Chapter 54 You are the last wall of the University of Texas! (7K Warning)(2/4)
He can defend until the assist defense is in place, or even directly defend one on one, which is very critical.
This is also the biggest difference between the Warriors and the Suns team led by D'Antoni.
If the sun is given a Green, they might...
Talking back to the University of Texas, they have actually been changing this season and looking for a tactical system that suits them.
From being beaten up by Kansas for the first time, to training triangle tactics;
Then in the Big12 finals, I discovered that the University of Kansas could not be defeated by triangle tactics alone, so I turned to explore the possibility of smaller lineups;
Then it was extended from a small lineup to a full-court press, and in this game, a small lineup started in pursuit of fast play;
This step by step, the University of Texas has changed and grown during the game, and Lin Ying has also grown and become stronger!
And Barnes' words, "You are the last wall at the University of Texas," made him burn uncontrollably.
Then let’s see if his wall can hold up the University of Texas!
When the timeout is up, players from both sides return to the court one after another.
Looking at Lin Ying's back, Barnes suddenly realized that Lin Ying was becoming more and more important to the University of Texas.
Perhaps because of his talent, the person who receives the most attention at the University of Texas is Durant.
But Lin Ying's importance cannot be replaced.
Or in other words, Durant determines the team's lower limit, while Lin Ying raises the team's upper limit!
Back from timeout, Texas' offense.
Durant stepped up and down in the low post to get past Wright and score a goal.
Since watching the video of the Lakers game last time, he has used many moves to compare with each other.
11 to 12.
With a 1-point difference, the next round becomes critical.
If Texas is allowed another three-pointer, it will be devastating to their defensive confidence.
When they saw the University of Texas switch from a 2-3 zone defense to a 3-2 zone defense, the University of Kansas was stunned for a moment.
Self, especially, looked in disbelief.
Did Barnes give up on treatment?
Still don't take Kansas's ability to attack the rim seriously?
In the frontcourt, Robinson showed his experience and directed his teammates to move, and Rush quickly cut into the bottom corner.
The University of Kansas has excellent execution and knows how to play without Self's command.
However, as soon as the ball was passed to Rush, James was already in place to defend.
Barnes' early targeting is also very impressive.
Rush, passed the ball directly to Chalmers who cut back.
You have a target, I have a plan B.
The two teams are familiar with each other, and this is all about masters' moves, which are deadly but have back-ups.
The fans couldn't take their eyes off this wave of offense and zone defense.
Now, it depends on how Chalmers chooses to cut in.
Should he distribute the ball to Wright on the weak side, or should he take the ball and attack Lin Ying himself.
The answer will soon be revealed.
Chalmers chose to stop and throw!
This choice is very smart!
Not to mention throwing shots is Chalmers' main offensive method, mainly because this option can pull Lin Ying out from the basket.
Even if he doesn't score, Wright on the weak side can come over to grab offensive rebounds or even directly make up for a dunk!
Lin Ying jumped out.
He had to make a save, but he also knew that Wright on the weak side was cutting in, so he made a save, but not completely.
After successfully causing interference, he didn't care whether the ball went in or not, but turned around and grabbed the board.
"when!"
Chalmers' shot was slightly off target and hit the basket.
Wright rushed to his feet and jumped up, stretching out his long arms to make up for the dunk.
"Bang!"
His hand hit the basket hard.
But there is no ball in his hand!
Lin Ying grabbed the ball first before he could make up the dunk!
This is so lonely!
Lin Ying defended the basket from one to two, and the defense was down!
On the sidelines, Barnes stood up excitedly and pumped his fist.
The wall he appointed is indeed thick!
And it's not over yet.
After Lin Ying got the rebound, he threw it directly towards the midfield.
The advantages of the 3-2 zone defense are also reflected at this time.
Three-pronged approach, three horses galloping.
Two-on-one in the frontcourt, Durant received a pass from Augustin and spread his wings directly.
"Bang!"
A powerful and heavy one-handed chop.
The University of Texas launched another defensive counterattack!
13 to 12!
They also overtook the score again!
After dunking, Durant roared to the sidelines.
He was responded to by a tsunami of cheers from Texas fans.
When he returned to the defensive end, he immediately found Lin Ying and gave him a high-five.
Defensive counterattack, the premise is defense.
The existence of Lin Ying's wall is the key to the success of this defensive counterattack just now!
"Lin's defense just now was very good, but he can't do it all the time."
In the live broadcast seat, Buckley continued the program effect.
But this time, what he said was what he thought.
"You know what I mean? He's not Olajuwon or Mutombo, he's just a 6-foot-7 big man."
"Charles, he looks more than 6-foot-7."
While Buckley was talking, Smith on the side reminded him.
In the last game, Ma Jian was not the only one who noticed that Lin Ying's height was "watery".
"6-foot-8? Well, even if he's a 6-foot-9 big man, he can't always do that."
Barkley didn't just say this out of the blue.
But he himself is a short inside man and knows how disadvantageous height can be when defending.
What's more, Lin Ying's weight doesn't seem to be very high.
Even if Mad San had a highlight moment like blocking Hibbert consecutively in previous games, it is just like watching highlights, it is not a concept.
If someone of this height wants to be able to compete in the paint, unless he is Rodman or Ben Wallace.
But Lin Ying is obviously neither of them.
Moreover, this Kansas team left a very deep impression on him, with very strong tactical awareness and tactical execution.
Lin Ying used his flexibility to defend the previous ball, but in the next round, what about Kansas using a hard attack from the inside?
While talking, the University of Kansas advanced to the frontcourt, and Cowan leaned against Lin Ying in the low post and directly reached for the ball.
Compared to defense, offense is what Cowan is better at.
As an interior player, he averaged 8.2 points per game in his first year at Kansas.
