Due to his personality, Lin Ying is not essentially a trouble-making person.
This can be seen from the fact that he played in the NCAA for one year but did not have a single technical foul.
On the court, he still prefers to use basketball to solve problems.
Just like he did with Hibbert, just like he did with Oden.
However, it is precisely because of this character that Durant is so important to him.
People have reverse scales and will die if they touch them!
For Lin Ying now, Durant is the reverse figure.
Therefore, Lin Ying had no intention of showing any mercy towards Noah.
As I said before, who doesn't have a devil in their heart?
Lin Ying wants to be evil, and based on his experience, he can be more evil than everyone present.
Noah, a mouthful of blood.
Really, I spit out a mouthful of blood.
If the ribs are broken and the lungs are injured, blood will flow into the throat, which is medically called hemoptysis.
In this case, it's usually fine if teammates help him up and swallow it.
But Lin Ying's words just now made his blood surge, and he wanted to spray something back.
As a result, a mouthful of blood hit my throat and I vomited it out.
The more than 80,000 fans at the scene were all stunned.
Noah was... beaten and vomited blood?!
It is quite common to be beaten to blood on the basketball court. Being beaten to vomit blood...the first in history!
The game enters a technical timeout again!
Because there is no blood on the field, Noah must come off the field and be dealt with again.
It's just that this time, Noah didn't deal with it on the bench as before. Instead, he was supported by the assistant coach and teammates on the bench and went directly back to the locker room.
With broken ribs and a damaged lung, he won't be able to play again tonight.
This scene also caused bursts of cheers from the Texas fans at the scene.
Evil will be punished, no one will be spared by heaven!
At this time, the University of Florida team members looked at Lin Ying with a hint of fear in their eyes.
You are really a wolf!
Durant was unable to play, and Noah was beaten by Lin Ying until he vomited blood and left the game.
This wave on both sides has completed a one-for-one exchange.
But even after redeeming the money like this, the University of Texas still suffers.
Count down the classic steps.
In the 2005 playoffs, the Sonics were outplayed by Bowen, and ultimately lost the series 2-4.
If Ray Allen and Lewis are healthy, the Spurs may not be able to defeat the SuperSonics team with outstanding shooting talent;
In 2017, the Spurs were in great form, leading the Warriors by 10 points at halftime 52-42, but in the end the Spurs only lost by 2 points.
If it weren't for Pachulia's kick, there was a high probability that the Warriors that year wouldn't be able to get past the Spurs.
In 2021, the Bucks trailed the Nets 1-2, and Antetokounmpo pushed Irving out of the game. In the end, the Bucks defeated the Nets 4-3.
You will find that the party that steps up will eventually become the winner.
Because the game is like a balance, if one party removes a big weight, the balance will naturally tilt towards the other party.
What's more, Noah can't play, and Richard can replace most or even all of his functions.
But no one at Texas can replace Durant.
Lin Ying was forced to play more of a role on the offensive end.
He not only has to guard the basket, but also becomes the team's offensive axis!
Being both a father and a mother.
Although there are wonderful shots of tip-ins over Horford and Richard, there are also highlight moments when the three of them are surrounded by a wonderful pass.
However, it was difficult for two fists to defeat four, five, six, seven or eight, and the University of Texas failed to stop the offensive of the University of Florida.
At halftime, the score was 31 to 35.
The University of Texas still leads, but the original 15-point lead has been completely eaten away by the University of Florida.
If the game continues with this momentum, it is inevitable to be overtaken in the second half.
The University of Florida will rely on Noah to help them win a championship.
Midfield dressing room.
The players from the University of Texas were breathing heavily, and the floor was wet with sweat.
Lin Ying scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists after Durant left the game, and his performance was eye-catching.
But after spending a lot of energy on the offensive end, it was difficult for him to stop the waves of offensive attacks by the University of Florida.
Durant glanced at his teammates, especially at Lin Ying, and finally stood up and left the locker room.
