Chapter 91: Hayward Erupts

[System]: Task progress 4/5.

At the same time, a translucent holographic screen appeared in front of Li Kaiming's eyes.

On the commentary seat, Koslov's expression was already very ugly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

On the other side, Matt Bullard and Sharpe also had shocked looks on their faces.

They never imagined that they would see an interior technique that was close to being lost in the NCAA.

Next to the bench at the University of Memphis, the coach, Pastella's eyes were also full of doubts.

Since he coached Li Kaiming, he has hardly seen the latter polish his hook-like movements during training.

But in today's game, Li Kaiming actually used this trick that he had never shown before, and there was no way to beat the strongest defensive team in the NCAA!

Resisting the urge to call a timeout, Stevens rarely yelled at the Butler College players on the court, "Don't let him get close to the box!" ”

If you follow the technical characteristics of Li Kaiming before, Butler's defensive strategy can be said to be straight to the point.

But no one could have imagined that in less than a week, Li Kaiming would be able to expand his offensive area outside the penalty area!

In the stadium, the vast majority of fans were also a little dumbfounded!

Before the game, many major sports media made predictions about the game between Butler University and the University of Memphis, and most of them predicted that Memphis might be as ugly as the previous six teams.

In particular, there is also a home-field advantage bonus, which is equivalent to giving Butler a terrifying defense and another buff!

As a result, after getting such a bonus, the University of Memphis not only fought back and forth with Butler, but even the most heavily defended restricted area was pierced by the Chinese kid on the opposite side!

In the NCAA, where there is no defense for three seconds and joint defense is allowed, the restricted area is almost a no-man's land for the offensive team.

Hardly anyone can turn the tide in the restricted area of the NCAA.

Unless you have NBA All-Star level destructive power!

And now, such a team with the strongest defense in the league, the penalty area has become like a road, and Li Kaiming has taken points at will.

Somewhat ridiculous!

The players of Butler University, because of Li Kaiming's successive balls, have become a little weakened.

They knew in their hearts that they had spent their best efforts and energy to limit the other side, but the result was still unsatisfactory.

No one likes this feeling.

Especially Andrew Smith, who is the main defense of Li Kaiming, has become a little decadent.

Hayward's performance is still very consistent, and his mental quality is much stronger than the others.

So, after seeing his teammates all get into the rhythm of the other team because of a ball, he knew that this was the time for him to step up.

Coming to the front court and getting the defender's pass, Hayward left the pass and reasonableness behind for the first time.

He beckoned to Andrew Smith, who came up to cover before he suddenly accelerated with the ball and dodged the opposing defender.

Li Kaiming followed Andrew Smith to the upline, at which time Sully was stuck behind by Smith and could not defend Hayward, so the task of defending Hayward fell on him again.

After entering the three-point line, Hayward faced Li Kaiming's defense, and when he was still more than a meter away from the latter, he suddenly stopped and made a jump!

Li Kaiming originally wanted to wait for Hayward to enter the net, but he didn't expect him to pull it out directly in the middle distance.

After habitually pounced under his feet, he found that the other party had already shot, and he had just arrived.

Hayward is an offensive kaleidoscope-type player, and in the face of such an almost empty defense, it is natural to score easily.

After the goal was scored, the audience erupted in cheers!

The rest of Butler's players also had a light in their eyes again.

yes, why do you have to be guarded against? It's like you'll be able to beat us if you fight to attack!

Even if we can't score, we still have Hayward!

When Butler's players let go of the psychological baggage of the opposite side of the death, the spirit of the whole team immediately changed.

The next moment, the Memphis players got a glimpse of Butler's true strength.

In the Memphis offensive round, after Li Kaiming got the ball this time, the bag between the center and the two forwards came very quickly.

Seeing this, Li Kaiming could only quickly pass the ball to Sully in the bottom corner.

After Sali came on the pitch, he always consciously sought the latter to pass the ball.

If nothing else, just because this guy is the most reliable three-point shooter on the whole team.

But this time Butler didn't leave room for Sully so easily.

The moment the ball arrived in Sully's hand, Hayward, who was still in Li Kaiming's hand, had already rushed to Sully, and at the same time opened his arms and shrouded Sully in his defensive range.

Sarly's three-pointers are very accurate, but that's when there is no one to defend, and he is only suitable for open threes without confrontation, and top shooting is not his strong point.

So he had to pass the ball again.

It was Elliott Williams who caught the ball this time.

Williams' ball-handling singles are definitely in the top five divisions of the entire NCAA.

He has the size of a forward player, and when combined with a guard-level dribble and shooting, he has a lot of scoring tools.

That's why he's been able to make it to the NBA.

But this time, Williams ran into hard stubble.

His first move was very fast, and he passed his opponent Ryan Deke in one step

But Butler's defense wasn't that simple, passing Ryan Decker and getting Hayward and Matt Howard in the back.

If Williams continues to break through, he will be greeted by a three-way encirclement.

As a last resort, he could only shoot a mid-range shot near the penalty area in the middle.

Williams didn't seem to have a good hand tonight, and the mid-range shot slammed into the front of the basket before the rebound was picked up by Andrew Smith.

Li Kaiming quickly returned to the defensive position to prevent being counter-attacked by the opposite side.

Hayward asked directly from Smith's hands, and after he dribbled to the frontcourt, he was outside the three-point line at 45 degrees on the right side, facing Sully's defense, and suddenly chased three points!

Sully didn't expect that even Li Kaiming didn't expect that Hayward would throw it directly after half time!

It was too late for Sully to go to defense, so he had to watch as the ball slammed into the basket and splashed into the waves!

The Lucas Stadium erupted in a huge cheer again!

Koshlov directly incarnated as a Hayward fan, "Amazing Hayward, he has hit three shots in a row!" He led Butler to bring the momentum back again! ”

Stevens nodded with satisfaction, Hayward deserved to be his most valued disciple, and lived up to his careful cultivation.

But Pastner's face was not good-looking, and a few minutes ago, he was still excited, and he actually beat Stevens to call a timeout first.

But it didn't take long for Butler to regain the lost advantage, and at the critical moment when the opposite side was rising, even if he didn't want to call a timeout, he had to call it.

He immediately signaled to the referee and called the first timeout of the game.
