Just... quite helpless.

When Collins landed, the anger on his face was completely gone.

This kind of foul is the stupidest kind in the eyes of the coaching staff.

In fact, if you take a look at Self's expression on the sidelines at this time, you will find that it is exactly the same as Barnes's expression before, gloomy and murderous.

Looking at the other side of the court, Barnes's expression has softened a lot, and he turned to chat with Springman!

Comparison only hurts.

What Barnes and Springman were talking about was how to arrange for Lin Ying and Durant to be on the court together in the next game.

This is something he had thought about before.

Lin Ying's passing ability and high golf IQ demonstrated in actual combat have far exceeded his expectations.

If he and Self weren't competing with each other right now, and whoever changes the main force first would give in, he would really want to give it a try now.

For Kansas, the good news on the court at this moment is that Lin Ying did not really make a three-pointer, but three free throw opportunities.

Post players' free throws are more inaccurate than accurate.

Driven by the on-site DJ, Allen Arena soon heard an overwhelming noise.

The fans who were chased by points were naturally not happy, and they tried their best to create noise at this time.

Lin Ying felt that her eardrums hurt a little.

NCAA fans are mainly students. Even though the number of fans is similar, they are more passionate than NBA fans.

"Dang!"

He missed his first free throw.

There is a very interesting statistic in the NBA, which is that accurate three-pointers do not necessarily have a high free throw percentage.

For example, Joe Harris, who played for the Nets in history, was ridiculed by fans that he should stand at the three-point line and shoot free throws.

To put it bluntly, this thing is muscle memory.

He needs to work more on free throws in the future.

Talent determines the upper limit of shooting, but training volume determines the lower limit.

Except, of course, Ben Simmons.

Lin Ying adjusted his breathing and continued to shoot free throws.

The disturbances at the scene started again, and they were louder than before.

They couldn't wait to see Lin Ying miss three free throws.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

It's a pity that their expectations were disappointed. Lin Ying made both his second and third free throws!

His free throw shooting isn't top-notch, but it's definitely not bad either!

54 to 38.

The score difference is back to 16 points again!

The University of Texas still retains hope!

The ball rights were exchanged, and Kansas continued to use Pittman's tactics to cooperate. Arthur received the ball and dunked and scored another goal.

Looking back, Augustin and Lin Ying played a small cooperation. Lin Ying held the ball at the top of the arc and passed the ball to Augustin before picking and rolling!

This tactical change was a bit sudden, and Kansas didn't react for a while.

Augustin also gradually developed a tacit understanding with Lin Ying, and he took a three-pointer before Arthur pounced on him.

His style of play is somewhat similar to that of Chalmers, with his ability to break through, but what is even better than his breakthrough is his three-point shooting.

Historically, in his first season in the NBA, he averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game with a shooting percentage of 43.9%.

Although his ability was not that outstanding when he first entered the NCAA, he was already above the level.

"Whoosh!"

Three points hollow pocket.

56 to 41!

The score difference came to 15 points for the first time!!

The scene was agitated.

Although it is very slow, the University of Texas is indeed chasing the score back little by little!

Self couldn't sit still at this time. He turned his head and glanced at the main players on the bench, hesitated for a while and then held back.

In Kansas' frontcourt, Arthur was leaning against Lin Ying in the low post to get the ball.

He was in good form today, especially after scoring consecutively in the past few rounds, and his confidence has increased.

Collins fed the ball in, and Arthur lowered his weight and hit it with his back.

Lin Ying was also delighted when she saw Arthur's choice.

The University of Texas was chasing points, but the speed was a bit slow. The fundamental reason was that although they kept scoring, they could not defend Kansas' offense.

Although Pittman has lost a lot of weight, he is still easily targeted defensively against an opponent of Kansas's caliber.

Now Kansas does not stick to its original style of play and instead switches to a low-post attack, which is a dream!

"Bang! Bang!"

Low post plays inside are mostly filled with muscle confrontation.

Arthur hit Lin Ying several times without knocking him back.

Westbrook's breasts are bigger than those of women when he takes off his clothes. You can't really tell his confrontation ability at a glance when wearing a jersey.

