After the timeout, Georgetown began to adopt a double-teaming strategy against Chen Yan.
As the commentator just said, Chen Yan's explosive scoring power is too terrifying. Georgetown does not want to be nailed to the pillar of shame like Kansas where Chen Yan scored 62 points in the last round.
Faced with a double attack, Chen Yan did not choose to force himself.
Durant is by his side, and DJ Augustin also has certain scoring ability, so there is no need to force it.
Georgetown wanted to use double teams to force Chen Yan to make mistakes or make some unreasonable shots.
But Chen Yan disappointed them.
Chen Yan's passing ability is also above average, and he can handle the ball calmly when facing double teams most of the time.
Moreover, he has a high IQ and will not wait until he is pinched before choosing to pass the ball forcefully.
Chen Yan first double-teamed Georgetown and directly delivered a scalpel-like pass, assisting Damian James to easily hit the board under the basket.
Then he took the initiative to set up a pick-and-roll for DJ Augustin. After receiving the pass, he made a big leap into the penalty area, and then passed the ball behind his head to Durant who was following up. The young coach took off with his left foot.
The right arm hits the frame and gets two points!
Chen Yan sent two assists in two rounds!
However, more often than not, Chen Yan assists indirectly, or uses his own restraint to take away defensive players, creating a better scoring space for his teammates.
Most fans can't see this, but the scouts on the field can see it.
Scouts from various NBA teams are constantly writing down all the details about Chen Yan on the court. Most of the scouts came here for him tonight.
At 7 minutes and 37 seconds into the first half, Chen Yan's statistics had risen to 14 points, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
This data is already good enough, but his greater contribution to the team is beyond the data.
With Chen Yan on the court, his teammates played more easily, especially Durant.
Not only do you not have to face the pressure of double-teaming, sometimes you even have the opportunity to open up!
This would have been unthinkable a few months ago!
At this time, the score was 36 to 26, and the Texas Longhorns unknowingly had a 10-point lead.
After the dead ball, Texas head coach Rick Barnes substituted Chen Yan.
Chen Yan has said more than once that his physical fitness is very good and he has no problem playing the entire game, but he was rejected by head coach Rick Barnes every time.
Rick Barnes believes that players are not disposable, and as a head coach, you must be responsible for their health and future.
Rick Barnes is definitely one of the best coaches for players in the entire NCAA. He is kind to others, has a gentle attitude, rarely scolds players, and also considers the players' health.
The only flaw is that his techniques and tactics are too simple.
But what tactics does a team need when they have Chen Yan and Durant at the same time?
Giving them the ball and letting them play freely is the best tactic!
Returning to the bench, Texas fans cheered and applauded him.
His teammates on the bench also took the initiative to hand him towels and water. After several rounds of games, Chen Yan clearly felt the change in his status in the team.
While Chen Yan was taking a break, Durant suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Ah! This overwhelming pressure!
"After Chen left the game, Texas' overall offense and defense dropped by a level, and the offensive fluidity was obviously lacking."
"Although KD can still score continuously, it's much harder than when Chen is on the court. He has to consume a lot of energy in every offensive possession," Van Gundy said.
"Yes, he has become Georgetown's number one concern now. DJ Augustin can share some of the burden for him, but hopefully not as much as Chen." Mike Breen nodded, agreeing with Van Gundy's statement.
With 2 minutes and 46 seconds left in the first half, Georgetown had already caught up with the score by only 5 points.
Georgetown University is not a weakling. Their coaching staff is very experienced and their players are all sophomores and juniors. They are very good at seizing the weaknesses of their opponents.
After the dead ball, head coach Rick Barnes sent Chen Yan onto the field again.
This time it was Durant's turn to rest. Rick Barnes's tactic was for the two of them to take turns to rest at the end of the first half and then work together in the second half.
"Leave it to you." Durant gave Chen Yan a high-five when he came off the court.
Georgetown University fans became nervous as soon as they saw Chen Yan on the court.
In their impression, Chen Yan's scoring efficiency is even more terrifying than Durant!
Not only the fans, but also Georgetown University head coach John Thompson III was a little nervous.
"Double-team that guy in a positional battle, be firm!"
