Coach Kalipari also wanted to put Derrick. Ross is sent to play, but Ross is not iron-clad. In the first 16 minutes of the first half, it was completely relied on him and C.D. Roberts, the twin stars of the backfield, to attack frantically to maintain the score difference, but the price they paid for this was physical problems, looking at Derrick Rose who was sitting on the bench and kept wiping his sweat with a towel, Coach Calipari finally decided not to let Rose play, after all, the substitute time of the rotation lineup was only 4 minutes away from halftime, and I believe that if his own substitutes try their best to defend, even if the opponent sends Lee, I believe that the point difference will not be stretched too wide.

Li Yao, who appeared again, took the lead in contributing a steal on the defensive end, and he didn't think he had cooperated with the substitutes, worried that they would not be able to cooperate well with his fast attack.

But Landry. But Fields said that he had never eaten pork and had never seen a pig go? He has been watching from the sidelines to know how Li Yao and Jackson's defensive counterattacks are playing, he has fantasized more than once that Jackson has become himself, and cooperated with Li Yao to play various fast attacks and air catches, but he didn't expect that there is such a good opportunity in front of him now.

At the moment when he saw Li Yao break the ball, Landry. Fields ran to the front court, although he had not cooperated with Li Yao, but he believed that Li Yao would definitely not let him down.

Li Yao thought that the ball would have to be played by himself, but he found that Landry. Fields has rushed to the frontcourt, looking at this teammate who was pressed by Jackson on the bench, this rare opportunity to perform, how could Li Yao not give him?

Li Yao, who chuckled, threw the basketball in his hand to the rebound, and the basketball that rebounded went straight to Landry. Fields went and saw Landry who had passed the ball to him. Fields also did not hesitate to rise from the ground, as the so-called force to pull out the mountain and cover the world, although Landry. Fields's tomahawk-style slam dunk is not too exaggerated, but the momentum is very strong.

Landry after a dunk. Fields and Lee came to a high-five, which was arguably his best goal in the NCAA this year, and the thought of his family in the stands being able to see him on the basketball court was like this. Fields was very grateful to Lee.

"Lee and Dwyan's outside defense combined with their counter-attacking fast break, isn't that a beautiful picture?" Pat. Riley sat on the sidelines and fantasized about Lee and Wade teaming up, which seemed to be interesting.

"Oh, the backup point guard at the University of Memphis is afraid that Lee is the steal king of the year in the NCAA, and he is still dribbling behind the back in front of Lee? Doesn't he know how to write dead words? I really don't know if Coach Calipari is trying to strangle him. Barkley's complaints are always so sharp, so that Kenny on the side. Smith had nothing to say about his partner.

"Chris, what are you doing? Do as I say, and if you don't know how to play, get me off. "Coach Calipari is really angry, you said that you are a substitute, in a limited time, not according to the delaying time tactics I formulated to compress the time, but still play in front of Lee, who started the core of the best defensive lineup for a while?

Chris from the University of Memphis' backup point guard just woke up from a dream and honestly executed Coach Calipari's decision to run out of time every time he attacked.

Li Yao thought that the opponent's point guard was frightened by his steal, so he didn't dare to attack decisively, but after a long time, he found that something was wrong, and the opponent's backup point guard had no idea of attacking at all, until the opponent's point guard suddenly shot, but with the beeping of the timer, Li Yao understood the intention of the University of Memphis, there are only four minutes left, I wasted 35 seconds in a round, and you can send Li Yao to lead me by a few points in the bench time?

But how could Li Yao, a sinister old hunter, let such an idea succeed?

Li Yao, who scored a goal on the offensive end, made a gesture to the substitutes when he retreated, which was so familiar to everyone at Stanford.

Of course, it's not just Stanford people who are familiar with it, Kenny on the TNT commentary stage. Smith, as soon as he saw Li Yao's gesture, shouted: "The whole court is pressing, and Lee has begun to command Stanford University to play the full-court tight defense again." ”

"Ho, Lee is a terrible kid, but I like it." Barkley, who also saw Li Yao's intentions, smiled sheepishly.

"Now the intention of the University of Memphis is very clear, that is, to consume time, even if it doesn't matter if you can't score, as long as you drag the time that Lee is on the field and don't let the score be completely pulled away, then there is still a possibility that the main players of both sides will appear in the second half. However, Stanford's offense is still sharp, with Lee scoring a goal, Lee suddenly made a gesture after the goal, what? Stanford University actually started a full-court pressing defense? "On ESPN's side, Mark Murphy is commenting on it. Jackson was also taken aback by Stanford's sudden full-court press-and-go defense.

