth noting that the triangle tactic requires a certain distance between positions, and both the strong and weak sides are widely separated.
Unless Georgetown resolutely puts itself on one side, it won't be able to help defend.
This is also the biggest impact Lin Ying's playing center has had on the triangle tactics.
In the past, when he played power forward, he still needed Wendell to block the opposite center under the basket, but now that step is gone.
Just a multiple-choice question about death: My best friend and I will swap souls, which one do you choose?
Ah no, it's Lin Ying's three-pointer or Durant's single. You have to choose which one to play!
And there is no time for you to think, Lin Ying lobbed the ball inside in the next second.
Thompson III helped Hibbert pick this time. As he shouted, Hibbert shrank to the basket to help defend Durant.
Durant has already scored 4 points in a row under the basket, but Lin Ying has not yet taken a shot from the outside.
Choose the lesser of two evils, there is nothing wrong with this choice!
Durant returned the ball to Lin Ying early.
Lin Ying received the ball from the three-point line and fired directly!
This round is very similar to the previous round in which Lin Ying defended Hibbert, except that their positions were swapped.
The result is naturally completely different.
Lin Ying's three-point shot is not slow, and it is impossible for Hibbert to save from the basket to the three-point line.
The person assisting on the weak side has no time to come up at this time.
A shot with little disruption.
Lin Ying's shots have a strong sense of rhythm, and his hands have obvious follow-up movements.
Although he is a freshman like Augustin, the difference is that his training volume is far greater than that of the latter.
What training volume brings is self-confidence!
"Whoosh!"
There was a crisp sound of entering the network.
The basketball fell heavily into the net bag.
Lin Ying’s three-pointer also scored!
22 to 26!
The University of Texas, in turn, leads Georgetown by 4 points!
The University of Texas fans are really excited now.
If they continue playing at this pace, they are really likely to be upset!
Durant also excitedly ran to Lin Ying and gave him a high-five.
Well, right in front of Thompson III on the Georgetown University bench!
Thompson III was already scratching his head anxiously at this time.
And it doesn’t matter if you don’t scratch it, you will find hair on your hands when you scratch them!
This is, going bald!
In history, when Jeff Van Gundy met Okur, he scratched almost all of his few hair, making his forehead even more shiny.
In this era, only the person involved knows how uncomfortable it would be for a traditional center to encounter a space inside line.
So, Springman, like Lin Ying, also traveled through time?!
The answer is of course no!
It's not surprising that Springman thought of letting Lin Ying play the fifth position.
Originally, Lin Ying's height would have been more suitable for him as a small forward, but he had enough strength, weight, and agility to play inside.
Then he also practiced three-pointers.
So just as he originally imagined, he is now a serious space insider.
In addition, the University of Texas has been playing Durant's low-post triangle tactics. If he plays too much, he will naturally pay more attention to space issues.
Then came the opportunity of meeting Hibbert. I already thought that if I couldn't prevent it, I might as well give it a try.
This is how the University of Texas' current "five small lineups" came to be.
Looking back at history, it was the playoffs between the Pacers and the Hawks that made Hibbert suffer from autism.
Hibbert was playing against a player named Pero Antic.
Perhaps only very experienced fans have heard of this name.
He is 2.11 meters tall and weighs 118 kilograms. He is the first Macedonian player to join the NBA.
He only played in the NBA for two years before returning to Europe to play. During his career, he averaged 6.3 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of only about 40%.
It was such a player who made Hibbert so autistic that he had 0 points and 0 rebounds in 2 games of the 7-game series!
Don't think that Hibbert was already "Gao Yuanyuan" at that time. On the contrary, that year, he played his career masterpiece in the series against the Heat, averaging 20+10 per game!
That is Hibbert at his peak.
The only reason for Hibbert's poor performance is that Antic is a 3D inside man who can shoot three-pointers and defend well.
The match scene was much more brutal than tonight.
This kind of player can be said to be Hibbert's nemesis!
So this wave was completely accidental.
Then some people may ask whether this will directly advance the small ball era?
The answer is also no.
