After landing, James roared twice excitedly, and then gave a thumbs up in Lin Ying's direction.

A player with his style of play needs teammates who can feed him!

The huge noise at the scene also put great pressure on Iowa State University.

Taylor took advantage of a teammate's cover and took another mid-range shot that ended in a strike.

The NCAA is a student league, and there is still a gap between the psychological quality of most students and professional players.

At this moment, Hornacek stood up and walked to the sideline and shouted several times to the Iowa State players.

It seems that the composition of the coaching staff at Iowa is somewhat similar to that at the University of Texas.

Although Hornacek is just here for the first time, he already seems to be the team's first assistant coach.

The University of Texas attacked the frontcourt again, and Iowa State University adjusted its defensive method from man-to-man to 2-3 zone defense!

Zone defense tactics are the most commonly used defensive tactics in the NCAA.

The University of Texas usually focuses on training zone defense, so Lin Ying is still familiar with this tactic.

Just like the 2-3 zone defense in front of us.

Two players are close to the three-point line at the top of the arc, and three players are on the bottom line, forming a 2-3 position from the three-point line to the bottom line.

This is where the name 2-3 zone comes from.

After completing their positioning, these five people automatically divided the rebounding half into five close areas.

Each person is responsible for their own area, and the defensive center of gravity moves with the ball, always putting pressure on the defender.

There are four types of zone defenses, 2-3, 3-2, 2-1-2 and 1-3-1.

Different numbers represent different positions on the field, and also represent different defensive focuses.

The focus of the 2-3 zone defense is to protect the basket.

It seems that James' dunk just now made Iowa State University a little bit intolerable.

But Lin Ying was overjoyed when she saw this.

The University of Texas usually trains zone defense, so naturally it also trains how to break the zone defense.

The best weapon to break the zone defense is the three-pointer, because no matter what the formation of the zone defense is, there is always a gap in the protection of the perimeter.

As long as you have reasonable scheduling and stable three-pointers, it is not difficult to break the zone defense.

And that's exactly what the University of Texas has.

In addition to Augustin, who is good at three-pointers, there is... Durant!

Durant is not good at three-pointers, but as a player with historical shooting talent, his three-pointers have never been weak.

Since the start of the NCAA, his three-point shooting percentage has reached 40.3%.

Although it is a little worse than Augustine, it is definitely first-rate.

Lin Ying stretched out his hand to make a tactical gesture, and Augustin took the lead in using the cover to move to the 45-degree three-point line.

His running game also drew the attention of Iowa State's defense.

Compared to Lin Ying, they obviously have better understanding and preparation for Augustine.

However, after the defensive focus shifts, their protection of the weak side, that is, the side without the ball, will inevitably become weaker.

Durant took advantage of the screen on the baseline and fell to the bottom corner on the other side.

Before he could reach the ball, Lin Ying's pass was already on the way.

This is the tacit understanding between Lin Ying and Durant.

Durant ran, caught the ball, and shot in one go.

Iowa State University reacted and had no time to defend.

This is also the biggest weakness of zone defense. Once the opponent finds an opportunity on the outside, it is basically impossible to take advantage of it.

Durant's shooting posture is very standard and quite stable.

In terms of training volume, Durant has been in the training gym since he was a child, which is far better than the average person.

The ball spins across a parabola.

"Whoosh!"

There is no suspense, the basketball goes directly through the net!

Durant also scored!

After Durant made the three-pointer, he ran directly to Lin Ying and gave him a high-five with a smile on his face.

When Lin Ying didn't start the game before, it's not like the University of Texas had never encountered a zone defense, and it's not like he never had such opportunities.

But before Randy Williams had the ball, the ball was either slowed down or simply not passed to him.

In comparison, Lin Ying's pass just now not only arrived but also had a hint of advance, which was really comfortable.

He has regained the joy he had when he was playing basketball in high school!

The Frank Erwin Center is once again in a boil.

The team's performance tonight gave them an unprecedented sense of strength and a new look!

At this time, Barnes couldn't hide his inner joy, and rarely smiled.

After Lin Ying entered the starting lineup, the changes he brought to the team far exceeded his expectations.

Especially when the zone defense was broken just now, he felt an indescribable sense of relief.

Of course, what made him so happy was the situation on the court.

After Durant made that three-pointer, the score on the court is now 10 to 2!

After just a short period of play, the University of Texas had already pulled the score to double digits!

And don't say anything about Iowa State being weak.

Before that, Texas Tech they played was not much better than Iowa State University!

Taylor's step-back jump shot after a breakthrough bounced off the rim and fell into the net, breaking Iowa State's scoring drought.

Looking back, Lin Ying found Durant again.

This time the pass was more tacit, because the ball was passed on the ground, and when the pass was passed, Durant's position overlapped with the opponent's player and could not be seen.

But the ball was still passed, and Durant ran out of position and looked in the direction of Lin Ying.

What you see here is the rebound of the ball after hitting the ground.

Catch the ball, take off, and dunk with a light two-handed glide!

What the hell is tacit understanding!

The two were high school teammates the previous year for nothing!

The cheers at the Frank Owen Center couldn't stop.

At this time, Barnes couldn't help but smile and reached out to touch his beard.

This is a reaction that people will have after they are happy to a certain extent.

What he saw was not only the tacit understanding between Lin Ying and Durant, but also the compatibility of their technical characteristics!

Durant is best at scoring and shooting without the ball, while Lin Ying is best at organizing passes and space ability.

These two people seemed to be a perfect match, just like...

By the way, just like Conley and Oden at Ohio State University!

Barnes is really a little happy. He has already compared Lin Ying and Durant with the most talented twin stars in the NCAA.

However, he would never have imagined that Lin Ying's playing style was actually his own choice.

When analyzing what style of play he should form, Durant, his strongest teammate, is also one of the considerations.

The game on the field continues, and the University of Texas always has the initiative on the field.

Barnes gave Lin Ying enough trust, and he also gave Barnes enough rewards!

His organization and space ability have transformed the University of Texas' offense.

On the other hand, at Iowa State University, it was really Taylor's performance alone.

After the first quarter, the score on the field was 40 to 24, and Texas University entered the halftime break with a huge 16-point advantage.

When entering the players' tunnel, the University of Texas players kept shouting and walking in a hurry.

The season has been going on for more than a month, and this is the first time they have had such a comfortable experience!

Back in the locker room, the mood of the players remained the same, and James even performed an impromptu rap to cheer up the mood.

Just then Barnes came in.

The team members all looked happy, thinking that this time Barnes should praise them.
