The opening ceremony ended and the starters from both teams took the stage one after another.

Jump ball by Hibbert and Wendell at midfield.

The cheers at the scene have already started.

Even though the cheers hadn't reached their peak, they were already causing a stinging sensation in people's eardrums.

The University of Texas players all frowned in unison.

This does make them feel a little uncomfortable!

"beep!"

Just then the referee blew the whistle and the ball was thrown straight into the air.

Hibbert flicked the ball back into Georgetown's half.

Compared with the University of Texas, Georgetown University plays games of this size several times every year, so they are obviously much more adaptable.

Wallace controlled the ball and advanced steadily to half court.

Seeing that the University of Texas was guarding man-to-man in the opening game, he reached out and made a tactical gesture.

Under his command, Georgetown University began to play tactical tactics.

Hibbert drops down low, then two players are on the strong side and two players are on the weak side.

This is the most common 2-1-2 positioning in Princeton's system.

This position is very similar to the triangle offense, or it should be said that most low post offenses are played like this.

Hibbert backed Wendell, and Wallace lobbed the ball in.

After getting the ball, Hibbert didn't rush to attack. He glanced at Lin Ying's position behind him, and then started to play from behind.

At this time, the existence of Samos is very important.

Because he has the same shooting range as Lin Ying, Lin Ying does not dare to let him go directly to help defend the basket.

The result was that Hibbert leaned against Wendell and then slowly turned around and put up a layup.

It is impossible to dunk. With Hibbert's explosive power, you can think of him as the real Yao Ming.

But it was this kind of layup, and faced with the absolute height and strength gap, Wendell had no power to parry.

Barnes shook his head when he saw it.

Although it was only the first round, the disadvantages of the University of Texas inside were fully exposed.

Fortunately, the University of Texas' offensive attack felt good. Durant faced Summers' low post and turned around and hit the ball backwards.

This ball is played very easily.

Georgetown University did not arrange a matchup defense, but asked Summers, who played power forward, to be misplaced to guard Durant.

This is not surprising, Durant's height is still suppressed even when playing the third position.

For example, when Kansas and the University of Texas played, Arthur and Wright were playing power forward most of the time to defend Durant.

Moreover, Georgetown University's small forward is Jeff Green, and the team has to rely on his offensive firepower.

Speaking of Samos, his technical characteristics are very similar to Lin Ying's, but his talent, especially his wingspan, is a notch behind Lin Ying's.

Not to mention how terrifying Durant's wingspan is, he often engages in offensive and defensive battles with Lin Ying in the training hall.

Therefore, he has adapted to Lin Ying's defense with a wingspan, and it is natural that someone of Summers' level is not a problem.

Moreover, Hibbert is too slow to help defend.

So after Durant played the ball, Barnes smiled again.

I'm at a disadvantage inside, but you can't guard Durant in the low post!

Even if you beat me up like this, the University of Texas will not lose.

Wallace continued to control the ball to the frontcourt, and Hibbert also dropped to the low post.

And this time he reached for the ball before he was completely in position.

The ball in front was just a small test of his skills, but he will show off his strength next time!

But at this time, Wendell adjusted his defensive strategy, withdrew the bench from behind and then went around!

Although his ability is not particularly outstanding, as a veteran player who has played in the NCAA for three years, he still has a lot of experience.

But his trick didn't work.

Because the one holding the ball right now is Wallace, who is also a junior.

Hibbert was suddenly removed from the bench and lost his focus, but fortunately, Wallace did not choose to pass the ball, but turned his head and gave the ball to Green on the wing.

After Green got the ball and faced James, he grabbed the ball with one hand like Tracy McGrady, and the next second he suddenly accelerated and broke through.

James, didn't follow.

Green is known for his versatility in the NCAA.

Generally speaking, this kind of player can easily become completely incompetent in the NBA, and then disappear from the public.

But Green is still thriving in the NBA.

If not for a devastating aortic aneurysm, he likely would have been an All-Star.

So you should be able to understand that his versatility is really everything in the NCAA!

Green's second acceleration after his breakthrough gave James no chance to pursue him.

After seeing this, Wendell could only help defend.

When Green saw it, he threw the ball into the air without saying a word.

Hibbert had already adjusted his center of gravity at this time. When he saw the ball coming, he jumped slightly and pressed the ball with his left hand before hitting the basket.

"Bang!"

There was a huge muffled sound.

Because of his height, this kind of alley-oop does not require him to have much explosive power, but the effect of the alley-oop is very shocking!

And the key is strength.

Although Hibbert is slow, he is big and powerful. This hit will really break the frame.

This alley-oop also ignited Hibbert's emotions. He turned back and glared at Wendell fiercely.

The stadium was instantly filled with cheers from Georgetown University fans.

If the offense in the first two rounds could be described as smooth, then this dunk suddenly had a huge ups and downs, reaching the highest point at once.

The emotions of Georgetown University fans were ignited early!

"Defend! Defend!"

Only two rounds into the game, deafening shouts began to ring out from the stadium.

The sound was like a sonic boom that kept blasting in the ears, and the University of Texas players were already a little stunned.

Amid the shouting, Georgetown University's defensive enthusiasm was also very high.

Augustin and James had no chance in the weak-side triangle, and their intention to turn around and pass the ball to Lin Ying was too obvious, and was predicted by Green.

After a saved steal, Green took off his feet and ran forward after grabbing the ball.

Under the gaze of more than 60,000 spectators, Green looked back and saw that no one was catching up, then took a step inside the free throw line and took off into the air.

"Bang!"

A flat-framed one-arm gliding chop!

At this time, the emotions of Georgetown University fans were completely ignited.

A large number of fans stood up from their seats and waved their fists vigorously.

This is a rhythm they are familiar with.

In the past season, Hibbert and Green led them to great success.

Tonight, Durant and his University of Texas will also become another stepping stone on their way to the championship!

At the Georgia Dome, the shouts are still there.

Lin Ying got the ball early this time, and then steadily fed the ball to Durant.

Durant continued to hit Summers in low post.

Samos also learned a lesson after suffering, and this time he went to the outside to defend himself.

Durant also reacted quickly, almost turning around and hitting the basket.

This ball also showed off Durant's most buggy talent.

His height, wingspan, and shooting are actually not his scariest things. The scariest thing about him is his coordination.

There had never been a player of his height yet so agile.

but!

Unfortunately, it was Hibbert standing under the basket.

Durant was directly pressed down by Hibbert before taking the shot!