It was also at this time that Arthur realized that his choice was a bit hasty.

But with his pants unzipped, even a man can get in on her!

After another powerful back attack, Arthur chose to turn around and hook.

His low post shooting skills are quite good.

However, Lin Ying had already predicted his offensive method through analysis.

Arthur does not have the ability to turn and lean back. If he cannot resist, turning and hooking is the most likely option.

His wingspan played a huge advantage at this time. The moment Arthur took action, his palm happened to cover the ball.

"Snapped!"

A neat big hat!

Tool Man: I didn’t expect it to be me. With quick eyes and quick hands, C grabbed the ball and held it in his arms.

Kansas' offense finally stopped!

At this time, the corners of Barnes' mouth were slightly raised.

Lin Ying's block was a great morale booster!

During the transition between offense and defense, Augustin advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Lin Ying then blocked Augustin, and Kansas also changed.

However, Arthur was afraid of Augustin's three-pointer and jumped too quickly. Augustin seized the opportunity and rushed in again!

The Kansas center defended, and Augustin seized the opportunity and passed a pass to Pittman under the basket.

Pittman was unguarded and easily put the basket under the basket to score.

56 to 43!

The point difference has reached 13 points!

At this time, there are still 6 minutes until the end of the game!

The University of Texas has no chance!

This time Self finally couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up and stretched out his hand to call a timeout!

During the timeout, the few University of Texas fans present were already extremely excited.

Regardless of the outcome, the University of Texas played a completely different team in this period than before, and it made them excited to watch!

The charm of damn basketball lies in this feeling of the weak defeating the strong!

After the timeout, when the players from both sides came on the court, everyone was stunned.

Both sides still have full substitute lineups!

This is probably a scene that would only happen if two stubborn old men met!

Counting the previous five ups and five downs, this game is destined to become a hit on social media.

After returning from the timeout, Arthur obediently set up a pick-and-roll for Collins in Kansas' position.

After a pick-and-roll, Collins passed Pittman for a layup and scored 2 points.

Self is not an unknown person. He immediately adjusted his tactics during the timeout just now.

Judging from the results, this adjustment is in place.

Back on the defensive end, another breakthrough layup by Augustin was also destroyed by interference.

And this time Arthur got the rebound and released the ball quickly. Collins knocked Augustin away during the fast break and scored.

This ball perfectly demonstrated his physical confrontation.

60 to 43!

In the blink of an eye, Kansas opened the score to 17 points.

There were constant whistles at the scene, and Kansas fans had a comfortable expression on their faces.

But this expression didn't last for a while. Looking back, Augustin suddenly passed to Lin Ying. Lin Ying saw that Collins was far away this time, so he shot a three-pointer!

The ball traces a perfect parabola in the air.

"Whoosh!"

He made his second three-pointer of the night!

60 to 46!

The point difference comes to 14 points again!

The Kansas fans at the scene were dumbfounded. The resilience of the University of Texas substitutes must be too strong!

But at this time, Self raised his head and glanced at the timer, and his expression seemed to calm down.

Although the University of Texas' substitutes performed surprisingly well, fortunately there was not much game time left.

This is indeed the case. After the last few minutes were played in a stalemate, the score on the court was fixed at 66 to 56.

Although the University of Texas has been narrowing the point difference, it was ultimately unable to complete the reversal due to time constraints.

In terms of statistics, the most outstanding performer at the University of Kansas was Chalmers, who scored 12 points in the second half and 18 points and 7 assists in the game.

This performance basically blew away the pants of his opponent Randy Williams.

And Williams wasn't the only one who was exposed. Chalmers made 10 free throws in the entire game.

You must know that the NCAA free throw rules are different from the NBA. In the NCAA, because a game lasts 20 minutes, the number of full fouls in a single quarter is 7.

Moreover, the 7th to 10th free throws for non-shooting fouls are subject to the "1+1" rule, that is, only after the first free throw is made, can there be a second free throw opportunity.

So it's more difficult to get free throws in the NCAA than in the NBA.