"Don't give him a chance for a fast break. If it doesn't work, just foul. Do you understand?" John Thompson III yelled at the sidelines and adjusted his defensive tactics.
He understood that if Chen Yan was allowed to charge, he would be unstoppable.
John Thompson III's tactical layout is correct, but whether the players can execute it is another matter.
As soon as Chen Yan came into the first round, he got a fast break opportunity.
Jeff Green broke through with the ball and was blocked. Just when he spread his hands to complain to the referee, Texas' counterattack had already begun!
Damian James grabbed the rebound and passed it directly to Chen Yan with one move.
Chen Yan's acceleration ability is comparable to that of a Bugatti Veyron. One second after he received the ball, he was in full fifth gear the next second!
It’s not just about speed, Chen Yan also completed two major changes in direction during the process!
Seeing this scene, Iverson couldn't help but stand up.
Changing direction without slowing down?
Is this really killing people?
Chen Yan easily shook off the defensive player and hit a thunderous dunk towards the basket!
After landing, Chen Yan looked back and saw that the player who just defended him was none other than Ewing!
After resting for most of the game, Ewing Jr. was also substituted on the last dead ball.
Unexpectedly, I met Chen Yan again as soon as I came on stage...
Matching up again, Ewing can no longer talk trash.
But this time it was Chen Yan’s turn to spray:
"You have to foul, otherwise you can't guard me!"
After saying that, Chen Yan ran towards the defensive half.
Chen Yan has only one purpose for this kind of opponent who actively provokes him, and that is to torture him to death!
Georgetown offensive possession.
Jeff Green once again held the ball in singles.
He hadn't rested in the first half, so his physical fitness was a little behind.
After the breakthrough, Jeff Green chose to distribute the ball without getting rid of the defensive player.
"Snapped!"
Chen Yan saw the right opportunity and jumped forward.
This ball-stealing was too easy for Chen Yan. He didn't even have to throw away the skills, and he also saved some physical energy...
After stealing the ball, Chen Yan started the Wind Step!
Sprint forward and see only the basket!
Taking advantage of Georgetown University's unstable formation, Chen Yan accelerated and headed towards the inside!
A fast break means that you are on an unsteady footing!
At this time, Georgetown's only defensive player was Ewing Jr.
Seeing how little Ewing never gave up, Chen Yan was so moved that he threw a [Muzongbu] in his face with his backhand!
From left to right, Chen Yan completely bypassed Ewing and then pressed the frame vigorously with one hand!!
"Boom!"
As the basketball fell, it hit little Ewing on the head, causing him a second critical hit!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! With his elegant passing and violent dunks, is there any player more enjoyable to watch than him?"
"Little Ewing can't guard him at all. The two of them are not on the same level!"
"The only thing in little Ewing's body that can keep up with Chen is his eyes."
"A chair is better than him..."
"The chair is an obstacle after all, audience!"
As excited as the fans were in the stadium, Georgetown University head coach John Thompson III was angry on the sidelines.
Before Chen Yan came on the court, he had emphasized many times that he should guard against his fast break and not let him rush forward.
But what’s the result?
Georgetown offense.
Ewing Jr. took the initiative to move to the high post to cover for his teammates.
Jonathan Wallace took a sudden step and handed the ball to Ewing Jr. who passed to the basket.
Ewing Jr. learned the lesson from the opening and did not take a shot rashly. Instead, he faked a shot to try to deceive Chen Yan.
But this fake move did not shake Chen Yan!
The next second, Chen Yan directly posted it!
The space under the basket is already small, and if it is posted like this, Ewing will have no room to jump.
He stumbled and tried to turn around and pass the ball, but because of his poor basic skills, he was called a walk by the referee.
"Fxxk!? Little Patrick, what are you doing? If you don't want to play, you can tell me directly!" The head coach of Georgetown University couldn't help but cursed on the sidelines.
Listening to the coach's roar, the fans' jeers, and Chen Yan's mental attacks from time to time, little Ewing's brain began to buzz and became chaotic.
He didn't even dare to look at where his father was...
Texas offensive possession.
This time, little Ewing finally didn't have to endure Chen Yan's torture alone.
