At two o'clock in the afternoon, the familiar Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena, the scene of the Memphis vs. Michigan State game.

In the pre-game interview, Michigan State University coach Tom Izo, a famous coach who has coached Michigan for 15 years, said that Memphis has come so far, which shows that these guys are not simple, and everyone underestimates them.

He also said that Memphis has a balanced lineup inside and out, with Elliott Williams on the outside and Li Kaiming on the inside, and Memphis is an extremely difficult opponent.

A classic pre-race milk exchange.

Pastner is also not far behind, constantly touting Michigan players and saying that Tom Izo is his idol since childhood......

This made Li Kaiming on the side a little sick to his stomach when he heard it, these guys are so hypocritical, especially Pastna, he doesn't blush when he opens his eyes and talks nonsense, even he knows that this guy's idol is obviously Coach K!

And the player's pre-game interview was not so harmonious, Elliot Williams, who was beaten into a panda eye by Dream Green, was uncharacteristically and released words in the interview, "Today Michigan will be our stepping stone to the finals!" ”

Li Kaiming: ?

If you don't have a job, you can bite a lighter! Learn from Lao Tzu to speak, right?

And the reporters at the scene were also in a commotion when they heard Williams's cruel words, because Williams has always been a more modest and cautious image in front of the media, but he didn't expect to suddenly say a cruel word before today's game!

And after Michigan heard Williams's interview, the players were also dismissive, especially Dream Green, who even said, "Elliott can score more than 15 points today, and I walked out of the arena upside down!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!

Good guys, before the game started, the smell of gunpowder was already so strong, how exciting it was!

Hearing such-for-tat remarks between the two sides, the security personnel at the scene were also anxious, and immediately temporarily increased the risk screening of players and locker rooms to prevent players from bringing weapons into the stadium!

After all, the free Emerica is full of shootouts, and if there is a conflict and there are guys who can't think of it shooting at the whole field, then their career will be over!

No, it may not only be the career, but even the life of life is over!

As for Li Kaiming, because of his "wonderful performance" in the pre-match interview against Maryland last time, the media will naturally not let him go easily, "Lee, last time you said that Maryland was your stepping stone, and now it seems that you did it, so what do you think of today's game?" ”

After the reporter asked this sentence, the audience instantly fell silent, and everyone stared at Li Kaiming quietly, preventing him from saying anything earth-shattering, but he didn't hear it clearly.

A gentle smile appeared on Li Kaiming's face, "Michigan is a very strong opponent, they are a team that can compete for the championship!" ”

Wow!

A huge discussion broke out at the scene!

What's the situation, this guy has changed? Why haven't you learned to compliment your opponent for three days?

The reporter who asked the question just now also couldn't wait to add, "Lee, you mean, is there a chance that you won't be able to beat Michigan?" ”

Li Kaiming sneered, "What an international joke!" ”

"Then you just said that they are the team that can compete for the championship......"

Li Kaiming waved his hand to interrupt the reporter's words, and then said word by word, "That's right, they can compete for the championship, and we will be this year's champion!" ”

Hearing his words, the reporter who was still excited just now was instantly frozen, and the other people at the scene also looked at him blankly.

I thought this guy had been modified, but I didn't expect it to be as crazy as ever!

The pre-match clash between the two sides whetted the appetite of the spectators, and all the fans entered the arena half an hour early, ready to enjoy a real matchup.

In the arena, the starting lineups of both sides have been listed on the big screen.

Memphis University Tigers: Point guard Willie Kemp, point guard Elliot Williams, small forward Daniel Mack, power forward Wesley Weatherspoon, center Kaiming Lee.

Michigan State University Spartan: Point guard Carlin Lucas, point guard Isaiah Dalman, small forward Jon Crandle, power forward Draymond Green, center Tom Herzog.

Seeing that Dream Green actually appeared in the starting lineup, all the audience's attention became more focused!

Tom Izzo has changed formation! actually put Dream Chasing Green into the starter!

It stands to reason that Dream Green is only a sophomore this season and basically played as a sixth man in the regular season, but today's Tom Izzo actually put him in the starting lineup, which seems to have a unique arrangement.

But Memphis is different, Elliott Williams saw that Green was actually the starter, and the anger and hatred in his eyes instantly became a little thicker!

Pasterner frowned, Tom Izzo's change of formation made him wonder why he would take Green, who had been on the bench for a season, as the starting power forward, and could only wait for the game to start......

——

On the court, the basketball in the referee's hand was thrown into the air under the gaze of more than 10,000 people in the audience, and at the same time, the whistle symbolizing the start of the game also fell!

Honk!

Li Kaiming took the lead, and the powerful explosive power made him rise from the ground the moment the ball flew, and then stretched out his long arms, and the basketball that flew to the highest point was accurately slapped into the hands of point guard Kemp!

Herzog, the center of Michigan State University, watched the speed at which Li Kaiming took off, and his eyes were about to pop out!

Before the game, the coach said that this guy was fast and jumped high, but no one told me that he could jump so high!

However, the next scene surprised him even more, Li Kaiming, who jumped to the ball, started instantly after landing, took a big step, and overtook him in three or two strokes, and went straight to their penalty area.

If it weren't for the help of Dream Chaser Green on the side, I am afraid that Li Kaiming would be able to rush into the inside line in the first round to make a violent dunk!

Next to the bench in Michigan, Tom Izzo's frowning brow stretched slightly.

The decision to start Green was the right one!

It turned out that as early as before the game, the Michigan coaching staff watched a lot of Memphis game videos, focusing on the Tigers' No. 34 center, and they keenly found that the reason why the previous team was blown up by this Chinese kid was because their interior line could not match Li Kaiming at all.

It's not that the inside line is too short, and he picks up rebounds on the head, or the inside line is high enough, but the speed can't keep up, and Li Kaiming breaks through.

And Michigan's starting No. 4 and No. 5 positions also have this problem, if the regular starting lineup is followed, then Michigan's interior line will be like Memphis's previous opponents, and it will be blown to the ground.

So Tom Izzo had an idea and thought of using Dream Green to start to solve this problem.

In this way, center Herzog can effectively protect the interior and rebounds with a height of two meters and one three, and Dream Green, who is one meter nine and eight tall, can not only save the outside line, but also use its fast movement to help Herzog defend Li Kaiming's breakthrough!

Seeing that his arrangement worked in the first round, Tom Izzo couldn't help but feel proud of his bold change.
