Chapter 100: The Offensive and Defensive Trends Are Different
After Li Kaiming won the rebound, he passed the ball to Kemp and then ran quickly to the court.
Andrew Smith gritted his teeth and followed, and the rest of the Butler University players also ran towards the backcourt as soon as Memphis was on the fast break, and the four formed a human wall near the three-point line.
The tempo of the game once again fell into positional battles.
The audience began to shout "defend" in unison again.
This time, Camp chose to play a tactic, but at this point, the tactic should be as simple as possible, and the ball should pass through less hands, otherwise there is a high risk of mistakes.
Last time, Williams was used as bait, and this time it was Li Kaiming as bait.
Let Li Kaiming come up to block and dismantle, and then attract a double bag, Williams picks up the opportunity to run, and catches the ball outside the three-point line at 45 degrees on the right side.
The rest is to pull away from beyond the three-point line and create a single opportunity for the core of the team.
Williams managed to receive a pass from Camp on the outside, and his opponent was blocked by Li Kaiming, who was still a step or so away from Williams.
And such space is already ready for Williams, who faced the pounced Ryan Derk, looked calm, and made a three-point shot.
Under the basket, Li Kaiming and Andrew Smith frantically engaged in physical confrontation to decide where the rebound belongs.
Although Li Kaiming has the [Rebounding Maniac] badge, after all, his weight is lighter than Smith, and his strength attribute is also at a relatively poor level in the inside.
In addition, he grabbed a frontcourt rebound, so he was naturally stuck by Smith.
But Williams didn't give Smith a chance to grab a rebound, and flew directly into the basket along the parabola.
63:67!
The Memphis duo suddenly made a force and chased the score to only 4 points between the two sides!
Stevens couldn't sit still and immediately called a timeout.
With less than three minutes to go, it only takes two rounds to erase the gap between the two sides.
No matter how calm the coach is, he has to stand up and command the team at this time.
Moreover, this was only Stevens' second timeout, and Butler University performed very well in the second half, and did not let Stevens call a timeout to set up anything, just gesture and command from the sidelines.
Li Kaiming and Williams gave a high-five, and then sat side by side on the bench in Memphis.
The water dispenser player enthusiastically handed over two bottles of energy drinks, and the team staff on the side gave each player a clean towel.
Pastner glanced at the big-headed players and smiled.
"Boys, you've done a great job, keep it up, I've been able to see the final..."
As a rookie coach, Pastner has also experienced a lot along the way, and although he is still in a backward state today, he is no longer at a loss in the last game.
In addition to the players, coach Pastner is also growing.
While Memphis didn't need to make much tactical adjustments, Pastner habitually drew a few points and runs on the board.
The timeout passed, and before going on the court, Pastner suddenly pulled Li Kaiming, "Lee! ”
Li Kaiming was a little puzzled, but he still leaned down.
Pastner covered his mouth with his hand and then said a word into Li Kaiming's ear.
After hearing this, Li Kaiming's face showed a look of surprise.
But he nodded anyway and walked onto the court.
As soon as the Memphis players took the field, they were shocked by the boos of the fans.
Butler gave the ball to Hayward after serving, and Harén, the point guard this time, became a tool directly.
Hayward dribbled from the backcourt to the frontcourt to face Williams' defense.
The audience was silent, Butler's goal scored or not, the trend of the game will be completely different!
In such a depressing atmosphere, Hayward kicked in, and he once again chose to arch his back to the inside and hit Williams with his back.
But he didn't dare to hit too deep with his back.
After all, there is also a fast-moving center Li Kaiming on the inside, and the latter's defensive speed can completely do one defense and two in a narrow penalty area!
So this time Hayward hit his back to a small step from the outside of the box at 45 degrees, and then flicked his shoulders in the opposite direction.
This back-to-back feint is a must for all Frontguard Swingers.
Williams was bewildered by Hayward's suffocation and deviated slightly from his defensive position, before being swept away by Hayward's turn.
In this position, after the opposing defender has been passed, there is only one last line of defense left, which is the center of the frame!
Seeing that Williams had been passed, Li immediately took two steps forward, and at the same time raised his hands high to prevent Hayward from throwing.
But Hayward didn't plan to shoot, they all went into the restricted area, and the most efficient was naturally attacking the basket.
Although before the game, Stevens warned Butler's players not to try to challenge Li Kaiming's rim easily.
But at this point, Hayward had completely put Stevens' advice behind him.
He is confident that even if Duncan is opposite, he can score a few, not to mention that he is still a bankrupt version of Duncan II.
Even if you can't score, you can make a free throw!
In this game, he performed very well and had a high shooting percentage, which strengthened his confidence.
His feet were a little faster, and he was already on the ball after Williams' first step, and he had to play it at this time!
One step away from the basket, Hayward's face turned unsightly.
Because he found that he didn't get rid of Li Kaiming!
That guy is almost 10 centimeters taller than him!
How is this possible?
But the arrow is on the bow, and it has to be sent!
He took the last step towards Li Kaiming, then his left arm and the latter's chest confronted, his right hand held the ball, and with a flick of his wrist, he came to a pick-and-roll.
Although Li Kaiming's strength level is not very good in the center position, in the face of the misalignment of small forwards, his strength advantage is still relatively obvious.
Hayward didn't carry the ball away for him, and with the interference of his raised hands, Hayward's layup smashed onto the rebound and fell over the basket!
Li Kaiming came to defend Hayward, and Andrew Smith under the basket naturally faced Williams, who had switched defenses.
With a height difference of more than 10 centimeters, Smith easily picked up the rebound on Williams' head.
But when Smith got the rebound and got up again, Li Kaiming, who had defended Hayward, had already freed his hand and flew over to give him a big hat!
This cap put the basketball out of Smith's control, and a group of people messed around under the basket, and finally the ball smashed into Smith's body and went out of bounds!
The baseline referee immediately signaled that Memphis had a ball in the front court!
Andrew Smith made a symbolic protest before running to the backcourt.
On the commentary seat, Sharp completely replaced Koslov's host work, and commented into the microphone, "Hayward chose to challenge Li Kaiming, which does not seem to be a good choice at present, in this way, the rhythm of the game has completely come to Memphis's side, as long as Memphis can score the next goal, then the offensive and defensive momentum will be completely reversed!" ”
The audience at the scene also saw that the trend of the game was not in the direction of the home team, so they became more hysterical.
Li Kaiming on the field only felt that his eardrums were about to be shattered!
More than 60,000 spectators shouted "defense" in unison!
And the players of Butler University also had very serious faces, their eyes did not blink, staring at the Memphis players who served in the backcourt.