"Wonderful, too witty, don't you want to delay time at the University of Memphis, I'll use the whole audience to press you." Reggie. Miller couldn't help but sigh at Li Yao's wit.

"It's very resilient on the field." That's Wade's assessment.

"Basketball has a high IQ." This is Pat. Riley's evaluation when he saw this scene.

The sudden pressure caught the University of Memphis' backup point guard off guard.

Seeing that the 10-second violation was about to pass the half, the backup point guard wanted to rely on speed to cross the halfway line first.

But will Li Yao give him such a chance?

Obviously, it was impossible, the moment he accelerated, he found that the basketball in his hand was gone, and when he looked back, he saw Li Yao's peerless figure jumping directly in the free throw line to dunk.

The backup point guard then made two more turnovers in a row, one failing to pass the half court with 10 seconds and another forcing a pass to Landry. Fields breaks the ball.

Coach Calipari, who really couldn't stand it, immediately called a timeout, watching that only two minutes had passed, and the score difference on his side was stretched to more than 10 points, and these substitutes couldn't crack the opponent's full-court tight defense at all, and if it went on like this, there was no need to wait until the second half started, and the game was already out of suspense.

"Coach let me go." Derek. Rose is the heart of this team and he has to step up at times like this.

"Okay, Derek, you come on the pitch with one goal, take the ball across the half court and control the time." Although very worried about Derek. Rose's physical strength, but Coach Calipari has no other way but to let Rose play.

The timeout is over, Derek. Ross is also on the scene.

See Derek. Rose came on the court, and Li Yao planned to give up the full-court pressing, because Rose's appearance made the full-court pressing defense not have much effect, but when he saw the sweat dripping down Rose's sideburns, Li Yao knew that he must continue to press the full-court defense.

"Since Derek. . Rose is all up, so why does Lee still have a full-court press defense? Isn't that a waste of energy? Stanford's assistant coach Jason asked puzzledly, you must know that they Stanford used to give up the whole court to press the defense when they encountered this situation, but today Li Yao has to continue to insist, which makes him unable to understand.

"Jason, we're not the only ones who are wasting our energy." Coach Trent Johnson certainly knows Lee's strategy, and you've been relying on this Derrick since the first half of the University of Memphis. Rose's breakthrough came as the starting point, and the price for that was Derek. Rose's fitness gradually declined, and it was finally time to rotate, but a full-court press from our Stanford side forced you to send Rose again.

If Li Yao revokes the full-court pressing at this time, it will undoubtedly make Derek. Rose's rest place changed from the bench to the court, but Li Yao insisted on continuing to press all over the court, so as to squeeze you as much as possible in the limited time Derrick. Rose's fitness.

When you have a problem with your core, you still want to win in Memphis?

Facing Derek again. Rose, Li Yao tried his best to defend the top, he wanted to let Rose run out of strength.

Thanks to Derek. Rose's own physical fitness declined, and the breakthrough was far from being as sharp as at the beginning, coupled with Li Yao's abundant physical fitness, he felt the huge defensive pressure brought by Li Yao's direct face for the first time at this time.

Of course, Li Yao also understands their intention to delay time at the University of Memphis, and he himself is deliberately consuming Derek. Rose's physical strength, so it seems that Rose has completed the task of compressing the time given to him by Coach Calipari, but his physical strength has further declined.

Until the end of the first half, the difference between the two sides remained at about 12 points. Rose only stabilized the situation after coming on the court, and although his fitness has dropped, the firepower on the offensive end is unquestionable.

In the Stanford locker room, Coach Trent Johnson praised his disciples: "Guys, you guys did a great job in the first half, and if we just keep going in the second half, we're going to be this year's NCAA champions." ”

"Don't worry, coach, we won't let the championship trophy fall into the arms of anyone else." Jackson was the first to open his mouth and shouted, and the rest of the Stanford people also shouted, and the momentum broke through the sky.

"Lee, you're fine." Coach Trent Johnson asked with some concern, although Li Yao has been hanging inside to let the two Lopez brothers play hard after the opening, and he has not made much effort, but after all, he played the entire first half, coupled with the extremely physical consumption of the last four minutes of full-court pressing defense, which can't help but make Coach Trent Johnson a little worried about Li Yao's physical fitness.

"Don't worry, coach, I'm as strong as a cow." Although the last four minutes did consume a lot of Li Yao's physical energy, it had no effect on Li Yao's vinegar monk-like body at all, after all, he played the role of a bystander for most of the first half.
