The game continues, North Carolina attacks.
Ty Lawson dribbled the ball across half court and immediately passed it to Ellington.
From a matchup perspective, there is a huge gap in the strength of Ellington's matchup.
Naturally, North Carolina will not let go of such an advantageous matchup.
After Ellington caught the ball, he made a triple threat action and took a tentative step.
Ingram kept the task assigned by his head coach in mind and did not step forward to defend Ellington. Instead, he took a step or two back to defend the shot rather than the sudden attack.
Seeing this, Ellington immediately retracted his probing foot and took off to shoot.
When Ingram saw this, he immediately rushed to interfere.
"when!"
The basketball hit the front edge of the basket and bounced out.
Dabai Bian actively fought for the rebound and immediately found Curry and passed it over.
After Curry received the ball, he continued to accelerate, advance towards the frontcourt, and launch a defensive counterattack.
This time, North Carolina's players were well prepared and retreated quickly and orderly, following their defenders closely and not giving the Wildcats a chance to play a fast break.
Seeing this situation, Curry slowed down, took his time and came to the top of the arc, making tactical gestures.
Sun Yi once again ran forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll was completed, Curry did not pass the ball back this time. Instead, he used a forward change to pass Dion Thompson and rushed toward the basket.
Ty Lawson wanted to intercept the return pass, but seeing this situation, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Sun Yi saw Tai Lawson's unwillingness and gloated: "Are you very disappointed? Why didn't you pass the ball over? You think we are as stupid as you!"
Ty Lawson was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to beat up the hateful guy in front of him.
Sun Yi looked at Ty Lawson's fierce eyes and said even more unscrupulously: "If you want to beat me, then stop inking and fuck me like a man!"
Sun Yi is a professional when it comes to trash talk, and he doesn't feel any burden on his mind.
In his past life memories, Ty Lawson was not a good person.
This guy made insulting remarks about Chinese women on his overseas social media account, and then posted an indecent photo, which resulted in him being banned from the CBA for life.
Such people do not deserve the respect they deserve.
Ty Lawson was filled with rage and clenched his fists. He wanted to beat this girl violently, but his reason allowed him to calm down.
"Are you just talking nonsense? I will shut you up with practical actions!" Ty Lawson said through gritted teeth.
"I'm quite looking forward to how you will shut me up, but don't let me down!"
Seeing that Sun Yi had achieved his goal of irritating Ty Lawson, he didn't want to fight and turned back to defend.
This attack was basically completed, and he didn't need to do anything.
On the other side, Curry rushed to the basket, cleverly avoided Dion Thompson's interference, and scored an easy layup.
On the North Carolina bench, head coach Roy Williams couldn't sit still. He came to the sidelines and yelled at the court: "Everyone cheer up and play the No. 2 defensive tactic!"
The North Carolina players on the court nodded to express their understanding.
In this offense, Ty Lawson asked Green to come forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.
Although Green was confused, he still stepped forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll, Ty Lawson got his wish and matched up with Sun Yi.
"I'll show you the consequences of irritating me."
After Ty Lawson finished his harsh words, he performed a series of fancy breakthrough techniques, but failed to get past Sun Yi and was still spinning in circles.
"Are you dancing ballet? Why haven't you made a breakthrough yet?" Sun Yichi said sarcastically.
Ty Lawson wanted to knock Sun Yi down and make this hateful guy look embarrassed, but he didn't expect that the clown was actually him.
"There's something about this guy's defense."
Ty Lawson stopped trying and simply took advantage of the situation, forcing Sun Yi to break through to the basket.
Sun Yi clung to Ty Lawson and raised his arms to interfere, preventing him from making a sudden jump shot.
Ty Lawson did not stop midway and rushed to the basket. Seeing that there was no room to pass the ball, he could only carry Sun Yi for a layup.
Sun Yi didn't take off, he just straightened his arms to interfere without any foul action.
What he didn't expect was that he actually stood up!
Ty Lawson is such a "good guy"!
Sun Yi grabbed the ball with one big hand, found Curry's figure, and threw the ball over.
After Curry received the ball, he quickly advanced, changed direction and shook off Green who stepped forward to intercept. He came to the three-point line and directly took off to shoot.
"The familiar wildcat fast break, this is Curry's offensive rhythm, this ball should be there." Kenny Smith explained.
A swish sound!
Hollow into the net!
14:4!
In the auditorium, the Wildcats fans cheered loudly, suppressing the momentum of the North Carolina fans.
On the sidelines, North Carolina head coach Roy Williams requested a timeout and called his players to the bench to adjust.
Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.
North Carolina made substitution adjustments, taking out Dion Thompson and replacing him with Ed Davis.
The Wildcats did not make any substitution adjustments and still have all the main players.
After the timeout, North Carolina's offense improved and teamwork resumed.
Tyler Hansbrough hit a mid-range jumper to break the scoring drought.
The Wildcats attacked, and after Sun Yi ran across half court, he found that North Carolina had changed its defensive strategy and turned into a hybrid defense.
Green will guard Curry, while the other four North Carolina players will guard the zone.
Curry and Sun Yi continued to play pick-and-roll to try the effect.
After the pick-and-roll was ready, Curry bypassed the screen and shot directly from a three-pointer.
The weapon to break the zone defense is the three-pointer. If it is open, North Carolina's defense will not attack but will be broken.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Dabai Bian used his enthusiasm to grab the offensive rebound again and quickly passed it out.
Sun Yi received the pass near the free throw line and immediately took off to shoot.
Ellington, who rushed to defend, failed to interfere with the shot immediately and could only watch the ball and sigh.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball hits the net hollowly and hits the target steadily!
Looking back, Ellington forced his way to the basket, causing a foul on Whiteside and getting a free throw opportunity.
This time he withstood the pressure and made two free throws to score 2 points.
In the next round, Sun Yi accidentally missed a mid-range jump shot and failed to hit consecutive hits.
North Carolina protected the rebound and launched a quick counterattack.
Ty Lawson dribbled the ball quickly and rushed straight to the penalty area. After reaching the basket, he paused deliberately, causing the wide white edge to "rearend", and then threw the ball toward the basket.
"Beep! Wildcats player No. 21 committed a blocking foul." The referee blew the whistle and gestured toward the technical table.
Sun Yi, who rushed to the basket, frowned when he saw this situation.
It's not an accident that Da Baibian committed consecutive fouls. North Carolina should have targeted him.
Without Whiteside on the court, the Wildcats' penalty area defense and rebound protection will be affected.
"This game is more difficult than imagined." Sun Yi walked up to Dabai, patted his shoulder and said a few words of comfort.
"The game has only been played for seven or eight minutes, and Whiteside has already committed three fouls and is in foul trouble. This is very detrimental to the Wildcats."
In the commentary box, Kenny Smith expressed regret for this.
On the sidelines, Wildcats head coach McClop couldn't sit still and immediately requested a timeout. He had to make adjustments, otherwise he wouldn't be able to play in the second half.
