Facing the North Carolina team, Li Yao said that the pressure is still very high, after all, the current lineup of North Carolina can be said to be a castrated version of the new "North Carolina Four Less".

Although Stanford now has its own "four less", but all the way to the game, although the opponents encountered each have the best core points, but there is no four-core like North Carolina, and the opponent's most offensive points in the previous three games is actually Kansas State University's dual-core Mike. Beasley and Bill. Walker, but Bill. Although Walker is the second point of attack, it is because he said goodbye to the game in 03 due to a serious knee injury, and in the 2006-2007 season, Walker suffered a serious injury to his left knee, and only played 7 games before the cruciate ligament was reimbursed for the season.

Under such a premise, Stanford even used Jackson, a top outside defensive player, to force Kansas State's offensive point to become Beasley's single core again.

So to put it simply, in fact, so far, Stanford University has not been under enough pressure on the defensive end, and now North Carolina is coming strongly, rich offensive points, and balanced team basketball will bring unprecedented pressure to Stanford.

But these are all too many thoughts, and now that the whistle is blowing, Li Yao has only one thought, and that is to win the game.

Not much to say about the jump ball, of course, it's Stanford University's ball possession.

Li Yao held the ball and faced Tylawn, the opponent's core point guard, Li Yao didn't pay attention to it at first, but after getting closer, he found that the original 1.80 Tylawson was half a head lower than himself, thinking about his height of nearly 1.90 after putting on his shoes, the corner of Li Yao's mouth showed a hint of evil smile.

Li Yao's breakthrough has now become the focus of all NCAA teams, and Li Yao's shooting ability is not outstanding, so Tylawson's already not tall figure actually bent down slightly to prevent Li Yao's breakthrough.

Facing Tylawson, who was lower than himself and bent over, Li Yao unceremoniously shot directly, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc, and the "duang" smashed on the front of the basket.

The North Carolina crowd also immediately chanted "rebounding".

But what they didn't expect was that the basketball had a strong spin, and although it bumped on the basket a little, it finally fell into the net.

“yes！” Li Yao couldn't help but wave his hand secretly when he looked at the goal, he also knew that his current breakthrough was quite incomprehensible in the NCAA, and the team he met next would definitely focus on defending his breakthrough, so Li Yao directly practiced shooting in training mode during the vacation, and now, Li Yao's 3-point shooting rate can reach more than 60% when no one is defending.

It was North Carolina's turn to attack, Stanford's defense was broken for the first time, maybe the individual ability of the North Carolina four is not top-notch, but the excellent team cooperation is incomparable to the pressure brought to the defensive end by the star's singles, 35 seconds of offensive time gives North Carolina plenty of rotation time, and basketball is also in Danny. After Green ran out of the open position once, he passed to him as soon as possible, and made a three-point shot from the open position and hit it steadily.

"Interesting." Seeing that the score was tied at 3:3, Li Yao also looked at the retreating North Carolina people with great interest, since we want to play team basketball, then our Stanford four young people will have a good competition with your new North Carolina four young people.

Li Yao called Robin during the attack. Lopez stepped forward to block and dismantle, and now Stanford has played the block and dismantle, and the defensive formation is also pulled to the side of Li Yao and Robin who went down completely Rakka, Henry, who ran out of the vacant position, faced the opponent's supplementary defender after receiving the pass from Li Yao, and the high-profile inside line Brook. Lopez, Brooke hook hit the board.

Unlike the usual games, Stanford's offensive rhythm was not able to run under the delayed time to play offense in North Carolina and the excellent defensive formation, except for a few times because of the successful defensive counterattack that Stanford relied on to become famous, the rest of the time, Stanford was completely caught in the basketball rhythm of North Carolina, which made Li Yao very uncomfortable, although the offensive end was able to contribute to the team's offense by relying on blocking and dismantling tactics, but the score was never opened and was in a state of anxiety.

Li Yao's mood also became impatient.

For the first time since his rebirth, he has never felt such pressure against O.J. Mayo and Mike Beasley, two strong contenders, or Joe Alexander, a lottery player who led the team to overthrow Duke University, and Li has doubted his ability.

Coach Trent Johnson also saw that his disciple did not have the radiant look he had in the previous game, and his frowning brows showed his current distress, so Coach Trent Johnson called a timeout as soon as possible, and he needed to enlighten his disciple.

