Not only the ability to counterattack, but also the ability to defend against counterattacks, the alligator team has also declined sharply.

The red-haired Bonner looks more windy than Haslem, but he can't go back at all.

On the Trojans' side, after discovering the advantage in counterattacking, as long as the opponent hits the iron and protects the defensive rebound, regardless of whether the opportunity is good or not, Granville will take Li Ao to rush in a wave.

At this stage, the Trojan team led by Li Ao really took the initiative, and the offense and defense changed shape!

Rao is known as the best young coach in the decade, and he can't think of a way at this time, so he can only expect the players to explode and drag the amazing talent of the newcomer opposite to rest.

This newcomer is so good that he should describe it in one sentence - full of aura!

The technology is singular, but strong enough.

And he has a high degree of trust in his teammates, does not interfere in things that he will not do, and does not open the situation with his personal ability, but connects the whole team.

In terms of individual scoring, there are almost no single scores, but his ability to seize opportunities is particularly strong, and his awareness is much higher than that of other fellow college players.

Up to now, Li Ao has scored 14 points on 7-of-9 shooting!

It's not at all comparable to the No. 1 high school student in the United States!

The more he looked at Li Ao, the more Billy Donovan looked down on Donnell Harvey.

Donnell Xavi's image on the pitch is that he plays selflessly and is willing to do the dirty work.

But within the team, there is always a fight for this and that, that is, the title of 'No. 1 high school student in the United States' is loud, and the coaching staff and teammates are willing to accommodate.

Even Mike Miller has taken the initiative to reduce playing time and shots.

However, the No. 1 high school student in the United States is still dissatisfied with the status quo, and after hearing that there is an expectation of a draft in the middle of the first round, he has been saying things like "I'm going to the NBA soon" to his teammates for a while.

I don't know if he deliberately said this for the sake of power, or if he really just thought so, Billy Donovan could only try his best to keep it, so he also had a disagreement with Mike Miller, who also decided to leave college early to participate in the NBA draft.

Without the help of Ron Kruger, Billy Donovan knew how difficult it was to control the team.

It's true that he has absolute dominance of the team, but there are still a lot of things to worry about.

Fortunately, he chose to hold back this breath, and he already had a dislike for Mike Miller, at least he had to keep Donnell Harvey as a genius.

But seeing the real genius, he looks at how Donnell Harvey looks unpleasant, and it is better to cultivate more Bonner, Brett Nelson and others.

At 13 minutes and 27 seconds, the Trojans attacked, and Brushenthal drew Bonner out on the right side of the three-second zone, and on the left side of the basket, Li Ao hooked his hand against Donnell Harvey...... Hit!

35-28, the Trojans lead by 7 points!

The alligators didn't call a timeout, and Mike Miller stepped up at the critical moment and hit a three-point shot from the cover to narrow the gap to four points.

Henry Bibby reluctantly called a timeout.

He couldn't imagine that the other party was lagging behind and dragging it out.

Unlike the opening game, which only played for more than 7 minutes, now the two major strikers on the opposite side, Mike Miller and Donnell Harvey, have been playing for more than ten minutes, and the physical exertion is much greater than then.

Is it just that he is angry, so he has to spend a timeout?

But he really had to call a timeout, and Granville and Li Ao also needed to rest, and he speculated that the other party was less likely to gamble, and the real goal was to consume these two key offensive players.

It's just a pause, it doesn't matter, the offense and defense have changed shape, and now the advantage is mine!

Henry Bibby was replaced with a combination of Nate Hale, Rashad Jones, Shelby Jordan, White Mamba and Brushenthal.

After the timeout, Haslem and Teddy Dupe were also replaced on the opposite side, but both forwards were replaced, Haslem played power forward this time, Matt Bonner continued to play center, and Brett Nelson and Brenton Wright served as wing guards.

This lineup is decent offensively, but the defense is good, and it is also suitable for playing offensive and defensive transitions.

Billy Donovan was prepared to use it in the rotation phase to deal with the Trojans before the game, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault.

Even if he played 17-10 in the opening game, he didn't think that he could defeat the opponent in half time, and the opponent's strength was obvious to all.

I didn't expect to rely on this lineup to bite the score now.

And haven't bitten it yet!

The white mamba, who is back on the field, plays very positively!

The white mamba is very obedient to the head coach's arrangement and has a strong team spirit.

But no matter how the team is, he will not be reconciled, he accepts the role of losing the first main attack point of the main lineup in a game like the final semifinals, but he still wants to snatch back what belongs to him with his performance on the field.

How to rob?

Of course, it is a better performance than Li Ao!

