This striker is not serious

Back from timeout, Texas' offense.

Lin Tian once again sent a wonderful pass, but unfortunately Durant's shot missed this time.

No matter how good a shooter is, it is impossible to guarantee a hole in every shot.

Iowa State protects the rebound.

The next round is very critical.

Because if you can no longer prevent the opponent's attack, it means that the timeout cannot stop the opponent's attack, and even the morale of the home team will drop to the bottom.

This time Taylor moved to a 45-degree angle to the right, changing his position, but still using the same tactics.

After tasting the sweetness, they have no reason to take the initiative to seek change.

After Taylor moved to the left, he once again provided a pick-and-roll for the power forward. This time Lin Ying and James made decisive substitutions.

The opponent's power forward still cuts in, and the point guard still passes the ball there.

"Snapped!"

But the ball was intercepted directly by James!

This ball really shows his personal defensive ability.

Although James plays the second position, he swings over.

With his height of 2.01 meters and his body shape, he is completely a three-position player. Coupled with his excellent physical fitness, he is not afraid at all even if he confronts the opponent's power forward.

When the opponent's power forward cut in, he already stood in his position, and then he saw the right moment to grab and steal, cleanly.

And his reaction is also very fast. After stealing the ball, he goes straight to a one-stop fast break.

Before the other players could react, he had already reached the frontcourt and finished with a lever dunk!

Coupled with the alley-oop in front of him and his physical fitness, it's no wonder he became an NBA first-round pick without shooting!

There was a roar after James landed, and the Frank Erving Center was boiling again.

This wave not only successfully defended, but also directly attacked the city to counterattack. The momentum on the field was completely different!

Iowa State University also plays "whirlwind tactics"!

The experience of the first half told them that with the state of the University of Texas tonight, they have no chance of continuing Taylor's one-man show.

On the contrary, the "whirlwind tactic" proposed by Hornacek at halftime worked wonders.

The tactics are changing, and the "whirlwind tactic" is not just about giving the ball to the cutting power forward.

Iowa State quickly showed this on the court. This time the point guard passed the ball to Taylor who came out of the second pick-and-roll.

Taylor catches the ball and prepares to shoot.

But at this moment, Lin Ying had already switched to defense.

The other players from Iowa State University quickly pulled away after seeing this, and a situation quickly formed on the court.

Taylor didn't hesitate, and started to change directions with determination in his eyes.

He didn't forget that he was blocked by James and Lin Ying twice in the opening scene.

Lin Yingfang was relatively far forward.

In his analysis, after Taylor was passed in front, the offense was basically concentrated in the mid-range, so the possibility of Taylor shooting from the outside is much higher than breaking through the basket.

But this time, his analysis was wrong.

Taylor didn't choose to shoot!

He changed direction and broke through, squeezing past Lin Ying, accelerating a second time and sending the ball into the basket before Lin Ying could pursue him.

Iowa State's bench was abuzz.

Hornacek also looked happy. Of course he knew that if this tactic was used too much, the opponent would switch defenses.

That's why he used Taylor as the pick-and-roll man.

Because of the mismatch, Taylor is still very sure of getting the ball into the basket.

Just like this round.

Don't think that Taylor can't beat Lin Ying just because he was caught in the front. If the singles were to open up, it would be difficult for the big players to guard against the small ones.

Lin Ying was also stunned for a moment.

This should be the first time he has encountered such a situation since traveling through time.

Previously, he had always relied on his ability as a data analyst to make choices, including determining how to play, how to handle the ball on the court, how to respond on the defensive end, etc., and achieved very good results.

But the ball just now shows that that doesn’t work?

No, it's not like that!

Soon, he shook his head.

It wasn't that he made a mistake in analyzing the ball just now, but that Taylor changed his offensive method.

Because his defense was advanced, Taylor chose to break through.

The causal relationship should be like this.

Or in other words, in this kind of one-on-one defense, the help that analysis can bring is not as useful as it is at other times.

Take the organization as an example. Tactical movement positions are relatively fixed, so predictions are easy to make.

