0023: [Let me do it!] 】
Swish!
Bang!
Li Zhen walked to the free throw line to execute a technical foul and hit one of the two free throws. The sudden increase in the palm of his hand has improved his ball control, change of direction, and layup skills a lot. But for the shooting touch, it was a huge disruption, and he had to re-adapt.
Fortunately, after the second penalty was missed, it was still Stanford's possession.
Li Zhen received the basketball from the top of the three-point arc, and when he dribbled, he could clearly feel his body be a little more flexible.
On the one hand, he was happy about it, and on the other hand, he was frustrated: how bad my agility was. Does agility feel so obvious when you only add 4 points?
Brooks came up again.
And as he greeted him, Li Zhen quickly changed direction to the left, and as he pounced on his left side, he deftly turned his back and spun away, leaving Brooks' defense directly behind: although the ball was a bit of a surprise, and Brooks's defense was already terrible. But... The 4 points of agility do have an immediate effect.
After shaking off Brooks, he quickly went deep into the box.
Oregon's new backup striker Tinsley rushed to fill in, and the big man who caused an uproar on Stanford campus was an extremely sluggish forward.
Therefore, Li Zhencai had just stopped in front of him, and his figure couldn't help but shake a little.
And when Li Zhen is fast crossover, and from left to right, flashes away.
His ankle was a little knotted at that time, and as he tried hard to pursue, he suddenly fell to the ground with a pop due to the uneven force up and down.
The embarrassed Tinsley made the whole court boil again, and broke out the biggest noise of the whole game.
In the overwhelming sound, Li Zhen easily made a layup.
The DJ immediately shouted out the name of Stanford's biggest hero in the game: Bruce...
And before he could finish speaking, the audience of more than 6,000 people had already echoed in unison: Leeeeeee!!
It's the kind of sound that only superstars have.
And when Time Warner's cameras caught the superstar, he had a visibly shy smile on his face.
"This is the Chinese, they are by nature. They are shy and introspective in the face of overwhelming praise. "But when it's time for them to step up, there's an incredible burst of energy in them. My teacher used to talk to me about the theory of 'water' and I think Bruce Lee on the pitch is that type of player who can be as quiet as water, as gentle as water. But it can also suddenly burst on, suddenly pour! ”
Abdul-Jabbar spoke, a little farther away.
It's all up to charisma.
Jonny Worthen, who was sitting next to him, looked up and sighed helplessly, what about the original plan to promote Oregon? How did it suddenly become Bruce Lee's fancy tout?
Co-author... All those sponsorships from Nike went to Bruce Lee?
He was depressed.
And at the same time that he was depressed, Brooks also became depressed.
After returning to half-time, he suddenly found that he could not easily get past Li Zhen's defense as easily as before. This guy seems to have suddenly opened his mind, although it feels like he is still struggling to keep up with him, but his lateral movement speed is much faster than before... It made him very sad.
Finally, choose to force a jump shot.
Bang!
Basketball hits iron.
Fortunately, Marrick Hairston rushed to the basket and beat Frank Benson to score the basketball.
Hairston also turned sideways after the goal and told Brooks, "Next, I'm going to defend him." ”
Now that the game time is getting shorter and smaller, the team's important interior core Mattilionin has been sent off again. Helmston and Coach Ultraman both thought that they couldn't go on like this, so Hairston took the initiative to apply for a change of defense, and he decided to strangle Li Zhen to death from the source.
Hairston's defensive ability is indeed superior to Brooks.
The physical confrontation ability is also superior.
But the regrettable thing is: Li Zhen didn't go head-to-head with him at all, and he quickly called Scott to block and pick up when he arrived in the front court with the ball.
This kind of big defense is small, and the countermeasure is one word: suddenly.
After Oregon was without Martilennen, the interior defense was sharply reduced.
Although there is center Skinner in the penalty area, Li Zhen is not a score-oriented player.
