Lin Rui could have played in the last few minutes of the first half.

But Holland wanted to use the team's score that was not much behind to remind Lin Rui that March Crazy should pay more attention to controlling his fouls.

But Durant's consecutive three-pointers were unexpected to Holland, which made the price very high.

The 10-point gap is very big for NCAA games.

Ucla's carelessness plunged them into a passive state.

Judging from the first half, UCL's performance was not good. Their offense was mostly scored by solo, and they did not open up their defensive counterattacks and outside shootings that they were good at.

Neither Westbrook nor Collison did a good job of connecting.

Of course, UCL is stronger than the University of Texas because of their depth of lineup, which is why they did not completely collapse even if they were in such a poor state.

Westbrook scored 8 points and 2 assists in the first half, with 3 turnovers.

Avraro felt bad, with only 1 of 9 shots, and scored 3 points.

Collison also performed very well, scoring 4 points and 2 assists.

UCLA's outside line has been vacant many times but has not grasped it, which has caused the University of Texas to continue to shrink, and UCL's breakthrough has become unhealthy.

UCLa's strength is on the outside. Their inside is usually blue-collar, mainly for defensive roles, but today they are forced to attack. It is conceivable how passive UCLa's outside in the first half was.

"Hey, no one expected that UCL, known as the No. 3 seed, encountered big trouble in the round of 32. Durant showed his leadership ability and scored 20 points in the first half to help the University of Texas firmly suppress his opponent."

"Lin Rui's data are 0, and only the foul number is 2. In comparison with Durant, he was suppressed."

"Lin Rui needs to reflect carefully, otherwise UCL might be really upset."

"UCla's lineup is definitely better than the University of Texas, but they were suppressed and hope to see a chance to play back in the second half."

"Hey, who knows if they can play back? Lin Rui is not good. He is a little different from Durant. Look at Durant's performance in the first half. This is the top NCAA player."

"If Lin Rui is not here, UCL's offense is a mess, and it's impossible to tell that they are the team that won the whole game."

"The University of Texas played great. Apart from Durant, Augustine also played his own style, and the others also performed very efficiently."

The commentator and many neutral fans like to see upset scenes.

They are happy to eat melons!

In the locker room.

Lin Rui stood up and took the initiative to say to everyone: "I'm sorry for not being on the court in the first half. I didn't control my fouls very well."

"Play well in the second half."

"It doesn't matter!"

"It's not your business, we're fighting too badly."

The UCL team did not have the habit of blaming teammates, and they all encouraged each other.

Ben Holland didn't say much, but started the tactical arrangements for the second half.

The second half was only 20 minutes long, and he didn't want UCL to be beaten by the following in the first game, which would become a joke.

Ben Holland was very dissatisfied with Collison and Avraro. They did not show maturity in the first half when Lin Rui was not on the court, but instead allowed the team's offense to be a mess.

These two should be able to take responsibility, but Ben Holland was disappointed.

Ben Holland looked at Lin Rui, but Lin Rui still had to take responsibility.

Ben Holland shouted at Lin Rui: "Lin, you attack in the second half, let Russell hold the ball, the big man covers Lin, you need to hit the ball from the outside."

The University of Texas is constantly shrinking its inside line today because UCL cannot make the outside line.

Now we need to open the situation from the outside.

As long as they can make a shot from the outside, their defense will not be huddled in, and the internal space will be opened up and the tactical changes will be more.

Lin Rui nodded. He knew that the second half was his time.

The half-time break ends soon.

Lin Rui returned to the court.

The commentator shouted: "Lin Rui, who had committed two consecutive fouls in the first minute of the first half, made another appearance. He is 2.05 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.22 meters. He is the scoring and assisting king of UCL. Lin is also a double MVP in the PAC-12 league. His absence in the first half caused great trouble to UCL."

Seeing Lin Rui appearing again, UCL fans and Asian fans on the scene were shouting wildly.

Their star players are finally back.

"Who is this guy? Why are you so popular?"

"Is he so high an inside or an outside?"

"Is he as good as Durant?"

Although Lin Rui is very famous, he is limited to Los Angeles. He is still not as famous as Durant throughout the United States.

Back on the court, Lin Rui patted his chest and calmed down.

He never had such a desire for a game!

UCLa's competition has been very smooth and has not encountered much trouble. Today is the first trouble Lin Rui encountered.

On this stage of the national championship, Lin Rui will never allow himself to fall in the round of 32.

The 10-point difference is not a problem in Lin Rui's eyes. He is very confident in leading the team to complete the reversal.

Even if his opponent is Durant, Lin Rui is still confident.

Westbrook was a great first half so he got the chance to stay on the court.

Lin Rui found Westbrook to explain the tactics: "Russell, if you break in later, you will pass the ball to me if you have the chance."

"Well, I will, I will look for you." Westbrook nodded.

Westbrook trusts Lin Rui's three-pointer.

He still remembers that Lin Rui would practice three-pointers in the midfield every time he trained.

When he first saw Lin Rui practicing three-pointers in the midfield, Westbrook sneered, but as Lin Rui made three-pointers in the midfield, Westbrook shut up directly.

Westbrook has nothing to say about a guy who can shoot up to 80% of his three-pointers in the midfield.

The main defense of Lin Rui is still their point guard DJ Augustine.

Augustine was obviously excited, and Augustine said to Lin Rui: "Lin, you won't be the hero who saves the team tonight, I will stare at you."

Augustine was only 1.83 meters tall, but he was not afraid of Lin Rui at all.

Of course, this was a little far away, and he just approached Lin Rui.

Augustine couldn't help but shout: "Farke!"

In the first half, Augustine and Lin Rui had no chance to match, and Augustine didn't notice that Lin Rui was so tall.

Lin Rui had contact with Augustine.

Augustine was staggered directly, and Augustine almost got so thick.

The referee blew the whistle and the second half officially began.

Avraro sent the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui became the main target of Texas State with one goal.

No one dares to underestimate Lin Rui.

Lin Rui did not launch an attack immediately, but instead sent the ball to Westbrook after being hit.

Westbrook showed super explosive power and rushed to the basket with one step past Texas shooting guards.

Westbrook's physical fitness is top-notch. As long as he rushes, the defense will be very passive.

Fearing Westbrook's impact, Durant and both inside players shrank back to the basket.

Westbrook did not recklessly, but dribbled out again. The 35-second offensive time needed to score this round.

UCLa's fans were anxious as they watched the team's offense seem to be stagnant.

Fans' anxiety did not last long.

Westbrook gave the ball back to Lin Rui.

One meter outside the three-point line on the right, Lin Rui held the ball and threatened three times.

Augustine stepped on the three-point line to defend Lin Rui. In Augustine's opinion, Lin Rui had a three-point shooting range, but it would not be that far.

Lin Rui saw that Augustine didn't come up, and hesitated.

Decisively and domineeringly.

A textbook-style three-point push shot.

Lin Rui's height looks weird with push shots, but fans who are familiar with him know that Lin Rui's move is very stable.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc!

"Swish!"

One arrow pierces the heart!
Chapter completed!
