Chapter 018: Deadly Three-Point Shot

At halftime, in the UCLA locker room, everyone's mood was quite stable.

"It's okay boys, there's still the second half of the game, we're going to win in the end, Collisson, don't run with the rhythm of the other side in the second half, slow down."

Collison immediately nodded to show that he understood.

"Holiday should squeeze through the cover quickly, don't be afraid of fouls, show your defensive intensity, if there is a block, immediately call everyone to help defend, and don't let Curry have another chance to shoot easily."

Holiday gasped and nodded, he had been chasing Curry in the first half, and the physical consumption was very high, and the continuous iron in the last few minutes was a sign of physical inadequacy.

"Kayce, if you feel good about shooting, you can be bold and shot, and in the face of the help defense, I know you can solve the problem, and this is no longer the time to pursue reasonableness, release your energy into the game!"

"No problem, coach, I'll lead Curry in the second half, my fitness can hold on, and if I don't feel good, I'll signal."

Li Ze directly expressed his thoughts, the boss should take responsibility, he knew that his teammates were already helping him save his physical strength.

In the second half, he has to give it his all, he has to lead by example on both ends of the floor, and on the basketball court, you have to prove yourself with real actions.

......

The atmosphere in the Davidson College locker room is very good, after all, they are already 10 points ahead, and the team's star Stephen Curry is in hot form, maybe they can set a new school record.

"Stephen, how is your fitness, if you need to rotate, you must be early, we are ahead at the moment, we can give you a little more rest." The head coach is very concerned about Curry.

"I'm okay coach, it's the last 20 minutes, I can hold on!" Curry was also tired enough in the first half, and Holiday couldn't let go, but fortunately he felt hot today.

'Davidson College had a 10-point lead in the first half, they had the advantage and I'm sure they will continue to play at the pace in the second half and Stephen was in great shape today.

Barkley began to poison Davidson College, and he was optimistic about UCLA, which would have completely betrayed.

"UCLA will respond, if you're the leader of the team, you have to lead by example, Kayce was not aggressive in the first half, he had to play better!"

Reggie Miller was expecting a performance from Li Ze in the second half.

Soon, to the cheers of 70,000 spectators at the Lucas Oil Stadium, the second half of the game officially began.

Collison held the ball past half court and gestured to his teammates, signaling for his teammates on the inside to come up.

After receiving the ball through his teammates' off-ball cover, Li Ze did not choose to call the block to attack, but directly took a cross step, and accelerated the defender with his left hand with the dribble.

Straight take-off, a one-arm buckle.

The ball smashed directly into the basket, and Li Ze took advantage of the unstable defense of Davidson College to sneak attack.

"Brilliant breakthrough, UCLA changed their tactics in the second half and Kayce showed his aggressiveness!" Reggie Miller shouted praise.

When Curry held the ball across the halfcourt, he found that his defender was replaced by Li Ze.

In the face of Li Ze's oppressive defense, Curry was a little uncomfortable, after all, in terms of height and arm span, Li Ze completely surrounded him.

When Curry launched the block again, Li Ze quickly squeezed through the defense, and at the same time, UCLA's interior line immediately came over to pinch Curry.

When facing two defenders who are taller than him, Curry can only play the ball, but the quality of the pass is not high.

Davidson's offense of the round ended up being scored by a shot from an interior player, but the offense became extremely sluggish.

"That's it, hold on, quick defensive rotation, hold on to the lads!" Old man Ben shouted loudly from the sidelines.

In UCLA's offensive round, all interior players are still promoted to better open up space for the team.

After receiving the ball, Li Ze signaled Collison to cover him, this is to consume Curry on the offensive end, Davidson College naturally knows that Curry's defense has a problem, and wants to change the defense for Curry immediately.

But Li Ze seized the moment of the defender's hesitation, started quickly, broke through directly, and drifted out on the right side when the defender had lost his position.

"Whew...", he scored from the middle distance.

Curry signaled to his teammates that it was his problem, that he knew what the other team was intent, and that tactics worked well against James Harden, who also wanted to wear themselves down.

This time on offense, Curry quickly handed over the ball and began to run without the ball, and Li Ze struggled to catch up.

After Curry received the ball again, Li Ze felt that his body had lost its center of gravity, but in just a moment, he regained control of his body.

The achievement badge [Ankle Support] has worked! Li Ze's successful defense made Curry barely shoot from beyond the three-point line in the end.

"Bell...", the three-pointer hit the iron, his teammates protected the rebound, and Collison motioned for everyone to slow down.

Li Ze gave Collison a look, signaling that he would be the one to finish the attack in this round.

