Hayward's idea was good, but he didn't expect another result, and if he didn't score against Li Kaiming, it would be another story.

Li Kaiming and Kemp once again executed the delayed strategy to prevent him from going alone against Shanghai Ward.

But this time Hayward was determined to beat Li Kaiming, and if he failed once, he let Andrew Smith cover for the second time.

Hayward was already in a state of madness, and the second cover was once again resolved by Kemp's early position, he finally couldn't help it, and at the moment when Li Kaiming and Kemp had not yet reacted, a push suddenly drilled through the gap between the two!

The choice of this ball is very thrilling, and if you are not careful, you may be tackled by Li Kaiming or Kemp.

But luck was on Hayward's side this time, and he managed to burst into the box before Lee Kaiming and Kemp closed the goal, and then twisted his body to shoot against the on-the-back Witherpens.

This time he didn't even pass the ball, even if there was an assist defense under the basket, he had to go on it himself!

Witherpens's height is here, Hayward is not motivated, but the referee on the bottom line gave Hayward a chance to save himself and blew Witherpens's blocking foul!

The number of fouls has not yet been reached, so the 1+1 free throw rule is still enforced.

Hayward hit the first free throw with a solid shot.

73：72！

In the second free throw, Hayward adjusted at the free throw line for a long time, and it was almost 10 seconds before the free throw was violated, and he made a slow shot.

Hit again!

73 flat!

The crowd shouted Hayward's name and chanted MVP!

Hayward had an excellent performance tonight, scoring 22 points so far, the best player at Butler University, and shooting from the field.

The most important thing is that when Li Kaiming hit consecutive shots in the fourth quarter, Butler University's side relied on Hayward to respond to Memphis's goal!

He deserves the MVP call of the whole court!

There is 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the game time!

Both sides have fought to the point of running out of ammunition, and both Memphis and Butler University have only one timeout left.

At this point, it is no longer possible to make any eye-catching adjustments in tactics, or to suddenly find the opponent's shortcomings and kill them in waves, and the current style is to try to defend as much as possible on the defensive end, get the backcourt rebound, and give the ball to the best players on the offensive end.

This is the most glamorous moment of the basketball game, and it is also the moment that best reflects individual heroism.

Defend down, throw in, you are the best player, if you are blocked by the opposite side, or can't score, it's a soft egg!

This is competitive sports, brutal and real.

Butler University still chose to play a weak package against Li Kaiming, Andrew Smith was the main defense, and the two forwards assisted the defense.

The rest of Memphis passed the ball around and still couldn't find the right shot.

Butler's joint defense was even more terrifying at this time.

It can almost be said that it is airtight.

In the end, the ball still came to Williams's hands, and the conventional tactics were not enough, so the stars made up singles!

In the face of Butler's joint defense, it is not wisest to choose a direct breakthrough, because no matter which angle you break through, you will face a two-man closed-door attack.

So at this point, another person is needed to disrupt the opposing defensive set-up.

This task is none other than Li Kaiming.

There are three people at Butler University who have their attention on him, and his every move will take Butler's nerves.

Pastner shouted from the sidelines to get the ball near the free throw line.

And Butler University's response was also very timely, changing the 2-3 joint defense to the 3-2 joint defense, and putting 3 people on the line, no matter which direction Li Kaiming broke through, someone would come to assist in the defense.

But the rest of the people in Memphis are not eating dry meals, and the two of them on the line at 45 degrees pull out as much as possible to create a chance for Li Kaiming to play singles.

Li Kaiming received the ball, facing Andrew Smith, the two guards of Butler on the left and right, and the two forwards in the bottom corner, everyone's eyes were on him!

He took a deep breath, and when the breath in his chest was completely exhaled, he suddenly pulled out in the face of Andrew Smith's defense!

His first few shots made Andrew Smith dare not let him go, so this time he stood forward a little, so that even if Li Kaiming shot, he could directly interfere.

Therefore, although Li Kaiming's shot this time was somewhat unexpected, he still subconsciously reached out and pounced, and successfully interfered with the former.

Of course, this kind of interference is what Andrew Smith thinks is in place.

But this level of interference, in front of Li Kaiming, who has the legendary [Key Shooter] badge, is a little immature.

Smith thinks he's doing his best, but he can't defend it with his best efforts.

There are many people in the world who do their best, and there are only a few who can achieve their goals.

Li Kaiming is in the middle of the pitch again!

75：73！

On the sidelines, Pastner clenched his fists fiercely, his hands trembling with emotion.

On the commentary seat, Koslov didn't want to speak at all, but Sharp on the side was a little excited on his face, "At the critical moment, Li Kaiming seems to be stronger, is Memphis really going to win today?" ”

The audience was still chanting Hayward's name.

This time, Hayward chose to play a two-man spin with Matt Howard, who are the undisputed core players of Butler University, and their pick-and-roll should be the team's strongest move.

If you don't change the defense, you will take the opportunity to break in, and if you change the defense, you will hit the wrong position.

Howard and Hayward were obviously much more adept at working together, and the first pick-and-roll of the two men hit the mark, putting Howard against Williams.

Hayward wasn't greedy either, passing the ball to Howard to misplace.

The sad Williams was arched to the inside by Howard again, and Andrew Smith took the initiative to leave the box in order to make room for Howard.

So Li Kaiming also had to stand on the edge of the penalty area close to Smith, while paying attention to Howard next to him.

Sensing that the distance was almost close, Howard suddenly turned around and flashed past Williams, and in front of him was Memphis' most heavily defended basket.

Li Kaiming immediately returned to the penalty area and directly released Smith to help Williams defend Howard.

His height and reach played a role again, and Howard's layup smashed onto the rebound under his interference, and was finally picked up by Li Kaiming.

The audience shook their heads and sighed.

This time, Butler was obedient in college, and resolutely did not let Li Kaiming have any space, so he let him stand outside and watch his teammates play.

Under the strong joint defense of Butler University, the shot was still completed by Williams, but this time it was not scored.

There are 50 seconds left!

The difference is 2 points!

Hayward still played a pick-and-roll with Howard, only this time Hayward held the ball and Howard cut inside.

Howard's inside cut allowed the Memphis players to shoot a mouse, and Hayward on the outside took advantage of the gap and hit a jumper immediately!

75:75！

The two sides are tied again!

With 36 seconds left, one chance to attack!

Pastner used up the last timeout and had one more offensive round, and it was his turn!
