And after winning the championship, North Carolina did not stop collecting talents.

Last year they recruited Hansbrough and Danny Green.

This year, they are bringing together Tai Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Brandon Wright!

Three McDonald's & five-star high school students!!

Especially Brandon Wright is extremely talented.

Height of 2.08 meters and wingspan of 2.25 meters!

In terms of talent, he is second only to Oden among this rookie class!

In the past season, as a freshman, he averaged 14.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, shooting 64.6% from the field!

In the new draft prediction list, he ranked third after Oden and Durant.

If you pick them out individually to compete for talent, Durant will win by a small margin.

But when it comes to overall talent, Texas is far behind.

And after watching the game video, Lin Ying also felt that the second round of the game would be a huge challenge for the University of Texas.

Because North Carolina's talent is not only on the offensive end, their defense is also excellent.

And unlike the University of Kansas' defensive style, their defense is very aggressive.

Double teams are the norm, and there are even full-court presses.

They move very fast, and each of them has an excellent wingspan, so it is difficult to score from them.

In history, this North Carolina team went all the way to the finals in 2009, beating Michigan State by 21 points in the first half of the finals, which was terrifying.

The only good news is that it is still 2007, and the experience and player strength of this team have not yet reached their peak.

It's not like Texas has no chance.

…

After the team training, Lin Ying and Durant practiced for a while before returning to the hotel to rest.

We ordered something outside and the two of us ate while watching the game.

Like the first round, the second round of games is also held consecutively, the only difference is that there are fewer games.

They were playing at the University of Florida when they came back.

Their opponent in the second round was the Purdue Boilermakers.

Um, okay, Lin Ying doesn’t know why he chose such a name?

Maybe it's because West Lafayette, where the team is based, is good at building boilers?

Well, it's as weird as the name of their team.

However, Purdue University's history is not ordinary. They maintain the Big Ten Conference championship record, reached the Final Four twice, and also won the championship.

In terms of NBA players, Joe Barry Carroll and Glenn Robinson are both NBA No. 1 picks.

In addition, the more famous one is Brad Miller.

This year's team is led by Carl Landry and Jeff Teague's cousin David Teague.

They are the second-highest scoring duo in the Big Ten Conference.

In particular, Landry averaged 18.9 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.

In the previous invitational game against Ohio State, Landry also had an impressive performance of 16 points and 3 rebounds.

And what’s very interesting is that Purdue University’s website staff may not have updated personal information for a long time.

Landry's height on the website is 2.01 meters, but his actual height is much higher than that.

Especially when he and Horford stand together, the height difference between the two seems not much.

Purdue University defeated the University of Arizona 72-63 in the first round to reach the top 32, while Florida defeated Jackson State 112-69 in the first round.

The round itself doesn't look suspenseful.

However, the excitement of Crazy Three is stimulated by many uncertain factors.

For example, tonight, the University of Florida's outside touch was extremely cold and they almost didn't make any field goals.

As a result, throughout the first half, both sides were fighting each other inside.

At this time, Purdue University was playing vigorously.

Landry scored 13 points in the half. Under his leadership, Purdue University led the University of Florida by 2 points, 31-29, at halftime.

This score excited Lin Ying and Durant.

If the big boss is upset, their chances of winning the championship will definitely increase!

But it turned out that they both still wanted to be simple.

The University of Florida showed their tactical response in the second half: a full-court press!

"Captain" Brewer made the arrows, and Taurean Green and Chris Richard cut the passing routes.

It seemed like a simple tactic, but Purdue University couldn't adapt to it.

David Teague clearly doesn't have the ability to deal with this intensity of defense.

Purdue University's weakness in execution is also clearly exposed.

Then, the University of Florida quickly overtook the lead and opened the score.

Lin Ying and Durant looked at each other for a while, then both fell into deep thought.

The current point guard at the University of Texas is Augustin.

Augustin's ability is definitely better than David Teague, but he may easily make mistakes in the face of this kind of full-court press.

At this time, Lin Ying not only saw the same thing as Durant, but also thought a lot.

When Barnes showed them the tape during the day, North Carolina also did a good job with its full-court press.

Thinking back to the games of other high-seeded players that I watched a few days ago, there are quite a few who are good at this.

It is easy to draw a conclusion: the simplest tactic of full-court press is very useful in NCAA competitions!

In fact, this is not only true for the NCAA, but also for domestic CUBA and most student leagues.

At this time, we have to break into the men's basketball team. For a long time, facing the full-court press of European and American teams, it is difficult to dribble the ball through half the court.

It was not until the emergence of the twin stars Guo Ailun and Zhao Jiwei that this problem was alleviated to a certain extent.

To put it bluntly, as long as the opponent's tactical execution is average and there is no defender who is good at controlling the ball, this tactic deserves to be easy to use!