They had just come off the court and were still in the stage where the players were dealing with their physiological needs. Barnes and Springman hadn't come over yet.
After Durant went out, he happened to see Barnes and Springman coming from the office.
He walked straight up.
"Rick, I want to play."
Durant spoke again.
"Kevin, we have already discussed this issue. Your future is more important than the championship."
Springman on the side said.
"Rick, what was your most glorious moment in the past? Was it when you led the team to the Elite Eight? And for me, it's now!"
Durant didn't pay attention to what Springman said, but looked straight at Barnes and said.
He knew what Springman said was right, and he also knew that it was for his own good that the coaching staff did not arrange to continue playing.
Even from a rational point of view, he is a person who strives to become the best basketball player. It is not worth gambling on his career and future for an NCAA championship.
But, he can't do it!
In the first half, I sat off the court and watched Lin Ying, watching other teammates try their best, and watching the University of Florida catch up to the score little by little.
He could neither remain indifferent nor sit still.
In addition to rationality, people also have sensibility.
And the fact that he said this is related to what Lin Ying said to him back then.
"If Kobe is the person you want to beat, then the person I want to beat now is Oden!"
He affects Lin Ying's character, and Lin Ying also affects his!
Springman didn't say anything else, he just turned to look at Barnes.
Barnes was also a little shocked by Durant's words, but he still didn't speak.
In his heart, he still prefers not to let Durant play.
Maybe Durant will be upset and regret it, but a few years later he will understand that he was right to do it.
"I won't regret it."
Durant saw Barnes didn't respond and then spoke.
"If I just sit like this until the end of the game today, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
Everything happens in this world, but only what has happened will not change again.
Give me a chance, Coach Barnes!"
Durant spoke firmly, even changing his title at the end.
He really wants to play!
"Is it really worth it? Risk your career."
Barnes finally spoke.
"worth!"
Durant's answer was without any hesitation.
Barnes and Durant looked at each other for a while, and finally sighed helplessly and nodded.
I just hope that his final soft-heartedness will be proved to be correct!
Seeing Barnes nod, Durant jumped up instantly, as happy as a child.
"But I won't arrange for you to be the main attacker on the court. We need to prevent you from getting injured again. You have to be mentally prepared."
Barnes poured cold water on Durant.
Allowing Durant to play injured is already his biggest compromise.
Going into battle despite being injured and still focusing on attacking, it is impossible for him to do something that has a high probability of causing a second serious injury.
How could Durant care about what Barnes added later? Just being able to play is enough for him to be happy.
The three returned to the locker room together, and Barnes went on to say something that would keep Durant on the court.
He didn't give the players anything to think about, and then planned the game for the second half.
The starting lineup has been adjusted and the style of play has also changed.
Lin Ying wanted to say something, but after listening to Barnes' arrangement, he chose not to say anything.
Compared to Steve Kerr, Barnes is obviously more worthy of the title of coach.
After Barnes and Springman left, Durant asked Pittman for some painkillers.
Because he lost so much weight, Pittman's joints sometimes hurt and he carries painkillers with him.
Facts have proved that Springman's experience still works.
Although Durant was stepped down, because Noah is not a professional, this step is not serious.
And taking painkillers is considered normal.
Curry has done something like this before in history.
After taking the painkillers and drinking them with water, Durant stood up and took a few steps back and forth.
This scene was witnessed by all the teammates in the locker room.
Their eyes burned with strong fighting spirit.
For Durant's efforts, they must win this championship no matter what!
…
"We still want to say that that kind of action should not appear on the basketball court. Even if you win the championship and create history in that way, so what?
Fans will always remember how you won this championship, and there will be stains on your championship trophy that will never be erased.
Fans may even feel that they should wear the final championship ring on their feet.
After all, you win the championship with your feet."
Over at the live broadcast booth, Yang Yi was still talking about what happened in the first half.
Because of Lin Ying, the University of Texas is naturally the target of Chinese people's support. Yang Yi must say this from both a personal and commentary perspective.