But in this kind of one-on-one, the opponent can defend in real time to change the offensive method. At this time, personal defensive ability is more important than analysis.

Or you can also understand it as: experience.

Taylor has played in the NCAA for three years, and has much more experience than a newcomer like Lin Ying.

After straightening things out, Lin Ying no longer doubted herself.

On the contrary, it made him realize some of his current shortcomings.

His small defense ability and experience are what he needs to focus on improving.

This is also one of the differences between playing as a starter and as a substitute.

If these aspects are not improved, he will definitely be targeted later in the season.

At that time, he may not be facing players of Taylor's level, but players like Chalmers or even Conley.

During the transition between offense and defense, Iowa State University's defensive enthusiasm became significantly higher.

Taylor's goal just now is equivalent to continuing the "whirlwind tactics"!

With this move, they have the capital to compete with the University of Texas tonight!

The University of Texas' continuous tactical cooperation had no chance, and saw that the 35-second attack time was less than 10 seconds left.

Lin Ying signaled Durant to come over at this time, and the two played a small coordination game at the top of the key.

Lin Ying handed the ball to Durant and then set up a pick-and-roll.

Durant showed tacit understanding. After receiving the ball, he directly pulled up and shot from outside the three-point line without waiting for the opponent to react.

This is the tactic Lin Ying has played with Augustine before.

The University of Iowa's defense was highly motivated, and the power forward who switched defenses went straight to Durant.

But Durant is not Augustin. After pulling it out, he completely ignored this half-beat interference.

The ball leaves the hand and spins at high speed.

"Whoosh!"

There was a crisp sound, and the three-pointer hit the net.

49 to 34!

The score difference comes to 15 points again!

The cheers at the Frank Ervin Center were overwhelming.

Although Taylor's shot against Lin Ying was very beautiful, the cooperation between Lin Ying and Durant was even more beautiful!

"Defend! Defend!"

The cheers soon turned into shouts.

After returning from the second quarter, we have been chasing points. James' dunk and Durant's three-pointer made the fans excited again!

Things are changing.

This next round is very important for Iowa State University!

If they can't score the ball, then based on the current momentum, there is a high probability that the University of Texas will take away the game in one wave!

Another wave of "whirlwind tactics", and the ball was in Taylor's hands again.

What happened in the previous round will happen again in this round.

Lin Ying once again mismatched Taylor.

A lesson learned, this time his position was obviously not as far forward as before.

Taylor saw the threat from the back three and chose a step-back jumper.

Lin Ying's previous judgment was correct. It was not that his analysis was wrong, but that Taylor chose to attack and defend based on his defense.

And I have to say that Taylor's offensive skills are indeed relatively comprehensive.

It is difficult for an average guard to excel in both sudden shooting skills.

Especially the higher the stage, the stronger the ability required.

Taylor's retreat gave him space to shoot.

But the moment he took action, Lin Ying's interference arrived!

Just like the classic gif in history, Anthony used a beautiful "washing machine spin" to turn around and shake Antetokounmpo away, but the moment he took action, Antetokounmpo was still fooled.

Talent can sometimes make up for the technical gap!

Lin Ying's wingspan is his greatest talent.

Moreover, Lin Ying's analysis of this ball is that Taylor will finish it in the mid-range, so although he is standing behind, his center of gravity is forward.

As a result, the ball not only caused interference, but his fingertips also touched the ball.

This is a block!

Lin Ying's height advantage also came into play immediately.

After the ball was hit, it flew directly upward due to backspin. When it fell, he directly caught the ball.

This one-on-one wave, he defended perfectly!

The cheers at the scene erupted again, and the decibels were even higher!

And before the fans' cheers could stop, Lin Ying had already thrown a long pass, leading Augustin forward.

Iowa State University had no time to retreat.

Augustin rode his horse with a spear, reached the frontcourt, jumped up, and unexpectedly chose...a dunk to finish!

A player who can be rated as a five-star high school student, even if he is a guard, he can dunk!

