Chapter 52 - The duel on the open-air court

After the timeout, Derek . Rose did the same, hitting a two-point pullup jumper near the free throw line on the fast break.

And the University of Kansas couldn't change their icy feel even if they called a timeout. Chalmers made a three-pointer from the outside, and the basketball jumped out of the basket.

When counterattacking, C.D. Roberts missed three points, but Joey Dorsey grabbed the rebound in the front court, and Derrick Rose, who received Joey Dorsey's pass, went directly along the middle of the gap and killed it, facing Darrell Arthur and Darnell Jackson's supplemental defense, Derrick Rose changed hands in the air and made a layup, putting the basketball firmly into the basket while causing Darrell Arthur's foul.

After hitting the free throw safely, the University of Memphis was in the field of Derek. Rose's lead came to six points.

It's hard to imagine that the two teams changed after halftime, and as their teammates' touches rose, Kansas struggled to limit Derek. Rose's breakthrough is a bit constrained, which leads Rose to rely more unscrupulously on his breakthrough as an offensive starting point.

As another core scoring point of the University of Memphis, C.D. Roberts also stepped up at the critical moment, and two crucial three-pointers at the moment of chasing the score helped the team close and overtake the score.

The University of Memphis backcourt twins are shining, but Kansas is a gloomy cloud.

However, as the leader of the University of Kansas, Mario . Chalmers stepped forward at this point.

In the case of failure to attack, but in the case of Derek. Rose steals the basketball in his hand when he launches a fast break. Rushed to the front court and ended the steal with a dunk.

Memphis' next offense was to take advantage of the NCAA's 35-second offense rule and not shoot until the last second, and they wanted to drag the game to the end of the game by doing so.

In the face of Memphis's choice, Kansas is undoubtedly cornered, and they must hit every attack steadily, and also defend against Memphis's offense, only in this way can they equalize or even overtake the score in the little time left.

Darrell. Arthur's back-to-back turnaround jumper under the basket brought the score closer to two points.

The University of Memphis was hit by a three-pointer from C.D. Roberts at the end of offensive time, and although the basketball was missed, Joey Dorsey grabbed the rebound again.

The basketball was passed to Derek on the perimeter again. Rose, at this point, Rose looked at the time passing on the timer, as if the finals were already beckoning to him.

The Kansas side was the first to react by Mario. Chalmers grabbed Rose and sent him to the free-throw line.

But in the second half, Derek behaved like a god. Rose made one of two free throws, wasting the chance to lock up the win, because time was running out for the University of Kansas, and if Rose could hit both free throws, it would be a hell of a time for the University of Kansas, but now it is left with a chance for the University of Kansas.

"Will history repeat itself?" When Lee Ya saw Derek. After Rose's free throw, he couldn't help but mutter, but he remembered that this was the case in his previous life, "Super Mario" - Chalmers's terrible three-point shot not only dragged the game into overtime, but also won the MOP with this crucial three-point shot.

"Lee, what did you say?" Wei Shao seemed to hear Li Yao muttering something, so he turned around and asked.

"It's nothing, the next win or defeat depends on this three-pointer from the University of Kansas." Li Yao snorted and diverted Wei Shao's gaze.

As soon as Li Yao's voice fell, the timer time also went to the last three seconds, just like in his previous life, "Super Mario" made a decisive shot outside the three-point line, and the trajectory of the basketball flight attracted the attention of everyone on the scene.

With a "duang" sound, the basketball slammed into the front of the basket and bounced up, but the trajectory of the fall was still in the basket, and as the basketball fell, everyone stared with bated breath waiting for the upcoming result.

The "duang" basketball didn't fall into the basket in the end, Rose grabbed the rebound and threw the ball directly into the air, and the beep of the timer and the final whistle from the referee's mouth also sounded.

"Let's congratulate the University of Memphis on successfully advancing to the NCAA Men's Basketball Finals, and they will compete with Stanford University for the final glory on April 8, the NCAA championship, let's look forward to it." The DJ at the scene shouted loudly.

And Li Yao, Wei Shao and Wade chose to leave when they saw that the "Super Mario" missed the three-point shot, so as not to be discovered because of the crowd in the end.

"I didn't expect these two teams to play so fiercely, and it wasn't until the end of the game that the winner was decided." Wei Shao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, although this semi-final and the game between UCLA and Stanford are not comparable to the spectacle, but it is thrilling all the way, leading and overtaking alternately, and the maximum score difference is only 6 points, which is not much less exciting than their game.

