The short 15-minute intermission ended and the second half began.

North Carolina replaced all its starting players as soon as the second half began.

The Wildcats left Sun Yi on the bench to rest and let Curry lead the team.

North Carolina attacked, Ty Lawson dribbled the ball across half court, saw the Wildcats adopting a 2-3 zone defense, and handed the ball to Ellington.

After Ellington received the ball, he took a step inside the three-point line with the help of his teammates' cover and made a long jumper.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball hits the net hollowly and hits the target steadily!

42:36!

Looking back, the Wildcats responded immediately.

Curry used the double screen from his teammates to reach outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

On the sidelines, North Carolina head coach Roy Williams shouted: "Next round, double attack!"

Now the Wildcats only have Curry as a stable scoring point on the court. The flanking defense limits Curry's scoring and leaves the Wildcats' other role players open, which can indeed effectively prevent the Wildcats from scoring.

I have to say that North Carolina head coach Roy Williams is very good at making on-the-spot adjustments.

When North Carolina attacked, Ty Lawson broke through into the penalty area. When he saw the Wildcats players shrinking into the penalty area, he immediately gave the ball away.

After being scolded by the head coach during the halftime break, Ty Lawson did not dare to hit him randomly.

Near the 45° angle on the right side of the three-point line, Danny Green received the pass and shot very decisively.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball hits the net hollowly and hits the target steadily!

45:39!

In the next round, Curry was flanked and separated the ball.

After receiving the ball, Wildcats power forward Cullen missed a long-range jumper.

North Carolina protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.

Ty Lawson dribbled the ball quickly and rushed straight to the penalty area.

Da Baibian retreated to the penalty area and quickly moved laterally, trying to block Ty Lawson's breakthrough route.

Upon seeing this, Ty Lawson accelerated towards Dabai Bian, leaned on Dabai Bian, flicked the ball randomly, and then fell to the ground.

"Beep! Wildcat No. 21 blocked foul." The referee blew the whistle and gestured towards the technical table.

Curry rushed over and immediately ran to Dabai Bian's side to remind him.

"Hassan, you have to control the number of fouls you commit."

Whiteside nodded, saying that he was wronged and it was obviously the short man who had "made trouble".

Amid the cheers of North Carolina fans, Ty Lawson stood on the free throw line, withstood the pressure and made two free throws steadily.

45:41!

The ball is in transition and the Wildcats attack.

Curry was double-teamed again and quickly passed the ball to the basket.

Dabai Bian received the pass and jumped into the air, intending to dunk, but was violently pulled out of the air by Davis who rushed back and fell heavily to the ground.

Da Bai Bian was already feeling aggrieved because of the foul, but now he was being fouled so viciously that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he quickly got up from the floor and punched Davis hard.

Seeing how serious the situation was, the referee immediately stopped the game and quickly stepped forward to separate the two men.

At the same time, players from both teams also gathered around.

Some players on the Wildcats bench wanted to run over to help, but were stopped by head coaches Mike Lopp and Sun Yi.

According to NCAA competition rules, when a conflict occurs on the court, any player on the bench cannot enter the court, otherwise he will be severely punished.

On the court, the three referees worked hard to separate the players from the two teams and the situation was under control.

After the players from both teams calmed down, they returned to the bench.

When Whiteside returned to the bench, Sun Yi asked with concern: "Hassan, are you okay?"

"Sun, thank you for your concern. I'm fine."

Whiteside was extremely frustrated, and he knew very well what punishment his actions would bring.

"Hassan, don't be sad. You did the right thing. We will win the game with your share."

"Sun, thank you, the rest is up to you." Whiteside was in a better mood.

Sun Yi wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but the system prompts suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Teammate bond status is activated."

"Temporary status: What to expect from Hassan Whiteside."

"Effect: The host can borrow Hassan Whiteside's bond badge at will for this game."

Sun Yi was stunned. He didn't expect that the system would add status to him at this time. After reacting, he said to Dabai beside him: "Hassan, don't worry, we will definitely win."

Whiteside said nothing, nodded, and then lowered his head not knowing what he was thinking.

On the other side, the referee repeatedly reviewed the replays and gave the final penalty.

Whiteside and Davis each received a second-level flagrant foul and were both ejected from the game.

No one was surprised by such a result, they could only lament that they were young and frivolous.

The game restarted, and Curry took two free throws for the shooting foul instead of Bai Bian.

Curry stepped to the free throw line and made two steady free throws, scoring 2 points.

Ball possession transition, North Carolina offense.

North Carolina's players did not disrupt their position because their teammates were ejected from the field, and still played strictly according to the tactics.

The players of the Wildcats were full of murderous intent and greatly increased the intensity of their physical confrontation.

Hansbrough caught the ball in the low post and tried to hit the inside, but was firmly blocked by Karen and could not move forward at all.

"The Wildcats players are so beat up!"

Hansbrough had no choice but to pass the ball.

After Danny Green received the ball, he faced Ingram's defense and shot a three-pointer.

"Dang!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!

There was chaos under the basket, and Anderson and Dion Thompson were entangled and both fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the referee immediately blew the whistle and penalized Dion Thompson for a rebound foul to avoid further conflicts.

The ball is in transition and the Wildcats attack.

North Carolina's players also played bloody well and their defense became extremely fierce.

The Wildcats' players were so defensive that they couldn't take any shots, so they had to let Curry attack.

After Curry dribbled the ball continuously from his hips, he quickly made a change of direction in front of his body, then immediately stepped back to outside the three-point line and shot.

Bang!

The basketball hit the front of the basket hard and bounced out.

North Carolina protected the backcourt rebound and launched a defensive counterattack.

Ellington advanced with the ball, rushed to the free throw line to attract the defense, and passed the ball to the bottom corner.

Danny Green, who had just run to the corner, received the pass and hit a three-pointer.

47:44!

In the next two or three minutes of the game, when the intensity of physical confrontation increased, the shooting percentages of both sides began to decline, and fouls gradually increased.

During this period, North Carolina relied on the thickness of its lineup to recover 2 points, narrowing the point difference to only 1 point.

On the bench of the Wildcats, head coach McClop came to Sun Yi, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Sun, come on and kick the North Carolina Tar Heels' butt!"

"Coach, don't worry, I promise to complete the task."

After Sun Yi finished speaking, he ran to the waiting area in front of the technical stage to wait to play.
Chapter completed!
