Booker looked like the old man, and immediately carried out high-post close defense when Li Wu did not enter the three-point line, this time Li Wu did not give Booker a chance to stick, but used his footsteps to dribble to the left, and then quickly turned to the right to dribble, using the fast loop step on the side of the running cylinder to expose the weakness of Booker's slow lateral movement, and threw off Booker's jump shot at the edge of the three-point line.

This time Lyles didn't have time to make up for it, so Li Wu made another three-pointer.

9-6, the Lions once again led by one point.

"It seems that Lee, who is slow to hold the ball, is no worse than a defender in dribbling! His turn dribble is very steady, and the arc of the left and right turns is so large, but he completed it quickly, which shows that his steps are dexterous, with his explosiveness and jumping power, if he can maintain his balance without slowing down when holding the ball, he is the champion this year. O'Neill said after seeing Li Wu's score.

"Yes, I agree with you, this kid is not bad at holding the ball, in fact, you say that he is slow, he is also relative, I think his speed with the ball is not worse than people like Dragic, but it doesn't match his speed." Barkley said objectively.

"Hey! Lyles, bag clip! High Bag Clip! Don't let Lee score any more points! Calipari shouted from the sidelines.

After Kentucky's guard Andrew used Towns' block to cut into the basket to score, Li Wu was caught by Lyles and Booker in the next round, these two guys are 208cm and 198cm, and when they open their arms and surround them, they are simply covering the sky, and Li Wu has no choice but to throw the ball to Cohen, who was empty.

Cohen glanced at Downs on the inside and could only take a three-point shot.

"Kuang!" Unsurprisingly, Cohen's first open shot hit the grid.

Downs grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed to Andrew, and Kentucky began to counterattack. Andrew immediately advanced at high speed after holding the ball, took Maodore's defense to the paint area and then distributed the ball to Lyles, who was 208cm Lyles with long legs and praised Cohen, who was 16 cm shorter than him, and easily made a successful layup.

"It is unwise for the Lions to use three-point shooting tactics at this time, although Andrew has checked a little more than those excellent guards, but his speed is advantageous to Maodore, as long as Kentucky controls the backcourt rebounds, he can use Andrew's ball-holding speed to play DDM tactics, this tactic is too expensive for the Lions, after all, Kentucky has the best bench players in the entire NCAA." O'Neill said.

DDM is a dribbling offensive tactic that uses the speed of a defender to bring up the rhythm of the attack, and Calipari used this tactic to play a whirlwind offensive pace during his years at the University of Memphis, and his proudest work that year was of course the Windy City Rose Derrick Rose.

Compared with the bench in Kentucky, Columbia's nine-man rotation is very cramped, and the quality of the bench is not high, which means that Columbia's starters have to play longer, and if the opponent plays DDM tactics, it means that the number of rounds will increase, so that the physical consumption is an important test for Columbia University.

Now everyone in the Lions will be pressed by Downs and Cauley Stein, although it is impossible to hit the basket every time it is unsuccessful, but after being blocked too much, the mentality will inevitably be affected, Li Wu understands that his teammates are actually still nervous, although he has done his work before the game.

After getting the ball again, Li Wu still threw the ball to Cohen, who was let go, and then used his body to quickly drag Lyles and Booker to run behind Cohen, and he came to a hand-to-hand cooperation, but when he wanted to shoot, he found that Kentucky's guard Andrew appeared in front of him, Li Wu didn't think about it, and threw the ball directly to Maodore.

Maordo got up and made a three-point shot, and the "Kuang" shot again, Downs grabbed the rebound and handed it to Booker, who had already begun to go down, and Kentucky made a quick break.

In the time that followed, Kentucky's DDM tactics played to the fullest, fortunately, the Lions' side of the empty three-point team is not a single can not score, generally the opponent into three DDM after the Lions can basically shoot an empty three-point, especially after 10 minutes, Maodore gradually found his touch, the accuracy has risen a lot, as long as it is empty, basically two shots can score one.

Therefore, Kentucky and the Lions opened the mutual explosion mode, Kentucky's DDM is fast and has a high success rate, and the Lions' three-point shots appear very quickly because of Li Wu's entrapment, and there are many shots, although the success rate is low, but as soon as you enter, you get three points, so although Kentucky's DDM tactics are unstoppable, they have not been able to pull the score too far.

By the fifteen-minute timeout, Kentucky had a 13-point lead at 42-29.

Among them, Downs scored 18 points and Maodore scored 15 points, becoming the scoring champions of both teams, but Downs's shooting percentage was much higher than that of Maodore.

At this time, on the bench of the Lions, Coach Smith couldn't help but say to Li Wu: "Li, I don't understand why you want the team to make such a choice, you need to stand up to bite the score at this time." Just like against Arizona and Wisconsin, don't wait for any absolute chances, you're the number one star, you have unlimited firing rights, and you're going to put pressure on them! Like Kobe Bryant of the Lakers and LeBron of the Cavaliers, you know? ”

"Mr. coach, don't worry, we will win this game, I think this game is much better than the previous ones." Li Wu glanced at the bench seat in Kentucky and found that several guys in suits behind the bench were shouting at the bench seat, and Downs and Booker both glanced back in that direction.

"What? Is Kentucka Kibi Arizona and Wisconsin easy to fight? No, no, no, Lee, although their stats are not outstanding, it's because they don't play a lot, and their bench ..... "Coach Smith is a bit of a gaffe now, after all, in the face of the opportunity to make history, a person who has never touched top honors tends not to be so calm, if before, he wouldn't be like that.

"Soon... We'll be able to learn about their bench, and I bet both Towns and Booker will be off the court after the timeout. Li Wu said bluntly.

"What's going on? Although Booker only scored 6 points, he has completely locked up your ability to help defend with the power of one person, and Towns is feeling right now, why would they go down? "Coach Smith didn't think that was going to happen.

Li Wu shook his head in his heart, Coach Smith is a pure basketball coach, and he never considers off-court factors. So he patiently explained: "Osetkovsky and I have been deliberately looking for physical confrontation in the past fifteen minutes, whether it is on the offensive and defensive ends or grabbing rebounds, we are all playing very tough, Downs and Booker, the two proud sons of the sky, were favored in high school, and entering college to play is nothing more than because high school students cannot directly participate in the draft, and now this kind of physical confrontation is bound to be in danger of injury, even if they want to play, their agent team will not agree!" ”

After a pause, Li Wu continued: "This is our chance to win. ”
