This striker is not serious

Probably not.

Durant has never led a team to the NCAA finals in history!

"children."

While the University of Texas players were still feeling uncomfortable, Barnes had already called them together.

"Forget everything that happened in the past 40 minutes and focus on the next 5 minutes. Believe in yourself and we can still win the game."

There is only one minute of rest between the regular season and overtime. As the head coach, he must immediately adjust the emotions of his players.

One minute passed very quickly. After the short whistle sounded on the sidelines, the starting players of both sides continued to return to the court.

The lineups on both sides of the court were the same as they were in the last minute decider.

Jump ball from Wendell and Horford.

Wendell took the lead and gave Texas the opportunity to take the lead in overtime.

Overtime is not only a psychological test for players, but also a physical test.

Because Wendell plays less time, his physical fitness is still sufficient compared to other University of Texas players.

In the triangle attack in the frontcourt, Lin Ying found Durant.

However, the University of Florida's defense quickly stepped up, and Brewer quickly moved up to Durant before he made a move.

"when!"

Durant's shot finally hit the basket.

Horford protected the defensive rebound, and the University of Florida launched a wave of defensive counterattacks.

Green's counterattack layup gave Florida University the first score in overtime.

Looking back, James cut in to catch the ball and was blocked by Horford.

Although another wave of defensive counterattacks by the University of Florida failed, Humphrey followed up with a three-pointer and scored!

As soon as overtime came, the University of Florida beat the University of Texas 5-0!

The Texas fans at the scene were agitated.

They were still celebrating the championship before, but now they see that the team is so far behind again.

Moreover, the overtime was short, and these 5 points were fatal enough.

Barnes reached out and called a timeout.

There are only 2 timeouts in the 5 minutes of overtime.

Timeouts are valuable, but UT is in a more dangerous situation than that.

"That step on the line is very hurtful!"

Over at the live broadcast booth, Yang Yi sighed.

Although both teams were on the same starting line in overtime, it is undeniable that the psychological changes of the two teams are completely different.

The University of Florida is "resurrected", with a direct 200% game accuracy;

The victory that the University of Texas had won was gone. Even with Barnes' reminder, it would be difficult to achieve 100%.

After all, humans are not machines, and it will definitely take time to recover from psychological shock.

It's a pity that they don't have time.

"Defense! Where's your defense?! Is your year's hard work going to be ruined like this in the end?

Show your courage, we must defend!"

Barnes was also in a hurry and didn't even bother to make some chicken soup.

But there's nothing wrong with what he said. In overtime, everyone doesn't have much physical energy. Only if we defend well can we have a chance.

Back from timeout, Texas has the ball.

Durant's three-point shot from outside.

"when!"

still none!

His physical fitness was a problem to begin with, and coupled with the fact that he was injured, he couldn't score!

Moreover, Horford was stuck with Lin Ying under the basket, Richard protected the defensive rebound, and the University of Texas' offense after the timeout failed to continue!

The University of Florida also played more and more vigorously, and just after grabbing the board, there was another wave of defensive counterattacks.

Although he did not directly score, Green took the ball and rushed to the basket as the University of Texas defense was not on a stable footing.

"boom!"

Lin Ying fought back to defend and gave Green a nail-biter.

But Brewer followed up and scored directly with a dunk in the air!

After landing, Brewer roared towards the sidelines.

81 to 74!

The University of Florida launched a 7-0 offensive in overtime, pushing the score to 7 points!

There is less than 2 minutes left before the end of overtime.

In the NCAA, which has a 35-second shot time, this is almost an insurmountable barrier.

Lin Ying's expression looked a little annoyed. He blocked the first wave but not the second wave.

The Texas fans at the scene even covered their faces and did not dare to watch.

This is no longer just falling from heaven to earth, but falling directly into hell.

That feeling makes one unable to breathe.

Barnes, called timeout again!

After only two rounds, a timeout was called, and Barnes was a little confused.

After all, after so many years of coaching, this is his first time on a stage of this level.

But you can't actually blame him.

With the current score and situation, even if the score difference is widened by 2 points, the remaining timeout will actually be unnecessary.

It's just...when there was a timeout, Barnes held the tactical board and didn't speak for a long time.

What could he say?

Tactics?

At this time, both sides of the physical strength are empty, so there is no strategy. Whoever can throw the ball in is the best.

None of the points scored by the University of Florida came from positional battles, they were all scored by defensive counterattacks!

chicken soup?

Only two rounds have passed since his last timeout!

And let alone making chicken soup at this time, it won't work if you drag him to make soup!

The bench was inexplicably quiet.