Georgetown adopted a double-team tactic.
Encountered a double team, Chen Yan did not stick to the ball and immediately passed the ball to substitute defender Justin Mason.
It was absolutely open, but Mason, who had just come on the court, had cold hands and didn't dare to shoot.
After a moment of hesitation, the defender returned to his position.
"Oh! What a great opportunity. Justin Mason didn't choose to take action. He hesitated and passed it back to Chen Yan."
"It is not difficult to see through this ball how much the Texas players rely on Chen Yan."
As soon as the two commentators finished speaking, Chen Yan started holding the ball again on the court.
Just when Jonathan Wallace let go and was about to double-team Chen Yan again, Chen Yan suddenly stopped and changed direction!
"Bang!"
A huge crash sounded.
Little Ewing was not knocked down by Chen Yan in this round, but he was staring at Chen Yan's footsteps the whole time and did not notice that his teammates had moved to his side. He directly knocked over his teammates with a lateral move!
A very funny scene!
"Haha, Xiaoyou suddenly exerted his strength and helped Chen Yan break the double team." Van Gundy's comment made countless fans in front of the TV burst into laughter.
After getting rid of the defense, Chen Yan easily broke into the inside.
After attracting the defense, he scored the ball in the air, and Damian James easily took the cake under the basket.
Damian excitedly clapped his hands with Chen Yan. He ate a lot of cakes from Chen Yan tonight.
Little Ewing looked like he was about to cry without tears.
What he experienced tonight cannot be described as a disaster...
However, Chen Yan did not choose to let him go.
Walking to Little Ewing, Chen Yan continued to put pressure on him mentally:
"Your defense is worse than my grandma's stewed pig's trotters!"
"If it weren't for your dad, you wouldn't even be able to play ball here."
In one sentence, little Ewing was completely defeated.
What he usually hates most is when people say he has connections.
At this moment, little Ewing's brain was completely dominated by anger and he completely lost his mind!
"Wow! wow! wow! There was a dispute on the court!" Van Gundy suddenly shouted!
"Little Ewing charged at Chen!"
"Chen is not to be outdone!"
"If the two of them were pushing and shoving, would they throw punches? Will a bigger conflict break out?"
"Oh! It looks like it won't happen anymore. The referee and the coaching staff of both sides separated the two people in time."
Mike Breen was describing the general situation on the court with saliva sputtering.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that explaining conflicts on the field was much more interesting than commentating on games!
The most exciting thing about a college student game is the passion that breaks out on the field. There is no room for conservatism!
Are you kidding? If young people are not arrogant, can they still be called young people?
After the situation calmed down, the referee gave each of them a technical foul.
But little Ewing was already over the top and now wanted to fuck Chen Yan. Even after his teammates forcibly held him back, he was still furious!
Grabbing the basketball on the ground, Little Ewing used a goalkeeper's kick to kick the basketball to the top of the stands!
"Look! Little Ewing is sick!"
"This kick...he should be on the football field not the basketball court!"
"Hahaha, you can't beat a classic game but vent your anger on a basketball!"
"If he had been so fierce on the court just now, he wouldn't have been so completely blown up, right?"
"I don't know what Ewing's expression is now..."
The scene of Ewing's big kick was also captured on live television, triggering crazy ridicule from fans across the United States.
All this happened under the referee's nose, how could he let little Ewing go?
"Beep beep beep!!"
The referee's whistle sounded quickly.
Given two Ts in a row, Ewing was immediately sent off the field!
Good guy, Georgetown head coach John Thompson III was just about to replace Ewing Jr., but he ended up getting his lunch box.
Seeing Ewing Jr. being sent off, the Georgetown fans breathed a sigh of relief. The purpose of this guy's existence today is to give Chen Yan warmth.
With explosive statistics of 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists and 4 turnovers, Ewing Jr. walked into the tunnel with an annoyed look on his face.
The broadcast camera did a very bad job of giving Georgetown star Ewing a big close-up shot.
In the camera, Ewing held his chin and said nothing, his expression not looking very good.
What he regrets most now is probably coming to watch his son play. It's so embarrassing!
