After that, the Lions and the Wildcats began a back-and-forth offensive battle, and Stanley, the number one star on the Wildcats' side, still didn't play as powerful as he should, because his offensive and defensive ends were still limited by Li Wu, so he could only attack by McConnell, Blanton and Hollis-Jefferson, especially Hollis Jefferson.

Jeff Cowbe was able to cause Hollis Jefferson a little bit of trouble with his defense, but it didn't do much, and his offensive success rate was still over 70%, but it was quite good compared to Cohen's one-on-one score.

The Lions' side relied on the play of Li Wu and Maodore, especially Li Wu's increase in shooting after adjusting his mentality, many times using a simple block to shoot immediately, and sometimes he shot immediately after finding a gap, such a shooting rate is of course not as high as when he has an absolute chance, but he still maintains a shooting rate of about 60%, and most of them are three-point shots.

Coupled with Maodore's play, the Lions still didn't fall far behind in the first half against the Wildcats who blossomed more than Stanley, but ended the first half with a 53-42 victory.

At the end of the first half, both the Lions and Wildcats starters were a little out of breath, after all, for a player who had just finished a game, their physical reserves were not at their best.

"Well done! Lads! The Wildcats' starters are starting to get tired! Now let's chase the stage! Lee, you still need to be on the court, playing the No. 2 position, Kyle playing the No. 1 position, Cohen playing the No. 3 position, Chris McCombell playing the No. 4 position, and Voss playing the No. 5 position. Your No. 4 and No. 5 positions are to provide Lee with pick-and-rolls, and then do everything possible to grab the rebound and give it to the outside player! "Coach Smith doesn't want to play any tactics now, in fact, against a team whose average talent is much higher than his own, no tactics are useful. He can only rely on more talented players.

Of course, this is not the case for all coaches, such as Popovich and Stevens.

"Both the Wildcats and the Lions have made changes, and the Lions, as in previous games, have Lee on the court with four bench players, and this lineup has almost zero scoring ability except for Kyle, and only Cohen has a little bit of playmaking." After the whistle, Barkley saw the change on the field and immediately began to introduce it.

"In fact, the Wildcats' bench is not much better, except for quarterback Gabby York, these bench players are also very worrisome, and no one else is averaging more than 4 points per game, if Lee can play in the first half, I'm afraid the Wildcats' starters won't be able to stay on the bench for long." The Zen master said.

As if to confirm the Zen master's prediction, Li Wu took advantage of the double block of Voss and Chris to shake off his opponent Gabi, and threw a three-pointer on the wing to bring the difference back to single digits. Then on the defensive end, Li Wu used his lateral movement to quickly help defend in front of the Wildcats center Duvin Ristik who received the pass.

A hand knife slipped off the basketball in the hands of the 213cm-tall black center, and then passed to Kyle to complete a fast break, bringing the margin back to 6 points.

Coach Miller stood on the sidelines and shouted, "Don't hit the inside!" Pick-and-roll! Pick-and-roll! And then the breakout! ”

Then, the Wildcats' backup point guard Parker Jackson Cartwright used center Duvine's high-quality cover and his own speed to shake off the opposing Kyle and step into the paint area when he attacked with the ball, and in the face of the 216cm tall Voss, he came to a quick European step to avoid the block and scored two points.

Parker Jackson Cartwright is a short point guard, only 173 centimeters tall and weighs less than 70 kilograms, playing a bit like the Celtics' Thomas Jr., breaking through extremely fast, and has excellent mid-range and three-point shots, which can cause some lethality after blocking and pick-and-roll.

Although Kyle of the Lions is also very fast, he still can't keep up with the speed of this little man because of his height and weight, so he still scored the next two goals, but Li Wu also gave the Wildcats two three-pointers, so the difference is still 6 points.

"Kyle, he's too fast, I can't help defend in place, so let's switch positions, you go guard Gabby, I'll guard Cartwright." Li Wu said.

Kyle immediately agreed to Li Wu's request, and he was scored three goals in a row by the short man, which was indeed not a very good feeling.

After the change of defense, Coach Miller on the sidelines didn't wait for Cartwright to cross the half, and shouted at him: "Give the ball to Gabi!" Let him play alone! ”

Immediately, Cartwright immediately passed the ball to Gabi, the top scorer on the bench of the Wildcats, after Gabi took the ball, Kyle, who was half a pound and two taels in height and weight, immediately chose to play singles, a body crossover and then changed direction to break through, grabbed half of his body and killed inside, Kyle immediately pursued, but Gabi stopped in the horn area, and then took a step back, came to a sharp stop and retreated to shoot, and the basketball went into the net steadily.

The score is back to 8 points.

"Hey! Sir, it seems that the bench talent of the Wildcats is still a lot stronger than that of the Lions, maybe they are half a pound or two in terms of statistics, but the players of the Wildcats are playing in the Great Pingyang area, while the players of the Lions are playing in the Ivies, and the data content of the two places is not the same. Barkley said to the Zen master with a smile.

"No, these lads can't stop Lee." The Zen master said firmly.

Barkley smiled, not commenting, in his opinion, these players in Columbia are too weak, and the substitutes of the Wildcats are playing very well, even if Li is strong, it is impossible to prevent five people from scoring, as long as Li Wu does not recover the difference within five points during the period of substitution, Columbia University is more than auspicious in this game.

However, things turned out completely unexpectedly for Barkley, and Li Wu explained what it means to be one man and one team at Staple Field in Los Angeles.

After Gabi hit a shot, Li Wu used his one-step start and pull-up jump shot to score three points on Gabi's head, and then chose to step forward to hit Gabi when the Wildcats counterattacked, forcing Gabi to pass the ball to the empty Cartwright, Cartwright immediately jumped and shot after getting the ball, but he suddenly found that a hand appeared in front of his eyes, which shook in front of him, causing him to shoot and hit the iron, and was grabbed by Voss to rebound.

Li Wu had already run towards Cartwright the moment Gabby raised his hand, and although he had time to block his shot, it interfered with his vision, which made the Wildcats' offense fail.
