Coach Smith thought for a moment after speaking, and then said: "Franksky, from now on, you play the No. 1 position, Maodore, you play the No. 3 position, Osetkowski is off, Voss plays the No. 5 position, and Chris replaces Luke in the No. 4 position." ”

Compared to the Lions' bench, the Kentucky bench was a bit chaotic, and Coach Calipari stared at Towns and Booker and said, "I hope you guys can step up and take the game!" ”

Downs and Booker both bowed their heads and were silent, and a man in a suit standing in the first row of the audience suddenly shouted, "Hey, no one can force my nephew to go up!" Don't you see his knees shaking? He's the guy who's going to get into the NBA! ”

Another man in a suit also shouted, "That's right! My nephew isn't fit to play right now! It's ridiculous that you have such a good player and you can't win an Ivy League team, and you're still forcing a freshman rookie player to come on the court and stand up! ”

One of these two is Downs' uncle and the other is Booker's uncle, as parents, they have custody, in fact, for Downs and Booker, who are proud of the sky, playing NCAA this year is a great loss, first, there is no money, and second, they can't take the contract, if it weren't for the damn NBA league to change the rules, geniuses wouldn't go to the NCAA to play in a league like that for others to work for nothing.

In the eyes of Downs and Booker's parents, their children have performed well enough this season that there is no need to risk closing the house to stand up and close the game, losing is losing, and Kentucky has made history this season anyway, and they will only get one defeat.

Calipari's face turned green with anger, and he no longer paid attention to the two men in suits, but just looked at Downs and Booker, who he hoped the two young men would make their own decisions.

"Sir, I've played 15 minutes, my average playing time this season is about 21 minutes, and today, I'm willing to play another 8 minutes, I mean, I'm going to give it my all, but it's only eight minutes." Downs knew what was most important, but he still wanted a win, so he made concessions to his coach.

"Sir, I'm the same as Downs, I'm willing to play for another eight minutes." Booker also said.

"Good! That's 8 minutes, and now, I want you to play! Downs, you're going to use all your strength to blow up your opposing players, Cauley Stein, I want you to get back to the paint as soon as Lee has the ball, fill it up, and don't let Lee get room to show his cunning footsteps! Booker replaces Aaron on the court, and I want you to continue to consume Lee on both offensive and defensive ends! "Calipari was straightforward with the tactics.

The "~~~~~~~~~~" whistle sounded, the game continued, Downs and Booker played again, and the Lions' inside persuasion was replaced by Voss and Chris, such a matchup situation directly led to Downs scoring 8 points in the last two minutes, and Li Wu was difficult to find an opportunity to impact the basket because of Kentucky's tactical adjustments, except for a 2+1 game, he could only divide the ball, but except for Maodore's shot, no one else scored.

As a result, Kentucky overpowered the Lions with an 8-6 score in the final two minutes, and at halftime, the score stayed at 53-44, and Kentucky's lead remained at nine points.

At halftime, the players from both sides returned to the locker room, and Coach Smith planned to replace the starters, but was strongly opposed by Li Wu, who instead insisted on replacing Maodore and letting him rest, and Li Wu himself played with four substitutes.

"If, according to you, any position in Kentucky can blow up our players in any position other than yours, their scores will keep rising!" Coach Smith blushed and said to Li Wu, if it weren't for the fact that Li Wu is now a necessary condition for him to make history, I'm afraid he would have roared at this Chinese.

"Coach! Please rest assured, I bet that Downs and Booker won't be on the court for more than 10 minutes, they will definitely be off the court, because they can't stand the consumption, I saw the man in the suit in the audience talking to the two all the time, it must be their family or the agent team! As long as these two are gone, even if we are 15 points apart, I am still confident that we can recover in 10 minutes! If only in the last ten minutes, I want my starting team-mates to have enough energy! Li Wu argued.

This process was all filmed by Abby, who had just entered the locker room.

Coach Smith calmed down after his chest rose and fell for a while, and said: "But even with the bench, Franksky can't get off the court, he is the most accurate three-point player on our team besides you and Maodore, you need him to shoot threes!" ”

"That's right, sir, Franksky can continue to play the No. 1 position." Li Wu said.

"Okay, according to you, does Kyle still want to play? He is the most penetrating player on the bench. Coach Smith asked.

'He's got to play, and he's the only player who has a chance to cut under the basket when he's open. Li Wu said. 、

"That's the question, where does Kyle play? He's playing at the back, you play the number 2 position, Franksky plays the number 1 position, what about him? Playing the No. 3 position? Just his small body? Can you stop the 208cm Lyles or the 203cm Alex Perisrys? I bet Kyle will be crushed by them in this position! Coach Smith said.

The Lions players were dumbfounded, they thought their coach and the team leader had a quarrel, but they didn't expect to end up discussing tactics together, this kind of thing can happen in the NBA, but it is absolutely rare in the NCAA where all students are students.

"Sir, I can play the number 3 position! Kyle plays the No. 2 position and lets him defend Booker, although Booker is taller than him, but his mobility ability is not as good as Kyle, and Booker plays a lot of time, as long as Kyle tightens up, he won't score many points. Li Wu said calmly.

"You play small forward? You're going to defend Lyles? Are you serious? He's 21 centimeters taller than you, and even the substitute Alex is 16 centimeters taller than you. And while your reach is good, it's definitely above you. Coach Smith said.

"Rest assured, sir, I may not be able to block a layup from the second floor, but I can definitely interfere with a shot from the second floor with my bounce, even if he is taller than me. And I promise, he can't get the ball out of me, not even once. When Li Wu said this, he showed full confidence and an unquestioning attitude.

After a brief silence in the locker room, Coach Smith nodded: "Good! Just do as you say! ”
