Chapter 118: Leading the team alone
After replacing Coleman, the effect was immediate, and Singeler immediately didn't feel so good in the face of Coleman's pressing defence.
But Coleman's play has its pros and cons, and he doesn't have Daniel Mac's threes, so it's a black hole of space on the offensive end.
This led to Memphis's offense being extremely constipated in the next ten minutes, and Duke's defense was also very vicious, and every time Memphis passed the ball, it was always Coleman who was empty.
So Memphis went straight into an awkward iron split.
Either the other four people faced a strict defense and missed the difficult shot, or Coleman had no one to defend after getting the ball, so he was really embarrassed and had to throw one.
But this basketball will not be sophisticated, it will not fall into the basket by itself if you are embarrassed.
Coleman's shooting percentage in training is ridiculously low, and if he can shoot in the game, that's hell!
So in the ten minutes that Coleman played, Memphis could only rely on Li Kaiming and Williams to score a few points, and the rest didn't score a point, and directly became a close observer on the field.
On the other hand, on Duke's side, although Coleman's appearance suppressed Singler's singles to a certain extent, there was an old K coach to support him, and Duke University's lineup was not short of people who could score.
After Coleman came on the court, Singeler's individual performance was to prevent it, but Duke University directly blossomed in full swing, and the two guards of Schell and Smith burst out and shot out, and they could also drive their teammates.
In just ten minutes, the margin was stretched to 10 points, and Pastner was so frightened that he immediately used up the second timeout!
Pastner wanted to defend Duke University by changing formations, and such a naΓ―ve idea was directly soaked in the soup after ten minutes of practice.
It wasn't until now that Pastner felt the pain of West Virginia.
You think that after changing someone, you hold down the person who just scored, but after turning your head, the rest of the people all exploded!
It's not a matter of pressing the hoist to get the scoop, it's pressing the hoist to get a submarine!
What makes Pastner even more painful is that Coleman's negative effect on the offensive end is simply blind, even if he knows that is Coleman's real level, he still can't help but want to go on the court and strangle the latter when watching the game!
You can die if you enter one of them!
But this is not to blame Coleman, he is an obedient worker, and Pastner, after thinking for a while, decides to take Daniel Mack back.
Li Kaiming, who was sitting on the bench wiping his sweat, glanced at the score on the big screen above his head.

Then he suddenly had an idea and said to Pastner, "Coach, why don't you let Elliott rest for a while, and me, Daniel, and Robert will all go!" β
As soon as Williams heard Li Kaiming's words, he immediately became anxious, "No, it's already difficult to score, but it's even more difficult to fight if I go down!" β
Pastner also nodded in agreement, now is not the time to rest, this is the national final, not a regular season, a few minutes of rest may directly determine the ownership of the championship.
Li Kaiming patiently explained, "At present, it is almost impossible for us to defend against Duke, so we can only play against each other, and today will definitely play until the last moment, Elliott must ensure that he has enough physical strength in the last time, these five minutes are what I will fight for you, you have a good rest!" β
Williams frowned, "And what do you do?" Don't you take a break? β
Li Kaiming smiled, but the words that came out of his mouth were very domineering, "With this intensity, I don't need to rest!" β
Li Kaiming's suggestion was taken by Pastner, so in the last five minutes of the first half, Memphis's lineup changed, and the starting five Williams went down to rest, and Robert Sully came on top.
Memphis's change of formation did not surprise Lao K, the Tigers were beaten in a wave, and they must change formations.
He just reminded Duke's players and sat down in a chair on the bench.
is worthy of the old K, the tense and exciting crazy March final is still in the mood to sit, and Pastner on the other side is standing the whole time.
After the game came back, Memphis served, and after Williams went down, Memphis's tactical core was only Li Kaiming, so this time he chose to receive the ball near the free throw line.
Duke's current interior team is the Plumlee brothers, and the main defense is his older brother Myles Plumlee.
Li Kaiming took the ball to observe the situation, and then suddenly broke through to the right side of the ball.
He was so fast that Miles Plumlee was accidentally overrun by half a body.
The younger brother on the right, Mason Plumlee, immediately helped his brother to make up for the defense, stood on the edge of the penalty area on the right, and waited for Li Kaiming to collide with him, and then attacked his brother on both sides.
But inside the restricted area, Li Kaiming's powerful layup ability is not something that a young Plumlee brother can block.
After he dribbled the ball, and when his body was about to hit Mason, he suddenly turned around with his left foot as an elbow, and turned one hundred and eighty degrees at the speed of light, flashing through the gap between the Plumlee brothers!
On the other side, Singler wanted to make up for the defense, but it was too late, and Li Kaiming turned around and directly slammed his hands violently!
His body resembles a monkey in a zoo tree, dangling from a basket and dangling it before hitting the ground.
Duke made quick free throws, Schell dribbled to the frontcourt, and Memphis' defense was quick to get in place.
Li Kaiming was the fastest runner and was the first to return to his backcourt.
As soon as Schell saw that the beast center on the opposite side had arrived in the restricted area, he immediately dismissed the idea of attacking the basket!
Just kidding, if you want to eat hot pot, you can take a plane to Chuandu, why should you find yourself unhappy in the live broadcast competition in the United States.
In fact, when Li Kaiming was on the field, the Duke players tried to avoid shooting in the penalty area.
Not because they are self-aware, but the bloody facts have taught them to avoid it!
The Duke players started to run, and Sully, who was defending Smith, was directly passed by Smith, and his defense was just too poor.
Smith shot from mid-range and hit the iron, and Li Kaiming collected the rebound.
Li Kaiming also wanted to see if he could play the fast break, but Duke couldn't fall three times in the same place.
After Smith made a shot, the Plumlee brothers didn't even look at the rebound, they just turned around and ran!
I don't know if I thought I was surviving in this wilderness!
It can be seen how much psychological shadow Li Kaiming's fast break has left on Duke players......
After getting the ball this time, Li Kaiming was directly served by the Plumlee brothers.
In desperation, he had to give the ball to Witherpens in the bottom corner.
Today's Memphis outside feel is really bad, and after Witherpens receives the ball, the rhythm is very good, but it is still Bang's iron.
The Plumlee brothers are all shorter than Li Kaiming, so the two of them teamed up to get Li Kaiming, eager to sit on Li Kaiming's lap.
If it was Li Kaiming before, I'm afraid there would be nothing he could do about it, but now he has the strength of 80, and it is still okay to bully two immature college players.
He gently confronted, carrying the two people in front of him, and then the powerful force suddenly exploded, directly knocking away the two Plumlees, stretching out his long arms to pick up the rebounds on the heads of the two.
The two carried one and were robbed of the rebound, and the Plumlee brothers were naturally not convinced, so they immediately wrapped it up.
Li Kaiming chose to trust his teammates again, threw the ball out, and Witherpens shot another three points in the big gap!
Finally in!
