Ninety-eight, overtake

Downs did not play again after Booker went off, and the power of Aaron on the offensive end of the bench was completely incomparable to Booker, and because of the start player, Li Wu returned to the No. 2 position again, facing Aaron, his defense was more dominant, so that Aaron did not score a point in the following time.

As the starting point guard of Kentucky, Andrew has long seen the dilemma of his twin brother, but he has nothing to do about it, the two of them have been playing on the same team since they were in school, and they are full of tacit understanding, especially in high school, they are very powerful backcourt double guns, and they can often give each other beautiful assists.

But Li Wu has almost completely cut off their connection now, and Aaron's attempts to run are completely useless in front of Li Wu, whether it is Cauley Stein or Dakari's blocking, under Li Wu's full pursuit, they are all useless, and Li Wu only needs two steps to keep up with Aaron after throwing off these blocks, so Aaron has been restricted. 、

And center Darkari's strong confrontation against Ossetkowski is not as eye-catching as Downs, although he can also score, but not like Downs can score every ball, and guard Andrew and small forward Lyles are also difficult to achieve under the Lions' starters high confrontation defense, and the last to stand up is Willie Cowley-Stein, a college junior with the highest prediction pick at the University of Kentucky in addition to Downs.

Cauley Stein has been playing in Kentucky for three years, and with his first year off the bench for Nolens Knoll with 8.3 points and 6.2 rebounds and a Southwest Division Rookie of the Year, he could have entered the draft in 2012, but he didn't, and chose to continue to play in the NCAA, which is enough to show his dedication to the NCAA championship.

So when Downs and Booker were both off, he became the last Kentucky to rely on.

Cowley Stein, who is 213cm tall and weighs 108 kilograms, has made several singles successes against Luke, who is only 208 centimeters tall and weighs only 97 kilograms.

However, Cowley Stein scored every ball after being forced into the paint area, and the Lions relied on Li Wu's offense to score every three-pointer, so although Cowley Stein continued to succeed in singles, there was still no way to stop the Lions' score from approaching.

After four offensive and defensive rounds, Kentucky led by six points at 80-74 with eight minutes remaining.

O'Neal in the commentary room shook his head again and again when he saw this situation: "Although Cauley Stein can beat Luke, but every single such a status requires a lot of physical strength, for this big man, physical exertion is a severe test, and Lee has proven himself to be an extremely physical player in the previous game, so the Lions may have the last laugh in this game." ”

"Yes, man, you're right, Cauley Stein is a pick-and-roll guy who likes to play on the basket, he hasn't developed a 3-pointer in three years in Kentucky, and unfortunately he doesn't have the physicality of yours, so I agree with you, to be specific, maybe it will take another five minutes for the Lions to overtake."

The comeback was quicker than Barkley had predicted, and when Cowley Stein got the ball in the elbow zone, Li Wu directly let go of Aaron's defense, rushed over to wrap him up with Luke, and Cowley Stein immediately threw the ball to Aaron who was standing on the flank, and Aaron got up and jumped.

It's a pity that Aaron is not Booker, the basketball pops out of the frame, Osette Kowski uses his body to resist Dakari, so that the opponent can't jump, at the same time, Li Wu also uses his body to resist and Cauley Stein, Luke stepped forward and easily grabbed the rebound, and handed the ball to Maodore.

Li Wu, who successfully jammed Cauley Stein, immediately ran towards the Kentucky half of the court the moment Luke got the ball, he ran straight and rushed over, only two positions slower than Maodore who advanced from the sideline, and when Maodore reached the flank, Li Wu reached the top of the arc at the same time, and Maodore saw Li Wu's sprinting momentum and passed the ball to Li Wu.

Li Wu took a step forward diagonally to catch the ball, and was about to rush into the inside line, and Aaron, who was back in place, immediately chose to move sideways to block Li Wu's travel route, but Li Wu did not move forward according to his ideas, but slapped the ball and turned around, and returned to the three-point line to jump and shoot, and the basketball brushed into the net.

At 80-77, the Lions trailed by only three points.

In the next round, Cauley Stein received Andrew's ball again, Li Wu went to the bag again, Cauley Stein made the same choice again and passed the ball to Aaron, who did not choose to shoot this time, but dribbled to the basket.

Li Wu returned to the paint area with an arrow step, and in the face of Aaron, who was about to step to the basket, he directly cut off the opponent's basketball with a hand knife, allowing small forward Jeff to pick up the leak and throw it to Maodore, who made an easy layup.

80 to 79.

"Damn it!" Aaron, who missed two chances to score, couldn't help but exchange punches and looked frustrated.

In the next offensive round, Andrew did not drop the ball to Cauley Stein, but let the center Dakari step forward to cover himself, and then relied on his speed to kill the inside, but he also saw Li Wu who appeared in the paint area, as Aaron's twin brother, the tacit understanding between the two is self-explanatory, Andrew didn't look at it and threw the ball to the flank, Aaron received the ball and hit it from the flank again, this time Li Wu's position was far away, so he could only rush to the basket to block Aaron's layup, Instead of cutting the ball off before going to the basket.

Aaron, who is 198cm tall, has already jumped high at this time, holding the basketball in his right hand and preparing to complete a one-handed split.

But Li Wu appeared in front of him at this time, and also raised his right hand and pressed it on the basketball of Aaron's right hand, Aaron didn't think that Li Wu could stop him, after all, his action of charging up and jumping and splitting was almost perfect, and the other party was just an Asian who was 11 cm shorter than himself, maybe his impact was very good, but compared to arm strength, Aaron had absolute confidence.

"If you can clasp his right hand to the bruise......" A dark thought flashed through Aaron's mind, his teeth biting hard, and then his right hand pressed the ball to the basket again.

However, at the same time, a greater force came from Li Wu's hand, and Aaron felt that it was difficult for him to hold the ball, and as his body drifted in the air, it had hit Li Wu, a feeling he would never forget for a long time afterward.

Because Aaron felt like he had hit a cement lamppost.

As a result, Aaron was flipped to the ground by Li Wuhao, and the basketball bounced off the ground and flew towards the half court of Kentucky, where the prepared Maodore and Jeff rushed to the basketball at the same time, and finally the latter got it and completed a one-handed split.

81-80, the Lions overtook Kentucky two minutes and forty seconds after Barkley's prediction.
