Coming out of the timeout, Kansas didn't make any personnel changes, but made some changes to the play set.
The player defending Chen Yan has changed from Julian Wright to Brandon Rush.
Rush is Kansas' best outside defender, and before that his assignment had been to take care of Durant's defense, and Chen Yan's opening outburst forced Kansas head coach Bill Self to make some changes in his defensive strategy.
On the offensive end, Kansas continues to play as a team.
Chalmers and Sasha Cowan hit a classic block.
Sasha Kaun picked up the ball down the line, and seeing that Damian James was already filling in on defense, Sasha Kaun made a turn and laid the ball off to Rush.
Rush fakes and then drills inside for a small throw-in.
The score was 13-6 on the field.

Just at the moment when their bodies were about to come into contact, Chen Yan made a direct turn!
After passing Rush, Chen Yan came to the left 45 degree bullhorn area.
"Dang!"
Facing Darrell Arthur, who was replacing the defense, Chen Yan made a sharp stop and then another crotch + turn!
Two dashing turns in a row!
At this moment, Chen Yan was synonymous with silky smoothness!
Enjoying basketball is the highest state in the game, and Chen Yan is kind of getting into that state right now, getting more and more daring to make moves on the offensive end!
After shaking off half a body position, Chen Yan did not hesitate and directly pulled!
Nice turn!
Floating out of the way!
"Clang!"
It's just a shame ... that the ball is short!
But as luck would have it, the basketball bounced to the front of the rim and bounced into the basket!
Darrell Arthur and Rush looked at each other with helpless expressions.
If that's all it takes to get in, it's really just a matter of how it's going to happen.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Chen Yan smiled.
This is the game, can not be in control of every ball, in the strength of the basis of sometimes have to rely on a little bit of luck.
The fans continued to scream as Chen Yan's personal score had risen to 12 points!
"Ding! Detected that the host has a hot hand to start the game, now unlocking the original skill [Hot Start (Passive Skill)!"
[Hot Start (Passive Skill): from the start of the game, the host stacks the shooting percentage bonus for every shot scored, up to a maximum cap of 20% increase in their own shooting percentage, until the first shot is missed].
GET new skills now!
Chen Yan became even more exuberant after hearing the system beep!
This skill has a very low floor, and if you miss the first pitch of the opener it's not going to help at all ...
But again, it has a high ceiling!
If you keep scoring up to 20% of your own hits, it's pretty scary!
And regardless of what this skill was really like, just for the fact that it didn't require honor points and didn't need to complete any quests to unlock it.
This was simply the favorite of white whoring monsters like Chen Yan!
Now Chen Yan had the [Fiery Start] status on him.
His biggest wish right now is that this touch continues until the end of the game!
But this is real life and not a novel, how can it be so cool?
"Clunk!"
Three rounds later, a catch by Chen Yan went wide of center!
With this ball of iron, Chen Yan body [hot start] this BUFF also disappeared ...
With 10:47 to go in the game, Kansas assistant coach Tim Jokovich glanced at the players' technical stats on the big screen.
All players on the Kansas side of the court scored, but no player scored more than six points, which is very average.
On the Texas side, only DJ Augustine, Durant and Chen Yan scored.
But Chen Yan's individual score has risen to 20 points!
Tim Jokovic rushes off to whisper in head coach Selph's ear, "My god ... this guy is probably going to score 80 points tonight! This guy is poised to score 80 points!
Even though Tim Jokovic had deliberately lowered his voice, his tone still revealed a full of surprise.
It's important to realize that Chen Yan is not playing in a cell league, he's playing against a team made up of five professional players who are going to be in the NBA in the future!
The score was 49-36 in the final 30 seconds of the first half.
The Texas Longhorns have the lead for now and have the last play of the first half.
DJ Augustine dribbles the ball past half court.
Mario Chalmers pushed hard, but luckily DJ Augustine was fundamentally sound, dribbling with consecutive back-to-back handoffs and nursing the ball all the way across half-court.
Durant stepped up to receive the ball and when he got it he was in no hurry to attack.
NCAA rounds are 35 seconds on offense, and this shot is going to run out the clock even if it doesn't go in, not giving the opponent a second of opportunity.
Durant held the ball in one hand to run the clock down to 12 seconds left.
Durant moved his feet, and just when everyone thought he was going to start a one-two punch, Chen Yan suddenly circled out from the baseline!
"Damn! Don't let that guy get the ball!"
"Don't let that guy execute that last pitch!"
The Kansas fans were tearing up the stands, and it's no exaggeration to say that they're now nervous whenever Chen Yan gets the ball.
However, the game is not the fans voice control, the next second Durant or a hand pass hand the ball to Chen Yan!
Chen Yan was the player with the most explosive form of the whole team in the first half, and there was nothing wrong with this choice by Durant.
At that point, the last eight seconds remained until the end of the first half!
Facing Brandon Rush's single defense, Chen Yan got off the ball and did an early crossover dribble.
The tempo varies from slow to fast, and the amplitude from small to large.
Suddenly!
Chen Yan threw out a substantial CROSSOVER!
Rush was already mentally prepared that Chen Yan would use this move.
But when Chen Yan really used this move, Rush still didn't react a bit!
After shaking Rush by half a body length, Chen Yan didn't rush out.
In this instant Chen Yan seemed to have figured out Rush's defensive mentality.
Just as Rush moved across the room and was about to post in front of himself, Chen Yan threw out another [CROSSOVER]
Dual CROSSOVER!
Brandon Rush is completely out of position!
Chen Yan easily kills a small step inside the free throw line and writes a throw shot!
"Swish!"
The ball-in light is on!
The first half of the game is over!
At the sight of the ball going into the net in response, the Kansas fans in the stands shook their heads, covered their faces and sighed.
It seems to have anticipated this ending.
"OH-AN! Hit the whistle! This is Chen's personal 30th point of the game! Nothing can stop him from slashing points tonight anymore!"
"For those of you in front of the TV! Perhaps many of you don't realize that we are watching the craziest solo performance in the history of college basketball!!!" Inside the studio, Barkley exclaimed, rubbing his big bald head!
As much as Barkley's big mouth likes to exaggerate, all the fans watching the game tonight knew he was telling the truth!
With 30+ in a half, Chen Yan is turning the Sweet 16 into his own personal show!
Seeing Chen Yan's strong performance of continuous scoring at the beginning of the game, a lot of fans have predicted that he might be able to cut down more than 30 points tonight.
But what was never expected was for him to get this score in just half a game ...
