68. Leader

~~~~~~~~~~~~~When the whistle blew in the second half, Coach Ryan made the first move, he replaced all the starters, but he replaced Kenig who had just been replaced in the first half, and now Wisconsin's lineup is the fourth scorer Kenig with 4 substitutes on the court.

And Coach Smith also responded, except for Li Wu, all the main players of the Lions team also went down, which became a situation where Kenig and Li Wu played on the court with a substitute lineup.

The first ball of the second half was in the hands of the lions, who came off the bench and sent the ball to backup point guard Kyle, who did not pass the ball to Li Wu, but held the ball himself through the half, and Li Wu cruised to the wing of the three-point line.

Kenig immediately stepped forward to defend Li Wu with a death-winding style, but Li Wu had a foundation in martial arts, and after a few tricks, he threw Kenig away, and then received the ball, and the center Voss immediately pulled to the outside to form a block for Li Wu.

Li Wu dribbled sideways and shook off the dogskin plaster-like Kenig, and then jumped to shoot, and the basketball went into the net steadily!

"Lee's selflessness in the first half worked, and now his teammates are starting to give back to him, and even though these substitutes were off the court in the first half, there is no doubt that Lee has earned the authority and respect of the Lions locker room." Barkley said after seeing a simple catch and pick up a pick-and-roll score from Li Wu.

"Hey! Zach - Showalt! Vito Brown! Pack the ball carrier, ignore your alignment! Coach Ryan yelled from the sidelines.

"Chris! Don't catch the ball in the open space, go directly to the strong side to block and dismantle Lee! They can't keep up with Lee! Coach Smith immediately coached Zach on the opposite No. 4 Chris McCampbell.

Chris was originally the main power forward of the Lions, but this season he was squeezed to the bench by sophomore Luke, because his shooting percentage is very low, only 31%, his finishing ability is very poor, he has a height of 203cm and a weight of 106 kilograms but he can't control rebounds, and his bulky movement ability can't complete the wing defense, and he is a low-level player in the Ivy League, let alone facing a team of talent level like Wisconsin.

So Coach Smith's tactics are very simple, which is to block and pick and roll infinitely, let Li Wu use his running to open up space, and then finish the offense.

I have to say that Wisconsin's bench is definitely better than the Lions' bench, and the ability of backup point guard Triwin completely suppressed Kyle, he can easily use crossover to throw Kyle away, and then rush into the interior to kill Voss, two rounds, Li Wu used the errand to score 6 points, and Triwin also scored 4 points, two of which were free throws.

At 47-40, the Lions trailed by seven points.

"Brush!" When Li Wu once again used the double difference of Chris and Worth to shoot a three-pointer, the difference between the two teams was only four points, but Coach Ryan had no intention of letting his help play. Trivan went on to single Kyle.

This time, after Triwin passed Kyle, Li Wu quickly made up for it in the elbow area and blocked Trivan's way, but Triwin took advantage of the time difference to pass the ball to Kenig, who was completely empty, and Kenig, who was on the flank, immediately accelerated his dribble and rushed into the inside, stepped to the basket, and Li Wu immediately moved laterally to prepare for blocking.

But Kenig threw the ball high and completely exceeded Li Wu's air control.

Substitute center Duch Dukahn leaped high and then landed an open dunk over Voss's head.

The goal ignited the enthusiasm of Wisconsin fans, and the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis echoed through the Veterans Memorial.

With a look of shame, Vos picked up the ball and walked to the baseline to prepare for the free throw.

"Hey! Worth! You can stop him, this ball is just your lack of concentration! He's only 208cm, but you're so

There is 216cm, press him with your body! He's so skinny, not even 100 kilograms, you can suppress him! Li Wu stepped forward to comfort his teammates.

"I'm sorry.... Plum. We had a chance to get a point. Voss said dejectedly,

"Cheer up, I'll take care of the score!" Li Wu patted Voss on the shoulder and ran forward.

This scene was seen by all the audience, but not many people paid special attention, except for the scouts who came to the scene, only the Zen master and Fisher and Abby and the three people in the commentary seat saw it.

"He's a kid with a lot of emotional intelligence and I think he's a good leader in the locker room." The Zen master said.

"Cameron won't say yes." Fisher reminded his mentor.

"I have to say that if Lee goes to Phoenix, he will indeed be a qualified leader. It's just that Bledsoe's position overlaps a bit...."Abby thought to herself.

"It's hard to win this game in Wisconsin." Barrick made a straight conclusion.

Murphy was stunned when he heard it, although he really hoped that his brother could win, but it was too early to say this, although Li Wu turned on the god-killing mode in the second half, but Wisconsin could maintain the lead with the bench, and it was not certain who would win and who would lose.

"Murphy, a talented player is never terrible, what is terrible is a talented player who knows what he is doing well from beginning to end, Lee's selflessness in the first half has mobilized the team's enthusiasm, I think you can see that in terms of talent, Wisconsin's bench can be comparable to the Lions' starters, but the score has been shrinking, of course, there is Lee's credit, but more importantly, all the players of the Lions are willing to voluntarily give up the ball and take on the dirty work themselves, Let Lee let go and score, as long as Lee can show the physical strength he did against North Carolina, Wisconsin will be dragged down. Kenny Smith said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wu hit another three-pointer, and the score narrowed to 3 points, 49-46.

Decker, who is 206cm tall and weighs 104 kilograms, can switch back and forth between the two positions of small forward and big forward, and his one-handed shooting is extremely lethal, with a two-point shooting rate of 63.9%, plus his height and arm span, which also played a certain role in helping to defend Li Wu, so in the following time, Li Wu's shooting rate decreased, but Decker made a series of shots.

With 10 minutes left in the second half, Wisconsin still led by six points at 62-56, and at this time, the starters of both sides came on the court again, and Kenig was not substituted and continued to be responsible for marking Li Wu.

After Wisconsin's main force came on the court, the inside and outside linkage of point guard Jassel and center Kaminsky still exerted great power, and Li Wu also kept scoring after Kenig's physical decline in fitness, and the difference between the two sides has been hovering around 5 points.
