0038: [Sticks out his tongue]
Although in the NCAA March Madness, upsets are a common thing. Because, this is a decisive and lose-lose format, and the chances are high. A lot of players have also become famous because of it.
But for the viewers in front of the TV... The odds of Stanford beating the Longhorns are too low.
The Texans have more than enough talent and instant prowess. Although the Crimson team has a very eye-catching point guard, the other players are just good functional role players, and when it comes to critical moments, it is still up to super players to step up and solve everything.
That's why Aldridge was the favorite in the 2006 draft.
The pace of the stalemate changed in the 14th minute of the second half, and the Texas Cowboys finally couldn't stand the tendentious cheering of the entire San Diego arena and the fact that a team that had made it to the tournament by luck couldn't stand it.
The first to mount a comeback was Aldridge, the NCAA superstar who first disrupted Scott's imperative layup with a beautiful interference. Then in a quick counterattack, he hit a jumper from the three-point line.
The goal earned him the exclamation of countless NBA administrators on television: In this day and age, when a power forward can hit a pull-up jump shot from beyond the three-point line, it's an absolute shining point.
Then... Gibson returned to the lineup after sitting on the cold bench for most of the half.
After the head coach gave him an in-depth 'enlightenment' with a series of letters starting with 'S', 'F' and 'M', he finally understood that his strength was not in heads-up, but in integrating into the team and becoming a battery outside the three-point line.
When he handed over the basketball and ran all over the court, tearing through Stanford's entire defense, he was ready to catch the ball and shoot at any moment. The attack firepower of the Longhorn Bulls has risen sharply!
With 3:15 left in the game, he hit a three-pointer.
He finally raised his eyebrows and released trash talk to Bruce: "You'll never be able to boost the team's offensive energy like I did, and you'll never be able to hit a three-pointer like I did!" ”
Daniel Gibson in the first half was so aggrieved that he was treated as a wreck by the fans of the entire arena...... Can a guy who took the initiative to provoke but was pressed and beaten by Bruce Lee be watchable?
And now, he's finally showing his strengths.
"Daniel Gibson has finally proven his worth in front of a national audience that he can be a great NBA role player. That's why I think he has a better future than Bruce Lee, who is better suited to be a core point guard than he is. However, his body was what prevented him from making the jump from the NCAA to the NBA. ”
Chatford still said this logic in the live broadcast room.
What he said was agreed by many people on TV, including NBA team administrators, and it was a very 'universal' statement.
However, Kenny Smith also has good reason: "Physical fitness can be improved, it's a variable. But basketball IQ is eternal and quantitative. Every NBA team spends a lot of money to build a professional training team, and I believe that some teams are willing to give Bruce Lee a chance, at least the Phoenix people, who are known for their training, will not sit idly by. ”
Kenny Smith's remarks also sparked the gambling hearts of some NBA administrators in front of the television.
As soon as Smith said that, Bruce made a brilliant assist on the pitch that was so beautiful that the crowd jumped. He used an exaggerated crotch pass through PJ Tucker, who was also on the move, to the depths of the paint with an exaggerated crotch pass that caught Frank Benson with no one around him...... Rumble!
The violent dunk not only shook the basket, but also shook the hearts of the audience: they roared in anger.
It's so beautiful!
"It's an absolute genius idea! How did he do it? How did he find his teammates in the box through the sight barrier, and... He actually calculated PJ Tucker's trajectory and passed the basketball from his crotch to the penalty area...... It's amazing! As a point guard, it's a way I pass and the vision I can't even imagine! ”
Kenny Smith touted in the live broadcast room: "He's almost 20 assists, right?" It's NCAA. Not to mention that such a guy is not strong in physical confrontation, even if he plays in a wheelchair, I am willing to spend money to watch him play. ”
The audience in front of the TV was indeed shocked by the pass. The multi-angle slow-motion replay was a testament to how incredibly difficult the pass could be, and how tricky Bruce's control of the angle of the pass was.
"However, Stanford is still seven points behind."
Chatford had one of the most dramatic things to say: "And the Longhorns' lead is going to get bigger and bigger." ”
This sentence instantly pulled Smith back from the beautiful picture.
Therefore, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, he felt that this draft expert was really incomprehensible.
What's even more puzzling is... Gibson. He used a quick counterrun, coupled with a cover from PJ Tucker, to run to the bottom corner, and then received a pass from Aldridge and hit the ball with ease.
Although in the end, the referee decided that the goal had stepped on the three-point line.
But it still extended the difference between the two teams to 9 points.
There were a little more than two minutes left in the game.
Judging by the NCAA's 30-second offensive cadence, Stanford's reversal is highly unlikely.
But at this time, Bruce gritted his teeth and cut straight from the top of the three-point line into the Texas Cowboys' restricted area with the Longhorns opening 23 defense...... He used his beautiful ball-handling skills to cut through Gibson's defense like a scalpel and then cut into the free-throw line with great speed, by which time Aldridge had come up to help, and his steps delayed Bruce's attack.
But Bruce tossed him aside with a creative back-turn move, and then jumped up and made a layup!
But at this time, PJ Tucker had already pounced on the cover in time.
At the same time, he blocked the direction of Li Zhen's front pass.
The flanks and rear were also blocked by the experienced Aldridge.
The situation of having a wolf in front and a tiger in the back was formed on the spot, and Li Zhen completely lost the possibility of passing.
And he didn't hesitate at all, and directly met the ...... Burst!
When the two collided in the air, a thick sound sounded like a drumbeat.
Bruce lost his balance on the spot, and he couldn't stop leaning back, but as he leaned back, he still stubbornly threw the basketball out with amazing flexibility, and the force of the force increased his backwards...... Burst!
His back slammed heavily and unprotected against the floor.
The hearts of everyone at San Diego Arena instantly clenched.
It's a pain that hurts even when you look at it.
But as the referee blew the whistle and heard a crisp... Swish!!
Bruce Lee, who fell to the ground, actually stretched out his fist and swung it vigorously: YES!!
Beautiful 2+1!
As Li Zhen was picked up by Scottra, the San Diego Arena resounded with cheers and screams.
"What a tough little guy. Just because he's thin doesn't mean he's not strong enough, and I like that kind of fighter. It is worthy of the man who dares to save Disney's sweetheart in front of the big truck! ”
Kenny Smith was full of praise.
And at this time.
Swish!
The hard-hitting Bruce Lee hit a free throw.
The margin returned to 6 points.
"But do you think he can win with this style of play?" Draft experts once again spoil the atmosphere. He is like an upright straight man, and whenever his partner starts to be lyrical, he exposes the cruel truth.
It's not romantic at all, it's not sentimental at all.
Kenny Smith gave him another blank look. I muttered to myself: What a boring guy.
However, at this time, the two commentators sitting in the live broadcast room did not notice that a beautiful arc suddenly appeared at the corner of Bruce Lee's mouth on the court, and then, uncontrollably, he stuck out his tongue slightly.
Female fans on the sidelines thought it was a cute move.
But Gibson soon found out that Li Zhen, who had just been ruthlessly knocked to the ground by PJ Tucker, was desperate and pounced like a wolf!