"It's a pity Mario. Chalmers' final three-pointer didn't score, otherwise it would have been seen in overtime. Wade, as a superstar of the golf quotient, saw at a glance that the University of Memphis was actually physically unable to withstand it in the final time, while the University of Kansas relied on a balanced rotation of squad strength to maintain physical strength, and if it really started overtime, the physical storage and allocation would directly affect the team's victory or defeat.

"Lee, what do you think?" Wei Shao couldn't help but look at Li Yao, both himself and Wade expressed their opinions on this game, only Li Yao didn't say a word.

"Hey, Wei Shao, why do you say the University of Kansas is so unpopular?" Li Yao said with a look of regret.

"Why don't people go to Kansas?" Wei Shao said that he didn't understand Li Yao's words at all.

"You see, yesterday we at Stanford showed them how to restrain the attacking duo, Derek. Ross and Wei Shao have a similar style, if Kansas can learn from our Stanford plan, they will win today, so Wei Shao, you can also win me once. As soon as Li Yao finished speaking, he turned his head and ran.

"Lee, don't let me catch you, or I'll kill you." Wei Shao didn't realize that he was being molested by Li Yao again until he saw Li Yao running away, and immediately chased after him.

"What an interesting couple of teenagers." Wade was still holding the bucket of popcorn in his hand.

Just as the three of them were about to find a restaurant for dinner, an open-air basketball court on the side of the road caught their attention.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and immediately put aside their plans to go to dinner.

"Hey, man, can you lend us the basketball for a while?" Wade finds a black kid and wants to borrow a basketball.

"Why should I, Dwyan? Oh, my God! How did you get here. The black kid wanted to refuse, but when he turned his head, he was surprised to find that it was the Miami Heat star who borrowed the ball from him.

"Shhhh Wade actually used a head-touching kill on this black child, and as soon as this nirvana came out, the basketball was immediately in hand.

"How? Would you two like to play a game first? Wade dribbled the ball and asked Li Yao and Wei Shao.

"Forget about the two of us, we have already fought each other yesterday, it is nothing more than a mutual explosion, but Dwyan, are you interested in playing a game with each of us?" Wei Shao first said that he was not interested in fighting with Li Yao, but he was full of expectations for a duel with Wade.

"Wei Shao, Wade is still recuperating from his injury, I think it's better to forget it." Li Yao remembered that Wade should still be recovering from his injury at this time, and he didn't want Wade to have any accidents.

"Hey, Lee, I'm almost healed from my injury, and I need to get some exercise, which of you will come first?" Wade dribbled the ball and hooked his fingers at Li Yao, signaling one to come up and fight him.

"I'll come first." Wei Shao, who was anxious, didn't wait for Li Yao to speak, and jumped directly into the stadium to put on a defensive posture.

"Russell, I'm not going to show mercy." Wade stared at Wei Shao's defense and said softly.

"Dwyan, show me a look at what NBA superstars can be." Wei Shao clapped his hands and shouted.

"Yes, Russell, since you have such a request, I will fulfill your request." Wade heard Wei Shao's shout, and the expression that was originally still indifferent instantly became focused, and the sharp eyes made Wei Shao, who was defending, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Wade used the first step of the real lightning, only one mistake, Wei Shao was left behind, Wade accelerated directly into the free throw line and jumped dunk.

"It's your turn." After the dunk was successful, Wade threw the ball to Wei Shao, and his meaning was obvious, that is, each person played two balls with one offense and one defense.

Subconsciously Wei Shao, who turned out to be basketball, reacted at this time, although Li Yao also used Wade's lightning first step in the game with him, but now in the face of the authentic lightning step, Wei Shao failed to react at all.

Li Yao off the field was also surprised by Wade's lightning step, although he has been imitating Wade's lightning step, but now he knows that after seeing it in person, he found that his so-called lightning first step is more than a little different from Wade's authentic lightning step, although he has also fought with Wade in training mode, but Wade has always been on the defensive side, so Li Yao has never witnessed the lightning first step that he is famous for.

Wei Shao looked at Wade, who had already put on a defensive posture, sorted out the emotions of being surprised, and wanted to take this attack seriously.

Wei Shao wants to rely on his speed to get rid of Wade, this situation he has succeeded more than once in the game with Li Yao, but now in the face of Wade's defense, he feels huge pressure, as if no matter what direction he breaks through, Wade will block his offense at the first time, "Is this the strength of an NBA superstar?" Wei Shao thought so.