This dunk made waves and completely detonated the Frank Erwin Center.

"Longhorn! Longhorn!"

The fans shouted in unison, like a war song, with golden drums filling the sky!

The outcome is decided!!

71 to 53.

The University of Texas won its strongest victory since the beginning of the season.

Durant scored 25 points, and more important than his scoring was his offensive efficiency. He made 11 of 15 shots from the field, almost without missing a shot.

Durant performed well, and Lin Ying was equally good.

In the first start of his NCAA career, Lin Ying posted all-around statistics of 11 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks!

Although he failed to complete the "triple-double" he and Durant talked about before the game, as a role player, such a performance is amazing enough!

And compared to statistics, Lin Ying’s biggest help in the game is organization.

The number of assists only reflects one aspect of the organization, and more cannot be reflected in the data.

Only those who have watched the game know how much Lin Ying helped Texas on both offense and defense tonight.

Under his leadership, August had 14 points and 5 assists, and James had 13 points and 4 rebounds.

Both players' performance is above their season average.

After the game, Barnes made a very special move when the players came off the field.

He always patted the shoulders of other team members, but when he was dealing with Lin Ying, he reached out and touched his head.

After Springman saw this action, Springman silently gave Lin Ying a thumbs up.

Others don't know, but he knows very well that this is Barnes' special move.

Generally, he will only do this kind of action when the team members' performance is particularly in line with his requirements.

Aldridge, Gibson, and Tucker all received such treatment last season.

This shows that Lin Ying only needed one game to win the absolute trust of Barnes.

This also makes Springman more optimistic about Lin Ying's prospects.

In the locker room after the game, the University of Texas players were very excited and surrounded Lin Ying, shouting.

The players know better than anyone what is the key to their victory tonight.

And in black culture, this kind of post-game celebration is normal.

Lin Ying was obviously a little uncomfortable with it.

Not to mention cultural differences, his personality is not suitable for this situation.

Fortunately, Springman came to the rescue shortly after.

He called Lin Ying outside alone and said a word to him.

"Come to my room tonight, I have something good to show you."

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment and looked at Springman with doubtful eyes, receiving a confirming look from the latter.

This made him a little confused.

Springman probably wanted to talk to Barnes about something, but he left without saying much.

When he returned to the locker room, he was still a little confused, and he didn't react until Durant patted him.

He has a withdrawn personality and rarely communicates with other people, so he communicates more with mobile phones and other things.

This includes some messy movies.

"What's wrong?"

Durant looked confused. What did Springman say that scared Lin Ying?

"Ross asked me to go to his room at night and said he wanted to show me something."

Lin Ying looked at Durant with pleading eyes.

"This is a good thing!"

Durant said as he habitually bumped Lin Ying's shoulder.

But when he saw Lin Ying's eyes, he nodded.

Girls hold hands when going to the toilet, and boys go to the coach's room together at night. What's the point?

At night, Springman heard a knock on the door and was stunned for a moment when he opened the door and saw two people.

But it was just a little unexpected, and he then greeted them both to the room.

After sitting down, Springman took out a notebook.

"This is a basic handbook of college basketball tactics."

It wasn't until Springman spoke that Lin Ying realized that he might be thinking too much.

"I can see your ability to read the game, but you probably haven't received systematic training in basketball tactics. This will help you."

Whether it was because of Lin Ying's outstanding performance today or because of Barnes' attitude that made Springman have higher expectations for Lin Ying, in short...he was overly talented.

And probably to make Lin Ying believe that it would be helpful to him, he asked Lin Ying a question.

"What do you think is the key to breaking a zone defense?"

A very simple question.

"Three-point shot."

Lin Ying thought for a while and said.

Springman smiled and nodded, but then shook his head.

"Yes, but also no."

These words confused Lin Ying and made Durant scratch his head.

Where is Springman talking about philosophy?

"The best weapon to break the zone defense is the three-point shot, but the key is to form a local pattern of more and less."

What Springman said next was very professional.

In the following period, Lin Ying opened another door to a new world.
