Under the leadership of Li Kaiming, in the remaining five minutes of the first half, the University of Memphis almost completely gave up the idea of defending Duke University, and instead started to fight against Duke!

But it was such a non-defensive strategy that actually helped Memphis chase some points back when the halftime whistle blew.

At halftime, the University of Memphis trailed by five points at 34:39.

Li Kaiming played the full 20 minutes of the half, scoring 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.

In regular time, he has always been the first to pass his teammates, but even then, he only got two assists in the half, which shows how bad the rest of Memphis feels today.

The only one who did well was Elliott Williams, who played 15 minutes at halftime and scored eight points.

On the other side, Duke University continued the hot hand of the previous game against West Virginia University, shooting 9-of-18 from three-point range in the half, and the three-point shooting rate was a terrible 50 percent.

In contrast, the Memphis group is literally a group of blacksmiths.

If it weren't for Li Kaiming's absolute advantage on the inside, coupled with the fact that he played several unstable fast attacks at Duke University at the beginning, I am afraid that they would have entered garbage time at this time.

After half-time, the Lucas Oil Stadium staff quickly arrived at the stadium and began to check the field for any problems.

Suddenly, a worker in blue overalls shouted!

"Hey, look at this basket!"

The others followed the sound and saw that the staff member was pointing to a basket.

A group of people gathered around and began to take a closer look.

This is the national finals, and the basket can't make a mistake, and if it is found that there is a problem with the basket, the fairness of the game will be questioned!

The staff member who found the problem immediately set up a chair and after careful measurement, he suddenly said in a shocked tone, "This basket is crooked!" ”

When the others heard this, their faces turned pale instantly!

If this gets out, the person in charge of venue management will have to fuck off!

Maybe you might even go to jail!

But after a while, the employee who was measuring on the ladder said again, "It's a screw on the basket that is loose!" Just look at the oil paint on it and know that it must have been loosened today! ”

When the people below heard this, they immediately gasped!

The hoops and hoops are maintained before each game and then painted on the screws so that if someone has changed the screws, the paint will come off there!

But now it was found that the screws were loose, and today's pre-race maintenance was done as usual.

This means that the basket must have been crooked in today's game!

What a force it must have to make the screws of the basket loose!

The strangeness in the court quickly attracted the attention of the commentators, and the host immediately asked the staff in charge of the scene, and after hearing that one of the baskets was crooked by the players, he immediately explained the situation to the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there was a little bit of a problem with the basket on the spot, the front court basket of the University of Memphis was violently damaged in the first half......"

As soon as these words came out, the entire gymnasium was silent!

"How much force does this have to make the basket crooked......"

"If I'm not mistaken, Li Kaiming is the only one who dunked on Memphis's side!"

"It can't be someone else in Memphis who smashes the basket from the outside, right?"

Compared with the slightly layman discussion of the fans, the NBA stars on the scene were even more shocked!

You must know that the baskets used in professional games are specially reinforced, because basketball players are inherently taller and more powerful than ordinary people.

And at the beginning of the design, there will be some margin for the force of the basket to prevent damage in certain rounds.

So in the entire history of the NBA, the one hand that can dunk the basket or the hoop in actual combat can be counted.

The most famous is the supersonic beast power forward of the 90s, nicknamed Sean Kemp of the Rain Man, but he smashed the rebound.

The other is Shaq O'Neal, nicknamed the big shark, O'Neal was still in the Magic period, and he once used a dunk in a game to pull the rebound down!

It can be seen what kind of freaks can break the rebound with a dunk in actual combat!

And today, another freak was born, although he didn't do it like the two predecessors to directly dry down the rebounds, thereby delaying the game, but it is also an operation that can leave a name in history!

So, during the 20-minute halftime break, the audience at the entire Lucas Oil Stadium was discussing Li Kaiming's crooked basket dunking, and no one even paid attention to the young and beautiful basketball baby in the middle of the court.

Inside the University of Memphis locker room.

Pastner was still writing and drawing on the tactical board and then constantly pointing out how to move the players.

His pressure is really high, it seems that Duke University only led by 5 points at halftime, but those who have watched the game know that except for the opening game after Duke University was caught off guard, Memphis was almost pressed by Duke University for the next ten minutes.

Memphis finally scored one with great effort, and when he turned around, Duke University was able to return the color immediately, and he couldn't defend the opposite side at all, and the effect may be better after hitting the opposite side, but the feel and projection ability are not as good as the other side, so if it goes on, only slow death will greet Memphis University.

Li Kaiming sat in his chair, his eyes staring at Pastner's tactical board, but his consciousness had already been immersed in the system space.

Because after half-time, he had already received the latest mission notification, and it was an unprecedented A-rank mission!

【Mission】

Rating: A

The Basics: Lead the University of Memphis to this season's National Championship! Rewards: 15-20 attribute points, 200-500 points. Failure Penalty: 20 attribute points are randomly deducted.

Advanced: Win the Championship Player of the Year (MOP). Reward: 4 badge upgrades.

The recent system is generous and a little scary!

Fortunately, his interests and the tasks of the system coincide, so there is no situation where he is unwilling to complete the task.

After reading the task description, Li Kaiming exited the system space, and Pastner's voice was heard in his ears again.

"In the second half, I was resolute, if there was a vacancy, I would shoot, and if I couldn't score, it would be mine! If anyone hesitates to give me any more, get out of here for me! ”

Pastner's tone was more serious than ever.

It's an NCAA national championship, and who wouldn't want to win it?

If Memphis can win the championship, then Pastnaco will make history, he will become the youngest championship coach since the establishment of the NCAA, the first coach to win the championship as a rookie!

Such an unprecedented and most likely the glory of the unprecedented, how could Pastner let it go!

In addition to Pastner, the players in Memphis are also very eager for this championship, Li Kaiming will not talk about it, and the system will teach him to be a man if he does not win the championship.

Williams wants to leave as a champion before entering the NBA, and Kemp and the rest of the team have been working hard for this championship for several years, and now they finally have the opportunity, so they naturally can't let it go.

Once they win, they will become part of the University of Memphis' illustrious history, and their legacy will live on as the University grows.
