McKay's face sank and he called a timeout as soon as he had half a minute left to get a good lay-up and maybe a chance to get Colorado State overtime. As for the direct lore, huh...... If you have this opportunity, you can call another timeout, at least to narrow the difference to one or two points.

The rest of the coaching staff were also very nervous, and the only one who was still sitting calmly in his seat was undoubtedly Chang Wei. There are many, many examples of lore and counter-lore in his memory, so there is nothing to be excited about, and Colorado is fighting so hard that even if he loses the game in the end, it will be enough.

Of course, this is not to say that he doesn't want the team to win the game, if he can make it to overtime, Colorado State may still have a chance to rely on his perverted physical fitness, but now if he wants to kill the opponent directly, it is not ordinarily difficult. Even if you can use a three-point shot to narrow the difference to 1 point now, as long as Duke doesn't make a mistake, it will inevitably take foul tactics, and if the opponent tightens the fence to prevent three-point shots, the probability of Colorado losing the game will be greatly increased.

But this is also something that cannot be helped, any head coach will basically have to fight for three-pointers at this time, and McKay is no exception. While writing and drawing on the tactical board, he said loudly: "In this round, we will strive to hit three-pointers in the shortest time, no matter whether the ball goes in or not, as long as the opponent gets the ball, we will take foul tactics as soon as possible." In addition to covering in the high position, the interior line should also pay attention to grabbing rebounds in the front court, and then re-organize the offense after grabbing it, understand? ”

Everyone should be loud, especially Palesio, who is the loudest. In this game, his statistics have come to 28 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and he shot 6 of 14 from beyond the three-point line, obviously facing Duke's heavy defense, but this time he still intends to shoot himself, and the team leader's pot still can't be thrown casually.

After McKay gave a few more advices to the players, the timeout was over and the game resumed. Palesio directly held the ball at the top of the arc to summon a block, this time it was not Goodwin alone, even Ford was pulled to the high position, and immediately pulled Duke's basket into the air, and Palesio directly held the ball and killed it. It stands to reason that he should have caught the ball from beyond the three-point line, but Duke will definitely keep an eye on him, and it is better to break through the opponent's defense first, and maybe create an open space.

Getting to the free-throw line a step in, Palesio didn't continue to push in, but instead passed the ball to Patik in the bottom corner just as his opponent was about to finish the pack. The latter made a gesture to shoot, attracting the defense and then giving it to Sven Sai on the strong side, Sven Sai also broke through with the ball with his head stuffed, but he just made a show and threw the ball back of his head before he could rush a few steps.

Looking at the direction of the ball, Palesio was already ready from beyond the three-point line, after he had played a pick-and-roll with Goodwin, and now he relied on Ford's cover to get back out and receive the ball. The position was created by a series of combinations, and Palesio did not hesitate at all, hitting the precious three-pointer with a knife in his hand to make the score 73-74, and with 19.5 seconds left in the game.

Lao K's face is also ugly, the opponent has made a mess of his team's defense with a double cover and continuous breakthrough points, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a slap in the face. And there are 19.5 seconds left in the game, and fools know that the opponent must take foul tactics, and then continue to shoot three-pointers, which is the only way to chase points at critical moments.

However, the old K did not call a timeout, but only made a gesture to Langton, who understood and ran over to say a few words to Purzbilla. Of course, the old K's gesture McKay can't understand, if he can understand it, he will definitely ask his players to prepare in advance, and the old K's instructions are to serve quickly to the front court, and don't give the opponent time to react.

The Colorado players clearly wanted to get a foul straight away, as you can tell from their full-court pressing. Unfortunately, before they could find their opponents, Duke quickly sent the ball out, and everyone who received the ball did not dribble at all, and passed it with his hands, and hit the ball to the front court in two or three seconds.

If it weren't for Patick's deathless back-to-back scramble that disrupted Duke's rhythm, they might have been able to drain the rest of the time in the constant passing. Still, when Langton stepped to the free-throw line, the timer showed only 9.7 seconds left, which was a problem for Colorado State.

A smile tugged at Langton's lips, barely accomplishing his goal. He slapped the ball, took a deep breath, and hit the first free throw. Here to insert a sentence, NCAA free throws are very interesting, every half of the game, a team's players have committed 7 offensive fouls and technical fouls, and then any player of the team has committed another offensive foul or technical foul, will implement the one-plus-one free throw rule, awarded a free throw to the opposing player who was violated, if the free throw is successful, this player will make another free throw; If the first free throw is missed, the game shall continue without the opportunity to take additional free throws. If the penalty taker does not touch the hoop, it is a violation and the opponent throws a throw-in on the touchline.

Now Langton scored the first goal, so the referee gave him a second chance. With his 87.2% free throw percentage this season, the second free throw was of course a solid shot, turning the score to 76-73. For Duke, as long as he stops the Colorado offense next, or even doesn't let them shoot three-pointers, then he can win the game.

And in fact, they did the same, and when Colorado State restarted and the Palesi Olympic ball came to the frontcourt, all the Duke players except Potzbilla pulled up to the top to prevent Colorado State's three-pointers. It's okay to go in and score two points, but you can't shoot three points from the outside.

The number on the timer was decreasing, but Pallesio kept dribbling the ball at the top of the arc as if he didn't see it, and he didn't know that they were the one who was ahead. However, Langton, who was in charge of defending him, was still in a tight position, and with only seconds to go, he didn't want to fall short at this time.

Suddenly, Palesio moved, he changed his body twice in a row and then slammed back half a step, throwing the ball nearly two meters outside the three-point line, and the ball had just been shot, and the number on the timer had returned to zero......