UCLA played very patiently this time, and with 12 seconds left in the offensive time, Li Ze had his back to the position, and Holiday hoisted the ball high to Li Ze.

Take the ball and frame a simple triple threat, put the ball directly, step back and make a jumper, and the defender only has time to make a symbolic jump.

"Whew..."2 points were scored steadily, and Davidson College asked for a timeout.

Curry looked at Li Ze a little helplessly, such a height and arm span, with a variety of offensive means, it is difficult for Davidson College to limit one-on-one.

"It's very good, we have no problems with our offense, keep this rhythm, don't hesitate, have a chance to shoot resolutely, protect the rebound, their shooting percentage has dropped!"

The head coach was already roaring, the cheers of the audience were too loud, and the old man didn't care about the image at all.

Davidson College let Curry start playing more off-ball after the timeout to help Curry better conserve energy.

But there is not only Li Ze on the UCLA side, Holiday and Collison began to press the ball carrier on defense, and in the face of such defense, Curry reluctantly received the ball again and launched a blocking attack.

In the face of Li Ze and the inside player's sandwich, Curry wanted to hang high to his teammates, but Li Ze jumped up to intercept it, and after the steal, he threw it directly to Holiday in the front court, and the fast attack was successful.

In the following time, the two sides began to play a defensive battle, constantly putting pressure on the opponent's core players.

At this time, the advantage of holding the ball returned to the UCLA side, and the single-core Davidson College offense became more and more sluggish, and began to hit the iron frequently.

Li Ze and his teammates seized the opportunity to tie the score, and in the final 50 seconds before the end, Davidson College used his last timeout.

Curry sat on the bench gasping for air, his physical strength had reached its limit, Li Ze was too oppressive on his defense, and the opponent barely shook, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Stephen, it's up to you to shoot this ball, we have to make full use of the attacking time, be patient, don't rush to shoot, time is on our side!"

The crowd is about to explode, the score is currently tied at 65, both sides have one chance to attack, and the fans on both sides have begun to pray.

The timeout passed quickly, and it was up to the last 50 seconds to see who would advance to the final four.

Davidson Academy sent the ball off the sideline, Curry received the ball and immediately started running without the ball, and with the help of continuous screens, he had a chance from beyond the 3-point line.

But Holiday immediately rotated into place, and at the same time, Collison immediately stepped forward to wrap up, and Curry once again passed the ball to the receiving post player, and once again ran away from the ball.

UCLA's defense was successful, and with only 6 seconds left in the final offensive time, the ball returned to Curry's hands and faced Li Ze's defense again.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I dribbled under my crotch continuously, and then suddenly dribbled back, and finally closed the ball and retreated to make a jumper.

"Huh..."Hollow into the net, stepping on the line of 2 points scored, lost the center of gravity and fell to the ground Curry immediately got up, looking up to the sky and roaring!

The Davidson Academy fans have gone completely crazy and they are shouting like crazy.

Can this go in?

Li Ze was also a little speechless, he didn't shake the ball at all, he was just afraid of fouling and finally closed his body, and as a result, it went in?

Is the green version of the library day long...

"Incredible, incredible, with losing his balance, Stephen Curry scored the most crucial shot of the game and he almost killed the game!"

The two commentators in the commentary seat were also shouting loudly, and Reggie Miller was already desperate inside

The UCLA bench was quiet, the coach was roaring and the substitutes were praying for the team.

"Kayce, you're going to finish it at last!" Coach Ben looked at Li Ze.

"No problem, I'll score this goal!" Li Ze replied calmly.

The game begins, and the fateful 15 seconds are decided.

"UCLA succeeded in the sideline ball tactics, but their time was running out, Li Ze came out to catch the ball with cover, and there were only 8 seconds left!" Reggie Miller has stood up and watched the game.

The moment Li Ze received the ball, Curry had already pounced on him, and they did not allow a 3-point opportunity, and at the same time drove Li Ze to the bottom corner, and the interior assistant defender immediately rotated.

At this time, Li Ze had accelerated to dribble in the direction of the right corner, where was his shooting hotspot.

In the last 2 seconds, Li Ze faced the defense of the two and drifted back from the three-point line in the bottom corner to shoot.

Under the nervous gaze of 70,000 fans, the ball fell to the basket in a graceful arc.

The timer lights up and three points are scored!

"Wow!!" UCLA fans began shouting and venting their excitement.

"It's crazy, it's incredible, Kayce kills his opponent, he kills the game!" Reggie Miller has broken his voice.

At this time, Li Ze was pressed to the floor by his teammates and couldn't get up, although his body was tired, he shouted excitedly in his heart:
