In fact, he had a lot of confrontations in the first half, but Lin Ying's confrontations were much better than expected, and his advantage was not that big.

Seeing Hansbrough's expression, Jordan couldn't help but frown.

The current wave of talent in North Carolina is pretty good, but their mentality is far from what it was back then!

"Tyler, remember this sentence, the moment you step on the court, you are the best basketball player on the court."

Jordan is cheering Hansbrough up.

"What can that Chinese player do? He can only shoot a three-pointer, pass the ball, and make up for a blue at most. You should beat this kind of player with one hand."

Jordan looked disdainful, that is, Hansbrough, if it had been anyone else, he wouldn't have bothered to say these things!

Hansbrough nodded vigorously after hearing this.

Unlike Ellington, his ideas are relatively simple.

Jordan's words inspired him.

Seeing the change in Hansbrough's expression, Jordan was satisfied and looked at his next target, Wright.

Roy Williams turned his head and looked at the assistant coach, his eyes filled with helplessness.

After so many years, Jordan has really not changed at all...

After waiting for two minutes, Jordan's "guidance" was almost done.

There are only a few players on this North Carolina team worthy of his mention.

After the instruction was over, he turned around and chatted with Williams for a few more words.

The general meaning is that he feels that the team will be completely transformed in the second half after his guidance.

Williams nodded gratefully and quickly sent Jordan out of the locker room.

That movement was more agile than ever.

…

After the halftime break, the two sides continued to compete in the second half.

Barnes was more straightforward and started the second half with five players.

Look at this situation, the University of Texas is preparing to fight the University of North Carolina to the end in the second half!

Williams let out a long breath when he saw it.

He was really afraid that Barnes would lose ground with him in the second half.

There is still some suspense in the ground-breaking game, but if we continue to work hard like this, the University of Texas will definitely be the first to be unable to hold on.

Players' physical fitness is limited, not to mention that most of them are student players who have not received systematic training.

He felt that North Carolina had to thank the University of Texas. If the opponent was Georgetown University, he really wasn't sure.

If nothing else, at least he has no good way to restrict Hibbert.

In the second half, the University of Texas attacked first.

The players from the University of North Carolina did not exert much physical energy in the first half. They were very energetic during the half-time break. From the beginning, the defensive intensity was very high.

Durant was pushed to the outside in the low post, and when he caught the ball, he turned back and shot short.

The basketball hit the basket and Wright turned around and grabbed the rebound.

Then, the University of Texas continued its full-court press.

However, with the cooperation of Lawson and Hansbrough, the University of North Carolina successfully pushed the ball into the frontcourt.

Physical recovery is one thing, but more importantly, after halftime, they gradually adapted to the intensity of the University of Texas' pressing.

This is a red flag for UT.

Barnes stood up from the bench, frowning as he thought about how to respond.

But he quickly froze.

Because he saw Hansbrough taking the initiative to take position in the low post!

Every coach has his own coaching style. Roy Williams focuses on the team's defense, but gives his players more freedom on the offensive end.

It's not that he doesn't understand offense, but that every coach understands offense differently.

And he is not a special case. NBA "run and gun master" D'Antoni also likes to give command to the team's point guard.

Lawson lobbed the ball in, and Hansbrough chose to hit Lin Ying hard.

"The moment you step on the court, you are the best basketball player on the court!"

Jordan's words seemed to echo in his ears again, and Hansbrough felt like he was possessed by a big shark at this moment.

And he suddenly discovered that Lin Ying's confrontation was much worse than in the first half.

Is it because I was too physically exhausted in the first half and couldn't recover?

By the way, most players can't stand that style of play, let alone a yellow player?

He increased the intensity of his back blows.

But the moment he exerted his strength, he suddenly felt that there was no point of strength behind him!

Lin Ying, withdraw the bench!

He suddenly lost his body's center of gravity and instantly lost control of the ball.

Before he fell to the ground, what he saw was Lin Ying ducking out from behind him and then cutting the ball off like lightning.

Those hands are so long!

"boom!"

Hansbrough fell to the ground and he didn't even have time to foul.

The ball was exchanged on the court, with Augustin and Abrams moving forward side by side, with quick feet.

The advantage of a small lineup is that the transition between offense and defense is quick.

Of course, Lin Ying's first pass was also fast enough.

Abrams rushed forward to get the ball and made a three-step layup.

Although his body is thin, he is very flexible in the air because of his thinness. He can avoid Lawson's chasing shot with a lever and send the ball steadily into the basket.

Back in the second half, the University of Texas took the lead in scoring!

Jordan reached out and rubbed his forehead.

Hansbrough is really stupid!

A second-year player was benched by a first-year rookie!

If it had been him, he would have turned around and dunked as soon as Lin Ying took off the bench!

Hansbrough continued to ask for the ball in the low post in the frontcourt.

North Carolina has a very well-known label called "family."

That means family, and it also represents unity.

Whether during school or after graduation, North Carolinians should unite and help each other.

So if it were normal, he would definitely not continue to fight if he got embarrassed once.

As a team, too many individual performances are not allowed.

but!

Jordan was present today, and the midfielder even said so many words of encouragement to him.

If he gives up without a hit, he will be completely looked down upon by Jordan!

He must clear his name.

At least, let Jordan know that this group of North Carolina players are not bad!

When Barnes saw this on the sidelines, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and sat down again.

Of course he didn't know what happened in the North Carolina locker room at midfield, so he was puzzled by Hansbrough's sudden "hero" in the second half, but he was also very happy.

This is... made simple!

To put it simply, the University of Texas is easy to defend.

And as long as the defense is down, there is a high probability that the defensive counterattack like just now will be possible, which will be beneficial to the University of Texas.

At least, it's more effective than continuing to press the whole court.

"Bang! Bang!"

There was a muscular confrontation under the basket.

The same moves could not be used consecutively, so Lin Ying did not try to withdraw from the bench, but faced Hansbrough head-on.

His weight was still at a disadvantage, and Hansbrough pushed him into the penalty area.
To be continued...