He can help the team with his passes, with Thomson, who was replaced by Brooks, the biggest winner, and Scott, who also received Lee Zhen's passes and went straight to the penalty area on several occasions.
Looking back, Oregon's two supercores are indeed rare talents.
Despite Bruce's best attempts to spur Brooks into single-minded singles mode.
But in the final minutes of the game, Hairston completely took over possession. He struggled with Thomson's defense on the wing, and Brooks occasionally scored with individual shots.
So, despite Stanford's efficient play-and-match lead by six points three minutes before the end of the game. Soon, however, the stars of Oregon relented, and they took advantage of Stanford's lack of attackers with the ball and continued to eat away at the lead.
With 21 seconds left in the game, Brooks hit a harder 3-pointer from beyond the three-point line as Brooks passed Hairston's cover.
78:77。
Oregon overtook by 1 point.
This caused the entire arena to fall into a deathly silence.
Worthon excitedly shouted Long live Brooks in the live broadcast room!!
"The great Aaron Brooks saved the University of Oregon, and now they are ahead. Barring no surprises, they will continue to lead. Stanford's roster flaws are already obvious, they don't have an attacker with the ball, and the No. 10 point guard is very proficient in assists, but his scoring ability is worrying. Moreover, his body was already exhausted, and it was obvious that he was physically exhausted. ”
"There is no suspense anymore. Oregon will take this win and make great strides towards the tournament. They will be the most legendary team in the Pacific region this season, and they have come back to make it to the tournament after two key players were absent and did not win a single game between mid-December and the end of January last year! ”
Worthen was excited, even more excited than the bench in Oregon.
At this time, Abdul-Jabbar pursed his lips slightly. He glanced at Li Zhen's statistics tonight: 15 points, 18 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers, and a beautiful answer.
If you can do one more lore, it will be perfect.
He thought to himself.
Meanwhile, there was silence on the Stanford bench.
They're facing the problem of one last offense: the lore has always been the work of superstars.
But the problem now is that Stanford doesn't have a superstar.
Bruce has the ball, but his aggression is very weak and his fitness has reached a critical point.
Although the other players have the ability to shoot, but the ability to hold the ball is worrying, and if they are tackled, it is simply over.
The most important thing: whoever throws the last ball is the rhythm of the back.
Everyone knows the mood of the Stanford fans, who were too stimulated before the game to accept this defeat at home. In the event of a failure, the pressure of the entire campus will rush towards you in an instant.
So, everyone was looking at each other and maintaining the highest degree of silence. Waiting for Coach Jamilin's arrangement.
"Let me do it."
Li Zhen, who was sitting on the bench with his head down and sluggish for a long time, suddenly raised his head, his eyes were extremely firm.
He looked at Coach Jemilin, who was obviously suspicious and worried, and said 'strongly': "I am the biggest contributor to this game, I dragged the game to the countdown stage, and it should be me who executes the last attack!" ”
Jemilin knew that Li Zhen was not a domineering person, and he said this just to give everyone a step down.
But out of selfishness, he really didn't want Li Zhen to carry out this last attack. Based on Lee's performances in the past two games, he can stay at Stanford next season. But if he misses the last ball, there could be a twist.
After all, the results of the three identities of the team hero, the team hero, and the team criminal are completely different. If the lore is successful, he is a superhero, and there is certainly no problem staying in the team, but the probability is really too small. And he didn't execute this stunner, he was still the hero of the team, as he said, he took the game to the countdown, he was not harsh, and people would even praise him for his wonderful shots, and there was great hope that he would stay. And if the lore fails, the blind and angry students will forget his previous credits, take their anger out on him, and treat him as a culprit, at this time, it will be too difficult for him to get Coach McHaney to retract what he said in public.
However, Li Zhen's eyes were so resolute: it even reminded Jamilin of an ancient poem that 'the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone',
After all, after much hesitation, Coach Jemilin still nodded.
All right.
