Ninety-nine, the end of Kentucky
"Oh ~ beautiful! Baby! What a beautiful cap! A cement lamppost appeared in front of Aaron and smashed him to the ground in one fell swoop! Poor Aaron! Ha ha! O'Neill laughed.
"Yes, nice blocks, Lee has already shown his power and explosiveness in previous fights, and Aaron may have been overconfident in his reach and bounce. He didn't notice at all that Lee not only had a pair of long arms, but also two big hands, but what I didn't expect was that as the one who was behind the force, Lee actually flipped the Aaron hat to the ground, which required a lot of arm strength. "Barkley, as a short insider, knows very well how difficult it was for Li Wu's block just now.
First of all, although Li Wu's bullet speed is very fast, and the bounce power is also high, but in the face of Aaron, who has reached the highest point, Li Wu's altitude in the air is actually the same as Along, in this case, Li Wu stretched out his hand to block Along, and he did not have the advantage of a big man's force from top to bottom, so he could only compete with the opponent in parallel.
Think about the efficiency of pressing down and pushing down and pushing hard in ordinary life, you can know how much strength Li Wu needs to overturn Aronde.
Aaron was still confused by his teammates, obviously he didn't believe he was so easily capped, he remembered that since high school, when he was full of jumps to dunk, no one had covered himself in the real sense, and at least he would get a free throw.
But now, he was covered by a counterpoint player who was more than 10 centimeters shorter than himself, and his movements were so clean and neat that even he felt that the opponent did not foul.
This is the most frustrating thing.
"It's really efficient to block with a big smasher! But if I had faced a guy who was 20 kilograms taller than me, I'd have been knocked into a reasonable collision zone. Li Wu assessed his cap limit.
At this point, the Kentucky players have given up on Aaron as an offensive point, and a player whose attack is continuously blocked will inevitably suffer, not to mention that he has just been blocked for an inevitable goal.
At this time, Li Wu was even more unscrupulous on the defensive end, he stood inside the three-point line, except for Lyles who stood in the bottom corner to get the ball, he went over to cover whoever took the ball, so that Kentucky's offensive system could not play at all, and Coach Calipari could only shout on the sidelines and let Lyles play alone.
So the ball got to Lyles.
Lyles held the ball and then flicked his arm and dribbled to the basket with his body, Jeff couldn't block his impact at all, Lyles didn't choose to make a layup in the face of Ossetkovsky's defense after crossing the short corner area with Jeff, but a ground-hitting pass, handed to Dacari who was standing on the outside of the reasonable collision area, Ossetkovsky, who lost his position because of the help defense, could no longer defend Daccari, and could only watch Dacari dunk.
This dunk allowed Kentucky to regain the score, but at this time, Li Wu was already feeling hot, and he used to run in the bottom corner to catch the ball directly and directly to a catch-shoot, scoring 3 points again, making the score 84-82.
And this goal also set the tone of this game, and from this moment on, Kentucky no longer had a chance to overtake the score.
Then Lyles took advantage of his position advantage to score a ball, followed by Li Wu in the three-point line to receive the ball to Jeff who was at the point guard, Jeff dribbled towards the basket, and after halfway through, he passed back to Li Wu who retreated outside the three-point line, and Li Wu immediately scored another ball.
Lyles then cut the ball away when he executed the offense, and Maodore made a quick break to give the Lions a five-point lead at 89-84.
In the last four minutes, the Lions' guard Jeff was completely empty, Lyles and Aaron have been wrapping up Li Wu, even when Li Wu is running without the ball, the two are giving Li Wu a physical confrontation, ignoring Jeff who has the ball, they would rather give Jeff a single than a little space for Li Wu to receive the ball.
In the face of the entanglement of Lyles and Aaron, Li Wu also tried hard to use his body and pace to dodge, but playing basketball is not boxing after all, and if he is not happy, he can just punch his face and hammer it, and he can only fight physically when the rules allow, which is like being tied hand and foot for Li Wu, so he doesn't have many chances to score in the last four minutes, and even the chances of sharing the ball are few, but he can pass out the gap every time he divides the ball.
The person who got the most space in the last four minutes was Jeff, the third position of the Lions, but Jeff didn't dare to shoot three points at all, so every time he got the ball, he was rushing to the basket to kill, and at the same time he was also observing Li Wu's situation, as long as Li Wu had space to catch the ball, even if Jeff had rushed to the basket, he would hand the ball to Li Wu, if not at all, he would choose to go to the basket by himself.
Kentucky center Dakari couldn't have been able to make up every time under Osettkowski's interference, so he still gave Jeff a chance to finish, and in the final four minutes, Jeff became the top scorer for both teams, scoring seven points, one of which came from free throws.
And Kentucky also scored seven points in those four minutes, which were scored by power forward Cowley Stein and small forward Lyles, and one of them was a three-pointer, which was Lyles' pull-up jumper against Jeff.
Unlike Kentucky, the Lions had one other person who scored 3 points in addition to Jeff, and that was Maodore, who shot 3 points because of the open opportunities that his opposing players went to defend Li Wu, and his three-point shooting rate was as high as 43.1%. The chances of scoring a goal are still good when shooting in the open position.
So the final score was fixed at 99-91, and the Lions won by eight points.
Towns and Booker watched their teams lose the game with blank expressions, and for them, now that they can go to some team tryouts, that's all that matters.
Calipari didn't take any memorable interviews and walked straight into the locker room hallway, but it was Cauley Stein and Lyles who were interviewed by reporters, and as usual, they were asked what they thought of Li Wu.
"Views? Man, he's amazing! Needless to say, he scored 54 points this year! I remember he's scored more than 50 points in three straight games, and I don't know if that's an NCAA record. In fact, we just can't stop him, and he can stop us! Lyles said flatly.
"yes, he's a great guy, I played in the NCAA for 3 years, and I didn't talk about a guard who shot so accurately. To be honest, I'm looking forward to meeting him in the NBA. After Cowley Stein praised Li Wu, he directly announced his idea to participate in the NBA draft of the year.
Kentucky's journey this summer is over, but for the team's Towns, Booker, Cauley Stein, Lyles, Aaron, and Andrew, summer has just begun, as they all compete in the 2015 NBA Draft.
