In addition to encouraging the players to keep going, Pastner also began to make adjustments to the rotation during this timeout.

He brought Weatherpens and Daniel Mac off the field, replaced Will Coleman as power forward, and put Sully on the bench for Mike in the No. 3 position.

The rotation in the last game almost made Pastner haggard, so he did not plan to repeat the mistakes of the past in this game, but took the lead in letting the substitutes play in the first half, so that Li Kaiming and Williams The two cores with the rotation lineup, presumably even if they are behind, they will not fall too far behind, as long as the starting lineup can maintain sufficient physical strength, in the final moments of the game, there will not be such a stretched situation as the previous game.

And Pastner's initiative to change the formation naturally also attracted the attention of the commentary, and Koslov's face became a little better, "Pastner actually started to be a substitute in the first five minutes, it seems that today's picture is not small!" ”

Matt Bullard next to him smiled, "It seems that the narrow victory in the last game made Pastner learn from the pain and came up with this trick, when the intensity of the first half of the game was still relatively small, let the substitutes come up, and let some of the starting players ensure their physical strength, but he is obviously not very worried about the strength of the substitute players, Li Kaiming and Williams did not rest!" ”

Sharp added, "Memphis's bench may not be able to play in the final four, and it is not realistic to be completely substituted!" ”

Stevens didn't care about Memphis' change of lineup, he just reminded Butler's players to pay attention to protecting the box, and didn't do anything else about it.

Butler College came up with a delicate combination, Hayward played Sully, who defended 10,000 people, and naturally had his hands on it, so he took two steps to the three-point line and met Williams's defense, but Hayward didn't panic at all, and a behind-the-head pass passed the basketball to Williams' defender Ryan Dirk.

At this time, Linedecker was outside the three-point line, and Williams saw that Hayward was stopped, so he immediately rushed towards Linedecker.

This guy has three points and can't put it!

But Linedecker was just holding the ball, and Williams, who lost his position in defense, was immediately deceived into flying, and Linedecker saw the opportunity to step into the interior line, and threw the ball to the rebound at will in the face of Li Kaiming's supplemental defense!

Andrew Smith, who had been in ambush under the rebound for a long time, rose to the ground, and then caught the ball with both hands and dunked!

Smith, who was dunked in, dragged the basket, and his body writhed a few times like a giant maggot hanging on it, and then came down with a roar!

Turning his head, Butler obviously strengthened the degree of inclusion on the inside, and when Li Kaiming received the ball on the inside, three people came over in an instant.

But Li Kaiming, who has experienced a number of games, has long been unimpressed, he suddenly turned around, raised the ball high with both hands and put it behind his head to prevent it from being tackled, and then a wide range of transfer balls, from the waist position of 45 degrees on the right side, to the hands of Sully who is 45 degrees on the outside line on the left side.

If you want to pass it on, you must naturally pass it on to the person who is most sure!

This is Sully's favorite rhythm, jumping out the moment he catches the ball, and then the three-point hollow into the net!

The difference is still one ball!

Butler's next offense ended with a mid-range hit from Hayward, where Li grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Kemp.

Coming to the frontcourt, this time he reached out again to ask, and seeing Li Kaiming's action, one of Butler's centers and two forwards both shrank in, ready to help defend at any time.

Kemp's direct pass was not in a good position, so he gave the ball to Sully, who passed it to Li Kaiming on the same side.

Putting Sully on the same side as Li Kaiming is another tactic that Pastner came up with, Li Kaiming, as a center, is very good at passing the ball among NCAA centers, but it can only be regarded as barely among the players in the entire league.

If the opposite side uses a targeted bag, Li Kaiming will not be able to find his teammates who are in the empty position in the first time.

Therefore, let Sully stand in Li Kaiming's line of sight, which can not only ensure that Li Kaiming has a direct pass object when he is trapped, but also reduce his defensive pressure, so that the opposite side cannot be fully packed.

Sully's tactic of standing on the same side obviously made Butler University have some scruples, and the situation of the three of them was instantly reduced a lot.

And Li Kaiming, who got the ball, started smoothly, lowered his shoulders, and rushed towards the basket after dribbling!

Andrew Smith obviously didn't expect that in the encirclement of the three, Li Kaiming would dare to rush to the inside line, so he was caught off guard and lost half of his position.

And Matt Howard and Hayward pounced on the inside line in an instant, and Stevens said that this guy must not be allowed in the penalty area!

The effect of the three-person wrap is extremely significant, Li Kaiming rushed to two meters away from the basket, and was forced to stop, but he did not stop the ball, it is taboo to stop the ball at this time!

I saw him take a step with his right foot to the left and shake Andrew Smith's center of gravity to the left, but the latter is an experienced white center after all, and he did not lose his position because of this move.

Li Kaiming didn't expect to get space to shoot with this one move, he retracted his footsteps, turned his body outward 180 degrees with his left foot as the axis, and at the same time looked up at the basket and made a feint to shoot.

The second feint made Andrew Smith a little ungraspable, and hurriedly took a step forward, and at the same time, Hayward on the other side of the penalty area also rushed over, and the two of them viciously stretched out their long arms and covered Li Kaiming.

If you don't make a move, you'll be wrapped into dumplings!

At this time, Memphis's teammates and coach Pastner were a little anxious!

But Li Kaiming unhurriedly turned another hundred and eighty degrees and returned to his original position, but turned his body to the side facing Smith.

As soon as Smith saw Li Kaiming's posture and preparatory movements, he had a bad feeling in his heart, it wouldn't be ......

On the other side, Matt Howard also rushed over, stretched out his arm and cut towards the ball in Li Kaiming's hand.

On the commentary seat, Koslov saw this scene, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "Li Kaiming used two beautiful feints to attract three people for himself, let's see how he will deal with this attack!" ”

Under the watchful eye, Li Kaiming faced the defense of three people and shot a "ground hook" again!

Andrew Smith, Hayward and Matt Howard all lunged at the basketball in the air, but with Li Kaiming's height and reach, such hooks were almost impossible to defend!

Coupled with the role of the [Hook Master] badge, the NCAA's defense is naturally useless.

Another hollow into the net!

Grass!

Stevens hammered the tactical board hard, and his palms trembled slightly from holding it too hard!

Of course, he can see that Butler has completely defended this ball, and even has almost no room to shoot, but the guy on the opposite side can still shoot!

After so many years in basketball, for the first time, Stevens felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

This kind of ball can hit, which is a huge blow to the enemy's morale!
