Li Kaiming, who was concentrating, was almost staggered by the voice.
My uncle, I'm playing ball, I'm scared to death!
Although he knew that the novice gift package was a good thing, he was currently at a critical moment in the game and did not dare to be distracted and see what the so-called gift package was.
The most exciting part of the NCAA is a game that determines the outcome.
If they lose this game, the Tigers will say goodbye to March Madness. Even if he plays well, it will not matter because the NBA cannot draft him based on his performance in a conference playoff game.
What he needs is consistent performance to convince NBA managers and scouts.
Li Kaiming, who got the rebound, quickly passed the ball out and then rushed to the frontcourt to prepare for a tactic.
Kemp dribbled the ball and played several pick-and-rolls near the three-point line, but in the end there was no open space.
Kemp's breakthrough ability is really poor. Even if Li Kaiming went up to block the defender for him, he would not be able to score a layup against Houston's defense.
Seeing that more than half of the attack time had passed, but he could not find any space to take action, Li Kaiming became a little anxious. He blocked Mosley with his body and stretched out his long arm to signal Kemp to pass the ball to him.
He wants to beat Mosley with his back!
Kemp was stunned and hesitated for a moment, because in previous games, Li Kaiming did not show the ability to play from the back, and his weight is relatively light among the inside players, so in his opinion, playing from the back is not Not a good choice.
But there was no better way at this time. Kemp hesitated for a second and passed the ball to Li Kaiming.
After receiving the ball, Li Kaiming glanced at the timer and saw that there were 10 seconds left in the attack time!
Seeing him trying to hit the ball behind his back, Mosley's face behind him was filled with joy!
According to common sense, the heavier a person is, the easier it will be to hit him from behind.
But after half-time competition, Mosley discovered that Li Kaiming's weight was not much different from his. What he was most afraid of was that Li Kaiming would hit him high with his face to the basket, using his height and wingspan to bully him. If Li Kaiming chose to hit him from behind, he would It seems that he is undoubtedly seeking death!
There was a hint of excitement in his eyes. He had been suppressed since Li Kaiming came on the field. Now he had a chance to prove himself and dispel the accumulated resentment in the second half. How could he not be excited?
Li Kaiming protected the ball in front of his chest, pressed his body back, and felt Mosley's power.
"Stop being delusional, you can't score this ball!" Mosley from behind pushed him with his chest while spewing trash talk.
Li Kaiming frowned, not because he was affected by Mosley's trash talk, but because he found that it was still difficult to run in with his back, and there was a risk of being double-teamed and making a mistake.
It seems that there is only one trick!
He observed the situation and after confirming that there was no tendency to be double-teamed, he shot the ball!
boom! boom!
Pastner frowned on the sidelines. After getting the ball inside, he should dribble as little as possible. Because he is too tall and has a high center of gravity when dribbling, he is very easy to be intercepted. This is something every professional player knows.
What's more, it's still within the three-point line at this time!
But he didn't say anything. After all, Li Kaiming had brought him many surprises. What if it was the same this time?
Li Kaiming dribbled the ball and took two steps forward. When he felt Mosley behind him starting to resist, he quickly turned his back, then aimed at the basket and pulled up for a fadeaway jumper!
Mosley was trying his best to defend when he suddenly felt the pressure in front disappear. He looked up and saw that Li Kaiming had already jumped to his side.
Li Kaiming flicked his wrist gently, and the basketball in his hand fell perfectly into the basket like a missile equipped with a guidance system.
Uh-huh!
64:60, the Tigers widened the point difference to 4 points, with 30 seconds left before the end of the game!
Calvin, the commentator on the sidelines, went completely crazy!
"Oh my god, what kind of move is this? Why can a two-meter-one big man shoot a fadeaway jumper like Jordan? Who can tell me what kind of monster God created?"
The fans at the scene kept screaming and cheering. Whether they were Houston fans or Memphis fans, they were all conquered by Li Kaiming's performance!
They shouted Li Kaiming's name in unison, followed by the three letters MVP!
MVP! MVP! MVP!
Listening to the cheers of the fans on the sidelines, Li Kaiming turned to Mosley, who looked dull, and spread his hands, "Sorry, I seem to be a little lucky!"
beep!
Houston's head coach used up his final timeout.
Pastner rushed up and hugged Li Kaiming, "Li, thank you, you saved the team!"
Seeing the coach so excited, Li Kaiming smiled slightly and patted Pastner on the back, "Coach, we still have one more defense to arrange. Victory is only in front of us, not in our hands yet."
Seeing Pastner losing his composure, Li Kaiming was also very sad.
Last offseason, the then head coach Calipari announced his resignation as coach and joined the famous basketball school University of Kentucky. His departure not only caused Memphis to lose an excellent coach, but also took away the team's recruiting team, resulting in DeMarcus Cousins, who originally planned to join the Tigers, was taken to Kentucky, while the team's main players Darnell Dodson and Xavier Henry both chose to join the University of Kansas.
The young Pastner was appointed at the critical moment and assumed the position of coach. However, at this time, the Memphis Tigers were no longer the team that reached the Sweet Sixteen last season. Those who came did not come, and they became a completely bad team!
But the goal set by the school's athletic director for Pastner was to at least make it to March Madness, otherwise he would be told to get out!
Faced with such tremendous pressure, how could Pastner not lose his composure at this moment?
Even to some extent, Li Kaiming is very similar to the coach.
The one-minute timeout passed quickly, and the referee signaled the players from both sides to return to the playing field.
Li Kaiming stood in the penalty area and watched the opposite player quickly dribble the ball across the half court.
During the timeout, Pastner has emphasized that you must not give the opponent a chance to make a three-pointer. Even if you let the opponent layup, you cannot let them shoot a three-pointer!
As usual, Houston gave the ball to No. 12 Coleman. After a series of dazzling pick-and-rolls, the person who switched to Coleman became Li Kaiming.
Although he knew he couldn't make a three-pointer, Li Kaiming still let Coleman go as if it was nothing!
This guy is too fast, just stay a step and cover him with your arms! Li Kaiming made up his mind.
Coleman took a step forward and saw that Li Kaiming was unmoved. Then he withdrew outside the three-point line, pulled up and shot a three-pointer!
Li Kaiming secretly thought that something was wrong, and was about to pounce forward. Suddenly, a figure jumped out from beside him!
It's his teammate Williams!
The two of them are very fast, but it's a pity that Coleman's shot is faster!
Uh-huh!
When the ball was scored, Williams sprinted too far and failed to stop, knocking over Coleman who was still in the air!
beep!
The referee raised his fist and blew the whistle to indicate a foul on Williams!
Three plus one!
If a penalty is added, the two sides will tie!