The alligators didn't bite the score as Billy Donovan prayed, and under the leadership of White Mamba, the Trojans scored four goals in six attacks and scored nine points, and White Mamba scored seven points on 3-of-4 shooting.

On the side of the alligators, this lineup, the positional battle offense is really not good, the opposite side has a high shooting rate, and their defensive counterattack has not been played, and only 4 points have been scored in 5 attacks.

The score came to 35-44, and the alligators were 9 points behind!

Unable to survive until the end of the first half, Billy Donovan had no choice but to replace Mike Miller early.

On the other side, Henry Bibby guessed the opponent's intention to call a timeout at this time, and also re-sent Granville and Li Ao.

After returning from a timeout, Mike Miller showed his prowess as the NCAA's top scorer, scoring two straight two-pointers.

But on the other side, Li Ao seized the opportunity again, taking advantage of the white mamba's 7 points just now, and continuously cut into the basket to complete the score, hit a hook shot, and was fouled by a shot and hit both free throws, and also scored 4 points.

When it came to the alligators' offense, Mike Miller continued to run around the pile to catch the ball and shoot, but this time Li Ao did a good job of chasing and defending, and the interference was in place!

Mike Miller pouted his ass and leaned forward to hit the neck of the basket and bounced high, and Haslem and Brushenthal scrambled together, and the ball was finally touched out of bounds by Haslem.

Billy Donovan had some regrets and couldn't complete the second attack, but he managed to bite the score in the last two minutes, the difference was still in single digits, and with 11 seconds left, he could defend ......

The other side actually called a timeout!

Although he didn't understand, he immediately made personnel changes, sending a combination of Brett Nelson, Kenny Wick, Donnell Harvey, Brenton Wright, and Haslem to defend.

But when the timeout came back, it was still scored by the Trojans!

The Trojans made a false shot, with Li Ao's main attack and Bai Mamba's response as the diversion point, Granville broke through the ball to Brushenthal, and Brushenthal hit a jumper from close range!

At 50-39, the Trojans had a double-digit lead!

In the last 1.8 seconds, Kenny Wick received the ball in the backcourt and threw a three-pointer directly...... No.

The Trojans led by 11 points heading into the second half!

…

During the break, Time Warner Cable Sports commentators Bill Wharton and Hubby Brown analyzed the half-time performance of both teams.

The biggest difference between the two is not the performance of the players, but the experience of the managers of both sides.

Billy Donovan is a good coach, but too inexperienced.

Although Henry Bibby coached the NCAA for about the same time as Billy Donovan, he coached the Continental Basketball Association for many years before entering the NCAA, and also led the team to win championships, and has more experience in on-court command.

With the two sides evenly matched, Henry Biby made more and better choices in this game.

In addition to this, the Trojans' team performance in this game also amazed the two commentators.

In this game, the Trojans players were in good shape, and almost everyone performed exceptionally well, giving Li Ao, who was mainly off the ball, a lot of opportunities.

Compared with the white mamba, Li Ao, who looks for opportunities in the middle distance and under the basket, when his teammates perform well, Li Ao has significantly more opportunities.

And Li Ao also caught it, shooting an amazing performance of 8 of 11, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and got 18 points and 5 assists in the half!

The current situation is very unfavorable for the alligators.

The Trojans have taken full control of the initiative.

Hubby Brown predicts that Billy Donovan will go for it in the second half.

Soon, the halftime break was over, and as analyzed by the legendary star + legendary manager, the crocodiles sent a combination of Teddy Dupe, Brett Nelson, Mike Miller, Donnell Harvey, and Matt Bonner on their side.

And this was also expected by Henri Bibi!

The head coach opposite is very young and has an unlimited future, but now, it is still him who is an experienced middle-aged man who is stronger!

He fielded a combination of Granville, Trepagnier, Li Ao, White Mamba, and Brushenthal.

I didn't dare to make such a substitution at the beginning of the game because I was behind.

Now they are 11 points ahead, and if the opponent wants to soar the score, then they will soar!

At the beginning of the second half, the two teams played a very beautiful offensive battle, playing a wave of 10-9, and the Trojans lost by 1 point.

The score came to 50-60 and the Crocodiles narrowed the gap to 10 points, which did not materially affect the Trojans' lead.

As the front lengthened, the efficiency of the scorers on both sides began to decline.

Because of all the unexpected changes, the 10 leading scorers on both sides played for a long time in the first half, and after the first wave of attacks at the beginning of the second half, they should have entered the rotation stage.

But Billy Donovan doesn't dare to replace the core scorer now, whether it is the forward double-gate lineup led by Li Ao or the second team led by Bai Mamba, the regular rotation on their side can't be beaten, only the strongest firepower lineup at the moment can bite the score and see if there is a chance to turn the tables.