At this time, the players returned to the field one after another for the second half.
"Is Durant ready to continue playing?"
It was at this time that he saw Durant warming up with others from the University of Texas.
"It should just be a layup. If I can make it, I should make it in the first half."
Ma Jian on the side spoke.
He is an athlete and can't think of a reason for Durant to play with an injury.
You must know that after this game is the draft.
According to the current situation, Durant is guaranteed to be second even if he cannot be the number one pick.
But if he is seriously injured, it is not impossible to fall out of the top five or even the top ten.
Michael Porter Jr. in history is the best example.
He was the MVP of the McDonald's High School Game and the top pick in the 2018 NBA draft, but fell to the 14th overall pick.
Yang Yi nodded. He also felt that Durant was unlikely to play in the second half.
However, it all became different when the warm-up was over and the players on both sides came on the field in the second half.
When seeing Durant wearing a jersey on the field, the entire University of Phoenix Stadium was boiling!
After experiencing the initial shock, Texas fans cheered like a war cry.
What news could excite them more than seeing Durant play again!
No, it’s touching!!
"I don't know how to describe it in words. I can only say that Durant deserves everyone's respect at this moment!"
Yang Yi was already stunned. Ma Jian on the side reacted and spoke.
"If the University of Texas can win today, Durant's name will be engraved in the history of the NCAA!"
Yang Yi also sighed after coming back to his senses.
Durant's choice is so abnormal and incredible!
In fact, let alone Yang Yi and the others, Donovan's eyes were even bigger than Tongling.
Is Barnes crazy?
Let players play injured in this kind of game?!
Is an NCAA championship more valuable than a player's future value?
Donovan's idea is actually fine, but he probably never imagined that Durant himself asked to play!
Social media in the United States and domestic fans are also in a frenzy.
What Yang Yi said was conservative.
In fact, regardless of the final outcome of the game, Durant's performance has already won him the respect of countless people.
"Kenny, don't stop me, I will be Du Chui from today on!"
Barkley begins!
In the second half, there were no personnel changes at the University of Florida.
The lineup of the University of Texas has been adjusted, Augustin, James, Durant, Lin Ying, Wendell.
The reason why Barnes did this is also easy to explain. Durant is injured and the mobility of a small lineup is no longer applicable.
He agreed that Durant would play, which meant that he would start a physical battle with the University of Florida.
Green used Richard's pick-and-roll to break through the basket.
There was no sympathy in the arena, so Green took the opportunity to hit Durant out of position.
Durant is injured, which is the best breakthrough.
Durant really can't keep up.
Painkillers can only relieve the pain, but cannot heal his injuries.
If you twist your ankle, your movement speed will definitely slow down.
"boom!"
However, Green failed to score the final layup.
Because the moment he took action, Lin Yingxie came to defend him!
With a big block, Lin Ying directly pushed Green's ball onto the backboard!
If you want to take advantage of others' danger, you must first ask me if I agree!
Durant took advantage of the defensive rebound, and the University of Florida's first attack in the second half was blocked!
And it’s not that Green didn’t pass the ball, the rest of the University of Texas also defended it very tightly.
Because of Durant, the morale of the University of Texas is extremely strong!
Augustin advanced to the frontcourt, Texas University played a triangle offense, and Lin Ying dropped to the low post to play the triangle.
Durant was covering James on the off-ball side at this time.
Lin Ying singled out Horford. He deceived Horford with a fake pass and turned his head. Then he turned towards the baseline and slipped past Horford.
Before Horford could react, he pulled a green onion and jumped directly from the other side of the basket.
"Bang!"
It’s a two-handed reflex slam dunk!
Durant is injured and playing, but he must try his best!!
31 to 37!
The University of Texas re-extended its lead to 6 points!
The Texas fans at the scene had completely gone crazy.
"The University of Texas still has a chance!"
Yang Yi couldn't control his voice trembling at this time.
Chapter completed!
