Chapter 107: 107, enter the quarterfinals
At the beginning of the second half, Saville's possession, the ball just after half, passed to Rubin's hands, according to the usual method, Rubin rushed to the inside.
Cheng Lei's task is to stop him, in fact, when Cheng Lei comes, Rubin's biggest threat is not to break through into the inside line, but to break through into the ball, which is the most troublesome.
Cheng Lei can only prevent him from breaking through to score, but if he wants to pass the ball and break the ball, it is almost impossible.
Fortunately, now, for Savile's three outside firepower points, a half-court marking tactic has been adopted, and the three of North Carolina are firmly staring at them and not letting the three run out of the empty space.
Cheng Lei was close to Rubin, and the sound of the two muscles colliding was heard in the audience.
Rubin never felt that it was so difficult to break through, under Cheng Lei's defense, he was far away, and when he was one step away from the free throw line, he wanted to go inside, and there was no way to be blocked by Cheng Lei.
After jumping high, Rubin was ready to find his teammates on the perimeter, but none of the three shooters on the outside did not run out of a good position, and at this time, the ball was passed out and the probability of being cut off was high.
There was no way, he could only be strong, and his body leaned slightly in the direction of Cheng Lei, as long as he stuck to Cheng Lei, Rubin was sure that he could make a foul on Cheng Lei.
Seeing Rubin jumping up, Cheng Lei smiled, this guy is looking for his own death, if he doesn't jump up, he may be able to find another way, jump up, there is no passing route, then he can only shoot.
Cheng Lei simply took a step back, Rubin was dumbfounded, he never thought that Cheng Lei would come to such a hand.
Trying to control his balance in the air, he threw the ball towards the basket.
Cheng Lei jumped high, a volleyball-style hat, and slapped the ball out.
The scene was boiling, and Cheng Lei's signature hot pot made the scene keep shouting his name.
Coach Roy clenched his fists excitedly.
"Attack!" Cheng Lei shouted.
Hicks took the lead and rushed towards the ball, got the autumn queen, and went straight to the basket, followed by a one-handed tomahawk dunk.
In the following time, North Carolina showed its strong defensive ability, and Savis, who was hard to defend, had no way at all, completely cutting off the connection between Rubin and the outside line.
Rubin looked a little flustered, and after being attacked by Cheng Lei a few times in a row, he was a little delirious and became a little shrunken, even when he had the opportunity, he became a little hesitant to shoot.
The offense can't work, they can only hope for defense, as long as Saville can defend North Carolina, then it's not a big problem, but after Cheng Lei's slow two three-pointers, the score suddenly overtook them, and they realized that Cheng Lei would shoot three points in addition to defense.
Although the three-point shot is very slow, the accuracy is still very good.
Savis hurriedly called a timeout and rearranged the tactics, now, Cheng Lei can't let go of this, let Rubin pay attention to Cheng Lei's three points, this Cheng Lei should be very much like Bowen of the Spurs back then, first-class defense, and good three-point ability, as for the rest, it should be very average.
After returning from the pause, Rubin adopted a defensive way of preventing sudden breakouts, always keeping a step away from Cheng Lei, and could block Cheng Lei's shot at any time.
North Carolina didn't seem to know Saville's intentions, or passed the ball to Cheng Lei's hands, and the other teammates seemed to trust Cheng Lei very much, and when they saw Cheng Lei taking the ball, there was no one who came up to answer.
After Cheng Lei dribbled the ball a few times, his wrists began to rise, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and his legs bent slightly.
When he saw Cheng Lei raise one hand, he decisively blocked it in front of him.
Cheng Lei smiled slightly, returned the ball left and right, lowered the center of gravity, took a side step, and directly passed Rubin cleanly, opened his hand, and after a pause, it was another decomposed three points.
The body is very good, but the brain is not enough, this is Cheng Lei's evaluation of Rubin, it was just a feint, and he deceived Rubin, and the defense was really too bad.
Savile serves, and now they don't have any good ways to score, and after the inside line is pinned, it becomes extremely difficult to score.
After the ball fell multiple times on the outside, the time was slowly passing, and as the twenty-four seconds were almost over, pitcher Lewis pulled up and made a strong shot through Hicks' defense.
Collided with Hicks of the cap.
Toot toot...
The whistle blows, Hicks defends the foul!
Lewis twisted his body, but still threw the ball, and his luck was surprisingly good, he actually bounced on the front of the basket, bounced to the back of the rebound, and then fell into the basket again.
Cheng Lei can not only shoot, he can also pass the ball, the next attack, Cheng Lei made a few feints, waved his hand, and passed the ball to Hicks who cut in empty.
Hicks easily licked the basket in equal parts.
Throughout the second half, Savile was pressed by North Carolina, and the three-point shooter on the outside was completely unable to find a good opportunity to shoot under the kraft candy-style defense.
As for Rubin, the breakthrough player who has been relying on him, under Cheng Lei's defense, he was completely lost.
Fortunately, Savile was lucky, and the balloon was thrown in several times to keep the game from ending early, and at this point, Cheng Lei also had to thank Savile for raising his caps to nine, and there was still one short of completing the task.
Seeing that the game was about to end, Cheng Lei made an amazing feat, facing Lewis who shot again, Cheng Lei rushed over quickly and jumped high through Hicks.
The general will be good, and he has been leaning his fingers against the ball and pulling the ball out of the way.
Coincidentally, the ball actually fell into the hands of the unguarded Rubin, and the happiness came so suddenly that Rubin couldn't believe it, and threw the ball into it with a jump shot.
My day, I actually let the guy pick it up.
Although Cheng Lei was unhappy with Rubin's goal, he was still a cap after all.
Sure enough, with a ding, the task was completed.
Cheng Lei was so happy, he was lucky to have shit today, many blocks, all when Rubin made a mistake in his busyness, if the opposite side was not this kind of one-tendon opponent, Cheng Lei decided that it would be difficult for him to complete the feat of ten blocks.
At the end of the game, Beikai won the game 76:70.
Cheng Lei scored fifteen points, ten points of block, and two pairs of alternatives.
The next day, the news was full of information about the cap maniac Cheng Lei, and the newspapers called Cheng Lei a cap idiot!
"Ray, you seem to be famous!" Jackson said.
Outside the training venue, there were many people with equipment one after another, constantly capturing the players training in the stadium.
Not surprisingly, these people are all running for Cheng Lei.
Coach Roy's office is also very lively today, and it has received several groups of people.
Among them, there are actually several NBA scouts, all of whom have taken a fancy to Cheng Lei's defensive ability, and there are many NCAA players with good offense, but there are not many who have good defense.
Cheng Lei is like a rare item that has attracted the attention of many people.
PS: Which NBA team do you want Cheng Lei to join? You can leave a message to let me know! The NCAA is just a transition, and it's coming to an end!
