"Powerful Connecticut! After they resumed their normal offensive and defensive rhythm, they are really strong and a bit scary."

"I just feel a little sad for the supporters of George Mason University. Is the Patriots' dark horse road really going to stop?"

"It's hard for them to continue. In the second half, Zhou Lin's shooting rate was 6 for 0, and in the first half, he was only 10 of 2. This is obviously the data of an unqualified leader."

"Yeah, you can't expect role players to decide the game."

"There is still a little time, and I hope the Patriots will not give up, at least they will fight hard."

Coach Jim, who couldn't stand it anymore, called a timeout.

With about 10 minutes left, Zhou Lin, who was sitting on the bench, kept taking deep breaths as he adjusted his state.

He looked at the audience, the Chinese flags that were still waving, and Wang Hanxiang and Misha's slightly worried but still insisting on cheering for themselves. Zhou Lin knew that he could not end the first year of the NCAA competition like this!