However, Henry Bibby didn't dare to change people at this time, honest people will really bite people if they are in a hurry, no matter what!

The other side has been steady in the first half, but I didn't expect to be so aggressive in the second half.

But he has confidence in the players, and he is 10 points ahead, and he will consume it to see whose strongest firepower lineup can soar!

That's when the Trojans have the edge!

At this point, the Alligators are gradually chaotic in their offense, and once Mike Miller has a bad chance, everyone else is shooting with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and there is no stability to speak of.

On the Trojans' side, the current first scoring point is Bai Mamba, but in addition to his clear shooting point, there is also Li Ao!

Bai Mamba's guidance, Li Ao remembered in his heart - when you feel that your teammates' opportunities are not as good as your own throwing, you can't put the responsibility on your teammates, you have to solve the problem yourself, so that your teammates can play more simply.

Li Ao began to take the initiative to take the pot, and Bai Mamba was focused on not having a good chance of guarding, so he took the initiative to take the shot; The team's tactical coordination was not played well, and he accelerated his pace to run and take advantage of the cover to catch the ball and shoot.

Although the Trojans are not very efficient, they play well!

At 16 minutes and 33 seconds into the second half, Li Ao ran in the middle distance, suddenly ran back, cut into the basket with Trepagnier's cover, and threw the ball ...... The strength was a little less, and it hit the basket.

But as luck would have it, it fell into the frame with a twist!

At 76-61, the Trojans had a 15-point lead.

Seeing that the main scorers were too tired, Billy Donovan could only call a timeout, and he wanted to replace the main scorers, but Mike Miller was unwilling to play and wanted to give it a go.

Guessing that the star of the house was playing this game as if it were the last game, Billy Donovan finally agreed to Mike Miller's request, and by the way, Donnell Harvey continued to play, but the other three main players were replaced and replaced by a substitute.

Henry Bibby, on the other hand, went straight up and down five times, and replaced the combination of Nate Hale, Rashad Jones, Malaji Thurston, Shelby Jordan, and Charles.

In the last three minutes, Mike Miller scored 9 points alone, playing a wave of 9-2, but it was a drop in the bucket for a 15-point difference.

At 4:51 p.m., the final whistle blew.

The more than 20,000 Trojan fans who had been gathering strength for a while erupted in deafening cheers at this moment, completely covering the voices of the more than 40,000 'four-team United Army fans' at the scene.

Li Ao and his teammates on the sidelines also rushed into the field for the first time to cheer and celebrate with their teammates.

They won!

Finally won!

78-70, the Trojans defeated the alligators to advance to the finals!

Li Ao received a prompt for the completion of the task, and he glanced at it.

28 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and got 290 achievement points.

The quest 'Final Stage' is completed, and you will get 10,000 achievement points, orange equipment upgrade cards, and 3 basic attribute points.

But the hit rate ...... was stunned from 8 of 11 to 11 of 21, only 3 of 10 shots in the second half, plus 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 10 points.

The mission of 'Great Eve' failed, and Mike Miller had already scored 26 points and 35 points in the game before the final nine straight points, which was a long time ago.

He didn't bother with this task, he had to play with the life limit, and with the cooperation of his teammates, it was possible to limit Mike Miller's scoring, but the wing defense was over.

The offensive strength of the opposing team did not give him a chance to target Mike Miller at all.

However, it is not a loss, the task of 'picking the pillar' has been completed, and his 28 points are the highest in the team, beating Bai Mamba's 25 points and getting 5,000 achievement points.

When celebrating, Li Ao looked at the unwilling expression of the 'four-team coalition fans' and was in a happy mood.

Seeing many Alligator fans shed tears of sadness, he had no sympathy and only thought of one thing - don't let the fans who are now cheering for them and happy and excited about their victory shed tears!

After celebrating with his teammates, Li Ao came to the sidelines to celebrate the victory with Aunt Courtyard Assistant and Liam, and he could hear the cheers of the two tonight almost all the time in the field.

Both of them are now almost hoarse, and they are still too excited.

The daughter of the wealthy family next to him seemed to be very excited, and Li Ao also politely gave a gentle hug, which was very separated, he was covered in dirty sweat, and he couldn't afford to pay for it if he soiled other people's clothes.

Even if he is not afraid of offending people, he has to think about it for the assistant aunt.

But I didn't expect the other party to post it directly.

At this time, the reporter of the TV station found Li Ao, who got the highest score of the team tonight, and was selected as the subject of the post-game interview.

However, before the reporter could ask a question, Paris Hilton stuck to Li Ao and shouted at the camera first: "Leo, I'm going to have a baby for you!" ”

Li Ao: o(Д)っ!
