Although Anjie's organization on the court is not as good as Mike Taylor's, it can barely help the Tornado open up the situation. No one on the court can defend against each other, which also presented the audience with a wonderful offensive battle. Until the end of the first half, the audience was still unsatisfied. 38 to 43, the University of Texas Longhorns still had a slight advantage, leading by five points.

Anjie scored 8 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds in the first half. In the past, Anjie used to hold the ball as the end point, but today his role was completely changed, so the 7 assists in the half were already the highest number of assists in a single game this season. D.J. Augustine relied on his overall strength to score yi3 points, and another 6 assists were scored. If it weren't for the fact that his teammates failed to seize the opportunity several times, this data would have been better.

The advantages and disadvantages reflected in both sides in the first half are very obvious, so the coaches of both sides are ready to tell their players.

"When the situation is on the offense is open, we must defend well! With Angel and D.J. Augustine alone, our chances of winning will not be too great!" Apart from the sound of the air conditioner in the entire locker room, Ricard was the only roar of waving the marker pen.

Mike Taylor faced a guy of NCAA star level and showed many of his shortcomings. In addition to his height, he was almost completely behind. Ricard knew that the big brother of this team was already in a state of storm in front of D.J. Augustine's powerful offensive firepower, so he would not let Mike Taylor defend Augustine alone. He needed to use the efforts of the Yi series to limit the opponent's guy in the nBa draft lottery zone.

In the fans' mouths, Yi mentioned the "Tornado Three Musketeers", and no one didn't know who they were. It was precisely because of the tacit understanding and excellent performance of Mike Taylor, Andrew Morris and Anger that the Tornado team, which has changed its slump now. Although other players are also part of the Tornado team's success, the performance of the three of them is undoubtedly the most eye-catching. Now in Ricard's mind, the defensive responsibility in the second half must be on these three people. Although Anthony has excellent defense, if he changes to the Yi position, who will defend the opponent's small forward?

"Taylor, Morris, Angel! I want you to work together to defend in the second half!" Ricard quickly passed the feasibility of tactics in his mind, so he called the names of the three people and began to pick up the tactical board to prepare for the task.

"How can you tolerate that thin guy doing whatever he wants on the court! DeAndrew Jordan lost to him because Jordan Jr. is simple in his limbs, are you too? When we are at the advantage, just because of his change in the center, he revitalized the opponent's entire team's offense. You can't laugh at others if you say it out loud!?" On the other hand, the head coach of the University of Texas in the locker room of the Longhorns, Roman Harding was expressing dissatisfaction with his inside players.

The center and power forward of the Longhorns could only let Harding scold him helplessly. They were already doing everything they could to confront An Jie in the inside. But the seemingly thin Chinese actually contained power that was completely inconsistent with his size. It was impossible to say that the kid's bones were full of flesh.

"Augustin did a good job in the first half, but I want you to increase your aggression in the second half. Break through more to the inside and try to create fouls from the two big men of the Tornado team."

"Yeah." Augustine just nodded slightly after hearing the coach's arrangement. He was very confident in his words when facing Mike Taylor, but Augustine felt a little confused when he asked him to face the yellow-skinned center. If it were last season, such things would probably be left to Durant, but now it is his turn to end the game, so he still lacks confidence.

..

During the intermission, most of the audience would leave their seats. Some would go to the bathroom, while others would buy some drinks or food. At this moment, the bearded man and Katherine were lined up in front of a popcorn machine.

"How about Catherine, have you felt the charm of basketball?" The bearded man was so excited about the offensive battle in the first half.

"It's so... too savage." Catherine answered her father seriously. In the first half, she saw An Jie having physical contact with his opponent more than 1 times, especially when she was hitting her back, as if she could hear the muffled sound of violent collisions between her muscles in this noisy crowd. Every time she saw this, Catherine's heart would rise to her throat, fearing that An Jie, who was thin, would fall to the ground.

"This" the bearded man didn't expect his daughter to answer him like this. Sure enough, the focus of women looking at things is still very different from that of men.

..

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. In the first few rounds, the Tornado team still couldn't see any changes. Taylor Yi was still single-defending Augustine. But the changes in the Longhorns were more obvious. Augustine is a calm player. Most of the time he would look for opportunities to pass the ball on the outside. If he really couldn't organize him, he would choose to attack by himself. Now Augustine's offense has become extremely strong. He has broken through to the inside line many times. After breaking through, he did not pass the ball, but ran straight to the basket. Although Augustine is only yi.83 meters tall, it is not easy to block his layup. Augustine's European steps are very good, making it difficult to judge his shooting point. Because of this, Angel and Morris have already fouled on him.