This number of free throws can basically be understood as: Texas can only use fouls to prevent Chalmers from scoring tonight.

Wright had 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Collins had 14 points and 3 assists.

Although Rush cannot play due to injury, there is no doubt about Kansas' strength.

For the University of Texas, Durant scored a team-high 17 points.

On the bench, Lin Ying made 2 of 4 three-pointers and scored the most 10 points on the bench. In addition, he had 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. He had all-round statistics and performed well.

In addition to him, Augustin also had 9 points and 3 assists.

This basically reflects the performance of the University of Texas in this game. The starting performance was slow, but the substitutes saved some face.

When the game ended, Self was relieved and took a long breath before standing up.

The University of Texas' performance in the second half of the second quarter shocked him into a cold sweat.

On the other side of the court, Barnes' face turned ugly again at this time.

The team members did not dare to look at Barnes, fearing that they would be the ones who would be scolded if something bad happened.

But what is supposed to come will still come.

When he returned to the locker room, the emotions that had been brewing for a long time began to explode.

"I've said before that AJ is the worst defensive player on the team."

Although his first sentence was a bit unpredictable, his subsequent words were very lethal.

"I take that back now, because Kevin is the worst defensive player I've ever seen!"

What he said was like slapping Durant in the face.

Durant's face felt burning pain.

Others did not dare to say a word.

"What did you do defensively? What could you do besides fouling?"

"If you still have this attitude, I can tell you in advance that the season is over and you can't do anything!"

…

After a burst of output, Barnes finally slammed the door and walked away, leaving a group of players looking at each other.

Angry Rick lives up to his name.

"Kids, that's the way Rick is, he'll be fine tomorrow, keep training, keep confident."

Fortunately, Springman was still there, and when Barnes left, he quickly smiled and comforted the team members.

In fact, with the current strength of the University of Texas and the fact that they are still getting used to it not long after the start of the season, it is normal to lose to Kansas.

What makes Barnes angry is the team's poor performance on the defensive end.

After three games of the season, the University of Texas conceded an average of 70 points per game, which is a very low figure in the NCAA.

Offense can rely on grinding, but defense is more about positivity and attitude.

The University of Texas, especially the starters' defense tonight was unsatisfactory.

"Ross!"

At this moment, Barnes's loud voice came from outside the door.

"Keep the faith, keep the faith!"

After a few final words with the players, Springman turned around and left the locker room.

In the end, the team members looked at each other in silence and quietly began to pack their things.

After the tragic defeat, everyone was in a bad mood.

Not long after, Durant got up and left the locker room, and Lin Ying followed.

The two of them were speechless all the way, and finally walked to the training hall and started practicing more directly.

Every time a ball is thrown, it is like venting a bit of emotion.

More than an hour later, the two men sat on the sidelines, wiping sweat and panting.

"The coach said I was the worst defensive player he had ever seen. I should really hit myself on the head with a hammer to reflect."

Durant said and hit his head with his hand, looking very frustrated.

Because of Craig, he is the one who wants to be the best basketball player.

But now, he has lost two of his first three games in college.

Especially in the locker room just now, as the captain, he was criticized by Barnes in public.

His mood was even more depressed than in the first game.

Lin Ying doesn't know how to comfort people, but he has experienced many of Durant's experiences in his previous life.

He knows that what Durant needs most right now is not you teaching him what to do, but comfort, any kind of comfort will do.

"Kevin, have you ever heard the saying 'the team that scores more points wins the game'?"

He thought for a moment and said.

Durant nodded. Many coaches have said this, especially those who advocate offense.

"So if we can win the game with offense, the coach won't talk about defense anymore."

Lin Ying continued.

Sure enough, Durant laughed after hearing what Lin Ying said.

This may sound a little bit over the top, but it does make him feel a lot more comfortable.

"You're right, but I still have to ask Ross to train my defense."

Durant continued.

He is not a person without opinions.

"Um."

Lin Ying nodded.

Durant's offense is very strong, but his defense must at least reach a passing level.

From a data analysis perspective, it is relatively easy to do this with Durant's wingspan and height.
Chapter completed!
