To say that the difficulty of crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops is too small.

Lin Ying's current performance has nothing to do with the NBA.

The timeout between talking has expired, and players from both sides return to the court.

There are no adjustments to the lineups of both sides.

However, if you look carefully at the players' expressions on the field, you will find that the expressions of the Kansas players are a bit solemn.

They probably didn't feel comfortable with this past suspension.

Back from timeout, Kansas takes the lead.

At this time, it is no longer Chalmers holding the ball, but Robinson's organization.

Compared with the changes that can be clearly felt before the timeout, Kansas has more off-the-ball movements, more passes, and a slower pace.

As a result, Texas' defense began to struggle to keep up.

An NCAA offense lasts 35 seconds, which is a full 11 seconds longer than the NBA.

More time means more possibilities and greater difficulty in defending.

And in a slower pace, the University of Kansas' high tactical literacy is clearly reflected.

There are a lot of counter-running cuts, and that kind of execution is really unmatched by the current University of Texas.

Seizing a slow off-ball defensive change by Texas, Wright received Robinson's pass from the baseline and finished with a two-handed dunk.

This goal immediately excited the Kansas fans at the scene.

Especially some old fans' faces turned red.

They won't lose to a bunch of rookies from the University of Texas!

That is the deep pride of a wealthy team!

After returning to the defensive end, the University of Kansas continued to show their changes.

The University of Texas' triangle offense still played beautifully, but this time they failed to create a good scoring opportunity on either the strong side or the weak side.

It's not that the defensive abilities of the Kansas players have suddenly become stronger, but that their defensive concentration has increased and their execution ability has also become stronger!

To give a very simple example, using the same tactics as in the last round, James would have faced an empty blue when he cut in to catch the ball.

But this time when he cut in again, the man who double-teamed Durant from Kansas had already retreated to the basket!

The result was that James' finishing ability was insufficient, his shots were interfered with, and Texas' offense failed.

And this is not a matter of one round, it is how Kansas plays throughout the rest of this quarter.

Lin Ying's passing is still very beautiful, and the University of Texas' triangle tactics are no problem, but players are always interfered with when they take action.

And the Kansas side is fighting more and more vigorously.

After hitting the back, the University of Texas' tactics came out. There was a chance to get the ball a second ago, but by the time the person with the opportunity received the ball, the opportunity was gone!

This also caused the University of Texas' offense to fall into a quagmire. The lead was eroded, tied, and then overtaken.

At the end of the first half, the score on the field was 35 to 25.

Kansas, in turn, leads Texas by 10 points!

This first half allowed everyone to realize the true strength of this NCAA giant.

Otherwise, how do you think they rubbed the University of Texas, which owns the Trident, last year!

Although none of Daniel Gibson, PJ Tucker and LaMarcus Aldridge are as talented as Durant, they are three people after all!

And they were not freshmen like Durant and Lin Ying at the time!

After the first quarter, the game went into halftime.

Players on both sides walked from the tunnel back to the locker room to refresh.

The disappointment on the faces of the University of Texas players could not be hidden.

Just like what Barnes said when mobilizing before the game, they have worked twice as hard in the past two months for today's game.

But now they still can't beat Kansas!

This feeling is so despairing.

Lin Ying was also a little confused.

Not to mention their respective efforts, in just two months of mastering the triangle tactic, they have already accomplished something that ordinary people cannot do.

According to his analysis, they already have a chance to challenge Kansas or even win.

But the reality in front of us is so cruel.

When they returned to the locker room, Barnes and Springman discussed how to play in the second quarter. No one spoke after the players sat down.

The usually bustling locker room was rarely quiet.

"Are you playing 123 Wooden Man?"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the locker room, followed by a burst of hearty laughter and a familiar face.

The person here is PJ Tucker.

This joke caused a burst of laughter from the senior players, and the solemn atmosphere in the locker room became a little more relaxed.

"Randy, they are stronger than last year."

Tucker looked at Williams with a smile and said.

"Brandon hasn't come yet."

Williams nodded, stood up, shook hands with Tucker, bumped shoulders, and then said slightly helplessly.

As a veteran player of the team, he knows the strength of this Kansas team very well.

This is also the reason why Barnes immediately introduced Kansas to the freshmen when he was encouraging them.

That is a wave of vaccination in advance.

As I said before, the weak defeat the strong, and the weak overcome the superior. These are very passionate things in competitive sports.

But most of the time, those are just plots that exist in novels or movies.

A truly strong player. When you play against him, you will more often know why he is so strong, just like in the second half of the first half tonight.

"But I don't think there's a chance tonight."

But Tucker's words were a little different from what he thought.

"Actually, your performance kind of scares me."

Tucker continued.

His conversation changed quickly, and the team members' eyes were also attracted to him.

Lin Ying also looked up.

His previous knowledge of Tucker was limited to a few previous games and media reports.

A shoe king and a tough guy, this should be his and most people's impression of Tucker.

But now it seems that Tucker should have been the locker room leader of the University of Texas.

"You guys played better tonight than when we played them in the previous finals. Randy, you should have felt it too, right?"

Tucker glanced at Williams again when he said this.

Williams nodded again.

Although this team is less experienced than last year's team, it is better in talent, and the triangle offense really adds a lot to them.

Facing the stronger University of Kansas, they trailed by only 10 points at halftime, something their last year's team couldn't do.

"I thought there was a chance in the second half."

Tucker repeated what he had just said.

And after finishing speaking this time, he turned his attention to Durant.

"That's mostly up to you, Kevin.

You have the best talent among everyone here, but you haven’t shown it yet, right?”

ps: Two chapters have been updated in a row. It took more than 2 hours to update last night until around 1 o'clock. I hope that the new book will not leave any regrets and live up to expectations.

Well, and as I said before, because it is not a systematic book, Lin Ying’s starting point in the NCAA will not be very high, so it is okay for you to read this book as the two protagonists in the early stage.
Chapter completed!
