Chapter 120: It's Too Hard to Chase Points!

The break ended quickly, and at the start of the second half, both sides switched into their own starters in unison.

It seems that even the old K coach does not dare to be careless about the championship game.

In the second half, it was Duke who started the game.

Jon Sher received the ball and dribbled to the frontcourt, he was no longer obsessed with singles Kemp, called a cover, faced Daniel Mac, and suddenly stepped back for three points.

After a twenty-minute break, Scheer's hand began to cool down, and the basketball smashed on the basket and was pocketed by Li Kaiming under the basket.

Duke University gave up on the frontcourt board because they had to rush to the backcourt to defend Li Kaiming's fast break.

This led to no one grabbing backcourt rebounds from Li Kaiming at all, and he didn't have to jump, waiting for the rebounds to fall into his arms.

Memphis's offensive round, after Williams came back in the second half, Memphis's tactics were much richer.

With the duo of Williams and Kaiming Lee, Duke is difficult to defend.

But they still chose to block the more threatening Li Kaiming and give Williams a little space.

If nothing else, just because Li Kaiming's shot was close to the basket, obviously, compared to Williams's outside shot, Li Kaiming's offense in the restricted area made Duke University more fearful.

Williams has a good hand, Duke gives him a little space, and he can throw in!

36:39!

There is only one goal left!

The Duke players were unhurried, Schell and Smith were passing each other on the outside, and Singler was covering on the other side.

Smith, who has the ball, passes the ball immediately!

Singler catches the ball and throws it, and the basketball almost grabs past Daniel Mac's fingertips!

But Singler still threw in!

He's currently shooting 4-of-4 from three-point range, 100 percent shooting!

The margin returned to 6 points.

This time, after Li Kaiming and Williams blocked the demolition, the former chose to dismantle outside, while Williams killed it in one step.

Duke University's restricted area is very well protected, and as soon as Williams stepped into the restricted area, he was blocked by people from three directions.

In desperation, Williams had no choice but to pass the ball. Kemp picked up the ball from the outside and got the ball on the go, and Memphis' first offensive attempt failed.

Li Kaiming immediately came to the vicinity of the penalty area from outside the three-point line, took the ball from Kemp, arched twice against Zubek, and then turned around with a hook!

Zubeek was carried away, and Li Kaiming's hook fell into the basket.

With the power bonus, he can even play a heavy center like Zubeek with ease, and until then he had to rely on speed to play to the basket.

In retrospect, Duke wanted to use the same tactic, but Memphis saw through it, and Nolan Smith and Singler started around the figure eight from the bottom corner of both sides, using two inside lines and cross-covers between each other, and finally Smith got another open spot in the bottom corner of the other side!

Duke University is three points again!

In this attack, Li Kaiming was caught by Duke as soon as he got the ball on the inside, and Witherpens, who was released on the same side, Li Kaiming immediately passed the ball over.

Witherpens listened to Pastner, took the ball very crisply, and then hit an equally crisp iron.

This rebound bounced to the opposite side, and even if Li Kaiming wanted to grab it, he couldn't do anything.

Nolan Smith got the ball and started the fast break directly!

He started from the back, was extremely fast, and rushed to the front court with the ball in a matter of seconds! Williams, who was defending him, was also trying his best to follow, but it was still very difficult for Smith, who rushed up, to slow him down, and Williams could only make some interference on the side.

At this time, Smith had already leaned on Williams to burst into the Memphis restricted area, and then only took one step to close the ball, and went straight to the basket!

Because he knew that the fast center on the opposite side must be behind him, so he didn't follow the rhythm of three steps to the layup, but started to make a layup with one step.

However, the idea is good, but the reality is cruel!

Li Kaiming behind him also took off, and the whole person directly covered Smith, and then slapped his big hand!

Smith's layup, which he thought had a peculiar rhythm, ate a pegboard hat from Li Kaiming!

This cap directly made the atmosphere of the scene warm again.

At the start of the second half, both sides scored, but it was always some mid-range or three-pointers.

But compared to those blood-pumping blocks and dunks, the shooting is still a little less interesting!

Li Kaiming's pegboard hat made the slightly dull atmosphere of the scene instantly become high!

After the block, the rebound was picked up by Williams under the basket, and then immediately launched a fast break!

After Li Kaiming landed, he took a few steps, and immediately turned around and charged towards his own frontcourt!

Smith was left far behind by the two of them.

Memphis once again formed a situation of fast attack and more play less!

The rest of the people in Duke University focused on Li Kaiming, who was charging through the bull, and involuntarily began to gather in the middle lane, intending to stop Li Kaiming with a group of people acting as speed bumps.

In this way, although Li Kaiming's fast attack was blocked, the vacancy left for the rest of Memphis was very large.

Camp passes directly to Daniel Mack at forty-five degrees!

Mike catches the ball and throws it, and hits a three-point shot!

41:45!

Duke University couldn't play a fast attack, and turned around and was beaten by the University of Memphis!

The veteran K coach on the sidelines was experienced and immediately called the first timeout of the second half.

This timeout was not to change their lineup or tactics, but to interrupt Memphis' momentum.

Memphis just attacked and defended, which obviously drove the momentum of the audience.

For these two teams, the crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium is not home and away, they are all grass on the wall, and whichever team plays well will support whomever they want.

Therefore, in order to avoid the live crowd supporting the University of Memphis, Coach K Sr. immediately used the first timeout.

Again and again, again and again, again and again.

After this limelight, Duke University can still press Memphis to fight when he comes back from a pause!

On the bench in Memphis, Pastner gave his players a few words of encouragement.

The timeout passed quickly and the game started again.

Duke serves, Nolan Smith takes advantage of Singler's cover, suddenly cuts in from inside the three-point line, and Schell, who is holding the ball, hits the ground and stuffs the ball from Kemp's side into Smith's hand.

After the high-speed Smith took the ball, he jumped straight up, twisted his body in the air to aim himself at the basket, and then flicked his wrist.

The difficulty of this ball is very high, the drift jump shot after receiving the ball, and Li Kaiming has already pounced, but Smith still throws it!

The difference is back to 6 points again!

The audience immediately turned against Smith and began to cheer for Smith's wonderful goal!

With 16 minutes left in the game and almost four minutes into the second half, Memphis couldn't even see any hope of closing the gap.

Every time Memphis scores, Duke University responds immediately, and if it goes on like this, Memphis will definitely lose!

And today's University of Memphis has a mediocre feel, and it simply can't match Duke's outside firepower.

Looking at the situation of his teammates, today's feeling is like this, counting on others to suddenly break out, it is better for Li Kaiming to come by himself!

It's just that Duke would rather let his teammates throw open spots on the outside than give him a chance to get the ball inside, what should he do......

His three-pointers won't be very reliable......

Wait, three points!

Li Kaiming suddenly thought of something......
