Maryland's coach Gary Williams was even more caught off guard by the fact that the center opposite was not only blooming on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, like his forty-year-old wife.

Maryland's players didn't know much about Li Kaiming's frame protection at first, thinking that the latter was the kind of interior line that was strong in attack and weak in defense.

But when they turned their heads, Li Kaiming's few big hats made them wake up immediately, and they instantly realized that this guy is not only like a fish in water on the offensive end, but also the center's job - rim protection and rebounding are also excellent!

Originally, according to Gary Williams' arrangement, the focus of their defense today should be Memphis's outside line, because according to his understanding, Memphis basically relied on outside firepower in the regular season to get the second place in the C-USA league, and the shooters dominated by Elliott, Williams, Robert Sully and Weatherpens can shoot all over the entire half!

So he confidently formulated a strategy to strangle the outside line of Memphis, but everything he expected turned into a bubble because of that Chinese kid!

Li Kaiming hung up their interior line alone, and their starting interior Jordan Williams is still rated as a four-star center on ESPN, that is, he has a chance to be selected, but in front of Li Kaiming, he is like a helpless child!

And the root of their backwardness, too.

In the locker room, Gary Williams pondered, and in the end he could only think of one way to limit Li Kaiming, that is, the familiar bag and clamp tactics!

However, there are also three, six, nine, etc., and there are specific package tactics for players with different playing styles.

If a player has excellent heads-up ability, wrap it up before he receives the ball to prevent him from receiving heads-up.

If a player is disruptive inside, it can be packed the moment he receives the ball, as this can disrupt his attacking rhythm.

If you run into the master who breaks through, then wrap around the penalty area, which is the famous closing tactic, directly set up a level near the penalty area, as long as the former breaks through, immediately two defenders will step forward at the same time, one left and one right to jam him, so that he can not approach the basket.

In Gary Williams' view, Li Kaiming is undoubtedly a combination of the latter two, with great interior destructiveness and powerful breakthrough layups.

As a result, he immediately assigned the game to Maryland's players.

——

At the beginning of the second half, as soon as Li Kaiming stepped onto the court, a tsunami-like cheer broke out in the stadium, mixed with the call of "MVP".

The on-site commentary also said with a smile, "It seems that the audience at the scene was conquered by Li Kaiming's performance in the first half, but I believe that Maryland will not sit still, and the second half will be a great test for Li!" ”

Vazquez came up and threw in a three-pointer, which calmed Gary Williams' heart a little.

Fortunately, there is still something to chase!

The Tigers attacked, and as soon as he came to the front court this time, Li Kaiming frowned, because he found that no matter where he ran, there were at least two people around him staring at him, even if they didn't come up directly to wrap up, but they didn't leave him much space.

Seeing Maryland's frenzied tactics, even Pastner, who was next to the Memphis bench, sweated for Li Kaiming.

Gary Williams, this bad old man, is so bad that he is determined to strangle Li Kaiming!

The commentary on the scene was sharp-eyed, and he could see Maryland's intentions at a glance, "As I expected, Maryland was clamped, and it seemed that there was a little space for Li to catch the ball, but I was afraid that as soon as Li received the ball, two people would be caught in an instant!" ”

The commentator is not inexperienced, and Li Kaiming, who received the ball for the first time, also discovered a point, if it weren't for his height and arm span being the longest in the game, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to see where his teammates were!

His eyes were full of Maryland players' fangs and claws!

After several passes, the ball came to the hands of Willy Kemp in the bottom corner, although Kemp's breakthrough ability was not good enough, but his shooting skills were still relatively exquisite, so he immediately shot a three-pointer!

Bang!

It's a pity that the iron is struck!

Gary Williams is overjoyed, useful!

He is ready to kill Li Kaiming without letting Li Kaiming make a move, and he has the ability to let your teammates shoot me!

Pastner was a little worried, the best person in the team was strangled to death, what should I do now!

Turning around, Maryland gave the ball back to Vazquez, who dribbled outside the three-point line to Elliott Williams and suddenly broke to the right.

But Williams is not a vegetarian either, and reacted instantly, blocking Vazquez's inevitable path.

The next moment, the two of them collided together, but it was not an uncontrolled impact, Vazquez's arm of the ball protector exerted force, hit Williams's chest, and then blew up the ball with a right side of the retreat, and in the blink of an eye, it was withdrawn more than a meter away!

For a professional player, more than a meter of space is a huge empty space, especially if it is still within the three-point line!

Vazquez jumped up and put the ball in the basket before Williams' save arrived!

38：46！ Maryland closed the score to within 10 points!

And most importantly, Vazquez's personal score has come to 16 points, surpassing Li Kaiming by 1 point!

Pastner on the sidelines was about to call a timeout to change tactics, but saw Li Kaiming on the field shaking his head at him!

He was shocked, and although there were many doubts in his mind, he still pressed the preparation to call a pause.

For him, Li Kaiming has created countless impossibilities, so this time, he still chooses to believe in the former!

Gary Williams on the other side of the pitch was puzzled.

We have scored 5 points in a row, and the difference is back to within 10 points, why didn't Pastner call a timeout? Did you hang up?

Although he was suspicious in his heart, he didn't react much, but chose to respond to all changes without changing!

In the offensive round of the Tigers, this time Li Kaiming did not stay inside the three-point line, but ran to the 45-degree position outside the three-point line with two followers!

This makes it difficult for Maryland's two defenders, is this a bag or not?

The opposing centers are running outside the three-point line, and it stands to reason that their defensive strategy is working, allowing him to get out of his most comfortable zone.

But the coach gave a death order, even if Li Kaiming went to the toilet, they had to follow, but the professionalism of the players made them think that they didn't need to be packed.

Li Kaiming's operation immediately made the two of them down on the field!

The two looked at each other, to pack or not to pack?

Then they nodded in unison, Bag!

Then he instantly rushed to the outside of the three-point line, and at the same time covered Li Kaiming with his hand!

Just when the two of them were still complacent and prevented the most powerful person opposite, they saw Li Kaiming, who was covered by the two of them, suddenly grinned and revealed a mouthful of white teeth!

Just when the two of them were still wondering, a huge dunk suddenly came from behind them!

Bang!

At the same time, Maryland coach Gary Williams roared angrily, "FXXK! You two trash, who will protect the basket after you two waste! ”
