This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 105 Chemical Reactions

Zhou Lin's supplementary defense was really timely.

It directly forced Wes Miller to make a mistake.

Wes Miller really didn't have the courage to shoot directly in front of Zhou Lin, who was head-high.

The Patriots got the ball here.

This goal alone caused most of the fans on the scene to cheer and raise their hands, shouting 'beat the Tar Bells'.

As for the fans of the Tar Bells, they were drowned in the crowd.

Because it is not a home stadium, but it is better than a home stadium, at least 8% of the fans support the Patriots, and the fans of the University of North Carolina who have traveled thousands of miles to Washington, DC, are estimated to be only 2000 people.

It was almost submerged in the crowd at the scene.

However, the Patriots did not take the lead in finding the touch of the shot. After almost a turnaround, Zhou Lin found the open Lamar Butler, who missed the open shot.

This pitcher who usually hits more than [-]% of his open three-pointers in training, seems to be a little tight today.

Looking back, the Patriots used a team defense again, allowing Hansbrough, who was facing a double-team, to force a shot, and the basketball knocked out of the frame.

The sound of banging iron continued.

In the opening 3 minutes, the two sides attacked for seven rounds.

But not a single goal.

Whether it's a layup or a long shot.

The basket acts as the best defensive player.

It wasn't until the eighth round that Will Thomas made a tip-up at the basket.

The opening hit rate was almost appalling.

Looking back, after missing the first two shots, Hansbrough finally found an opportunity in the interior to make a small hook.

Although he scored a goal, the face of Roy Williams caught by the camera was very gloomy.

Because the Patriots' failure to score and the Tar Bells' failure to score are actually two completely different reasons.

In fact, the Patriots got a few good offensive opportunities, but they just didn't feel good, while the Tar Bells were restricted by opponents who used a lot of physical confrontation and more focused defense.

There are two major scoring points inside and outside the team.

Hansbrough was caught in an infinite card fight with Jay Lewis and seemed to want to treat every round like a wrestling exercise.

As for David Noel, he didn't take advantage of the matchup with Zhou Lin. He tried to trick Zhou Lin into fouling several times, but Zhou Lin saw through the latter's intentions at a glance.

In fact, after a full NCAA season, Zhou Lin has undoubtedly become smarter and more cunning, and he has adapted a lot to the NCAA referee's whistle.

At least under the eyes of the referee, he will make himself as harmless as organic vegetables.

As the ace coach in the NCAA, he thinks this is a very bad hunch, and often these hunches will eventually come true.

Because you can't always hope that the opponent can't make a shot.

What's more, Zhou Lin, the opponent's ace player, hasn't even made a single shot. As the top scorer in the Patriots team, the budget for 20 points per game is small.

Zhou Lin, who has matured a bit, has been looking for touches for his teammates.

And this ominous premonition finally came true in the next round.

Fralin Campbell made his first [-]-pointer of the game from the corner.

This season, Campbell, as the team's genuine sixth man, averaged 19 minutes per game, 6.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 34% three-pointers. Among players who averaged more than one shot per game, he ranked first The fourth three-pointer after Lamar Butler, Zhou Lin, and Tony Skin.

Although Campbell's scoring data is a little lower than last season, his shooting percentage and efficiency are much higher than last season.

If it hadn't been for Zhou Lin's arrival, Campbell would have been an iron-clad starter this season, and his statistics would have skyrocketed.

The three starters in the team, Jay Lewis, Lamar Butler, and Tony Skin will all graduate this summer. Campbell is recognized by the coaches and players, and will 100% become one of the core players in the team next season.

This is Campbell's second start this season. He is not at a disadvantage at all against North Carolina's high-quality rookie Bobby Freso.

In view of weight, wingspan, etc., his perimeter defense is indeed not as good as Blair's, but his scoring ability is a grade stronger than Blair's.

And Zhou Lin and Lamar Butler obviously felt that the starter Campbell had a good touch, so in the next two rounds, they fed him two more balls in a row.

Campbell seemed to be on the hook, hitting a mid-range and an outside three-pointer consecutively.

In just 2 minutes, he scored seven points.

On the other hand, for the North Carolina Tar Bells, David Noel and Wes Miller missed two shots.

At 14'21 in the first half, the Patriots took a 9-2 lead over the Tar Bells.

Bob Cousy said: "The Patriots' touch is back, and the first player to stand up is not Zhou Lin, nor Jay Lewis, nor Lamar Butler, but has played more than 30 games as a substitute Fralin Campbell, who started for the second time, this is the horror of the civilian team, every point has the possibility of breaking out at any time."

"Yes, maybe this is also related to their top player Zhou Lin. In 5 minutes, he didn't take a single shot, only had 1 assist and 1 rebound. It can only be said that the growth of the Patriots is too terrifying."

Elvin Johnson said: "Mr. Bob, I have seen Zhou Lin's game data. When facing the Kentucky Wildcats in the first round, Zhou Lin's personal data reached 33 points. It was a very difficult game. In the second round, they faced the No. 24 seed Huskies from the University of Connecticut. Zhou Lin scored 20 points. Will Thomas and Jay Lewis, the insiders of the team, performed well. In the third round, they faced the Huskies of the University of Washington. Team, Zhou Lin scored [-] points, and the five players in the team scored in double figures!"

"This is indeed a very wonderful data." Bob Cousy said: "It seems that Zhou Lin and his Patriots have entered another realm."

"The average of about 6 assists per game can also prove that Zhou Lin is not a greedy player. It is he who made the Patriots start to have a wonderful chemical reaction."

After the well-educated Roy Williams couldn't help calling a timeout, he couldn't help turning on the roaring mode.

"What about our defense and rebounding?"

"Are you gentlemen who eat a big meal? Do you still need to say hello to each other?"

"They are also a team that rushed to the top eight in the country step by step. Although they were our defeat in the preseason, they are no longer them."

"We have to forget that we are the defending champions, we have to forget that we are the proud Tar Bells, and treat this as the last game."

"Lower your stance."

"Go fight, go grab!"

What Roy Williams had to admit was that his players were somewhat under-prepared. With the pride of the defending champion and the countless auras of the University of North Carolina, they were not ready for a life-and-death battle.
