As the referee blew the whistle, the basketball was gently thrown into the air.
Li Kaiming and Claude Britten took off at the same time!
But in a blink of an eye, Britton discovered that Li Kaiming was rising much faster than him. The moment the basketball stopped at the highest point, Li Kaiming stretched out his long arm to reach the ball. At the same time, he slapped the ball with his big hand, and the basketball flew to the Tigers point guard. In Camp's hands!
Kemp was calm when he got the ball. Since Li Kaiming became the starting center, the Tigers have never lost an opening jump ball!
Li Kaiming, who jumped to win the ball, quickly ran towards the frontcourt after landing. Britton followed closely behind with all his strength and gritted teeth.
Before he went on the field, his coach told him over and over again that even if all his energy was spent on defense and he couldn't score a single point, he would not be able to give Li Kaiming a chance for a fast break!
Fortunately, Britton's teammates helped block Li Kaiming's path and prevented him from rushing into the three-point line immediately. Britton breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran to the penalty area to keep an eye on Li Kaiming.
But before he could fully breathe out, he found that the Tigers' point guard lobbed the ball to Li Kaiming!
Li Kaiming's eyes flashed when he got the ball!
With a half-turn, he passed by Britton's side, then jumped up high, preparing for a dunk that would break Huashan!
At this moment, a dark-skinned figure flashed beside him. It turned out to be the small forward Eugene Calacter who was coming over from the Miners to defend. Although he was not tall, only over two meters tall, his bounce was quite impressive. vulgar.
Karakot flew high, stretched out his big black hand, and aimed at the basketball in Li Kaiming's hand!
Li Kaiming sneered in his heart, how dare you come to defend me at any level?
He didn't panic at all, his hands changed, and he avoided Karakot's defense with a change of hands. Then he rubbed one hand, and the basketball spun out of his hand and bounced off the backboard. basket.
"Beautiful! Li Kaiming looked like he stayed in the air for a second. He used a cool lever to dodge Karakot's defense!" Calvin in the commentary box spat at the microphone and sprayed stars like crazy!
The fans at the scene were also shocked by Li Kaiming's handsome layup.
"God, he's so tall and can actually pull the lever?"
"His drawbar reminded me of Kobe Bryant..."
In the audience, the hook-nosed man Maren Bart, a Knicks scout, also had a look of surprise on his face, "This No. 34, his layup skills are very good!"
After landing, Li Kaiming looked back at Karakot, who was stagnant in place, and then quickly returned to defense.
When the Miners attacked, the opponent's defender dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. After a few pick-and-rolls by several backcourt players, the ball was in the hands of the opponent's number one scorer, Randy Culpeper, and the defender guarding him, What a coincidence, but Williams is also the Tigers’ leading scorer!
Calvin in the commentary box became excited, "Randy faced off against Elliott. This is a highlight of today's game! Although Randy is the C-USA Player of the Year, he basically has no chance. Selected by the NBA. And Elliott is a very talented guy. ESPN predicts that he will be selected in the middle to late first round. Moreover, these two guys are averaging 17 points per game this season!"
Maren Bart, who was sitting in the front row of the auditorium, sat up slightly. Two major scorers were facing off. One of them was Williams, whom he wanted to focus on. He couldn't help but take it seriously. He even took out the bag in his backpack. A thick notebook, ready to take some notes.
In the process of getting the things, he inadvertently glanced at the fat man Kent beside him, and saw that Kent was as steady as a mountain and motionless, as if he was not here to inspect the players, but to enjoy the game as a pure fan.
Bart nudged Kent with his elbow, "Cannan, the face-to-face duel between Randy and Elliott is the most important highlight of today's game. Why do you look like you're fine? Don't you need to record something?"
Kent was stunned for a moment, then said, "These two guys are also very good, but I'm not here for them."
Bart's heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat, and he became more and more curious about who the fat man was talking about...
While the two were talking, Culpeper was already moving on the court. He first made a skillful change of direction and took a step to the right. When he looked up, he found that Williams had already blocked the breakthrough path. superior.
But Culpeper was not a vegetarian. He raised his left arm ball guard and fought with Williams for a while. Then he followed up with a scissor step, hit the ball with his right hand and turned his hip. He quickly dribbled the ball past Williams with his crotch. Sri Lanka.
Calvin shouted, "Beautiful dribbling, handsome passing!"
Bart in the stands also nodded, "Culpeper's basic skills are still very good, but it's a pity that he is a bit old and his upper limit can be seen at a glance."
Culpepper, who passed Williams, did not dare to relax at all, because before the game, the Miners' coach said during the video analysis that the Tigers' inside line should not be underestimated now, and their starting No. 34 The center protects the basket extremely well!
Therefore, although he passed the Tigers' first line of defense, he did not rush to attack the basket directly. Instead, he reduced his speed, stuck Williams behind him, and moved toward the basket at the same time, confusing the opponent's inside line.
Li Kaiming stood on the inside, staring at Culpeper's every move. From time to time, he would look back at his defender to avoid being stolen by him. If the guy scored one, then his progress in this game would be The mission was declared a failure. Although there was no punishment, a badge upgrade opportunity was lost.
In his opinion, if the money is not picked up, it is lost!
Looking at Culpeper who was constantly squirming towards the inside, he suddenly had a special thought in his mind...
At this time, Culpepper had already dribbled into the penalty area. When he looked up, he found that Li Kaiming, who was waiting in the penalty area, suddenly took two steps up for some reason, as if he was very afraid of his shot!
He was secretly happy in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change at all. Instead, he dribbled one step further in, and he was almost close to a layup.
Then he stepped on the ground with his left foot, bent his right leg and pushed up, and at the same time put the ball in front of his chest with both hands. Looking at him like this, he should be throwing!
Seeing Li Kaiming move forward a little, he was already some distance away from the basket. He suddenly flicked his wrist, changed the throw into a pass, and passed the basketball through the basket to center Britton, who had been ambushing him for a long time.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. What kind of powerful center did I think he was? It turns out that he is just a big fool, and he can't defend with a little strategy!
Britton also had a happy face after receiving the ball. He took off with the ball in both hands and was about to hit a powerful dunk!
But things didn't go as planned. Just when his hand reached the height of the backboard, a long arm suddenly came from his side. With a big hand from the sky, Britten's dunk was nailed to the backboard!
Under the influence of inertia, Britton's body flew towards the baseline, and then he fell at the feet of the cheerleaders and flipped on his back!
Lying on the ground, he accidentally saw Li Kaiming's expression, and saw a malicious smile on the face of the big man opposite...
