107. Who else can I be
Coach K's face was not happy or angry, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, he just held the tactical board and pointed and talked.
Coach Smith asked Li Wu: "Lee, can you replace the substitute players to play for 8 minutes now, and then let the starters play, I think the boys are tired." ”
Li Wu nodded and said, "Okay." ”
In fact, Li Wu always felt that Lao K had ideas, but he didn't know what he was thinking. Now it can only be blocked by soldiers, and the water will be covered.
~~~~~~~~~~~When the whistle blew in the second half, the Blue Devils and Lions both made major personnel changes.
The Blues made three substitutions, with Okafor coming on for Plumlee, Winslow for Matt Jones and Amir for Semi Ogger.
Cook and Jones, the two starting defenders, remained on the pitch to form the Blue Devils' backcourt duo.
And Li Wu was on the field with four substitutes.
In the second half, the Lions first attacked with the ball, point guard Kyle brought the ball to the halfcourt and passed it to Li Wu, Li Wu was immediately replaced by Winslow Matt and Ogie instead of Mommy to defend in the high position, these two guys are 196cm and 203cm, although the height is shorter than Winslow and Amir, but the coverage is still very wide, enough for Li Wu to break through the encirclement.
So Li Wu repeated his old trick and passed the ball to the empty power forward Chris.
Chris learned from Luke to make an open mid-range shot, but the basketball was iron-hitting, and then Li Wu realized a problem: Chris's shooting rate was not even 40%, and the mid-range shot was even worse, and the original tactics were no longer working.
Lao K left the two guns in the backcourt on the field just to spend the substitute lineup I led!
Li Wu figured out the tactics of Coach K, Jones and Cook scored another goal with a pick-and-roll, and the Blue Devils led by one point at 50-49.
"Hey! It seems that Coach K still has an idea! Use your own backcourt double guns to blow up the opponent's bench. O'Neill said.
Barkley showed a different view: "Shaq, the Lions were just caught off guard in that round, and I can guarantee that in the next round, Lee will definitely defend one of Cook and Jones, and it will not be easy to fully play the backcourt double shots." ”
At this point, the Lions were attacking, and Li Wu made a gesture to Chris while receiving the ball, and then passed the ball to Chris again when he was facing the trap.
Chris received the ball and then dribbled to the basket from the short corner, and the Blue Devils substitute Plumlee, who was standing inside, could only run to the side of the reasonable collision zone to block, and the backup center Voss had taken a step back and distanced himself from Plumlee, and Chris immediately passed the ball to Voss.
After receiving the ball, Voss was about to raise his hand to make an easy hook shot, but he found that a black guy appeared in front of him, this guy raised his arms high, pressed against him, and his body kept squeezing himself.
Voss's tonnage is not as good as Ossetkovski, and he actually took a step back under the pressure of the opponent, and was immediately blown away by the referee, completely killing the Lions' offensive opportunities.
"Aha! Ogie come! The only guy who can use the Blue Devils bench! Coach K is really a magical coach! O'Neal immediately laughed when he saw that the man who was guarding Voss was the backup power forward Ogje.
"That's right, Aojielai, who is 203cm tall and weighs 104 kilograms, can actually walk up to Voss, who weighs 113 kilograms! Haha, I hadn't paid attention to this young man's defensive ability before, and he only averaged 3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game in 10 minutes. Barkley said.
O'Neill continued to praise: "I have to say that this is a very smart approach, although Ojielai's weight is not as good as Voss, but his height is 13 cm shorter than Voss, so the strength of his lower limbs still has a certain advantage." The Lions actually wanted to use Chris to attack the basket from the short corner area to attack Plumlee's defense and then pass the ball to Voss who was ambushed in the paint area, but Ogie had enough time to return to the basket after wrapping Lee, and used his lower limb advantage to defend Voss, Voss's summary ability was not very good, and after being far away from the basket and someone defending it, the shooting rate would naturally decrease. ”
Murphy, who has the ability to shoot in the middle, can also join the discussion between the two at this time: "The success of Mr. K's tactic needs three elements, first, that is, the Lions' empty No. 4 position Chris does not have the ability to shoot and finish, second, the Lions' No. 5 position will lose the finishing ability of high shots after leaving the basket even one meter, and third, the Blue Devils need a fast-moving, strong, and well-defended forward player." ”
"That's right, it's all there. So the game isn't over yet. Barkley said.
When the Blue Devils executed the offense, Li Wu had already switched positions with the substitute small forward Jeff to mark them to divide Cook, and seeing Li Wu to defend himself, Cook immediately distributed the ball to Matt, who was only 196cm tall, and Mat, who was only 196cm tall, cut off his defense and killed the basket with a crossover directly in the face of Jeff, who was 203cm tall.
Facing Voss's defense, an easy slowdown throw was made to score the ball.
52-49, the Blue Devils took a three-point lead.
The Blue Devils fans, who had been silent for half the game, suddenly erupted in a tsunami of cheers, and O'Neill said in the cheers: "This is the old K!" This is Coach K! You see, Matt! He was born to play guard, as the sixth man of the Blue Devils, he can only get 6.1 points, 2.3 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 21 minutes, but he has skillful dribbling skills, maybe he can't play at all in the face of other excellent interior lines, but in the face of Ivy League bench level defense, he can do anything! I mean, Jeff and Vos have absolutely no way to take him! And Lee is going to defend Cook again, and it looks like the Blue Devils are going to turn on their scoring mode! ”
Barkley said: "The Lions need someone to step up at this point, and I don't need to say it, I think you know who it's time to step up. ”
The words reached the ears of everyone watching the game through the commentary room, and at the same time, the camera turned to Li Wu's location, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
In fact, Li Wu also understands that this is the time to give up who else, his teammates are watching him, these Ivy League substitute players can't stop the tactics of Lao K and the not too strong Blue Devils bench players, and they need hero balls at this time.
So Li Wu made a gesture towards Kyle, point guard Kyle reflexively ran towards the frontcourt, and Voss sent the ball to Li Wu on the baseline.
