Rather than winning or losing the game, they are more concerned about who will enter the NBA this year.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were announced one after another.

Kansas side: Russell Robinson, Chalmers, Darnell Jackson, Wright, Cowen.

University of Texas: Augustin, James, Durant, Lin Ying, Wendell.

Brendan Rush is still on the exemption card, and the starting lineups of the two teams are the same as the last time they met.

Jump ball from Wendell and Cowan in the center circle.

Lin Ying looked towards Kansas.

At first glance, his most direct feeling was that the expressions of the players on the Kansas side were all serious.

This is expected.

Although Kansas won the last match, Texas' substitutes shocked them into a cold sweat in the end.

In addition, the performance of the University of Texas has obviously improved in the past two months, and it would be abnormal for Kansas to underestimate its opponent.

"beep!"

A whistle blew from the sidelines, and the game officially started!

Cowan's long arm moved the ball back to half court, and Kansas got the opportunity to attack first!

The moment the game started, the fans burst into cheers, which was a whole decibel higher than usual games!

At this moment, the players on the field should understand why "Crazy Three" is called "Crazy Three".

Really crazy!

The first offensive attack of the University of Kansas!

Robinson held the ball from the outside to organize, and Chalmers took advantage of Cowan's screen to come out first, then ran back and caught the ball for a layup.

Facing Wendell's assisting defense, he pulled the lever in the air to reverse the blue, and the ball grazed the backboard and fell into the net bag smoothly!

Excellent personal ability!

The scene immediately erupted in cheers from University of Kansas fans.

A good start!

Lin Ying's mind was racing rapidly.

More than Chalmers' personal ability, what attracted his attention more was Kansas' offensive approach in the opening game.

It is very different from the last time they played against each other. Kansas did not start from the inside tonight, but attacked Chalmers, its strongest point, from the very beginning.

This is obviously to suppress them at the beginning and not to give them a chance!

The University of Texas had the ball, and Augustin advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After he reached the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Lin Ying, who was outside the 45° three-point line on the right, and then quickly moved to the right corner through the pick-and-roll.

At the same time, Durant has moved to the basket.

Augustine - Lin Ying - Durant, the standard "low singles" position in the triangle offense is formed!

As long as Lin Ying lobs the ball toward the basket, Durant can get a one-on-one low-post scoring opportunity.

However, Kansas reacted quickly. Cowan immediately grabbed Wendell and prepared to help defend Durant.

Kansas not only did not underestimate the opponent, but also made sufficient preparations for tonight's game!

Such a reaction was beyond the University of Texas' expectations. Before the game, the coaching staff prepared according to the Kansas situation during the last match.

However, Lin Ying, who was holding the ball, did not panic.

Compared with tactical arrangements, what he is better at is his old profession: analysis.

After seeing Kansas' defense, he has come to the conclusion that "the success rate of continuing to attack in the low post will not be too high."

He turned to Augustin and made a new tactical gesture.

"Low post" to "corner pick-and-roll".

When Augustine saw Lin Ying's gesture, he moved directly to Lin Ying's position.

Lin Ying returned the ball and quickly moved to the right three-point line to set up a pick-and-roll.

In addition to theory, tactics are more important than execution.

From reading to analyzing to responding, Lin Ying's reaction was fast enough, and the University of Texas' tactics were also fast enough.

Kansas is a little overwhelmed.

After all, the triangle tactic has not appeared in the NCAA for a long time!

The University of Texas didn't know how to do this the last time they played against each other.

After Augustin opened up, he got a very good outside shot opportunity.

Before Wright could pounce on him, he took a decisive shot from outside the three-point line!

He also has an obvious follow-up action after shooting.

And his eyes were always looking at the ball, with a firm gaze.

Lin Ying and Durant were not the only ones who gave their all for tonight's game, he did the same!

The ball spins across a high parabola.

"Whoosh!"

There was a crisp sound of connecting to the network.

Augustin's first three-point shot in the opening game went in!

The moment he saw the ball go in, Augustin stretched out his hand and made a three-point gesture, and then swung it in front of him hard.

He looks very excited!

Of course, what was even more exciting were the University of Texas fans present.

The cheers were one decibel louder than those of the Kansas fans before!

The players on the field are competing, and so are the fans on both sides!

The University of Kansas advanced to the frontcourt, and Augustin directly switched from playing without the ball to playing with the ball this time.

Taking the ball from Robinson, he signaled Augustin to pull away for a single.

It seemed that Augustine's celebration irritated him a little.

Change direction, start, break through.

Augustin followed Chalmers very hard, but Chalmers had more confrontation and experience than him.

He quickly used deceleration and changed direction to squeeze past Augustin and get to the basket.

However, Lin Ying had already shrunk to the basket in advance and directly defended it.

He could analyze that it would be difficult for Augustin to guard Chalmers one-on-one, and he also knew that he could defend the ball with a high probability of being able to help with the defense.

But just when he was covering the defense, Chalmers didn't lay up, but directly passed the ball to the weak side!

He didn't go for the box!

The ball was assigned to Wright, but Wright missed the ball and hit the board from close range to score!

Kansas played this strategy beautifully!

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment and came to his senses.

He is still young!

The University of Kansas is one of the top traditional powers in the NCAA. This kind of university may not necessarily have the best players in the NCAA, but their discipline must be the strongest.

It might seem possible that Chalmers would get pissed off and try to get back on his feet, but in reality it won't happen.

Experience +1.

In the offense of the University of Texas, Augustin controls the ball to the frontcourt, and it is a standard triangle position, which is also the triangle position of Augustin-Lin Ying-Durant.

Although they failed to defend in two consecutive rounds, it did not dampen their morale.

They never expected to keep Kansas scoreless.

Rather than that, what they can do is continue their offense.

On the court, the defensive focus of the University of Kansas is still on Durant.

Lin Ying continued to read, analyze, and then used gestures to organize attacks.

At his signal, this time the people on the strong side and the weak side started to move.

Durant took the initiative to move to the right corner, and Augustin was also moving in the direction of Durant at the same time.

This is a two-way move, followed by a pick-and-roll, an off-ball pick-and-roll from Augustin to Durant.

After it was opened, Durant was flicking toward the bottom corner.