The emergence of the small ball era is indeed the development of basketball, but it requires many opportunities, from league rules to changes in basketball concepts, etc.
At least it's impossible in this day and age.
The most direct point is that there are still many outstanding big men in the league.
O'Neal can still play, Yao Ming is still at his peak, and more importantly, Duncan and Nowitzki can also swing to the fifth position.
They can knock you off the court on the offensive end, and the zone defense can't defend you.
So they are not afraid of space insiders at all.
Not to mention the issue of rules.
So, tonight is a complete "accident"!
The best surprise for UT fans.
Then, the unexpected competition continues!!
Georgetown University's frontcourt offense, Hibbert didn't dare to shoot even if he was let go this time.
Green cut in and caught the ball for a layup.
Lin Ying's positioning worked, he shrank early and interfered with Green's layup.
Green's layup finally hit the basket, but Hibbert also rushed into the paint at this time.
The body weighing more than 200 kilograms flew up and tried to make up for it through Lin Ying.
Of course, Lin Ying was not in the air. He took off the second time and hit the ball hard.
"Bang!"
Hibbert's follow-up dunk was so powerful that it was overwhelming...
Missed...
Although he couldn't stop Hibbert from making up the dunk, Lin Ying got the ball in the last shot!
Hibbert:&*%&……￥￥&!
Literal translation: Why the hell is it you again!
He was risked, shot and defended, but now the only way to relieve his anger is that the buckle flew off!
Damn, keep a line in your life!
Fortunately, the referee's whistle saved him.
Maybe the picture was too bloody and the referee couldn't bear it.
The whistle came 2 seconds late, and the referee signaled Lin Ying's blocking foul.
There were boos at the scene.
Barnes also rushed to the technical stage and spit out sweet scent.
The referee also knew that he was in the wrong and did not call Barnes a technical foul, but politely sent him back.
On the court, Hibbert had two free throw opportunities.
This was also his rare free throw opportunity after Lin Ying came on the court.
His free throw percentage this season is as high as 71%.
This hit rate is already very good for a big man.
At this point, he is still on par with Yao Ming.
The scene was filled with boos.
He took a deep breath.
"Dang!"
But I don’t know if it was because of a guilty conscience, but his first free throw was quite outrageous and almost missed the frame!
The boos turned to boos and whistles in an instant.
Hibbert felt that his palms were sweating unconsciously...
"Dang!"
Then, he didn't make his second free throw!
Lin Ying protected the post defensive rebound, and Georgetown University's score still failed to score!!
This time the whistles and cheers at the scene became even louder.
I have to say that Hibbert completely inspired the atmosphere tonight!
The opening moment was to ignite the atmosphere, and the past section was to drive the entertainment atmosphere!
For the University of Texas' offense, Lin Ying continued to organize the offense.
Now the University of Texas is in the lead, and Georgetown University has a scoring shortage, which is a good opportunity to open up the score.
A corner pick-and-roll, Williams suddenly passed to Lin Ying.
Well, as Durant said when he complained before, the ball is released a little slowly.
When Lin Ying caught the ball and shot a three-pointer, he was interfered by Green, who was assisting on defense.
"when!"
This time his shot failed to hit.
However, Durant used his height advantage under the basket to grab an offensive rebound.
As soon as he got the rebound, it was like stabbing an ant's nest. Everyone, including Hibbert, pounced on him.
It was at this time that he noticed Lin Ying rushing towards the basket.
After missing the three-pointer, Lin Ying did not stand still, but immediately rushed to the basket.
When Durant saw it, an idea flashed in his head.
Originally preparing to take a quick shot, he suddenly changed his focus and threw the ball directly over the basket.
Alley-oop pass!
Well, the ball was not passed much better than Williams's, and it was passed directly in the direction of Hibbert's head.
When Lin Ying saw the pass, he was led to jump up.
At this time, it was no longer time for him to consider the quality of the pass. He struggled to grab the ball in the air, and then smashed it towards the basket with his long arms!
"Bang!"
Good guy!
With the widened eyes of all the fans at the scene, Lin Ying took the ball in the air and smashed it directly into the basket through Hibbert!
Chapter completed!
