This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 80 Hold on to Victory, Top 32

This kind of loophole is on the defensive end, so it can't escape Bobby Smith's observation, and there is also Jane Rondo with a very high IQ on the court.

In the first round back, Rondo passed the ball to Joe Crawford, who had the strongest breakthrough ability and was on the flank. The latter held the ball and went straight to the inside. Randolph Morris, but at the moment Jay Lewis and Zhou Lin quickly made up.

Lowering the height also means that the speed of foot movement will increase, at least the level of coordinated defense in the interior will be raised to a higher level.

Randolph Morris made a note. In order to avoid Zhou Lin's imminent block, the latter used a big hook that was not particularly good at.

The ball bounced off the rim a few times and didn't go in.

Lewis withstood Morris, Zhou Lin was fighting with Bobby Perry, and dialed the ball to the outside.

Tony Skin, the thinnest player on the field, grabbed the floor ball, and Crawford and Rondo tried to grab the ball in Tony Skin's hands, but the referee unceremoniously whistled a normal Foul, but the number of fouls in the second half has reached seven times, as long as there is a foul, 1+1 free throws will be executed.

Tony Skin withstood the pressure and made two free throws, adding two points for the Patriots.

64-58 with 7'58 left in the clock.

This time, Jane Rondo tried another offensive method and hit a two-pointer at the top of the arc.

64-60 with 7'45 left in the clock.

Jane Rondo has started to speed up, trying to shorten the time of each offensive round.

And Zhou Lin, who did not show a strong offensive strength in the second half, also took the initiative to ask for the waist position in the next offensive round.

Because the four players on the Patriots side have the ability to shoot from the outside, the Wildcats switched to a man-to-man defense. Facing Bobby Perry at position [-], Zhou Lin made an accelerated emergency stop , Let the latter lose his center of gravity, and then only kill the basket.

Facing Randolph Morris' defense, Zhou Lin calmly changed hands for a layup, dodged and moved, and scored two points.

66-60 with 7'15 left in the clock.

Rondo has been speeding up, but the Patriots are also following very closely, their footsteps are so sticky, Tony Skin is also frantically pestering Jane Rondo, Rondo can only borrow a pick-and-roll, and move towards Going to the basket. At this moment, there are Lewis, Campbell, and Zhou Lin under the basket, and Tony Skinn's defense behind him. Rondo can only pass the ball behind the back to Bradley.

Bradley, who had made achievements before, almost shot a three-pointer against an empty basket this round, but he almost made a three-pointer. The four of the Patriots worked together to get the rebound again.

Zhou Lin's ball was fast, Tony Skin rushed to the basket, facing Joe Crawford who was defending, he was not greedy, a pass back to Zhou Lin who kept up, and Zhou Lin was Ended the round with a dunk.

68-60 with 6'40 left in the clock.

When the opponent couldn't use the zone defense, Zhou Lin stood up twice in a row, attacked the opponent's inside line, and scored a precious four points.

And these four points quickly stabilized the Patriots' morale!
In the next round, facing the compressed inside line without much offensive space, Rondo once again passed the ball to the outside line. Joe Crawford quickly used a three-pointer to close the score again.

68-63 with 6'09 left in the clock.

This three-pointer is indeed thirst-quenching, but Joe Crawford has not been happy for too long. When he arrived at the enemy's position, Zhou Lin faced the combined attack of Bradley and Bobby. He directly scored a three-pointer. A dry jump shot from outside the line, the ball fell to the center of the basket impartially, with a crisp sound.

This is Zhou Lin responding to Joe Crawford.

71-63 with 5'37 left in the clock.

Zhou Lin also scored 7 points in a row after returning from the timeout, and his score at this moment is also the only one on the field to break 20.

Whether it was the scene, the Chinese restaurant in Washington, or the American audience in front of the TV, they were all moved by Zhou Lin's performance at the moment.

And Zhou Lin, who usually doesn't like publicity, beat his chest to celebrate.

The Kentucky Wildcats, which seemed to have surfaced, were as uncomfortable as if their heads had been pinched and stuffed into the water again.

Three goals, everyone's heart!

Although Bobby Smith saw the change in the situation on the field, called a timeout again, and began to adopt an attitude of double-teaming Zhou Lin, but Zhou Lin, who had already opened up his touch, was not something the Wildcats could stop again .

At 5'02, Zhou Lin received a pass from Tony Skinner, and with the help of Campbell's pick-and-roll, with little space for shots, Zhou Lin once again pierced Yang with three-pointers.

At 4'21, Zhou Lin turned around and hit a jumper in the face of Bobby Jones and Randolph Morris' double-team.

At 3'24, Lewis intercepted Randolph Morris's ball, made a fast break on the third line, and Zhou Lin scored two points again.

At 2'49, Zhou Lin was fouled by Rondo and made two free throws.

Within 3 minutes, until Zhou Lin made another free throw.

It is already a wave of 20-10 offense.

82-68.

The score has been stretched to 14 points again.

At the end of the second half, after putting on the five small lineups, Zhou Lin scored 16 points alone, and his personal score reached 31 points.

Although the Wildcats were able to make some three-pointers, the shooting effect from the outside line was not obvious, and the inside line, which had a considerable advantage, was very ineffective because of the contraction of the zone defense.

Failure to stop Zhou Lin's scoring was the beginning of failure.

Even if the famous coach Bobby Smith wanted to change his fate against the sky, it would not help. Joe Crawford's two late three-pointers could not pull Kentucky back from the cliff.

At 54 seconds, Zhou Lin, who was fouled, hit two free throws again.

Raised his personal data to 33 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds, and scored an astonishing 21 points in the second half.

The Wildcats are still 11 points behind.

With Joe Crawford and Bobby Perry missing the final two [-]-pointers, the Wildcats were scoreless.

The score was finally fixed at 89-76.

The George Mason Patriots advanced to the top 32, while the former king Kentucky Wildcats stopped in the first round.

爱国者队这边除了周林以外，刘易斯得到7分7篮板，托尼.斯金6分4助攻，拉马尔.巴特勒11分2助攻。

野猫队这边，隆多拿下11分9助攻的准两双，乔.克劳福德16分4篮板，伦道夫.莫里斯8分9篮板。

"Although I am very unwilling, I still want to congratulate you for advancing to the next round. Keep going!"

Rondo's face was full of unhappiness, but he still performed impeccably in terms of etiquette.

Zhou Lin and Rondo shook hands: "Thank you for your congratulations, do I need to introduce myself? My name is Zhou Lin and I am from China."

"The guy who embarrassed me, of course, I remember you, Zhou Lin, we will fight on a bigger stage!"

The bigger stage refers to the NBA...
