"Towns' talent is undeniable, he scored two super quadruple-doubles in high school, an achievement that few people in history have been able to achieve, and although he only won the Southeastern Conference Rookie of the Year award after entering the University of Kentucky, it was also due to his short playing time. In fact, it's not just him, Devin Booker's playing time is not long, after all, the ultimate goal of these talented teenagers is the NBA, and Kenben doesn't need to work hard in the NCAA. Barkley said.

At this time, Li Wu received a pass from Maodore, took the ball on the wing, and in the face of Devin Booker's defense, Li Wu easily started with one step and added a start-and-stop jumper to hit a three-pointer.

O'Neal shook his head when he saw this: "Booker, this kid can't guard Lee, his lateral movement speed is not as good as Stanley's." If I were John Calipari, I would choose to use Andrew to defend Lee. ”

Kentucky coach John Calipari was also very irritated when he saw Li Wu score two consecutive shots, and for him, he didn't like this kind of guard who floated on the outside to shoot, so he often reminded Devin Booker to use his strength and height to get inside, because the guards he has cultivated in his coaching career are good at hitting the basket, such as Derrick Rose and John Wall.

It is for this reason, so although Coach Calipari has watched Li Wu's video, he still does not pay too much attention to him, in his opinion, the most fundamental reason why Li Wu can lead Columbia to the semi-finals is his ability to assist and make up defense, but in front of Downs's super inside, Li Wu's supplementary defense is a joke, and he can't cover Downs at all.

As for Li Wu's three-point shot, he thinks that Booker can prevent it as long as he is active, but now Li Wu has scored two goals, and his team is still two points behind.

"Hey! German! Use your physical strength to fight him, don't run so far to defend him! Coach Calipari shouted from the sidelines.

Booker immediately changed his defensive attitude after hearing this, and after the 213cm tall Willie Cauley-Stein dunked Luke to tie the score to 6-6, Booker saw Li Wu take the ball and immediately pressed up, using his height to defend oppressively.

Li Wu turned his back to protect the ball, stretched out his left arm to dribble, although Booker is 198cm tall, 11 cm taller than Li Wu, but his arm span is much worse than Li Wu, so that Li Wu's hand has no chance to pull out Li Wu's ball when he dribbles with his back, and can only defend in the back.

In the face of the opponent's sudden increase in defensive intensity, Li Wu looked very calm, he used his lower strength to slightly push off Booker and then directly turned his back and shook off the opponent towards the three-point line, Booker will immediately chase, Downs, who is standing on the inside, did not choose to make up the defense, but still stood under the basket and entangled with Osette Kowski, but the small forward Trey Lyles who stood on the wing appeared on Li Wu's route, the 208cm tall No. 3 position blocked the area is very large, Li Wu had no choice but to pass the ball to Cohen.

Cohen, who was standing in the vacant position, immediately chose to spit inside, Downs shook off Ossetkovsky's entanglement when Cohen entered the paint area two steps and gave Cohen a big hat, guard Andrew immediately rushed to the Lions' half after getting the ball, Maodore chased after him, but Andrew, who controlled the ball, made a slow and fast rhythm change when he made a layup, and deceived Maodore out of the bottom line, and he easily completed the layup.

"Beautiful! Boy! This is the Downs I know! Haha, do you remember when I said he got two super quad doubles? That's 16 points + 17 rebounds + 11 blocks + 11 assists, and a 20 points + 14 rebounds + 12 blocks + 10 assists, his blocking ability is absolutely the best in the NCAA, this young man is only 20 years old this year, and he has a bright future! Barkley was not shy about his praise.

8-6, Kentucky led by two points. Kentucky fans at Lucas Oil Stadium were already excited, chanting Downs' name non-stop.

"This guy is a bit awesome!" Li Wu said silently in his heart, he saw that even if his teammates got the opportunity to vacate the position, the success rate of scoring under the basket would not be very high, and Ossetkovsky had no way to have any impact on Downs, although he was 211cm tall on the surface and Downs still had an advantage of 9 kilograms in weight, but he could not occupy any advantage in the card position and scrambling for rebounds, because the difference in tonnage could not be reflected in strength at all, obviously Downs's strength was not inferior to Ossetkovsky.

Not to mention that Downs has a dexterity and explosiveness that Ossetkovsky can't match.

"I can only bet on three points!" After Downs scored two more points from Ossetkovski's head, Li Wu's right hand, which was not dribbling, after receiving a pass from Maodore in the Kentucky half, stretched out three fingers and raised it high.

"What does that mean?" Barkley asked.

"I guess he's encouraging opponents to shoot three-pointers, and with guys like Towns on the inside, they're going to attack the basket and give Downs another double-digit block statistic. It's better to shoot a three-pointer. O'Neill laughed.

"Except for Li Wu, the Lions' three-point shooting rate is not high! Only Maodore alone went up to 40%. Barkley said.

"That's better than giving Downs a double-digit block, right?" O'Neill asked with a smile.

"But such a three-point shot will undoubtedly give Downs a super double-digit rebound!" Barkley laughed too.

"Man, you're wrong, anyway, no matter how you play, Downs can get two rebounds in this game." O'Neal laughed even more, and Barkley laughed as well, and the two high-fived each other.

Murphy watched very depressed from the sidelines, and he found that both O'Neill and Barkley had a natural affinity for the talented Kentucky, so they always deliberately sided with Kentucky when commenting.

In fact, Murphy guessed wrong, O'Neal and Barkley stood on the side of Kentucky from time to time because of the talent of this team, after all, talent is a flash in the pan, especially in the NCAA, talented young people will only go to the draft in one year in college, Kenben can't last long, and O'Neal and Barkley are both talented people when they play, how many of these guys can surpass their achievements?

They are on Kentucky's side because of the University of Kentucky coach Mr. Calypari, the eight-year, $31.65 million NCAA highest-paid coach who is the most vocal coach to be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. For great coaches and players, they will maintain their respect, and in comparison, Coach Smith of Columbia University, a coach who has reached the final four with his players, really makes the two bigwigs not respect.