"Very good, wait a little longer!" His team started the second half with a bad start, but Ricard seemed very satisfied. He pressed down with both hands on the sidelines to remind the players to keep calm. The reason why he was still using Taylor to defend Augustine alone was to induce the opponent to increase breakthroughs. He also expected that in order to deal with Angel and Morris, Harding would definitely arrange for Augustine to play the inside. Now it seems that everything is moving in the direction he expected.

After Augustine made continuous breakthroughs, Ricard began to make a "ok" gesture. He didn't call a timeout, he had already arranged it during the halftime break. Ricard was going to play the Longhorns team and was surprised.

Augustine dribbled through the half court again, and the person who defended him in front of him was still the same Mike Taylor who was beaten by himself today. The only difference between the Tornado team this time was that Anjie actually went around to defend the opponent's center and was also far away from the opponent's center. Is it really okay to just empty the basket like this? However, looking at Anjie's height and wingspan, Augustine gave up the plan to directly hang the ball like a penalty area.

Augustine was still dribbling quickly. He knew that Mike Taylor, who was breathless in front of him, had lost a lot of defensive energy. Anyway, the coach gave him the task of breaking through the offense in the second half, so why not just execute the strategy honestly.

Augustine lowered her head, and the fancy and complex dribble made Taylor unable to tell the difference between real and fake. Augustine seized the opportunity of Mike Taylor's center of gravity, pushed the ground with his right foot, his shoulders were heavy, and he broke through Taylor's defense again.

"It's getting easier." Augustine was secretly happy. Suddenly, his eyes were dark! Augustine hit the "wall". He didn't expect that such a figure would suddenly pop out from behind Taylor.

"Dribbing the ball and hitting someone, an offensive foul!" The referee immediately blew a whistle and signaled. Augustine didn't know what was going on, but saw An Jie's smirk.

"It turns out that he is so far away from our team's center, just to be able to raise it up in time when I break through. Humph, you can only use this kind of cleverness once." Augustine took the outstretched hand of his teammate and stood up.

In the next longhorn attack, Augustine did not care about Taylor in front of him, but observed Anjie's position first. She was still defending around the front, and was still at a distance from his own center, and she did not get entangled.

"Do you still want to use the same trick again?" Augustine knew that the last time was just because he was too careless, so he would not fall twice in the same place.

Continue to attack the inside! d.J. Augustine used a few fast-paced dribbles to pull away Mike Taylor and himself, and then he wiped it from Taylor. But this time he didn't add all his strength, and he knew what was waiting for him behind.

Sure enough, after breaking through Taylor, Anger, who had his heels stood firm, appeared in front of Augustine. Augustine was not fooled and stopped directly. Just as his degree slowed down, Taylor behind him had already surrounded Augustine. Angel and Taylor raised their hands to surround Augustine, who was not tall. Augustine wanted to pass the ball to his teammate who was unguarded in the inside, but it was found that Morris was standing in the right position, blocking his route of passing the ball inward. In this way, his space for movement became smaller and smaller. Before Augustine had time to pass back, Taylor held the ball with both hands and fought hard with Augustine.

"Beep!" The whistle sounded again, but this time it was not because Angel and Morris were fouled, but because the referee awarded a scramble.

Taylor competes for the ball with his height advantage, d.J. Augustine does not have the advantage in height, and he does not know the skills of jumping balls at all, even though he is playing directly at the defender.

After that, the Longhorns' offense was completely trapped in a quagmire, and Augustine's breakthrough footsteps were restricted by Anjie. The three of the Tornado teams were always able to complete the defense tacitly. Anjie blocked, Taylor double-teamed, and Morris blocked the passing route. The three of the three were in place. Augustine had no choice but to hand the ball to his teammates with bad positions again and again, but the offensive effect was known. Like the Tornado team's first half, Augustine's offensive organizer, Augustine, is now restricted to death, so how can their offensive quality be better?

"These three boys did not disappoint me!" Seeing the three of them under him dismantled Augustine's attack for the fifth time in a row, Ricard waved his arm vigorously.

"I was surprised by the ability of the three of them to read the game." Divac looked at the tacit understanding between Angel and the other two, and nodded at Ricard with relief.
