Chapter 40+1 Crazy 3-3 pairs! (2-in-1)(2/4)
"Jeff, I need you to step up."
Green is good at everything, but his personality is too gentle.
This is the area that limits Georgetown University's upper limit, and it is also the area that he needs to overcome most to become a superstar in the future.
Green nodded. He also knew that Georgetown University was on the verge of death.
Back from timeout, Georgetown's offense.
2-1-2 position, one in and four out, Princeton low post series.
But it's not Summers who's in the low post, it's Green!
Green was in a post-up position preparing to hit James in isolation.
From a purely physical perspective, Green does not have much advantage in this matchup.
This choice also reveals Thompson III's helplessness to some extent.
Without Hibbert on the court, there is no inside advantage. The University of Texas' defense is very active, and it is difficult for them to get opportunities when cutting inside.
Plus he can't make any outside shots.
Creating damage in the low position became the only option.
Facts have proved that his arrangement is correct.
Green hit James with his back and made a layup after turning around continuously, causing James's thug to foul.
Although James has excellent physical fitness, his defensive experience and body control ability are much worse than Green.
After all, not every James is named LeBron.
Green's two free throw opportunities.
At this time, there was another substitution on the sidelines. Georgetown University replaced Ewing Jr. with Vernon McLean.
McLean is 2.08 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.14 meters. He is heavier and better at fighting than Ewing Jr.
There was a lot of interference at the scene, and Green made both free throws.
24 to 33.
These two points are crucial.
"Defend! Defend!"
There was an organization at Georgetown University, and the fans cheered for the team.
In a turn-based game, this must be fought back!
The shouts did have an effect. The University of Texas did not get a chance in a corner pick-and-roll, and the ball returned to Lin Ying's hands.
Lin Ying then stretched out his hand to signal, still playing low singles.
Durant caught the ball inside, leaned forward, and then jumped toward the free throw line for a close jump shot.
It can be seen from playing against Ewing before that Durant's style of play in the low post is very unique.
He is obviously different from Hibbert's hard-charging inside, and he uses his physical talents more to play.
His greatest talent has been mentioned before, which is that he is so tall but has the speed and flexibility of a defender.
This allows him to turn around and lean back like Jordan, or he can use the speed difference to hit the opponent's inside defender in the low post like he did with the ball just now.
At this time, it is usually difficult for the other party to keep up.
McLean was helpless at this time.
Because Durant couldn't take full advantage of him by playing like this. Looking at his speed and straight-arm jump shot, he could only extend his hand symbolically.
"boom!"
Durant's shot bounced off the board and into the basket.
24 to 35.
The score difference has reached 11 points!
Green, continues to ask for the ball in the low post.
After returning from the timeout, the two sides started to play low-post attacks!
However, James is not just a piece of meat on the chopping board, he keeps pushing him out when Green is in charge.
Green's position was obviously a bit outside when he wanted to get the ball.
Green took a look and changed from the back frame to the front frame.
A fake shot, then grab the ball with one hand and go directly to the baseline to break through.
He was faster than James, so he just squeezed past.
In the blink of an eye, he reached the basket and jumped up for a layup.
But at this moment he felt a chill behind him.
After James chased him, he jumped up and prepared to chase the goal!
He has no advantage in terms of technical experience, but his physical fitness and jumping ability are very strong!
Green felt it, and he originally wanted to go for a layup, so he directly chose to dunk!
"Bang!"
He hit the ball into the basket before James blocked the shot!
After all, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2007 class is no worse than James in terms of physical talent!
This dunk set off Georgetown University fans.
When the score is behind, this kind of goal boosts morale!
The cheers were still there, and Durant continued to play in the low post.
This time Durant's turnaround shot missed, but caused a defensive foul on McLean.
Green singled, Durant also singled.
Green made a free throw and Durant also made a free throw!
If tonight's game is organized by unit, then now comes the PK session between the stars on both sides!
Although the scoring did not come as quickly as the previous defensive counterattack, playing ball by ball like this was obviously more beneficial to the leading University of Texas.
Lin Ying is also very comfortable.
Although Durant doesn't score every time he plays in isolation, if he scores a goal, his assists will be +1!
At halftime, Texas led 41-29.
Durant scored a team-high 14 points, and Lin Ying scored 8 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.
If he keeps playing like this, Lin Ying is likely to get a triple-double in the first game of the "Crazy Three"!
A triple double, or a "crazy triple" triple double!
Back in the locker room at midfield, Springman reminded Lin Ying about the data.
Lin Ying acted relatively calm, but Durant looked extremely excited.
This goes back to Lin Ying's first start of the season.
At that time, Lin Ying asked Durant to help him achieve a triple-double.
He was joking, but Durant took it seriously!
In that game, Lin Ying failed to achieve a triple-double in the end, but now, the opportunity has come again!
Back in the second half, the starting players from both sides reappeared.
When Hibbert came on the court, his eyes unconsciously looked towards the University of Texas.
When he saw Barnes directly use Lin Ying as the starting center in the second half, his reaction was very exciting.
He lowered his head and shook his head, then shook his head helplessly.
Well, it’s very similar to the scene in history when James saw Leonard being replaced in the 2013 Finals!
Don't tell him anything else to make Lin Ying come to the United States later. Now he just wants to end this nightmare as soon as possible!
Back in the second half, the University of Texas attacked first, and Lin Ying continued to hold the ball outside the three-point line.
Georgetown University is still guarding man-to-man, and Hibbert is still guarding Lin Ying.
The difference is that the person defending Durant under the basket is Green!
Good guys, Summers, Ewing Jr., McLean, and then Green, a wheel battle!
Lin Ying continued to lob the ball in.
If Green can't limit Durant, then no one at Georgetown can limit Durant.
Once that happens, the University of Texas will almost certainly advance!
To be continued...
