This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 101 Hold on to the Victory, Elite Eight

At 17'15 in the second half, with Lamar Butler's third three-pointer, the score was stretched to 3 points again.

57-50.

In the next round, Brandon Roy, who had attacked four times in a row, delegated power to defender Justin Dantemont, and he also needed to rest.

The latter got into the inside of the Patriots and caused Jay Lewis' shooting foul, but only made one of two free throws.

Looking back, on the Patriots side, Lamar Butler, who had already made three three-pointers, got Will Thomas' pick-and-roll.

When he raised his hand, Brandon Roy, who was a little afraid of the opponent's range, was shot away.

The former broke into the inside, and in the face of supplementary defense, Lamar Butler made a back pass to Will Thomas who followed up. There was no one in front of him, and Thomas actually made an empty basket.

This is the beginning of everything!

Even in training, it is rare to see Lamar make such an exquisite pass after a breakthrough.

It can only be said that the Patriots players are completely in the game state.

Zhou Lin rushed over and bumped shoulders with Lamar to celebrate.

At 16'25, 59-51 in the second half, the Patriots continued to widen the point difference.

"Now the Patriots are like a machine, working perfectly, every part is working step by step, instead of relying on Zhou's powerful engine, this Patriots team is better than the last round against Connecticut University. It's even scarier."

Elvin Johnson said with emotion.

The current Patriots team is completely in a situation where the sky is blooming, with average scoring and selfless players.

Coach Lorenzo sees it. In fact, both the Patriots and Huskies are improving this year, but compared to the progress of the Huskies, the progress of the Patriots can be called evolution!
The confidence of each player has also reached the best state.

Five starters, each performing their own duties, made the Huskies really unable to find a suitable breakthrough.

Undoubtedly, the Patriots are as good as they were when they first met.

The Huskies are afraid to lose this game.

Of course, Brandon Roy was not reconciled to such a situation.

Stopping the Sweet 16 again?
Same ending as last year?

Brandon Roy doesn't want to bow his head in front of fate. Although the NBA has long opened the door to him, the regret of the NCAA is irreparable for a lifetime.

Brandon Roy kept trying outside shots, continued to maintain his touch, and even made those difficult shots that were well defended.

But in the face of the gradually fully integrated Patriots, the defeat of the Huskies began to be gradually revealed.

Indeed, on the offensive end, Brandon Roy can solve most of the problems with his personal ability, but what about the defensive end?
Zhou Lin, who is difficult to deal with by himself, and other members of the Patriots who are in good condition today.

Brandon Roy had an unsustainable feeling.

In the second half, 5'25, with the successful cooperation of Tony Skin and Jay Lewis, the inside scored points.

All five of the Patriots scored in double figures.

周林17分6助攻，拉马尔.巴特勒16分4助攻，托尼.斯金12分5助攻，威尔.托马斯13分6篮板，杰.刘易斯11分4篮板，还有替补席上的球员的贡献得分。

78-63, the Huskies have fallen behind by a full 15 points.

At this time, Brandon Roy made 19 of 8 shots and 10 of 6 shots in the second half. He also scored a game-high 20 points.

But the suspense of the game was slowly disappearing. The audience even started to celebrate the victory for George Mason University ahead of schedule, and the mascot of George Mason University waved the team flag excitedly.

Lorenzo called a timeout. This was Lorenzo's last stubbornness. He chased for 5 points in less than 15 and a half minutes, and the opponent was in good shape. Even he himself was a little bit difficult, but he still called a timeout .

During the break, Roy panted heavily and took a big sip of water. His eyes were full of unwillingness and tenacity.

"Come on, Team Huskies."

Lorenzo shouted: "One last fight, don't give up."

The players are back on the field again.

Facing the players of the Patriots who are also eager to win.

"There are still five and a half minutes to go, kids of the University of Washington, come on."

Bob Cousy said regretfully.

"It was a great game, but it's a pity that there is only one winner."

The Patriots also had a few games in which most of their leads were finally caught up, but in this very important game, the Patriots did not show any more stretches.

Although Brandon Roy, who was a little tired, made a strong 3+1 goal after a few rounds, this was also his last madness.

Facing the final struggle of the Huskies, Zhou Lin and Tony Skinn scored a three-pointer each, ending the final suspense of the game with their own hands.

Along with the Huskies' Justin Dantemon missed a [-]-pointer.

Jay Lewis, who picked up the rebound, threw the basketball high into the air!

Time is running out.

competition is over!

The Patriots finally held on to the victory 87-71.

此役，周林得到了20分6助攻，拉马尔.巴特勒16分5助攻，托尼.斯金15分5助攻，威尔.托马斯15分7篮板，杰.刘易斯11分5篮板。

"Let's move on, with our faith."

Brandon Roy still generously hugged Zhou Lin, and then walked towards the player tunnel a little lonely.

In this game, he scored 22 points on 9 of 24 shots and was good enough.

Next, he will board the NBA, which is the largest basketball stage in the world.

"Salute to you!" Zhou Lin expressed his respect.

And Zhou Lin and his Patriots will continue to move forward for their dreams.

"Wow, it's amazing, we...we really entered the top eight in the country!"

"It wasn't a dream! We made it, brothers!"

"What is impossible, we have to move towards a higher goal!"

The Patriots did not leave the field, but stood together, roared loudly, and enjoyed the cheers of the fans at the scene.

The joy belongs to the victor.

Tonight, the Patriots were heroes.

All the fans stood up and cheered for them, allowing George Mason's players to really enjoy the home court treatment.

And the next day, that is, March 3, they can play another game at this venue.

The opponent was the North Carolina Tar Bells who defeated Wichita State University.

Another old rival, another battle of revenge, this time the Patriots will definitely do their best.

"Defeat the Tar Bells!"

"Defeat the Tar Bells!"

"Defeat the Tar Bells!"

I don't know who took the lead in shouting, but this kind of shouting began to appear in the audience.

Even Boss Joe, who had left the arena to go to the lounge, heard the harsh voice.
