Thirty-three, a great victory
The decision sent all the Chinese crowd boos, and for a moment, it seemed as if the Ravites Stadium had become the home of the Lions.
Li Wu stood at the free throw line and easily put the ball into the basket with a big loose hand from Tangmen, 25-28, and Columbia University only trailed by three points.
Coach Amak called a timeout immediately after Li Wu's successful serve, and off the court, he angrily yelled at Steve: "Damn! You have to calm down now! Calm down! Do you know? Even if you were given a malicious foul on this ball just now, it wouldn't be too much! You've let me down so much! ”
Steve could only keep his head down in the face of Coach Amak's scolding, not daring to say a word.
"That's it! We've got to change our plans! Wesley, you play! Siani came off the pitch and Corbin played in the No. 1 position. Steve, break down, Kenyatta plays! "Coach Amak made adjustments.
On the Lions' bench, Coach Smith was still worn-out about Steve's foul: "This filthy guy! He discredited the Ivy League! ”
"Coach, this is basketball, we have to smile at any decision and keep our fighting spirits high until we win." Li Wu opened his mouth and said.
These words made all the players look at Li Wu with admiration, even Luke, who was a little jealous of Li Wu before, thought that this Chinese's mentality was really surprisingly good, and the person who was maliciously fouled was him, but he was not unhappy, but was still comforting his coach, this kind of demeanor Luke thought that he could not do it in his life.
At this moment, Li Wu weighed a little more in the hearts of the Lions players, and he was no longer a simple bench bandit.
"Yes, you're right, we're going to win!" Coach Smith immediately calmed down, glanced at the Harvard Crimson bench and said, "Listen! Boys, Amak will definitely press Steve to the bench right now, let him calm down, and he'll put Wesley on the court, Lee, I want you to defend Wesley alone, show all your skills! ”
"Okay, Coach!" Li Wu nodded.
"Osette Kowski came off and Voss came on to play the number five. In addition, Cobe was off the field and Cohen played the number three position. Coach Smith continued.
A whistle ~~~~~~~~~~~ "beep" sounded, and the game continued. There are 6 minutes and 40 seconds left until the end of the first half.
Li Wu came on the court around 11 minutes, which means that in about 3 minutes, the Harvard Crimson team was beaten 8-0 by the Lions.
"Wesley Sanders is on the pitch! There's also backup center Kenyatta Smith. The Lions, on their side, replaced Osette Kowski with backup center Voss and Isaac Cohen in place of Jeff Cobe in the No. 3 position. Martin was describing the substitutions for both teams.
"Coach Smith didn't replace Maordo, he was going to use Lee to play against Wesley! There is a lot of difference in height between the two! Allah spoke.
"Yes, Allah, Lee's registered height is 187 centimeters, and Wesley's height is 196 centimeters. The difference between the two is ten centimeters, but I think Lee can defend against Wesley, and this Chinese kid is definitely the first in the Ivy League in terms of defensive ability. ”
At this point, Cobin dribbled across half court and handed the ball to Wesley, who took the ball and motioned for all the players to pull away and he was going to play singles.
Coach Amak did not emphasize the play during the timeout, and in this case, as the boss of the team, he has the right to dominate the ball.
Now he wants to use his height to single-handedly beat Li Wu.
"Oh! No, no, no~ it's not the best option! Lee's athleticism makes him even more suffocating when defending the perimeter than when defending the interior, and Wesley's choice is irrational! Martin said when he saw Wesley pull his teammates away.
The facts also proved his judgment, Wesley made a few cross-handed dribbles in front of Li Wu, and then stepped towards the left, Li Wu immediately leaned in this direction, Wesley was overjoyed, and then dribbled to the right to cut in.
Killer crossover.
It has to be said that Wesley's killer crossover is much sharper than Kyle's, but... For Li Wu, it was of little use.
As Wesley prepares to make a layup, he realizes that the ball in his hand is gone!
The next moment, Li Wu had already thrown the ball to Cohen, who was running wildly along the sideline, and soon, Cohen completed his first violent dunk after coming on the court.
27-28. The Lions trailed by just one point.
"Top ball poachers! What a great guy! Martin couldn't help but admire after seeing Li Wu's steal.
"The Harvard Crimson team is finished, even if they are still one point ahead, look at the current backup center Kenyata, his height is only 203 cm, even after relying on the transfer and transposition, it is impossible to form an absolute dislocation advantage, as for the small fight, as long as the inside is standing in the paint area, the small players of the Crimson team can only choose to shoot, the success rate of breaking through the layup is too low, as for shooting, the shooting rate is definitely not as high as the layup. And now that Wesley is on the court, he can't get past Lee's defense, and the Crimson team is out of options. "Allah saw the ball and immediately qualified the game.
And the fact is also the same, although the Crimson team still has a one-point lead, but Wesley, who was given high hopes, has done nothing under Li Wu's defense, and in terms of rebounding control, the 216 cm Voss has more advantages than the Crimson team's Kenyata, resulting in the Crimson team rarely get 2 offensive opportunities after the attack is fruitless.
Although power forward Jonathan used his dexterity to break through Luke and hit a few balls, it could not help the Crimson team maintain the lead, Li Wu repeatedly used the front cross dribble, the front V dribble after the feints to get the opportunity to shoot, and each shot was blocked by teammates and then faced the opponent's tall backup center Kenyata.
Kenyata's defensive ability was far inferior to Steve's, resulting in Li Wu scoring four consecutive three-pointers in the final 6 minutes, plus the previous score, Li Wu scored 5 three-pointers plus a 2 plus 1 in the entire first half, for a total of 18 points, plus a block and a steal.
This dominant performance allowed the Colombian Lions to lead by 8 points at halftime at 45-38, and in the second half, Steve and Siani returned to the court and formed a linkage with Wesley, but under Li Wu's strong lateral movement ability and interior defense, the cooperation of the three also had a big problem, not only allowing Li Wu to get 3 steals and two blocks again, but also giving Li Wu 3 assists, and allowing Li Wu to score 6 points again, 5 minutes into the second half, The Crimson team is already with the Lions leading by fifteen points at 60-45.
In the 8th minute of the second half, Wesley, the top scorer who was defended by Li Wu and doubted his life, came off the court to rest, Coach Smith immediately replaced Maodore, and the game completely lost suspense, Wesley was not on the field, no one could resist Maodore's scoring ability, and Li Wu also played the No. 1 position for 5 minutes after Maodore came on the field, which opened up a lot of space for Maodore, so that he swept away the decline and began to score happily.
In the end, the game ended with a big victory of 82-65 for the Lions, and Li Wu did not succeed in breaking through one person from beginning to end of the game, but everyone firmly believed that Li Wu's dribbling ability was very powerful! After all, his pull-up jump shot is very vigorous.