But time passes by little by little.

There really isn’t much time left for the University of Texas!

"Is it just like losing? Is the whole season's hard work in vain?"

"Give up! You have worked hard enough. There are many things that cannot be changed by an individual!"

"No, it can't be like that! What else can I do!"

"What can you do? You've done everything you can do, what else can you do?"

…

In Lin Ying's mind, there were two villains fighting crazily.

The timeout was running out, and Springman was about to stand up and say something.

"No! Not us!"

But just then, someone spoke.

And the person who spoke surprised everyone.

It's Lin Ying!

Lin Ying looked very excited.

"Someone's going to walk out of this arena tonight because they lost, but it's not us!

Some people will go back to the dressing room and cry after the game, but not us!

Some people will be upset and regret not giving their best in the last two minutes of the game, but it’s not us!”

Everyone on the bench was shocked!

Not only because of Lin Ying’s overwhelming rhetoric, but also because the person who said this... was Lin Ying!

Who is Lin Ying?

The least talkative guy on the team!

Durant looked at Lin Ying like a monster.

This feeling was even more incredible to him than when Monica woke up that morning and said, "How about we do it for the eighth time?"

"We still have time to fight and fight with all our strength! Just for ourselves!"

Lin Ying continued, and after speaking, he stretched out his hand and looked at his teammates with burning eyes.

"Yes, just for ourselves!"

Durant came to his senses and was the first to stand up.

Although he didn't know why Lin Ying suddenly became different, what Lin Ying said was right.

Even if it's just for themselves, they can't give up so easily!

James, Augustine, Wendell, Abrams...

Regardless of whether they were on the court or not, the players stacked their hands one after another.

"For yourself!"

Then, shout in unison!

The scene before him shocked Barnes.

He might never have thought that when the team's morale was at its lowest, the person who stood up to encourage the team would be Lin Ying.

Moreover, the effect is so good!

However, Lin Ying's words also reminded him.

In the last two minutes, the University of Texas had no time to play straight with the University of Florida.

Going all-or-nothing is the only option.

After the timeout, players from both sides return to the court again.

The University of Texas made personnel adjustments, Abrams came on to replace Wendell!

"The University of Texas is preparing for a final push! There is still enough time!"

Yang Yi provided timely information in the commentary box.

Although theoretically speaking, the University of Texas has little hope of a comeback, but that is just a theory, anything is possible before the final buzzer sounds!

And he also saw the different mental outlook of the University of Texas after returning from the timeout.

Augustin controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and the University of Texas attacked in the frontcourt.

They did not run too complicated tactics. After a simple weak-side corner, Abrams received the ball and went straight into the University of Florida penalty area.

Lin Ying blocked Richard under the basket, but Horford showed his top flexibility and blocked the shot towards Abrams.

Abrams dodges a mid-air pull-up and goes for a layup!

This ball is really elegant, but also really difficult.

Moreover, after taking action, he lost his center of gravity and rolled directly on the ground to protect himself.

"boom!"

The ball bounced off the board, and then... bounced into the net bag!

"beep!"

And the referee's whistle came too late.

This is still a 2+1!

Abrams made a mark when he came on the scene!

The scene suddenly burst into cheers from Texas fans.

This is the first goal scored by the University of Texas in overtime!

Lin Ying and Durant immediately went over and pulled Abrams up from the ground.

Lin Ying also reached out and patted Abrams' left buttocks.

Durant glanced at Lin Ying in surprise: There is something wrong with you!

This time, Barnes made a mistake.

He himself also ignored the advantage of physical fitness in overtime.

Just like Wendell was able to beat Horford with a jump ball in overtime, Abrams played less in the second half and is now very physical.

Of course, this also depends on the player's ability and condition.

Abrams' ability on the offensive end is undoubted. Judging from his season performance, if it weren't for his defense, entering the NBA would not be a problem.

As for his condition, thanks to the University of Texas starting to play smaller lineups after entering the "Crazy Three", he has been playing a lot of playing time and his condition is quite good.

The 13 points against Georgetown University and the 15 points against UNLV are the most direct proof.

The Florida fans at the scene made noises of interference, but Abrams took a deep breath and hit the extra penalty steadily!

81 to 77!

The score difference was suddenly reduced to 4 points!

However, the University of Florida responded very quickly. When they turned around, they arrested Abrams and beat him.

Abrams was run over by Brewer all the way into the penalty area, and Brewer finally knocked away Abrams' layup.

But the moment Brewer took action, Lin Ying's help came again!

Lin·Everywhere·Shadow!

