This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 61
There are 6 minutes and 14 seconds left in the game.

Everyone looked at the scoreboard, leading by 16 points, the George Mason Patriots had a huge advantage.

This is an unexpected race condition.

Beat the University of Texas?

Victory seemed within reach.

"Focus on defense and we can hold onto the win!"

In order to cooperate with the defense, Coach Jim adjusted the lineup and replaced Lamar Butler, who scored 26 points and made 8 of 6 three-pointers, off the court, and let Blair connect the game in the final few minutes.

"Hold the three-point line and try to use up the offensive clock on each possession."

The NCAA has 35 seconds of attack time for each round, and the number of rounds divided into six minutes and 14 seconds is not many. It is certain that the Longhorns will speed up the offensive rhythm, but they have to consume enough time.

The point difference of 16 points is not easy to chase, just hold on to the victory.

"The game is not over, brothers, cheer up."

PJ Tucker patted his head, trying to make himself calmer and more excited, and applauded vigorously, constantly cheering up his teammates.

Seemingly feeling the appeal of PJ Tucker, all the players of the Longhorns became decisive.

At 6'01, Aldridge got the ball inside, facing the stocky inside combination of Jay Lewis and Will Thomas, and ended the offensive round with a dunk.

55-69.

Looking back, the feeling of suffocation that PJ Tucker gave Zhou Lin came back again. The strong arms around his body made Zhou Lin very uncomfortable. He realized the resilience of the Longhorn team in front of the cliff has been awakened.

And if you want to completely defeat this team, the most effective way is to let their spiritual leader, PJ Tucker, get the fourth foul.

With 7 seconds left in the round, Zhou Lin received the ball and faced PJ Tucker, first made a fake shot, and then crossed from left to right, trying to kill inside, PJ Tucker Ke predicted Zhou Lin's attack direction, and stood straight ahead.

Bang!
Zhou Lin felt as if he had hit a wall.

He and PJ Tucker fell almost at the same time.

Didi, the whistle sounded.

Players on both sides, coaches, and home fans all looked at the referee. Whether PJ Tucker received his fourth foul is almost related to the final outcome of the game.

This time, the referee chose to side with the Longhorns and made a gesture for an offensive foul by visitor No. 35.

Ball possession for the Longhorns.

"Come on, Longhorns."

"Come on, Longhorns."

All the home fans stood up, shouted, and cheered for the home team.

5'23, PJ Tucker, who took the lead, used a faster speed this time, squeezed into the inside, and assisted Aldridge to score a layup.

57-69.

Only 12 points behind, and the defensive shouts sounded on the court at this moment.

Tony Skin has been implementing the coach's tactical intentions, trying to control the flow of time as much as possible, but the Texas Longhorns suddenly adopted a double-team defensive method at 45 degrees. Tony Skin The ball was a bit late, and it was blocked by PJ Tucker again.

After the steal, a long pass was passed to Daniel Gibson. The latter did not choose to break through, but chose a three-point shot from outside the three-point line.

The ball also obediently fell into the basket.

4′50, 60-69, the home team is only 9 points behind, and the suspense of the game rises again.

Coach Jim called a timeout again.

This wave of 7-0 offensive caught Coach Jim a little off guard. Texas' NCAA strong team once again showed their tenacity and never gave up.

"Coach, it's my fault!"

Skinn hurriedly apologized to Jim.

"We need to score some more points, and we can't let the score be eroded any more."

Jim draws another play, hoping to get back on the field and score right away.

What coach Jim didn't expect was that the defensive aggressiveness of the Longhorns returning from the timeout was still improving.

It was Tony Skinn who led the defense in the field. After another loss, the speed of the ball was faster than last time. Both Blair and Zhou Lin went to respond, and then escorted the ball safely to the frontcourt.

Tony Skinn gave the ball to Zhou Lin, and started to cut sideways, and Jay Lewis also came up to pick and roll in time. With the help of the pick and roll, Zhou Lin got rid of PJ Tucker's defense, but at this moment, Daniel Gibson appeared in front of Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin couldn't deal with it in time. Although he barely passed the ball, he still knocked down Daniel Gibson.

Not surprisingly, he received his second offensive foul and the third foul of the game.

Gibson was also excited to bump his chest with PJ Tucker to vent his emotions.

"Don't try to bring the victory back to Washington easily, the game is not over yet!"

PJ Tucker looked at Zhou Lin and shouted droolingly.

Back in their half, Gibson became the focus of the opposing team at this time. He also hit 4 three-pointers in this game. Although Blair chased very hard, he was still hit high by the latter. Difficult 3-point shot.

On the fifth three-pointer, Daniel Gibson's pitching qualities were fully displayed.

3'57, 69-63, the Patriots' advantage continued to be eroded.

Moreover, there were four or five full rounds, and the Patriots did not score. With the momentum of the home fans, the Longhorns led by PJ Tucker were full of momentum.

At 3'27, Zhou Lin broke through, but was blocked by Aldridge inside.

After scoring four rounds in a row, Aldridge, 3'11, interrupted the momentum of consecutive goals.

However, PJ Tucker joined forces with Daniel Gibson to counterattack immediately and created another offensive foul by Blair. Because the total fouls in the second half had reached 7 times, PJ Tucker walked to the free throw line.

1+1 free throw, PJ Tucker missed the second free throw.

2'58.

69-64, the Patriots have only a 5-point lead left.

Lamar Butler was already in the substitution zone, but on the possession before he was due to enter the game, Blair received a pass from Zhou Lin and scored his third goal of the game.

A hitter is two points long.

Breaking the embarrassment of not scoring in six consecutive rounds.

71-64, holding a seven-point advantage, with only 2'33 left in the clock, which is already a relatively safe score.

"Defend this round!"

Coach Jim also stood up and shouted loudly on the sidelines, if he can defend the opponent in this round, the game will basically be won.

PJ Tucker is still creating shooting space for Gibson, who has recovered his touch. Now the two-pointer is too slow to chase points, but Zhou Lin's attention has also focused on Gibson.

The moment Gibson made a shot, Zhou Lin also jumped up high. Zhou Lin felt that he touched the basketball by less than half a centimeter, but the basketball also changed its track.

"Backboard!"

Daniel Gibson felt that the basketball was off track and knew that he was blocked by Zhou Lin.