"Lee, what do you think about the situation on the field?" Coach Trent Johnson looked at a Li Yao who was drinking a drink without saying a word, and asked.

"Coach, although on the offensive end we can still rely on our skillful blocking and pick-and-roll tactics to play offensively, but on the defensive end we can't limit North Carolina's scoring, which will only make the game keep burning, so it will be difficult for us to take the game into our own hands." Although it is not clear why coach Trent Johnson called a timeout and did not want to solve the anxiety on the court, he asked his opinion.

"Lee, first of all, I'm going to tell you that basketball is round, and you can't always take the game into your own hands, not even Jordan. Secondly, in addition to the fame that our previous three games have brought you, there is also pressure, you must know that the other party is a strong North Carolina, and our Stamford is a dark horse that is not favored by people since entering the round of 64, and many people have been impressed to get to this point, but now your idea is to completely open the score as before, Lee, your current inflated mentality is not right. "Coach Trent Johnson is enlightening Li Yao, and he doesn't want his disciples to get into the troubles they are in today.

"But, coach, didn't you say that the core of the team should take the team's victory or defeat on yourself, although they are strong in North Carolina, but we at Stanford are not vegetarians." Li couldn't figure out what Coach Trent Johnson meant by what he said, but he still spoke his mind.

"Look, Lee, that's the right mentality, you shouldn't always put yourself on the top side, you have to see the other side's strengths. Like you said, North Carolina is strong, but we at Stanford are not vegetarians, since you think so, why bother trying to pull away from the score? And now we're the ones who are leading. Hearing Lee's words, Coach Trent Johnson knew that although Lee's mind had not yet been converted, the next thing was to look at himself.

"Lee, do you think about why the Dallas Mavericks were killed by the Warriors last year?" Coach Trent Johnson continued to ask.

"That," Li Yao hesitated not to know how to explain.

"Because the Mavericks are the league's No. 1 record, and the Warriors are called 'barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes' in your Chinese language, the mentality of the two affected the entire series, and in the end, the stronger Mavericks lost the game, and why did the Warriors, who carried the momentum of the Black Eight Miracle, lose to the Jazz in the second round? Because the Jazz don't care who he plays, they still rely on their own blocking and dismantling to play the game smoothly, this mentality makes the Warriors with a hot atmosphere have no choice, and it is the Jazz who win in the end. ”

"Do you want me to explain the finals to you?" Coach Trent Johnson continued to ask.

Of course not, after listening to Coach Trent Johnson, now Li Yao also understands how important the mentality is for a team, and the reason why the Cavaliers lost 0:4 to the Spurs in the finals is because the difference in strength is too big? No, it's a matter of mentality, the little emperor who was praised by the league finally overturned his old rival Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Cavaliers at this time were gushing like a volcanic eruption, both the media and James himself thought that this year was the moment when his emperor ascended the throne, but he met an iceberg-like spur in the finals, and the collision between the volcano and the iceberg turned out to be the iceberg that destroyed the volcano.

Under the guidance of coach Trent Johnson, Li Yao finally calmed down, and also understood that although he performed well in the previous games and led the team to win the game easily, this does not mean that he is better than Oj. Mayo, Mike. Beasley, Joe. Alexander is stronger, just because he has a group of strong teammates, but now that he actually puts himself and the team on the high side, it seems that the games he won before really inflated himself and couldn't find his true self.

Originally, my first reaction to the opponent was how to try to win the game, but now I am thinking about how to quickly open the score and kill the game.

"Coach, I understand, don't worry, we will do our best to win the game." After figuring it out, Li Yao also put his mentality right again, although so, Li Yao said that he must win the game.

"Very well, Lee, you can understand, and the rest of the game will be up to you." Coach Trent Johnson waved his hand to let them play when he saw that although Li Yao had corrected his mentality, he did not relax in the slightest desire to chase victory.

Li Yao, who appeared again, no longer had the anxiety he had before, and controlled the ball steadily, don't you want to waste time to play extreme offensive time, then we will play with you, Li Yao just dribbled the ball outside the three-point line and looked at Tylawn.

Tylawson, who was stared at by Li Yao very uncomfortably, saw that Li Yao didn't call his teammates to block and dismantle as soon as he came up like before, although he was puzzled, but he still concentrated on defending Li Yao.

Until the time of the attack reaches 20 seconds. Li Yao has finally started.
