0 to 7!

The University of Texas is off to a fantastic start!

Donovan was decisive enough and called a timeout.

The game has only started for 3 minutes!

The Texas fans at the scene were waving flags and twisting their waists, not to mention how excited they were!

It seemed like they could already see the golden final championship trophy!

"The University of Florida looks out of shape!"

In the live broadcast seat, Ma Jian said.

"The University of Texas played very smoothly, but Donovan cannot be underestimated. The University of Florida itself is not weak."

Yang Yi's commentary style during this period was still very stable.

After the timeout, the game continues.

There are no personnel adjustments to the University of Florida's lineup, but their offensive tactics have changed.

Originally, their offensive focus was on the inside, but now it has been shifted to the outside.

Lee Humphrey took advantage of Horford's pick-and-roll to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer.

This tactic worked beautifully, but Lin Ying switched defense very quickly.

After watching the University of Florida video, he had always been concerned about Humphrey.

"when!"

Humphrey's shot was interfered with and the basketball hit the basket.

A common problem among white shooters is that they are accurate in the open position, but they can easily lose their accuracy after being interfered with.

but!

Under the basket, Noah grabbed the offensive rebound during the fight with Durant, and then used his butt to push Durant past the board and score!

Florida State's first points of the night!

Although Noah's confrontation during this period is not very strong, he is definitely much better than Durant.

This is perhaps the most critical part of Donovan's arrangement of this tactic.

Just as he thought before the game, the University of Texas relies more on Lin Ying for basket protection.

As long as Lin Ying is moved away from the basket, the University of Florida's inside advantage will be revealed.

In transition between offense and defense, Durant caught the ball under the basket.

The University of Florida still chooses to double-team.

But the difference from before is that the people who flanked Durant did not give up because Durant passed the ball.

Durant was always double-teamed by the two.

He finally passed the ball to Augustin in the bottom corner, but as soon as Augustin got the ball, Horford's help came over and interfered with his shot.

"when!"

Augustin's three-pointer finally hit the basket!

If you watch the University of Florida's defense carefully, you will find that they use a very high-speed help defense rotation.

Horford is replaced by Augustin, Brewer is replaced by Lin Ying, Humphrey is replaced by Abrams, and Green, who originally double-teamed Durant, is replaced by James!

Doing this allows them to maintain defensive pressure on the strong side.

As for the weak side, although there will be a defensive vacuum for a while, it takes time to pass the ball across half a court, and there is also a great risk.

Of course, an equally important point is that the NCAA courts are still too small!

If it were in the NBA, Horford would not have time to move to the corner to interfere.

This offense and defense fully demonstrate Donovan's coaching characteristics, and his ability to adapt to the situation is really fast!

Moreover, the ball was a long rebound. After grabbing the board, Brewer transformed into the "Captain of the Cavalry Company" and took the lead in passing the defense and scoring a layup.

4 to 7!

Although the score is still behind, it can be felt that the University of Florida has recovered from the initial confusion!

Lin Ying caught the ball in the frontcourt and signaled to hit a wave of "blind pigs".

Durant's touch seems to be very good at the beginning, so finding a way to get the ball into his hands is the best option.

However, the University of Florida's defense was really crisp. They didn't care about James cutting in and directly double-teamed Durant.

Durant failed to pass the ball out of a double team and was intercepted by Brewer!

Another wave of cavalry charges, and Brewer is more brave this time. After rushing to the frontcourt, he dunks with one hand!

6 to 7!

The University of Florida returned from timeout and defeated the University of Texas with a score of 6-0!

This is the true strength of the defending champion!

If they can be defeated easily in one wave, then it is impossible for them to crush them all the way to the finals!

"Defend! Defend!"

The University of Florida fans at the scene became excited and began to cheer!

The pressure is starting to turn on the University of Florida!

Lin Ying holds the ball in the frontcourt.

The situation on the court is changing rapidly, and as the brains of the team, he must be calm enough.

Just like when it played against Purdue University, after the unfavorable situation, the University of Florida mainly strengthened its defense.

Although it was not a full-court press he had seen, this defensive strategy of resolutely flanking Durant was very successful.

There are two ways to break this defensive strategy:

The first is to create direct shooting opportunities for Durant. After all, no matter how fast the defense is, it will take time.

This point can be referred to Curry in history. Durant’s current off-ball style is very close to Curry’s;

Second, others will step forward.

UNLV used the "Jordan Rule" against Durant before. Durant scored a new low in that game, but UT still won by relying on the performance of others.

After Lin Ying re-observed the University of Florida's defense, he gave the ball to Augustin and then dropped into the low post.

Augustin gave the ball in, and he beat Horford one-on-one in the low post.

Continuous steps in the low post, but Horford was not shaken away by Lin Ying!

When playing against Kansas before, Self commented that Lin Ying's low-post skills were immature and that he relied more on his brain to play.

That style of play is fine against Hansbrough, Brandon Wright or Cowen.

But facing Horford, it's not enough.

Horford's flexibility is no worse than Lin Ying's, and his confrontation is even better than Lin Ying's!

After a series of attempts, there was no good opportunity, and Lin Ying was not in a hurry to attack.

He gave the ball back to Augustin, then moved to the outside to get the ball and reorganize.

The NCAA's 35-second offense sometimes makes some teams' offense seem very constipated. It is common for them to pass the ball first without doing anything on the outside.

But this is a good thing for the University of Texas, because the first wave of tactics did not come out, and they still have enough time to play the second wave.

Lin Ying looked at Durant.

We can only put Stephen Durant on the line!

This is not the first time he has done this. In the previous game against Kansas, Durant blocked Self in the second half.

What's more, Durant started with a hot touch!

New tactical gestures, weak side horns derived tactics.

After Durant moved over, Lin Ying passed the ball and set up a pick-and-roll at the three-point line.

His pick-and-roll quality was very high, and Noah was completely blocked.

Durant didn't rush in, but seized a gap in the pick-and-roll, and before Horford could switch defense, he pulled up and shot from outside the three-point line.

Horford was too late and could only watch Durant's pull-up three-pointer in the air as he struggled to save it.

"Whoa!"

There was another crisp sound.

Durant's three-pointer goes in!

And this is already the second three-pointer he scored tonight!