Brewer had already been fooled twice by Lin Ying before, and he was instinctively afraid of adjusting his shooting angle.

"when!"

This adjustment allowed him to avoid another block by Lin Ying, but... his final shot hit the basket!

Durant shrank back to collect the defensive rebound!

The University of Florida's offense was blocked!

1 minute, 4 points behind, still a chance!

The Texas fans at the scene gasped uncontrollably.

This is new hope, but it is very small. Whether it can suddenly grow bigger like a flame depends on the next round!

A crucial round!

Augustin continued to control the ball in the frontcourt.

The University of Texas still beats Abrams!

Another floaty layup off a screen by Abrams.

This time Horford didn't follow up and reached out to block the shot.

But because the basket was too crowded, the referee didn't see it and didn't blow the whistle!

"when!"

Abrams hit the basket this time!

The bottom-line Texas fans shouted for a foul anxiously, but it had no effect.

Seeing the opportunity slip away from the University of Texas again.

At this moment, it was Lin Ying, stretching out his long arms in the crowd and grabbing the offensive rebound!

Noah's absence will have little impact on the University of Florida, but it may not have no impact.

The biggest impact is naturally the protection of rebounds!

Moreover, Lin Ying's reaction was very fast. He almost stood up the next second after taking off the backboard.

"Bang!"

Before Richard and Horford could react, Lin Ying smashed the ball directly into the basket!

Good guy, after all this, Lin Ying can still score!

How long-lasting this must be!

81 to 79!

The point difference was reduced to 2 points, one goal!

This time, the opportunity has really come!

Donovan reached out and called a timeout.

This wave of points chasing by the University of Texas came too suddenly!

"Huchihuchi~"

When walking to the bench, Lin Ying gasped for air.

When the physical fitness tank is completely empty, this kind of dunk is simply a challenge to the physical limit.

But, it is necessary!

Especially when the team is chasing points, it will greatly improve the team's morale!

This is indeed the case. This dunk stopped the University of Florida and made the current Texas fans go crazy again.

Barnes applauded the players who came off the field.

And when Lin Ying passed by him, he reached out and touched Lin Ying's head.

Boost morale, defend the basket, and dunk on second offense.

Compared to before, he can now feel Lin Ying's growth more truly!

It is no longer just the shadow beside Durant, the light, but the opportunity to become a leader!

After the timeout, the University of Florida pressed for time.

There are only about 40 seconds left before the end of the game, so they can press on for as long as they can.

Until about 15 seconds before the end, Humphrey held the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Horford, and then gave the ball to Horford.

Horford was out of position and rolled over Abrams toward the basket.

The most critical round, the simplest play, and the ball is in the hands of the most stable player.

Even Brewer and Richard used their strength to block Lin Ying and Durant under the basket.

This is a perfect tactical arrangement. Even if Horford's ball does not score, it can still cause Abrams to foul.

Horford drove to the basket and knocked off Abrams' layup.

"boom!"

The ball hit the board.

The referee's whistle also sounded.

The Florida fans at the scene burst into cheers.

University of Florida, already won!

Even if the referee does not call a foul, with a 4-point lead and 6 seconds, the University of Texas has no way to save the day!

In the end, God chose to side with the University of Florida!

"This is an offensive foul! The line referee's gesture is an offensive foul gesture!"

But at the live broadcast booth, Yang Yi shouted immediately.

Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion on the field.

Because the sideline referee and the head referee had inconsistent gestures, the game entered a technical timeout again.

This penalty is as critical as Durant's step on the line in the regular season!

Defensive fouls and offensive fouls are two completely different results.

In the end, the referee also watched the replay as he did during the regular season.

Then when the replay came out, Abrams stopped outside the reasonable collision zone!

It was an offensive foul, no doubt about it.

After seeing the referee's final penalty, this time Durant couldn't help but excitedly slapped Abrams' right buttocks.

Little AJ has made another great contribution!

Abrams's question mark face:...Left, right, right? You two have agreed upon this!!

ps: After reading this chapter, you should understand the meaning of the previous chapter, right? Durant went into battle injured, and the morale of the University of Texas was strong, and there was no condition for Lin Ying to give a speech. On the contrary, the game ended in overtime, and morale plummeted to the bottom.

Only then would Lin Ying have the opportunity and reason to stand up.

This plot does refer to parts of real-life games, and there are also parts of the round fans who are upset after watching the game, but it is impossible to copy this kind of thing.

I’m not saying this to irritate people. What I want to say is that after writing almost 300,000 words, there should be basic trust between us. This book will not have a chapter about pure water. You can always trust water eggplant.
